" And we're clear!" I say backing away to the computer cart. I press the spacebar ending it. Sam and Carly fist pump and smile at each other like they usually do. I look over to Sam who has seemed to find her self in a small laughing fit. Carly's phone starts to beep.

" Who is it?" Sam asks.

" Adam. He wants me to come over to the Groovy Smoothie." Carly says smiling. Adam and Carly had really hit it off after the whole fan-war at Web-a-con apparently. I walk over to them and stand near to Sam.

" So why are you still standing here?" Sam asks motioning her hand to the door.

" I should at least help you bring down the boxes of random stuff to Spencer's room." Carly says.

" Did Juliet go and put boxes away before Romeo took his life for her? " Sam says.

" Juliet was already faking death." Carly corrects her.

" Go to Romeo!" Sam says pushing Carly out of the room. I chuckle. Sam turns to me and takes off the ridiculous fur coat Carly had made her wear for a skit.

" Come on let's do this before my stomach calls for food to be in it." She says. I bend down and take one box as she takes the other. We both make our way to the door but Sam stops to pick up the fur coat. I watch her bend down and her red shirt rides up revealing no other than a tattoo right above her ass. I move closer to see the image more. It was a little ballerina jewelry box. Not colored, just black.

" You have a tattoo above your ass?" I exclaim. Sam jolts back up and turns to me. She pulls down her shirt. Her face was in shock and her mouth was open trying to figure the words to say. I look at her questionably.

" It's, it's…..nothing." She says disbelief. I drop my box and Sam tries to think of her next move but she stands still. Before I was standing right next to her, she tried to bolt for the door. I grip her waist and make sure she doesn't run away. I get my hand on her shirt and examine the tattoo again.

" Can you please not tell Carly." Sam says in a begging voice.

" But why do you have it in the first place?" I ask. Sam escapes my grasp and looks at me.

" I was walking past a tattoo shop coming home last week and I have been thinking for some time to get a tattoo. It wasn't an impulse but more of a desire." Sam says with her arms crossed trying to make it like it seems okay.

" I am not going to try make you get ride of it but you do realize that those things last forever. I mean forever."

" I know that Benson." Sam says. She turns her body and takes her box, walking out of the room downstairs. I take my box and follow her. I drop the box in front of the mini hallway. Sam had made her self to the fridge. I stand behind her and wait until her face was looking at mine.

" What?" She asks looking at me holding a peppy cola in her hand.

" What does the tattoo mean anyway?" I ask. She puts the peppy cola down. I looks away and then looks at me.

" When I was five, before my dad left us, he gave me a jewelry box with the ballerina that will twirl around. I was five and I thought he was coming back home. It was then when I was seven that I realized he was never coming back. There are no pictures of my dad. My only remembrance of him is that jewelry box and there is a part of me that still wishes for my dad to come home but I know he won't." Sam says. She had grown depressed by telling the story. She was no longer looking at my face.

" What happened to your dad?" I ask sincerely. She looks up at me.

" He died in battle. When I was five, he was recruited to the army." Sam says. My heart sunk when I heard her say that he died in battle. Oh god.

" So…..why is it above your ass?" I ask. Sam punches my arm playfully with a smile.

" You heard the whole story but you still question why it's above my ass?" Sam asks. She points her finger to me. " Your a pervert."

" Oh really?" I say.

" Really."

" Really?"

" Really!" I wrap my arms around her and picking her up, twirling her around. Sam holds on to my hands. Sam gets a laughing fit again. She plants her feet on the ground and looks into my eyes for a minute. It felt like forever. I started to melt into her blue eyes. My head had gotten a mind of it's own and started to slowly lean down. I feel Sam's breath. I close my eyes before kissing her when,

" Wait!" Sam and I look away to see Spencer looking at us. " Let me get a picture of this!" He adds before running off to his room. Sam screamed her battle cry but I held her back from attacking Spencer. Then the front door opens revealing Gibby.

" You two are dating?" Gibby exclaims happily.

" Gibby!" Sam and I yell at him. He backs out in the hallway and runs away. Spencer comes running out of his room.

" Hold still." He says. I let go of Sam and she runs away while punching Spencer in the stomach before reaching the door. Sam turns to me and smiles before running away.

I think she should have gotten a tiger tattoo.
