I never knew it would be this big of a hit, lol. Thanks so much! I got so many reviews so fast, lol. Anyway, here is your next chapter, it kinda revolves around only D/S again this chapter, but we all like it anyway, right? A little bit goes into Valerie knowing, but not too much

Chapter 2: Love ya

It was cold water, cold enough to make you shiver after about an hour in it, I even had to say it myself. I could tell Sam was ready to get out of it as well so I did the honors of crawling out of the water.

"I was waiting for that," she smiled and followed behind me. She grabbed out a beach towel, we had brought them down, and she laid it down across the sand and got her self situated on it. I laid mine down next to her and just sat there, the sun dried my back off quickly in my slouched position.

"Nice to take a break, huh?" She asked me, a month's break from fighting ghosts was something I needed, since I usually battled them every single day of my life, I hardly ever got a break.

"Sure is, and I'm sure Valerie is feeling the same way."

"Yea, except she doesn't work nearly as hard as you do, she only seems to come around when she feels like it."

"Yep, I never see her fighting off half the ghosts I have to."

"Oh well, she does have a job and all."

"Yea, I guess so," I said, I never even liked to think of her, let alone know that I was kinda on this vacation with her. Sam hated her as well, especially after the time where we kinda liked each other for a little while, although now I wanna know what was wrong with me when I was thinking that.

"You wanna head back up to the hotel?" Sam asked me, and she sat up, to look at me, squinting her eyes from the bright sun behind me.

"Whatever you want to do," I said, and we both folded up our towels and headed back up towards the hotel. Tucker and Valerie were over playing volleyball with a whole bunch of people we didn't even know, but they acted as though they knew every single one of them. Tucker was a people person though, Sam and I were loners, we preferred being on our own or in our case just the two of us.

We walked through the halls, back over to our room that was close to the front of the place, so it didn't take long to get to our destination, unless you count the long walk to get back to the building. When we got up to the room, Sam sat down on the side of her bed, and I sat down on the side of mine so that we were facing each other.

"We just going to hang out?" She asked me.

"Yea, sounds good to me."

"Tomorrow we can go mountain climbing? And go down the hill and everything."

"Yea, since I know I'm safe with you around," she smiled and then got up and sat down next to me. I put my arm around her shoulder; we seemed more like boyfriend and girlfriend than best friends. If someone watched us for one day, they would think we were going out with each other, I would ask her tonight maybe. Or on a night when the stars are shining brightly and the moon is hanging overhead casting a glow across the earth that was the night I would ask her.

"Hey guys," Tucker said busting in through the door with Valerie, the two of them were smiling as though life couldn't get any better.

"Hey Tucker," Sam said, and I let go of her, trying to act innocently, hoping they hadn't seen anything.

"You guys going to come to the beach party tonight?" He asked me setting, that was all he came to see us for obviously.

"I dunno," I shrugged and looked at Sam for an answer.

"Depends on if we feel like it, why?" She answered.

"Just wondering, so we could look for ya. Well, we have to go back down to catch chicken, you guys wanna play?"

"Sure, why not," Sam said and took ahold of my hand. We followed them back down to the front of the beach, the crowded part of course. I hated being around so many people, but we could wander off away from the major crowd a little ways while we were playing, but we also couldn't stay to far away. That was the whole point of the game was to attack other people and not be a chicken and run away. Although, I had never played this game before except for with Jazz when I was really little.

"Wow, crowded," Sam said looking at all the people on the beach you could only see sand in little cracks between people.

"Just a little, they must have all come from the volleyball…"

"Oh well, I told Tucker we would play," she said, and we walked down to an end that had fewer people, but was close to where the game was going to be held at. The whole hotel was probably filled up with people, it was amazing how much people were here. All most all of them were kids too, this must have just been a popular time for it.

We both entered the cold water once again and we walked up in the direction towards the other people. Sam was still a little used to the water so she made it in with no problem.

"All right! Everyone please get with your partner, and let the game begin!" An announcer said, this place was so cool to ever have an announcer for all the games that were played.

"You ready?" I asked Sam, and she nodded, hopping onto my shoulders. We walked up towards the rest of the crowd, but kept our distance, that way we could wait till they all attacked each other, that was my plan.

"It's kinda fun watching them all," Sam laughed watching all the people look like a bunch of idiots trying to knock each other off of their partner's shoulders. It was so amusing that I wasn't paying attention and I felt my feet slip from a blow at Sam. It was Tucker and Valerie of course, they had to pick on us since they knew us.

"You guys don't look to involved," Tucker said, it looked like he was using all he had to hold Valerie up, he was weak, it didn't seem like his type of game. I was strong and the fact that Sam weighed close to nothing it made it seem like a walk in the park.

"That's because we are strategyzing," Sam said, and Tucker looked up at her confused, "Big enough word?"
"That isn't a big word. Everyone knows it."

"We don't have time to mess with them," Valerie said, and Tucker wobbled off away from us towards the crowd.

"Tucker is gonna go down fast," I laughed and we watched him until he was seen no longer amongst the crowd. It did start to thin out a little, with so many people there were so much in there that either had no idea what they were doing, or they were weak. Tucker and Valerie were amazingly still up when it evened out to about the last 20 or so groups standing in the water, we weren't going to stay safe much longer.

"We're the chickens in this game, huh?"

"Yea, pretty much," I said, and stood where we had been standing the whole time. It narrowed down to the final ten and that included Tucker who was now looking as though he was going to fall over dead rather then get knocked over by other people.

But we got knocked out more easily than anyone, and it happened within a couple of minutes. While I was getting my amusement out of Tucker and Valerie I felt my feet slip out under me and both Sam and I went plunging down under the water. When I came back up I first checked to make sure Sam was still Ok, and then we both bursted out in laughter. Some guy had knocked my feet out from underneath me and that was all it took.

"Wow… and to think we were doing so good," I laughed as the two of us made our way back up to the beach. Sam rung her hair out while she was laughing along with me.

"Yep, Tucker and Valerie came in second, do you believe that?"

"I know, it's kinda hard to believe," I said as we trudged up a hill back to the hotel.

"Bet I can beat you there," Sam challenged playfully, and I nodded, "Your on."

We both ran up the hill, both of us laughing so hard it was hard to even run because we couldn't take breaths very easily. She was a little ahead of me so when I caught up to her I picked her up in my arms and back up to the building.

"Hey! No fair!" She said, and I laughed and touched the building and smiled at her, "I beat ya."

"You cheated," she said and I set her down on the ground. We walked back into the building hand in hand and walked back to our room once again. This time I was sure we would stay since the sun was setting and we were both worn out.

"I think I am gonna sleep forever," I said and fell onto my bed and Sam walked into the bathroom. I could hear her brushing her hair trying to make her hair untangled.

"I'm taking a shower, Ok?" She asked.

"You don't wanna smell like the lake?"

"No, not really," she said grabbing clothes out of one of her bags and she walked back into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. I got myself lying on the bed correctly and I fell asleep to the water running. When I woke up it was to loud music and yelling outside. It had to have been going on for a while, it just took me a while to wake up from it. It was that damn party, how long was that going to last?

"You can't sleep either?" Sam asked looking out the window at the lights flashing and the people messing around.

"No, not anymore. You get any sleep?"
"For a little while," she said, and walked away from the window and sat beside me on the bed, and I sat up.

"I think we are the only people not down there," Sam said and I glanced out at the window then back at her, "Probably."

"That means Valerie and Tucker won't barge in on us," she said edging onto something.

"Yea, they should be having a wonderful time."

"Actually for them it probably is fun."

"Probably, what do you want to do until they turn the music off?"
"I dunno, they are probably going to be doing that all night long," she said and I realized that was probably the truth, and we weren't going to get any sleep tonight at all so it was a good thing we headed back here and slept for about four hours.

Sam got back up and closed the curtains on the hotel room and then came back by my side.

"The lights were getting annoying," she said, and I nodded. Something felt different between the two of us, I guess it was because both of us wanted to say those three magic words, but it wasn't going to happen. We both didn't know how to say it, it never seemed like the right time. Plus I was afraid that I was going to slip up or something if I tried.

"So… what do you want to do?" She asked me breaking the odd silence between us and I looked up at her expecting her to have a plan. I wished I could say it. It was there waiting to come out, but when would it be the right time? It never seemed like the right time, never.

"Umm Sam…" I said, I felt like as though I was going to slip up, but I was tired of having it on my mind all the time and never being able to let her know although I knew that was all I wanted.

"Yea?" She asked, and it made it all the more worse when she had her full attention on me.

"I…" I began, but I was going to stutter so bad that I just cut myself off, and she looked at me expecting me to finish, although I knew she had an idea of what I was trying to say.

"Sam, will you go out with me? I love you," I said the best I could but it was quiet and unsure, although I was sure about it all, but she ignored that all the way.

"Of course," she replied and leaned over the top of me, our lips meeting as we pulled each other into an embracing kiss. We got as close as we could against each other our arms wrapped around each other.

We pulled apart after a long kiss catching our breath. She smiled at me and I embraced her in my arms, holding onto her tightly. I would never let her go…

All right, a little short, but I have to go to bed soon so I had to cut it off That was a good place to end it anyway, right? Yea… lol. Anyway, please update, some of the Valerie issue will be in the next chapter, decided to not put any in this chapter
