CHAPTER
7
Light shone throught the blinds of the apartment, finally
causing an exhausted Sam from her sleep. With her eyes still closed,
she thought of the great dream she had last night. Lucky and her had
become friends and he had shown her how to have fun again. It was a
great dream, thought Sam. Too bad it wasn't real.
With that last thought resounding in her head, Sam finally opened her eyes and turned onto her side...to face the man that had been in her dreams. "It was real," said Sam, completely shocked that it did. Here was Lucky, on her new bed, sleeping ever so quietly with a small smile lighting up his face. Sam's heart began to flutter as she looked at Lucky, but instead of acting on her sudden impulse to kiss him until he woke up, she decided to take the route only a friend would take. She poked Lucky in the ribs.
Lucky then woke up,
giggling, and upon seeing Sam said "Stop Sam, I'm really
ticklish over there!". Sam couldn't help herself, she started
poking him even more. In an effort to avoid her pokes, Lucky twisted
and turned. While he was laughing Lucky could only think 'Great. I
couldn't be like a normal guy and not be
ticklish'. Then
suddenly, Lucky started tickling Sam in a defensive act, and she
bellowed with laughter.
"Oh, I guess i found someone more ticklish than me!" exclaimed a joyful Lucky. With begging as her only option at the moment, she asked Lucky to stop tickling her, only to have him shake his head no. They were soon in their second fight, not even a day apart from the last, only this time it had to do with tickling. They soon were both over the edge of the bed. Sam gave one final poke in Lucky's ribs, causing him to, finally fall off the bed. Only, he didn't go down alone.
"Owwww!" cried Lucky and Sam before they burst into another fit of giggling. By the time Lucky had finally stopped, because he was suddenly aware that Sam was on top of him, Sam was still laughing. "I can't gasp believe gasp we fell off thebed!" She could barely breathe because she had been laughing so hard. She finally looked up into Lucky's face and slowly his eyes, which had only the glint of laughter now. Now it was her turn to discover how close they were. But instead of scrambling to their feet, they stayed where they were.
Time had stopped. His muscular chest underneath her fragile hands. When her fingers moved slightly, Lucky shuddered. No one had such an affect on him. But he wasn't the only one affected.
She marveled at the body she was lying on top of. Her heart sped up, and her gasps were no longer the effect of her laughter. Staring into the other's eyes, they felt a connection that they denied for so long. His eyes, thought Sam, I'm lost in his eyes. She felt scared yet excited at the same time. A good man who had dark looks at the same time (A/n I think Lucky has dark looks. He ain't goody goody ). Her hands traveled to the back of his neck and twisted and clenched into his silky thick hair. 'His hair was long', thought Sam, 'How did i not notice that? God, his eyes!'.
Her silky
tresses surrounded her wonderful face. She was sexy in such a dark
seductive way. He could barely breathe, but he didn't care. Her soft
lips, her light yet slightly built body...her eyes. Lucky had always
loved chocolate (A/N Don't really know if Lucky likes chocolate. Work
with me here). The great taste of chocolate...always addictive. He
couldn't take his eyes away from her. Their heads moved closer to the
others as their lips moved to get a taste of the others.
They
heard pounding somewhere. Their hearts were beating in excitement as
well.
"Sam?! Please, Let's just talk! Open the door, I know that your there!". Or maybe not. Just as quickly as it started, Lucky and Sam were brought out of their reverie. Cursing Jason in her mind for stopping something that could have been magical, Sam stumbled to her feet and replied to the voice outside, "Jason, I've told you everything that I had to. Now please, just let me be!" Sam quickly turned to Lucky, who had been trying to calm down about the moments before. Both were flustered and smiled shyly at the other. Lucky then said "Maybe we should cool down a bit, you know?" Sam smiled, becoming happy at the revelation that she wasn't the only one affected by the other. "Yea, your face is pretty red," joked Sam. That comment only made Lucky's cheeks glow a brighter red as well as Sam's. Shut up, thought Sam. Don't ruin it. Jason continued pounding at the door, saying how much he cared for her and he wouldn't end their relationship without a fight. Exasperated, Sam charged towards the door, briefly thinking how great the moment could have been.
Pulling the door open, Sam yelled into Jason's face with such annoyance "LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE, JERK! I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY! WE ARE OVER! FINITO. END. DONE. OVER. GONE. AWAY. CAPUT. OVER!!!!! Now, thanks for stopping by, but please leave cuz I don't know any other way to say it to you. buh bye." She was about to close the door when Jason stopped it from ever occurring.
"Sam, why is Lucky in your room," Jason demanded with jealousy. He seethed with anger. First she slept with the enemy and now Lucky? Could Sam ever be faithful. Sam, not taken aback by the question whatsoever, folded her arms across her chest, quickly gave Lucky a smile who was trying to stifle his laughter because of her outburst, and gave Jason a look of death. "One, it is none of your business since we broke up. Two, how dare you demand me questions standing outside my apartment. Who the hell do you think you are?! What your not is my boyfriend or friend whose a boy," Sam saw Lucky smile at the last statement from the corner of her eye and she desperately fought the need to smile as well, "Three, if you must know, Lucky and I had dinner last night and fell asleep while talking and right now you ruined A MOMENT! NOW GET THE FU AWAY FROM HERE. BYE." If only it was goodbye. Jason jammed his foot into the room and entered briskly into the tiny apartment. Sam was his, and only his. " I don't think so, Sam. We belong together. What do you see in Lucky. He's just a druggie who screwed up his life. He's just a piece of..." Jason never got to finish his sentence for he was pinned to the wall before he could blink.
Lucky had been amused at first, and was ecstatic when sam had said the things she did about him. But Jason had finally pushed the limit. "At least I'm trying to fix my life now. Sam knows it and so does my family. That's good enough for me. Sam asked you to leave. If you won't leave willingly, i'll have to arrest you for trespassing...unless Sam asked me not to." He remained calm for the sake of Sam and Sam only. She didn't want her to be afraid. Even more, he didn't want her to believe what Jason was about to say about him. He turned to Sam and looked at her for a sign on what she wanted him to do.
It all happened in a blink of an eye, yet Sam knew every movement that occurred like the palm of her hand. Every word, emotion, expression. It was engraved in her brain. What she didn't expect was the calm in Lucky's voice, and she realized she hasn't given him an answer. She shook her head no. "I'm not pressing charges unless you won't leave. If you won't, I'll gladly let Lucky do the paperwork for not only trespassing but harassment as well." Jason looked at her for a long time until he finally looked down and walked away. Before he could leave, however, Sam grabbed his arm. "Jason, this is the last time. I won't stop Lucky, or anyone for that matter, next time. Just go to your new life. And let me live mine." And with that, Jason finally left the apartment.
After he was gone, Sam finally looked at Lucky who was staring at his socks intently. She walked closer to him, and nudged his face up so she could stare at those wonderful eyes again. "I didn't believe a word he was saying Lucky. Neither what he was going to say. You're the manliest man I've ever meant." Lucky smiled again, the same smile that melted Sam's heart over and over. "I'm glad. I want...no I need you in my life Sam. I can't lose such a great person." She felt tears in her eyes but decided that something else should be said.
"Lucky, something was going to happen between us before Jason came. Everything would have changed, and we just declared our friendship last night. Please, maybe we should slow down a bit. We need to be friends now. I mean, sure, most of the time we are fine, but just like last night, our depression could just happen like that. Please Lucky, can we just slow down a bit?". Fear had become a factor now, not because of what Lucky might do, but the fear that Sam might have broken Lucky's heart. She was wrong, however, when Lucky smiled and said"I understand Sam. Friendship is what we need right now. But Sam," Lucky whispered, placing his hand lightly against the side of her face, "I need you to know that I have feelings for you. But I'm willing to wait. I wanna do this the right way."
Sam smiled and couldn't help but reveal her feelings to him. "Lucky, your not the only one. I have feelings for you too. You know, some guys woulda seduced me right about now, just to get there way. And you would have if you tried. But," sam paused to kiss his cheek lightly, "I'm glad you didn't. Let's do this right for once, okay Spencer?" Lucky nodded, elated that he got a kiss on the cheek. "For once, let's do this right, McCall."
