"Hey man, Kim just showed up, I gotta go. I'll see you at practice tomorrow, ok?"

"Sure. Ditch me for the girlfriend, I see how it is, Jared.. So much for best friends, huh."

"Screw you, Sam." Jared laughed. "You do the same thing when it comes to Bella!"

"Alright, point made. I'm gonna finish this Spanish paper. Tell Kim I said hi, ok?"

Jared hummed his agreement before hanging up the phone. Sam only sighed and pulled his open Spanish text book towards him again. He was 17 years old, a senior at La Push High School and one step closer to gaining a full athletic scholarship to play football at the University of Washington. He wanted to play for a professional team, but if that failed, he wanted to study marine biology- the same thing his girlfriend would be going to Udub to study.

Bella Swan was six months younger than Sam and just happened to be the Forks police chief's daughter. She also went to Forks High- a rival school of La Push High in everything from sports to academics. Not only was Bella from a rival school, she was also more comfortable being captain of the debate team over being captain of the cheer-leading team- a typical match for a quarter back if you were to go by high school social standards.

Sam, though, didn't care that she wasn't a cheerleader or that she wasn't athletic. He loved her for her calm demeanor, her passion for learning and her sweet 'girl next door' personality. They met through Jared's girlfriend, Kim- whose dad worked in the Forks police department- and had hit it off near instantaneously in their freshman year. By sophomore year, they were close friends and in their junior year, Sam asked her to be his girlfriend. Now, they planned to go to college together after graduation.

He couldn't believe it sometimes.

He looked out his bedroom window and grinned. It was a rare cloudless and dry evening- so far anyways. He'd give it till ten or so before he bet that the clouds would roll in along with the rain. Living in Washington state, he lived under near constant cloud cover and the threat of rain.

Glass shattering drew his attention to his parents arguing downstairs. The fights had been getting more frequent and he wondered how still had straight A's sometimes. Three months in a row already had his stress level on the rise as his home life became more and more unbearable. He closed his book and rubbed his hands over his face.

They'd started fighting over his half brother, Embry- again. His mom stood in the living room accusing his dad of going back to the woman who had tried to break their family apart once already- merely because he'd come home a half an hour late. Allison didn't mind Embry- just his mother (the woman who wanted Josh for herself). It wasn't Embry's fault Josh had cheated. She hated that Tiffany had slept with a married man and she hated Josh sometimes for not thinking of his family before getting drunk and falling into another woman's arms.

Sam didn't fully trust that his dad had told her he'd been married before they'd fallen into bed together. He'd talked to Embry about it plenty of times and Embry had offered his agreement on the theory. They knew their parents had been drinking, but that wasn't an excuse. Either way, it had happened, and Sam had a kid brother whom he adored because of it.

His dad's drunken slurs and cutting replies wrought a frustrated sigh from his lips. He hadn't interfered yet because his dad would never raise a hand to his mom. He knew that. Even drunk, Joshua Uley had too much respect for women- at least, enough respect to not hit them. Sam just wished he wouldn't drink so much that it caused fights. Though, to cut his dad some slack, his mom could be overbearing sometimes.

His phone chirping on his nightstand pulled him from his dark thoughts. Unlocking the screen and moving to his text messages, he grinned when he saw the latest one.

'Just got finished with homework. I've been thinking about you. Miss you. Hope you had a better night than last night!'

'Miss you too. Tonight's no better… parents have been fighting for the last hour or two. Might go to Paul's to get away from it.'

'I'm sorry, Sam. We can talk if you want. You might want to try Jared though. I saw Paul's car in front of Jess's house. Her mom is out of town again. Ew. :/'

Sam chuckled. Bella wasn't one to pry. It was one of the reasons he loved her. She was there when he finally broke down and told her about the fights after a month of hearing it on repeat, and she was there any time he talked about it since then. She never nagged at him to talk, she simply held his hand and put her head on his shoulder.

It wasn't a well known fact, butt Bella knew exactly what Sam had been going through- she'd told him her story when he'd broken down and told her just what had been happening to make him so sad and tired. Bella had listened to her parents fighting until the day she turned 14 and told her mom she wanted to stay with her dad after Renee had tried to force her in the car. Her mom had driven away and not looked back.

'Thanks for the heads up baby girl. Luv you!'

'Luv ya too Sammy.'

Sam sighed and shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips. He thumbed through his contacts to find Jared's name. The moon outside caught his attention, causing him to hover over his friends name before his eyes cut to the calendar with a red circle placed over Saturday.

Two years. They'd been together so far for two years- well two years on Saturday at least.

Looking again out his window, he sent a message to Jared. 'Hey, bro… rents got into it again… can you cover for me tonight? I'm goin to see Bella.'

Jared was quick to reply which meant that his parents and baby sister sat in the living room with him and Kim. He and Paul had cornered Sam after practice after he'd told Bella and told him how worried they'd gotten for him. He broke down and told them, then made them swear not to say anything. So far, they'd kept their promises.

'Don't I always? Kim said she's gonna IM Bella in an hour to spend the night at her house. You better get over there soon.'

'thanks man. I owe you.'

'nah, it's cool. C ya tomorrow. Kimmi said hi.'

'Hi Kim! :D'

Sam's phone chirped with a message from Kim. 'You have my permission to knock Jay flat on his rear end at practice on Monday! I did not tell him to tell you hi. However… Hi Sam!'

Sam only chuckled. His friends were nuts.

Now to get out without being seen. Hn… he knew there was a reason he liked having the trellis beside his window.

It took him two minutes to climb to the ground from his bedroom window. His keys, wallet and phone were tucked away in his hoodie as he crept past the kitchen window to his truck. Shifting it into neutral, he pushed it onto the road, hopped in and started the engine. If his parents knew it was him, they gave no indication they wanted to stop him.

He was free to head to Bella's house.

(~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~)

Bella sighed and rubbed her towel through her hair. She loved her showers- the hot water washing away the grime and stress of the day felt amazing. She loved it even more when she could enjoy it without being rushed. She loved it even more when she had the entire house to herself and could take as long as she wanted in said shower. Looking in the mirror, she couldn't help but grin. Her dad would be working the night shift for the week meaning she could enjoy all the freedoms of a house alone that a 17 year old girl could ever wish to enjoy.

A tapping sound at her window caught her attention and she raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Who the hell was that? Looking at her clock, it was only just now seven at night. With it being fall now, the sun went down earlier, so who would be dumb enough to try and grab her attention like this instead of coming to the front door?

The pang of a small rock bouncing off the glass had Bella rolling her eyes. Quil and Jake. They were the only ones who did that. She poked her head out her window after raising it, fully intent to curse her best friends out, only to stop when she saw her boyfriend grinning up at her.

"Sammy? What are you doing here?! I thought you went to Jared's house! Are you ok?"

Sam grinned. "Yeah.. I'm alright. I had to get outta the house. Jared's busy right now."

She knew what that meant. "Hang on, I'll unlock the back door."

"Hey! Bella. Just get dressed and come on, Kim IMed you… you're spending the night at her house." He grinned.

Her eyes twinkled with mischief. "Someone's pushing his luck. If my dad ever finds out we're sneaking off he'll kill us both, I hope you know that."

"Hey, I won't tell him if you don't." He teased.

"Ten minutes!" She said slamming her window shut.

She rushed to pull on a pair of jeans and a long sleeved form fitting black tee shirt before pulling on her favorite pair of sneakers. A quick look in the mirror and she sighed. Grabbing her pony tail holder, her keys, her wallet and her phone, she rushed out the door in just under ten minutes.

"You sure you don't wanna run track?" Sam teased.

She giggled and greeted him with a kiss, throwing her arms around his neck. "I'm sure. I can't run long distances to save my life."

Sam laughed and hopped down to the bottom step before presenting his back to her. He'd taken to giving her rides on his back to his truck in the winter time because her driveway became a land mine of hidden ice patches that loved to make her slip. Now though, he did it whenever he picked her up anymore.

"One of these days you're going to find out I'm too heavy for you to do this to me, Sam." She whispered in his ear.

He bit his lip to contain the groan he wanted to let loose. "Never. You'll always be light as a feather to me baby girl."

Bella smiled. "So where should we go?" She wondered when they were both seated inside his truck.

"Fire trails. Look how clear it is… I just… I thought maybe we could look at the stars for a while." He smiled.

She grinned and slid over closer to him. He wanted to get away from the fighting. She knew it, but she didn't say a word. "Sounds awesome."

"Well, alright then." He said with a grin before he started the engine. He knew she'd figured out why he wanted to go. He smiled, thankful she'd not called him on it.

Bella merely smiled and laid her head on his shoulder, enjoying the time with him. She'd never pass a chance up to lay close to him- not with finals looming. She loved him, and any time spent with him, no matter what they did, she counted as precious.

Bella smiled and scooted closer to her boyfriend. She mused that any other girl would have had a hissy fit if he'd asked them to lay in the bed of his truck listening to the crickets chirping. She didn't care though. Sam made her feel safe. She loved that they could do this, just be together without filling the quiet with inane chatter. It was just another reason she believed theirs was a relationship meant to last.

Like her godfather and his wife.

Her 'uncle' Billy had married his high school sweetheart a year after graduation. He had been in love with her until the day she was killed in a car accident. If she were honest, he was STILL in love with her. That was what she hoped it would be like for her and Sam.

"Hey Bella?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you.."

Bella lifted her head from Sam's chest and shifted so she could look at him. "For what?"

Sam sighed and ran his fingers through her hair. "You never push me to talk. We can just lay here like we've been doing and be content. We don't have to do anything… it's fun."

She cuddled into his side again and grinned. He swore up and down he wasn't romantic, but knew better. She placed a kiss over his heart and hummed. "You're welcome Sam." She whispered leaning up to kiss him.

She squeaked as he pulled her over top of him. "Hi." He chuckled.

"Hey." She sat up and looked down at him.

He felt lost to her beauty for a moment. The way the moonlight reflected off of her porcelain skin made her glow. "God, Bella. You're fucking gorgeous!"

She shook her head getting ready to argue with him when he used her body for a counterweight and pulled himself up to sit with her. He met her protests with a kiss and swallowed them. He hated hearing her bad mouth herself. In his opinion, she didn't know how gorgeous she looked- not to him at least. Sure, she wasn't a super model, but she still looked gorgeous to him and a lot of guys he knew.

Bella shifted in his lap, trying to find a more comfortable position for her legs now that he had sat up as well. She froze when she heard him whimper and pulled back to see his eyes closed tight.

"Sam, you ok?"

"You're hard to not get excited around, baby girl." He hinted.

She smiled at him and leaned her forehead on his shoulder. "Hey Sam?" She asked after a few minutes.

"Hm?" He hummed as he ran his hands up and down her back.

Her lips trailed from his shoulder to his neck where she paused to nibble on his pulse point. The path of torture continued up his jaw to his lips as she started shifting in his lap. His hands moved to her waist, trying to stop her from moving. She had other things on her mind though.

"You know… it's been a month…" She whispered.

His eyes searched hers until it dawned on him that she'd been talking about her birth control. A shiver of excitement raced through him as he stared at her. "Has it?"

"Mhm." She said moving her kisses up his jaw to his ear. She caught the lobe in her teeth, smirking when he let out a shuddering breath.

"Baby, don't tease me." He whined.

Bella grinned and moved her lips back down his jaw and further down to his neck. It was a secret love of his that she left marks on him. It was her claim to the other girls in his school. So she said at least.

"Who said I was teasing, Sam?" She finally purred.

Sam moaned and pulled her hips to his. He smirked when she gasped at the feel of his hard cock, throbbing in his jeans. "Feel me, baby girl? Feel what you do to me?"

It wasn't long before his hands caught the hem of her shirt, lifting it up her petite form. He swallowed when he found out she wasn't wearing a bra. He licked his dry lips before leaning in to kiss her, his fingers moving to tease her nipples.

"Sam.." She whined when his lips trailed a path of seductive, pleasurable torture down her jaw to her neck, then further down to one of her nipples.

He couldn't help but groan when she started writhing in his lap. "Damn, babe, you're so hot."

Bella repaid the favor by pulling his tee shirt from his body, her nails raking down the smooth skin of his back. The shivers that followed her nails had nothing to do with the cool night temperature hitting their skin.

"Like that?" She cooed. When he nodded, her nails raked down his skin harder, leaving light pink tracks in his back.

"Bells… please…" He whimpered.

Bella smiled and pressed her lips to his before moving off of his lap. She stood and smirked down at Sam and she ran her hands over her belly. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth as she unfastened her jeans. She drew the zipper down before Sam had had enough and moved his hands to her waist to help her pull the offending material from her body. He was shocked that she wasn't wearing anything under them either. Shocked, not displeased and oh so turned on at the sight before him.

With Bella situated back in his lap, Sam took the time to run his large hands over every inch of her now nude form he could reach. He kept his eyes locked on hers as one of his hands ventured down to her clit and further down to test the readiness of her trimmed pussy. He grinned when her nails dug into his shoulders.

"Sam!" She gasped as he started rubbing her clit.

Sam's free hand drew her head close to his, their foreheads touching as her breathing came quicker and shorter. "You like that baby?" He teased.

"Please! Sam… fuck… yes!" She whimpered as she got closer to her end.

If Sam had to admit it, he'd say he loved watching Bella get off for him. She was a gorgeous sight to behold. Her lips were parted, her eyes lidded, her cheeks flushed and a look of desire and hunger passing through her soulful chocolate orbs nearly always had him panting for more from her.

"Come on Bells." He cooed.

Bella came with a shuddering cry before flopping in a boneless heap against him. Her arms twined around his neck as he peppered kisses to her cheeks, lips and nose. "Love you." She whispered.

"Love you too baby."

It didn't take her long to recover. She pulled Sam's jeans from his legs and smirked. She nudged him back, pushing him back to the bed of the truck. Her lips left a trail from his jaw down to his nipples where she stopped to bite at one. She continued down until she came to his cock.

"Watch me Sam.." She whispered.

Sam shivered and raised his head to watch her tongue flick out to tease the mushroom head of his dick. He moaned and propped himself up on his elbows, giving into her demands to watch him as she swallowed all eight inches of his impressive cock. If he had anything to say about it, his girl definitely gave amazing head.

"Fuck.. Bella.. So fucking good." He muttered with his head dropped backwards. He didn't want to stop watching her, but the pleasure had become too much.

With a final shout, Sam erupted into Bella's mouth, her throat working to swallow everything he offered. She pumped her hand twice more, sucking him dry before allowing him to fall from her mouth. He shivered and looked up just in time to see her licking her lips, searching for any stray drops she may have missed.

"Feel better?" She purred.

Sam smirked and pulled her down to him before rolling them so that she lay on her back under him. "Not yet, but soon enough we both will." He whispered in her ear.

Bella's legs moved up to wrap around his waist. She threw her head back when she felt him nudging at her soaked core. The anticipation of feeling him sink into her was nearly too much.

"Please… Sam… don't tease me!" She whined.

Sam captured her lips in his and pushed into her body. Bella broke the kiss with a gasp as Sam paused to wait for her to adjust to him. He peppered her face with light kisses as she regained the ability to breath.

"I love you baby girl." He whispered.

Bella smiled. "I love you too, Sam. I'm ok.."

"You sure?" He checked again.

She nodded. "I forgot how big you were…" She muttered. "A month is too long to go without feeling you in me."

Sam pressed a kiss to her lips before pulling nearly all the way out of her. "Indeed. Better not forget anymore." He mused before slamming his hips forward again.

"Sam!" Her nails raked down his back as he set a fast, hard rhythm into her willing body. "Yes!"

"Scream for me baby." He whispered, working them both closer to the edge of pleasurable insanity. "There's no one around here to hear us."

"H-harder… please… so good." She whined before digging her nails into the skin of his sides as she held on to him. She trusted him to keep her grounded.

For his part, Sam redoubled his efforts to push her over the edge, groaning in both pleasure and satisfaction when she yelled his name. It took him three more thrusts before he released into her body calling out her name while resting most of his weight against hers.

When they'd regained their breath, Sam rolled off of her and pulled her close to him. They didn't need to talk. They simply lay together in the stillness of a clear night. They took ten minutes to bask in their endorphin created bliss before Bella shivered after a chilled wind raced by them.

"Come on, lets get dressed and head to Jared's house." Sam whispered.

Bella only smiled and nodded.

As they pulled into Jared's driveway twenty minutes later, Sam looked up to the sky in amusement. There above them, where once a clear night had graced them, clouds moved to cover the moon from their eyes once more. He only shook his head and grinned. Every now and then the skies were perfect, he'd just have to wait for the next one to steal Bella away again. After all, he only had forever, at least that's all he wanted.
