Ch 25 –Poker Fun-

When Sam emerged from the bathroom almost 45 minutes later, she looked around her room expecting to find her adorable boyfriend. Not finding him, Sam decided that she would finish getting ready without any distractions.

"Your beautiful, Your Beautiful" song came from the phone on her desk.

"Hello?" Sam asked, as she tried to find shoes to match her outfit.

"Hey Sam, umm are you going to Darrell's poker party?" asked one of her closest friends Taylor.

"Yeah, are you going?" Sam asked, pulling on her white flip flops.

"No…" Taylor moaned, "Darrell really wants me too, but Madison can't go, and my parents said if she didn't go I couldn't go!"

"Why?" Sam asked, "Your parents use to think Madison was a horrible influence on you!"

"I know" Taylor explained, "And since she's not aloud to go, my parents think that it must be horrible if she can't go!"

Sam sighed, lying down on her bed. "Well this sucks, me and Jen are going to be the only girls there!"

Taylor laughed, "At least you get to go" she mumbled under her breath, but Sam was still able to hear.

"I'm sorry Tay" Sam said, "Look, I'll call you when I get back…"

Taylor sighed on the other end of the phone, "Okay have fun, and tell everybody I say hey."

"I will, bye Tay, talk soon" Sam said, before hanging up.

Sam sighed, as she threw her phone onto her bed. Standing up so she could finally see what she looked like, she had to smile. She was wearing tight ripped jeans, with a while polo shirt, all in all the whole outfit showed off all of her curves. Her hair was straightened with a couple small pieces pulled back in a clip. With her makeup done, Sam grabbed her purse, and headed down the stairs.

"Well look who's finally out of the bathroom" said Jake who was sitting at the table drinking a coke.

Sam smiled, as she went to the fridge to grab a sprite, "Yes well not all of us can get ready in 5 minutes" Sam commented.

Jake smirked at her, "Yeah, not everybody can be as skilled as me."

Sam rolled her eyes, "Come on cowboy, we better go before your ego gets any bigger."

Jake grinned as he followed her out into the car. Running ahead to open up the truck door for her to get into, he smirked as she rolled her eyes at him. Closing the door behind her, Jake grabbed the keys out of the back of his jean pockets, and got into the drivers seat.

"Are you sure you want to come this early?" Sam asked as she fiddled with the radio. "I mean it's only going to be Darrell and I setting everything up."

"I'm not letting you and Darrell in a room alone together" Jake muttered, as he gave her a look.

Sam stared at him in shock, "So what you don't trust me now?"

"No Sam," Jake explained, "I just don't want you to spend an hour all alone with Darrell who you'll see all year, when you can easily spend it with me!"

Sam smiled, as she took his hand, and entwined it with hers. "I'll miss you too." Sam said with a laugh, as she recognized Jake's uneasiness for leaving for college.

Jake squeezed her hand, letting her know he understood as they pulled up to Darrell's house.

Sam hopped out of the truck, grabbing her phone, and leaving everything else in the car. "Hurry up Jake!" Sam yelled at him from the porch as he was just now getting out of the car.

Jake held up a finger indicating for her to wait a minute, as he typed something on his phone and then put it in his pocket, only to get it out a minute later.

"What's so important that you'd be texting people now?" Sam asked him as he joined her on the porch.

"College people" Jake explained, as he knocked on the door.

Darrell answered the door, "Hey Jake, Sammy Girl, come on in" Darrell said letting them inside.

Jake let Sam go first, but he was sure under her breath she said, "College people" under her breath sarcastically.

"So, leaving tomorrow huh Jake?" Darrell asked, as they were setting up the poker table.

"Yeah" Jake said as he and Darrell carried the table out into the back yard. "Sam's acting weird though again, you know asking a whole bunch of questions…"

Darrell nodded his head, "Well I wouldn't blame her, it's the first time you are going off to college dating her…Your not thinking of breaking up with her are you man?"

"No! No!" Jake said quickly, shaking his head, "No way would I do that, I'm just saying."

"Okay good, cause if you hurt her," Darrell said, letting the table drop, "I'd have to kill you."

Jake smiled lightly at him, "Since when have you become her little protector?" Jake asked jokingly.

"Since you became her boyfriend" Darrell said as he walked past him and into the kitchen.

Jake rubbed the back of his neck in discomfort, he wasn't sure what was wrong with him, he was just nervous to go back to school.

"Hey baby" Sam whispered to him as he walked back into the house. She slid her hand around his, and Jake felt relaxed with her. "What are you thinking about?" she whispered to him.

"Just college" Jake mumbled, as he looked down at her smiling face.

"I think I've got something that could take your mind off of that" Sam whispered before getting on her tip toes to kiss him passionately on the lips.

Jake pulled away for a second, "I think it's working, maybe if we continued doing this I would completely forget about it" Jake said, while Sam laughed and pulled him in for more.

10 minutes later, Darrell re-emerged from the kitchen, and cleared his throat. When that didn't seem to get the notice of the couple, Darrell decided to make his presence known. "Hey no PDA until after the game!"

Sam pulled away smiling at Darrell, "Aww but that ruins all the fun Darrell, plus I was thinking we could have a little three some over here!"

Jake pulled away from her giving her a gagging look.

Sam laughed, as Darrell cheered, "Oh come on Jake, you know I was just kidding."

Sam shook her head as the two guys started talking about football, and left to go into the kitchen.

"Hey Samantha Ann!" Jen squealed from the door as she walked in.

Sam nearly jumped, "Since when have you just walked into people's houses without knocking?" Sam asked, laughing as she hugged her friend.

"Darrell doesn't care, plus I saw you through the window." Jen explained, as she put her keys in her pocket, "What are they talking about?" Jen asked, indicating to the two boys on the porch.

"Football" Sam added with an eye roll, as she got the chips and drinks out.

Jen started to help, "So who alls coming to this thing?"

"I'm not too sure," Sam said, looking deep in thought, "I know we're suppose to be the only girls, but who knows, most of the guys are coming."

Jen nodded as the two girls plopped down onto the couch.

The two sat in silence, until the two boys came back into the room.

"Well everything's all set up, I think that everybody's coming over around 8" Darrell commented, as he sat down between Sam and Jen.

"You don't even know when people are coming over?" Jen snapped at him.

Sam rolled her eyes, 'something's will never change' Sam thought to herself, as she walked over to Jake.

Darrell gave Jen a glare, "Yeah, people arrive to poker when they arrive, there's no time they have to come."

Jen rolled her eyes at him, "Very responsible Darrell." Jen commented.

"You know you don't have to be here Jen" Darrell said.

Sam laughed, as Jake kissed her neck from behind, drawling the attention of the two fighting teens.

"Ugh Jake man, Sammy Girl, no PDA in my house!" Darrell said jokingly, as he pretended to gag.

"Okay we'll just take it outside" Jake said, as he pretended to walk outside.

Darrell shook his head, as he went to answer the doorbell.

An hour later, the party was full, poker was being played, people were dancing to music, somebody had started on bonfire outback, and beer, coke, rum, vodka, and sprite were everywhere.

Sam decided just to stick to some mixture of the rum and coke, as she wanted to be there for Jake.

She had been sitting in Jake's lap for the last 10 hands of the poker game, and each time he had won.

"You're my good luck charm babe" he whispered into her hair as he kissed her neck.

Sam closed her eyes, fighting the urge to turn around and capture his lips to hers, but she refrained from doing so.

"Hey Jake, stop hogging Sammy Girl, she's normally my good luck charm!" Darrell drunkly slurred as he pointed to Sam.

Jake laughed, as his hands slid farther down the inside of Sam's thigh.

She had goose bumps where his hands lingered on her body.

As the boys game continued, Sam looked around the house trying to find Jen. She soon spotted her sitting on the couch, talking happily into her phone. 'Probably Tristan' Sam thought to herself.

Tristan was Jen's new love interest, he was basically a boy version of Jen, except he was a lot less…what's the word…relaxed then Jen.

Taylor, Madison, and Sam had all casted bets as to when they'd start dating, Sam had by the end of the month, Madison had never, and Taylor had this week.

Yelling brought Sam out of her thoughts. Some kids were screaming out by the fire.

Most of the guys stood at the table to look outside, when the sound of sirens brought everybody back to reality.

"Everybody get inside, and hide all the beer!" Darrell yelled, sobering instantly.

There had been a mad rush from the inside of the house, to grab all the beer cans and the bottles of vodka and rum.

About 12 of the guys who were playing poker, stood up, and grabbed the 2 kegs and rolled them into the shed by the side of the house.

Sam had went around, grabbing cups that even smelled like they might have had alcohol in them and threw them into a bag, and put them in the back of Darrell's closet.

"They're here!" a kid yelled from outside by the fire.

Sam rolled her eyes, "Oh yeah, like they wouldn't have heard that" she whispered to Jen who chuckled.

All the people form inside jumped onto the couch and turned on the TV, as thought they had been watching it. The music was turned down a little lower than before; Sprite and Coke were the only two drinks that were able to be visibly seen. All the boys who were playing poker continued on with their game.

Sam strained her ears to hear the cops, but it seemed like their car had pulled into the driveway, and then left.

"What the heck?" she heard somebody beside her say, as they stood to look out onto the driveway. "Hey Darrell man, they left."

Sam smiled, when she heard Darrell sigh with relief.

When as suddenly as everything had disappeared, everything had re-appeared and the party was back to fully swing.

Almost 6 hours later Sam was heading home with Jake. The party had ended at 2 and it took them an hour and a half to help Darrell clean up the whole place. When they were finished the group had departed, saying they would see each other at the air port.

Sam sat in the car even after she and Jake had pulled up into the ranch yard.

"Well, I guess I'll see you first thing this morning?" Jake asked, as the two held hands on the porch.

Sam looked up at him, "Stay the night Jake…" she whispered, as she pulled him inside.

Jake nodded his head, following up the stairs and into her room.

Nobody was home, Jake and Sam both knew, and they both knew what was going to happen as Sam closed the door quietly and locked the door behind her.
