I don't own iCarly (Author's note at the end of the chapter. Feel free to read it)
B e f o r e.
Six weeks later. Four years b e f o r e. . .
Freddie woke up early morning of October Four. It was an important day to both of them. He would always text her early in the morning and greet her and he would either not attend his classes for the day or if he can't do that, he'll stay on Skype with her overnight. He didn't have to do those things this time because she was right next to him. Her hands in his abdomen and her head on his chest. He smiled. He could never get used to waking up everyday like this. Every night he prays to wake up beside her. He prayed that this wasn't all a dream. That he would always feel the heat of her touch. He kissed the top of her head and started brushing her hair using his hands.
They've made it this far.
Well, they technically made it this far without the break-ups. And yes, they celebrate they're original anniversary date so as not to create confusion.
He tried his best to get her off of his chest so he could make breakfast. He replaced him with a pillow. He winced when he saw her made a slight movement. He then went to the kitchen and decided to prepare breakfast for Sam. He grabbed the bacon from the freezer and the eggs from the refrigerator. While waiting for the bacon to slightly unfreeze, he fixed the tray he'll be putting the breakfast on. He cracked the egg and beat it. Sam preferred scrambled eggs than the sunny side-up once. He cooked the bacon. After everything he put it all in a plate and put the plate on the tray. He grabbed a juice from the ref, placed it on a tall glass and put it down on the tray. He carried the tray going to the room. He smiled as he saw her still sleeping.
Her eyes shot open when she smelled the aroma of bacon. She sniffed and looked at Freddie. Surely enough he was there with a tray of food in his arms. He smiled at her. She smiled back.
"What's the occasion?" She asked. His smile dropped. She was already digging in her food to see his reaction to what she said.
. . . . .
"Dude, you've been obviously not in a good mood today." Justin said while hanging out at a coffee house near the University. Freddie with his right hand already on his chin, sighed. He looked outside. How can she forget? Sure, it was Sam. But this was important. he didn't think she'd ever forget this day. How can she have forgotten this day? There was a slight hope that this was one of her pranks. That she do remember this day and is planning a surprise today when he gets home. He smiled. Maybe that was it. He grabbed his phone. His peers looking at him with confused eyes. He was acting like a weirdo. He called her and after three rings, she picked up.
"Freddo!" She said.
"Hey! Should I eat at home or something?" He said trying not to be too obvious.
"Oh! yeah" She said. He grinned widely making his company less comfortable and more confused. "About that..." She continued. His grin faded.
"What?" He asked with concern.
"I'll be home really late. I have to start my night shift in 7/11" She replied.
"Ohh" He replied. They talked for a little bit but Sam told him she has to go and take a shower. Freddie hung up the phone with a sigh.
"What's up?" Justin asked with a concerned look for one of his closest friend. He rarely see Freddie like this. Well, he only see him like this when he had a fight with Sam, his girlfriend that they all thought was fictional until the day they met her. Justin tapped Freddie's back in a lame attempt to comfort him. "There, there" he said. Freddie returned his taps with a glare.
"Dude , If you and Sam are breaking up , I promise you that I will take care of her and—" Freddie raised his eyebrows. "Just kidding, man!"
. . . . . .
After hanging out (more like spacing out) in the coffee house, Freddie went home to his empty apartment. Nope, no surprises. Just him and his furniture. No Sam surprising him. Damn, how can this day start like it was going to be fucking perfect only to end like a total screw up? He thought. He flopped into his chair and decided to just watch the replays of Celebrities Underwater.
Time passed and he was already watching Whip Out. 11:30 p.m. She was still not home. He grabbed a pillow from his bedroom and placed it on the couch. He lay on the couch and after a few minutes he fell asleep. He still had his gift for her in the closet. He wasn't in the mood to give it this morning and now that he's at least a little bit okay, she wasn't home. He woke up and it was 11: 45 p.m. He decided to make himself a coffee. They almost didn't even spent this day together. They barely even saw each other for fuck's sake. He sighed rubbing his eyes while preparing the coffee maker. He sat on the kitchen chair and waited for the coffee to finish. As soon as it did. He drank it and waited for her in the kitchen. He was too lazy to stand up and go back to the living room although it was only a mere feet away. It was 12:01 a.m.
They're anniversary was officially over.
And it's the suckiest anniversary in the history ever.
If suckiest is even a word.
"Benson" She said looking at him curiously. "What are you still doing up?" She continued.
"I wanted to give you something." He said with a very sleepy voice "Wait here"
She waited.
He came back a few seconds later.
"Here" He said giving her a long rectangular box. "Andie told me you saw it and won't stop yapping—" he was cut off by a very passionate kiss. He kissed her back with equal passion.
"Dammit Freddie! I wanted to be the first one to give the gift." She said "But never the less, this is the best anniversary ever! Well, so far.." She said smiling. Freddie looked at her, confused.
"Sam, you forgot it was our anniversary."
"No, I didn'.t" She replied.
"Yesterday was our anniversary" He replied.
"No, today is our anniversary. October fourth, remember?" Sam replied. "Freddie, today's October fourth!" Freddie then looked at the calendar.
"Ohh.."
