Falling Ch.3
Sam was really nervous about taking Dash to her house. She somehow felt like she was betraying Danny. 'c'mon Sam who cares what Danny thinks after what he's done!' She could feel the tears gather again at the thought.
"Turn left here Dash, It's the last house on the right." The blonde glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and sighed. He had no idea how to cheer girls up, much less one he barley knows. It was definitely going to be tough, but he was determined to make her feel better. He nodded to himself as he pulled into her driveway.
'Here it comes, he's totally going to freak just like Danny and Tucker when they found out I was rich.' Dash stared at the huge house wide eyed before glancing her way. Noticing the slightly sour look on her face, he decided it would be wiser not to comment on her house for now. "So you wanna go in or are we gonna sit in my truck all day." When Sam glanced his way he gave her the biggest, goofiest grin he could muster in hopes of getting a smile. She tried, dammit she tried really hard but she couldn't help but giggle at the way he looked.
His smile softened at the melodic sound of her laughter. He couldn't believe he had never noticed this girl before. When she was finished with her giggle fit, Dash gave her big, watery, puppy eyes and the most adorable pout she had ever seen. "Saaaaaaam can we go in now my ice cream is calling to meeeeeeee!" Rolling her eyes at his whining, she nodded her consent and went to open the car door.
Dash jumped out of his side and ran around the massive truck to help her down. Once she swung her legs around, he reached up and encircled her slim waist with his massive tan hands. Before he pulled her out, she reached behind her and grabbed the bag holding their ice cream and gave him a grin. "Alright let's get this inside before it melts everywhere."
He lifted her easily and set her lightly on her feet before taking the ice cream and her back pack from her. "I got these, let's go." The smile she gave him caused his breath to catch. At that moment he thought she was the most gorgeous thing he had ever seen. A light blush dusted his cheeks which amused Sam to no end. "Yo Dash, are coming or are you going to stand there all day and stare?" He rubbed the back of his neck in a nervous gesture and followed behind her.
oOo
"I can not believe she left with Dash of all people!" Danny was pacing in his bedroom after school while ranting to Tucker. Said boy rolled his eye's at his friend and gave him an annoyed look. "Dude, Danny did you really expect her to just forgive and forget and come home with us today? You hit her you dumbass! She might never forgive you and I personally wouldn't blame her!" Danny stared at Tucker, mouth gaping open in shock. Tuck sighed in exasperation and looked Danny in the eyes. "Dude in Sam's eyes you chose Paullina over her in every aspect today, So I'm just telling you it's a strong possibility that she won't want to talk to you anymore, same goes for me actually. I didn't help her when she needed it most, We don't deserve her forgiveness."
Danny sank to his knees next to his bed. 'I chose Paullina over Sam? That's what she thinks. Oh man I have to fix this I need Sam to much to let her go.'
With determination in his eyes, Danny grabbed his cell phone and hit the speed dial for Sam's house.
oOo
The day was going much better than expected. Sam was slightly shocked at how well her and Dash actually got along. After finishing their Triple fudge brownie sundaes, they were so loaded on sugar that they couldn't sit still. Sam suggested they go swimming to burn off the excess energy and Dash readily agreed.
After an hour of have water fights, diving for rings and playing Marco Polo of all things, they decided to head inside and shower.
"You can go first Sam. Where should I wait?" She led him upstairs and into her room telling him to have a seat and watch some TV until she came out.
After about five minutes Dash heard a phone ringing. He could still hear the water from the shower and decided he had better answer it in case it was her parents calling. After a short search he found the black cordless phone slightly under her bed and quickly answered it.
oOo
"Manson residence, Dash speaking." Danny nearly dropped the phone in surprise. 'What the hell is he doing answering her private line? That means he's in her room!' Danny growled low in his throat, causing an odd look from Tucker.
"Put Sam on the phone now Dash." Tuckers eyes widened at that.
"Aw Fentina how nice of you to call, Sam can't talk, she's busy at the moment."
Danny gripped his phone so hard he thought it might brake. "What exactly is she doing? She can't be to busy to get on the phone." Dash just chuckled at the jealous tone of Danny's voice.
"She's in the shower, and she'll probably be in there a while. Later Fenton." With that, Dash promptly hung up on the other boy just in time for Sam to come into the bedroom in a fluffy black robe.
"Hey showers all yours now, I hung a towel up for you already." Dash gave her a thankful smile and made his way to the shower so that she could get dressed.
oOo
Tucker shivered when he saw Danny's eyes glow bright green. "Um Danny what's up?" The furious boy snapped his head to the side and looked Tucker in the eyes. "Apparently she was showering. I don't know what is going on over there but we are going to go find out!" With that Danny changed into his ghost form and grabbed Tucker by the wrist. Going intangible, they zoomed through the wall and flew off to Sam's house as fast as Danny could go.
They made it to Sam's window just in time to see her walk into her room in nothing but a short, fluffy black robe. They watched with wide eyes as she walked up to Dash who was in nothing but a pair of blue boxer shorts.
Danny's stomach twisted when she rested her hand on Dash's shoulder and said something to him followed by a brilliant smile, one that he hadn't seen in months.
Tucker watched in wide eyed surprise and Dash returned the bright smile and sauntered out of her bedroom. Glancing at the look on Danny's face, Tucker knew he had to do some damage control and fast. "Danny let's just go, we'll talk to her tomorrow at school."
With a heavy sigh Danny agreed and flew Tucker home before heading home himself to brood.
oOo
After his shower Dash returned to Sam's room, finding her sprawled across her bed with a very bored expression on her face. He couldn't help but chuckle and think how cute she looked. Lying there in short black shorts and a purple tank top with her hair sprawled in every direction and a silly pout on her face.
"Hey you want to grab some dinner before I head home?" She glanced at him and nodded in agreement.
"Ok, but let's just eat here, no use in going out when we have a cook."
oOo
Twenty minuets later found Dash and Sam sitting in her gigantic dining room with plates of steamed veggies and sweet and sour tofu. Dash gave her a worried look that clearly said 'this is edible right?' She couldn't help but giggle at the look he was giving her. She was actually pretty surprised that he agreed to eat it in the first place, even though he wasn't sure he'd like it one bit. Imagine her surprise when he scarfed the whole plate down in less than five minutes and asked for seconds.
"You actually ate vegetables and now you want more? Are you sure you're a teenage boy?" He chuckled at her outburst and gave her a bright smile that made her heart beat so hard she thought it would burst from her chest.
After their meal, Dash glanced at the clock and saw that it was nearing ten thirty and figured it was time for him to leave. Sam walked him to the door and gave him a sweet smile.
"Thanks for today Dash, it was really nice of to help me, and I had a lot of fun too." He looked into her eyes and leaned forward so that their noses almost bumped. He noticed how her breathing sped up and was glad that she was as affected as he was.
"I had fun too. Maybe we can sit together at lunch tomorrow?" He asked in a very soft voice. She was a little surprised by his question, but smiled none the less.
"I'd like that, meet me in front of the cafeteria at lunch." He leaned in a little more and when their lips almost brushed he lost his nerve and kissed her cheek instead. "Night Sam."
She held her cheek as she watched him drive off. A small smile spread across her face as she closed and locked the door. ' who would have thought I would get along with Dash so well. Tomorrow will definitely be interesting.' With that final thought she crawled into bed and promptly fell asleep.
