"how do I convince Sam I want her to play with me down there, thanks for the grilled cheese by the way" says Carly wrapped in a blanket
"Carly if I knew the answer to how girls worked I'd have had a steady girlfriend already, now that you understand what her term means use it, one question though, do you love me" says Freddie
"what kind of question is that, I willingly talked to you while I was naked in my own bed and I didn't try and cover anything up, I don't let just anyone see me that way" says Carly
"I need a yes or no, for my own sake" says Freddie
"yes, but you need to understand with me the feelings start soft, since I was in Italy my feelings for you started to disappear while my need for Sam only grew, I want this to work but I need to warm up to the idea of seeing buff Freddie naked in bed with me, in my mind you're still this muscle-less geek who everyone makes fun of, Sam hasn't changed, you have, I'm saying this next part so you will write it down so I can sign it, if I initiate a make-out or saucy stuff that's me consenting, if for your own sake you need me to say it verbally please don't be afraid to ask, I don't drink, I don't gamble and I don't smoke so anything I do is of my own free will" says Carly as Freddie writes it down
"does this apply to Sam as well" asks Freddie looking for clarification
"especially her" says Carly
"ok sign here" says Freddie as Carly signs the consent letter and Sam comes out smelling food
"why isn't she cuffed Freddie, we had an agreement remember" says Sam
"and she's not dressed therefore can't hide any sharp objects, her logic not mine" says Freddie
"who wrapped her in the blanket" asks Sam
"he did" says Carly
"now sit, I'm making as many grilled cheese as you want, Jade brought us a bunch of fresh bread" says Freddie as Sam sits down beside Carly
"I love you Carly Shay" says Sam
"I love you both, I'll take two more Freddie, now about the make-outs and the 'I'm warm down south' thing, I'm sorry, I wanted to take it to the next step and have fun in bed too but I didn't understand you wanted it too, stupid me thought you got excited and peed yourself, I was genuinely beginning to be scared you had a medical problem, that's why I left to take care of myself…. well by myself, sometimes I need things explained to me" says Carly
"I'll be more clear next time, to be honest looking back at the timing and phrasing I used I can totally see why you thought what you did, I'm sorry for that, I'm sorry you got blacklisted, that is on me and I will do anything I can to try and fix it" says Sam
"assuming Cat let's me stay here as I can't pay rent now I'd enjoy a little alone time with you actually" says Carly as Freddie sets two fresh grilled cheese on her plate
"I'll take one Freddie, I'm trying to slim down a little" says Sam as Carly eats her food
"a little curvy never hurt anyone Sammy" says Carly
"is that why you've eaten four already and are about to finish your sixth" asks Freddie
"hey I haven't eaten since I read that note leave my weight out of this" says Carly defensively
"Carly I gained nearly fifty pounds at university and I've not slowed down, please don't make me feel bad, he still needs to eat" says Sam
"but you gained it in the places I like…." Pouts Carly
"that's good and all but if I don't feel good in my own skin Carly I'm less likely to have said fun in bed whole heartedly" says Sam
"oh…" says Carly as Freddie gives Sam a special low fat grilled cheese
"this doesn't look the same as Carly's did, why" asks Sam
"it's a special type of grilled cheese, Jade remembered you were self conscious about your weight, she uses this recipe along with exercise to tone her stomach, it's supposed to be some sort of super fat burner that doesn't affect your chest or something, I don't know all I know is she's loaded money wise so she has the option to test all these things out, either way it's your gain Sam" says Freddie as Sam eats the food
"this is actually amazing, how many did she say I was allowed to have, what's my maximum" asks Sam finishing her grilled cheese
"she said three with exercise" says Freddie giving Sam another
"believe me I know what Jade does for exercise most of the time, I should be fine with Carly" says Sam
"that's more than I wanted to know about Jade thanks Samantha" winces Freddie
"hey exercise is exercise Fredward, however she also does water aerobics when the pool is working but it's been iffy for weeks, it was working for about two weeks, something to do with the temperature regulation" says Sam as she kisses Carly
"oh no finish your food first missy" says Carly
"but it's all right there, you'd just have to lose the blanket" reasons Sam
"and it will be there when you're done, my body is only getting warmer, I can only assume the longer you take the better the experience you will get from me" says Carly as she shivers at the thought
"to be honest I kinda want Freddie to watch us have that fun" says Sam as Freddie's jaw drops
"I admit I do like the idea of Freddie being involved but not till I make up for my two dozen mistakes involving you, I want to make love to you twenty four times, then and only then if he wants to watch he can, however I need to make this clear, in no way should he be forced to watch or participate if he does not want to" says Carly
"you know it's things like this that made me walk away, I said want him to watch, nowhere in my wording did I say I wanted to force him to, I only brought it up so he could see what works or doesn't work with us in bed, I didn't want him to feel he had to be at the disadvantage when the time came for him to be involved, to me it felt wrong for us to be in tune knowing what works and for him to be clueless and ruin the mood by doing something wrong of off putting to us when it comes time to get him in bed with us" says Sam
"why do I keep making mistakes, when will it stop" asks Carly as Sam finishes her third grilled cheese
"ok first off the mistakes are cute, usually anyway, did you seriously think we were going to start this new part of our lives and not make mistakes Carly" asks Sam
"ok I'm too warm now, Freddie maybe go see if that temperature thing can be fixed so Jade can do her aerobics thing" says Carly as she drops the blanket and tackles Sam
With Freddie 20 minutes later
"see it looks all weird, it worked fine when I bought the house" says Cat as Freddie looks at the electrical for the pool
"I see the problem, it's an easy fix, seeing as I have time to kill before I'm likely to be allowed back at the apartment I can fix it" says Freddie
"what's it going to cost me" asks Cat
"a few hundred dollars and about an hour of work, I'll order the parts and it should be working by dinner" says Freddie as he orders the parts
"wait what's wrong with the apartment situation, Sam absolutely isn't legally allowed to leave this property for about two months" says Cat nervously
"the Carly problem is solved, Carly misunderstood what 'I'm warm down there' meant, she assumed it meant Sam got excited and peed herself so being all worked up she would go by herself to her room and work herself over till the excitement was dealt with not realizing Sam was hinting at a want for sex after heated make out sessions, which Carly had also wanted, anyway they now understand the issue and Sam worked past it and I assume they're having tons of heat fun, I really don't understand how it works, Sam wanted me to watch them" says Freddie
"honestly Sam had the right idea, being careful as Carly is it would make sense for you to watch and learn what works, Tori didn't implement that with Robbie when that started with him and Julia and believe me he made some pretty bad mistakes, one he shot for the wrong hole and two he didn't think to warm her up first so it ended pretty fast, what was supposed to be a front door rumble ended up being a back door pain fest so by all counts Sam has the right idea, she's attempting to give you a head start on the basics, hell I'd even suggest you handy one off in view of them so they know what you have, but all in time I guess" says Cat as Freddie's phone goes off
"wow the parts are already on their way, I was not expecting them to take the time till near close as they are a local home repair store, I guess I better get to work taking pictures for insurance" says Freddie as Robbie walks over
"need any help" asks Robbie
"actually yes, I need you to take detailed pictures of things I work on for insurance so they can cover the cost" says Freddie
"why" asks Robbie not quite understanding
"because this is way old code wiring and they did it wrong when they built the pool, literally if you were in that pool, even working if you put your hand in the wrong spot you'd be electrocuted" says Freddie
"ok I understand" says Robbie running to go grab the expensive camera as Freddie drains the pool
"you tipped that local business right" asks Cat
"I know your rule, tip twenty-five present of the bill, it was all in the cost I quoted you of a few hundred dollars, the parts came to one-fifty, delivery was fifteen dollars, I tipped them fifty dollars so the total before labor is two-fifteen, what did you tip that local Spanish electrical company that redid the electrical in the building" says Freddie as Robbie returns with the camera and starts taking pictures
"six hundo grand" says Cat
"I'm sorry what…." Asks Freddie dumbfounded
"was that too much, I haven't ever had to tip for a job that big before" asks Cat
"small companies rarely if EVER get tipped that, hell they rarely ever get hired for jobs like that, you guaranteed them a living wage plus profit to reinvest in the business Cat, did you recommend them to anyone else big" says Freddie
"hey they followed the rules I set out, no touching of any personal item of any occupied apartment set or area, they took pictures for my insurance claim, the city inspector was blown away at the quality of the work, he said it was WAY WAY above and beyond code requirements, City hall hasn't been updated to code in years, he showed the city council the pictures of how bad it was and what they did, they were blown away, they got the coveted city hall job that's been open for years" says Cat
"ok Freddie all pre work pictures have been taken, Jade really really wants to use the pool again, as much as she loves making love to us she misses the pool a lot" says Robbie
"TMI dude, though on the subject does that stuff really burn fat like she said it does" asks Freddie
"oh the cheese things, ya, she uses it in anything she would have used cheese or basic non meat protein in and with steady exercise she's dropped twenty pounds in three weeks and maintained it since" says Cat
"do you use it" asks Freddie
"I don't have a weight gain problem like Sam or Jade, I have a weight instability problem, one week it's up four pounds, the next I'm down six, I know it's TMI but neither my sex life nor my exercise routine has changed in the past three years, hell I sat on the couch one month watching movies and eating junk food while my ex was out partying and I actually lost weight, I'm lucky it seems to stay within a range of about twenty pounds either way, lost or gained but still, it's very frustrating" says Cat
