Chapter 20

Sam POV

I grabbed my coat and headed for the door. Before I got there Alice jumped in front of me and put her hands on my shoulders.

"Sam you can't do this!" She shouted at me.

"Why not?" I said while pushing her hands off of me.

"Because he loves someone else." She said. "Sam, he still loves you but you left him and he didn't come after you, doesn't that mean something?" I knew she was right but I didn't want to admit anything. I just looked at her and let out a huge breath. I started to turn to sit back on the stool when she talked again, "Do you really love him?"

"More than anything." I mumbled. I was too depressed to say it loudly.

"Then let's go. Together." She said smiling. My head shot up and I ran over to her.

"What about him loving someone else?"

"Sam, you love him more than any girl on the planet. He has to love you back. Now we need to get moving, together. We're in this together." She said smiling. I grabbed my jacket and she drove us to the airport. When we got there we looked at all the flights and she said, "Sam, where are we going anyway?" I smiled because I knew exactly where they were.

"Barcelona." We quickly scanned the list of flights and there was one flight to Spain. "Come on! We have to get it before it sells out!" We literally ran to the flight counter and asked out of breath for two tickets on the flight.

"Sure, here you are." She said. She handed the flight tickets over to me and we quickly went to the terminal. There was still 3 hours before our flight so I went and found a computer to see how far Madrid was from Barcelona.

"Well how far is it away?" Alice asked me.

"Oh no. It's 300 miles away."

"Don't panic, we'll figure something out, just relax." She said. We continued to wait until the plane boarded and we went to our seats. I was at the window seat and Alice was next to me.

It was such a long flight that when we landed I was asleep so when Alice woke me up my hair was a mess. When we got off we went to the flight counter to see if there were any flights to Barcelona. There were 2 flights. I was so happy. We ran once again to the flight counter and asked for two tickets.

"I'm sorry ma'am, the Barcelona area is experiencing severe weather and the flights have been canceled."

"No they can't be! I have to get to Barcelona!" I said jumping over the counter and pulling her collar towards me. Alice grabbed my waist and three security guards pulled me off of her and carried me outside.

"Good going. Now how are we going to get to Barcelona?" Alice mocked at me. A Spanish man came over to us who looked about a couple years older than us and in his Spanish accent asked,

"Did you say you need to get to Barcelona?"

"Yeah, she needs to get there, like now." Alice said staring at the man.

"I was on my way there now. I could give you all a ride." He said smiling.

"Sure let's go!" I said. When I started to follow him Alice pulled on my arm.

"Sam what if he is like a creeper."

"Come on." I said grabbing her arm and following the man into his car. I got into the passenger seat and Alice got in the back. "I'm Sam, this is Alice."

"I am Roberto. But you can call me Bert." He started the car and began to drive.

"Not to be pushy or anything but how long does it take to get to Barcelona from here?" I asked him.

"About 6 hours."

"Ugh. I need to get there sooner." I mumbled to myself.

"You did not let me finish. 6 hours for a normal person, but the speed I drive about 3." He said laughing. Thank you lord. I needed a fast driver. I thought to myself. We had been driving for about 2 hours at like 110 miles per hour when he realized something.

"Wait a minute, your Samantha Puckett for the Bachelor."

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Well, I actually live in America. I am going to Barcelona to visit my family. But I watch the show a lot. I live in Nashville, Tennessee. Where are you two from?" He asked us.

"I'm from Seattle and she's from Crowley Corners." I said.

"Actually Crowley Corners is right outside Nashville. What a coincidence." Alice said laughing. After Alice said that it started pouring rain. So hard we could barely see the road. Luckily we only had about one more hour to go. Alice and I sat quietly having small conversations about random things but Alice was talking to Bert more than me, it seemed liked they were getting along great. It was about 5o'clock when we got to Barcelona. I knew they were in Barcelona but I didn't know exactly where.

"Bert, where is a really pretty monument here?"

"Umm, Park Güell is a very famous photographic location. I read online that it is closed today for a special occasion." That's it. It has to be. "But where it is, I cannot drive you. You will have to walk."

"Where is it?" I snapped back.

"You see that building over there?" He pointed to a beautiful stone building about 2 miles away.

"Yeah."

"That's it" He said.

"Thank you. Alice stay with him, I'm going to run." I said running towards the building. It was still raining so there weren't many people on the street. My hair was dripping with rain water but I didn't care, I had to get to Freddie. I ran up steep staircases, through alleys and over hills until I saw the staircase leading up to the building. It looked like a temple. At the bottom of the steps there were barriers and security guards, the producer and Chris Harrison. I ran up to them but one of the guards stopped me. They were all under pop up tents.

"Sorry little missy you can't go up there." He said stopping me.

"I have to, the man I love is up there I need to tell him." I said trying once more.

"I don't want to have to call the police on you." He said once more.

"And I didn't want to have to do this." I said doing my flip move on him. The other guard came up and I did the same thing to him. After they were both on the ground I ran as fast as I could up the steps. When I got to the top I saw Freddie in a tux holding Mandy's hands.

"Cassidy, I love you, I think you are a great, caring, sensitive person, who I would love to spend the rest of my life with." When I heard this I was so disappointed. "But there is someone who I love more." My head shot up at this comment and that's when Cassidy saw me.

"SAM?" She said with tears in her eyes. Freddie spun himself around and smiled huge. He ran up to me even though it was pouring rain and kissed me.

"Samantha Puckett, I love you more than anything in the world. I would do anything for you. I want to cherish you for the rest of our lives. I want to grow old with you." He said kissing me again. I didn't know what to say so I said,

"Back at ya." I smiled, so did he.

"Will you marry me?"

"No." I smiled. "I was totally kidding. Of course!" I said laughing and having him kiss me again.

"Once again a memorable moment in the rain." He said.

"And you know what, I love rain." And he kissed me once more.
