…..

I wake up to the bright light streaming into the room from the window. I turn my body to see Sam still sleeping. Her hands lie under her hands with her curls all over the place. I guess she's not a pillow person. My eyes trace down her naked body that is half covered by the enormous duvet. Her chest is covered by her arms. I move closer to her.

" Stop looking at me." She whispers. Her eyes stay closed.

" You're so beautiful when you sleep." I say. She places her hand on my mouth.

" Tired. Shut up." I don't say anything, I wrap my arms around her body and hold her close to me. Her breaths touch my skin, sending chills down my spine.

" I love you." She says sweetly.

" I love you too." I say. I kiss her on the cheek. She moves herself on top of me and I hold her to my body. Her face pressed up against my heart and her other hand, lying on my chest. I move strands of her hair from her face. She doesn't say a word. I kiss her on the forehead.

A Month Later,

It's no secret that love is the most powerful thing in the world. Sam and I's hands intertwined as we walk down a busy street. Heading over to drop off Sam at this store for her and Carly to shop for the summer. I'm meeting up with Gibby for a guy's movie time, including Keegan. Carly and Keegan ended up doing certain things after prom, leading up to their boyfriend and girlfriend announcement. I turn my head to Sam as her long curls are placed in a pony tail.

" Why do you keep smiling like that?" She asks.

" Because you're beautiful." I reply.

" Like I haven't heard that one before.." I kiss her on the cheek quickly and she giggles as she pushes me off. We walk down another block.

" Still remember prom night?" Sam asks.

" What part?" I joke.

" You know what part." Punching my arm.

" I do remember that part."

" Well, if you're up to it…..my mom is gone for the weekend. And I thought since we are the real deal now,"

" All you have to do is say you want me back in your bed." I say bluntly. She stops and looks at me.

" We're here at the store. Text you later." Sam says, kisses me on the lips. She walks into the girly clothing store. I look up at the store name, Sophie's. I head down five more blocks to the movie theatre.

" So what shirts are you looking for?" Carly asks, as we go through the racks.

" Something loose and bright colored." I say, pulling out a neon blue tank-shirt. I grab a pair of ripped faded blue jean shorts. I'm continuing my ripped jean look. I love it too much.

" How are things with you and Keegan?" I ask Carly as she examines a pair of pink jeans besides me.

" There good. Keegan is really pumped for his summer job."

" Interning at that newspaper place. Right?"

" The Seattle Times." Correction for me.

" So..."

" Yeah. It's all he talks about." Her voice sounds glum.

" Why the sad tone of voice?" I ask. She takes a step closer to me and looks around the store.

" We haven't…interacted since….prom." In a low voice.

" And this is bad because?"

" I've started looking up certain words on zaplook."

" Seriously! All you have to do is send him a text like, you, me, bed, now. Boys love that."

" Like you and Freddie have recently interacted." Now I'm starting to get annoyed with us using the word 'interacted' for the true word, sex.

" I don't know why everyone thinks you need sex! I hate this generation thinking we need it all the time! I was telling Freddie that we could be alone this weekend at my place to hang but no, he's like 'if you want me in your bed just say so'. It's like, seriously!" I say.

" You sound equally sexually frustrated as me."

" Shut up before I stab you with heels." I say, picking up some lavender colored pumps. Carly just laughs but I give her the serious look and she runs to the other side of the store.

Later on I find myself sitting in my neon blue room, playing with my laptop on my neon yellow bed, as my mother has just left for her weekend vacation in once again, Vegas. I hate when her friends take her to Vegas. I always get random drunk texts from my mom asking if I fed the fridge. My ringtone starts blasting 'Go Outside' by the Cults. I see the caller id 'TWIN'.

" What do you want Mel?" I ask, putting the phone next to my ear.

" Is mom seriously going to Vegas for the second time in one month?" She asks.

" Yeah, I'm starting to believe she has another family there."

" Just wanted to make sure. I didn't know weather or not I really got an email from her."

" Yes, her email address is milf-there-and-everwhere at zapemail."

" Perfect." Sarcastically.

" Hey, when are you coming home from school?" I ask.

" Next weekend." She replies.

" Got any boyfriend that I should know about now?"

" Nope. I am currently forever alone."

" Since when did you know the phrase?"

" Since my friends Tina and Caroline told me to get a tumblr."

" Dare I ask your username?" I'm guessing something along the lines of MelaniePinkPlace or RaindowUnicornMelanie. She is that girly.

" Please don't."

" Okay then.

" Got to go."

" Bye." I hang up and throw my phone in front of me on the bed. I continue to look at the movie list on Netflicks. My phone gets a text.

You. Me. Bed. Now.

My boyfriend is awesome. God love him. I hear the doorbell ring. I smile. Screw what I told Carly in Sophie's. He will be in my bed, NOW!

You know what's better than a satisfying diet drink? A satisfying ending to a great story! R&R
