Thursday came too quickly and before I knew it I was about to head to billy's house, once again I was driving past the forest, however today I noticed it seemed oddly still. I looked into the trees and shivered I hated this drive it was just so damn creepy.
Soon I was pulling into billy's drive way only to find a lot of tall people waiting outside. If I didn't know anybetter I'd say they were waiting for me.
Soon I stepped out of the car " Saki" Billy greeted.
"Hello Billy" I smiled
Then sam stepped out from the group " Saki" he greeted his eyes scorching mine.
" So today I haven't really got that many things for you to so we are going to the beach, do you want to come?" He said
"Oh I don't know" I stuttered
"Please, I could really use your help um… " he looked around for what I guessed was inspiration "Um carry the food. Yes, theres a lot of food."
"Uh, OK."
Soon we were at the beach much to my dismay. I hated water, just thinking about it would make me shiver. It carried to many bad memories. I let my eyes wonder over first beach.
"Pretty, Huh?" Sam said from behind me.
"Uh yeah I guess so." I said uncomfortably
"The boys are going swimming if you want to come, Kim has a spare swimsuit." He invited
"No thank you, I uh can't swim" I said
"Really? Well I guess I'll just stay here and keep you company" he said as he took as seat next to me.
"Ah no really it's ok, go and enjoy yourself I'll watch." I said
"No it's alright those boys can get kinda of ruff any way." He said
After that we kinda drifted into an uncomfortable silence.
"So, how are you liking Forks" he said
"It's nice, very quiet. But as strange as it sounds I think it's a little…spooky." I confessed, I had no idea why I would confess my thoughts to him like that.
"Spooky." He echoed.
"Yeah, the forests they give me the creeps." I said shuddering.
He looked at me seriously in a way which I didn't understand "You should stay away from the woods, they are not safe."
"Anyway, Uhm you and those boys seem pretty close." I noticed looking to the boys wrestling in the shallow water.
"Well yeah, were more like a family." He said looking towards them.
"That's nice" I smiled. It really was a happy scene everyone happily playing on the beach.
Suddenly the peaceful scene was interrupted by my phone ringing. Micah, Calling.
I looked down at the phone planning to ignore it but then Sam said" Go ahead."
"Hello, Micah?" I answered.
"Hey, Baby girl." He answered.
"Hey what's up butter cup?" I answered back smiling slightly.
"Nothing much, just seeing how your settling." He said
"Oh it's good, but can I call you back I'm out right now."
"Oh okay sure." He said. "I'll talk to you later baby girl."
"Okay, bye" I hung up.
I turned to Sam "sorry about that."
It was then I noticed he looked hurt but when I looked at him he quickly covered it up. Did I say something?
"Your Boyfriend?" he asked, slightly strained.
"No, more like my brother. Sort of" I said laughing "I had a hard time in my teenage years and he was my best friend I owe a lot to him and we still are close." I finished.
"So don't take this as rude, but how old are you?" he asked
"25, you?" I smiled
"You don't look 25. And I'm 24" he said.
"Yeah I know, I think it is the height thing" I said smiling. Another lie.
The time I spent with Sam was something I had selfishly craved for a long time. Attention someone who would just talk to me as a friend rather than a nurse. He listened to every word I said, and I he told m about himself as if he actually cared. I was starting to like him more than I had liked anyone in a long time.
"So Sorry If this may seem fast but, would you want to go on a date with me, we could just go out for dinner or have a drink or.." He said nervously.
"Yes," I said smiling "Dinner sounds good."
"Okay" He said smiling happily "Are you busy tomorrow night?"
"Tomorrow night sounds good." I replied smiling just as much as he was.
I gave him my address and we agreed that he would pick me up at seven. Soon after that it started to rain so we all escaped to the indoors.
"Well I really should get going" I said excusing myself " I have a night shift tonight"
Soon I said my byes to everyone and I drove home and got ready for work.
