Chapter 26 (Angel)

Emily sat on the couch, reading a book as Sam watched through the peephole in the door, she was waiting for Freddie to come back from the meeting he had after school and wanted to surprise him. She had a new dress that Emily bought for her upon request, it wasn't much, but Sam thought it was beautiful. She hoped Freddie would like it. Upon glancing through the peephole, she saw Spencer carrying large sacks.

"I think Spencer's got large sacks of butter," Sam said while raising her eyebrow. She heard Emily laugh and glanced over. "Hey, you could use that sometime."

"How would I do I that?" Emily looked up from the book and raised her eyebrow.

"Well you could…maybe you could make something up about Freddie. Like…maybe he's allergic to fruit!" Upon mentioning the word 'fruit,' Sam recalled the memory of the early morning. "I loved those strawberries. I swear I was in heaven, Pure Bliss!"

"Perhaps you were." Emily smirked and Sam glanced through the peephole once more, then she saw a flash of brown hair belonging to Freddie. He stood at the door and was starting to open it. Right as he opened the door, Sam quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. Freddie nearly jumped in surprise and slowly put his hands on Sam's waist.

"Surprise!"

"You were waiting for me to come home?" Freddie asked as he raised his eyebrow. Freddie then noticed something, so he took a step back and rubbed his chin. She was wearing a new dress, it looked like a regular t-shirt with a skirt, but both were connected. It was full red and the sleeves were only about three to five inches long. It had what looked like the tops of large roses in the design. The skirt part of the dress moved down slightly past Sam's ankles. "This dress, I've never seen it before."

"I know, I saw it and Emily got it for me. Do you like it?"

"Like it? No…I love it. It's beautiful!" Sam's eyes brightened with joy as he placed one hand on her waist and kissed her lips. "Just like you, beautiful." Emily looked back up from her book and smiled at the couple.

"Okay lovebirds, come on inside." The two nodded and entered, closing the door just as Carly's door opened. Freddie blinked and glanced out the peephole, Carly and Spencer both left their apartment and started walking down the hall. "What is it?"

"Wow, just in time. Both Carly and Spencer just left their apartment, I did not see that coming."

"Yeah nice save, you wouldn't want them to see you guys kiss."

"Aw, you sound like our kissing is a bad thing." Emily laughed and slowly stood up from the couch.

"Nope, I think it's just fine." She dusted her pants off and crossed her arms over. "Wasn't Jonah supposed to come over?"

"Yeah, he's on his way. We're going to do a little role play game, so it should be pretty fun." Freddie glanced at Sam and smirked, he knew she was looking forward to it. "Sam's going to be my beautiful princess."

"Oh, that should be pretty fun. I'll get out of your way then…well, at least whenever he gets here."

"Yeah, it should be a little while…What do you think we should do till then, Sam?"

"I don't know, I'm sure there's something fun to do," Sam responded while tapping her chin. "Maybe we can sneak into Carly's apartment and raid her fridge!" Freddie laughed and Emily rolled her eyes while smirking. "Okay, so maybe it's best not to do that." Emily walked over to a nearby stereo and turned it on, putting on some slow and relaxing music. Sam looked over and grinned, she would enjoy dancing, but only if Freddie wanted to. He could see the hopeful look in her eyes, so he took her hand in his and pulled her toward him.

"Shall we dance?" Sam smiled and nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "I have to say, you look very beautiful right now." Sam blushed and Freddie gave her a soft smile.

"You're just saying that…dork." Freddie chuckled and continued to look into Sam's eyes. Emily smiled at the couple and turned around to go into her bedroom. They slid their feet across the floor and moved in a sideways position. Every now and then, they would turn and sway. Their gaze would never flee the other. "It's a shame Valerie won't be able to join us today."

"Yeah, Jonah told me that her mom needed her for something." Freddie led Sam and the couple swayed, turning toward the left. Sam literally took all of his breath whenever he gazed at her. The way her soft golden hair landed on her back and how her beautiful blue eyes seemed to sparkle at him. There was nothing about her that kept him from loving her. "You know, you remind me of the rising sun and the sunset. You're like a beautiful portrait, a beautiful piece of scenery."

"Oh?" Sam closed her eyes and smiled as the swayed to the left and turned right.

"Your hair resembles the beautiful sun and your eyes are like the perfect sky. When you open and close your eyes, it's like sunrise and sunset." Sam opened her eyes and held her smile. "How is it possible? For someone to be so beautiful and to be able to give someone like me so much love, I just don't know. Do I even deserve the love of an angel like you? What have I ever done to deserve you, perhaps you are far too good for me."

"What are you talking about?" Sam gave a soft sigh and smiled at him. "I love you, I love everything about you. You're great for me…I don't know where I'd be without you." Freddie gently pushed and the couple turned to the left. "I'm no angel, you know that. If anyone's the angel, it's you." Freddie smiled and gently kissed Sam's forehead. "I don't know what I've done to deserve you, but I'm happy with you. Sometimes I go to bed at night and I wonder…if I never met you, if Emily never knew me where would I be?"

"Where would you be?"

"That's what I think about sometimes. Sometimes I think about my Uncles and my Aunts…and how I haven't seen a single one of them in years. Cousin Annie and my cousin Greg are the only relatives that I've seen. They're siblings, but I've not seen my Uncle or Aunt that takes care of them. They say I am lucky…they say I've hit heaven compared to their family. So, I wonder if I would be alive or dead, or if I would be in a foster home, or even if I would be stuck in an abusive home, but I'm not."

"You know, sometimes I think the same thing about myself…" Sam raised her eyebrow as Freddie continued to gaze into her eyes. "You've probably made me a lot softer than I would be had I never seen your beautiful face." Sam smiled and Freddie moved his hand to clasp his other hand around her waist, slowly pulling her closer. "Some of the things I do or would have done…you've given me reason to be smart. You've given me reason to do and love the things I do. If I never met you, would I be like some greaser?"

"I don't think I can imagine you like that." Freddie smirked and the couple turned to the right.

"Yeah, imagine me with a leather jacket, a chain on the shoulder, blue jeans, and hair combed back. I bet you I could even ride a motorcycle. I might even be a bit of a flirt, maybe even a pervert." Sam giggled and Freddie tilted his head very slightly and smiled. "Who knows, maybe I'd be involved in stuff I shouldn't be. Maybe I'd be a gangster, can you imagine me as the leader of a big time gang? Seriously, I would probably be a loner who didn't trust anyone."

"So what, you're saying I kept you from being the ultimate bad boy?"

"Yeah, pretty much. After all, I never had any friends until I met you. My father had just recently died then as well, so I was probably going to end up hardening up and turning into a major ass. My heart was darkening, and maybe I would have turned dark. You came into my life and like the rising sun, you put that light into my life. Maybe my heart was darkening until you moved in, but it didn't get very dark at all because you were there. That's why I say…you're my angel." Sam blushed and felt like she was about to cry.

"I love you."

"And I, you…" Freddie leaned forward and Sam closed her eyes as she felt him kiss her lips. He pulled back and gazed once more into her eyes. "Maybe I should paint a picture of you and hang it up on my wall, so even when you're not there, you're still lighting up the darkness with your radiance."

"That was corny, but at the same time, so romantic. I'm an angel, but I give Gibby wedgies and I trash Mrs. Briggs car…I do all these things, and you still say I'm an angel. You still love me. I just don't see how you can think I'm so good…"

"You're good enough to me. I'd trade the world for you. I don't see any bad in you whatsoever, and I do not believe you can do any wrong. I'd even turn my back on my best friend if he were to say something bad about you."

"Don't tell Jonah." Sam smirked and Freddie gave a slight chuckle.

"I just love you that much. I'd give everything up and sleep in the rain if you were to tell me that I needed to do that. I give you everything and I know you would never treat me bad. I'm just sitting here and holding on to your love as much as I can."

"I'm glad." Sam rested her head on Freddie's shoulder and gave a soft sigh. It was her wish that this moment would never end. After a few minutes, they heard a knocking at the door. Sam sighed and closed her eyes. "I guess Jonah's already here…" The door opened and Jonah stepped in, he had heard music so he figured they were ready.

"Aw, maybe I should go home and let you dance," Jonah said while smirking at the couple. Sam and Freddie both released each other and turned toward Jonah, smiling at him.

"No, stay and let's get started," Freddie replied.

-NEW SCENE-

Two days later, Carly was busy visiting Nevel for some interview about her show. Sam took Freddie's hand and led him out of their apartment and toward Carly's, grinning deviously. "Come on, with this date, it's great to do it somewhere else, like Carly's place!"

"Yeah, I suppose so," Freddie said as he held the tray of food that he had. It was a large plate of crackers and in the middle was some sauce that Emily made, she didn't tell them what it was, but it consisted of olives and garlic. It was otherwise known as tapenade. Sam found the key and opened the door, upon entering they hurried over to the couch and turned on the television. "What movie do you want to watch?" Freddie placed the plate on the coffee table in front of the couch and looked toward Sam.

"How about…The Princess Bride, I like that movie!" Freddie raised his eyebrow as he walked over to Carly's movie shelf, wondering if she even had it. "If I mention it, I know Carly's got it. It's a great movie."

"I'll watch it with you." Freddie's eyes drifted toward a shelf and he spotted some hand lotion. "But first..."

"What?" Freddie grabbed the lotion and moved toward Sam, he sat next to her and smirked as he held the lotion slightly in the air.

"Would you care for some hand lotion? After all, I think that key you took was inside of that pot, so you probably have some dirt on them. You don't want to eat food and get sick from whatever's in there, do you?"

"You make a good point." Sam held her hand out as Freddie squirted some lotion onto it, she then rubbed her hands together and smiled. "Hey, maybe we can have some popcorn with these crackers!"

"As you wish…" Sam giggled and Freddie raised his eyebrow. "What?"

"That's what Westley says all the time!" Freddie blinked and walked over to the cabinet, finding the popcorn and pulling it out along with one bowl. "Westley is that one guy in the movie, you'll see!"

"Ah." Freddie put the bowl into the microwave and walked over to the couch, sitting next to Sam. "What shampoo are you using right now?" Freddie sniffed the air to see what shampoo of the week Sam had, since she recently took a shower and they always tried to guess what scent the other had. "Hmm, Chanel number five and a hint of vanilla…I love it." Sam smiled and leaned back in the seat.

"I have to admire that nose of yours, I didn't think you'd get it right!"

"Don't I always?" Sam raised her eyebrow and eyed him suspiciously. He smirked, knowing her thoughts. "I will never reveal my secrets." Truth is, he found out where she hid the key to her bathroom and took a peek most of the time. Of course, that time he actually got the shampoo without even peeking. The microwave beeped, signaling the popcorn was ready. "Ah, let me get this…" Freddie retrieved the popcorn and picked up a nearby photo while sitting back down. "Look, it's a picture of when iCarly first started…and there's that freaky sculpture Spencer made."

"Aw, you still don't like it?" Freddie chuckled lightly and sighed in response. That sculpture was the one that Spencer showed him when he first met the guy. For a second, he thought it was going to maim him, since it was a moving robot that shot flames from its mouth.

"That thing was big and it had fire involved in it. Spencer should never be a fireman. Arsonist is a good occupation, but then Mom would have to arrest him." Sam laughed and positioned the popcorn on the seat next to her as Freddie placed the picture back. "Pardon me one moment my beloved, I have to go to the restroom."

"You don't have to say it like that." Sam giggled and Freddie smirked.

"I know, but I wanted to." Freddie walked over to the movie cabinet first and found the movie, he then put it into the DVD player. "There, I'll get this started first."

"Thanks." Sam watched as Freddie walked toward the restroom, she smiled and started to watch the television. Sam watched for a few minutes until her cell phone started ringing. She quickly answered the phone. "Hello?" It was Carly. "Oh, I'm at your house…yeah, I know where you and Spencer hide the key. So, how's the interview going?"

"Well first of all, Nevel's not a man, he's a kid!" Carly exclaimed.

"What! He's a kid? How old is he?" Sam heard snickering behind her and figured Freddie was out of the bathroom. He placed his hands on her shoulders and started to massage her. "Oh no…Freddie…" He always liked to give her massages whenever she was on the phone with someone, it was always thrilling to see her try to talk when he was massaging and kissing her. Personally, she got a kick out of it too.

"He's like eleven, and he's creepy." Freddie moved forward and started to kiss Sam behind the ear. She suppressed a moan but started to turn to jelly.

"Well…" Sam's body shivered and she suppressed a laugh as Freddie continued kissing her. She playfully slapped at his hands while talking to Carly. "Whatever you do, don't upset the kid." Freddie pushed her hair away from her neck and started to kiss the neck, sending chills down her spine. "Ah…Listen, millions of people view the site, just don't upset the kid."

"Yeah, but what if he…" Carly hung up and Sam stared at the phone.

"Carly?" She shrugged and placed the phone on the couch. Freddie then stopped and quickly leapt over the back of the couch and landed beside her. "Freddie, must you do that when I'm on the phone?"

"Yes." Sam laughed and crossed her arms. She frowned and rubbed them, it felt like it was freezing.

"Why is it so cold? Hold on." Sam got up and walked over to the thermostat, turning the temperature from fifty to seventy. "There, that'll work." With that, she moved back to Freddie and sat next to him. "Okay, so where were we?"

"Hmm, you want to try some of Mom's mystery sauce that she made? I think she said it was made of olives, garlic and capers."

"Yeah, I've wanted to try that." Freddie took a cracker and dipped it into the sauce, he then wrapped his arm around Sam's shoulders and slowly moved the cracker to her mouth. She opened and bit into it, chewing and swallowing. "Oh man, this is great! Have I ever said how much I love your mother's cooking?"

"Yes, a million times actually."

"Well then, I love her cooking!" Freddie laughed and Sam looked into his eyes.

"Hey, you think fireplaces are romantic, right?"

"Yeah, they are."

"Too bad we don't have one in Carly's apartment." Sam laughed and Freddie gave a small sigh. "Well, I know we have one in ours, so maybe we can cuddle by it later."

"Sounds good, I love the warmth a fireplace gives off."

"Same here, but then, just cuddling alone seems to give off good warmth." Sam nodded and Freddie turned his head toward the television. The movie seemed pretty good to him, which surprised him. "You know, I wouldn't mind putting on some music and dancing, but I think I'm starting to enjoy this movie."

"See, I told you it was good!" Freddie nodded and looked over at Sam as she watched the screen. He smiled and placed a soft and gentle kiss on her cheek, causing her to blush. "Thanks for that…"

"I love you."

"I love you more!" Freddie smirked and Sam returned his smirk while raising her eyebrow.

"Well, I love you more than you can ever love me, which means that if you loved me more than I loved you, I would still love you more you could ever love me." Freddie's smirk grew triumphant and Sam blinked while staring at him.

"Fine, you win!" Freddie smirked and continued watching the movie with Sam. He liked the character of Westley, so he knew he'd have to pick up on that. After some time, they ran out of the crackers, and Sam wanted more. "Hey Freddie, do you think you can go back and get more crackers?"

"As you wish." Freddie smirked and Sam blushed deeply. If she was right, he was most likely going to start saying that to her more often. Freddie picked up the plate and left Carly's apartment to go refill the plate with crackers and some other treats that Sam might enjoy.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and yes, Sam and Freddie are having similar date experiences as Nevel and Carly, but they're enjoying themselves. Stick around for the next chapter
