Chapter 5
Sam's POV
He kissed me, he kissed me, no, actually, HE WAS KISSING ME! And the most confusing part of it? I was enjoying it. No, I was liking it! And by liking it, I mean really liking it. But... why? I couldn't answer that question, I couldn't think straight, the only fact that was clear in my mind was that Freddie was kissing me, and that I was kissing him back. Nothing more. I couldn't find the strength to pull away, and I, in a really weird way that I didn't understand, didn't want to break the kiss.
Many things that I couldn't explain were happening in that moment. There was this force, this weird force that was making me not able to pull away from him, and I didn't for a long time. There was something running through my body that started in the exact moment that our lips touched, and it felt like a thousand bolts of electricity. And it seemed like there were fireworks exploding in my head, making it nearly impossible for me to think rationally.
I needed to stop that, it wasn't right, but I couldn't. I tried my best to find the strength and the willing to pull away, and when finally I did, I tried to read the expression on Freddie's face. Many emotions flashed across his face at the same time. Confusion, fear, and many others that I couldn't identify, because, like I said before, I couldn't think straight in that moment. Maybe he was expecting me to punch him in the mouth, or kick him in places that should never be kicked, but I didn't. I have to admit that I was kind of too shocked to do something like those. Yeah, I know, that sounded weird even to me…
Freddie's POV
I kissed her. Yeah, that's right. I am totally out of my mind and I've just decided to kiss Sam Puckett, and that can only mean that I have a death wish. I was expecting her to push me back even before my lips touched hers, but surprisingly, she didn't.
I expected her to hit me, to push me away, or to kick me in places that should never be kicked, but she didn't, and what shocked me the most was the fact that she was kissing me back. This was what I've been craving to do since we shared our first kiss on the fire escape, this was all I've been dreaming about since then, and now, it was happening, I was kissing her… again.
Her lips were as soft as I remembered, the same ones that I've been dreaming with. I didn't want that moment to end, and I tightened the grip around her waist, not wanting to let her go, and she didn't complain about it. The sparks were still there. The sparks, the fireworks, the electricity running through my body, and everything else I felt in our first kiss was still there, but everything was stronger, because this kiss wasn't like that one, this one was more passionate, more…
My thoughts were interrupted when Sam tensed up suddenly, and abruptly pulled away. In that moment, I prepared myself for the pain, but it never came. Instead, she just stared at me with a shocked expression.
Normal POV
Freddie
"I… uh… gotta go" Sam said suddenly after a long and awkward silent moment, not meeting Freddie's eyes. She then, before he could say anything, grabbed her purse that had been lying on the table they had been previously sitting at, and then left the Groovy Smoothie hurriedly.
Freddie watched as the blonde walked away from the smoothie shop and crossed the street… and then entered Bushwell Plaza.
He sighed, shaking his head. Well, her reaction wasn't as bad as he expected it to be, but it wasn't a good reaction either. He was expecting her to get mad at him, to yell at him, beat the fudge out of him, but instead… he didn't see anger in her face at all, all he saw was… shock, that soon turned into confusion.
He just stood there, completely dumbfounded. His mind was racing, trying to understand what happened, but there was no need to think much, because he then came to a decision: he needed to talk to her. And luckily, he knew exactly where she was, because if she went to the Bushwell Plaza, she was probably going to spend the night at Carly's…
She was probably extremely confused right now, and Freddie really needed to make everything clear to her. He also knew that seeing him was probably the last thing Sam wanted to do right now, but he needed to try, he needed to at least let her know the truth, and then, if she doesn't want to see him anymore, then it's her choice, and he'd have to accept it…
Freddie then ran out of the Groovy Smoothie and towards Bushwell Plaza, trying to figure out how exactly he was going to tell her the truth, but the more he thought about it, the more nervous he got, so he dropped that thought for the moment.
As soon as he was inside the lobby, Lewbert started yelling at him, and as always, Freddie didn't pay attention to what he was saying, but he was sure he had heard the words 'hobo', 'cheese' and 'upset wart'… yeah, that's exactly why Lewbert didn't have many friends.
Anyway, Freddie went up to the eighth floor and went straight to Carly's apartment door. After a brief moment of hesitation, Freddie took a deep breath and knocked on the big wooden door.
Inside the apartment…
Sam
Sam heard a knock on the front door and froze. She had an idea of who that might be, and she certainly didn't want to see that someone right now.
When she realized that Carly had gotten up from the couch to answer the door, she sped towards the brunette and grabbed her arm, making her stop and stare at the blonde curiously.
"Uh… why are you holding my arm?" Carly asked, sounding a bit amused.
"Carly…" It took Sam some time to complete that sentence, because she didn't really know what she'd ask Carly to do. She knew she couldn't just tell Carly not to answer the door, but she couldn't let her open that door either… or could she?
"Carly, whoever it is, just say that I left, okay?"
"Uh... but why?" Carly asked, seeming to be even more confused than she was before.
"Nothing Carly, just know that… I'm not here! To anyone, alright?" Sam said, rushing towards the stairs.
Carly
"But Sam!" Carly was about to contest, but Sam was already halfway up the staircase.
"To anyone Carly! I mean it!" Sam exclaimed, and then she disappeared up the stairs, and Carly, even though she didn't want to, agreed to do what Sam said. There was no way she was changing the blonde's mind anyway.
Carly then resumed walking to the front door and opened it, only to find Freddie standing there in the hallway.
"Uh… hey Freddie" Carly greeted him. She had the feeling that maybe Sam knew it was him, and she had told Carly to tell whoever was outside the door that she wasn't there anymore exactly because of that, so that meant she didn't want Freddie to know she was there… or maybe Carly was just being paranoid.
"Hey Carly…uhm… is Sam here?" He asked, and that feeling Carly had became a little bit… well, stronger as he walked in and she closed the door slowly.
"Well, she was here just a few minutes ago, but then she said she needed to go home and left on the elevator" Carly lied, hoping that he'd believe that.
"Oh… uh… well, if you see her… please tell her that… that we need to talk, alright? I really need to clear things up with her…" Freddie said, and Carly stared at him confused.
"Uh… what do you mean by… 'I need to clean things up with her'?" Carly asked curiously. Had something gone on between the two that she didn't know about?
"Look Carly… I know we promised no more secrets, but really... this is between me and Sam, okay? I did something and… I need to explain myself" Freddie said, hoping that Carly wouldn't question that, but, of course, that didn't happen.
"But… what is it that's so secret that you can't tell me?" Carly asked. She really hated not knowing what was going on, especially with her best friends.
"Carly, I know you want to know what I'm talking about but… just let it go this time, okay? Please" Freddie asked, and Carly gave in. Well, not completely… she'd ask Sam about it, and maybe the blonde would tell her.
"Okay" Carly said, sighing, and Freddie seemed clearly relieved.
"Thanks Carly" He said, and then turned around to leave. But he seemed pretty hesitant as he did that, and when he touched the doorknob, he glanced at the stairs briefly, like he was expecting someone to walk down them at each second, but then, when he realized that wouldn't happen, he left the apartment.
Carly stared at the closed front door for a few seconds, not really knowing what to do next, until Sam walked down the stairs.
Sam
"So, who was that?" Sam asked innocently as she walked down the stairs. She had eavesdropped the conversation, so of course she knew who had knocked was Freddie, but she didn't want Carly to know that.
"Uh… Freddie" Carly answered, and Sam pretended that she didn't care, so she walked to the kitchen, and hoping that Carly wouldn't touch the subject of her conversation with Freddie, because Sam was confused about that herself. But Carly just couldn't let it go, could she?
"So… Freddie asked me to tell you something…" Carly said as Sam opened the fridge and started looking through the food in there.
"Uh… and what would it be?" Sam asked, trying to sound like she didn't care, even though she already knew what Freddie had told Carly, and then pulled a bottle of root beer out from inside the fridge and opened it on the kitchen island wooden edge.
"He wanted me to tell you that he needs to talk to you to… clear things up. What could he possibly mean by that?" Carly asked as Sam started walking to the living room and sat down lazily on the couch.
"I don't know" Sam lied, shrugging. Carly then sat down next to her, and stared at her curiously. "What?" Sam asked after a few seconds.
"Do you really have no idea of what he's talking about? I mean, he wouldn't ask me to tell you that if he didn't have a reason" Carly insisted, but Sam still wouldn't give in.
"Carly, I don't speak Dorknese, so I don't know what he was talking about, okay?" Sam said.
"Sam, seriously, are you really sure you don't know? I mean, did something happen and you two are keeping it from me… again?" Carly asked.
Sam knew why Carly was asking her that. She had recently found out about Sam and Freddie's kiss, and she was probably still a bit paranoid about it, and about them keeping secrets from her. But Sam couldn't tell Carly about what had happened back there in the Groovy Smoothie, well, at least not yet. Sam was pretty confused about it herself, and even though they had made a promise that they'd tell each other everything, Sam couldn't tell her just yet. Carly would have to live without knowing about what happened for some time.
"Carly, just drop it okay? Please" Sam asked. She couldn't lie to Carly that nothing had happened anymore, but that didn't mean she'd have to tell her about it.
"But-" Carly was about to argue, but Sam cut her off.
"Carly, I mean it" Sam said, and Carly frowned, but then sighed, finally giving in.
"Okay, okay… but you two better tell me what it is soon!" Carly exclaimed, frustrated. Again, she hated not knowing things.
"Okay…" Sam said, even though she wasn't sure if they'd really be able to tell her everything, she was actually hoping that Carly would forget about it, but that sure wouldn't happen, because she was Carly. She just couldn't forget about something like that.
Carly then turned on the TV, even though she didn't seem to be paying attention to what was on as she shifted through the channels, and Sam's thoughts wandered towards the previous happenings of that night.
Author's Note: Yeah, I told you the next chapters would be a bit longer :P This fic is already finished, it has eight chapters and an epilogue :D So the only thing left for me to do is edit them because I'm extremely paranoid with things written wrong and some other stuff, and post them :P Yay, don't I deserve a muffin? lol, joking xD
