A sudden feeling of emptiness in the bed woke me up the next morning. I rolled over onto my side and saw Samantha arising beside me. I automatically grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back down next to me. Her hair looked messy and covered half her face. I couldn't help but chuckle at her bedhead hair.

"Don't laugh! I just woke up, jerk." She said playfully. I sighed and she wrapped an arm around my body and scooted close to me.

"It's crazy how you still look so cute without even trying." I cooed and ran my hand up her thigh.

"Wha..." She looked up at me and I noticed how pink her face was. I chuckled and gently kissed her forehead.

"You're just so adorable it's hard to resist..." Her eyes remained focused on mine and she bit her lip. It resembled the look she gave me yesterday. I caressed her cheek and brought her face closer to mine. I craved her more than anything. The events of last night filled my head and it all felt unreal. Despite not being sober the majority of that time, I still remembered everything that occurred between us. I even recalled when she admitted having feelings for me. We stayed like this for an amount of time I couldn't comprehend. I took this time to admire every single feature of her appearance. She sighed and pressed her lips against my cheek.

"I really like you..." Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I just realized how long I've been attracted to you. I liked you in high school but.. You were a close friend.." She swallowed hard. I couldn't believe I was hearing these words escaping her mouth. I sighed in relief and wrapped both my arms around her. It felt as if the weight of the fucking world had been lifted off my shoulders. She had taken a liking to me many years ago and I was just finding out. I had a feeling there was a catch to what she was saying.

"Samantha you're lying." I said with no emotion. Samantha squirmed from my grasp and held both my shoulders. "Aaron really?! You think I'm lying to you? Why did you think I kissed you at that party? Why do you think I let you touch my body even though I'm fucking with someone? I did all those things because I freaking like you okay?" I couldn't help but smile. The Samantha I knew finally showed herself through the mask she put on nowadays.

"You haven't changed a bit." I told her and she pouted, much like a young kid. I laughed and tackled her down on the bed. She looked up at me and blushed. I brushed my finger along her lips and then down to her chin. She looked me in the eyes as I performed these gentle movements. She looked at me as if she wanted more than soft caresses. I smirked and slowly ran a finger across her collar bone.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her. She bit her bottom lip.

"I-I dunno.." She stuttered while still looking me in the eyes. I leaned down and gently kissed her chest. I kissed lower and then higher up again to tease her, to get her wanting more from me. Her body slightly squirmed underneath mine as my lips brushed against her skin. I opened my mouth and slowly moved my tongue around the area. I licked from he chest to her neck which caused her to squirm and moan. I gently bit down on the warm skin on her neck and swirled my tongue as I bit and sucked. Samantha gasped and held my body down, so much that one of my legs rested between hers and one of hers was between mine. I took this opportunity to move my leg against the sensitive spot between her thighs. I slowly moved my leg against her, causing her to moan more. She shifted her body and slightly moved her leg against my length.

"Fuck..." I breathed in her ear, releasing myself from her neck. I slowly exhaled as she continued teasing me. "You're so fucking dirty, Samantha.." I said quietly and rubbed my leg against her more.

"Uh-huh..." She moaned and shut her eyes.

"I can't take this.." I reached down her pants, longing to feel her. She immediately removed my hand and shook her head.

"No Aaron.. We can't go that far.." She panted, her cheeks still flushed.

"I want you though..." I told her and kissed the hand she had abruptly moved me with.

"I want you too but.. We shouldn't do anything too bad.." She sighed and fixed her shirt that had been slightly pushed up and I arose from my position of hovering on top of her. I was alarmed to find a dark red spot on her neck. Shit. I had given her a hickey. I sighed and braced myself before I told her. Samantha raised an eyebrow. "What is it..." She asked.

"I may have left a mark when I um.."

"YOU FUCKING DID WHAT?" She quickly pushed me off of her and hopped off the bed to look examine her neck in the mirror. "Ah dammit it looks so bad.. and if Brendan sees it then I'm dead for sure.. I'm sure my damn coworkers will ask about this too.." My heart sank when I remembered she wasn't mine. I was probably just someone she liked to toy with. The thought of it made me want to leave right there on the spot.

"Hey Samantha I'm gonna go.. It's almost noon and I need to go to work.." She glared at me.

"Liar. You don't have work today." She got me. "

I'm sorry I just feel bad about what's happening between us.." I admitted part of the truth. She continued to glare at me.

"What makes you want to leave so soon hm..?" She walked back to the bed and sat beside me. I hesitated.

"I just.."

"Just what..?" Samantha asked getting closer to my face.

"Nothing." I said blankly. "I really have to go." I sighed and walked out of her room feeling conflicted about how I felt about our current situation.

"Wait!" She called out following behind me. I stopped in my tracks when she stepped in front of me. "Be careful, don't do anything stupid you idiot... I care about you." She told me. My heart melted a little when I heard those words, despite the name calling. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly.

"Thank you.. For looking after me again.. I owe you." I told her. She chuckled.

"How could you repay me?" I sighed.

"I will somehow, someday." I promised her.

"Promise?" She smiled at me.

"Promise." I gave her a final goodbye cheek peck after we released from our hug.

"Visit me at work tonight will ya?" She asked me opening the door.

"Yeah. I'll see you then." I waved to her and left her apartment after a long night.
