Sorry for the late update I hate writing on computers 'cause I can never find the time.

Once again I own nothing but the ideas. Enjoy.

Because of their friends and parents they spend the next two weeks avoiding each other and just feeling miserable. These feelings of sadness and loss started to prod questions in each girl.

Another couple of weeks and those questioned had answers. The girls just had to find the courage to tell the other.

Sam's p.o.v.

I really need to talk to Brooke. It sucks that we aren't talking. I miss her. A lot. It's weird I can't keep my mind of her. Thoughts of what she would say in situations, being next to her, sharing my bed with her. Shit there goes the tingly feeling again. Its strange it only happens when I think of Brooke or when I'm near her and she smiles at me. Oh shit I think I do. Crap. I should just go talk to her. But I can't it's Brooke. I can't tell her I have feeling for her she would kill me.

As Sam was coming to her shocking revelation Brooke was next door coming to the same realization.

Brooke's p.o.v.

I wonder what Sammie is doing. What? No I don't. Brooke scolded herself. This is ridiculous. Nicole was right I have to stop talking to Sam. But she's so funny and smart and when she smiles its just wow. I just feel the need to be looking at her watching those perfect lips move. Brookes eyes go wide. OMG I like Sam and not just in a friend or step-sister way either. I like like her. OMG who even says that. I have to talk to her.

Brooke got up of her bed and walked to Sam's room knocking softly on the door. She stood waiting for an answer willing the butterflies to disappear. When she entered the room she found Sam face down on her bed mumbling

"Um Sam can we talk?" Brooke asked softly while stepping further into the room.

"Oh hey Brooke. Um yeah sure." Sam smiled while moving so Brooke could sit down. "I have to talk too."

"Wow déjà vu." Brooke muttered causing Sam to look up sharply before shrugging. "Anyway. I'm not sure how to start but I know that I want you to know that I missed you a lot." Brooke looked at a spot just past Sam scared to see her reaction. Sam took her hand in her own.

"Yeah me too. I sort of realized something from missing you." Sam said even quieter than Brooke's previous statement of missing her.

"What?" Brooke asked while playing with loose strands of the bedspread , unsure of what the other girl had on her mind. Sam didn't answer at first instead getting lost in an internal battle. After a few moments that the unease had to settle in Brooke's mind Sam finally looked up with a nod of decision.

"Sorry if I'm wrong." Sam stated while shifting her gaze back and forth from Brooke's eyes to her mouth. Slowly she leaned in closer to Brooke. Finding no resistance she placed her lips on Brooke's own. It took Brooke a few seconds to catch up to what was happening then she was returning Sam's kiss with a message of love and want in return. After a bit Brooke brushed her tongue against Sam's top lip to get Brooke to let her in. once assess was granted the pair explored each others mouths completely until oxygen became a stopping factor. When the girls pulled back they were met with huge grins and smiling eyes "WOW!" Sam breathed out when she was finally able to form words. Brooke giggled at the other girl's response to their kiss even though her racing heart reminded her she was thinking the same thing.

"Yeah and to think I was just going to ask you out." Brooke sighed relieved she wouldn't have to anymore.

"Yes." Sam said pulling Brooke in for a much needed hug only to find a confused look on her face when she pulled back.

"Yes what?" Sam raised her eyebrow in response. "Oh you mean you want to date me." Brooke realized

"Duh. Dork." Sam giggled giving Brooke a playful shove.

"You're the dork." Brooke countered pushing Sam back. Sam quickly pounced onto Brooke pushing her onto her back and straddling her. Once settled Sam began tickling Brooke feverously while the girl under attack tried to throw her off. When Brooke finally gave up struggling and begged for mercy instead Sam's smile changed from teasing to predator sending tingles threw Brooke's body. Sam stopped the tickle attack and began a different kind of attack soaking in passion. Sam bent down and captured Brooke's lips in a very heated kiss. They became lost in the kiss and gentle exploring touches that they hadn't even noticed the door opening till Jane gasped in shock. Hearing her mother gasp Sam jumped off Brooke. Jane took in the sight of the two girls blushing deeply and breathing heavily and was outraged.

"You lied! We asked if you two were sleeping together and you both said no and then I find you like this." Jane ranted.

"Mom we didn't lie to you guys." Sam argued. Jane sighed before leaving the room. Brooke and Sam gave chase.

"Mom can we explain?" Sam begged. Nodding Jane grabbed Mike and sat on the couch.

"Ok we did only go to the hotel to talk." Brooke began only to pause nervously unable to continue.

"And lately we have been avoiding each other. But we discovered we missed each other and felt something for each other then one thing lead to another and we ended up making out. Which is when Mom walked in." Sam finished quickly. Mike got up and started passing before turning to Sam.

"Sam what is it you feel for my daughter?"

"I love her and I think I am in love with her but I don't wish to harm her. I would never harm her intentionally." Sam answered nervously. Mike nodded while turning to Jane who also nodded.

"And Brooke how do you feel about my daughter"

"I um… also think I am in love with her." Brooke answered just as nervously Jane and Mike again nodded at each other.

"Ok we are ok with you two dating. But you don't stay in a bedroom together with out us at home and the door stays open if you're going to sleep in the same bed at night." Mike informed the girls.

"What?" Both girls gaped at the same time.

"I'm sorry girls we respect need for personal privacy but too much privacy leads to sex and sex changes things. Especially when it's too soon. Your living together as part of our family and we don't want to think of our daughters having sex let alone together. So you go slow. Enjoy getting to know each other and when you move out you can do whatever you like. Understand." Receiving nods from both girls they got up and left the room. The pair left in the room jumped up and embraced each other tightly.

"So now all that's left to do is tell people." Sam grimaced at the idea. "Or at least our friends."

"I don't think I want to but I also don't want to hide my love for you ." Brooke spoke softly before kissing

Sam

"So when should we tell them then." Sam asked after breaking the kiss.

"Um how bout we tell your friends, and Josh and Sugar Daddy and … what's wrong?" Brooke stopped seeing Sam's face drop.

"I just realized you're with Josh." Sam moaned moving across the room. Brooke moved to her shaking her head.

"No baby. We broke up a week ago. I never would have responded in kind to your move if we were still together I swear. I love you and only you." Sam smiled kissing Brooke again

"So are we telling Satan?" Sam asked turning her head slightly to the side.

"No. Just Josh and Sugar Daddy and your friends." Brooke stated strongly. "And maybe if unavoidable Mary Cherry."

"How about we tell them at lunch together." Sam suggested. Receiving a nod from Brooke she started dragging her towards the stairs. "You ok with the door open rule 'cause I would love to spend the night with you?" Again Brooke nodded while moving in front of Sam and pulling her to her own room grinning. When Jane walked past Brooke's room she saw the two girls snuggled deep under the covers with peaceful looks on their faces.
