Sweet Escape

chapter 2

Freddie's Pov

I'm so ecstatic to know that Brad's back in Seattle again. He's been like a brother to me since he started as iCarly's intern a few years back but he has to go moved in Portland because his dad's work was based there. And now that he's back, I can't help but feel excited to see him. I'll so brag to him my new car. I miss having a bestfriend. I know, there's Gibby but he's a Gibby and we barely hang because too..well...engrossed with Carly like he follows her everywhere. He's even much worst than me when I had a small crush on Carly when we're kids.

Speaking of them, they're again...snuggled and giggling in the middle of the studio. I roll my eyes and look over Sam who has a disgust look on her face. We're not hypocrite to say at least. I have to admit Sam and I are very clingy with each other and can't keep our hands off to ourselves but it's not like we do a lot of PDAs when some people are in the room.

"Can you guys knock it off. You make me want to puke blood." Sam broke the silence and an annoyed look on her face."I thought we're supposed to be rehearsing? or should Freddie and I be the audience of your obvious PDA?"

Carly blush and pull away from Gibby's arms and he pouts to her.

"Don't be a hypocrite Sam. It's not like you and Freddie never did this." Gibby said.

I saw Sam glare and step towards him. Carly bit her lip and looked worried. With Sam, you never know when she'll pounce on you so you have to be careful of your actions or words thrown to her if you value your life.

"Nice choice of words, Gibson. And to answer that. NO. Freddie and I never do PDA because we have respect on people around us. Something you two have lacked of since the day you dated." she cross her arms and lean her weight on her other hip and glare."So, are we going to rehearse or what? Coz I have better plans to do than this cheap junk."

I watch as Carly bows her head in embarrassment and Gibby frown. I almost smirk. My baby's so right. We never do PDAs like that. Just a holding of hands and pecks.

"We're sorry, Sam. Why don't..why don't we start already?" Carly said stuttering. I can see that she's a bit scared of Sam right now but I'm not. Not that she doesn't scare me anymore, trust me she still does, but the thing is, I know my baby girl than anyone does and I know that right now that she's trying her best to put a poker face because she's irritated whenever they do that.

We start to rehearse for the show, the two girls throw playful jabs at each other and add something on their index cards whenever something good pops in their mind. So far, its great. Funnier and goofier than our previous webshows and the two lovebirds tried to distance at each other whenever Sam looks at them beginning to get close and comfortable again. I have to keep my amusement as the two looked like walking on eggshells.

After the show, Sam demanded that I should bring her to the Groovy Smoothies and buy her food.

I told her to seat over our usual spot whilst I order us food. I bought us large strawberry splat, large triple deluxe hamburger with extra cheese and large fries. I grab the tray from the corner and walk towards her. I set the food in the table and she began to devour it in nano seconds.

You must think after all these years, being the owner of a well known restaurant in town, she'll drop the whole bad eating habits, well..you all thought wrong. I think if actually became worst or better if you ask her. I really am thinking of taking her to a doctor for a check-up. Nah, I still want to get married with complete set of body parts.

We were in the middle eating - Sam munching all the edible things in the tray and even took my own food which I didn't put a fight on - when someone walk towards our table.

"Still have that kind of eating habits I see." a familiar voice rang and we both look up to see, none other than out intern, my bestfriend...

Brad.

He was wearing a smirk and an amuse look on his face as he look at the half-eaten burger, melted cheese dripping out as Sam hold it on her hand. I guess both our eyes are wide and I can definitely pick our jaws on the floor.

"BRAD!" Sam almost screech and I have to cover my ears i n order to save my eardrums for being violated by the blonde's voice.

Brad smile widely at her as she leapt on her spot and throw her arms around his neck. In this kind of situation, I most definitely rip Sam's body away from the guy but knowing its our friend. I let her have it her way, pushing my cave man self and prevent myself from getting jealous.

"Brad" I said calmly, nodding my head in his direction as I stand up behind Sam.

Sam finally push herself away and stand just beside me. Brad look at the both of us for a second before his eyes narrow at our closeness.

Weird

"Since when did you came back here in Seattle?" Sam asked.

"Just this Monday, I didn't bother to show myself to you guys because I want it to be surprised." he said."I miss you, you blondy." he adds, smiling cheekily at Sam, ruffling her hair, Sam punch his arms.

"Meh."

"Wow. Its good that you're back."

"Why don't we sit down? I still have a food to finish." Sam suggested with a raise eyebrow.

"Sure." Brad answered.

Sam took a seat next to me and Brad sat at Sam's previous spot. I can tell that he's a bit confused.

He did left for Portland knowing Sam and I broke up for good, so seeing the two of us spending time with each other and me, still alive for even being this close to Sam undoubtedly surprised him.

"So.." he trails, not leaving his eyes away from us. I gotta admit, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable with all his weird looks.

"How's Portland?" I finally asked.

"Good." He simply answered, a bit fast like he's not here for chit chats about his recent life in the said place."Anything new? You guys want to share with me since its been a long time?"

I knit my eyebrows at his snappy question and glance over Sam who seems too busy slurping down her half-full smoothie.

"Nothing new or good. Same 'ol, same 'ol." she shrug nonchalant."Are you still be drinking that?" she point to my abandoned smoothie in hand.

"No, you can have it."

"Thanks, baby." this made Brad's eyes to narrow and his face looks hardened.

"Baby?" he scoff bitterly.

What's his problem?

"Oh, yeah. Freddie and I got back together when you left." she simply stated like it doesn't affect the guy in front of us.

He pursed his lips and shook his head submissively.

"Congratulations." he comments, I hear, disgustingly.

Okay, something is definitely up with him.
