iJe T'aime

Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly

A/N: Okay peeps, this is the first chap of my latest story. For those who don't take French, including me, je t'aime is French for I love you. I know that means the title is iI love you but it's just a title so deal with it. Okay so this chap is in freddie's POV. Enjoy.

Prologue

I don't know when these feelings came about. Everyday I've been trying to deal with this constantly growing problem. It gets harder everyday. Probably cause she is one of my best friends. Another being that she could kill me if she wanted to. But all I know is that I can't stop thinking of Sam Puckett.

I guess the problem surfaced when we had our first kiss. Everyday, I wonder how simple life would be if I had never suggested it. I would simply spend everyday obsessing over Carly and would never have to fear for my personal well being.

However, no matter how simple life would be if I hadn't suggest to kiss, I would have never wished I had done otherwise. The kiss was totally not what I expected. There was a simple reason I wanted to kiss. I wanted to get it over with. Little did I know that it would result in my total falling for Sam.

Now I go completely gaga everytime I see her. I can't speak, I start to sweat and worse I feel the urge to just tell her how I feel instead of bottling it up inside. But if I ever did that, I could most probably start arranging my funeral.

I guess that's one reason why I'm so in love with her. She keeps me on my heels and I never expect whatever she's going to dish out. It's like tasting something while you're blind folded. Whatever it is that you get, you either like it, or hate it.

I have to admit, sometimes the pranks are fun, but sometimes it can really cause me pain. But that's just Sam. She has the sort of independence that I don't. I guess that's another reason. I admire her, not only because she's beautiful, but because she can take care of herself, which I hardly do well.

But now, I feel like it my turn to be independent. I have to stand up to my fears. I have to have a back bone. So I've decided that today will be the day I tell Sam how I feel about her no matter what the consequences. So I'm going to march over there and say it straight out. I don't care who is there. Even if I had to say it in front of the whole school, I would.

I stood at Carly's door. I held my head high, shoulders back and tried to be as confident as possible. But if she doesn't except it then let it be and just go back to being friends. I knocked on the door and walked in without waiting for an answer. I closed the door behind me and looked around the apartment. Sam was sitting on the couch staring at me, probably cuz I hardly entered without an invite.

Carly was walking in from the kitchen.

"Hey, what are you…" I cut Carly off.

"I have something to say and I don't care who hears." I stood there waiting for someone to object.

"Well go on." Sam said.

"Right, well I just wanted to say…I just wanted to say…I just…" I stammered. The confidence I had was gone in a second.

"Spit it out Fredward." Sam shouted. Carly was standing there with her arms crossed and an eyebrow cocked.

"I wanted to…Can I talk to you in private?" I said and grabbed Sam and started pulling her up the stairs towards the iCarly Studio. It was more of a statement than a request.

"Okay okay I'll come. You don't have to pull." Sam said as she wriggled out of my grip.

We headed up to the studio where I stood facing the wall, Sam standing behind me.

"So Freddork, what was it you wanted to say to me that is so private you can't say it in front of Carly." Sam stated.

I tried getting the words out of my mouth but nothing came up. I turned around to face Sam. She was staring at me, confused by my weird behaviour.

"Okay I'm just going to flat out say it." I said.

"About time." Sam deadpanned.

"I LOVE YOU. There I said it." I said before looking down.

Sam didn't say anything. I probably was a little blunt with the comment but it was her fault, she was being so pushy. I waited there for some time but still no response. I looked up to see Sam running out the door and down the stairs. I quickly followed suit.

I ran down the stairs. Before I reached the living room, I heard Sam shouting Carly's name. I soon reached the ground floor and saw Sam with Carly in the kitchen. Sam was shouting so I could hear what she was saying.

"Carly! You have to slap some sense into that boy. He's talking crazy talk." Sam shouted.

"I was not! I meant every word of it." I defended myself.

"Yeah right! You just…" Sam started but was cut off this time by Carly.

"Guys guys stop shouting. You're giving me a headache." She shouted. Both of us stopped shouting before Carly started speaking again. "Okay, now tell me what you said to her." She directed her question to me.

"I just said I liked her and she…"

"Whoa whoa that's not what you said. You said you LOVED me." Sam shouted.

"So? I mean…" I was cut off by Carly.

"You said you loved her? Whoa a little quick aren't we?"

"Will everyone stop interrupting me?" I asked. Both stopped talking and stood there. "Okay, so I said I loved you, but if you don't feel the same way, just tell me and we go back to being friends."

Sam didn't speak. Carly looked towards her. "Well?" Carly asked getting impatient.

"I…I don't know." Sam said.

"Okay, I said I wouldn't pursue the matter and WHY! WHY!" I was down on my knees begging Sam.

"So much for letting it go." Carly said.

"Sam, I don't think I can live without you." I said.

"Just give me time Freddie." She said before pulling me up.

I didn't know what to feel. I felt hurt that Sam didn't feel the same way but also hopeful that there was a chance that she did. She didn't say no when I asked her. She said I don't know which was way better. I just have to figure a way to sweep her off her feet. Then it hit me.

"You want to go to France with me?"

A/N: Okay so that was the first chap. I know I would receive many reviews saying Freddie was ooc but I figured that since Freddie was like that with Carly, why not Sam. Anyway hope you like the story and tell me what you think. Do you like the idea. I decided on france since it's one of the most romantic places in the world. Especially Paris. So please review.
