Part 6
She woke up to the feeling of Jack's arm wrapped loosely around her waist. She slowly slipped out from under his arm and out of the bed. She quickly got dressed and left the room. It took her a few minutes to find a piece of paper and a pen to write him a note. When she was done writing the note she set it on the pillow and walked out. She started walking down the street when her cell phone started vibrating.
"Hello?" There was only silence, "Hello?"
"Sam?"
"Sabrina?"
"I'm sorry. I realized I can't tell you how to live your life. I missed talking to you."
"It's okay. I understand where you are coming from. We've been friends practically all our lives and we protect each other. It's what friends do."
There was a compatible silence. "So, how are you and Chuck doing?" Sam asked.
"Well, last Monday was our fifth year together and he planned this really special night."
"What did he do?"
"Well, we went to this new restaurant in town. We ate, then we went back to his house. After a while of sitting there talking he asked me to marry him."
"Well?"
"Well, what?" Sabrina teased.
"You're killing me with suspense."
"I said yes and then we celebrated."
"So you guys finally…"
"Yes." Sabrina cut in. Sam could hear the smile in her friends voice. "When we are on the subjects of relationships, how are you and Jack going?"
"Okay, I guess. Last night was pretty amazing, but…" she paused.
"But what?"
"He doesn't know."
"Doesn't know your age?" Sabrina guessed.
"Correct. It's not what your thinking. I tried telling him yesterday before anything happened, but one thing led to another and then the most amazing night in my entire life happened." There was another compatible silence Sam spoke up again. "So, when is the big day?"
"In a couple of months. It's just going to be a small ceremony. Our parents, siblings some of our closest friends. You should be getting the invitation soon."
"I'm happy for you Sabrina."
"Thanks." her friend replied.
"Sam!" she turned around and seen Jack walking toward her.
"Sabrina, can I call you later?"
"What's going on?"
"When I woke up this morning I wrote Jack a not and left. I needed to think."
"Does he looked pissed?"
"I can't tell from here, but I'll find out soon. Bye."
"Bye."
"Sam!" She just stood there and watched him jog towards her. "What is this?" he asked showing her the crinkled piece of paper.
"A note." she stated.
"Why did you just leave?"
"Last night was wonderful. Beyond wonderful. I just - I got freaked. I haven't had someone like you for a while. Most the guys are just there. Then you came along and I feel drawn to you. I woke up this morning and I needed to think, but I couldn't think with you so close."
"We're okay right? You don't think last night was a mistake? That we're moving too fast?"
"It was amazing." she replied moving closer to him and giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "I just need to think about things and if you're there, all I'll think about is you."
"Sure know how to boost a guys ego." She gave him a small smile.
"I just need some room to breath. Give me a couple of days."
"Sure." Jack replied. They shared one more kiss. "So, I'll see you when you're ready."
"Thanks for understanding." She started walking away when she turned back around to look at him. "You were right, you know."
"What about?" he asked confused.
"About Sabrina. She called me. It all worked out."
"That's good. I'm glad."
"Me too. I'll talk to you soon."
Jack stared after her as she walked away with her head down.
