Here is chapter 14, finally! Enjoy and don't forget I love your reviews.
When Boydd first drove me and Sam back to our apartment were now sharing, he slowed down at the same old apartment that I visited when I was checking out for a place to live. I knew that instant that it would be apartment 38, the one I couldn't even enter because the place reminded me too much of work.
"Have fun you love birds" Boydd said as he parked.
By the look on both Sam's and my face, we were both completely surprised. How would Boydd know about the letter and us staying together? I think it hit us about the same time that when Boydd said loved birds, he was talking about how were suppose to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Phew
When Boydd left us on the sidewalk and sped off I decided to break the awkward silence.
"Sam, I thought I wouldn't see you for another couple of months". I said in a shy voice.
Just remembering the note I wrote Sam, telling him how I've liked him ever since we first worked together.
Right before I left Sam's place, I took a picture of the note so I could always have it with me. I thought that if I ever missed Sam, I could go back and look at the picture and try to imagine us laughing together. It worked for awhile, it did help.
'You can't get rid of me that easily" Sam said as he grabbed my small suitcase and made his way into the building.
"Lemme guess, apartment 38, at the end of a dark hallway with 30 year old paintings of grapes and flowers" I was just hoping that I was right, otherwise it would have been kinda weird.
"Were you watching me while I was undercover again McNally?" Sam said in a witty tone, but I could tell I freaked hi m out.
"Good guess" I said with laughter while climbing the stairs behind Sam.
Much to my non surprise, it was door number 38 that Sam put the keys in and opened the door. It was just as ugly as I thought.
"So this is what it looks like on the inside" I chuckled and confused Sam even more. I should probably explain myself before Sam thinks I stalked him again.
"I was looking at this apartment before I left your place, it's funny because I hated it so much that it left an imprint in my mind". I said while sitting down on my new very bouncy couch, I approved.
Sam sat beside me and let out a sigh, I have a feeling were going to have either an awkward moment or burst out into intense making out. It got awkward.
"Sam, I'm sorry" I needed to say something and this probably wasn't the best but it was something. I truly was sorry, I left Sam behind without saying goodbye. All I left him was the letter which I still don't even know if he read.
"McNally, there is nothing you have to say sorry for, I screwed up. I wish I could have stayed behind, with both of us still living in my apartment. But I left you with nowhere to go and without saying a proper goodbye, that wasn't right on my part". Sam was staring into my eyes while he said this. I knew he really meant it.
I couldn't think of anything to say really, maybe something along the lines ofit's okor don't worry about it. But I couldn't, I took it hard and I imagine Sam did too.
So I just hugged him, I wrapped my arms around him. I didn't expect myself to do this, but my body just took over control. Missing Sam was pretty bad, those three months I did spiral out of control and other people noticed too. Tracy would say He'll be home soon, don't worry, whenever I would look back at his spot in the debriefing room, and all I ever saw was an empty space. My work started to get sloppy, I couldn't concentrate. I think Frank had something to do with the fact that I ended up in UC, he knew I missed Sam, even without me telling him. He noticed how depressed I was getting, I wonder if it was him who called Boydd first...
Whoever made it happen, I love them. They brought me together with the one person I've had feelings for, for over two years.
"I'm glad your here, I missed you too" Sam said with his arms wrapped around me.
"Though there is something you should know, It's probably been torturing you alive to know this. I read the letter, I have it with me. I could never have left it behind, it was the one thing I had of yours. I missed you, there's no one here I can talk to. I'm the one who made the call that I needed a partner, I was hoping that it would be you. When I first went UC I tried to imagine a life without you in it, I tried really hard. But in the end, I needed you, and I'm glad you're here with me". Sam was trying to keep some amount of emotion tucked inside, just enough so he wouldn't cry.
Me on the other hand, couldn't keep my emotions inside. I had tears rolling down my face. This is the moment I waited those three months for. This wasn't what I had in mind, but I like it. I feel like this is where I belong, with Sam in an old apartment building catching bad guys. Like it should be.
