There was only a small silence between the two of them before Anna broke it, "Sam?"
He looked down at her; the curiosity in his green eyes was shining brightly, "Yeah?"
"What will you do if we find your dad?" she asked in a small voice. She had been thinking about it for a while and it was beginning to bother her. Would everything they were and everything they were going to be, be lost once he was reunited? She wouldn't be able to tell him to stay with her, she wasn't that selfish and she knew the pain of losing parents. She gripped his shirt tightly in her fist as if he was going to suddenly disappear.
Sam blinked at her and frowned slightly, "It's hard to say, honestly," he said carefully. "I will want to spend as much time with him as I can, of course, but—"
"I understand, Sam, you don't need to explain," She let go of his shirt, "Even if you don't want me any longer I want you to be happy and I'll do everything in my power to help you find your father," she sat up and looked down at him, determination in her eyes. "You are so important to me and even though it'll hurt to let you go…"
"Anna," Sam sat up and shook his head, "You've got it all wrong," he said reaching out to touch her hand gently; "I want to be with you, no matter what." He said seriously. "Of course I will want to spend time with my dad and see him often, but you're a part of my life now. I won't leave you behind." He touched her face and leaned towards her. "I don't know what got you thinking that I'd leave you…I couldn't if I wanted."
Anna looked in his eyes for any dishonesty, which she knew by his tone there would be none. Something in the back of her mind still made her weary; she was scared to be left behind. He was her life, no one else would do.
"I just know how much he means to you…is all." She said looking away from him.
Sam chuckled, "You must not realize how much you mean to me."
She gripped the covers and bit her lip. How it was this human could have such a strong effect on her, in so many different ways, was baffling to her. "I could say the same to you," she said with a small smile as she looked back into his eyes.
Sam smiled and leaned forward pressing his lips against hers. As soon as their lips touched he felt intoxicated, maybe that was just how aliens affected humans, but he didn't care at all.
He wanted more.
He kissed her deeper until her mouth opened and their tongues met for the first time, tangling together. She pulled him down with her as she went to lay down, wrapping her legs around his waist and pulling their bodies close. Sam complied but was careful not to let their bodies touch to avoid embarrassing himself. Anna didn't seem to get the hint because she pulled him towards her again with her legs desperately seeking any kind of pressure from his body.
Sam broke the kiss, "Anna," he let his head rest near the crook of her neck, "We should be careful…" He said softly, his breath tickling her neck. He heard her exhale sharply and he focused on what was going on. He saw how smooth her skin looked, how inviting her neck was. He leaned down and kissed it gently.
Anna's eyes widened and her legs twitched in response, a small moan escaping her lips. It wasn't in her nature to be embarrassed about something like that, she was enjoying his touches to much, and the feel of his lips against her skin was bliss.
Sam gripped the covers tightly and pulled himself away, "Anna, please," he said slowly. Her moan had caught him completely off guard and it was hard for him not to continue, "I don't want to rush things with you…"
Anna could feel her body trembling lightly and she reached up to Sam's shoulders and placed her hands on them lightly, "I understand," she said with a small smile. She started to push herself up while Sam moved to sit back against the headboard again. She put her hand over her heart and sighed, "You say you're human but I think you might be lying," she said climbing under the covers, "Humans shouldn't affect my kind like you do," she said tossing the cover over him as well and cuddling up against him.
Sam got comfortable, wrapping his arm around her, "I think you are just tired," he joked trying to keep his embarrassment at a minimal.
Anna shook her head but didn't further the conversation being bright enough to get the hint.
"Jane, you shouldn't have spoken to the clerk like that, you aren't around regular people enough," it was John's voice, "You can't just call someone a dimwit and not expect—"
"Well if they didn't hire idiots who couldn't count I wouldn't have to point the obvious out," she said annoyed.
The door popped open and the two aliens stepped in with both hands full of bags looking slightly worn.
Anna perked up seeing John, "I'm so glad you two are safe," she said with a big smile. "What did you buy?" She asked grinning even wider.
John laughed; he closed and locked the door before tossing two wrapped sandwiches her way. She caught them both and examined them, her eyes narrowed, "What kind?" she asked dully.
John quickly looked guilty but shook it off and frowned, "Be grateful we could get anything," he said coolly walking over to the second bed, taking his shoes off and letting them neatly sit on what was going to be his side.
Anna looked down at the sandwiches nostalgically, "You sounded like, Henri," she said looking over to him; her smile didn't quite reach her eyes. She pulled them closer to her, "Thank you," she said happily.
John looked at her sadly, "One of those is for Sam," he said nodding towards him.
Anna handed one to Sam who was looking at her sadly, he wanted to comfort her so badly but he knew she wouldn't accept it with everyone around, she was hardly vulnerable to anyone except John. He envied that, he wanted to be the one Anna went to when she was in need of someone.
"I'll save this for tomorrow," she said holding hers up, "Do you want yours now?" She asked Sam.
He shook his head, "No, I can wait." He said taking them and setting them on the night stand.
"We need to be up pretty early guys, I suggest going to bed," Six said taking her leather jacket off and setting it on the back of one of the chairs. She didn't like being in the same spot for a long period of time especially since they really weren't very far from Ohio. They hadn't gone across the country; they were only a few states away which was nothing to the Mogs.
"How are we going to get there?" Anna asked not moving from her spot on Sam.
"Plane, that would be the easiest," Six said jumping into bed next to John unphased. She had been thinking about it for some time now and she and John had discussed it while at the grocery store. "We'll be going to Sri Lanka," she looked over to Anna and saw her expression, "I know it's a stretch," she said holding back her laugh. "But we don't feel the others in this country and the rainforest would be an amazing place to hide, we're going to try there."
Anna nodded, "No arguing with that," she said with a yawn.
"Go to sleep, Anna," John said climbing under the covers, "We have a long day ahead."
"Night everyone."
"Night."
"Goodnight"
"Hn."
