Soooo in the last chapter, there were viewers who were uncomfortable with how the setting was prepared when Sam came to see Freddie at Subway and wanted to talk to him while there were people listening to them.

And I just want to say that I was laughing af because that was the point of the whole scene. If you guys DON'T like it... then I don't know what to tell you because that's how iBed Buddies is gonna be with the whole scene.

So while I'm laughing, here's chapter 43 ^_^

chapter forty-three

"I'm in love with you..."

Freddie's lips agape as he looks confused slash hurt at the same time with his brown eyes staring at my blue ones. As we're staring at each other intensely, I felt my heart beating faster than it could go while my hands are shaking and my lips quivering.

This is terrible...

What is he thinking about? Was this a good idea of me saying this now? Did he change his input on me? How does his feel? I'll never get these answers, but they're making me feel so senseless I want the floor to open and have me fall underground not wanting to be in this situation anymore.

Okay... I have to come clean in order to save myself from running out of this shop and not have Carly stop me.

"I-I'm in love with you, Freddie," I said lightly.

His face remains in a hurt expression as he stares at me very carefully. He's probably thinking if I'm making this up but I would never do that in a million years. I know what my gut's been telling me for months now and I finally slipped it out of my tongue as I said it to the person who was meant to hear it.

Freddie Benson is the person I'm in love with, and that's not going to change.

"And I'm not making this up or anything, I truly mean it. I finally figured out what those feelings were and I don't feel trapped anymore because I know." I rubbed behind my neck as I feel nervous and let it slide on my thigh. "I know I might sound stupid because of everything that's happened, but I want to change that and talk about this because I want you to know how I feel."

I intertwine my fingers together rubbing my thumb on my knuckles to calm my nerves. As I sense the strangers behind me plus Carly watching me talk all this time is making me feel clammy on my hands because of the nerves, but I'm not going to let that stop me.

"Freddie, you know that I care about you, so much. And I don't want anything or anyone to hurt you again like what I did. It must feel terrible having to think someone you care about is going end up leaving you like your dad did, but I don't want you to be upset or blame yourself because of it. Your father left because he was selfish... and a bastard,"

Freddie looks at me as his eyes glisten, shoving his hands in his back pockets trying to meet my gaze.

"I know you're still upset over that... and it's okay to be. But I don't want you to ever think that I would leave you. I will always be by your side like I've been doing for years," I laughed softly trying to lighten the mood, but it didn't help as I feel tears start to form in my eyes. "Nothing would keep me away from you... nothing would make me stop loving you... just nothing." I croaked, running my hand through my hair.

I feel my speech already giving up on me but I had to keep going, I'm not done with what I have to say. Come on, Sam, be strong and fight the devil tears. "I want to make you happy and never want to hurt you again... the reason why I didn't want to fall in love was that I thought you would end up hurting me like all the guys did in my life..." I hiccupped feeling tears pour out of my eyes as I try to wipe them away.

"Sam... you know I would never do that to you..." Freddie whispered.

"I... I know that now. I do. I just don't want to be disappointed because you're my best friend and I love you deeply. You're not just my best friend, you're my everything. All those times, when I kept denying if this was true was because I was scared falling for my best friend and you're way too good for me. I don't deserve you, Freddie. You could have any girl you want..." My eyes are starting to sting while more tears escape from my eyes uncontrollably.

"Freddie, I love you... and I'll say it a million times because it's true. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..." I whispered. He stares at me as a small grin appears on his lips remembering what he told me with his confession. "I love you so much that it's scary and I don't know how to control my emotions with you. I don't care what anyone thinks about me liking you, even the people here! I don't care what they think about me saying this in public. I just want to be with you. And I don't care about that stupid contract I made months ago, I don't care about it anymore." I stopped, seeing Freddie stare at me dumbfounded.

I shoved my hand into my dress pocket and pulled out a piece of paper that used to be our agreement of no drama between us, no developing feelings, and just have sex in any form. The Fuck Buddy Contract.

I showed the paper to Freddie, and he stares at it shifting his eyes back and forth to me and the paper. "I don't care about this anymore... it's irrelevant." I held the center of the paper with my fingers and started to tear the white paper in the middle, getting the famous rip sound.

Freddie's eyes have grown wide as he sees me shred the paper multiple times, leaving the paper scattered on the tiled floor. I heard gasps behind me and felt my blood boil trying so hard not to punch every single one of them in the face.

After leaving the ripped up contract on the ground, I looked back at Freddie and tried to continue what I was saying. "Screw the contract and screw everything I did to you. You told me to figure out what I wanted and I finally figured it out... you. I want you Fredward Benson..." I sighed, wiping tears away from my strained cheeks. "You probably don't forgive me and I understand if you don't, but I don't want to lose you because of this and want to be friends if you're up for it." I pleaded feeling my hands shaking near my thighs and my palms sweating.

Freddie just stares at me with his eyes shimmering and his eyebrows furrowed.

What felt like years, Freddie lifted his hand up and brought out his index and middle fingers together, motioning me to come closer to him. "Come here."

My heart leaped while taking short steps closer to his direction. As I stop one inch in front of him, he looks down at me while he raises his hands and cups my face gently, wiping my tears away with his thumbs. His hands feel so soft I closed my eyes from the feeling and never want him to stop the touch.

I look up at him seeing his brown eyes filled with emotions as he stares down at my sad eyes. He shows a small smile on his lips as he sighed opening his mouth. "Your speech was so fucking corny." He whispered.

I laughed softly knowing what I confessed was corny but what I said was completely one hundred percent true and I never regret saying them. It does feel like I'm in a movie but this is reality, and I never thought this moment would happen and how much I had to go through just to get to this checkpoint. The next step is to know what he has to say, it can be positive or it can be negative. I just hope at the end we can still be friends for a long time.

Freddie stares at me, his eyes shifting in fast speed at my eyes and exhaled sincerely. "But I forgive you."

It felt like my world has changed just by his sentence. He forgives me... I can't believe he forgives me. I couldn't help but let the tears fall out of my eyes with joy, knowing he's not mad at me anymore.

He leans closer to my face as his nose touches mine, without warning, he presses his lips against mine gently, me missing his remarkable lips. The kiss is not rough, it's soft and gentle like the night he told me he loved me and we kissed afterward. I missed his soft - moist lips as our lips are moving in sync, feeling the shiver going down my spine.

I could've sworn I heard "aww's" around us but I couldn't be sure because all I could think about is Freddie being here with me and how he forgave me after hurting him and kissing again like old times. But this time, it's out of love. I'm in love with this man and I'm not taking it back.

I wrap my arms around his neck and Freddie wraps his around my torso, lifting me up in the air holding me as our lips don't disconnect. I kiss him with every emotion I have kept in for months showing him how much I love him and he does the same with how much passion he's putting in the kiss.

I felt a tear slide down near my mouth making me pull away from him. I realized the tear was mine as I'm still emotional not believing this is happening. Freddie fluttered his eyes open and aims his eyes at me smiling handsomely.

Oh how I missed his smile.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." I whispered on his lips.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. I know you didn't mean to do it. I'm just happy you came along." He smirked and I giggled sniffling back my tears. I'm so glad things are going back to normal.

"Awh yeah, you get that ass, Freddie!"

Someone behind Freddie cheered out loud as Freddie and I both looked behind him seeing Gibby clapping his hands viciously with a big smile on his face. "Woo! Tap that ass!"

Freddie rolled his eyes and I laughed seeing humor in this. "Gibby is such an idiot." He muttered. Freddie looks back at me and his eyes show a familiar sparkle that I've seen so many times. The sparkle is back and I smiled as I look at them reunited again. "Do you want to leave? I just want to be with you right now..." he whispered.

My heart was beating again knowing what he wants to do, and I want nothing else but to spend time with him. I want to be with him no matter what we're doing.

I nodded my head at his question and he smiled, putting me back down with my feet touching the ground and pulls his arms away from my torso. He turned around and looked at Gibby. "Gib, take cover for me, alright?" He said as he takes off his apron and cap, throwing them over the sandwich station, Gibby catching them.

"You got it, boy!" He winked and gave Freddie a thumbs up.

Freddie turns back at me and smirked. "Let's go."

"Okay." I smiled, and he slipped his hand to my fingers, intertwining our fingers together. We walk towards the front door as everyone in the shop stares at us leaving with extended eyes. Carly was still standing at the front door with a big smile on her face and her hands clapping as if she saw a two-hour concert.

"Oh my god, you made me tear up to pieces!" She cheered quietly as I let out a chuckle.

"Yeah, I bet." I shoved my hand in my other dress pocket and pulled out my car keys extending them to Carly. "You can drive my car back to my place, I'm gonna go with Freddie."

She stares at me with a devilish smirk and lifts her hand, taking the keys from my hand. "Okay... don't hurt yourselves when you get home, you cuties." She smirked with her eyes narrowed giving me the creeps because she knows what we're going to do.

"Yeah, bye." I tugged Freddie's hand and dragged him to the door, opening it and leaving the shop. We walk to his car in the employee parking area getting ready to go home and be with the guy I used to have sex with for fun.

Now it's something more.

The End

Oh my gosh, I'm just kidding! XD
