Day 45 of 100 Days Of Seddie Challenge: One Year On
Freddie POV
I woke up and looked at the date on my phone. April 9th: the day of the Lock In last year and the day of the Lock In this year. And the day that Sam kissed me, exactly one year ago. It had gone by so fast. I sighed and got out of bed. Obviously Sam would remember what today is, she made the move on me. I wasn't sure how to feel, but as soon as I saw her, I would know. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I was still in love with her, even though she probably forgot about those three words, those eight letters. She probably thought I didn't mean them half as much as I really did.
I got dressed and got ready to go over to Carly's, she was doing a project with Gibby again and I was doing a project with Sam, she was the only resort. Brad was away some place so he couldn't help with the project this year so it was either Sam or do it all by myself, so I asked her. She said yes but she said that she wouldn't do much work, but I know that she would help me if I gave her bacon or some form of meat.
I went over to Carly's to find Carly sitting down on her couch with Gibby, them working on their project. I walked in and shut the door.
"Where's Sam?" I asked.
"Oh, she's—"
"Dork," she said looking at me and interrupting Carly. She came down the stairs and came to stand by me. Just by the sight of her, curls bouncing, walking lady like down the stairs, I made up my mind. I loved her, still did. Still would.
Sam POV
I walked down the stairs and I caught sight of Freddie. I remember the day and we were going back to same place that I made my move, the move that I had been dying to make for weeks before. For a while before. It was a year ago today that I made possibly the best mistake of my life.
I still loved him as much as the day I told him for the first time and it pained me every time I didn't allow myself to show it to him.
"Dork," I said, looking at him. Our eyes met for half a second but it was enough to make my throat close. I made it look like I was my old self, like before we were together, but I was far off from being the old me. I was good at covering up my feelings in front of people I didn't want to see them – and that was pretty much everyone.
"Puckett," he said. I was standing next to him at this point and the closeness was uncomfortable because I wanted to be closer. "Shall we work on our project?"
"Uh, yeah," I said. "Carls, we'll be in the studio." That was where our project was being made. We were making a drinking flask that could fit a cell phone in there or MP3/MP4 Player, that could warm up the drink inside if it goes cold, or if you want it to cool down a little there is a dial on the side to choose how much you want it to cool down or warm up. It was quite a fun project if I'm honest.
We ran upstairs together to work on our project, it wasn't quite done but there were quite a few adjustments to be made by Freddie.
"Can't I do something to help fix it or something?" I moaned.
"No, it could be dangerous for you," Freddie told me.
"Yeah, but then it would be dangerous for you, too, wouldn't it Einstein?" I said sarcastically.
"I know what I'm doing," he said, screwing screws using a screwdriver.
"And so would I if you told me to do something!" I said, hands on my hips.
"Fine! Go to my tech cart and get me another screwdriver."
"I may not be a genius in all this but I do know they have different ends. What kind of screwdriver do you want?" I asked.
He showed me the one that he had and it had a cross sort of pattern at the bottom. "The other one to this, but smaller." he said.
"Sure thing," I said, saluting him and going over to his tech cart. There were tools in a tool box and I picked out the right one and went over to him. "Here," I said, handing it to him.
"Thanks," he said smiling at me.
"What?" I asked.
"I honestly don't know," he said. I looked at him and smiled at him, both smiling like idiots for no reason.
A few hours passed and it was time to go to the Lock In and I was petrified. I didn't want to do the same thing as last year but I so did that it was killing me.
Carly and Gibby set up in a different room to me and Freddie. I didn't know what they were doing, and I didn't really care either. Freddie and I went into another room that had supplies that we needed to make our flask. We worked for hours, just talking and laughing but I think we both knew that time was getting on and that it was getting closer to the time that I had kissed him. We didn't speak about it.
We were sitting down in the courtyard where the kiss happened, our legs stretched out and our feet next to each others, taking a break for our hard work. I looked at the clock and it was almost twelve am.
"I'm hungry," I said.
"You're always hungry," he said nudging my foot with his foot.
"And that is one of the many reasons you love me," I said, nudging his foot with mine.
He chuckled. "Yeah."
The clock tolled, telling us it was the new day. Twelve am. The time Freddie came to me.
I laughed.
"What?" he asked.
"It's weird how it's been a year, it really does not feel like it was a whole 366 days," I sighed.
"366?" Freddie asked.
"Leap year? I thought you were the smart one," I said, thumping him in the head.
He chuckled, "Yeah, me too." He sighed.
"What do you mean?" I asked looking at him.
"You were the smart one for actually making a move last year," he told me, shyly.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't have made a move if it weren't for you with your smart speech," I said, shoving him a little. He chuckled.
"Yeah," he sighed.
There was a moment of silence before I said, "Was it a good decision?"
"What?" he asked.
"Me kissing you, was it a good decision," I asked.
"Well yeah, if it weren't for that that started everything then I wouldn't still be loving y—" he stopped himself.
I stared at him in shock. Was he just about to say you? As in me?
"What did you say?"
"I meant yogurt! If it wasn't for you then I wouldn't still be loving yogurt!" he babbled.
I gave him a look that said, 'Seriously?'
"Urgh, fine! I'm in love you with you Sam, and I meant it when I told you, but you probably don't even—" I caught his lips mid sentence and kissed him. It was better than the last year.
"Love me," Freddie said, finishing his sentence.
"Obviously I still love you, you idiot," I said thumping his head again.
"Why is it that you're always the one to interrupt my sentence—"
"Hey, what time is it?" I asked, interrupting his sentence to make him laugh.
"Seriously? You had to do that? Really?" he asked, laughing.
I laughed along with him. "Oh, you know I love you really."
"Yep," he said and he leaned in to kiss me again.
A year had gone and nothing had changed. We still loved each other; I still loved him. Turns out a year doesn't really change people, it just make them think more about past decisions. For me, I decided that my decision to kiss him had been one of the best decisions in my life and now I realised how much I needed that decision. We all make decisions, some good and some bad, but all of them affect your life and others around you.
It just so happened that my decision that year ago had been the best one for me.
