THE LONG AWAITED DAY 41! Sorry I took forever to upload! School and stuff is really getting in the way of everything right now but don't worry, I haven't given up on it! Thanks Midnight08 for this idea (and for you MANY ideas!). Enjoy this one! OMG, DID YOU KNOW THAT A ZUCCHINI IS A COURGETTE? Yeah, I didn't! I wanted to see British - American differences and I always wondered what a Zucchini is and it's a courgette! Okay, to the story...

Day 41 of 100 Days of Seddie Challenge: Chinese Food

Freddie POV

"Man I'm so bored!" Sam complained as she stretched in her bean bag. We were in the iCarly studio, Sam, Carly, Gibby and I.

"You know what I could really use right now?" Gibby said.

"What?" Sam said, staring up at the ceiling.

"Some Chinese food," stated Gibby.

"That's sounds great!" Sam said.

"Yeah," I agreed.

"Well you and Sam can go eat 'cause Gibby has to stay here and hold this china together while the glue dries because he broke it!" Carly said hot-headedly. About an hour ago Gibby had knocked over Carly's new china tea pot from where it was on the hood of the car.

"Haha, that's funny, china and we're talking about Chinese..." Gibby said, laughing to himself.

"Urgh!" Carly said frustrated.

I zoned Carly's and Gibby's bantering out and turned to Sam who was sitting next to me on her beanbag.

"You wanna get some Chinese?"

"Sure," she replied, "If you help me up." She reached her arms out and I got out of my beanbag to help her up. I caught her hands with mine and I pulled her up. My stomach flipped at the contact and I didn't know if it was meant to be a good thing or not.

Sam and I made our way out of the studio but not before shouting a, "See ya!" to Carly and Gibby who were still gluing and holding the china pot still.

Sam groaned. "I don't want to go all the way to the Chinese restaurant, and I don't wanna stay in Carly's apartment with Gibby here," she said.

A plan formed in my head. "We could just order is as a takeout and got to my apartment?" I offered to Sam. "My mom's not in so we're safe from her shouting at us about proper food and hygiene and everything else that she goes on about."

"Yeah you're mom is crazy," Sam said.

I laughed. "Yeah, so shall we go back to mine and order food?"

"Sure, why not, as long as you're paying," Sam said.

"When do I not pay?"

"Touché," Sam said.

We walked back to my apartment and when we got in I grabbed the phone.

"Wait Sam, you better take your shoes off," I said. I removed mine too and I collected Sam's as I went to put them away. I started to punch in the numbers for the Chinese restaurant down the street.

"Tell them I want noodles!" Sam said walking into my kitchen and looking in the fridge.

I ordered the food and I sat down on the couch. Sam swiftly followed.

"Find anything in my fridge?" I asked her.

"Nah, you've just got a load of snacks that are either gross, healthy, or both. I don't know how you can live here."

I laughed. "I've been asking myself that for the past seventeen years," I told her.

I looked at Sam sitting there beside me and I noticed something about her, something that I hadn't before. I realised that was actually a girl – a beautiful one I might add – and that she had grown up. She wasn't the same girl that used to bully me until I cried when I was thirteen. She still was, but not in the same way. She still had the long blonde hair but her tomboyish clothes were gone to be replaced with heels and boots and skinny jeans rather than her sneaker shoes and her cargo pants. Her teasing on me was toned down as we grew older and we were better friends – best friends.

"What are you staring at?" Sam asked me.

I shook my head and said, "What?"

"You were staring at me, why?"

"Oh, I just...Nothing," I started to blush.

Luckily she shook it off. "When's the food gonna get here?" Sam whined.

"I dunno, they said soon," I told her. "Calm down." I smiled.

She smiled back at me and we were staring at each other smiling. I did more thinking and as I looked straight into those same blue eyes that I had looked into for so many years, I realised one thing. That I did notice her and that I did...dare I say it...love her.

I loved Sam Puckett and I was afraid to admit it.

Sam POV

The Chinese food finally came after half an hour of long awaitedness and it was here. I almost missed the knock on the door because I was so lost in Freddie's eyes. In those however many minutes of looking into them I felt like I was pouring myself into him and he was telling me things that I hadn't know. I realised that he was a man now and that he wasn't the tiny little Fredward Benson that he had been four years ago, and I didn't miss that little Fredward. Well I did a little bit 'cause it was easier to torment him, but I liked the new Freddie, he was tall and muscular and good looking and...Right, better slow down before I get carried away.

Freddie was my best friend and I wouldn't change him for the world. He would help me with my problems and I would help him through his – very subtly.

"Dude, get the door," I said unwillingly. I didn't want him to move.

"What?" he asked dazed.

"The door. Go get it," I said slowly.

Freddie broke our gaze and I felt like I had just been released from a huge magnetic force.

"Oh right, okay," he said. Freddie got up and went to answer the door. A few minutes later he returned with Chinese food.

"I'm so excited for this food!" I said jumping up and down. Freddie laughed and it always sounded like bells chiming.

"Calm down and then you can get food," Freddie said as if I was a little kid.

"Fine, just hurry up!"

Freddie dished out the food and we had half and half of all of the sharing's against my will. I would have had all of it but Freddie wouldn't let me.

"No Sam, I want food too!"

"Yeah, but I want all of it," I said, spelling it out.

"Yeah, but I paid for it," Freddie said, mimicking me.

"Urgh, fine!" I said giving up. We sat down at Freddie's couch to eat.

I was nearly finished eating when Freddie rubbed his finger against my lip. I looked at him and he shyly looked away.

"Um, you had a little, um, rice on your top lip..." he said sheepishly.

"Oh right, um, thanks," I said, secretly liking his shyness.

I smiled at him and he smiled back. We started a conversation about whether Carly reminded us of someone from the show Drake and Josh but we couldn't put our finger on it. She could no way be Megan, they were too opposite. We shared some laughs about it and I ended up having a really nice night.

It was getting late and I decided that I had to go.

I sighed. "I better go, I'm staying round Carly's tonight."

"Aw, okay," Freddie sighed.

"I'll see you tomorrow, 'kay?" I said.

"Yep, I'll text you to wake you up, we have school," he said.

I groaned. "Urgh, school! I haven't done any homework!"

"Don't worry, I took care of it for you," he told me.

We were by the door by now.

"Seriously?" I asked him, bewildered.

"Yeah," he said smiling. I smiled back.

"Thanks!" I said and I hugged him and kissed his cheek. It was too long before I realised what I had done but I didn't care. I liked the hug and the kiss that I gave him.

I pulled back out of our embrace and sighed for the millionth time tonight.

"I'll see ya tomorrow, Freddie," I said. I was running out of nicknames.

"Okay, Princess Puckett." That nickname never got old.

I opened his apartment door and walked out. I felt a hand on my shoulder as soon and I left and Freddie spun me round and I was caught by a pair of lips on my lips.

I was stunned but I got out of my traced and closed my eyes and kissed back. Freddie pulled away and I smiled and him.

"Bye, Benson," I said and walked into Carly's apartment leaving Freddie on the other side of the door.
