We need to avoid them two. Carly and Gibby. They look so happy and romantic! If they see us, it'll ruin the moment.
The only thing is they're sat in the middle of the park.
And I don't want to tell Freddie that we're avoiding them, either. He seems to have a perfect little night planned out, and knowing that this wasn't what I wanted to do would just crush him.
He thought that I was hinting on us doing this, not Carly and Gibby.
I guess it could work out. If he does tell me he loves me tonight, I might just say it back.
The Flubadubs have been a big part of my life recently, but I think I might have matured since the beginning of the summer holidays. With my feelings for Freddie, of course.
I think I might love him.
Maybe.
If Freddie is able to love me, I think I'll be able to love him too-
"Sam!"
"Yeah?"
"You spaced out for a moment… you okay?"
"Yeah. Just thinking. So… Do you want to go to the other side of the park?" Away from Gibby and Carly?
"Why? I think it's nice here."
"It's too busy; I'd prefer it to be a bit quieter. It'll be romantic!" He has to agree…
"That's not actually a bad idea. Shall we go to that side?" Nope. That'll make us pass Carly and Gibby.
"We'll go this way."
He seems okay with me leading the way.
Awww, this has really been the perfect night. I have no idea how Carly's went but that doesn't, matter right now. There has been Fat Cakes, and stars, romance, Flubaflirting, and even one session of Fluba-making-out.
Amazing.
"I wonder how Freddie and Carly's night went." Ok. Was perfect. Freddie knows that those two are here?
"Huh?"
"Sam. I know you know they're here. I know you didn't actually plan this." I can still play dumb.
"What do you mean, Freddie?"
"Sam. You came to me to get an idea for them two's perfect night."
I give up. "How do you know?"
"Sam. I know you way too well. I could tell by the way you were acting all awkward, avoiding Gibby and Carly in the park, and I can just tell anyway. You wouldn't give hints like that." Well that boys got me all sussed out, hasn't he? "What I want to know is why you didn't stop me."
Now that, I can't answer. "I don't know…"
"Maybe you wanted me to tell you I loved you?"
"No, I… Wait a minute. If you knew I was talking about Carly and Gibby, why did you still bring me?" Hah. "Maybe you wanted to tell me you loved me?"
"Sam, I…"
"I think we both need to sort out these Flubadubs, don't we?"
"Yeah… I mean I guess they helped us realise we had some kind of attraction towards each other."
"But I shouldn't like you. You're a dork!"
"I'm going to ignore that whilst I continue." That boy sure has a lot of patience. "I never knew about the Flubadubs before you told me that I had them that time in California. Before that, I had only just accepted that I had a crush on you; though I wouldn't have told you at the time. When you explained the Flubadubs, I didn't really believe there could be such a thing, but went along with it anyway. It was over time that I got used to the idea. But now, I don't know, I think it's maybe possible that that crush is still there. Maybe even more…"
Wow.
I never knew he felt that way…
That was deep. Though logical…
"Freddie…"
"Can I just kiss you? Not a Flubakiss or any of that chiz. Just a nice, normal, kiss. If it feels as good as the Flubakisses, then maybe we do have something." That's not a bad idea.
"Okay."
Is he going to lean down or should I go up?
It seems he decided to lean down. Since when was he that tall? Since when was I this small?
Well, I think this answers the question.
This feels even better than the Flubakisses. It feels more… pure? Less like I'm just lying to myself.
Urg. I guess this does mean I like Freddie. As in, nothing to do with the Flubadubs.
Prober like.
I have an actual crush on Freddie Benson.
A normal people crush.
On Freddie.
See what the Flubadubs have don-
I need to stop blaming everything on the Flubadubs.
This may get a while to get used to.
"Wow."
"I know…"
"I think I might like you, Freddie. Like, have a normal crush on you… Oh, chiz. What have I done? This wasn't supposed to happen to me! I'm supposed to fall for the bad boy! Not the nerd that I've been picking on since 6th grade!"
"Sam, it is okay!"
"No, its not."
"Sam, it doesn't matter about what other people think. Its what you think. If you like me, and I like you, I think we should consider normally dating. But if you seriously don't want to, then that's fine. We could go back to just being the best of friends."
"The Flubadubs were just so easy though! There wasn't all this confusing stuff to think about."
"But they were not real and you know it!"
"Yeah. So…"
"Do you want to try a real relationship?"
"Like real girlfriend and boyfriend?"
"Yep."
"Not until you ask me out properly, nub."
"Will you, Samantha Puckett, take me, Fredward Benson, to be your boyfriend?"
"Way too cheesy, dork."
"Be my GF, Sam mate."
"Benson, that was uncool." Though quite funny. "And not good enough."
"Sam, will you be my girlfriend?" Okay, the kiss that he added at the end defiantly bought me.
"Yes. I will."
Cue girly chat with Carly.
Cue Seddiers going ballistic.
Cue me and Freddie being interrogated at school.
Cue Melanie interrogating me, too.
Cue Creddiers not being so pleased.
Cue me having the best boyfriend I have ever had.
Cue me falling in love.
A/N – Sorry this chapter took so long. I have been at work, getting ready for school starting again, and I really wanted this chapter to be perfect.
I was thinking that this could be the last one, but I don't know now.
I just don't want the story to end!
So I may do a few more chapters. I have no idea what will happen, but I'm sure I can think of something. I don't really want anything dramatic (eg. Breaking up, then getting back together again), I just want a nice sweet ending. Any ideas?
Thanks for the amazing reviews – I can't believe I reached 100!
Daisy:D
