Chapter 7

Pillow Talking

Benson Apartment

04:13AM

Freddie's eyes had long since adjusted to the darkness, laying on his side Freddie stared into nothingness. It was another night in his mother's bed and another sleepless night, in a few hours he would have to get ready for school; even though he was exhausted and could probably skip school he would soldier through it than be home with her. He could no longer easily bring himself to call her "mom", during the last few days his relationship with his mother had deteriorated exceedingly; it was as if they were living in separate worlds and if Marissa noticed Freddie didn't see it. Marissa had let him know that he was not to spend more time than was necessary with Carly, Freddie wasn't sure if she knew about his relationship with Carly but was sure she knew something along those lines. He assumed it was something to do with answering the door to Carly, but as for what set her off; he couldn't guess. He could have asked Carly what happened but he didn't want to give her any suspicions on what was going on. Freddie let out a soft chuckle as he recalled the statutory rape sex they had a few days ago; it was sick but it was fantastic. 'Fantastic' he thought letting out another chuckle, he wanted to scream and shout but he knew once he started he would never stop. As he was instructed he kept time spent with Carly to a minimum the last couple of days, it had proved harder than he had expected, but he did it even when she cornered him. He could tell she was catching on to the signs of his withdrawal with the long stares she would be giving him during classes, it wasn't easy to stay away from her but it was better this way; best his misery be his alone.

Marissa roused slightly from behind him but did not wake and for that he was glad, though it made no difference it was just delaying the inevitable, she would want him to put his tongue to good use before he left for school. Freddie turned away from his side to face his mother's slumbering face; it was at moments like this that none of what she had done to him mattered. She was using him as a sexual and emotional outlet and he could live with that as long as it kept her in his life. He never lied to himself; he was weak but that was just how he was raised, his mother was his life; always the one to take care of him, and he would live with this if it meant keeping her alright. Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear brought a sad smile to his face and tears to his eyes, as he watching her eyes slowly falter open.

"I love you m-...om" he croaked out as they continued to stare into each others eyes

Rolling over to the other side of the bed Pam was slightly shocked to find a warm body still present in her bed, bringing her face up to the source of the heat an involuntary smile crept up to her lips. Most men would have been gone by the time she was awake, yet he was still in her bed; though she liked the feeling spreading through her, this would not do lest she get attached again. Her smile faded into a light frown.

"Hey beautiful, good to see your up, I was starting to think I'll have to leave without saying goodbye"

"You should have" she said extracting her arm from his chest

"And what sort of gentleman would I be if I did that"

"Last night was great, and if you left you would have been another perfect stranger"

"Is that what you expected or wanted?" he said bringing their lips together

"I'm undecided as of yet" she said as she deepened the kiss

"Well you'll have to tell me your decision later, I'll have to leave pretty soon or I'll be late for work"

"Oh? Bit of a tease aren't you"

"I'm going to make some coffee before I go, you want one?" he said with a light chuckle

"Sure"

Pam watched at the latest man she had conquered, and was indecisive as to tell him that this is a one time thing or to see how this all played out not really minding a repeat of last nights encounter. He didn't bother putting on his shirt over his torso leaving his rock hard abs in full view; Pam licked her lips deciding to let this play out without getting caught up in the moment.

Sam sighed as she dumped her empty bowl into the sink, which was already full with dirty dishes, after another night of crying herself to sleep she wasn't feeling very chipper this morning. Looking down at the filthy cluster of dishes Sam let out another sigh, she would have to clean up the house when she got back from school as chances of Pam cleaning up the place were low.

"Quite a mess you have there" an unfamiliar voice commented

Sam felt a blush come over her as she stared at the unknown attractive male who had entered the room; she tried to extract her eyes from him but couldn't bring herself to stop as she gawked at his muscular body.

"I'm guessing you're the latest victim" she said finally tearing her eyes from him

"I guess so…and you must be Sam" he said with uncertain humor laced in his voice

"MmmMh" Sam mumbled something under her breath

"Your mum was very adamant about keeping it down last night, said you've been having a bad couple of days"

"And wasn't that nice of her" Sam responded sarcastically

"I'm Mike by the way" He said pouring some coffee into a pair of mugs

"It doesn't matter"

Sam picked up her back pack off the floor before heading to the door leaving behind a chuckling Mike, He did seem like a nice enough guy but Sam knew there was no point in getting to know him as he would probably be replaced by another face by tonight just like the other one she had over a few nights ago. Sam felt exhausted as she waited for the school bus, knowing no amount of mental killings would be able to cheer her up today.

Ridgeway high school

Freddie had to admit that being one of the top students in the school had its perks; one being that most teachers (with the exception of Mr. Howard and Ms. Briggs) didn't question your honesty. He had bags under his eyes which were also bloodshot bringing up the need to have sun glasses on at all times, not wanting any unneeded attention he was pinning the need for the sun glasses on laser eye surgery he had the day before and that doctor's orders were to keep them on at all times. A select few knew he was bullshitting but didn't raise a word against him; after all they were his sort of best friend and girlfriend. Making his way to his locker Freddie was now more than ever glad to have the sun glasses as it was easier to avoid the stares that were directed at him, most of which were girls who had never seemed to be into him but now giving him flirtatious stares; the other stares he was getting weren't as inviting as the girls. His relationship with Carly had caused some of the males in the school to be envious of him, one of the seniors had even confidently come up to Carly and asked her out but she shot him down, leaving the jock with a bruised ego and growing loathing for Freddie. Freddie knew it wouldn't last though; Carly would come up to him sooner or later and demand an explanation for his recent behavior, which he wouldn't give causing them to break up and with that she would find another more deserving of her love. Freddie felt dirty and had no right to be with her, he would only be complicating things if he stayed with her.

Freddie shoved his bag into his locker before extracting a couple of books for his next lesson, slamming his locker shut he saw Carly coming towards him from down the hall. Sensing the coming confrontation Freddie tried to bolt to his next class before she caught up with him, spinning on his heel Freddie made to dash in the opposite direction from Carly when he crashed against a meaty solid, causing him to fall back and drop his books in the process. Freddie slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Liam Hastings the same senior who had asked Carly out, biting back an insult Freddie muttered an apology as he stood up on one knee and started collecting his books.

"Watch where going Benson" the older boy hissed

"Will do" Freddie said as he adjusted his shades before getting of the floor making to continue on his previous course

As Freddie was about to walk around Him, Liam brought his hand up to Freddie's chest and shoving him back to face him. Looking through the tinted lens Freddie could see Liam's attention wasn't fully on him but on his fast approaching girlfriend, 'Great' thought Freddie, as the jock was intending to humiliate him in front of Carly in hopes of gaining her affections or at least steer them away from him. Liam was known for not being too bright and more or less depended on his muscles and good looks in life, he was on the football team and Freddie knew he wouldn't be able to take him in a straight up fight.

"Was I done talking to you Benson?" Liam said looking down at Freddie

Freddie's lips cracked into a smile

"Something funny Benson?" Liam hissed through gritted teeth as people began to notice their encounter

"No don't worry about it, just an inside joke, so you wanted to talk" Freddie replied losing his patience

"You think you're so cool don't you" said giving his shoulder a shove with his index finger

"Extremely" Freddie said sarcasm dripping out of every pore

With that Liam reached up grabbing the shades off his face and throwing them across the floor, Freddie winced as the light hit his eyes causing him to block the light from his eyes with his hand and look to the floor before looking back up at his new found enemy. Liam's smug face greeted Freddie as his eyes adjusted to the light.

"Are you done?" Freddie said in a cold voice causing the jocks smirk to falter

"How about an apology" the jock demanded

"I'm sorry" Freddie said calmly

"Say it like you mean it" He taunted

"Screw you" Freddie hissed

"Wrong answer" the jock said cocking his fist

Freddie watched as Liam prepared to strike a blow at him, he didn't flinch or make an attempt to block the incoming fist, but stood in waiting for it. Truth be told he didn't care for it, if anything he wanted to get hit; even hoped blood would be drawn. Freddie let his eyes falter closed as he waited for the inevitable pain to come.

Crunch

Thud

Freddie waited but nothing came into contact with his face and with slight disappointment he let his eyes open to find the jock that was previously in front of him on the floor in a fetal position his hands on his crouch, with a confused look Freddie looked at a set of legs next to the jock and followed them up to meet a familiar face. Unable to stop the smile that crept up to his face Freddie smiled at the blonde girl wearing short shorts and some chucks in front of him.

"My knight in shining armor" Freddie said with a hint of humor

"Fredward" Sam greeted calmly stepping over the jock and brushing past Freddie, walking away from the gathered crowd

With a sigh Freddie scanned the crowd's feet for his shades but didn't find any sign of them until someone in the crowd waved at him; Malika had his glasses. Quickly making his way over to her he motioned for her to follow him to their next class, as she handed him his glasses Freddie saw the scrawl that formed on her face.

"Thanks for getting my glasses off the floor" Freddie said as they walked

"Are you ok" she asked her tone mixed with worry

"All systems are at a hundred percent"

"You don't look ok"

"Just a bit of insomnia these couple of days, nothing to worry about"

"Oh good, so are we still on for the groovy smoothie?" she said with enthusiasm

"Sure" Freddie said finding it hard to let her down

Freddie stopped a few feet away from the class but told Malika to go on, looking back at the lockers where the jock was collecting himself, he locked eyes with Carly who had been watching him since his confrontation with Liam, he noted the deep scrawl she wore as she walked out of his view up the stairs to the second floor. Freddie entered the class to find the teacher had already went on ahead and started without him, he briefly locked eyes with Sam who had seated herself at the back of the class.

Freddie let his mind wonder back to Sam and it felt as though he hadn't seen her in days, He had eaten lunch with her and Carly the day before but she had been distant and subdued. He had to admit he was the same; masking his distance behind a smile as Carly droned on about something he couldn't remember. He was grateful for her saving his ass back there and he was starting to miss their little arguments but at the moment with the way things were it couldn't be helped. A vibration in his pants brought Freddie out of his inner musings, pulling his phone out he glanced at the message sent to him by Carly.

'WE NEED TO TALK!'

'I'll meet you at your Apartment later' he texted back

'Don't blow me off Freddie' she had figured out he was avoiding her

'I won't'

He felt his heart sink as the words he just texted her hit him, he is going to have to face her and he knew that it would end of both their relationship and friendship. Freddie chuckled at that, Carly's reasoning had been right all along and now because he hadn't been able to deny her she would hate him, if he had just told her that they should remain friends none of this would have happened. Freddie sighed sinking in deeper into his chair with a sad smile playing his lips.

After a long tedious lesson the period shift sounded and students started filling out of the class, Freddie waited until all the students had filled out leaving him, Sam and the teacher who was too busy shoving papers into his bag to notice them.

"Hey" Freddie greeted Sam as she walked by him and he followed

"No thanks needed Fredwierd, its' what I do" Sam said in a uninterested voice

"Yeah thanks, but it's not that" Freddie said causing her to stop her progress and turn to face him with a sigh

"Ok what's up" she said not meeting his eyes

"Uhm nothing really I just wanted to check on you"

"I'm awesome, are we done?" Sam her voice shaking slightly

"Sa-…m" Freddie spoke but she had already walked away

Freddie was about to follow after her when he caught Malika's form at her locker, his meeting with Carly took priority over getting to know Malika and he had to cancel their hanging out at the groovy smoothie. Freddie gave a sigh as he took one last look at Sam before making his way over to Malika.

"Hey" she said turning away from her locker

"Hey so about the groovy smoothie-"

"Yeah" she cut him off before he could get it all out

"Well something's come up and-"

"You can't make it" she said finishing his sentence with a sigh

"Yeah…how about we try again some time next week?" Freddie said with an apologetic smile

"Sure" she said with a gloomy smile shutting her locker and making her way towards her next lesson.

Carly scrutinized Freddie as he walked into her room, she was glad he kept his promise to talk to her. Freddie had been avoiding her for the last couple of days and she needed to know why before she jumped to conclusions, which she was finding fairly hard with all the free time she had to concoct ideas to why he has been withdrawn from her. Freddie wasn't the only one who had been withdrawn; Sam was also keeping to herself more than usual, with both of them keeping away from her she suspected they were fucking but she knew Sam would never do that, so she tried not to think about it. She was sitting at the side of the bed facing the door watching Freddie make his way over to her; he dropped a small kiss on her cheek before sitting himself down next to her. He seemed more nervous than usual and his kiss on the cheek bothered her, now that they were in private she had expected him to give her more than just a kiss on the cheek.

"So you wanted to talk..." Freddie said feigning ignorance of the situation

"What's going on Freddie" she asked staring down at her toes

"What do you mean?"

"You know what…you've been avoiding me"

"I've been a bit busy, that's all" he said lowly

"With what?"She asked incredulously

"It doesn't matter, I'm here now aren't I" he said looking her in the eye

"Yes it does!... are you seeing somebody else" Carly said unable to hold back her insecurity

"Why would I do that when I'm with you?"

"I don't know Freddie, why do guys do what they do?" Carly said with impatience as he hadn't answered her question

"I'm not seeing someone else"

"Then why have you been avoiding me?"

Freddie could feel a sense of dread come over him, was this it? They hadn't been together more than a month and he was already going to fuck it up. Looking into Carly's eyes Freddie's resolution to end their relationship wavered and he knew he couldn't go through with it, forcing a smile Freddie took Carly's hand into his.

"I'm sorry I just got freaked out by everything and thought we were moving a bit fast"

"Why didn't you talk to me about it?"

"I'm here now aren't I" he said giving her hand a squeeze and looking her in the eye

Carly knew Freddie was hiding something from her, but she couldn't find it in her to care as their eyes met, slowly she leaned in and he mirrored her movement until their lips met. The kiss started out gentle grew more passionate as Carly leaned in laying Freddie on the bed and straddling him, with their tongues fighting for supremacy Carly let out a moan into his mouth as he gave her ass a firm squeeze. She temporarily broke their kiss and pulled her t-shirt over head before resuming the battle of the tongues, left in her bra Carly arched forward as Freddie ran his finger over her erect nipple under the laced material. Freddie brought his hands to her back and his fingers made quick work of her bra, with her bra undone Freddie broke the kiss and flipped Carly onto her back and buried his face in her neck. Their rate off progress frustrated Carly and she pushed Freddie back to an upright position before slipping his t-shirt off him, with his shirt off she started to work on his pants but Freddie got off her and slipped out his jeans along with Carly's as well.

With both of them in their knickers Freddie was surprised when Carly got up and went down on all fours, giving him a mischievous smile Carly flicked her hair away from her face and waited fro him to get on board with her plan. Unable to suppress a grin Freddie joined her on the bed walking up behind her on his knees, he brought his arm around to her chest bring her up on her knees as well, Giving out a groan at the contact of her flesh on his Freddie slid one hand into her panties causing Carly to give out a slight whimper, taking her sounds of pleasure as encouragement Freddie slid one finger into her, while keeping her back tightly on his front with his other arm as it pinched her nipple. Freddie's ministrations had Carly buckling against his grip and his name protruding from her lips, he let go of her and let her drop back on all fours before hooking his fingers into her panty and dragging it down to her thighs. With full view of her wet pussy Freddie pulled his dick out his boxers and slid it into her with a groan, feeling her tight walls against his hard dick Freddie started to pump in an out of her. The waves of pleasure started to overwhelm Carly causing her arms to buckle bringing her chest down ass up, she didn't bother to get up as the burying her face into the bed was muffling her cries and moans. Not used to her tight pussy Freddie came with a deep groan, Carly's moans faded as she felt the waves of pleasure come to a stop.

Carly managed to bring her face of the bed enough to stare at Freddie who was panting profusely, her staring didn't go unnoticed by Freddie who then smiled and winked at her. Carly was about to give out a verbal protest at not getting off when Freddie grabbed her and flipped her on her back, as soon as she was on her back she felt her legs pulled apart. Carly saw him disappear in between her legs but before she could get a glimpse of what he was up to she let out a muffled moan as she bit down on her lip and dug her nails into the bed, Freddie licked and sucked on her pussy in ways she couldn't understand. His hand on her breasts squeezing her nipples with an intensity that brought on pain and pleasure with the latter overriding the former, unable to hold back Carly came with one final yelp in pleasure and feeling herself again on the edge of consciousness. The two were too focused on their sexual pleasures they didn't hear Sam calling out Carly's name as she came up the stairs towards Carly's room, too focused on one another the pair didn't notice Sam barge into the room as she always does.

"WHAT THE FUCK" Sam shrieked breaking the pair from their high

Neither of the two was able to reply as Sam bolted from the room leaving behind a bewildered Freddie and disorientated Carly, Freddie removed his tongue out of Carly with trail of her juices stretching out between him and her pussy, as he pulled out his tongue Carly gave out on final moan arching upwards before slumping back on the bed with a tired sigh. Freddie got off the bed and walked over to the door and locking it just in case Spencer was home and decided to check what all the commotion was about.

"What was that?" Carly asked with a hit of humor as she watched Freddie make his way back to her

"Sam" he replied his voice slightly grim

"Oh don't sound so grim, I'll call her later and it will be like it never happened"

"I'm sure it will-" sigh "you want to continue?" Freddie asked with a slight smile

"No….lets just cuddle for a while"

"Ok"

Carly slipped on her t-shirt before entering her bed and into Freddie's awaiting arms, she felt his grip tighten around her bringing a smile to her face. Feeling content with Freddie's arms around her Carly couldn't help the goofy smile that formed on her face and the warmth that was spreading through her as she slowly started to lose the fight against consciousness.

"You were amazing" she breathed out

"So were you" he said planting a small kiss on her neck

"The things you did with your tongue…it was like you knew what you were doing" *Pause* "If you've had sex before its ok Freddie you can tell me I wont be mad…even if its Sam" she said though the last part was barely audible but Freddie heard it.

Freddie involuntarily tensed not sure how to go about answering Carly's question, he could tell her he has had sex before but he knew she would want to know who even if it wasn't Sam, he hadn't thought being good in bed would ever be a bad thing yet here he was, Freddie let out a light chuckle as he thought of all the crap that had been happening to him.

"Freddie?" Carly called confused by his chuckle

"You were my first Carly, just like I've always wanted and if I'm good in bed then I guess it's just natural talent" he said giving her another kiss at the back of her neck

"-And as for me and Sam it was just one kiss you don't have to worry about it" He said trying to reassure her but he knew she'd still have her doubts

"Ok" she said in a small voice and trying to sink deeper into his arms

"So I see Liam didn't take your rejection too well" Freddie said casually

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that, he's an oversized asshole to take out his frustrations on you"

"Don't be its not like you told him to try take a crack at me"

"I know but still it's my fault he came after you, maybe I should have let him down easy"

"No its fine, besides I can take care of myself, I had him just where I wanted him if Sam hadn't shown up, I'd have taken out the trash" that sent them both into a fit of laughs and giggles.

"I'm sure you did, my little bad boy" Carly said in a low voice dosing off

Freddie assumed they were done talking as he felt her breathing slow even out. Closing his eyes and breathing in her scent, he silently wished that they could stay like this forever, but that was only wishful thinking, he'd have to leave in a few hours and return to the reality that was his life.

"So..."

"MmmMh."

"How's the big love issue coming along?"

"The what?"

"The...*sigh* the problem with Freddie, we haven't talked about it since..."

"There's no problem, I was just…really stressed out don't worry about it"

"You know you can talk to me Mari, you don't have to keep it all inside"

"It was nothing really, there's nothing to tell"

"It didn't sound like nothing"

"Can we please just drop it, everything's ok now ok?"

"Fine, just know I'm here for you when you need me"

"Ok"

With that the pair fell into a silence, Ellen contemplating if and how she should push for more information on Marissa's breakdown and Marissa thinking of ways to put her friends worry to rest.

"So I'm having a barbecue with the kids on tomorrow, you should come and bring Freddie, I haven't seen him in a while" Ellen said in a natural voice

"Sure that should be fun, and it will be good to get Freddie away from Carly and Sam for once, he spends too much time with those girls"

"Great, Sarah will be more willing to come if Freddie's coming she loves iCarly"

"Yeah, Great" Marissa said trying not to show the scrawl that formed on her face

"Well I have to go check on Mrs. Twain, I'll see you later"

Marissa was glad that Ellen had invited her and Freddie over for the weekend; she could kill two birds with one stone, with her and Freddie at Ellen's she could show Ellen that everything was alright between her and Freddie. The other reason she had agreed to go was to keep Freddie away from Carly, she wasn't sure what was going between them but she wouldn't take any chances of losing Freddie to that tramp, so she would keep Freddie away from Carly as much as she could.

Puckett Residence

Walking into her house Sam released an involuntary gasp as she took in the appearance of the place, the living room was organized and no junk was littering the floor as she had left it in the morning. A sense of curiosity took over as she heard faint sound of scrapping coming from the kitchen, unconsciously she moved into the kitchen following the sound. Sam had a puzzled look on her face as the man from earlier this morning stood in front of her wrestling with a skillet she herself always found hard to get clean.

"What's going on?" Sam asked from the kitchen entrance

Breaking out of his battle with the skillet Mike turned to stare at a puzzled Sam "Oh hey, Uhm well I guess this looks a bit strange huh" he said giving her a slightly embarrassed look

"A bit, where's my mom?"

"I think she's at work"

"You think?" Sam said raising an eyebrow

"Well I haven't seen her since leaving this morning, when I knocked on the door and no one answered and I assumed she was out or at work"

"So how did you get in?"

"I sort of let my self in"

"You mean you broke in?"

"No I mean I let my self in, breaking in would mean I had bad intensions when I came in" he said with a shrug

"So what are you doing here?"

"You looked like you were ready to off yourself this morning looking at these dishes, so I thought I'd help with the clean up"

"Why"

"I was bored?"

"Seriously?"

Shrug

"Whatever" Sam said losing interest in the situation

"Hold on, you don't expect me to do these dishes all by myself do you? I'm having enough trouble with this pan as is"

"Hey, you wanted to help" Sam said with a smirk

"Help, not do the whole lot by myself"

"Fine, you wash I'll dry" Sam said tossing her beg into the living room and rolling up her sleeves

Sam settled herself next to Mike and began drying some of the washed dishes, with a smile she silently shook her head at the man beside hers peculiar behavior. Breaking into someone's house to clean it up was kind of nutty but Sam was glad he was there; she needed a distraction to keep her from thinking or reliving what she had seen her best friends do some hour ago.

"So tell me Dave what do; you do for a living"

"Mike"

"What?"

"My name…its' Mike"

"Like I said it doesn't matter"

"Oook? … I own a car repair shop; Mike's auto repair shop"

"Never heard of it, shouldn't you be fixing some nubs car instead of breaking into peoples homes?"

"Well I pay people to do that for me now, so where do you go to school?"

"What? My mom didn't tell you that while you were fucking her"

"Are you always this hostile" he asked rolling his eyes finally done with the dishes on his side

"So I'm told" she said smiling at his concealment of his growing frustration

"Your mother and I didn't talk much last night, so no she didn't tell me" he said with a smirk, noticing Sam's grimace

"Ridgeway" She relented

"And how are things there?" he said leaning against the kitchen counter

"Listen-"

"What the hell is this?"Pam asked cutting Sam off

An awkward silence filled the room as Pam's eyes darted between her daughter and Mike; the silence wore down on Mike prompting him to release a cough before speaking.

"Well I guess I should explain" he said nervously

….

….

….

"I got off work early and thought I'd ask you out for dinner but you were out, so I thought I'd help Sammy here clean up until you got back, since you're here now, would you go out to dinner with me?"

"Sure" Pam said with righting herself from an approaching foul mood

"Great"

Sam drew her attention away from the two and went back to drying the dishes, Pam went upstairs to change and Mike muttered something to her before following Pam out of the kitchen. Though she had enjoyed riling up the older man she wouldn't count on seeing him again, her mother always had ways of making men disappear every time things seemed to become serious and she didn't expect this to be any different.

Pam and Mike had left hours ago and Sam knew better than to wait up for her mother, she was about to get into bed when her phone rang, checking the caller ID she found it to be Carly. The urge to smash the phone into a thousand pieces came over her but she was quick to get control over herself. Though she had no right to feel the way she was, she was finding it extremely hard to control her temper around Carly and Freddie, when Freddie had tried to talk to her today she had found it pretty hard not to scream at him. Her solution thus far was to avoid them but she couldn't do that long as the majority of her days revolved or had something to do with Carly, Freddie on the other hand seemed to be doing his share to avoidance so she hadn't had trouble with him, up until today that is.

"Sup" Sam said keeping her voice neutral

"Hey Sam its Carly"

"I know"

"Oh, about today... when you walke-"

"Its okay don't worry about it, I just wasn't expecting to see you guys like that"

"I'm sorry, I should have warned you-"

"You think?" she said with a dry laugh

"I know I Know, but in my defense I didn't plan it, it just happened….So are we ok?"

"Yeah sure go fuck like bunnies for all I care"

"I plan on it"

"So how was it" Sam said unable to deny her curiosity

"How was what "Carly said feigning ignorance

"The sex! There I said it happy now"

"I'm not sure what you mean and we make love not just sex"

"Sugar coat it if you want but when I walked in on the two of you it sure looked like more lust than love"

"The word you're looking for is passion"

"Okay fine Passion it is, so are you gonna tell me or what?"

"I don't know what to tell you *sigh* but that it was fantastic, he's incredible Sam" she said unable to hold back the giggles

"Better watch out though, I saw some of the girls checking him out when you weren't around" Sam said unable to stop herself from poisoning the waters.

"I know right" Carly said with a bit of excitement at finally having someone to express her frustrations to.

"Better keep a tight leash on Fredward" Sam said with a chuckle

"No Freddie's not like that, we talked about it and he doesn't want to fuck around with anyone but me" she said hesitantly

"I don't know if you noticed the minor changes but Freddie's changed and it's not like he's incapable of lying"

"Why are you being o negative Sam, you know how I get" Carly asked unable to understand why Sam was feeding her insecurity

"Sorry, just not sure if it's still the same Fredwierd were used to"

"I know but its still Freddie right?"

"I'm not sure the Freddie we know would have fucked you one day into your relationship" Sam said trying to keep as much malice as she could out of her voice.

"That was more me than him, and even if it was, Freddie would never hurt me" Carly said uncertainly

"If you say so Carls, I'll talk to you tomorrow"

"Ok goodnight"

"Goodnight" Sam said cutting off the call

Sam exhaled a sigh feeling slight guilt for feeding Carly's insecurities, but what she had said wasn't entirely untrue, Freddie had been talking too openly with Malika. Sam killed the lights in her room and went to bed thinking she had nothing to feel guilty about, any good relationship was built on trust and if Carly and Freddie's didn't survive then, it was never meant to be.
