Chapter 24 (Morning Treat)

A few days passed, Freddie woke up and walked to the living room where his mom was. She looked up from the couch and smiled as he sat down next to her. Sam was still asleep in her room, she woke up earlier but went back to bed because of a headache. Freddie wanted to make her feel better, but figured he'd let her sleep for a bit longer.

"So, did you have a good sleep, Freddie?" Emily asked as she turned off the television and placed her elbow on the top of the couch.

"Yeah, I'm sort of thinking how bittersweet this victory over Tyrone we've had was," Freddie said while rubbing his head. He called it a bittersweet victory only because they were happy that Carly didn't have to move away to Yakima, but the sorrowful part was that Carly would still have that crush on him and he'd have to keep watching his back in case she tried to kiss him. "So, what did you do, mom?"

"If he didn't take Carly, I wouldn't arrest him like I should do...Well, he had it coming old man knows he can't just get his every wish, and I believe his own son thinks he's too tyrannical." Freddie laughed and then stared at the door in deep thought. He knew Tyrone would be back some time, but he didn't know when. All he knew was he had to protect Sam and make sure that nobody was ever going to tear them away from each other. Emily sipped a cup of coffee she had with her and closed one eye while glancing at Freddie with the other. "I saw a tiny marking on Sam's neck, the rest of it is hidden by the shirt…"

"Uh…" Freddie blushed lightly and rubbed the back of his head, he had to admire the keen eye his mother had. "Yeah, about that…we were kissing in the hall, a lot, and I gave her a 'love bite' as they call it." Emily chuckled and slowly shook her head, she knew these things would probably happen, as they happened with any couple. "I guess I'll admit that I enjoy kissing her. Everything about her is great, and she's a pretty good kisser too."

"You realize you're telling your mom these things."

"Well it's not like I have a father to talk about guy stuff and relationships with, so you're the only one I got." Emily smirked and wrapped her arm around Freddie's shoulder, pulling him into a hug. "Ah!"

"Hey, you know what you're going to get from me, so go ahead and talk. Remember, don't go too far, and if you do…or if you think there's any danger of it, let me know. Who knows, kiddo, I may have to send you away!"

"What!" Freddie's jaw dropped and Emily gave a laugh. "You like Sam better than I do, don't you?"

"Yes." Freddie sighed and hung his head shamefully. "Though you are my son…" Emily glanced over toward the bedroom hallway, she was sure Sam was still asleep. "Come on, we should wake Sam up." Freddie nodded and glanced upwards, he had an idea to wake her up with.

"Do we have any powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and strawberries in the kitchen?" Emily raised her eyebrow and Freddie merely smirked, she could see where he was going with that plan. She smiled and stood up with Freddie, walking with him into the kitchen.

"Yeah, if you want to go ahead and wake her with a snack, that isn't a problem." Freddie smiled as his mom pulled a large plate from the refrigerator. "Go ahead and get the tub of chocolate sauce and whipped cream out of the fridge." Freddie nodded and opened the refrigerator door, he could see the whipped cream at the top, so he grabbed it. "Strawberries should be in the bottom drawer, and the chocolate sauce is there too." Freddie nodded and pulled the two much needed items from the drawer. Emily had taken the powdered sugar from one of the cabinets and placed it at the top of the plate

"Thanks, Mom." Freddie placed the two tubs at the bottom of the plate while Emily started to rinse the strawberries one at a time and place them in the middle.

"Don't mention it, I think she'll enjoy this morning treat." Emily smiled and tapped her chin as she stared at Freddie. He caught her glance and raised his eyebrow, wondering what it was that she was staring at him for. "I think you're going to make a great husband one day. Not many husbands think to treat their wives to something like this in the morning."

"Thanks…I just want to try my best to make Sam happy. She said she had a headache earlier, so I think this might help out some."

"Yeah, it'll help." Freddie smiled and picked up the plate as he started walking toward Sam's room. "Oh Freddie, there is one more thing I should mention!" He stopped and looked over at his mom. "Let's try to refrain from giving her any more hickeys." She smirked and he merely blushed, he would have to try not to do any more of that. He shook his head and slowly opened Sam's bedroom door.

"Yeah, I won't give her anymore of those…" Freddie slowly walked toward the empty side of Sam's bed and moved onto it. He gazed down at her head and smiled as he moved some hair from her face. He thought she was cute when she slept because she looked even more like a beautiful angel sent to him from heaven above. She always entranced him with her beauty. "What would I do without you, Sam? I would find it very hard to go on if you weren't here."

Slowly, Freddie bent over and kissed Sam very gently on the eyelids. He then kissed her forehead and lifted his head to gaze down at her. Her eyelids shifted slightly and her eyebrows rose. A small smile formed at her mouth, so she was either awake or dreaming of something very pleasant. He smiled and placed his hand on her arm, slowly rubbing up and down on her arm, sending a chilling sensation through her body. He could see her shiver and he saw the smile on her face grow even more, now he was even more sure that she was awake. His next step was to tenderly kiss her lips. They still held the same soft, sweet taste as they always did.

"Mm, not a bad thing to wake up to, dork," Sam said while slowly opening her eyes. Freddie smiled softly and moved some more of her bangs from her face.

"I just thought I'd come and give you a good morning treat." Sam hummed lightly and glanced over at the plate that held the strawberries and tubs. Upon seeing this, her eyes danced with sheer delight. Freddie saw what she was looking at and smirked. "Yep, I thought this would be good to bring to you. How is your head?"

"It's doing a little better than it was earlier." Sam sat up and Freddie propped a pillow against the headboard, letting Sam rest her back against it. "I'm not sure I really want to do anything at all for the rest of the day." Freddie chuckled lightly and placed his hand atop of Sam's hand.

"So, you feel like staying in bed all day?"

"Oh, do you think I can?" Sam's voice was dramatic and cute, so Freddie just laughed and lifted her hand to his lips, kissing it. "Oh, thank you for that."

"Anything for you, would you like a strawberry?"

"Oh yes, please let me have a strawberry, sir!" Freddie laughed and Sam smiled at him. He took one of the strawberries and dipped it into the chocolate sauce, he knew Sam would want to try that first. He moved the strawberry to Sam's lips and pressed the tip of it against them, she opened her mouth and let him slip the fruit inside. She slowly bit into it and sighed with delight as the juice ran into her mouth and down her throat. "Oh that tastes so good right now…"

"I'm glad you enjoy it. Would you like another?" Sam smiled at how Freddie was acting, this was just one of the many reasons she loved him so much. She tilted her head and gazed lovingly at him.

"Yes please." He grinned and looked toward the options on the plate.

"Sugar, whipped cream, or chocolate?" Sam eyed the choices and pointed to the whipped cream. Freddie smirked and dipped a strawberry into the whipped topping. She watched as he placed the fruit to his lips and glazed the whipped cream over his lips, he then leaned forward and kissed her lips. Sam giggled when she felt the coolness of the cream touching her lips and the sensation shooting through her once more.

"God Freddie, you're such a romantic." Sam smiled and Freddie smiled back at her.

"Well, it's only to please you." He then brought the strawberry to Sam's lips and let her bite into it. She swallowed and he slipped the rest of the fruit into her mouth. "I think it's true what they say, Strawberries are the true romantic fruit." Sam nodded in agreement.

"I think they were made for romantic purposes!" She eyed Freddie's lips and chuckled lightly, he still had some whipped cream on them. She then lifted her finger up and wiped off the remaining cream. Just as she was about to put her finger into her mouth, Freddie took her hand and placed his lips over her finger and sucking at her fingertips. Fingertips are a major hot spot for her, and a lot of girls, and Freddie knew this. Sam sighed with pleasure as she felt the sensation shooting down her arm and into her body. "Freddie, I have to say, you really do know how to please a girl." Freddie smiled and looked into Sam's eyes, he would have to agree.

"I try my best." Freddie then took another strawberry and dipped it into the powdered sugar. Sam licked her lips, removing the whipped cream that was on them, and eyed the strawberry with delight. Slowly, Freddie lifted it to her lips and slid the fruit into her mouth, letting her bite down and squeal with delight. Sam thought that Freddie should have a strawberry too, but he wasn't taking any for himself.

"You need to have a strawberry." Freddie chuckled and watched as Sam moved her delicate fingers toward the strawberries and picked one up. She dipped it into the powdered sugar and moved it toward his lips. "Okay, open up." Freddie kept his lips shut and smirked as Sam pressed the fruit to his lips. She laughed as he moved his head from side to side. "Come on, open up and eat the strawberry." He shrugged and slowly opened his mouth, letting Sam slide the fruit into his mouth. He stopped the transaction by placing his teeth on the very tip of the red delicacy and smirking. "Hey, you're supposed to eat the entire thing, dork!"

"We'll see about that one, my love." Freddie moved forward pressed the other end of the strawberry to her lips, she opened her lips and let him push half of the fruit into her mouth while kissing her. They both bit down and let the juice flow into their mouths. Freddie leaned back and smiled at his fiancé. "Well, I think that strawberry tasted the best, what about you?" Sam slowly nodded her head and smiled at Freddie, she couldn't help falling deeper in love with him every time he was around her. "I think Mom noticed that hickey I gave you, so I'm going to try not to give you more of them."

"Yeah, that would help." Sam laughed and playfully pushed Freddie. "We wouldn't want Carly to see, then she'd be asking me so many questions about it." Freddie nodded and heard the door open, he looked over and saw Emily walking into the room. In her hands she had Aloe Vera, a frozen spoon, and some makeup. "Uh, hey Mom, what's that stuff for?"

"The hickey that you gave your girlfriend," Emily said in a quiet voice. Freddie chuckled nervously and Sam's eyes darted over to him, laughing at the situation. "You've been in here ten minutes, it's time to doctor up this hickey, so I need you to go elsewhere for a little bit."

"Okay…but what are you going to do?"

"We need to rub the Aloe Vera on the bruise, then place the frozen spoon to the hickey for about ten to fifteen minutes, and after that we will try to conceal it with makeup."

"Okay, I guess I'll go elsewhere." Freddie got off of the bed and smiled at Sam. "You can keep the strawberries."

"Thanks Freddie," Sam said while giving him a small smile in return. Emily placed her fingers on Sam's pajama collar and pulled down, revealing the hickey.

"Holy crap, how can you not notice this?" Emily asked while staring wide eyed at the hickey. "It's like the size of Mt. Everest!" Freddie chuckled nervously and Sam's lips formed an O shape.

"I'm going to go now," Freddie said as he neared the door.

"FREDDIE BENSON!"

"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Henceforth, let it be known that the Benson men are famous for giving their girlfriends really large hickeys.
