Everlasting Love ch36
Rookie seemed fitting and I think Sam liked that idea. Our little Rookie. We spent the rest of the day talking about moving in together; we were both excited as we had never talked about this before as we had been a bit unsure of our relationship.
Even saying 'I love you' was scary for both of us; I said it first and then Sam said it when I was holding a bomb, and now we both say it every day to remind each other.
I might have been harsh when I rejected the key; I was scared at the time as when Sam gave me his key the last time he asked for it back after we broke up; so to say I was hurt would be an understatement, I should have told him when he offered the key to me a couple of days ago but I didn't know how too.
I decided that I should tell him how I felt that day, I mean I don't want to keep it from him any longer, I looked at Sam, I cleared my throat "Do you remember the other day when you offered me the key to your place?" he looked at me "Yeah and you didn't take it, because it was boring and you couldn't be tamed" I looked stunned and slightly angry at myself "I'm really sorry but, the last time you gave me a key, you then broke up with me and then asked for it back" he nodded "I know, and I shouldn't have, we shouldn't have broken up, if we hadn't have then I wouldn't have got with Marlo and then we would have been together this whole time and you would have taken the key" I nodded, "If you still have the key then I would be happy to have it" he smiled at me "It's ready when you are McNally".
I was so glad that we finally had that conversation, it was driving me crazy. I looked at Sam and smiled "l love you" he smiled back "I love you too" he kissed me and asked me "Why didn't you tell me how you felt?" I shook my head "I think it was an underlying fear that you might regret giving me the key and then take it away or something" he looked at me and pulled me in towards him "McNally, I would never have taken the key away from you again; I will never do something like that again, I'm sorry that I made you feel that way".
We hugged and promised that we would never talk about it again; as we were moving up together and we were happy and that was all that mattered in the end. Day thirteen was a special day; it was different from the other days we had been here and that was a good thing.
