A/N-Sorry, this should have been up last week…I think, but I just kind of lost track of my schedule for a few days. I know I left you guys last chapter with a semi-cliffhanger, but hopefully this chapter makes up for that.

Chapter Eight: Rock My World

Ever since the almost kiss-which happened two weeks ago-Kelsey and Sam haven't really seen much of each other.

Casey and Spencer noticed something different with their friends, but didn't say anything about it.

Sam was scared about her interaction with Kelsey. Deep down she knew that Kelsey would hurt her like he who would not be named, but it still didn't help the fact that maybe she wasn't ready to be intimate with anyone at least for a little while.

Kelsey on the other hand was just very confused. She knew flirting when she sees it and Sam was definitely flirting with her. She swore that she and Sam would have kissed if it wasn't for Sam's dad ruining the moment. She hopes that she just didn't ruin an amazing new friendship with Sam for a possible relationship.

Brooke sighs in frustration and throws her sketchbook at the wall in front of her. Sam looks at her mother and shakes her head. That was where she got her frustration from.

"What's the matter mom?"

Brooke raises an eyebrow. "I could ask you the same thing."

Sam frowns and puts her notebook on the table. No words were coming to her anyway.

"How horrible is Victoria anyway? I mean I don't really know her."

Brooke closes her eyes. When she opens them she sees her daughter sitting closer to her.

"If I would have listened to Victoria when I was in high school, you wouldn't be here right now. That's how bad she is."

Sam lays her head down in her mother's lap. Brooke smiles and runs her fingers through her daughter's hair.

"That's pretty bad," Sam whispers.

They continue to sit in silence until Brooke speaks up again.

"I missed this Sam. It's been awhile since we have done this. Just you and me sitting or lying down and just basking in each other's presence. No words needed just each other's comfort."

Sam smiles and grabs one of her mother's hands.

"I remember when dad went away to film a movie and you would be the one here with me. You were sad until I came into your room and lay in dad's spot on your bed. You would smile and drag me closer to you."

"Yeah, that was always the upside of your father going away. I got to spend some one on one time with my daughter. I cherish those days because you are so much like your father," Sam turns around and looks up at her mom. "When I was pregnant with you Julian was always afraid that you would be the exact replica of me. He was afraid that he would have nothing in common with you and that scared him the most. You both are very artistic just in different fields."

"So are you," Sam comments with a smile.

Brooke nods her head. "Yeah, but you both have a passion for film. I loved that you became a cheerleader, but I knew that it wasn't your favorite thing to do. Like your father said, it doesn't matter that you aren't doing the things that I did in high school because we are still going to love you."

"Thanks mom."

"So, what's going on with you and Kelsey?"

Sam blushes and hides her face in her mother's stomach. "Why do mothers know everything?"

Brooke chuckles and started to turn on her serious mother mode.

"Sweetheart, I want you to know that you don't have to be afraid that you like girls," Brooke watches as Sam turns her face upward to look at her. "I've always been open minded and to be honest I never thought that you would like the same sex like that, but it doesn't change anything. It just means the open door policy goes for girls too," Sam groans and Brooke smiles. "You haven't seen Kelsey in two weeks so I am assuming something happened with her."

Sam nods her head.

"It almost happened. We were sitting on the couch and talking and then it became kind of flirty and soon we were almost kissing."

"Then what happened."

"Dad came home."

Brooke starts laughing.

"Julian always ruins people's moments."

"I think I should talk to Kelsey," Sam says as she stands up from her position on the couch.

"That would be a good idea."

"Mom, thank you. Thank you for being okay with this. Some moms can't get passed the image of their daughter getting married and having kids and being a lovely wife to a husband."

Brooke nods her head in understanding.

"I don't get why people don't see it. A daughter can have all those things; the only difference is she would be a wife to a wife instead of a husband."

Sam smiles and nods her head.

"Some girls aren't that lucky."

"Like Kelsey?" Brooke asks softly.

Sam nods her head.

"Yeah, like Kelsey."

~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~

Kelsey made her way through her empty house. Her father had the late shift at the station so Kelsey was left alone. Spencer was busy with his parent's and Sam wasn't talking to her. She just felt lonely. When Kelsey makes her way to the living room her doorbell rings which surprises her because most people just knock on the door.

Kelsey opens the door and smiles when she sees Sam standing there with her hands in her pockets.

"Sam, what are you doing here?"

Sam looks Kelsey in the eye and smiles.

"I wanted to talk to you."

Kelsey swallows the lump in her throat and invites Sam in. They both take a seat on the couch. Kelsey knew what was coming. Sam was going to turn her down and offer the lamest line in the history of lines and suggest that they should be friends. Kelsey was worried.

"I'm sorry," Kelsey says before Sam can say anything.

Sam doesn't respond she just leans forward and kisses Kelsey softly on the lips. She pulls back and her face is red and Kelsey is just sitting there looking surprised.

"Don't apologize please. And please tell me that I just didn't make a mistake because I have had this feeling for awhile that you wanted to kiss me and I just…it would have happened two weeks ago if not for my dad—"

Sam doesn't get a chance to respond because Kelsey's lips are attached to hers quickly. The light kisses are nice in Sam's mind. Not just nice, amazing.

Kelsey pulls away a few inches away from Sam's lips.

"You were right," Sam opens her eyes. "You can rock my world with just one kiss."

Sam smiles and puts her hand on the back of Kelsey's neck and pulls her forward bringing their lips together again.
