A/N: Okay so here's the next chap of iJe T'aime. Enjoy.

Warmth

Freddie phone rang. We awoke and sleepily search his bedside table for his elusive phone. When he finally found it, he switched off the annoying alarm. He glanced at the time, seeing that it was around ten that night. At first he wondered why he had set an alarm to wake him up at that time but as the drowsiness wore off, he remembered he was supposed to video chat with Carly.

He looked over at Sam. Her back was to him and wrapped tightly in the thick blanket. He wondered how she could have slept through the chaos that took place just mere moments ago. He smiled and got out of bed. He picked up his laptop and turned it on, making sure not to wake Sam up, even though he knew that if his phone didn't wake her, he most probably wouldn't.

The screen of his laptop lit up, illuminating the dimly lit room. He noticed the closed curtains and walked over to it. He flung it open only to see an amazing view. The now dark city was lit up by thousands of lights. The Eiffel Tower, standing in the background, lit from top to bottom. He took in the sight for a while. He knew he wouldn't get to see this everyday, being that summer days in Paris lasted from 6 in the morning to around 9.30 in the night.

He walked back to his laptop which was fully booted up by now. He searched for a wireless network with the hotels name on it. Another reason why he liked this hotel was that it provided free wireless internet access. He finally found the network and connected to it, using the password given by the receptionist.

He brought up his instant messenger and logged in. he scrolled through the names on the page and found Carly's. She was already logged on and waiting for Freddie to come online. He clicked her name and clicked the button for video chat. Soon Carly's picture came onto the screen. He hair was damp, suggesting she got out of the shower not to long ago.

"Hey Carls." Freddie said.

"Freddie…Why can't I see you?" Carly asked. Freddie realised that the room was really dark and the webcam may not have been able to pick a picture.

"Oh hold on." Freddie turned on the lamp beside him. "Better?" he asked.

"Much. So how's Paris so far?" Carly asked, shifting in her seat.

"Not much, we have been in the hotel the whole day."

"And what about Sam?" Freddie tilted the camera to show a sleeping Sam.

"That answer your question? Anyway, what has been going on in Seattle?" Freddie asked.

"Well you've only been gone for a day. Spencer and I haven't really done anything but you mom…" Carly trailed off.

"Oh no what has she done now?" Freddie asked.

"Oh nothing really, she just been hanging here a lot. She even asked if she could sleep over. How weird is that. She says the house is lonely without you."

"Well?" Freddie asked.

"Well what?"

"Did you let her sleep over?"

"No why?"

"Oh no reason." He actually was relieved. Whenever she stayed over at anyone's house, she'd bring along his baby photos and home videos which is extremely embarrassing, and missing him so much probably doesn't help.

"Okay…anyway, can I talk to Sam?" Carly asked.

"Yeah sure…that is if I can wake her up." Freddie said leaning over to Sam's side of the bed to wake Sam up. Fortunately she woke quite easily. "Hey Sam, Carly want's to talk to you."

"Carly? I thought we were in France, when did Carly get here?" Sam asked still very dazed.

"I mean she's on the computer. She wants to talk to you."

"Huh, computer? Oh right." Sam said, finally snapping out of her confused state. She sat upright and brought the laptop to her lap.

"Hey Carls." Sam said rubbing her eyes.

"Hey Sam. You know, for the first time in a long time, my fridge is not empty." Carly said jokingly.

"Haha very funny. Speaking of food, Freddie, can you get me a fat cake?" Sam asked.

"Sure." Freddie said and walked out of the room and proceeded to the hall where all their snacks were laid out on the coffee table. He went over and grabbed a fat cake. As he approached the bedroom door, he heard Sam whispering, to Carly. He knew it was rude but decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Carly, I don't know. I mean yes I like him but not the way he likes me. At least not yet. But I mean, you should have seen him on the plane flight and everything. He was being so nice to me. If he keeps this up, I may very well, like him more." There was a slight pause as Carly started speaking. Freddie couldn't make out what she was saying since the sound from the computer was muffled. "But I mean, I don't know if it is a good thing. We always fight and I don't know how this will end."

Freddie realised that Carly had actually asked Sam it that was so bad, her starting to like me. "Oh Sam, I will do whatever I can I win you." Freddie thought to himself. He then turned the doorknob and walked in. There was a hint of panic in Sam's face when Freddie walked in but she hid it well, quickly changing the subject with Carly.

Sam woke up in bed. The room was dark and Freddie was slightly snoring on his side of the bed. Despite the thick blanket encasing her, she was feeling really cold. "It's summer and yet I feel so cold." She thought to herself. She glanced at the clock. It was currently 3.24 in the night.

She curled up into a ball, hoping that by doing so it will conserve some heat, but it failed. She wanted to get up to find the thermostat but knew that if she exited the cover of the blanket, a wave of cold would consume her. She tried her luck, sticking one foot out of the blanket. The cold made Goosebumps appear on her skin. She contemplated on bearing the cold for a while to find the thermostat but she had no idea where it was and she was never a very observant girl.

She looked over at Freddie, who looked so happy in his sleep. She knew she shouldn't but the cold was killing her. "I don't want to give him the wrong idea. Plus what about the deal I made with him." Sam thought. She didn't want to break the deal of him staying on his side of the bed. "Well technically, if he didn't cross the line, the deal wouldn't be broken. I mean it didn't say anything about me crossing the line now did it." Sam thought.

The cold seemed to get stronger and she couldn't take it anymore. She scooted her body closer to Freddie's. She could feel the warmth radiating off of him as she got closer. There was only an inch between her and Freddie now. At first she was contented with the sufficient warmth but suddenly as if taunting her, it suddenly got colder. "Oh come on, I'm on the edge of crossing certain boundaries I shouldn't already. Why must you torment me?" Sam mentally screamed at the cold.

She looked over at Freddie once again and heard him still snoring. She sighed and moved closer to Freddie, leaving nothing between them. Sam however, liked the feeling. She could help but wrap an arm around Freddie. She felt comfortable. The cold disappeared and she could finally go back to sleep.

A/N: okay hope you liked that chap. I felt it was very sweet. It felt so sweet that I think I might get diabetes just writing it. Lol. Anyway I actually wanted Freddie to wake up while she was scooting closer but then realised it would be too awkward for Sam so I didn't do it. Tell me if you think this is better or Freddie waking up better.

Also, I'm sorry that this story seems to be moving so slowly. I'm sorry. I'm having trouble writing when they finally go out of the hotel, cuz a have no idea what the streets of Paris is like now. The human traffic and all those stuff, so if you have anything that might help me out please tell me. Especially if you've been to Paris recently or you are from france.

Hope you liked it and please review.
