"I've never been kissed before," Josie continued, looking down at their
connected hands.
Once again Sam was dumbfounded at a new revelation of Josie's life. Since Sam hadn't run away from her, Josie finally looked up into his shocked green eyes.
Flabbergasted, Sam finally asked, "How can a beautiful, sweet woman like you never," he trailed off, shaking his head incredulously.
Josie began explaining, "I have always thought that there's one person you're meant to be kissing for the rest of your life. I have been waiting for that right person, because when I finally get kissed, I'll know. There's that moment, when we kiss, all the world around us gets all hazy and the only thing in focus is ourselves."
Sam's heart was pounding fiercely and his hands began shaking as he stared deeply into the blue skies inside Josie's eyes. Knowing that she was talking about them, he reached out and tucked a curl behind her ear, then caressed her cheeks.
"You're amazing, Josie Geller," Sam said huskily.
She closed her eyes and he bent down to brush her smiling lips with his own. Josie was right. It was an incredible experience, a blend of sweetness, erotic sensations, and passionate embrace that stole their breath away.
Her scent filled his senses, her pliant mouth moving against his, driving his pulse to madness. She let out a small moan of pleasure, dazed and overwhelmed.
Even if no further words were needed to be spoken, Sam was still reeling with happiness when Josie opened her eyes, ran her fingers softly through his hair, and pronounced "I love you too Sam."
He picked her up and hugged her fiercely as he rained down kisses all over her exquisite face. Josie couldn't help but laugh with delight at his response. It was the best night of their life, a night for new beginnings and happy endings.
Sunday afternoon's baseball game finally came. Sam had contacted his best friends Jeremy and his wife Arlyne, excited at the prospect of introducing the love of his life to his friends and vice versa. He knew they would love Josie just as he does, since she's the complete opposite, Thank God, of his ex Laura who was stuck up and vicious.
As they came down to find an empty seat on the bleachers, Jeremy and Arlyne spotted Sam near the dugout. They grinned to each other as they saw a sweet smiling beautiful blonde woman sauntered up to Sam and kissed him softly on the mouth, their arms wrapped around each other.
Arlyne sighed contentedly as her husband wrapped his arms around her and commented softly, "They look just like us, sweetheart."
Nodding his head, Jeremy added, "Yeah, they're totally in love with each other."
Josie and Sam reluctantly released each other as the players got ready for the game. Josie waved to Rob who was standing behind the fence, and walked to the stands across the aisle from Jeremy and Arlyne. As she passed, Josie gave them a hearty "Hello!" and a welcoming smile before sitting down. By this time, the crowd was getting thicker as Rob's fans came out to watch him play even if it wasn't a professional game.
Riley Matthews, another close friend of Sam's was late from his office. He could only spare a moment to change into a sweater instead of his suit jacket. At least now he looked casual instead of a hard businessman. He barely made it to the only empty seat left in the stadium, which was next to Josie.
Riley couldn't believe his luck, being late actually has its rewards. The only seat available for him is right next to a gorgeous woman with sparkling eyes and beautiful smile.
"Hey beautiful, this seat taken?" he flashed her a handsome smile that could stop traffic. Women could never resist his charms and dark good looks, so this one shouldn't be a problem.
Josie looked up, blushing at the compliment, and being her usual cheery self, gave Riley the go ahead to occupy the seat next to her.
Jeremy and Arlyne were worried about the situation. They would glance now and then to see how Josie handles another hunk who seemed very interested in her. They don't want their best friend Sam to go through another terrible relationship. To their profound relief and amusement, Josie didn't take her eyes off Sam for more than 3 seconds. She managed to be polite to Riley, although she wasn't too keen on having a conversation with him. She was very involved with the game, and more importantly Sam. Arlyne nudged her husband and both chuckled at Riley's frustrated look, his attempts to get to know her were thwarted.
Riley was dumbfounded, he seemed to be losing his touch with women. He started skimming Josie's profile again as if to figure out how to get the best response from her. Amazed, he discovered that she was smitten with his best friend Sam. She has a loving look in her eyes whenever they connected with Sam's green ones. They both would break into sunny smiles that would go on forever. Riley couldn't help but laugh. She didn't even give him a second glance, but she was watching Sam raptly throughout the whole game. Riley suddenly remembered that Sam had invited him to watch the game and also so he could introduce his new girlfriend. He was happy that Sam finally got rid of the witch Laura, beautiful woman outside, but ugliest one inside. Riley thought that if the woman next to him was Sam's new girlfriend, then he would wish them happiness.
Josie was startled to feel someone touching her on the arm, trying to get her attention. "Yes?" she murmured.
"Are you Josie Geller?" the man next to her asked.
Seeing her nod with a curious expression, he explained "I'm Riley Matthews, Sam's friend."
With a dazzling smile, she shook his hand and said, "It's really nice to meet you, but how did you guess?"
"I know Sam has a new girlfriend," he answered, "but I haven't talked to him much, so I didn't know what you looked like or anything." Riley then chuckled at the humorous situation as he continued, "I figured it out when you and Sam kept staring at each other as if you're the only two people in the word, (grinning wickedly) and besides, you didn't even give me the time of day."
After getting a drink of water, Sam glanced up and felt a stab of jealousy. Josie was laughing and conversing with his friend Riley. As much as he liked the younger man, he couldn't help but worry at his womanizing tactics. Sam trusted Josie, but he was still afraid of a possible attraction between Riley and her.
Sam and Rob's team had won the game, and the crowd was positively screaming with delight. Sam was also reassured when Josie ran down to the field and hugged him enthusiastically.
They shared a quick kiss and Josie shouted, "You were wonderful Sam! I love you so much!"
"I love you too sweetheart," Sam answered with another kiss, this time a bit longer.
As both pulled back, Sam waved to Jeremy and Arlyne, then talked to Josie, "Hon, I want you to meet the rest of my friends."
"I'd love to Sam, but let me congratulate my husband first," Josie said with a sly smile.
Puzzled, Sam turned to where Josie was pointing, and chuckled when he saw her brother Rob. "Sure, don't want to get him jealous with all the attention you've given me."
Thankfully, Jeremy, Arlyne, and Riley, aware of Sam's fear of heights, had come down to the field to congratulate their best friend.
"That was awesome, man!" Jeremy high-fived him.
"Hey Sam!" Arlyne chimed in, hugging him, "Great to see you again!"
"You lucky dog!" Riley playfully punched Sam on the arm. "You've got an amazing woman there buddy!" he exclaimed half serious.
"Who's she with?" Arlyne wondered out loud, watching Josie and Rob tickling each other.
Sam grinned wickedly, "Oh, that's her husband." He then laughed uproariously at the incredulous expression on their faces, it was priceless. Giving them a moment to compose themselves, Sam proceeds to tell them about his previous misassumption.
Meanwhile, Josie didn't notice the three friends who were listening to Sam, she was too busy trying to sneak behind him. She wrapped her arms around his midriff and said, "I miss you sweetie."
Pleasantly surprised, Sam turned around and teased her with a grin, "after 3 minutes?" He happily hugged her back though, until his friends cleared their throats.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Josie, this is Jeremy, Arlyne, and Riley whom you've met."
Josie went forward to hug each as Sam rattled off their names, "Hey guys, I'm so happy to finally meet you!" Then, feeling a burst of inspiration, she suggested, "Let's all go to Rachita's, my treat!"
Once again Sam was dumbfounded at a new revelation of Josie's life. Since Sam hadn't run away from her, Josie finally looked up into his shocked green eyes.
Flabbergasted, Sam finally asked, "How can a beautiful, sweet woman like you never," he trailed off, shaking his head incredulously.
