Chapter 2
He gave in.
Danny couldn't help himself. Right in front of him, was a girl that he had been best friends with for so long, a girl who he probably felt more for than he previously thought. And she was currently kissing him. Full on the lips. Arms wrapped around his neck. Everything.
Danny felt himself snake his arms around her waist, as they both became lost in the kiss that they both had wanted for awhile, without realizing it. It felt weird to say it (in his head), but he felt like this was right.
But of course he had completely forgotten that Sam had been acting really strange only a moment ago.
What was the harm in this? That's right. Nothing.
They both were indulging themselves in the kiss, until a sudden interruption intervened the moment.
"What the heck is going on here?" A familiar person stood by, astonished. Yet a smile erupted on his face within seconds. Danny broke the kiss, because Sam had been too lost in it to notice Tucker's presence. Danny quickly removed his hands from Sam's waist, but her hands refused to detach themselves from his neck. He picked up her arms, and moved them himself.
"Tucker-" Danny brought his hand up, as if to gesture to Tucker to stop assuming things. Then the one word that left Tucker's lips made Danny's eyes narrow, and heart beat quicken.
"Lovebirds."
Usually, Sam would join him, but this time, Danny was alone in blurting out the familiar comeback. "We're not love-" He stopped his voice, remembering what had happened, and based on the previous events, they certainly weren't just friends anymore. Just friends don't have talks about feeling more than just platonic feelings for each other. Just friends don't kiss each other like that.
Tucker's smirk contagiously spread over his face, and Danny wasn't quite sure what to say. Should he tell Tucker to leave? Because he did kind of want to get back to kissing Sam. Wait, what?-
"I knew it! You can't deny it this time. I always knew you two would end up together," Tucker said, his words drowned in pride.
Danny could feel his own eyes glare. He looked to Sam for back up, but she had seductive smile on her lips and she seemed to be focused on Danny. Danny gave her a questioning look.
Then Sam grabbed his hand and stared directly into his eyes with hers, the depth gone from her purple irises. She had narrowed her eyelids, sending him a silent plea for more of him. Sam's fingers were lingering on Danny's face, while her other hand was lightly gripping his.
"Come by my house tonight, okay?"
This was not Sam. There was no way this was Sam. She was too different, never had she acted so- so-
Danny found himself nodding like a half-paralyzed obedient dog, lost in her eyes.
Who cared if she was seemed changed. Change was good, right?
Her smile grew wider and she turned to walk away. And her walk- it appeared different too. It was more prideful, more confident. Sam barely ever walked like that.
Once she was out of sight, Tucker came towards Danny. "What happened? Why are you going over to her house tonight?" Tucker questioned suggestively, eyebrows wiggling and everything.
Danny wanted to be serious right now. He really did. But he couldn't focus, not when his long time best friend had just told him she had liked him for a long time. Not when she had kissed him like that. Not when she had invited him over to her house that night, carrying a seductive tone in her voice.
Danny felt his pulse quicken as he thought of why she could want him at her house tonight.
"She- she was acting weird. Really weird. She told me she had always liked me more than a friend. Then she kissed me," Danny replied reluctantly, stuttering. "And you kissed her back," Tucker corrected, making his smirk gain weight.
"Well- yeah, but-" Danny fumbled with his thoughts. He couldn't find words that could possibly make sense when expelled from his lips.
"Isn't this what you wanted?" Tucker had suddenly become serious.
Danny took a second to think. Was it what he wanted? He had known Sam for such a long time. What if this ruined everything? On the other hand, he had always felt something more for her. Even though he chose to deny it sometimes. His mind distanced itself from reality as he thought of Sam's lilac eyes, her shiny black hair. He thought about her unique personality, her intelligence. The way she smiled. He knew that he couldn't push away his feelings forever. Danny's heart was still beating fast, as the realization that he needed came: he needed Sam.
"Yeah. It is."
Danny left Tucker standing there as he walked away himself.
Tucker was confused by Danny's weird actions, and didn't move. "Where are you going?" he said.
The sun was setting by now, and Danny had somewhere to be in an hour. He might as well change out of his bathing suit first.
"Sam's house!" Danny yelled from at least thirty feet away. He wasn't going there directly, but he did intend on going to her house.
Tucker now stood alone by a deserted pool and the color orange painted the sky. "Why does everyone keep leaving?"
The sun had set, while the sky was dark and plagued with dim stars.
Sam's door was knocked upon. The door was opened by none other than Sam.
Danny stood on her doorstep, cleaned up but in his regular clothes. Sam smiled wide, and grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him into her house. She immediately led him to the downstairs home theater. Danny didn't really know what to expect, but he couldn't help but hope that this night involved kissing again. You know, as long as they were more than friends.
Sam sat on the couch, and Danny followed her lead.
She pressed the play button on the remote, and a movie started.
"What movie are we watching?" Danny asked, trying to get Sam to stop smiling and staring so much.
"Zombie Horror 4."
Danny's eyes were widened slightly, and his own lips then formed a grin. That movie wasn't even on DVD yet, and he and Sam loved that movie.
"I knew you'd be happy." Sam giggled a bit again. What was that? Sam doesn't giggle.
"How did you get it? It's not on DVD yet!" Danny was excited regardless of the misplaced giggle that left Sam's lips.
"Pulled some strings." The movie was beginning, so silence ensued. But then Sam reached over and covered Danny's hand with her pale hand. She scooted closer to him, removing the unwanted space between between the two. Danny stared at her with slight confusion. This might take some getting used to.
But what was "this"? Was it... Did this mean that they were dating?
The movie had only been about twenty minutes in when Sam looked to him, love written on her face.
"Danny?"
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me."
I hoped you liked it. Reviews are greatly appreciated, whether it be for suggestions, advice, compliments, or whatever. Just don't be mean. Thanks!
