Chapter Four

Dinner

My short nap was interrupted by Spencer violently shaking me awake. I opened my eyes and scowled at my brother. His expression said he was sorry so I smiled. Sam and Freddie were standing pretty close to each other. In fact, they were so close, their shoulders were touching. And they weren't even fighting! That's the closest they've gotten to each without fighting since their kiss. I had the urge to yell, 'Awwhh!,' but I figured they'd start bickering again, so I said, "Did Socko call?"

"Yeah," Spencer replied. "He wants us to meet him at Bob's Shrimp Shack." I rubbed my stomach at the thought of food. I hadn't eaten since 12 and it was 7. I needed food. I spritzed on a bit of perfume and followed the three out the door and to the restaurant.

The restaurant lived up to its name. It definitely looked like a shack. But I shrugged it off as we spotted Socko outside the restaurant. He ran up to me and hugged me, picking me up and spinning me around.

"Carly fry! How are ya?"

"Great Socko. How's Taylor?"

"Nerdy as always." I chuckled at this. Socko and Taylor were quite the couple. They reminded me a bit of Sam and Freddie, always bickering. I'd known them for three years, and they were like family to me.

"Oh Taylor," I sighed.

Socko hugged Spencer as I teased them about having a bromance. He walked up to Sam and Freddie and said, "So this must be the dynamic duo I hear so much talk of."

"Are you sure you don't mean destructive duo?" I asked jokingly.

Socko shook hands with Freddie. "Good, strong handshake, Freddison."

"Nice to meet you Socko."

Socko then turned to Sam, kneeling and kissing her hand. "Nice to meet you, my lady."

"Yeah, whatever," she replied.

"Feisty. I like it." We all then made our way into the restaurant and took our seats. After receiving our food, we began to talk.

"So are you all enjoying Florida yet?" Socko inquired.

"Shoosh yeah!" we all shouted.

"Thanks for sending us here, Socks," Spencer said.

"No problem, Spence. It's all my pleasure. As is this dinner tonight."

We went on to make more small talk when something went wrong.

Socko asked the forbidden question.

"So, Sam and Freddie. How long have you two been together?" The two looked at each other and busted out laughing. Socko was clearly serious as well as confused.

The laughter died, and simultaneously, Sam and Freddie said, "You were serious."

"Well of course I was. You guys are adorable together." This received two grossed-out expressions and fake gagging.

"I would never date this nub."

"And like I'd ever like this lazy bum."

Silence, then, "So I'm not good enough?" Uh oh….

"That's not what I said."

"Really? 'Cause that's what it sounded like."

"No I just meant…."

"You just meant what?"

"I don't know…."

"That's what I thought." More silence.

After ten minutes, "Sam, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"Whatever."

Back at the hotel, I lay facing away from Sam, she in the same position.

"Sam?"

"Huh?"

"You know Freddie didn't mean it, right?"

"Yeah. Sure he didn't."

"Sam.."

"Just forget it Shay. Goodnight."

This was NOT going too well.
