It had been three weeks since Tom's announcement and Sam still couldn't believe it. It made sense but it was still surprising, especially that he'd known how she felt. She did love him, from his (for the time) green hair to his unpredictability, and this definatly counted as unpredictable. He was also drop fucking dead gorgeous which was a plus in any situation. She knew that she had to do something soon and decided to go on a walk to clear her mind.
Without realizing it she ended up at one of she and Tom's favourite places. She sighed as she sat in a kind of hiding place under some trees. No one would be able to see her unless they had a flashlight or knew EXACTLY where she was. As she watched the river she nodded off and curled into a slight ball. The next thing she knew she was on a soft pillow and her hair was being stroked. She thought she was dreaming until she saw Tom's shoes. "You know that wasn't the smartest idea, falling asleep out here alone. Something could have happened to you." "I.." she started but he started talking like she hadn't said anything. "Why have you been avoiding me? I was right wasn't I? You do want me, yet you're avoiding me. Why?" "I..don't know.." "Then i can guess. Is there something i should change about myself so you'll be with me or is it something about you stopping you from being with me?" "I didn't know if you were serious or if you were trying to trick me or something", she lied. "What makes you think i'm lying! Why would i lie to the woman i love!" "What?" she squeaked. "I love you Samantha and i have never lied to you. I'm not going to start now", he said in a low voice as he pulled her to him. "I know." "Then why do you think im lying?" "I don't. I don't know why i've been avoiding you." "Then be with me", he said in a pleading tone. "Okay", she quietly consented. "Good", he said quietly as he pulled her to him and kissed her gently.

One day when Sam was at Tom's apartment he came back in a very sour mood. "What happened love?" she asked and he sunk into a chair. "Nothing." "Liar", she whispered in his ear as she draped her arms across him. "Come here", she told him as she sat on the couch. He sat down and leaned back into her. She began stroking his hair and planting kisses in his hair and on his neck and forehead. A small smile came to his lips and he began to fall asleep. She wrapped herself around him as if to protect him. A few hours later he woke up and kissed her to wake her up. "Feeling better?" she asked. He smiled and began kissing her. The kisses slowly became longer, harder and more passionate as he gently pushed her into the couch. He had slowly begun to unbutton her shirt when she stopped him. "What's wrong? Too fast?" "No, just.." "Not here?" "Mm hmm", she nodded. He stood up and pulled her to him. He began kissing her as firmly as before as they slowly moved back to his room. He began to trail kisses down and around her neck as he gently pushed her up against the door. "You sure about this?" he asked, just to be sure. She responded by pulling him down for a kiss. He finished unbuttoning her shirt and slowly slid it down her arms and off of her. She slid her hands down to his waist and pulled him against her. They began moving backwards to his bed and he lifted her onto it and began kissing down her neck to her bra while his hands began wander. She started lifting his shirt up and over his head as she sat on the bed. She pulled him down to the bed and moved him to his back. She straddled him and began kissing all around his neck. She then started kissing and nipping along his collarbone. He could feel himself stiffening and straining against his pants as she aroused him more and more. She slowly drew her fingernails down his chest to his belt and began to remove his jeans. She slowly slid his pants down and he suddenly rolled so that she was pinned and he began to kiss, lick and nibble her neck relentlessly. Continually spurred by her moans of obvious pleasure he circled her nipples through the thin fabric of her bra. He then unfastened it and as soon as it was clear began to gently suck and bite her nipples. By this time she had her fingers twined in his hair and was very loudly moaning in pleasure as she came to a small climax. "Are you alright Sam?" he asked between kisses on her neck and lips. "Mm hmm", she whispered as he began to unbutton and slide her pants down. "You seem like you could use a little break", he whispered. "Okay." He rolled onto his side and pulled her up against him until they would have been joined if not for their underwear. They wrapped their arms around eachother and she was soon lightly sleeping. He pulled her body to his and rested his cheek on her head with a smile and a sigh as he too began to fall asleep.
