Chapter 7 (Sam's POV) Kissing a Reuben
''Sweet baby Jesus! This is so ironic!" I yelled.
''What's ironic?'' Freddie asked.
''We're in the middle of the ocean, looking for water!" I answered Freddie who raised his eyebrows at me, obviously not getting what I said.
''We're rounded by water and we're thirsty!" I explained.
''That's a good point.'' said Reuben who was walking on my right side. Freddie was on the left and I was in the middle.
''That's it. We have to take a break. I'm tired...'' I whined. Freddie led Reuben and me to some rocks which we sat down on.
That's when it started. Freddie went behind some trees to 'do his buisness', leaving me and Reuben alone. Reuben inched closer to me with a goofy smile on his face. I had a weird look on my face sent to Reuben who was getting closer to me every second. He put his hand gently on my cheek as my eyes opened wide. On the other hand, his eyes were already closed. Great! This was all I needed right now! A weird boy kissing me!
I had no idea why, but I didn't do anything about it. Next thing I felt were his warm lips connecting with mine. It... It felt... Right. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth to the feeling of his tongue tracing my bottom lip. I could feel him smiling against my lips. His tongue entered my mouth as I felt butterflies in my stomach. He slowly moved his hand from my cheek to my waist. I was surprised by the fact he was so gentle with me. Cause no one ever was. I put my hand on his elbow holding it tight, wishing this moment would never end.
Someone actually wanted me. Me! Sam Puckett! I never wanted to let go. Our lips slowly stopped moving, but we didn't pull away. Not just yet. I moved my hand to his shoulder as I lightly parted my lips so I could place the last tender kiss on his lips. He rested his forehead on top of mine. I put my hand on the back of his neck pulling him in for another, short but sweet, kiss.
I still couldn't believe this happened.
Freddie's POV
I went out from behind the trees only to find Sam and Reuben kissing. Emptiness washed over me. Sam didn't seem to fight or protest. She was actually enjoying the kiss. I sighed quietly, turning around and dissapearing in the wild jungle. I wanted to be the guy Sam would be kissing. Shattered. That was how I felt.
Sam's POV
It's been a while since I've seen Dorkward. Hopefully, a snake bit him... Now's not the time for jokes, Sam!
''Hey, where do you think Fredweird is?'' I asked Reuben staring into his dark eyes. We still didn't completely move away from each other.
''I don't know. Maybe he met another orangutan.'' he said with a wide smirk spreading across his face. I couldn't help but laugh, too.
''Seriously'' I said when I stopped laughing ''Maybe something happened to him.''
''Okay, I'll go see if there's anything wrong.'' he said before placing another kiss on my lips and walking away.
Wow, that was a weird feeling. But also nice. Kissing Reuben. I put my index finger over my lips. They were still damp from the kissing. I smiled at the thought of it. Reuben came back with a worried look on his face.
''He's not there.'' he said.
''What do you mean he's not there?!'' I said getting up.
''FREDDIE!!!" I yelled to the top of my lungs. No answer. This was bad. This was really bad.
Reuben's POV
Whoa. I kissed the girl of my dreams. She kissed me back! But there was a problem. Freddie's missing. Sam dragged me through the jungle shouting Freddie's name over and over again. She seemed very upset.
~a few hours later~
We were running for a long time now. We stopped so Sam could rest. She stood in front of me, breathing heavily.
''Sam, are you okay?" I asked placing my hand on her shoulder from behind.
''No, I'm not okay. We can't survive without him, Reuben.'' she said turning around. Her eyes were starting to water. I didn't know what else to do so I pulled her in for a hug, putting my hands around her waist. She burried her face into my chest, holding me tighter.
''Come on. Let's go find a place to sleep. It's getting dark.'' I suggested. She looked up and nodded. We walked for another five minutes until I spotted a cave.
I pointed to it so Sam could see it. Suddenly, we heard a thunder. Then, the rain started falling. I dragged Sam to the cave as fast as possible. By the time we got there we were a bit wet. I saw Sam was shaking.
''Wait here. I'll go get some wood before it gets too wet.'' I told her and she nodded.
Sam's POV
Reuben came back after a few minutes, carrying just a few logs. They were a bit damp, but I guessed we could still light them up. I took two rocks and started hitting them against each other above the wood Reuben had brought. It didn't work. Reuben gently took the rocks from my hands. I'm gonna have to get used to the tenderness. He somehow managed to put on the fire. I didn't see how he did that, cause I was too busy studying his face.
He put the rocks down and noticed me staring at him so he smiled to himself. I was still shaking cause of how cold it was. Reuben saw that so he came closer to me and hugged me. We leaned against one of the cave walls and settled watching the rain falling.
''Reuben?'' I called. He turned his head to look at me.
''I like it when you talk normally.'' I said smiling. He smiled, too. He leaned in and placed a slow peck on my lips and then backed away, looking straight into my eyes. I pulled him closer and placed my lips on his, once again. He kissed me softly and I enjoyed it very, very much. No one was ever this mild with me. I didn't know if it was him or the tenderness I fell in love with.
I know this was short and there's wasn't much Seddie but this chapter is the key ingredient for making Seddie happen. I don't know why, but I find Sam/Reuben relationship very cute. Anyway, I hope you don't hate me now that I made Seuben (Sam/Reuben) happen and that you will continue reading this story. I promise there will be no Seuben in the next chapter. So, please review!
