Chapter 15 (Double Dating)
Sam woke and found Emily sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast, she smiled and sat down with her. "Good morning Sam," Emily said while smiling.
"Hey Ms. Benson, how are you?"
"I'm good." Emily took a bite of the cereal she was eating and swallowed. "You know, I got to thinking about something the other night…" Sam raised her eyebrow as Emily picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth. "Whenever you call me Ms. Benson, it makes me sound old. You're practically married to my son, so are you going to call me that for the rest of your life?" Sam laughed lightly and crossed her arms.
"Well, you are like a mom to me, but that might sound weird…maybe I can call you Emily?"
"Either one is fine, dear." Emily smiled at Sam and took a drink of her milk. "As long as it's not Ms. Benson or anything else that makes me feel old. Under this roof, don't call me that…" Sam and Emily both laughed and leaned back in their chairs.
"Okay mom, we have a deal." Sam smiled and moved over to give Emily a hug. "Freddie and I are going to talk to Jonah and Valerie, by the way."
"Oh, I hope it goes well for you."
"Yeah, I think they'll be very accepting. I mean, they are our best friends!"
"Keep in mind, Carly's your best friend too, but that damn grandfather of hers has her wrapped around his wrinkly little finger." Emily sneered and Sam merely frowned. "That damn father of hers isn't much better, the spineless coward…"
"I'm sorry." Emily shook her head and smiled at Sam.
"Don't worry, just be on your way and have fun, you don't want to be late for school!" Sam nodded and ran off, missing the tear rolling down Emily's face. "Damn you, Robert…"
-NEW SCENE-
"Now I have to be pushy when I act jealous?" Freddie asked as he raised his eyebrow. He and Sam were sitting in the back end of the library, where nobody could see them and people rarely went to. "Why do you want to give her the image of me being jealous?" Sam sighed and rested her face in her hands as she placed her elbows on the table.
"I don't know," Sam said in a quiet voice. "I just don't want to act like a bitch, and here I think I am. I mean, did I just build up false hopes in my best friend?" Sam placed her hands on the table and groaned loudly, she didn't want to be the bad guy. Freddie smiled at her and placed his hand on top of hers. She shifted her eyes from the table and looked into his soft and comforting eyes. "I mean, I feel so bad…"
"Sam, you not wanting to be a bitch already shows that you aren't. If you were one, you wouldn't even care. Hell, you would most likely tell Carly straight in her face that she couldn't have me." Sam sighed and Freddie continued to caress her hand with his. "Believe me, you wanting to help her find another guy is not acting like a bitch. Not only that, you have a right, you're afraid of what Carly would say if you were to tell her we're supposed to get married. Guess what, I don't know if you had much choice other than to tell her that looking at other guys would make me jealous…because if you had simply said look at other guys and forget about me, she might have figured something out."
"I guess so. You know, that was actually pretty fun this morning." Sam smiled and Freddie gave a brief nod, he enjoyed that moment as well. "I don't think I've ever gotten that much of a thrill from something so secret. I mean, Spencer could have walked in at any time if he had awakened, and Carly…well she turned the shower off early. It was just really thrilling. Also, last night was fun too, I mean, the way you came in like that, I didn't even know we were role playing until a little bit after you entered!"
"I'm glad to please you." Freddie smirked and raised an eyebrow suggestively. "I'm also glad to seduce you." Sam laughed and Freddie lifted her hand, kissing it with his lips. "So, do you feel better now?"
"Yes, I do."
"You know what? I know Jake and his girlfriend had split up, how would you like me to talk to him about Carly? I know that since he broke up with Stephanie, he has told me that he thought Carly was attractive. If she knows he thinks she's attractive, then maybe she'll get a little crush on him."
"Would you seriously subject one of your best friends to that? Not that it's bad or anything, I just think you wouldn't want to do that."
"No, I feel it's fine, especially since he told me he thought she was good looking. Yet, I know his ex girlfriend and he had a great standing relationship, so there's still a chance that they could get back together." Freddie chuckled and leaned back in his chair. "Now I know why they say not to meddle in the affairs of love and romance, but we need to get Carly to stop crushing on me. In fact, getting her a boyfriend would help considerably."
"Yeah, it would, and I know a lot of guys actually like her." Sam looked over and frowned when she spotted a clock, class would be starting soon. "I'm going to leave now, I'll see you in class."
"Yep, see you then." Sam leaned over the table and kissed Freddie's lips, she couldn't get enough of his kisses. Freddie watched as Sam slowly stood up and started to walk away, she turned around and waved at him before turning back and leaving. He closed his eyes and let out a small sigh, he wondered how different things would be if their relationship were to be tolerable.
He stood up from the table and started walking away, thinking about how he must be the luckiest man in the world. He saw how some people looked at Sam, but they could never have her. She would reject them all, but only because she loved him and would never stray. Freddie placed his hands in his pocket and smiled as he left the library, he glanced down the hall and saw Jonah walking in his direction. Jonah spotted him and quickly walked to him.
"Hey dude," Jonah said while grinning. "How are you?"
"I'm fine, but I do have a request for you." Jonah raised his eyebrow and Freddie folded his arms over his chest. "I would like you and Valerie to meet me at Hunan after school, say…around five. It's going to be a double date with me and the greatest girl in the universe."
"Oh, don't tell me you're making us join you as you date Carly," Jonah said while smirking. He laughed and Freddie let out a small groan. He knew full well it wasn't Carly, but he didn't mind teasing his friend about that. "So, you have a girlfriend I don't know about? Nice one, dude. I can't wait to meet her, that is…if Valerie and I haven't already met her."
"We'll see dude. See you later." Freddie smirked and walked toward class, Jonah chuckled lightly and continued to his destination. Both of them were thinking the same thing, how something great was probably going to happen after school. After all, double dating for the first time was definitely interesting, and they were going to the greatest Chinese buffet restaurant ever. Well, at least Hunan was their favorite place to eat, everybody could be satisfied. All they had to do was make it through a boring school day.
-NEW SCENE-
Freddie entered Hunan and walked over to the hostess, she looked up at him and smiled as he held up four fingers. "There are going to be four of us, it's a double date," Freddie said while smiling. "My date hasn't arrived yet, she and I arrive separately. I am Freddie Benson, and the others know to ask for me. We would like a booth, please." The hostess smiled and grabbed for wrapped up napkins.
"Right this way, sir," The lady said as she turned around. "This will be the buffet, or do you want menu items?"
"The buffet is good."
"Okay." The hostess led him to a table and he quickly sat down. He wouldn't get his food just yet, he needed to wait on the others. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and watched the door. He waited until finally, Sam entered the doors. He smiled and she looked over at him, smiling as well. As she walked toward him, he stood up to meet her. He placed his hands on her sides and softly kissed her lips.
"Good to see you," Sam said as she sat down at the table. "Are we going to wait on Jonah and Valerie?"
"Yeah, there's no reason to begin without them." Freddie sat down across from Sam and gazed at her, admiring her beauty. Sam glanced up and smiled, she couldn't help but love when she felt his eyes upon her. The waitress came by and asked what they wanted to drink. Sam asked for water and Freddie did the same. The waitress smiled and walked off to get the drinks and Sam started to move from her seat. "Going somewhere?"
"Yeah, I have to use the bathroom. I forgot to go before coming here, sorry." Sam gave Freddie an apologetic look and Freddie merely shrugged it off. "I'll be back soon. Don't start without me."
"I won't." Sam smiled and hurried to the bathroom. Freddie looked over at the door and watched as people entered and exited. Soon, Jonah and Valerie entered the door, they looked over at him and walked toward the table. "Hey guys, I thought you two would never show up!" Jonah laughed and sat next to Freddie, the guys wanted to sit across from the girls. They enjoyed gazing at their girlfriends and partaking in their beauty.
"Yeah, so where is this beautiful and amazing girl you told me about?" Jonah smirked and raised his eyebrow. Valerie chuckled lightly and Freddie smiled, knowing Jonah was probably in for a shock.
"She's in the bathroom."
"Oh, then she shouldn't be long," Valerie stated as the waitress stepped by the table. Valerie and Jonah looked up and each asked for some water. The waitress smiled and walked off. Jonah then glanced to Valerie and raised his eyebrow.
"Have you met his girlfriend already?" Jonah asked.
"Well, you could say that. I'm sworn to secrecy, so I can't tell you until they want me to." Jonah laughed and nodded with understanding.
"Well, we did suspect Freddie had a secret girlfriend. Just who we suspected as his girlfriend…" Jonah smirked and Freddie placed his hands behind his head, closing his eyes and smiling.
"Nope, you're not getting anything out of me yet," Freddie said while grinning. He was thinking about Sam and how ravishing her beauty was. Her beauty, her personality, her smile, her eyes, and everything about her was just intoxicating to him. Jonah and Valerie stared at him for a minute and both chuckled at the sight.
"You're thinking of her right now, aren't you?"
"Yep." Freddie opened his eyes and glanced over to see Sam leaving the bathroom area. He watched her golden curls bounce with her every step. He loved watching the way her hair bounced and swept across her face, it was hypnotic. "Well you two are in luck, she's coming. My beautiful, golden haired angel…" Freddie sighed contently and watched as Sam looked toward him and smiled. Jonah glanced up and his mouth formed a smirk.
"Well I'll be damned, we were right," Jonah said triumphantly. Valerie turned her head and smiled at Sam. Sam smiled back at the group and Valerie quickly got out of the seat, letting Sam scoot in so she could sit across from Freddie. "So Freddie, you didn't want to tell your best friends that you were dating Sam? How could you leave out such a splendid detail? That means you and I are definitely the two luckiest guys in the world."
"Oh hush, Jonah," Valerie said while blushing.
"Well, I have to agree," Freddie stated while nodding. "I don't think there's another girl more beautiful than my Sam."
"No other girl more radiant than my wonderful goddess." Valerie and Sam both blushed as the waitress came by and set everyone's water on the table.
"Okay, let's go ahead and get our food. We can talk when we're back." The others nodded and walked to the buffet. The one thing they loved about Hunan that always surprised them was the restaurant served BBQ ribs. They never knew a Chinese restaurant served those, and their ribs were probably the best ribs they'd ever had. So each person made sure to get a plate of a few ribs.
Freddie and Sam both picked up their favorite item from the buffet, sweet and sour chicken. Jonah and Valerie took some orange chicken, which was their personal favorite. The couples continued to fill their plates with food, and once finished, they headed back to the table. Once they were all settled, they began their conversation. Valerie took a bite of food and then recalled the memory of walking in on Sam's date, she frowned and looked over to Sam.
"Let me guess, Freddie was that date that you had at the Cotton Patch, wasn't he?" Valerie asked while feeling ashamed of herself. Sam looked at her and shrugged.
"Don't worry about it."
"Aw, don't tell me I ruined my best friend's date," Jonah said while looking over at Freddie. Freddie chuckled nervously and shook his head.
"Nah, you guys are okay," Freddie replied. "Actually, I found the whole thing thrilling. Sam and I both laughed after we got home." Valerie placed her hand to her chest and sighed.
"Okay, I'm glad you guys forgive us," Valerie responded.
"Yeah, we'd hate to see our best friends mad at us for ruining their date," Jonah said as he lifted his food to his mouth. "So you two have been together how long?"
"Seven months," Freddie answered. "Actually, it's almost eight months now. Let's see, it's going to be eight months on Saturday. We were dating for a few months before Mom decided that we should be together and set us up for the arranged marriage. Ever since even before then, I've been falling in love with Sam." Sam smiled at Freddie and took a bite of her food, she was amazed with how he remembered it was going to be exactly eight months. She couldn't wait to see if he'd remember all those important dates. "We started dating on May 10th, and January 10th is coming up pretty soon.
"I'm impressed you actually remembered that," Sam said while grinning. "After all, isn't it true that most guys don't remember these things?"
"You'd be surprised," Jonah said while letting out a small snicker. "I don't ever forget any important dates for Valerie. After all, she's too precious to forget anything." Valerie blushed and quickly swallowed another bite of her food. Jonah smirked and gazed lovingly at his girlfriend. "Personally, I'd be afraid if I did forget something. How can you truly forget something about the one you love?"
"I don't know," Freddie replied. "I don't think it's possible to do." Sam and Valerie were both blushing hard by now, both of them were unsure of how their boyfriends could make them blush so easily.
"So, I see you worked out the argument that you two were having," Valerie said while eyeing her plate and trying to remove the blush. "How did that go?"
"You wouldn't believe it," Sam said while grinning. "He made me feel so great." Freddie leaned back and Jonah listened while taking another bite of his food. "There was this beautiful teddy bear that was surrounded by roses and also a tray of brownies were positioned with them."
"Well Freddie, I'm proud of you." Valerie said while giving off a slight laugh. "You made your girlfriend feel even more special, and right after a fight."
"Aw, it wasn't much," Freddie said while rubbing the back of his neck. Sam smiled sweetly at him and shook her head.
"No, it was everything," Sam said while taking another bite. "I mean, even after that…We cuddled and then did a role play, it was pure bliss. Then the next morning we took a risk and made out on Carly's couch…" Jonah coughed and started to laugh at that, he didn't think Freddie would ever do something as risky as that.
"Not bad my man," Jonah said while wiping his mouth with his napkin. He smiled and looked over at Sam. "So, you guys are into role playing?"
"Yeah, we like to role play every now and then. We looked online and found that role playing really helps in relationships."
"Oh, believe me, it can and it does." Jonah looked to Valerie and smirked. "You wouldn't believe how many times we've played Zorro."
"Really? I think Freddie likes to play as Edward Cullen sometimes." Freddie chuckled lightly and shrugged his shoulders.
"I could do that," Freddie responded. "You know, it is nice to be able to talk to someone else about our relationship." Jonah and Valerie both nodded in response while Freddie stabbed a piece of chicken with his fork. "We don't have to keep everything bottled up. Also, this double dating thing really works well."
"Yeah, we could do that maybe every now and then," Valerie said as she glanced over at Jonah. "We could probably even role play with you guys some times."
"Acting out scenarios is fun to do, and doing in a group session could be more fun at times," Sam answered while giving a brief nod.
"You know what I did for Jonah once?" Valerie said with a subtle smirk. "It was on his birthday…you remember, Jonah." Jonah coughed and blushed lightly, he definitely remembered. Valerie had enacted the role of Marilyn Monroe's 'Happy Birthday Mr. President' song. "Happy Birthday Mr. President." Freddie laughed and Jonah blushed harder. Sam merely glanced at Freddie and smirked, her eyes glimmering with ideas. Freddie saw this and he too began blushing.
"Aw man, something tells me we're about to get a lot of interesting fun headed our way," Freddie said as he took a sip of his water. He really couldn't wait to get started, he wanted to think of the greatest romantic ideas for Sam that he could.
"You know what could be fun as well?" Jonah asked as he took a sip of his drink. "To role play involving other people, but they don't know we're really doing that."
"Yeah, that does sound like fun. Maybe once we get really good at role playing, we'll try that idea."
"Yeah…"
"Anyway, Sam and I are going to try to get Carly to like someone else and not me. That seems to be a problem lately, so we need to do something. I think getting her interested in Jake wouldn't be too bad of an idea, but I think Jake most likely will end up getting back with Stephanie, since their relationship was so good."
"Maybe you and Sam should get him role playing as well, but you probably don't want to tell him that you're dating…" Freddie sighed and nodded in response, they only wanted to tell Jonah and Valerie. They weren't even going to tell them until Valerie found out.
"Well, you do have a point. Jake and I have done some role playing pranks on other people before, so we could probably do that again. Especially if getting Carly to have a crush on him works. We could play with him being that guy that she's got a crush on, and I'm the guy that is insanely jealous. I think I'll run that idea by him." Sam chuckled and took a bite of her food, she didn't think the idea was too bad.
"I'll be fine with that," Sam said while smirking. "By the way, Freddie. I just wanted to say, if for some reason Carly ever kisses you again…"
"I'm going to turn right around and find a way to kiss you with as much passion and fire as I can." Freddie smirked and Sam blushed, wondering what he meant by that. Valerie and Jonah laughed and patted their friends on the back.
"If you guys ever have a fight about something, don't hesitate to talk to us," Valerie said while smiling softly.
"Yeah, we'll try to help as much as we can," Jonah stated.
"That's good to know, we'll keep that in mind," Freddie replied. He smirked and glanced over at his still blushing fiancé. "Of course, I don't think there's going to be any major problems that we can't fix."
