JUSTUFF: Hello everyone! And I bet you are excited to see Sam find out! And will this increase their love…Oh, and I have a chapter that will probably surprise/shock you guys later on so stay tuned!!! Oh, and, I can't forget to say this…please review! I know all of us authors say that, but we work hard, and we get nervous about our stories! OK, now, without further waiting, here is iKnow Now, a pretty long chapter!
Sam's POV
I have Freddie's prank all ready to go for when he wakes up. Boy, will he be surprised! I chuckled silently as I left the hotel, watching Freddie sleep so unsuspiciously.
When I jogged outside, I saw Antonio, again on his motorcycle. He was like dream. I sighed. "Sam, are you ready for breakfast in the park?" I was pushed out of my thoughts.
"Ye-yeah," I stammered, "Let's hit it."
"Yes, let's," He said, with that accent I loved so much. I grabbed his waist, and asked him, "So, where are we having breakfast?"
"Somewhere." He answered. And since that was good enough for me, we left off into another trip in Rome.
We arrived at the Trevi Fountain. I remember him telling me about it on our first date here in Rome.
"Remember it?" Antonio asked excitedly, jumping off of his bike.
"Of course!" I said, staring at the magnificent water inside the cement outer crust. Then, something came into my mind. "It's not illegal, right? I already have a bad record, and, plus, I can't be in Italian Prison. I have to get home, you know." He chuckled.
"Yes, I understand," He said, gleaming which showed his flawless, perfect white teeth. "It's not illegal. I promise." He said, sitting down, then patting the area besides him. I smiled as I sat down on the area he had patted on.
We ate and talked and laughed and bonded. If he wasn't my boyfriend by now, he was definetly a close friend. He reminded me of Freddie…not the boyfriend part the friend part. I guess that's why he went all ballistic on me. He was probably jealous that he had no one to hang out with in Rome and I did. I think he thought that I was…well, simply…replacing him.
After me and Antonio finished our breakfast, we grabbed a tiny bit of the water from the fountain and splashed each other's faces to cool down. After that, he had another big surprise for me. He really was spontaneous and exciting. It really…oh, I don't know…fits my style. But anyways, his big surprise was to take me around the whole city, meet some people, and learn what it's like to control the motorcycle. We did this all day, and then, he took me to watch the sunset. We held each other's hands as we watched it set so beautifully. Then, we had a little…conversation…
"Sam?"
"Yes?" I said looking back at him so relaxed.
"I want to give you a gift." I was so happy and excited, but somehow still relaxed. He pulled out a glorious pink bracelet, which had fine beads on it…pink. Well, I thought, it's not bad…
"Why are you giving me this?" I questioned.
"Well, because, I…I love you." Now I wasn't relaxed. In love? With me? I couldn't believe it! He wasn't asking me if I loved him or not for a stupid bet! HE LOVED ME! I wished Freddie was here, because I knew that Freddie was…
"Do you love me?"
…Right?
Oh, my God, I thought, Freddie was right! And I set up a prank, and I yelled at him…
But I knew how to get Antonio. I AM Sam, Master Pranker, who just pulled that prank on Freddie.
"Yes, I do," I lied. I thought about something right there on the spot. "Let's go ride somewhere on your motorcycle."
He shrugged. "Why not?" And by this I was COMPLETELY SURE that Freddie was right because he didn't have that Heaven Glow in his voice anymore. His voice, was, well…a player's.
Anyways, he went on the motorcycle, and I pretended like I was going to get on, but instead, I grabbed him and flipped him over!
"Wh-" He started to ask. "What was that for?"
"For tricking me." I stated. Now I was giving him that smile I used to give Freddie whenever I pranked him…(Gasp) Freddie!
"How did I trick you Honey?" He said in that Angel Choir voice again. Well, I wasn't fooled/love struck this time.
I punched him in the face, jumped on his motorcycle, and left. Thank God he had taught me how to ride a motorcycle! I knew exactly where the hotel was. I wasn't THAT far away. I drove there thinking, just thinking…and that's not like I am except when/how I was with Antonio. Yeah…WAS. I never thought I'd say it either!
When I got into the room I saw soap sprawled everywhere with glue and meat. Oh, yeah, I thought. My prank.
I was about to throw that stupid Antonio bracelet away, when something caught my eye. In the trash can. There was a flower. No one had been in our room since we got here, and I had never seen it before…I picked it up, and threw the stupid bracelet in there, so hard, all the little pink jewels that made it up sprawled all along the metal trash can. But I studied it. It was a rose…it meant more than friends…
Freddie walked up to me, smeared with soap, covered in raw meat, and drowned with white glue. I quickly hid the flower behind my back while it was in my right hand.
"Sam!" He exclaimed, "Why'd you do this to me?!"
"I'm sorry, it was payback for yesterday, and I'm sorry…"
"Is Antonio still your prince?" He said, a little calmer.
I was silent for a moment. "No…"
"I was right, wasn't I?" He questioned.
"Well, yes, but…"
"Yeah, I thought so. But who'd you poor with raw meat, soap, and glue?" He asked again.
"You." I stated fragily and tenderly.
"And WHO deserved it instead of me?"
I mumbled, "Antonio."
And he and I were silent. Until…
"Look, Sam," He sighed. "I love you. I love you OK? But I can't believe you did this to me." I just stared at him, and, out of frustration, he turned and left. I knew Freddie had given that to me now. Wow, two loves in one day, but I had zero in 5 years…little overwhelmed…I should've worn something cuter…
But anyways, I know I should've apologized about Antonio. And I know I should've apologized about yelling at him when we were on that walk…and when we were on that walk…there was just something, something, oh, I don't know, magical about it. I felt butterflies, I felt something that I never felt before, not even with Antonio, and that's why I don't know any other way to explain it…Carly probably did though, she's probably been in love many times…I guess Freddie got over that crush…man, I got rid of the triangle part, but not one bit of the love part.
And I know I should've chased after him. I should've done all of that, but I didn't do anything. Instead, I just stood there in shock. And unlike Antonio, he actually meant it, what he had said.
And that's exactly what surprised and shocked me the most.
I looked at the flower I had hid behind my back that whole entire conversation. It wasn't pink, like Antonio's stupid bracelet. It was red…
Like my favorite color.
So did you love it? Do you love the part about Sam flipped Antonio off his bike? I got that idea from a certain reviewer, Xxa-little-cookiexX, so thank you for that idea! I saw that idea and immediately started cracking up! Ha ha!
Now…Review!
Bye Homie Z's,
