Chapter three

Sam hadn't shown up for school the next day. Danny thought it was because of her parents, she probably wanted to say goodbye to them so she just stayed home. He got a message from her in the class saying that her parents had missed the flight so they would go the next morning so the practicing 'section' was cancelled. He went to his house and couldn't stop thinking about her.

That night they chatted normally on the computer with Tucker. She was treating like she always did. She didn't give him one suggestive glance, which was infuriating because he was looking for signs that she maybe was thinking of him a bit differently. Wasn't she thinking that maybe it would change their friendship? He was nearly going nuts with the thoughts and she seemed cool, like she always was.

He was acting goofily on the school next day, he had to admit. On his mind he could only think and think again of how wonderful their kiss was. He grinned at himself each five minutes. Tucker caught him once or twice and raised an eyebrow. Danny looked away blushing, but he knew he couldn't hide forever. Tucker wasn't very perceptive, but he noticed there was something strange about Danny.

Tucker cornered him when Danny was about to leave for Sam's house. He crossed his arms over his chest while leaning o the classroom's threshold, making it impossible for Danny to leave. He had that annoying knowing grin on his face. It looked like Tucker had already figured it out.

"So, if I guessed it right, by the goofy look on your face, Sam agreed to help you out." Tucker said.

"Yes, she did." Danny sighed. He pulled out a chair and sat on it, feeling that he really had to tell it to someone before he went crazy. "We practiced yesterday." He said, burying his hand on his hands impatiently.

"Really!" Tucker sat down, too. The grin on his face vanished. He was too surprised to joke. He didn't know that Sam would actually do it! "Did you kiss?"

"Yes. The day before yesterday. My room." Danny said in a muffed voice.

"Wow… how was it?" Tucker asked, feeling excited about the whole thing.

"Good. Very good. Too good to be my best friend's kiss." Danny sighed, still hiding his face.

"Hey, but you were practicing." Tucker tried to cheer him up. "It was supposed to be good, every kiss is good it doesn't matter who you are kissing."

"But it is confusing!" Danny finally looked at him. "She's treating me normally! We were practically at each other's throats and she doesn't mind it! I'm going insane here, I can't wait to kiss her again and I feel like our friendship will be ruined forever! She acts like it was just an agreement we had, in theory, but we're kissing! We're fucking kissing and she acts like its normal!"

"Whoa, dude, calm down and breathe." Tucker said, raising his hands in case Danny decided to attack him. "It's not the end of the world. If Sam doesn't mind the whole kissing thing you can relax because the friendship won't be ruined."

"There's something changing." Danny said, calming down. "I don't know what it is, but it's changing."

"You should concentrate on just practicing, like in a basketball game." Tucker grinned, he didn't think Danny would practice kissing like in a game, but he had to encourage the confused boy. "You're kissing her because of Valerie and Paulina, remember? You surely don't feel attracted to Sam like you feel towards them."

"Yeah… I think what I feel for Sam is different." Danny finally agreed. "Maybe you're right. I'm mixing a favor for something else because of a friendly kiss."

"That's what I'm saying, man. You relax and go to her, practice some more kisses and get really to drive the girls out there totally crazy." Tucker smiled to himself. If he was correct, Danny would realize his feeling before he ever kissed anyone else.

"Yes." Danny smiled too. "Now I must go, she's waiting for me."

"Okay, you don't want to keep the girl waiting." Tucker shoved his bag over his shoulder and walked out of the classroom after Danny, seeing him rush through the corridors to meet the girl he hadn't realized he was in love with. Tucker, the cupid, was back in action.

Danny found Sam's door opened. He called, but no one answered. If her parents had really gone in the morning then Sam was supposed to be alone. He hadn't seen her grandmother or a butler.

"Sam?" He called. When she didn't answer he climbed the stairs and headed for her room. The door was halfway opened and he peeked inside. He saw her form lying still on her bed, breathing softly.

He smiled. She was sleeping with her head turned to the door, over her covers. She had a loose skirt that ended about her knees and a small top that showed her belly, just like the ones she always wore. Her hair was down and was falling on her eyes like a messy curtain. He had never thought she would be so adorable.

He was going to turn around and leave her alone when he felt something rubbing on his ankles. He looked down and saw a small white cat. He always loved animals and tried to pick the kitty up, but it ran away from him, jumping on Sam's bed, on top of her.

The movement was enough to wake her up. She stirred lazily, holding the kitty closer. She opened her eyes and saw Danny standing there, looking guilty for waking her up.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." He replied. "I didn't know you were alone… and that you had a cat."

"My parents bought him yesterday for me not to be alone while they were away." She smiled, stretching her arms and legs, still lying down. Danny watched her nervously. "Come here." She said, stretching one hand to him.

Danny felt like he was going to die this time. Wasn't she going to sit up? She was just leaning back on the pillows and waiting for him. Her face looked like they would do it for real, she was expectantly! He sat by her side and she put one hand on his shoulder coaxing him to lye down, too.

Danny did what she wanted. Sam came closer to him, putting a hand on his back and pressing closer. Too close. Now, that would be awkward if she felt him when he started reacting. The dread feeling vanished as soon as he looked at her face. She was giving him an adorable smile, the kind she just gave when she was a little girl and he offered her a lollipop.

He didn't say a word; he just leaned forward and kissed her. Her hands tangled in his hair as she contently kissed him back, letting him lead the pace. He was anxious to get to the tongue part so he just sneaked it across her lips, surprised to hear her purring like a happy cat before opening up to him. She was rubbing her leg against him, why was she doing that? Didn't see notice it was making him react to her? Wasn't she feeling it already?

He pulled back quickly, sitting up, his back to her. He didn't see her face, but he heard her breathily and confused voice when she sat up behind him.

"What's wrong? You were doing fine."

"What's wrong?" Danny was in a mix of embarrassment and rage. It was her fault in the first place; they should have kept sat up. "You felt it! You know what's wrong!"

"Is that what's bothering you?" Sam asked, confused. Danny flushed. "Look, it's nothing to be ashamed of; I was sort of expecting it." She tried to explain it gently to not make the poor boy through a heart attack. "You're a healthy teenage boy, it was supposed to happen."

"You don't mind?" The relief was so powerful that he felt light headed.

"Of course not, silly." She smiled, reassuring. She intertwined her fingers with his. He had never noticed that her hands were so small near his. "Do you want to stop for today?"

"Only if you want to." He smiled.

"Well, let's continue then."

Danny couldn't say he wasn't glad. He finally was able to relax into the kiss and enjoy it. His hands tucked behind the small of her back, kissing her urgently and fully. He felt her lips turning into a smile against his, he pulled away slowly to see her expression.

"There some new things you might want to know." She grinned naughtily, almost making Danny's heart to stop.

She pulled him down to her once more, kissing him gently, then she gently tugged his lower lip, exciting him past the point he thought possible. She left his lips and moved to his jaw, kissing and nibbling. He lay back on the pillow, encouraging her to move half on top of him and continue doing all those interesting things with her mouth. He might have a week spot on his neck. By the time she was finished he thought he would never catch his breathe again. He couldn't even think coherently.

"What was that?" He asked, breathless.

"Did you like it?" She grinned.

"Of course I did!"

"You try it, then." She lay down on the pillow giving him free access to do everything he wanted. He gulped nervously. He supported his weight with one arm, lying half on top of her just like she had done to him, careful to not crush her. He kissed her lips and did exactly what she had done to him, tugging her lips, nibbling her jaw and sucking her neck. She moved under his touch and Danny almost had a stroke when he realized she had started moaning.

He must be doing it right, then. She was enjoying it.

Danny had never felt so good in his life. It was better than score an A, better than beat all ghosts back into the ghost zone. He was happy.
