Cat woke up first the next morning. Opening her eyes to see a still sound asleep Sam with her arms around her was a bit of a surprise, but Cat couldn't help but smile. Cat seen some drool on Sam's chin and wiped it away with her thumb. Sam simply snorted in her sleep. Cat giggled and glanced at the clock, it read 9:30. Cat remembered their baby sitting job today.
Cat sighed and tried to get up from the mattress only to have Sam's arms tighten around her waist and pull her back down. Sam mumbled something incoherent. Cat giggled and poked Sam's nose. "Sammy. I have to get up. We have to baby sit some kids soon." Sam mumbled something again and pulled Cat closer. Cat admitted she wanted to stay in bed like this with Sam. She loved being in her arms and feeling protected.
Cat slipped her arms down the blondes body and stopped just above her stomach. She reached and made contact with the squishy flesh, flexing her fingers and tickling the taller girl. Cat bit her lip to stop herself from grinning at her genius plan to wake her roommate. Sam stirred and let out a small laugh before grabbing the smaller girls wrists and flipping her over pinning her with her hands above her head.
"Good morning Sam", Cat said with a smile. Sam let out a breath and looked down at the girl beneath her.
"Why would you do that?", Sam simply asked. "Do what?", Cat replied innocently. "Tickle me! You know I hate to be tickled."
"Sorry Sam but I had to wake you up some how.", The redhead said, her smile never fading. Sam smirked as she got an idea. "Well let's see how you like it!" Before Cat had time to react Sam's fingers were attacking her belly causing her to spiral into a giggle fit. "Sam!...S-stop!...I...I s-surrender!", Cat said between laughs. Sam's tickling subsided and Cat lay there panting. Sam rolled off from being above Cat and flopped onto her back beside her. A triumphant smile plastered on Sam's face. She turned her head towards the girl, seeing her still out if breath and looking at the ceiling, a small smile on her lips. "Wow.", thought Sam as she bit her lip. "I am totally and utterly in love with her. And I hate myself for it. This girl laying next to me is my FRIEND. My beautiful and amazing friend. But that's all she thinks of you as Puckett. Friend. Nothing more."
A gurgle interrupted Sam's thoughts and she looked down at her stomach. "Your tummy says it's hungry Puckle." Cat turned her head to her and said. "It's Puckett. And I guess so.", Sam replied at she patted her belly. Cat turned her whole body towards Sam. Their faces merely inches apart. The blonde stared at Cat's lips. They seemed so perfect, looked so soft. It took every molecule in Sam's body to stop herself from kissing her. "What do you want me to cook you for breakfast?", Cat asked, showing her dimple as she smiled. The smaller girls breath tickling Sam's cheek as she spoke. Sam clenched her eyes shut and bit her lip hard. She swallowed the lump in her throat before she answered, "Uh p-pancakes." Cat jumped off the bed and skipped to the door. "Kay kay!", she said happily before exiting. Sam exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. "Damn it Cat. How do you manage to do this to me?", she mumbled before deciding to get ready for the day.
