A/N: A new chapter and I hope you enjoy…it took me awhile to come up with a good ending, but hopefully this works out well.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Hope
A few days after their fight Sam and Kelsey still haven't spoken. Both of their hearts were breaking and it didn't help that it showed everywhere that they went. It also affected them on and off of the basketball court.
"Sam, Kelsey, get your head into the game," Coach Benson yells out.
It was a practice game, but it didn't matter.
Kylie passes the ball to Sam and is instantly blocked by Kelsey. Sam looks at Kelsey and drops the ball, shaking her head and walking out of the gym. Coach Benson blows her whistle.
"Samantha, you can't just leave right now."
"Watch me," Sam yells over her shoulder.
"Kylie, go follow her and see what's wrong."
"But Coach," Kelsey states only to be interrupted by Benson.
"Kelsey, I think it's better that you don't see her right now. Whatever her problem is, it's because of you so let Kylie go see her."
Kylie nods her head and runs out into the locker room.

"Brooke, what exactly have you been doing these last few days?" Victoria asks as she watches Brooke move around in her kitchen.
"Well mother unlike you I have been taking care of my child."
Victoria huffs a laugh.
"She doesn't need to be taken care of Brooke. She's grown. The only thing you have to fix is her gayness."
"My daughter doesn't need to be 'fixed' Victoria. She's in love there is nothing wrong with that."
"She's apparently in love with a girl and she has no manners."
Brooke rolls her eyes at her mother.
"When it comes to you, everyone's manners go out the window and as for her loving a girl, like I said there is nothing wrong with that. I love Kelsey and she's great for Sam. She's been through hell this last year and now things are starting to get more normal around here. I don't want you to disrupt that, now get out of my house if you have nothing nice to say about your own granddaughter."
Victoria clicks her tongue, grabs her purse and leaves the house. Julian slowly rounds the corner.
"Is it safe to come out yet?"
Brooke chuckles and nods her head.
"Yeah, bitchtoria is gone."
Julian fully comes into view and grins at his wife.
"I'm proud of you."
"I'm proud of myself," Brooke grins and pushes her hair behind her ears. "I never really liked my mother so it's fun as well. I don't need a reason to protect our child."
"No, you don't. No one does."

Kylie walks into the locker room and sees Sam sitting on the bench looking sad. She had to admit that she had a small crush on Sam, but she didn't really want to mess with her and Kelsey unless she knew for a fact that Sam and Kelsey were over.
"Are you okay?"
Sam looks up and nods her head.
"I am for now."
"Sam, you have to get out of your head." Kylie sits down next to Sam and rests her elbows on her knees. "Whatever is going on with you and Kelsey, it needs to be fixed. You both look heartbroken and it's sad to see." Kylie tries to grab Sam's hand, but Sam pulls it away.
"Kylie, I'm not going to go out with you."
Kylie rolls her eyes.
"That's not the point Sam. What I am saying is that you can't hide anything. Whatever Kelsey said or did, just forgive her so we can move on with this crap and you can be all giggly again."
Sam huffs. "I don't get all giggly."
Kylie chuckles and nods her head.
"Yes, you do. Every time Kelsey comes up to you, you get this giggly thing when you talk. It's cute, but annoying as hell."
"I love her," Sam states truthfully.
"I know, now what are you going to do about it?"
Sam smiles and stands up.
"Thanks Kylie."
"Go get your girl," Kylie stands up and watches Sam start to exit the locker room. Kylie stops her than. "Sam!" Sam turns around and looks at Kylie. "Do you think if you weren't with Kelsey that something could happen between us?"
Sam pondered the question intently. She didn't want to lead Kylie on, but she didn't want to lie to her either.
"Maybe," Sam states before walking out of the locker room.
Kylie grins and looks at the ground.
"Someday."

After leaving the locker room, Sam ran to the gym, but it was empty. There was no sign of Kelsey. Sam looked at her watch and decided that talking with Kelsey could wait another day. Sam grabbed her bag and left for home.
It was after five by the time that Sam entered her house. She knew that her parents were on a mandatory date night so Sam was left to her own devices.
An hour later and dinner eaten someone bursts through the front door. Sam stays on the couch and watches as Kelsey shuts off the television and stands in front of Sam.
"I'm an idiot. I know that. I can't help it. I love you so much that sometimes I'm afraid that I'm dreaming. Before you I didn't care who I slept with or whether it would happen again. I didn't care about them, but then you come into my life and it's magical and amazing and something I've only thought about in my dreams," Sam wipes at her eyes, but doesn't say a word. "You asked about our future and I lied to you. Every day I think about it. I see us together for the long haul. I see us with kids and careers. You a writer and me a cop like my dad or something that allows me to help people. I see us with a house and rings on our fingers. I see us with a dog named Shadow."
"How many?" Sam asks softly.
"What?"
"How many kids?"
"Two, but more is up for negotiation."
Sam stands up in front of Kelsey.
"Reese and Sara."
Kelsey raises an eyebrow.
"The name our children," Sam leans closer to Kelsey. "Kiss me." Kelsey complies.
Sam moves backwards to her room with Kelsey as their lips are still connected.
Inside Sam's room, Kelsey let's Sam's lips go and turns to shut the door. When she turns around Sam is standing in just her bra and panties.
"Wow," Kelsey mutters with a smile.
"Is it a good wow?" Sam asks unsure.
Kelsey steps forward.
"It's a really good wow."
Sam lies back onto her bed and brings Kelsey down on top of her. Kelsey swallowed hard as she lowered herself to Sam's lips, allowing them to brush lightly, sharing each other's breath, before she closed her eyes and captured the mouth with hers. Kelsey didn't mind, only gasping for breaths between connections of their lips, loving the sweetness of Sam's mouth. Sam granted excess inside her mouth and their tongues met. Kelsey moaned at the contact and they fought for dominance. She wanted more.
Kelsey abandoned Sam's bruising lips for her neck and Sam gasped at the first nip of skin. Sam clung tightly as their bodies pressed together. Kelsey traced Sam's jaw line from one side of her neck to the other with kisses and hot breaths.
"I need you." Kelsey confessed as she kissed Sam's lips again.
Sam writhed under Kelsey as she rocked her hips, connecting with Sam's center.
"You have me."
Kelsey moved wet kisses down the column of Sam's neck, licking and nipping at her collarbone; her hand slipped under Sam and unhooked her bra with ease.
Kelsey separated their bodies enough to get rid of the lacy bra on the floor. Sam's hand found Kelsey and brought Kelsey's shirt over her head. Her hands found Kelsey's breasts and started massaging them through the fabric of her bra, pinching the hardening nipples between her fingers. Kelsey's moans were swallowed by Sam's mouth as Kelsey removed her own bra.
Sam's hand ran up and down Kelsey's stomach. Kelsey smiles before lowering her mouth and teasing the nipple with circles on Sam's exposed breasts. Kelsey moaned as she closed her lips around Sam's rosy bud and grazed it between her teeth as she let it slip out.
"Kelsey…please,"
Kelsey slides her two fingers deep inside and grunted curling them upward she drew them back slowly. She pulsed in again as she suckled Sam's ear lobe. "Do you like that?"
Sam's breath became ragged as Kelsey pressed down on her clit again with each slow pulse of her long fingers inside of her. Sam's nails dug into Kelsey's back in need for a connection.
"…Yes…"
Kelsey began a steady increase in her pace. Sam mashed her lips between her teeth, closed her eyes, and threw her head back, but kept her hands busy. Sam unhooked and unzipped Kelsey's pants and slid her hand inside. Her fingers finding the wetness there but quickly found what they were looking for and Kelsey moaned above her.
"Oh god." Kelsey rested her forehead to Sam's and she closed her eyes. "That feels so good." She rocked her hips in time with Sam's circles for more pressure.
"Yes…so close, baby. I'm so close," Sam moans out with a small smile. She quickened her pace with her fingers, silently begging Kelsey to do the same. Kelsey moaned and her body jerked as her ecstasy took her, Sam quickly followed.
"Hot damn," was all Sam could say. Kelsey laughed and rolled onto her side after pushing the rest of her clothes off and onto the floor. Kelsey smiled when Sam curled into her, a leg going between her thighs.
"Are you okay?" Kelsey asks softly after a few moments of silence.
Sam smiled brightly at her girlfriend.
"It was amazing Kels. God I am so in love with you."
"I'm in love with you too."
