Chapter 84 (Second Anniversary)
Finally May tenth rolled around, Sam opened her eyes and grinned, she couldn't wait to see what Freddie had planned for her. That was especially considering he just woke her up and told her he had a big surprise for her. Sam quickly got up from her bed and hurried into her closet, she had hidden Freddie's anniversary gift in there. It was ordered from the site that let people put their photos in a DaVinci masterpiece. (A/N: http: // www5. Mydavinci . com /Personalized-Art/Digital/Gift-31/majorgeneral . html). She chose to send in a photo of Freddie and have it put on the painting called Major General.
She pulled the painting from the closet and smiled as she exited her bedroom Freddie was sitting on the couch, waiting for her to get up and finish getting dressed. "Freddie, I have a surprise for you." Freddie stood up and looked to Sam, his eyes trailed to the back of a painting that she was holding in her hands. "You'll never believe what I got for you." She turned the painting around and Freddie's eyebrows went up, he saw his face on a major painting.
"That is awesome, Sam. Did you do it?" Sam laughed and shook her head.
"No, I sent in a photo to some site and they did it. They sent this to me. Happy Anniversary Freddie. Do you like it?" Freddie took the portrait in his hands and lifted it up slightly to look at it. He loved it.
"I think it's great, Sam. I love it." He leaned forward and lightly kissed Sam's lips. "I'm going to find a place to hang this in my room." Sam nodded and Freddie moved toward his bedroom. She quickly ran to her room so she could get dressed, she was really excited to find out what Freddie's surprise was.
After about thirty minutes, she was done. She left and found Freddie at the kitchen table, he looked very handsome. He looked toward her and smiled, she looked beautiful. He stood up and took her hand in his. "You look stunning as always, Sam." Freddie gently kissed her forehead and groomed her hair with his hand. "I bet you're waiting for what I have planned for you, right Sam?" She nodded and Freddie grinned.
"So what did you get for me?"
"You will see. Valerie and Jonah came over, so you're getting a nice meal for breakfast." Freddie held his hand out towards a plate on the table, it had a lot of scrumptious looking food on it. Sam felt her mouth watering, so she quickly sat down and grinned. Valerie and Jonah entered the kitchen, holding a box in their hands. Freddie raised his eyebrow as their friends set the box on the table. "Hey guys, what do you have there?"
"Oh, it's just our anniversary gift for you," Valerie said with a soft smile. "We thought it'd be nice to get you two something."
"Thank you." Sam stopped eating and moved toward the gift, Freddie followed soon afterwards. They began to open the gift and found two identical pairs of white bathrobes.
"They're a pair of Men's and Women's monogrammable resort robes. They're personalized too, take a look." On Freddie's robe, there was an F while on Sam's, there was the letter S. "They're made to pamper you, these Monogrammed Resort Robes are incredibly soft and absorbent."
"Aw, thank you so much," Sam said as she hugged Valerie. Freddie smiled and nodded in reply.
"Yeah, I've been needing to get a new robe," Freddie said with a subtle smirk. "You guys are awesome."
"Hey, we're best friends, what are best friends for?" Jonah replied while patting Freddie on the back. "Man, we're going to miss you these next few days." Sam raised her eyebrow and glanced over, Freddie sighed and Jonah gave a nervous chuckle. "My bad."
"What is Jonah talking about, Freddie?" Sam asked. A large grin was starting to form on her lips, she had a feeling Jonah was talking about Freddie's surprise for her.
"Oh you'll see," Freddie replied as he crossed his arms. "Let's finish eating and head down to Jonah's car. I think you're going to enjoy what I've got planned." Sam nodded and continued eating her food. When finished, they all said goodbye to Emily and left for Jonah's car, making sure Tyrone was nowhere nearby. They all entered Jonah's car and closed the doors, the day was just starting and already it was going great. Sam was sure she'd not be able to rest until they got to the place they were heading for. Freddie just loved building the anticipation in her. "You know, I've been thinking…"
"What were you thinking about?"
"Possibly when we get married, we should marry on May tenth." It didn't sound like a bad idea to Sam, she actually liked it. They already celebrated the tenth as their anniversary of starting to date, so why couldn't they celebrate it as the day they got married. Five years to go until they finally married, it seemed a long way off. Sam cuddled close to Freddie and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I think that's a good day to marry. We've got five years to decide, but you know…I kind of wish we could marry before we were twenty. The wait is fine though, since we're going to be together all the time, right?"
"Of course, we'll be together even beyond the day we die." Freddie gently kissed Sam's forehead and hugged her close. Valerie made an 'aw' sound and Jonah smiled while still focusing on the driving. It was only a few more minutes before Jonah finally parked the car, they had arrived at their destination. Freddie looked out and smiled lightly as he placed a blindfold over Sam's eyes.
"Freddie, what are you doing?"
"We're here." Sam giggled slightly and the group exited the vehicle. Freddie placed his hand on the small of Sam's back and whispered into her ear. "As for marriage, we'll see what happens as time passes." Sam nodded and felt herself being led somewhere by Freddie. Jonah and Valerie walked behind them and draped their arms around each other's waists. "Get ready Sam." Freddie placed his hands on Sam's sides in order to stop her from walking. He stood behind her and gripped the blindfold. "Here's your big surprise." He removed the blindfold and Sam gasped in wonder at what she saw, it was a large cruise ship.
"Oh my god, you got us booked for a cruise?"
"Yep, for about four days…" Sam squealed with delight and threw her arms around Freddie's neck, kissing him happily. She had always wanted to go on a cruise, and now she would. For a moment, she felt a little jealous since all she got Freddie was a portrait, but really they were probably worth the same in each other's hearts. "Jonah and Valerie can't come with us, so I suppose that makes some more time for us." Sam nodded and smiled as she rested her head on Freddie's shoulders.
"Thank you Freddie. You've got to be the best boyfriend ever, at least in my book." Freddie smiled and kissed her forehead in response.
"I'll go with that." Jonah and Valerie glanced at each other and chuckled, they hoped that their friends would have a lot of fun on the cruise. Jonah stepped forward and placed his hand on Freddie's shoulder.
"Dude, I want to wish you guys the best of luck," Jonah said with a smirk.
"We're going away for a few days, Jonah. Not forever." Jonah laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well however long you're going to be gone, Valerie and I are going to miss you guys anyway. We want to remind you, try not to give in to the temptation to make love. I don't think Ms. Benson wants Sam coming home pregnant." Freddie rolled his eyes and chuckled, he found it amusing whenever Jonah felt the need to remind him of such things. Sam quickly gave Valerie a hug and smiled.
"Think you can handle the Kitchen while I'm gone, Val?" Sam asked with a subtle smirk. Valerie raised her eyebrows and smirked back at her.
"Yeah, I think it'll be okay. Enjoy the cruise." Sam nodded and Freddie took her hand, it was time to get on the boat before it left without them.
"Hey Jonah," Freddie said while smirking. Jonah looked over and raised his eyebrows. "You know while we're gone, don't let the temptation of love with Valerie get the best of you!" Jonah crossed his arms and felt a blush rising on his face, Valerie was blushing as well. "Later guys, have fun. Don't have too much fun, though!"
"Aw just shut up and get on the boat," Jonah stated. Valerie laughed and kissed him on the cheek. They watched as Sam and Freddie ran toward the boat and boarded it. "There they go, Valerie…"
"They're not gone yet," Valerie said while resting her head on Jonah's shoulder. "Even though it's only a few days, I'm going to miss them greatly." Jonah nodded his head and listened as the ship sounded its horn. The couple watched as the large boat began to move. Valerie tugged on Jonah's arm and pointed out. "Look!" Jonah glanced over and spotted Freddie and Sam on the deck, waving at them. They smiled and waved back. The two stood in place until the boat was completely out of sight. "It's going to be a quiet week…"
"Yeah, we'll figure out something to do without them."
"Yeah, let's try not to make it too boring." Jonah chuckled and walked to the car with Valerie, he'd make sure it wasn't too boring of a week for her.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter. I have to say, the next chapter and/or the one after that will quite possibly be the saddest chapters I have written/you will read of this story.
