iJust Need You Ch 4

The tense atmosphere diminished a bit during their quiet meal. When they were finished, Spencer decided that talking could wait. He was still kind of freaked out about the feelings he was having toward Sam all of the sudden. He'd cared for her for forever it seemed, and thought of her as a close friend of his for at least a year but he had just started to see her as a woman in the last couple of weeks. It wasn't the acknowledgement that she had indeed blossomed into a beautiful woman that scared him. It was the intense desire, the pounding of his heart, the hurricane of butterflies in his stomach whenever she brushed against him that had just begun. Spencer knew what he was feeling wasn't right, at least not so far as society was concerned. If he acted on his feelings, he could go to jail. Even knowing that, when he looked at her he felt like it just might be worth it.

This is stupid. It's not like she'd ever be in to me anyways, probably thinks I'm old and not…boyfriend material.

Spencer and Sam dropped onto the couch and propped their feet on the coffee table.

"Celebrities Underwater?" Spencer asked, grabbing the remote.

"No way! That show bites. How about Meat TV?"

"Meat TV Sam? That sounds booooring...and kinda dirty…" Spencer wrinkled his nose as his mind fell straight into the gutter.

Sam looked over and knew right away what was on his mind by the look on his face. She leaned in close.

"Pervert." Her lips brushed his ear when she whispered her insult. Chills ran down Spencer's spine. He didn't notice when she got so close to him but he did know he was liking it a little too much. He turned his head to look at her, his nose bumping hers softly.

"Am not." He whispered.

Sam felt his breath ghost over her trembling lips. Her heart slammed into her rib cage so hard she was positive it was going he beat right out of her chest. All she had to do was lean, just slightly and her lips would be on his. She moved her gaze from his mouth to his eyes and got caught in his intense stare.

He watched her closely. She was staring at his lips as if she were in a trance.

Move back Spencer! This can't happen, you can't take advantage of her.

He had almost leaned away, almost put an end to it, and then she looked into his eyes and he was drowning in deep, blue pools with no hope of escape.

They both leaned, lips a breath away.

"Hey Spencer, what's for…" Carly froze at the foot of the stairs and looked at her brother and best friend in shock. "…lunch."

Spencer jerked back from Sam and looked guiltily at his little sister. Sam quickly took control of the situation.

"Well did you see anything Spence? I really feels like there's an eyelash stuck in there." Sam rubbed her eye while looking back at Carly. "Hey Carls. What goes on?"

Carly gave Sam a tense smile and walked into the kitchen.

"I was going to ask you guys the same thing. For a second there I thought the two of you were about to kiss or something." The brunette forced out a chuckle. "Good to know he was just checking your eye for a rogue eyelash."

Spencer was spazzing out. Why didn't he consider that Carly might come down the stairs? He was lucky that Sam could lie so well or else they would've had some serious explaining to do. Sam turned back to him after she greeted Carly.

"Well? Did you see anything?" She leaned her pretty blonde head toward him again and gave him a look that clearly said to play along.

He cupped her cheek in one calloused hand and pulled her lower eyelid down with the other.

"Found it!" He shouted a little too loudly. He made a show of poking his finger into her eyeball and swiping out the non-existent, wayward eyelash.

Sam swatted at him after the rough treatment.

"Geez Spencer I said get the lash not gouge my eye out."

"Anyways." Carly interrupted as she sat down next to Sam. "Do you want to tell me why you were all over Freddie last night?"

Spencer stared at his sister. He knew she was upset that Sam had kissed her boyfriend, but he was surprised that she was being so cold toward her even though Sam had no idea they were together.

Sam flushed and stood angrily.

"I was NOT all over him!" She shouted at the brunette.

Carly stood and pointed her finger right in Sam's face. "Well your lips certainly were!"

"It didn't mean anything! I just wanted him to shut up and leave me alone!"

"So the only way you could think of to shut Freddie up was to shove your mouth onto his?" Carly shouted.

"What's your problem anyways? This has nothing to do with you Carly!"

Spencer knew the situation was way out of hand. He knew that he needed to put a stop to it before one of them said something they would truly regret. He stood and moved to walk between them but it was too late.

"It has everything to do with me you dirty little boyfriend stealer!" Carly slapped her hand over her mouth and stared at Sam wide-eyed. She had really not meant to say that.

Sam and Spencer froze at Carly's out burst.

"Boyfriend stealer? But I didn't…" Sam snapped her head up to look at Carly. "You and Freddie are dating?"

Carly couldn't find her voice so nodded her head slightly.

"Why didn't you guys tell me?" Sam was genuinely hurt. She thought that the three of them were best friends. That they kept something this big from her…

The blonde rounded on Spencer.

"Did YOU know about this too?" She hoped that he hadn't kept her in the dark too. Spencer put his hand on her shoulders and looked her in the eye.

"No. They just told me this morning."

Sam was relived that Spencer hadn't been part of this. She turned back to Carly, hoping to understand why they thought they had to keep their relationship a secret from her.

"Why?" she asked quietly. "I thought I was your best friend Carls, why wouldn't you guys tell me about this?"

Before Carly could answer, the door opened and Freddie walked in.

"Hey what goes…" Freddie paused, noticing the icy tension in the room. "on?"
