I bruise easily- Natasha Bedingfield
It seemed as though the whole studio froze when my name was said in Freddie's soft voice I turned around shaking, praying to God that he wasn't going to say something stupid and destructible to our "friendship" like I felt he was going to.
The studio fell in to complete silence, I could no longer hear Spencer franticly running around with the fire extinguisher trying to put out his weekly fire, nor could I hear Carly's Chirpy voice trying to grumble about how Spencer's little accident had caught the end of her hair. The only thing I was processing in my head was the feeling of Freddie's breath tickling the back of my neck, telling me he was in close proximity with me and to be aware of how too turn around.
Neither of us paid attention as Carly and Spencer unsuccessfully tried to leave the studio quietly resulting in Spencer tripping over his own feet! I heard Freddie let out a low chuckle as from the sound of things Carly joined her brother on the floor outside the icarly studio after tripping over him!
1 week previously
"Carly will never love you" I said randomly out of the blue while nonchalantly chewing on an apple, Freddie tore his adoring gaze a way from Carly to send a glare my way, I sent him a sweet innocent smile and fluttered my eyelashes like a butterfly at him Man this boy wouldn't know flirting if it were to bite him on the ass.
I then turned my attention back to the magazine I had been previously flicking through until I came to a picture of a cute little monkey;
"Hey dork you didn't tell me you invested in a career in modelling, good on you!" I said to Freddie. Freddie glanced at the picture then leaped up from the sofa.
"Why, Sam? Why?" he asked outraged making extravagant hand gestures, I bit my lip trying to suppress my laughter.
"Why you look like a monkey?" I question pointed towards him furrowing my eyebrows in mock confusions, before putting my hand tenderly on his shoulder " Well Benson, I don't know a lot about biology but genetics do speak for themselves" I said putting on a look of sympathy across my face before walking passed him towards the kitchen.
"No Sam" Freddie stopped me "That's not what I wanted to know."
"Freddie..." Carly whispered in a harsh, warning tone
"No Carly let me say my piece." He said holding his hand up towards Carly but keeping his gaze on me "Sam I wanted to know why your such a mean, ugly ungrateful beast?"
The words ripped through me like a knife, sure we had bickered back and fourth before but he'd never brought my looks into it or mentioned anything that was inevitably true, it was like an unwritten rule.
The tears stung the back of my eyes as the words run through my mind.
"Huh, Sam?" he asked "Why are you such a bi..." he started only to be interrupted by me.
"Because you're so oblivious to anyone but Carly you can't see what is right in front of you!" I screeched trying to get him to shut up Freddie looked at me utterly confused "Maybe just maybe it's because I'm in love with you!" I bellowed before breaking down and crying.
Freddie walks forward to pull me into a hug I looked at him as if he were mad, I wiped my eyes and sniffed stepping backwards from him he stopped abruptly.
"Sam I..." he started
"God Freddie just shut up!" I screamed annoyed with his remaining obliviousness "like pretending that it was me you wanted all along is going to make everything better!" I erupt
"Don't even think about hugging me, a hug isn't going to make anything better!" I whispered huskily "my mum taught me that a long time ago!" I said backing away even more "it's the only thing she ever taught me!" I mumbled laughing bitterly as I pushed past carly and out of the apartment telling her I'd call her later when I heard her meek voice behind me, running out to have rain pleating down on the hood of my navy jacket.
Back to the present (one week ahead!)
Ever since then I had avoided Freddie at all cost. Why was Freddie pushing this? He hadn't left me alone since my little confession it was clear he was confused and wanted answers but at the moment I was too hurt and embarrassed to give them to him.
"Sam I..." he began touching my shaking body.
I shrugged him of as if his touch and burnt my skin through my gray hoody.
"Freddie don't!" I said in a hushed, harsh, voice "Freddie I'm not ready to let go yet, I will be soon but just not yet so until then please just leave me alone!" I cried out desperately.
"But Sam you don't need to..." He started only to be interrupted by me once again.
"Arg, Freddie why do you keep pushing this!" I screamed exasperated "just because I don't act like most girls doesn't mean that I don't have feelings, Freddie I'm fragile, I bruise easily, just like Carly, just like Shannon even Valerie what part of that don't you understand?" I said heaving a heavy breath before leaving the studio.
Instead of the dramatic exit I'd intended on I landed in a tangled heap on the floor along side Spencer and Carly.
"You okay Sam?" asked a wheezing Carly form between me and Spencer.
"Yeah I'm fine!" I mumbled slightly "Just fringing fantastic" I added getting up and wiping myself down and turning to leave.
"Sam wait" She said again with a look of disbelieve on her face, by the time she'd untangled herself from Spencer the tears had started to travel down my cheeks "Sam!" she said moving forward arms outstretched. I shook my head violently backing away and taking a glance in at the studio were Freddie was still frozen.
"dork vadors brains going to kick in soon I got to get way before I fall as his victim" I managed to say jumpily with I weak smile, Carly let out a giggle and I ran down the stairs picking up my pace when I heard Carly's voice scream out Freddie.
I pulled my hood up looking up to the sky to see it was raining. Raining in Seattle who'd have though it?
My converse hit against the concrete of the side walk causing sludge and water to come splashing around my bare legs, Picking up speed when I hear an oh too familiar voice call out my namewhen would the boy take the hint?
I got slowed down slightly as I skidded around the sharp turn of the groovy smoothie, giving him the opportunity to catch up with me.
As my hand went to push the door to the groovy smoothie door open he wrapped his arm round my waist twisting me around to become face to face with him. We were so close are noses were touching I looked him up and down to see he was drenched. His cloths were covered in mud as was his face, his t-shirt was clinging to his well formed body and his hair was so wet that it was pulled down around his face. The water that fell of the tip of his fringe travelled down to my nose tickling it I tried to hide the giddiness this moment was causing me.
"Sam!" he said gasping for air "Please let me explain!" he added looking at me through his brown, pleading eyes. I rolled my eyes defeated letting him explain.
"Sam, I didn't mean any of those things I said honestly I was just so aggravated!" he said desperately
"Oh come on Freddie of course you meant it or you wouldn't have thought it. Me and you both know the truth comes out during times of anger!" I said disbelievingly trying to wriggle out of his grip only to be pulled closer to him.
"Well, I'd like to think that you don't really think I'm a dork!"He said letting a small smile play on his lips.
"Well sorry to burst your bubble Freddo but I do think you're a dork. But in a cute way you can't exactly say being an ugly ungrateful beast can be seen as an endearing quality can you?" I said while blushing
"Sam, yea you can be quite abrasive some times and can evolve into a beast like character, but my beast, my adorable, feisty, independent, beast!" He exclaimed pushing me fringe back slightly causing my hood to fall back no longer providing me with shelter from the rain.
"See that is what is annoying me!" I said aggravated as I finally wriggled out of his grip as it loosened due to his confusion.
"Freddie I don't care that you said I' m a beast believe me I know I am its genetic, I'm aggressive, abrasive, whatever way you want to put it, Its my thing like Carly's thing is being chirpy and Spencer's is being artistic and well wacky basically and yours is being, well no offence, you're thing is being a dork . And as for being ungrateful, as if that ones any revelation, anybody within fifty miles ratios could figure that one out!" I said out of breath and starting to head out to the rain pulling my hood back up before turning around saying " Freddie no girl likes being called ugly, we're fragile, bruise easily, it hurts, it hurts even more when they know deep down its the truth."I said stepping out of the shelter of groovy Smoothie's arch and running down the street God knows were, I didn't care as along as Freddie wasn't there.
Freddie was following close behind me he finally caught up with me in a secluded area grabbing me and swinging me up against the nearest brick wall. He started to stroke my cheek softly. His finger tips tickling my cheek, causing my body to tremble.
"I love the freckles on your nose" he said moving his lips down to kiss his nose
"I love the way your forehead crinkles when you confused!" He softly chuckling as my face portrayed a confused look what was he doing? "Yeah like that!" He said placing his lips on my forehead. He then removed my hoody to reveal my curly blond hair.
"I love your curly hair, especially when it bounces of the back of your shoulder when you're excited about taking part in an icarly skit!" he said talking a curl between his thumb and index finger and twirling it around before letting it fall down again and pushing me fringe back which had fallen out of place again.
"I love your aqua blue eyes which Light up when ever we're making a bet or have an argument, and it gives me a shine of hope thinking that maybe, just maybe it was me that caused them to have that glint of happiness in them!" He said I closed my eyes as he tenderly kissed my eye lids.
"I love you're smile, which is the cause of all thither thing I love that I have mentioned, I love the way you chew on your lip when your thinking, I love the way your tongue sticks out at the corner of your mouth when your concentrating, I love the smirk that plays on your lips when we've made a bet, I love the smell of you coconut (a/n its my favourite flavour if you haven't noticed!) Lip balm you put on and the way it makes your lips shine!" he said stopping to brush his lips with mine "and the way it tastes to" he said licking his lips causing me to blush.
"But most of all Sam I love you. Sam your beautiful don't let anyone tell you different!" he said with a serious look washed across his face.
"Freddie please don't do this to me!" I cried out wriggling out of his grasp once again Freddie looked at my confused and upset.
"Why Sam why I don't understand!" he said finally accepting defeat
"Because!" I screamed finally breaking "because...I've spent to damn long building this wall round my heart just to let you tear it down brick by brick Freddie!" I said in a calm and low tone of voice "Loads of people have tried before Freddie, Carly, Spencer and even Jonah but Freddie you're the only person to succeed and I just can't let that happen!"
"Why do you put up this front Sam?"Freddie asked trying his hardest to understand
I stood in silence blinking at him for a while before finally answering.
"It's a cover up" I whispered "It's a cover up to prevent me from getting hurt" I continued "Some girls use make-up others use fashion I use aggressiveness I guess!" I answered.
"Sam I'm not going to hurt you!" Freddie whispered walking forward to me I backed up slightly "And if I do its not intended!"
"That's my point Freddie you already have!" I answered back meekly. "Every time you send those puppy dog eyes at Carly my heart just breaks a little more!" I said jumpily knowing the water works were coming soon and being painfully aware that Freddie was moving closer to me and I was froze on the spot.
He eventually could move no longer. His forehead was pushed up against mine and his hands were resting on my hips "Let me put the pieces back together" he said his lips inches away from mine I nodded meekly, giving into temptation, aching to feel his soft, warm lips on mine again.
He smiled placing his lips against my quivering ones; I placed my hands on his chest. His lips started to move slowly against mine, mine falling quickly into sync, my hands travelled up to the back of his neck my fingers playing with the ends of his hair, he placed his hands on the small of my back pulling me in close causing a smile to play on my lips, his tongue glided across my bottom lip tasting a mixture of coconut, tears and rain drops. My lips slowly part as his tongue found mine intertwine with one and other.
We backed away and I looked into Freddie's deep brown eyes and I knew he was telling the truth we were in love.
10 years later
"And that's how me and your mother got together" said Freddie tucking in our 5 year old daughter in bed, she smiled with glee as she heard the oh so familiar story for the 7th night in a row
"Now go to sleep Laila" I said turning of the light yawning as Freddie kissed her forehead
"You think she'd be tired of that story by now" I whispered as Freddie closed her bedroom door. He chuckled lightly kissing my coconut flavoured lips before saying,
"I don't get tired of it, or the tastes of you're lip balm!" I laughed slightly nodding my head.
"Neither do I baby, neither do I" I sad giving him a quick peck on the lips.
