I sat down next to her. She turned to me and opened her mouth to speakbut I spoke first,
'Look, I haven't been myself the last couple days, because when you were gone, I, um had family problems' There,thatwasn'tlying.She raised an eyebrow at me,
'What happened?' she tested. She thought I was lying,
'I don't want to talk about it' I said, 'Freddie, helped and I'm over it now' I said,
'You're ok now?' she asked. I nodded,
'Yeah, fine' I said. She smiled,
'In that case,' she said, 'Do you wanna go get Freddie and we'll go get a smoothie?' she asked, 'He's the only one with a car' she said, smiling. I laughed once,
'Yeah, sure but I don't know if Freddie will be done with his work…' I said, trailing off and heading to the door. I walked into Freddie's apartment and went into his room. I opened the door to see him asleep at the desk. I smirked and deliberately, slammed the door behind me, loudly. He jumped and woke up,
'Oh, sorry' I said, 'did I wake you?' I asked, sarcastically. He yawned and I walked toward him, 'Carls' wants us to go for a smoothie' I said. He shook his head,
'I have to get this work done' he said,
'You need a break anyway' I shrugged, he shook his head,
'Babe, I really can't' he said,
'Yeah, you can' I said, pulling him up, he groaned,
'Fine' he said, he grabbed his keys and his wallet and I dragged him out the door. I opened the door to Carly's apartment and called,
'Carls! Freddie's here!' Freddie rolled is eyes at me and I hit him lightly on the shoulder. We heard Carly thumping the stairs whilst she was coming down. She appeared with her coat in hand,
'Come on then' she said, skipping past us and opening the door. We turned and followed her into Freddie's car.
Once we got to Groovie smoothie, I found a table whilst Freddie paid for my smoothie. I looked up when I saw someone sit opposite me. I looked up and saw James sitting opposite me, I rolled my eyes,
'What?' I said, rudely.
'Whoa, not very nice' he said. I raised my eyebrow,
'What do you want?' I asked,
'You' he said. I sighed,
'Dude!' I shouted, 'I said no! And you're not going to change my mind, so just fuck off!' I said, getting angry,
'Oh, feisty' he said, smirking. Ohmygod,isthisguyforreal?
'Just leave' I said. He stayed put, 'my boyfriend's over there' I said. He looked to where I gestured to and scoffed,
'I can't believe he'syourboyfriend' he said. I glared at him, and narrowed my eyes,
'Go away' I spat through my teeth/ He looked over to see Freddie and Carly walking over to our table,
'Fine, but I'll be back' he said and I rolled my eyes. Just as he left, Freddie and Carly sat down,
'Who was that?' Freddie asked, kissing me on the cheek and putting my smoothie down on the table in front of me,
'Just some guy from our school' I shrugged,
FPOV
'Just some guy from our school' she shrugged, taking a sip of her smoothie,
'What did he want?' I asked,
'The notes for science class' she answered,
'You don't take notes' I said,
'that's what I told him!' she exclaimed, 'I keep telling him that, but he won't take no for an answer'
she said, looking down. I looked at Carly and she shrugged. She was getting too worked up about this; usually she wouldn't give a shit. It had to be something else. I gave Carly a look that said, 'talk to her' I stood up and grabbed my coat,
'Ok, ladies well, I have to get my work done' I said. I reached into my wallet and grabbed 20 dollars. I gave it to Sam, 'go shopping or something, I'll pick you up in an hour' I said. She looked at me Blankley. I walked out wanting to give them time to talk.
SPOV
Whatthehell?Hejustleft?Andgaveme20bucks?NotthatI'mcomplaining…
'So, who was that guy?'Carls asked me. I shrugged,
'Just some guy' I replied. She raised an eyebrow at me, questioning me, 'Ok, it's a guy that I met in detention and he asked me out, I said no but he won't leave me alone' I said, so fast it came out as a mumble, but apparently she was able to make it out,
'Y'know, Freddie's gonna kill that guy, right?' she asked. I smiled and nodded,
'That's why I'm not telling him' I replied, 'I can handle it'
'Ok, well, you're gonna have to tell him, if this guy starts to like, stalk you or something' she said, jokingly. I laughed once and stood up,
'Come on, let's go shopping' I said, sarcastically,
We were on the bus on the way to the mall and we were talking about Carly and Ryan when the bus stopped at a stop. I looked over to see James stepping onto the bus. I rolled my eyes, isthisguystalkingmenow? He looked over at us, he acted surprised and walked toward us,
'Carls, do nottalk to him' I said, under my breath,
'To who?'
He looked over in our direction. He acted surprised to see us there, and headed over to us,
'Don't talk to him' I said, under my breath to Carly. She looked around,
'Who?' she asked, when her eyes landed on James, 'Sam, you have to talk to Freddie' she said quietly, turning to me. I shook my head;
'I can handle it' I reassured her, 'just don't talk, ok?' He sat on the chair in front of us,
'Hey, Sam' He looked at Carly, ignored her and turned back to me. I turned my head to the window, avoiding his gaze, 'What? You're not talking to me, now?' he asked. I didn't answer. He reached over and grabbed my chin with two fingers and turned my head to him. I slapped his hand away and pushed him back,
'Fuck off' I said, angrily, looking in a different direction,
'oh, not very nice' I ignored him. He tried to turn my head again and I refused slapping his hand away,
'Keep your hands to yourself' I spat through my teeth,
'Come on, babe' he said, 'what's wrong?' he asked. My eyes flashed up to him,
'Don't call me that' I said, sternly, onlyFreddiecancallmethatandstillgetawaywithhislife, I thought,
'You love it' he said, winking. I did an overacted motion of me gagging. He laughed,
'What's wrong?' he asked, again,
'You!' I replied, 'Get lost' I said again. He opened his mouth to say something, when the bus stopped at the mall. I stood up and grabbed Carly's hand,
'Come on, Carls' I said, breaking her out of her trance, 'This is our stop' I said, pulling her down the aisle,
'Really? This is my stop too' James said, with fake surprise. I rolled my eyes,
'Weird how that turned out' I muttered under my breath, pulling Carly out the door. James followed us out,
'So, what are you ladies going to do?' he asked. I opened my mouth to tell him to bugger off but Carly broke out of her trance (probably concentrating on not talking) and spoke for the first time since he'd gotten on the bus,
'Just shopping!' she shouted. I rolled my eyes, waytogo,CarlsI thought. James backed away a bit from Carly's sudden outburst, but then smiled,
'Well, I'll come with you then' he said,
'No, sorry three's a crowd' I said quickly and pulled Carly into the mall with me. After we'd been in a few shops to confuse James, we'd lost him. We were on the escalator when Carly turned to me,
'Sam, that guys really scaring me now' she said,
'Carl's you've known him for like, a day!' I exclaimed,
'I know, but he keeps showing up' she said, 'it's pretty weird' she said, I shrugged,
'I can handle it' I said again,
'Sam, are you sure? Because Freddie can-'
'I can handle it, ok?' I shouted at her,
'Ok' she mumbled.
We were waiting outside the mall for Freddie to come pick us up. Carly was trying to balance out her 8 shopping bags, whilst I had none. We were talking about school and the homework Brigg's had given us (even though I hadn't done it) when I felt the presence of someone behind me. Oh,pleasedon'tletitbe-
'Funny, how we keep running into each other, isn't it?' a voice asked from behind me. I turned around to see James,
'What do you want?' I asked, annoyed,
'You' he said. Just at that point, Freddie pulled up in his car to pick us up. I turned to Carly,
'I'll be there in a minute, don't let Freddie come out' I said, and turned back to James,
'Look, I don't know what you want, or how you intend to get it, but I'm telling you now, go find some other girl, because I am not to be messed with' I stepped closed to him, intimidating him, but it didn't really work because he was taller than me,
'I like 'em feisty' he said and I glared at him, 'You can tell me that, but, let me tell you this, I want you, and I'm gonna have you, with or without your douchbag of a boyfriend' he said, nodding to the car. Thatdoesit. I pulled my hand back and slapped him,
'Don't you ever talk about him that way' I hissed at him. He touched his cheek and smiled,
'Someone's into S&M' he said. I gasped and let my mouth fly open,
'You're such a freak!' I shouted at him, and headed toward the car. I saw Freddie getting out and shutting the door,
'No, Freddie we're going now' I said, hopping in the front seat. I looked through the window on Freddie's side to see him glaring at James, and then sitting back in his seat. None of us said anything the whole ride home. When we got to the Bushwell plaza we walked in silence to Carly's apartment. She opened the door and turned to us,
'Are you guys coming in?' she asked. I was about to say something when Freddie spoke first,
'No, we might later' He said, 'I have to talk to Samantha' he said. Uhoh,I thought heneverusedmyfullname.Crap,hemustbeangry. He opened the door and I followed him in. I walked into his bedroom while he closed the door. I sat on the bed, waiting for him to come in. The door eventually creaked open, revealing Freddie. He sat down on the bed next to me,
'So,' he started, 'What's the deal with this guy?' he asked. I shrugged,
'Nothing I can't handle' I said,
'Sam, you need to tell me if he's harassing you' I shook my head,
'He's not' I lied. I couldn't tell him about this because he'd think I couldn't handle it and with the whole mum and Pete thing, I already showed him enough weakness for a lifetime,
'Sam, what did he say to you that made you slap him?' he asked. I smiled, remembering. My phone rang, just as I was about to reply. I looked at the screen; it was alerting me I had a text from Carly,
To: Sam
From: Carls
Have you asked him yet?
Asked him what? Oh right,
'We're staying at Carly's' I said,
'What? Tonight?' he asked,
'Yeah,' I answered, 'Oh, and the next couple months' I added, stepping out the bedroom and into the lounge. I sat on the couch and turned to see him following me out, and walking toward the couch,
'What did you say?' he asked, sitting on the couch next to me,
'I said I'm gonna be living at Carly's for the next couple months and you've got an open invitation to join me' I said, kissing him. I pulled away and looked at him for a response,
'So, you're not gonna be staying here anymore?' he asked,
'What did you expect?' I asked, 'I'm not gonna live here while crazy is' I said, 'So, you coming or what?' I asked,
'Sam, I don't think Spencer's gonna want you living there' Hewastryingtogetmetostay...I smiled,
'Wrong, Spencer's going to some art thing in New York' I smirked,
'Carls wants us both to go over, but if you're gonna make me go on my own, that's fine' I leant over and straddled his lap, 'You're just gonna have to live without this' I pressed my lips to his and kissed him. I didn't wait for him to respond, I forced my tongue in his mouth. He slipped his arms around me and kissed me back, when he got over the shock of my attacking him. My hands tangled in his hair. We made out on the couch for about ten minutes, before I finally pulled back. I realized I was lying on the couch with Freddie on top of me,
'So?' I asked. He sighed,
'Fine' he gave in, I smirked, 'but only for a couple months right?' he asked, 'and I can leave anytime I want?' he asked, I nodded,
'Unless I keep you there' I whispered into his ear and nibbled on the lobe. He groaned, and slammed his hips in to mine. I gasped at the sudden contact and kissed his lips, hard. He kissed back and his hands slipped under my top. His hands reached up to my bra strap and then back to the front of my shirt. He was about to undo the buttons on my shirt when my phone rang. I pulled away from kissing Freddie to look at my phone. He refused to lose contact and started kissing my neck. I held my phone above his shoulder so I could see. I had a text,
To: Sam
From: Carls
Haveyouaskedhim?Didhesayyesorno?Areyoustillstayingover?Comeover!
I rolled my eyes and pushed Freddie off me. He sat back on the couch sighing,
'I need to go over to Carly's' I said, walking toward the door. He pulled me back by my wrists and pulled me into him and kissed me. That kiss soon turned into a full blown make out session. I didn't realise how long we had been kissing for until I looked at the clock, over Freddie's shoulder. Ok,Carlyhadaskedmetogoovertherehalfanhourago...I stood up straight and put my shirt back on (which had managed to find its way off during our make out session) and headed toward the door,
'Wait, I'm coming to' Freddie called, grabbing my hand. Usually, I'd pull away, but I figured because the man was living with two girls for the next couple months, he deserved it. He intertwined our fingers as we walked. Freddie reached out to know Carly's door. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow. I pushed the door open and pulled Freddie in.
CPOV
I looked up from my magazine when I heard the door slam. Sam and Freddie came in,
'Sam? I texted you 40 minutes ago, and you didn't reply, where were you doing?' I asked. I then looked at the pair properly. Both their hair was messed up, Freddie's shirt was untucked and done up with the wrong buttons, and Sam's lip gloss was smudged. They both smirked, 'actually don't tell me, I don't wanna know!' I said, covering my ears. Sam laughed,
'Freddie said he'd stay with us' she shouted so I would hear. I smiled,
'That's great' I said, 'So, I'm thinking we all go out tonight' I said, 'You know? To celebrate you moving in and all that junk?' I asked,
'Where?' Freddie asked,
'This new bar just opened down the street' I said, 'Apparently, they let anyone in, and when you order a drink, they don't even ask for ID'
'Great, I'm in' Sam said, 'I need a drink'
'I don't know...' Freddie said,
'Oh, come on Freddie' Sam whined, 'please?' she asked. Freddie looked like he was thinking about it. She stretched up on her toes and whispered something in his ear. He smirked,
'Fine' he gave in,
'yes!' Sam exclaimed. He glared at her. I smiled.

'Great, I'm in' I told her, 'I need a drink'
'I don't know...' Freddie trailed off,
'Oh, come on Freddie' I whined, 'please?' Freddie went into his thinking face. I stretched up on my toes and whispered, 'Please?' I whispered, and licked m y lips so he could hear, and then I licked up his ear and nibbled his ear. He smirked,
'Fine' he gave in,
'yes!' I shouted. He glared at me and I smiled.

'Oh, come on Freddie' Sam whined at me, 'please?' She stretched up to my ear and whispered, 'Please?' She licked her lips so I could hear. She then licked up my ear and nibbled the lobe. Shit.Iloveditwhenshedidthat.I looked at her and gave in,
'Fine' I sighed,
'yes!' She shouted. I glared at her and she smiled back,
'Yay!' Carly shouted, while jumping up and down, 'go get changed' she said,
'What's wrong with what I'm wearing?' Sam asked, looking at her clothes,
'Egh' Carly replied, hopping up the stairs, 'See you back here in an hour!' she called, over her shoulder. I turned to Sam and she was looking over her clothes,
'I think you look pretty hot' I whispered in her ear, She smiled,
'You're just saying that too get lucky' she said,
'I already did' I said kissing her, referring to the fact that I was lucky I had her,
'Oh my god, that was cheesy' she said. I smiled,
'So, we have an hour' I started, 'What could we do in a whole hour?' I asked. Sam laughed,
'get changed' she replied,
'Does that mean I get to undress you?' I asked, smirking,
'You have to cheesiest lines Benson' she replied taking my hand and walking out the door.
