Chapter 114 (Reunion: Relaxing Break)
Finally lunch had come along, it seemed things were calming down for Sam. She didn't know how much she could take before the presentation and food was just what she needed to calm her nerves down. She was about to sit down when Freddie grabbed her plate and smirked. "Freddie, what are you doing?" Sam asked with narrow eyes. Freddie laughed and moved his head to the side, gesturing for her to follow him.
Sam sighed and followed Freddie out of the lunch room and out of the church. He walked with Sam over to the side of the building and sat against the wall. "I figure if we're gone for a little bit then they won't miss us," Freddie stated as Sam sat next to him. He had a point, everyone was basically just eating and talking amongst themselves at the moment. Sam needed a moment to catch her breath since so much had been going on. Freddie could tell just how nervous she was, so that's why he chose to bring her outside and get away from it all.
"Thanks Freddie." Sam took her plate and picked up a small piece of celery. She bit into it and leaned her head against the wall. It felt good to get away from all the insanity inside. Freddie's family was great, but the mysteries and the secrets were just so much for her to bear. She didn't want to have to deal with it all right now. She slowly chewed her food and breathed in, it was definitely a good moment to relax. "It's so stressed right now." Freddie looked over and nodded. He knew how much Sam wanted things to go well, all the extra drama wasn't going to be helping her nerves any.
"Well maybe I can help out with that." Sam smiled and closed her eyes as Freddie leaned over and gently kissed her. "You know, Jonah and Valerie snuck out too…" Sam laughed once and shook her head, she had to figure they might. After all, they were getting some stressful bits as well. "I think they went for a little hike." Sam raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes, a hike sounded pretty fun for the moment.
"Where might that hike be?" Freddie rubbed his chin and glanced over to the right, there was a large rocky mountain like hill in the distance.
"Over there, would you like to go?" Sam smiled and nodded her head. Freddie stood up and held his hand out so he could help Sam up. She grabbed her plate and then grabbed his hand. He carefully pulled her up and snuck a piece of food off of her plate. She rolled her eyes and smiled, she figured she'd let Freddie get away with taking her food that one time. "Well, follow me."
"Lead the way Captain!" Freddie laughed and started walking. Sam followed after him and took a bite of her food. "Mm, this is so good! Valerie helping out in the kitchen was worth it." Freddie chuckled and took a bite of his food. He had to agree, the food was delicious. The more they walked, the less the food became. By the time they reached the large hill, their plates were empty. "Okay, is there a trashcan nearby?" Freddie pointed to a small bin and Sam quickly tossed the plates into it. "There, all good…now let's climb!"
"Heh, sounds fun." Freddie looked up and grinned, he was pretty sure there might be a great view at the top. "Well, let's get moving." Freddie rubbed his chin and looked at Sam's legs. It wasn't perverted, he was just concerned because Sam was wearing shorts. He knew Sam didn't mind getting scrapes, if she did, but he thought she might not want to at this particular time. "You know, perhaps it's best if we don't climb…chances are you'll get some scrapes and then go up there in front of everybody during your presentation…" Sam looked down and shrugged her shoulders.
"Please, with all they're worrying about in there…I think me scraping my legs would be the least of all the concerns." Freddie smirked and walked over to her side. He knelt down and quickly patted her leg, causing her to squeal out. "What was that for!"
"Well I'm just checking for softness. They seem pretty tender…" He stood up and smirked as he gazed into her eyes. "I'm not sure I'd want those soft little lady legs of yours to get all scratched up." Sam rolled her eyes and smiled, Freddie was such a dork sometimes. Sam placed her hand onto Freddie's cheek and softly kissed his lips.
"I think my legs are going to be fine. Now let's get moving, shall we?" Freddie laughed once and started up the hill. Sam followed close behind. They would have to watch for things like cactus plants and other things that would be a problem for them. As they made their way up, Sam kept nearly slipping on the tiny rocks and pebbles. She knew one thing was certain, she would be thrilled upon reaching the top of the climb. Until then, she just had to continue on, she wasn't complaining in any way.
"Are you doing all right back there?" Sam looked up to see Freddie smirking at her, she smiled and grabbed his hand.
"Yeah, I'm doing fine. I'm not too sure about you, though." Freddie grabbed a rock as Sam pulled on his arm. She sighed when he didn't move. "Damn it Freddie, you just had to grab that."
"I know you too well my love." Sam laughed and continued the rocky climb. Freddie made his way up and found himself staring at her butt every now and then. Sam knew he was looking that way, but she didn't mind. "Is there some reason you've moved in front of me?"
"Yes, so I can torment you with something that no man can resist, and that's watching my hips shake." Freddie sighed and shook his head. He then had a devious thought. He lifted his hand and curled his fingers forward, smirking slightly. Sam was wondering why he didn't make some joke or response, but she soon figured that out. Freddie grabbed her left butt cheek, causing her to yelp and jump up slightly. "Damn it Freddie!" Freddie laughed and Sam's face grew red. "One day Freddie, one day."
"Whatever you say. Just know that as long as we're together, your buttocks will forever be cute, adorable, and grabbable, or slapable, whichever you prefer." Freddie smirked and climbed past Sam. She couldn't help but to smile at her lover, he was just so adorable, in his own way. She continued climbing and bit her lip as a sneaky thought entered her mind. She lifted her hand and quickly slapped Freddie's butt. "HEY!"
"You do it to me, I can do it to you." Freddie laughed and slowly shook his head. Sam gave him a tight hug and kissed his cheek. "We're almost to the top, I bet I can beat you there!"
"Good luck babe." Sam smirked and quickly took off. Freddie broke into a run after her. Eventually they reached the top. It was all soft grass above. Sam turned around just in time to be tackled to the ground by Freddie. She laughed and felt herself being rolled onto the grass as Freddie flipped himself over her. She stopped laughing and gazed up into his eyes, they were soft and filled with nothing but love for her. "You look so beautiful right here…I'm almost tempted to kiss you."
"You can, there's nothing that's stopping you from doing so." Sam sighed softly and smiled. "I'm kind of happy about what happened earlier. I mean, what a relief…Carly's related to you, so that means she can never have you." Freddie had to admit, he actually liked that fact as well. It was probably the biggest relief to him.
"Yeah, I'm all yours, Sam." Freddie brushed some of Sam's hair back and felt her drape her arms around his neck. She closed her eyes as he carefully lowered himself on top of her. He didn't want to crush her small body beneath him.
His lips met with her soft lips, providing him with the taste of her strawberry chap stick. She deepened the kiss and tightened her grip around Freddie. She slowly untangled her fingers and moved them smoothly across Freddie's back and down his arms. He traced his kisses from her lips and down to her jaw line, then to her neck. She placed her palms on the ground and breathed in sharply. A moan escaped her lips as she exhaled slowly. Freddie moved further down her neck and started playing with the collar of her shirt with the tips of his teeth.
Freddie lifted his head up and looked into Sam's eyes as she opened them. She breathed in and slowly exhaled, not wanting this moment to end. She lifted her hands to the bottom of Freddie's shirt and began to carefully pull it off. Freddie lifted his hands up one at a time, letting his sleeve fall off of his arms. He tossed his shirt aside and continued to gaze into Sam's eyes. She swallowed hard as she gazed at Freddie's shirtless body. The sun hit his skin and caused it to appear as if it were glowing. "Sam? Are you…"
"This is the best I've felt all day, Freddie…I don't want it to end."
"Yeah but…" It was hard for him to resist her, but he knew they should probably start heading back to the reunion. Sam knew it as well, but she couldn't stop herself. She lifted her arms and wrapped them around Freddie's body. She lifted her head up and began to kiss Freddie's lips. As they continued to kiss, they grew less and less aware of their surroundings. They weren't sure how long they were kissing for, but it ended when Freddie's shirt landed right on his face. Both Freddie and Sam stood up quickly and looked over to see Jonah and Valerie staring at them.
"Hey guys…" Sam blushed hard and saw Jonah shaking his head disapprovingly.
"We came up here to get a nice view, walk around a bit and return to this area to find you two making out," Jonah said as he crossed his arms. "I have to say…I'm only a bit disappointed."
"Oh leave them alone," Valerie said with a slight laugh. She wasn't bothered at all. "However you two, we probably should be getting back to the reunion. If not, they're probably going to start looking for us and getting concerned."
"Yeah, let's get moving," Freddie responded. He put his shirt back on and placed his hand on the small of Sam's back. He gently kissed her forehead and smiled. "Well anyway, are you relaxed enough for the rest of the day?" Jonah laughed and Sam kept her blush.
"I think she's about as relaxed as she's going to get, dude," Jonah replied. Sam shot Jonah a look and Valerie gave a quick laugh. It was most likely the wrong time for a joke, but it didn't really matter. The group began walking back down the mountain, each of them believing it had been a very pleasant and nice escape away from the nerve wracking reunion.
Well, I hope you enjoyed that chapter. They definitely were a bit perverted, haha...leave it to their best friends to stop them before they did anything too much, huh. You'll enjoy the next chapter! Review.
