Chapter 33 (Planning the Role Play: Valerie)

"I can't believe you actually did that," Sam said as she and Freddie sat on a park bench. They were on another date and Freddie was setting up the blanket for a picnic. He spread the blanket out as Sam watched, she had heard of what Freddie had done. "You figured out where my grandmother was as well, I didn't even know where she was…"

"I had to do it," he replied. "Mrs. Briggs was treating everyone unfairly because of a dispute between her best friend, so I decided to take matters into my own hands." He didn't want to say that it seemed very familiar to him, he was hoping that Sam and Carly wouldn't end up getting into a fight about him. Of course, Carly could end up taking it harder than Mrs. Briggs, she had the power at her disposal to do worse than Mrs. Briggs could ever have done. Hell, she could even get her grandfather to tear them apart.

"I know, but you still didn't have to, but I'm glad you did." Sam smiled and got up to help Freddie put the food items on the blanket. She and Freddie sat down on the blanket and looked at the food that was in place. "It looks good, that's for sure." Freddie smiled and nodded his head. They were in a nice part of the park that was secluded from the majority of the park. They had their own private section, so no one was going to get in their way. "Freddie, I just want to say thanks."

"Hey, I'm glad to do it." Freddie looked at Sam and smiled, she was glancing slightly down toward the blanket. He lifted his hand to her face and gently caressed it, she lifted her eyes and smiled when she met his gaze. "All of the students she has, but mostly you, deserve better grades. You would get in trouble for nothing sometimes, so I had to do something for my beautiful Angel." Freddie smiled at her as the wind blew across both of them. Sam took his hand and kissed it, she had to admit that she loved him even more because of what he did.

"I'm just surprised, because I never new you were ever going to try to do something like that, and all for me."

"Why wouldn't I?" He gazed at her and she gazed back in return, not a word was spoken. Sam knew she had a great man in him and he knew that she would always belong to his, therefore he was always going to try and do the things that made her happy. He leaned forward and placed his hand behind her neck as he kissed her lips.

"Freddie…" She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed as she fell backwards and landed on the blanket. He placed his hands beside her and lowered his body to barely rest onto hers. As they kissed they could feel the wind blowing against them. Sam lowered her hands to rest on Freddie's back as she start to arch upwards. She rested back on the ground as the kiss deepened. Freddie felt his body lower slightly as he closed his eyes. His hands slid toward Sam's body and he let a moan escape into his mouth. His hip lowered and touched hers, and his eyes instantly flew open. He stopped and parted lips. "Why did you stop now?"

He looked down at her, her lips appeared beautifully puffed and tempting. Her eyes quivered with beauty as she gazed up at him. Her hair was sprawled out underneath her, it appeared as the perfect bed for her head. He made it an effort to not glance downward, since that would be far too tempting for him. She tilted her head slightly and Freddie gave her a soft smile. "If I did not stop there, then I would not be able to stop."

"I appreciate that, Freddie." Freddie smiled at her and sat up. Sam rolled onto her front and took a cherry from a bowl of cherries. "I was thinking, we should talk to Valerie about role playing as your girlfriend." Freddie raised his eyebrow as Sam took a bite of the cherry. "It would be fun, and people would figure that we're not dating if they think you have a girlfriend." Freddie tapped his chin lightly and shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess it wouldn't be too bad, as long as it was role playing. We might want to talk to Jonah about it, because it is his girlfriend." Sam nodded in response and looked over as Freddie lay on his back, gazing up at the clouds. He placed his hands behind his head and gave a soft sigh. Sam smiled and moved toward him, curling next to him and placing his arm on his chest. She kissed his cheek and looked up at the clouds. "You know what, Sam? I think this is great. Just you and I looking up at those clouds. It sure is a relaxing sight. You know, I'm thinking you're from up there. You've come down and you're just the sweetest angel ever."

"Aw…shut up…" Sam blushed and Freddie gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and slipped his arm underneath her waist. She smiled and curled slightly, slowly she closed her eyelids and drifted to sleep.

"I can't believe you!" Carly shouted as the flames surrounded them. "You knew I liked him!" Sam winced as Carly yelled at her, she sank back and Carly continued to glare angrily at her. "I hate you! You don't deserve him, what did you ever do to deserve him?" She felt a strong arm wrap around her waist and hold her close.

"Quit shouting at her, you know nothing," Freddie said in an angry whisper. Carly huffed and turned around to face Spencer.

"Spencer, where is Grandpa?" Sam gasped as Tyrone Shay stepped forward. He growled and glared at Sam and Freddie.

"This kind of thing can't happen in America," Tyrone exclaimed. "I won't allow it to happen in this city."

"No!" Sam shouted. She felt Tyrone start trying to rip Freddie away from her. "No! Freddie! NO!"

"Sam. Sam? Sam!" Sam opened her eyes and found Freddie looking at her with concern. "Sam, you're okay. I'm right here, nothing's happening."

"Freddie…" Sam whimpered once and Freddie held her close. "We can never tell Carly, never. We can't ever tell her, because I'm afraid…I'm really afraid."

"Don't worry, I won't allow anything to happen. Jonah and Valerie are with us, as well as Mom. We're safe." Sam nodded and huddled close to his chest, she seemed to be afraid of Carly.

"I know Carly's a great friend, and she really is, but…did I tell you that once before I had a dream that I told her about you and me when we first learned she had a crush on you and she said you weren't my type. She tried to take you away from me."

"These are nightmares, just fears that will not happen. Its okay, Sam. You're safe from any possible harm. I will protect you." Sam smiled as he held her tighter, he was her knight in shining armor, and he would always keep her safe. She closed her eyes and her dream returned to her.

"Back off!" Jonah said as he gripped Tyrone and pulled him away. Valerie growled and stepped in front of Sam and Freddie, glaring at Tyrone.

"Yeah, leave our friends alone!" Valerie ordered. Emily stepped next to the group and stared the others down. With that, Tyrone and the mob backed away, not wanting anything to happen. Carly made a dejected face and slowly left. Though she was glaring at Tyrone with bitter hate.

Sam opened her eyes and sighed, she wondered what the dream was about anyway. She knew Carly was a good friend who would never dream of hurting her, but then, she couldn't be sure. She looked over to see Freddie smiling at her.

"Hey there sleeping beauty, I just got off the phone with Jonah," Freddie said while giving a small smirk. "He says to meet them in about an hour."

"Cool."

-NEW SCENE-

Freddie, Sam, Jonah and Valerie sat on the porch patio behind Valerie's home, they were discussing the possibility of role playing. Jonah didn't seem to mind, since it was only role playing and not real. Freddie and Sam also offered to let Jonah have a shot at it some time, he said he'd consider it. Currently, they were going to start setting up rules. They knew Valerie had a basement and she and Jonah were starting up a webshow of their own, so Freddie decided to use that to an advantage.

"How about you role play as if you're trying to use me," Freddie said while crossing his arms and smirking. "That right there would also give a good reason for the inevitable break up to occur." Valerie tapped her chin in thought as Sam raised her eyebrow. It really didn't seem like all that of a bad idea. "Perhaps people will see one thing and think something big is happening. For example, what if people thought a catfight was about to happen between you and Sam?"

"Do you think it would be believable?" Valerie asked while tilting her head slightly.

"To some, yes. To others, no. I mean, some people know you two are close friends while some don't really have the slightest clue. Carly's doesn't really even know if you're friends, despite the fact that Sam used your name when taking once." Sam nodded in response and Valerie raised her eyebrow. "Either way, you don't have to get into a fight or anything, but it might make it interesting."

"Yeah, a play fight or even looking like it would be fun to do."

"I guess I just sit in the sidelines till this all blows over," Jonah said.

"Yeah, pretty much," Sam replied. "There's not a lot for you to do in the role play. Both you and Freddie would most likely just sit back and watch. However, we want to make the girlfriend part of it believable." Jonah and Freddie raised their eyebrows and Valerie glanced over at Sam with an odd look. How could they possibly make it believable like that. "I don't mean like what girlfriends and boyfriends do with each other, but something needs to happen to make it believable. Like, maybe you guys would go on an actual date…also, I think maybe a cheek kiss would be okay."

"You want me to kiss your boyfriend on the cheek?" Valerie asked while staring at Sam with a baffled look. "Let me restate that. You don't even want Carly coming close to Freddie, and here you're asking me to kiss your man on the cheek."

"Well it's role play for one thing, I know it isn't real. I would be comfortable knowing that it doesn't mean anything. When Carly does it, then it means something, and I don't like that. You don't have to do it though, it's just a thought. It would definitely make the whole thing believable. If you don't mind, I might monitor your date." Sam smiled innocently and Valerie laughed.

"Girl, I wouldn't have it any other way. It makes it fun, and also fair. Also, you can easily tell us if there is a foul and whether I shouldn't do something in the role play. He's your man, so I wouldn't want to do anything that would be wrong. I imagine Jonah will probably monitor Freddie as well." Jonah gave a nod and Freddie smirked in agreement. "So far, it sounds fun, especially since a lot of people will not know it is faked."

"Not only that, if Freddie gets a girlfriend, all suspicions of he and I dating will pretty much be put aside."

"Just one question."

"What?"

"What about Jake? He knows that I am Jonah's girlfriend."

"Don't worry, we can explain to him that you two aren't really together," Jonah said while crossing his arms. "We'll think of something that is believable enough. You just leave that to us, and you girls have fun in your role play."

"I'm involved in the role play too," Freddie stated. "I guess we'll just have to see how this goes."

"It should be pretty interesting. You might make a believable reason why you and Valerie become friends, also."

"I don't think Carly will care that much," Sam said in a quiet voice. "I mean, its Carly…I'm not even sure what'll happen, to be honest." She hoped Carly wouldn't display any signs of jealousy, but if she did, then there wasn't anything to do about that. She actually tried not to act jealous when Carly liked Freddie, but it was hard enough. She couldn't help but to have her jealousy flare up whenever Carly talked about Freddie. She always did try her best to remain calm. "At least this is one girl I can deal with." Valerie smiled and gave Sam a comforting hug.

"You know, I don't mind if you vent some of that anger and jealousy on me while we're role playing." Sam raised her eyebrow and shook her head.

"I couldn't do that, I don't want to subject you to something that serious."

"I'll be fine, because I know you're not really yelling at me." Jonah and Freddie looked at their girlfriends and sighed.

"It's really up to you girls," Freddie said as he walked over toward Sam. "I say it'll be good for relieving aggressions, but at the same time, remember that Valerie is not Carly."

"Right, well it's not like I could really do anything to Carly," Sam said while giving a soft smile. "She's my best friend, I love her like a sister." The others nodded and decided to rest, they would have a day or two to actually prepare for the role play.

Now the role play for Valerie begins, be prepared.
