Chapter 4: Wow.
After a few more hours of stories, Danny and Sam were left blushing like there was no tomorrow.
"Oh! And there was this one trip—" Hannah started. "Dinner!" Maddie called from upstairs.
"Sweet! Come on, Hannah!" Ben cried in anticipation.
Right as Hannah was about to go up the stairs she turned around to see Sam and Danny both off in their own little worlds, blushing furiously.
"You coming?" She eyed the two of them. They had moved considerably closer to each throughout the stories.
"Um, you guys go ahead, we'll catch up." Danny said nervously.
"Ok."
Soon Danny and Sam were alone and, while Danny was trying to think of to say, Sam noticed the silence and became uncomfortable.
"So, um, what's up? Why are we still down here?" She asked equally as nervous.
"Oh, I'm sorry, what?" He said as he was snapped out of his thoughts.
"I said, 'Why are we still down here?' Geez, now who's the distracted one?" She replied.
"Well you'll have to excuse me, my kids from the future just came into today and I'm a bit flustered!" He hadn't meant to sound so mean, it just came out that way.
"Oh, right, I'm sooo sorry, I forgot for a moment that it's all about you! Hello! They are my kids too, so you have no right to get angry with me!" Sam said angrily.
"Well, you don't have to be so damn critical!" Danny yelled.
"You shouldn't be so damn uptight!" She yelled back.
"Snob!"
"Jerk!"
Suddenly, in one swift motion, Danny grabbed the back of Sam's head and kissed her. Hard. She was shocked at first, but gave in quickly and kissed him back.
After three minutes, hey pulled away, huffing and puffing from lack of air.
"Wow." It was the only thing that Sam could think about at the moment.
"Yah, well, I had to tell you somehow and my first plan was going south, so, well, desperate times call for desperate measures." He said all in one breathe.
Sam barely caught what he had said, "Tell me what?"
"That I love you," He started to joke, "and by the way you kissed me back, it's apparent you love me back…and, honestly, what's not to love?" He laughed.
"You are such an egotistical pig, you know that?" She said playfully as she pounced on him laughing.
"Yah, but I'm your egotistical pig and I'm okay with that."
They started wrestling and, sure, it started out innocently enough, but before either of them knew it, Sam had Danny pinned down…she was straddling him. She leaned down too kiss him and he took this advantage to wrap his arms around her and draw her to him…then he flipped them over so he was on top, "Ah Ha!" He said triumphantly.
He rolled off her so she could put her head on his shoulder and rest her arm on his chest.
"So does this mean we're together now?" He asked.
Sam rolled her eyes, man, was he ever dense?
"No, I just like kissing you for fun." Her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"See, now, I was just about to say the same thing." He joked.
They laughed for a little while.
"So, Samantha Manson, would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, I would Daniel Fenton."
They laughed again at the use of their whole names.
"You know you're the only one who's allowed to call me Samantha."
"I'll keep that in mind…you're the only one I let call me Daniel."
"I'll keep that in mind." She said softly.
'So this is bliss?... I need more of this.' They both thought at the same time.
