Chapter 15: Wanna Be Starting Something

After we consoled Carly for a few minutes, we seemed to have gone back into a semi-normal routine. Like if no truths were exposed. There were still some questions that Carly wanted answers to which I was happy to have given her. But I couldn't help but notice that she was trying to see what Sam had to say about some of the things she was asking. It's like she expected a response more from her than from me. That girl wave length between them was damaged indeed, because Sam could still read Carly like a book and it looked like Carly was having a hard time trying to figure out what she was thinking about.

"I was happy to have seen Gibby and Tasha weren't you?" she asked us. I turned my head in her direction and replied.

"Yeah, but to tell ya the truth I was expecting her to have been pregnant by now don't you think Sam? Sam?" I looked over my shoulder and saw that she simply nodded, but I don't even think she knew what we were talking about. Carly tried to show that she wasn't affected by this, but deep down I knew that she was. But there was nothing I could do, or she could do. Sam was in her own little world. She would turn to us and answer simply, going back to cleaning, which was so… unlike her. Not that I didn't like it, but I knew she must have had a lot of things going through her mind to have actually want to clean rather than just be lazy. And I knew there must have been.

Right off the bat the one thing that she was thinking of was Jesse. What she needed to have done weeks ago was just around the corner. Finally she was going to come back to me. I ended up biting my lip with so much anticipation that everything was going to go back to the way it was before. We can finally have our summer together. And enjoy it.

I always tried to catch her attention but something about being around Carly was pulling her from being the Sam I knew when we were alone. But it made sense. For one, by the way Carly kept looking from me to her was in a sense, awkward. It was almost as if she still was finding it hard to believe that I loved her as much as Sam loved me. Hopefully with time, that sense of awkwardness would dissipate quickly. Actually the sooner the better for all of us so we could all go back to the way we were.

When everything was cleared up in the house (or the biggest chunks of it at least), both Sam and I departed from Carly's watchful eyes with a goodnight. As we closed the door I wanted to touch Sam with an intensity that I cannot even qualify as normal. All the times we actually got 'together' if you catch my drift, we would always finish. There would never be any interruptions as I kissed her swollen lips, as I was bringing myself over the edge for her. Our appetites were always satiated. And we both knew that we needed that sense of release. But this time, as we needed that release, and I hoped now would be a good time.

But as I walked Sam out into the elevator and kissed her goodnight, I knew that she wouldn't stay here with me. I honestly didn't care by now that she was still with that guy, because she finally gave me the hope that I had been waiting for all these years.

She finally admitted to me that she was in love with me, just like I was in love with her. As she entered the elevator and turned her head and gave me that same sexual smile she gave me in the studio, I wanted to jump in that elevator with her and wipe it off. I wanted to pin her against the wall, as I would thrust up inside her. Fuck it; I just wanted all of her. But I stopped and suppressed all urges and didn't go inside the elevator, just waved goodnight as she still smiled, offering more than just a goodnight kiss. I think that was the hardest thing I could have ever done. When the doors closed I let out a quiet sigh and walked inside my apartment. It was midnight and the lights were still on, meaning one thing: my mom was waiting up on me. True enough I saw her come out of the bathroom in a robe and some sort of green mask on. What women do to stay pretty.

"Oh, Freddie." She said, happy to have seen me (and only me) stroll into the apartment building. She brought her hands up to her face as if one hand would cover her face. "Everything cleaned up over there with Carly?" she asked me.

"Pretty much, just need to take out the trash in the morning, but I'm sure that with Spencer being back, he can handle that at least since he didn't help us clean." As soon as everyone was gone, he called it a night and fell asleep instantly.

"Well there was a message on the phone for you while we were over at Carly's going away party. From someone in Boston." She told me. I started to wonder which one of my friends was going to ask me to go over during the summer, so I went straight to the machine and played back the message. What I didn't expect was that it wasn't a friend of mine calling, but someone much older, offering me an opportunity of a lifetime so to speak.

"Hello, this is Andrew Cavenshire, the head of the department of Technology United located here in Boston Massachusetts. I am looking for Fredward Benson to offer him a position in our company under the recommendation of one of his professors, if you could call us back at 1(800)-756-2314 to schedule an appointment with one of our secretaries we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and hoping to hear from you soon."

Click.

When I rewound the message two more times, my mind was racing the entire time. This was the one department that I was looking forward to since my professor for computer programming told me of it. They had the most advanced technology and they also had processors that have never crashed. Hackers to this day are still trying to break into their programs and none have succeeded. Even I tried and failed miserably. But that just made me want to work with them more. It was the hardest department in Massachusetts to get into! I swear I think the only happiest time I had was when I found out bad boy Griffin was a Pee Wee Baby collector! I reached for the phone to call them back and realized they would be closed right now. But my excitement was ignoring the time! This was unbelievable! I finally have the chance to get everything right in my life! I could possibly end up working for them! How can this night get any better!

"Freddie? Who was it?" she asked me, her face green-mask free. I didn't contain my excitement from her as I ran up and hugged her, earning a tiny shriek escape from her mouth.

"It was the guys of Technology United! These guys have the strongest technological programming techniques! It's the call that my professor helped me with!" If Sam were here she would have told me to stop acting like such a girl, which I was acting that way but I didn't care! Nothing was mattering to me at the moment because everything was finally going right!
Carly knew about a secret that Sam and I kept in hiding for over three years. Sam was breaking it off with Jesse to be with me. And now Tech U. was within my reach. I had to plan quickly and buy a ticket to go back. Better yet, I'll buy two tickets so Sam can come with me and see Boston.

"Well I'm happy for you Freddie." She said as I put her down. For some odd reason she sounded tired. "Where will the interview be taking place at?" I lifted my hands up in excitement.

"BOSTON!" I yelled, but loud enough for her ears only. The smile came and went as soon as I let that name out of my mouth. "What is it?" I said, a little concern in my voice. I didn't understand how her face could go from glowing to gloomy in one second flat. How could this in any way be bad news?

"Freddie, will that mean that you will have to work over there? Or can you get an office here?" she asked hopefully. I rubbed the back of my neck.

"I think they are going to want me to work with them over there. They may be a strong company but they are only recognized in Boston." I explained. I could tell by the way that she was staring at me with her solemn eyes that mom wasn't thinking about her sake. But someone else's. I hadn't thought about what Sam would think about possibly moving to Boston. But Boston was such a pretty place, Sam would fit in perfectly I bet, if she wanted to move over there. At least, I hope she can.

"Freddie, I'm not saying you shouldn't go to this interview, but I think you should also talk to Sam about this as well. Who knows if she even wants to go and move away from here." She advised me. "But you know what? We'll discuss all this in the morning. It's late and I am a little tired so..." She leaned in and I let her kiss my cheek goodnight, something I haven't let her done in such a long time. Maybe it was because I needed the consolation that she was giving me.

I was thinking about Sam. Just not the way that I needed to. My mom had a point: I needed to talk with her about this. But it was all in good sacrifice to go onto this interview. It was one step closer to being that which would happen eventually: being together, marriage, kids, and ultimately being happy with each other. I knew that once I would tell her about it she would hop alongside me, ready for all the things to come.

A/N: Sorry for the late update (and for it being so short) but with the fireworks approaching fast I didn't want to leave you guys with anything, but I didn't want to go into much detail as to what will happen next. The story must go on and the next chapter will be it's appropriate length again.

Have a happy Fourth of July! Spend it with Family and Friends dear to you! And until next time. :)
