Freddie's POV:
My mouth fell in shock. Mostly because I wasn't expecting that at all, plus she.. uh.. well… looks like she already would have gotten it considering her body…. Wow that was embarrassing!
"Oh, uhmm… I'm sorry?" I stammered. What the hell was I supposed to say?
"SORRY!!?? YOU'RE JUST SORRY!!! Do you know what its like to have your period, Benson?? Oh wait, you're a guy and don't have to deal with it! I don't even have any pads or anything!" She cried.
Oh jeez… what am I supposed to tell her? "Why don't you just ask your mom for some?"
"She's visiting her sister in Vegas, and Carly's not here… and I have no money and can't drive… OHH WHAT AM I GONNA DO??!"
I felt horrible for her, so I didn't even realize what I said until I left my mouth. "Hey… maybe I can o buy some for you?" Crap! What did I just do??
She sniffled. "Would.. would you really do that for me?"
Well, there's no way out of it now. "Yeah… umm, what kind of uhm… pad do you want?"
She sighed. "Just get Always, I heard that they work well. Now hurry up before this toilet paper leaks out!"
I cringed and ran into town. I passed by the Groovie Smoothie and sighed. I guess I wouldn't be goin there today. I stumbled into CVS and went into the, ahem, "Feminine Products" aisle. I gazed around in wonder and picked up a box of tampons. When I realized where they do I through the box back on the shelf. An old lady next to me started glaring.
"Watch it! Why are you here anyway?" I felt my face turn bright red.
"I'm helping out a friend, okay!?"
"She must be a very special friend if you're going through all of this trouble for her!" By now, I'm sure that my face was purple. I grabbed a box that said Always Infinity and ran out of there.
The man working the counter gave me a weird look as I handed him the pads. I groaned and through the money at him and ran out the doors.
When I came back to the park Sam was still on the bench, looking impatient.
"Here," I thrust the bag containing the pads at her, "Are those the right kind?"
She peeked inside. "Yup, these should do fine." She gave me a big smile. I sighed in relief. It would've been bad if I had gotten the wrong kind!
"Good, cause I am NOT showing my face around that store again!"
"Did they give you a hard time?"
"Hell yeah, an old lady yelled at me for just being in that aisle!"
She blushed. "Well… thanks Freddie. It was really sweet of you to get these for me."
My mouth hung open in shock. Sam Puckett just said THANK YOU? She stepped closer to me and gently put her lips to mine. Then she ran off and was gone.
Did.. what… did Sam just kiss me!!?? I smiled and touched my lip, the old lady was right. Sam is a special friend.
I decided that my smoothie could wait. The kiss was enough to celebrate about.
