AN - Hey, guys! Sorry I suck at updating. There's been so much going on but I'm back now! I know this chapter's short, it's sort of just a filler to get me back into writing but I really hope you guys like up. Review please! xoxo. Aly.
A loud banging noise startled me from my sleep.
I jumped up and realized that I was not in my bed, or my house. Where the hell was I?
I looked around and realized that I had been sleeping on Sam Miller's sofa. I had fallen asleep in the home of a boy I had met just hours before. Could I really bed that stupid? Yes.
"Alexis Marie!" A woman shouted.
It was my mother. She was banging on the front door yelling for me. No wonder I'd been woken up.
I got up and shuffled to the door.
"Hey, mom." I said nervously.
"What the hell are you doing?" She shouted.
I glanced at the tv that was still on, the menu for Finding Nemo was showing on the screen. "I guess we fell asleep when the movie got over."
"Lexi?" Sam muttered.
"Yeah?" I said and turned to look at him.
His eyes were still halfway shut, his hair was a mess, and his voice sounded sleepy (and really hot.)
"What time is it?" He asked.
I glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's two a.m."
"Did we fall asleep?" He asked.
"Yeah, I think so." I said.
"Oops." He chuckled and immediately fell back asleep.
I laughed lightly. "Sorry, Mom. I didn't realize how late it was."
"Home. Now." She ordered. "And don't expect to be seeing this boy anymore."
"Mom!" I whined as she pulled out the door and towards our house.
"Alexis, do you understand what could have happened?" She snapped.
I scowled. "Mother, Sam was not going to rape me."
"And how do you know that?" She said.
I rolled my eyes and shoved our front door open before stomping up the stairs to my bedroom and slamming the door.
With an exaggerated sigh I flopped down on my bed and threw the blanket over me.
Typically I would be able to fall asleep within minutes but I laid awake for seven hours before finally giving up on sleep and getting out of bed.
I took a quick shower and changed into jeans and a tank top.
Mom and Dad were both at work already so I walked out the door and across the yard to Sam's house.
I knocked on the door and he opened it right away.
"Hi. I didn't expect you to come back after what your mom said." Sam said.
"She's a psycho with a full time job and she does not control me." I snapped.
"Good to know." He muttered, looking more than a little hurt.
I frowned. "Sorry. I couldn't sleep after I got home. I'm grouchy."
Sam smiled softly and grabbed my hand, pulling me into the house.
He led me to the sofa and we sat down. He turned Finding Nemo back on a wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Maybe this will help you sleep."
I smiled. "Maybe."
A few minutes into the movie, I was ready for sleep.
Just before my eyes slid shut I looked up at Sam and said "Let's do something fun when I'm not so out of it."
"Of course." He whispered.
I snuggled into his shoulder and immediately fell asleep.
(Sam's POV)
Lexi fell asleep with her head resting on my shoulder, the same way she'd slept the night before.
I couldn't help but smile as I felt her soft, warm body curl up beside me.
I barely knew her but there was something about her that I couldn't shake. I wanted to know her. And I wanted her to know me.
She was gorgeous and seemed incredibly sweet and funny. But I felt like there was something else about her that I couldn't really pinpoint. When she laughed the light in her smile never really reached her eyes. Her fingertips always seemed to trace the same line on her wrist over and over again.
There was definitely something I didn't know about here.
Something I intended on finding out.
