Sam's P.O.V:

Freddie and I just stood there, letting what just happened between us sink in. I could just hear his breathing and my breathing. Everything else was tuned out. Freddie just kissed me and I just kissed him.

"Sam..." Freddie said quietly, he seemed shocked himself. I'm sure he couldn't believe what he had just done. He looked like he didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to say either.

"Why did you just kiss me?" I asked softly. My voice sounded foreign to me. It was quiet and not aggressive at all.

"I don't know," Freddie said, and I believed him. He truly sounded like he had no idea why he kissed me.

"I don't know why I kissed you either," I said. We were still standing there, arms wrapped around each other. I suddenly realized that and backed away from him.

I sat down on the sand, and Freddie sat next to me. We were facing each other. "Sam, something just came over me. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable or something."

"Well, I kissed you again, so it didn't make me uncomfortable," I said, looking down at the sand. I didn't want to see Freddie's expression. It would probably make me want to kiss him again.

"What are we going to do now?" he asked.

I didn't answer his question, instead deciding to ask my own. "Did you like it?"

I was still looking down, but I imagined Freddie's shocked face. His eyes would probably widen and his mouth would open for a second, but then he would shut it when his mind processed the question. After a few seconds, I heard Freddie's response. "Yes," he whispered, as if he couldn't believe it himself.

I worked up enough courage to look at him. His eyes were closed like he didn't want to look at me either. Or all of this was overload for his brain. "I liked it too." I managed.

Freddie's eyes flew open at this. "Really?"

"Yeah," I said, again in that soft voice, which I'm sure I wouldn't be proud of if I watched this whole thing over again.

Our eyes met for a beat too long. We both leaned in and kissed again. I slipped my arms around Freddie's neck. He pulled me closer to him. We sat there for a little bit, kissing, until I fully realized what was happening.

I pulled away from him. "We can't do this Freddie."

He looked disappointed. "Why?"

"Because...because...Oh, I don't know. We just can't," I said, stuttering.

"You can't think of a reason, can you?" he asked, smugly. I felt like slapping him.

"I can think of a reason. It changes everything, that's my reason. Nothing will ever be the same between us, between us and Carly. It throws the balance of our trio out of whack," I said, trying to control the insane urge to kiss him again. Man, I'm acting bipolar. One minute I want to kiss him, then slap him, then kiss him again.

"What if we've always been out of balance, and us being together is the balance?" Freddie asked. I looked at him. Why does he have to say things like that? It makes me want to say he's right and we'll be together forever.

I felt fear inside of me as something else crossed my mind. I decided to tell Freddie. "If we do get together, then break up, what if we're never friends again?' I asked.

Freddie sighed and I could tell he was thinking about the same thing. His expression then became determined. "Sam, I promise you if that happens, we'll still be best friends. Nothing will change. Everything will go back to normal."

I sighed. "I don't think that's possible."

"We're Sam and Freddie. How can that not be possible?' he said, and he smiled at me.

I grinned. "Okay, maybe you're right."

"I am right." he said, "Now where were we?" He started to lean towards me again, but I pushed him back. I wasn't making it that easy for him.

"You have to ask me," I stated.

"Ask you what?" he asked. For someone as smart as him, he could really be stupid sometimes.

"To be your girlfriend," I said, exasperated. I rolled my eyes as an added effect.

"Oh, yeah," he said, and he got that little spark in his eyes. He only got that when he had an idea.

He pulled me up and dragged me out into the water. He grabbed my hands. "Samantha Puckett, will you please be my girlfriend?"

I smirked. "Only because you said please." Then I dunked him underwater.

OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

Freddie and I were sitting on the beach, and his arms were wrapped around my shoulders. We were watching the sun go down. We still hadn't seen anyone out here. I sighed contentedly. Fredward Benson was my boyfriend. It still hadn't fully sunken in yet. I never would have guessed that when we left on this trip.

"Sam, I can't believe this," he said, and I turned around and looked at him.

"I know. Neither can I," I responded, and we kissed again.

He brushed my hair out of my face. "When do you plan on telling Carly?" he asked.

"Why don't you tell her..." I suggested. He smiled.

"She's going to freak out, isn't she?" Freddie asked and we both laughed.

"I'll be sure to hold the phone away from my ear when I tell her. She's definitely going to scream," I said.

"Here," Freddie said, pulling his PearPhone out of his pocket. "Tell her right now."

I decided to distract him by kissing him. I preferred not to explain to anyone what was going on with me and Freddie to anyone. It could be our little secret. He kissed back for a minute, but then seemed to realize what I was doing. "Sam, are you going to kiss me now when you want something?"

"Yes, yes I will," I said, and he stared at me until I begrudgingly took the phone. "Fine."

I dialed Carly's number and it only rang a couple times before she answered. "Hey Freddie, how's the trip going?" she asked.

"Actually it's Sam," I said, nervously. Even over the phone, Carly could tell something was up. She knew me that well.

"What's wrong Sam? Did you get arrested again?" she asked, in that worried tone of hers.

"No, nothing like that," I said. "I just have to tell you something."

"Tell me what?" Carly asked.

"Freddie and I are..." I said, trailing off.

"You and Freddie are what?" she asked.

"We're dating," I said quickly.

Carly gasped and then let out a scream that would've not only scared most small children, but adults too. "When did this happen?"

"About a hour ago," I said and Carly squealed this time.

"Yes! I've always hoped..." she said happily.

"You have?" I asked, surprised.

"Yeah, at first I thought the idea of my two best friends dating was weird, but then I started to love it," she said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes really. Sam, I have to go. Spencer caught his fishing pole on fire. Have fun on your trip," she said, and I heard the phone click. She hung up.

"Carly said..." I said, but Freddie interrupted me.

"Don't worry. She talked so loud, I heard the whole thing," he said, smirking.

"Oh no," I said, remembering something.

"What?" he asked nervously.

"We still have to tell your mother."

A/N: What do you think of this development? Do you think they should keep dating? Thank you so much for reading and please review to tell me your thoughts. :)
