~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sam's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I spent the next few days at Carly's, I felt like such a burden.
She and Spencer kept on insisting that it was okay, but I still wasn't sure.
The morning sickness was UNBEARABLE! I'm also starting to have these weird cravings… the other day at lunch I had Mac and Cheese instead of ham!
Anyways…Carly and Spence insisted it was ok, they just felt upset that I was 'condemned to the couch' as they put it.
I was sitting out on the fire escape, watching the cars pass by. 'Jingle Bells' was playing in the background and I just relaxed to the rhythm.
I had been coming out here a lot lately just to relax, just to think.
I had so much on my mind lately…
It was chilly outside, but I bundled up, the wind blew in my hair; I could feel the cold against my cheeks.
"Hey."
It was his voice; I turned around to look at him.
"Hey." I replied awkwardly. I wasn't ready to see him. It was so weird.
"So, um, how are you feeling…?" He asked, glancing at my stomach.
"Fine at the moment, thankfully. But it hasn't exactly been a pleasant week."
This was going smoothly so far…I guess.
"I uh-" he rubbed the back of his neck "I'm sorry."
I raised an eyebrow, " Why are you apologizing?" I asked.
He motioned towards my stomach, "It's kind of my fault."
I shook my head no, turning in toward the building, towards the warmth.
"It's not your fault Benson, you didn't know the punch was spiked."
He nodded, and then there was silence.
"I should head back inside." He told me, turning around.
"Wait!" I stopped him, I looked at him, "do you ever think about it… what happened…between us and-"
He shushed me, and then looked away. "Sometimes, I guess. I don't remember that much. I just remember you saying we should do it… and we were uh, kissing."
Well this was kind of awkward…
"Um, don't worry. I don't remember that much either…"
I never noticed how brown his eyes were, they were so…deep.
Wait, what?
We were in the hallway between his and Carly's apartments. Both his mom and Spencer had put out holiday decorations already.
A green, red and gold wreath hung from Carly's apartment door. Both Christmas tree and Menorah stickers were on Freddie's door, as it turns out 'Mike' was Jewish, so Freddie was Christian and Jewish.
(Mostly Jewish.)
There were lights around both the doors, and garland on the ceiling, and… mistletoe, right above our heads.
He watched my gaze then looked up. "Oh." He said, as if a response to the silence.
I knew we weren't going to kiss, I mean that would be so weird, and… are we walking closer together?
Were our arms kind of…intertwined? Were we leaning closer?
That's when my cell phone went off. We immediately broke apart.
"Well."
"I-uh"
"My phone"
"Yeah you should um."
The call was from Carly, she told me to meet her in the iCarly room.
From there she led me to the smaller room behind it, the one we used for backstage stuff.
She and Spencer told me to close my eyes, I heard the door open and they led me into the room. "And, open your eyes!" Carly cheerfully told me.
"Voilà! Spencer exclaimed as I looked around, I was confused for a second.
Then I put two and two together, this was my room!
I gasped and looked at Carly, then at Spencer. Oh my god this was a dream come true!
"Thank, thank you so much!" Tears of joy were streaming down my face as I pulled them both in for a hug.
It all made sense now. The questions Spencer asked tied in perfectly with the room and it's décor. The walls were orange, with dark blue polka dots. There was a plain wooden bed in one corner, a lamp in another. There was a desk on the side of the wall and the closet had black paint on it with neon splats all over.
It was like my dream room!
"But- but, what about all the legal stuff?"
"Taken care of," Spencer replied, "I am now your legal guardian!
~~~~~~~~~About an hour later~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I decided to head back out to see if Freddie was still there, he was.
This weird song was blasting from the speakers, the man sung in a deep voice.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
He took a deep breath like he was about to do something daring.
"Waiting for you… So I could do this."
He pulled me in closer and- holy crapload! He was kissing me.
It took me a second to respond, his eyes were closed, his hands on my back, his lips soft. When I finally regained control of my self I wrapped my arms around his neck, closed my eyes and moved my lips in rhythm with his
The song in the background zoned out with a deep and jazzy "Merry Christmas, to YOU-" All was well.
So… whadyaa think?
I really hope you guys liked it; I had been planning that kiss scene for a long time!
But if you thought that chapter needed improvement, constructive criticism is still appreciated!
