Doctor Hill was now looking out the boarded window again of Josh's mind.
"Well..Well well. You decided to go against your better judgment and try these little games of yours. Now look where it's got you. It's intriguing how you decided to drop everything the moment it goes wrong and with Sam. You've abandoned your hard work to get your sick revenge all because of a little fall. You think it will redeem you?! You still set this up, and they WILL find out!" The older man left the window and moved back to his desk and calmly sat down. He folded his hands in a warm manner again.
"Then again..I guess we can work with this. You're now learning about what it means to be proper to a woman. You got so tempted, didn't you? I must say I'm impressed. I actually didn't think you would not follow your temptations. Perhaps some good can come out of this..but you're still faced with your new decor that you gave the lodge. I wish you luck on explaining all of this to Samantha." The man smiled before he faded from Josh's mind.
Josh changed out of his "costume" and had put back on his pants. He was preparing to put on his plaid shirt when Sam began waking up, though not to his knowledge. The girl took a second to regain her senses and memory. She had gotten out of the tub because someone took her clothes..then she fell down the stairs..Now she remembered, and it reminded her muscles as well. Her side hurt. There was no doubt that she would be getting a nasty bruise by the next day. She also noticed that she was in a large bed..and still wrapped in her towel.
Who had put her here?
She looked around the large room (which was clearly bigger than the room SHE was suppose to be staying in) and saw Josh putting on his shirt in the bathroom. She felt flushed again.
He had come to her rescue. She also remembered how her towel had originally come off her. Which also meant that he saw her!
Now she was really blushing. But she wanted answers. Being the headstrong girl she was, she wasn't shy on getting them.
"Hey, are you the one who blew up the party balloons out there?" Josh nearly jumped out of his skin but kept calm. He also stopped trying to put on his shirt. He entered the room again with just his pants. It was a deeply welcoming sight to Sam's mind, but she didn't show it. Even if Josh had his infamous goofy smirk.
"Just the silly kids playing pranks. I guess someone's trying to lighten the mood after the bitch fight Emily and Jessica almost got into." It made enough sense to Sam, but this situation was still all too awkward. Here she was naked in a bed with Josh in the room, who was half-naked. Her breathing became hard. She tried to find something else to talk about. She again noticed how large and nice this particular room was.
"I'm guessing this is..yours.." Josh nodded. Sam suddenly felt annoyed.
"Oh, so you keep the nicest room to yourself?" She snickered.
"Hey now, this was my parents room. It's only right. And they don't use this place anymore. So i figured the second 'man of the house' gets to have it." He smirked and tossed his shirt onto one of the large cushion chairs. Sam was now feeling clever..
"Oh yea? Well..what does the woman of the house get to say about it?" She couldn't help the humor, but her body was hot with the thought. Josh stared at her, keeping his smirk but wasn't sure what to say. Josh was actually making his way towards her. She thought he was about to climb on the bed. She quickly turned shy and shifted her weight, causing him to halt in his tracks. She changed the subject.
"Any idea who took my clothes?" The slight annoyance stirred in her once more. Josh sensed it.
"No..I'm sorry. I should've stayed downstairs." He lied. But he only lied to keep her calm. The last thing he wanted was to upset her further.
"It's alright. I should've locked the door. My fault for being stupid." Sam replied. Her annoyance subsiding. She was sure she DID lock the door, but she didn't know Josh had a skeleton key to every room in this cabin..
"So..you saved me?" She asked in a calm voice, returning the warm mood. Her pale face slowly turning the shade of scarlet. Josh knew how shy she was being but thought it was terribly cute.
"Yes." He answered with a single word. He was now at the side of the bed. Inches away from Sam. She wanted so much for him to be away, but at the same time, she wanted him closer than ever. She avoided looking at him in the eye, but she knew he was staring directly at her. Her mind fought with her.
This could be your only chance! He's never this bold, it's rare! If you reject him now, he may never attempt his affections again!
She suddenly felt his firm hand gently on her forehead. She knew he was checking to make sure she was okay, but it was also obvious that he was finding an excuse to touch her. Her heart bursted through her chest but she finally grabbed his wrist and pulled his arm closer. His hand slipped down and stroked her face. She found the courage to look him in the eye. His once paranoid dark eyes were now soft. So soft.. She said nothing. She only smiled as she pulled him harder, causing him to nearly fall on her, but she didn't mind. It was all according to a NEW plan..
