Going To Be A Long Night

Aiden thought it would be a good idea to get to know Samantha. Sam seemed happy to see Jake again, and Aiden saw Jake smile a couple of times.

It was almost about midnight, when Aiden said her good byes.

"It was really nice meeting you Sam, maybe I'll get to see you again."

"It would be nice," Samantha pulled Aiden into a hug, which had Jake very surprised.

"See you later Jake," Aiden kissed his cheek and then left.

Jake closed the door, ready for Sam to talk bad about Aiden.

"She's a nice girl Jake."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm not going to lie about it. So you dated her through high school huh?"

"Yeah, but I really just want me and her to be friends."

"Me and you started out as just friends," Sam smiled.

"If you are just here to get me back Samantha…"

Sam shook her head, "I really just wanted to tell you about me possibly getting to have my daughter as my own again."

"I still think it's good news, not her getting hit, but you being a mother again."

"And this time, I'm not going to lose her."

"Whenever you need me, I'll always be willing to help you out."

Sam nods, with a smile, "That's why I loved you."

There was some silence.

"You don't love me anymore."

"I do," she nods, "But you should really give Aiden another shot, she seems less… complicated."

"I miss us Sam."

"Me too, but I really think you should rekindle your relationship with Aiden, I really think it would be fair, you both seem to like each other a lot."

"She brought back good memories," Jake told Sam.

"I know you probably think I'm lying, but I really want you to be happy, and I failed at it. So I accept if you date her."

"Samantha, I really do want you back."

"Jake, you deserve to move on, I don't want to hold you back."

"You're not going to hold me back Sam," he placed his hand on her cheek, his thumb caressing it softly.

"Jake, please don't do this. I should get going," Sam got off of the couch.

Jake got up and rushed for the door.

"If you don't want to be with me again, at least stay for tonight. It's late and you shouldn't be going out."

"Fine, if I stay, I'm going to sleep on the couch."

"Please sleep on the bed, you deserve that at least."

"Thanks," Sam nods. "Good night Jake."

"Good night Sam," he kissed her cheek. He sighed as he seen her go into his bedroom and closed the door.

Jake laid down on the couch, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he wasn't supposed to have feelings for Sam anymore, but he couldn't help himself.

Jake fell asleep, it was a peaceful sleep. It was a few hours later that he woke up to Sam screaming.

He quickly rushed into the bedroom. The sheets were on the floor and she laid in just one of his t-shirts on.

He turned on the light, and saw a sweating Sam.

He patted her cheek, "Sam, are you okay?"

"It was just a nightmare, it was horrible."

"Want to talk about it?"

She shook her head, "Please just go get a cold rag."

Jake nodded and headed to the bathroom and came back with a rag, placing it on her forehead.

"Thanks Jake."

"It's not a problem."

"Jake I know I don't want to ask, but can you stay here tonight? I feel like you'll protect me from these dreams."

"Of course Sam, want to take off the shirt so you won't be so hot?"

"I have nothing on underneath, can you get my underwear and bra off the floor?"

He nodded and handed her the undergarments. She told him to look away, while she changed.

"We should get some sleep," Sam told Jake.

"You sure you want me to stay here?"

"Of course," she pulled him close. "Night Jake."

"Good night Sam," he turned off the light, and faced her, kissing the tip of her nose.

Hours later Sam jerked up in the bed, Jake felt the stir and he woke up.

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up again."

"Don't worry about it hun," Jake caressed her bare side.

"Jake, I miss this."

"I miss this too Sam. But what about what you said about Aiden."

"Let's not worry about that right now, let us just have this night for us."

Jake nodded, and snuggled close to her, his lips brushing against her neck.

Sam was slowly removing Jake's clothes, when she stopped at his boxers.

"We shouldn't be doing this," she rolled from Jake's grasp. "I know you can't do this to Aiden."

"You're right, you're right. Can we forget this happened?"

She nods, "I think we can," she snuggled into his side. "Good night Jake."

"Good night Sam," and finally the rest of the night was just filled with two friends sleeping.

The next morning had finally come. Jake woke up first and decided to make some coffee.

Samantha was in the bed alone, right when he slipped out of bed, she felt his presence gone. So she woke up slipped on a shirt and followed the smell of coffee.

"Morning," she told Jake.

He turned around, he forgot how beautiful she looked when she woke up.

"Morning," he smiled.

"Thanks for last night Jake, it meant a lot to me. I'm glad we can just be friends."

"Me too," he smirked, kissing her cheek. "Friends can still do that right?"

"Yeah, and hug. So are you going to talk to Aiden today?"

"Yeah, I left her a voicemail, and told her I'd like to meet her for lunch."

"Good," Sam nodded.

"You sure you want that for me."

"I've learned a lot since we left each other, you deserve the best, and I think that is Aiden."

"You really think so?"

"I know so," she smirked.

"So what are your plans for today?"

They just talked a while over coffee, in all honesty, they were both happy that, they could still remain friends. Jake still felt the spark with Samantha, but she wanted him to move on happily.
