Chapter 41

Sam made her way upstairs. Now that she thought about it, it had been a while since she had been in Jakes room. She finally reached Jake's door and opened it. She found him sitting on the bed, face in his hands. Sam just leaned on the door frame and waited for him to react. Jake finally looked up, not staring at her. She waited for a while, giving him time to settle all his thoughts.

"So…" Sam started after what seemed ages of silence.

"Sam." Jake looked at her with an intensity she never knew existed, his eyes spoke everything he wanted to say but didn't know how to express in words.

They walked to each other quickly, closing all the unwanted space between them. It had been far too long since they had embraced each other. Far too long since they had tasted each other's sweet kisses. Far too long since they had been able to love openly and freely.

For the first time in a long time, Sam and Jake gave way to their love; they embraced and kissed each other ferociously. They knew what it was to be so close to losing each other, so close to having everything they ever wanted and needed to be happy be ripped away from them and they planned on cherishing each moment they would have together.

Starting now.

Desire, lust, love, and passion overtook them. And yet they couldn't fully sedate their thirst for one another, the pregnancy scandal still raw in their minds. However they did give way to a type of physical love that they had yet to experience since that time long ago in the barn. Sam knew that the next morning she wouldn't feel the same type of dirtiness she did back then. She knew Jake was the one.

They let their hands and mouths explore one another to their hearts content.

After what felt like years, though in reality it had been only a half hour, they stopped.

Breathless.

Sam felt a deep blush grace her cheeks. Her heart was pounding, and she felt an exhilarating rush she hadn't felt in many months.

They looked at each other and smiled.

"I love you Samantha." Jake said holding her hand in his.

"I love you Jake." Sam said as tears fell from her eyes. But this time Jake made her cry happy tears.

She knew that no matter what, they would be together. Nothing would stand between them. If they had overcome this they could overcome everything. Every single guilty thought they had had was all worth it in the end because now, though there was still much to talk about and figure out, many people to thank, many lectures to be heard, people's whose feelings got tangled in this long story, in the end they both knew that they would go through that

Together.
