Let me know what you guys think of this chapter. I really really like the ending :)
Alright so now that I've gone off on that little tangent back to my everyday life,
Twas the night before Christmas… Oh wait I'm Jewish, it was Friday around noon and I was walking into work for my shift. I walked in the door to the store and into our break room going to put my purse in one of the lockers. As I was leaning over the door burst open and in charged a very overzealous Sam.
"RACHEL! RACHEL! GUESS WHAT!" Sam said jumping up and down.
"What?" I asked laughing at his behavior.
"I got hired onto geek squad! No more computers!" He cheered.
"Awe that's awesome sweetie! I'm glad for you!" I smiled.
"Yeah it's awesome!" He yelled picking me up and twirling me around he then stopped and put me back down, "sorry I got a little ahead of myself," he smiled shyly.
"It is fine," I laughed. "You were excited."
"But yah it's awesome! What are you doing tonight?" He asked
"Well I work until eight but after that absolutely nothing. Why what's up?" I asked.
"Would you like to come over and play video games at my house?" Sam asked.
I laughed, "Sam I can't really play video games."
"I'll teach you! I'm an expert at Call of Duty and Halo!" Sam smiled with pride.
"Alright I'll change after work and then I'll be over. Where do you live?" I asked.
"6365 Adulate Road," Sam answered.
"Really no way that's right down the road from me. I could walk if I wanted to I laughed. Well it would take about 30 minutes but still." I laughed.
"Sweet, I'll see you tonight. I'd better get back on the floor before Beiste gets mad at me." He laughed. "Send me a text when you get out of work." He walked out the door and back onto the floor. I followed shortly after heading to the back of the store and to my department. I was greeted by Finn who immediately tried to pick up a conversation with me.
"Hey Rach, how come you won't even look at me?" Finn asked like it was the most normal question in the world. I just stared at him. I mean what normal grown male said that. I mean what next why don't you even look at me when we make love. Dear god this boy was a sissy.
"Finn enough, we are at work it does not need to be brought up here." I said dismissively.
"Fine what are you doing after work tonight?" He asked.
"I have plans sorry." I stated trying to remain aloof. He really didn't need to know about my plans with Sam. They honestly weren't any of his business and he would over react.
"Why won't you telling me what you are doing?! What are you hiding from me?" Finn said his voice starting to rise.
"Oh dear god Finn, 1. I'm not hiding anything from you, you aren't my boyfriend therefore I don't need to tell you anything. 2. We aren't even really friends so you demanding to know anything really does not matter to me. 3. Stop bringing this up at work. Now if you will excuse me I am going to go ask Emma if I can work customer service until you go home. I'd rather be up there then anywhere near you." I told him point blank then walked away before he had any time to react. I was allowed to work customer service for the day since they were down a person anyway. The rest of the day went off pretty well and I was able to enjoy it without having Finn there constantly bugging me. I went home and changed out of my uniform before messaging Sam that I was on my way, and he answered sending me his address again. It took about ten minutes for me to get there, and he greeted me in the driveway.
"We aren't playing video games yet." Sam told me as I got out of the car. He looked me up and down pausing at my shoes. I was confused I was wearing ballet flats, jeans, and a plain t shirt. "What size shoes do you wear?" He asked.
"Umm size seven, why?" I asked confused.
"Well you really can't go mudding in a pair of ballet flats can you? You can borrow my sister's boots." Sam smiled disappearing into the house and leaving me standing there staring. He popped his head back out after a few minutes. "I thought you were behind me. Are you coming in?" He laughed.
"Oh, umm, yeah sure." I said moving towards the house following him in. I followed him through his kitchen and down a hallway. We stopped at a room which I assumed was his bedroom.
"Have a seat on the bed. I'll be back in a second. I'm going to steal my sister's boots for you to borrow. Take your pick of the sweatshirts in the closet." Sam said disappearing down the hall. I grabbed the first sweatshirt I saw which must have been one of his from high school. I threw it on over my t-shirt just as he returned with a pair of timberland work boots. "You might as well use these. My sister doesn't do anything that has any chance of breaking a nail." Sam laughed handing the boots to me. I took off my flats and took the socks he threw at me putting both those on my feet. We then headed out to his backyard and into his garage. I was shocked to see all the quads in there. The dude owned like 30….okay maybe it was more like 7 but still.
"Wow…. I take it you ride a lot?" I asked shocked.
"Yeah I actually race quads and dirt bikes." Sam said laughing at the look on my face. "So you want to ride with me, or do you think you can handle your own?"
"Well I've only ever ridden on my own a few times. Once I flipped it while my uncle was riding with me, and another time I almost ran into an electric fence which was on," I laughed. Little did he know those were the first two times I had ever been on a quad. I've since gotten a 1000 times better. I actually go along with Noah when he races his. I wonder how the two of them hadn't run into each other yet. "I think I'll give it another try." I shrugged.
"Alright well please be careful, I really don't want to have to take you to the emergency room. That's really not my idea of a fun night." He laughed.
"I'll try and avoid causing myself or you any physical damage." We both walked into the garage and I got on the quad he directed me to. I felt at home behind it. I seriously loved riding them it was such a release. We pulled them out of the garage and to the back of his house where I saw he had a giant dirt track. I smiled to myself as I thought of a plan. "Hey Sam wanna race?" I asked.
"Oh come on Rach that's not fair. I race for a living and you've only ever ridden a few times." Sam said shocked I would even ask that.
"What are you afraid of being beat by a girl?" I laughed.
"Psh no of course not if you want to race fine, let's race." Sam said getting serious on me. We both pulled up to the beginning of the track.
"3 laps, first one across the finish line is the winner?" I asked and Sam nodded.
"Alright go on three; one, two, three!" Sam yelled and we took off. I pulled out in front of him with ease. I continued the race and he only pulled ahead of me once, but I quickly returned to the lead. When we finally crossed the finish line I stopped the quad and took my helmet off smiling at him. "You hustled me Berry!" Sam said flabbergasted, "you freaking hustled me!"
"What are you gonna do about it? You fell for it because I'm a girl and you assumed I couldn't ride!" I laughed at the look on his face.
"God you suck princess!" Sam yelled giving me a slight push which was meant to be perfectly playful. I however stumbled backwards a bit and lost my footing. I began to fall and eventually ended up in the giant mud puddle which was in the center of the track. "OH MY GOD Rachel are you okay?" Sam asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine…just a little dirty." I answered.
"Okay good because that was fucking hilarious. You should see yourself!" Sam busted out laughing.
"Oh shut up douche and help me out of here." I said pretending to be frustrated.
"Fine, fine I suppose I could do that!" Sam said starting down the hill still laughing. He held out his hand to help me out, but I did the stereotypical thing and pulled him into the puddle with me. I however didn't think this one through because he landed on top of me.
"Oaf," I sighed but started laughing.
"I'm assuming that was meant to get me just as muddy as you?" Sam asked laughing.
"Yeah didn't work so well. I think I blocked all of the mud from hitting you," I laughed as well. We continued laughing for a while until Sam stopped and just started staring at me.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" I joked knowing full well it was covered in mud.
"Yeah my lips are." Sam stated bluntly.
"What…." I was cut off by Sam's lips crashing against mine. IT. WAS. AWESOME. Like fireworks on a random day awesome, or getting a sale with a bunch of services and geek squad on it awesome. Okay well you all probably don't know what that feels like but it is amazing. Just like this kiss. It continued on for quite a while as we began moving our hands on each other's bodies. I'm not sure how long it was before we finally pulled away.
"I've wanted to do that since the first time I saw you." Sam confessed.
"Well I'm glad you finally got the courage because that was awesome." I admitted.
"We should probably get out of the mud and get a shower." Sam stated.
"Okay but I have something I want to do first." As I was saying this I flipped us over so he was the one in the mud. We were now both covered in it.
"Now I really need the shower," He laughed.
"Yeah it might help but I think we need some pictures first," I giggled.
"That sounds pretty good to me." Sam answered. We took a few cute ones which I would have to put on Facebook later. However my favorite was when Sam kissed me again out of the blue and caught it on camera. It was adorable even though we were covered in mud.
