"What were you doing with him?" Josh said cooly. He squeezed her hand a little, as if to say 'I'm not mad, I just want to know.' But she could tell that he was lying. He was walking harder and faster than usual, and that was a dead gieaway if his anger.
"I wanted to meet his new girlfriend," shs said sweetly. He wouldn't doubt her innocence. No one did. And for once, Alyssa was right. Josh smiled back down at her. How could I ever have doubted her? he thought to himself. I don't love her, but she is sweet. She's also great for my image. He had a smirk on his face. He knew he was smart in his decision to date her. It really helped to date an attractive girl. Alyssa just smiled sweetly up at him, and never suspected what was running through his head.
"I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you. I'm jus a little jealous of other guys hanging around with you. You're so..." he drifted off, and smiled wearily at her. Oh.. Alyssa thought. I never really meant to hurt him, did I? He continued to stare at her as they walked down the street, waiting for a response. When she just smiled up at him, he put his arm around her and she nestled in close. Life is good, he thought. Life is good.

Sam woke up with a start. He looked over at the clock, and it had 3:08pm flashing in it's bright red numerals. He then noticed a small, warm, beautiful body pressed against the length of his. He closed his eyes, and tried to stifle the groan building in his throat. He failed, horribly. The sound of his groan brought Chelsea from her light sleep.
"Morning, Sleepy," he said softly in her ear, before kissing the side of her neck. "God, you're beautiful."
"I have to say," she said sleepily, "I was thinking sonething of the same nature about you." He smiled a her, and with a bit of her encouragement found himself on top of her again. They tickled, and kissed and purely enjoyed themselves for a while longer. Then Chelsea looked over at the clock.
"Oh, Chel..." Sam groaned.
"Oh, Sam, I have to go!" she said quickly.
"What?" he said, and looked at the clock. 3:57. "I'll miss you," he said quietly to her as she began to get dressed.
"I'll miss you, too," she said, and after getting fully dressed, she came and sat down next to him for a moment. "And I think I love you." Sam was startled, but strangely pleased. He pulled her down next to im for another moment, and took her in his arms.
"I love you, too," he whispered. She lifted her head and a brilliant grin was on her sweet face. He kissed her one last time, and they heard a car pull up.
"That'd be Gina. Bye." She pecked him on the cheek, ran to the door, gave him another brilliant smile, and ran out to blab the entire day to her friend. And for once he didn't care. He just sat on his bed with a smile on his face, and realized that his life was beginning to pull together.
