DISCLAIMER: ..ICARLY!

Chapter 13: I know…

[SAM'S POV]

"So what are our plans for Christmas vacation, Carly?" I asked as I plopped down on their sofa.

"We're going to Yakima for Christmas, actually…" She said as she made her way towards the kitchen.

"Wait, what?" I asked as I got up and dashed towards the kitchen.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you!" She said as she face palmed. "My granddad called last night. He wants us to spend Christmas there with him."

"That's just great!" I sighed as sat down on the kitchen counter. "What am I gonna do this Christmas?"

"You still got Freddie. I'm sure you'll both could find something to do… You two always find something fun to do if I'm not around." She said as she gave me a wink and smiled.

That statement of hers made me feel guilty. It's been weeks since me and Freddie have been together and we never bothered to tell Carly the news. I think it's time me and the nub tell her the truth before she leaves…

"Hola chikas!" Freddie announced as he waltz inside the room.

"Hey Freddie! I made my famous lemonade juice! Want any?" Carly said as she grabbed four glasses and began to pour her icky juice on them one by one.

"Uhhh…" Freddie said as he looked the glass with disgust.

I began to walk towards the couch and sat as Freddie did too.

"Yo Puckett, why the long face?" He said as he sat down next to me.

"She's just upset that I'm going to Yakima for Christmas…" Carly said whilst I dropped my head down.

"You are?" Freddie said as he looked at me. "Is this a bad thing?"

"IT IS TO ME!" I wailed as I lied on the couch with my head on his lap.

Carly laughed as she made her way towards the living room.

"I told her you're still here. You can both spend it together. You both do other things together when I'm not around, so why not Christmas right?"

Freddie and I chuckled nervously as she put the three glasses of lemonade juice on the table and sat on the chair across us.

"SPENCER!" She screamed as Spencer hastily ran towards the room.

"WHAT IS IT? WHERE'S THE FIRE?" He yelled.

"There's no fire. Come and get your lemonade juice on the table!" She instructed.

"Oh, cool!" He said as he grabbed one of the lemonade in front of us. "Who made it?" He asked as he hastily drank it.

"I did, silly!" Carly said as Spencer did a spit-take.

"Oh…" He said as he looked at the glass disgustingly.

"Okay, what is with you three and my lemonade?" She said as she stood up and looked at us.

"Well… You see"

"I… Uhhh…"

"Well, we…"

"Well?" She said as she impatiently tapped her foot and cocked her eyebrows.

"Look…" Spencer said as he put his arms on her shoulders. "Let's talk in private…" and with that they were out of sight as the elevator dinged…

"So…" Freddie said as he then looked at me. "Why are you sad that Carly's going to Yakima? I'm still here you know…"

"I know that… It's just… This would be the first time she's not around on Christmas…" I said as I stood up and walked towards the fridge.

"Oh, Sam…" Freddie said as he ran up to me and hugged me. "I know how you feel. Don't worry, okay? We'll spend Christmas together. Just you and me, baby…"

"Wait, what about your mom?" I asked as I got out of his grip and looked at him in the eyes.

"She's visiting my sick aunt and doesn't want me to come along coz I might catch something… So…" He said as he kissed my neck and nuzzled his face on my hair.

"Stop it, Frednub! Carly and Spencer might see us!" I said as he released his grip on me.

"You know… I think we should tell them." He said as he leaned on the kitchen counter.

"My thoughts exactly!" I said as I opened the fridge.

"So, when will we tell her? And probably Spencer…" He asked.

"I dunno… I guess before they leave for Yakima." I said as I took out a ham from their fridge and set it on the table.

I happily sat down and began to eat it as I heard Frednerd chuckle.

"What?" I said with a mouth full of ham.

"You're cute when you eat…" He said as he walked towards the dining table and sat down beside me.

"Stop complementing me when I'm eating!" I laughed as I grabbed a piece of ham and threw it at him.

[A FEW HOURS LATER]

"Spence, can you cook the ham while I start packing?" Carly said as she started to pack.

"Sure!" He said as he walked towards the fridge.

"Uh oh…" I murmured as I stepped back.

"That's strange…" Spence said.

"What's wrong?" Carly said as she walked towards Spencer.

He didn't say a word but revealed an empty plate as they both turned to look at me.

"So… Where's the ham?" I said innocently.

"In your stomach…" Carly laughed as walked to the phone. "I'll order Chinese food instead…"

"Good idea. Unless you want to eat a plate full of ham crumbs, then be my guest…" Spence said as he threw the plate.

"That's what you get when you have Sam as a guest in your house…" Freddie laughed as he put an arm on my shoulders.

"Awww… How cute!" Carly cooed.

"If I didn't know any better, you two are DATING…" Spencer said as he saw Freddie's arms around me.

Me and Freddie laughed nervously as he let his arms fell to his sides and looked at me…

"Okay, what's up? You two are acting weird lately…" Carly said as hung up the phone. "Now, spill…"

"Uh…" I started but was cut off by Freddie.

"I think you need to sit down before we tell you…" He said as he motioned for Carly and Spencer to sit down.

As they slowly sat down on the sofa, I looked at Freddie signaling him to do the honors.

"Okay… Carls, Spence… I don't know how you two will react on this news but here goes… Me-"

"Freddie and I are dating…" I said coolly.

"We know…"

"Now, I know this might come to a shock on both of you bu- Wait, did you just say-"

"You KNEW?" I said.

"Of course I knew. I wouldn't be your best friend if I didn't know, now would I?" She explained.

"Yes, but how?" Freddie asked a little baffled.

"Well you see, it all started when I was at school waiting for you two…"

I walked to my locker and grabbed my books for my next class when Gibby walked up to me…

"Hey Carly!" He said with a smile.

"Oh, Hey Gib!" I said while giving him a smile. "Have you seen Freddie and Sam by any chance?"

"Not since yesterday at the Groovy Smoothies…"

"Wait, did you just say? You saw them at the Groovy Smoothies yesterday?" I asked him.

"Yup, I did. They were just talking and laughing." He reported.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"Not that I could remember much… Well, Freddie kept on holding her hand when they talked. Other than that, they were just hanging out." He shrugged.

That's when it hit me. Freddie held her hand… then that means… OMG!

"Did they go somewhere after or what?" I asked smiling.

"I didn't see them left but I guess they left together."

And that's all I needed.

"Hey Carls, I was wondering…" He started.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Is Freddie and Sam, you know… DATING?"

"Why'd you ask?"

"Nothing... It's just that yesterday they look like they were dating than hanging out, if you know what I mean. Sure Sam insults him and calls him names but not the usual harassment that you see. It seemed more flirty, you know? And Freddie didn't even seem insulted or anything. He just shook his head, laugh or sometimes teases her a little…"

And that's the confirmation I needed to hear. So, they're not JUST hanging out again but maybe MORE! I seriously need to find out…

"Wait, GIBBY saw US?" Freddie said as he looked at me and then to Carly.

"Yes, he saw you two…" She said. "But I needed to find out if it's true, so I investigated. So…"

I scanned the halls in search for you two. I checked everywhere but still you both were nowhere to be seen. Giving up, I turned around and walked to my first period when I saw it…

"Saw what Carly?" Spencer said dying to know.

"Shhhh… I'm getting to that part Spence." She said a little annoyed.

I slowly walked forward and hid behind the trashcan which smelled like week old baloney. I scrunched my eyes so I could see clearly. There in full view was Sam and Freddie entering the doors of Ridgeway, HOLDING HANDS!

"Wait, you saw us together?" Sam said shockingly.

"Yes… Even though you both didn't tell me sooner, I didn't get mad coz I know you'll tell me when you're ready." She smiled.

"Carls, I'm really sorry!" I said as I hugged her.

"But, how did YOU about us Spence?" Freddie asked as he looked at him.

"Yeah, how DID you know Spence?" Carly asked. "All I said to you was about Freddie and Sam not talking and Freddie admitting he likes Sam. How did you know they were together anyway?"

"I saw them walked out of Freddie's apartment on the day you saw them holding hands…" He said calmly.

"You did?" Freddie said as Spencer sat up and picked up the phone.

"Yup… and now if you'll excuse me, I have to call socko…" He said as he walked towards his room. "He owes me 200 bucks!"

"We're really sorry for not telling you sooner, Carls." Freddie said as I smiled apologetically at her.

"It's okay you guys. I'm totally cool with it. I'm glad you told me now…" She smiled. "Come on! We have to rehearse for iCarly!"

And with that, we ran upstairs right before we heard Spencer yell "SOCKO! YOU OWE ME 200 BUCKS MAN! SEDDIE HAPPENED! WOOHOO!"
