He shook her hand. It was very soft.

"Hey Jess… it's very nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Sam." She was blushing even more. Sam wished his face wasn't red.

"So, Sam… are you also camping or just passing by?"

"I'm camping… My friends and I just got here… what about you?"

"I'm in this camp right here, also with my friends… we got here yesterday."

He just couldn't stop looking at her. Her eyes were sparkling, her voice was like a sweet music… what was happening to him?


Jess was looking at that huge man, and she was trying to keep her voice steady, so he wouldn't notice how nervous she was. Where did that come from? When he introduced himself, he smiled at her, and all she could see were dimples… Jesus, what was that man? There was no such thing back home…

But there was more to him than the stunning look… his eyes were so kind… when she looked at them, she had that feeling she could trust this man, even though she knew nothing about him.

He smiled at her again.

"So Jess… I guess our friends are a little busy getting to know each other, so what do you say we go for a walk?"

I'd go to hell with you, she thought, and mentally slapped herself. What was that? She didn't even know this guy! But she would.

They walked for a while, they were very shy, so they were quiet for most of the time. But it wasn't awkward as she thought it would be, when it started getting dark, they went back closer to the camp, and ended up sitting on the sand.

They just stared at the water for a while. There was a full moon, so it was a bright night. They were very close, and Sam looked at her, and she could see the moon reflected on his eyes. She felt he was looking at the same thing on hers. She didn't know what to say, and apparently, neither did he. She barely knew this guy, but she was feeling strongly connected with him. Like there was nowhere else in this world she was supposed to be right now.

He gently touched her face, and his touch sent chills through her entire body. Still looking deeply into her eyes, he leaned closer to her and gently pressed his lips against hers.


Sam's whole body was on fire. He didn't know what was happening to him, he had never felt like this before. When he first lay his eyes on Jessica, it was as if they had met before. When they were walking on the beach, it was like there was only the two of them in the whole world. He couldn't see anybody else. They didn't even have to say much. There were no words for this.

When they were sitting together, he looked at her eyes and could see right through them, as if he was reaching her soul. He couldn't resist, it was like there was an invisible force pushing him towards her. He gently put his hand on her face, it was so soft. He leaned in to kiss her, and pressed his lips on hers. She had the sweetest lips. He opened his mouth, inviting her tongue in. She accepted the invitation, and explored his mouth. Their tongues were tangling, he put one hand on her back and the other on the back of her head. The kiss deepened, he didn't wanna let her go, ever, he wanted to have her in his arms forever.

But suddenly, she pushed him away. He looked at her confused.

"What's wrong Jess? You… didn't like it?"

He felt terrified. What if she wasn't feeling the same…

But she gave him a shy smile.

"No Sam, it's not that… it's just… it's happening so fast, I just met you… and I don't know what's happening to me, I've never felt this before!"

"So you feel it too? I'm not going crazy here?"

"Yes, I feel it… but I'm scared… as I said, we've just met…"

He smiled at her.

"I don't know what this is Jess. I haven't felt this before either, but when I first lay my eyes on you… it was like we had met before, I don't know, I feel something so strong… I don't wanna let you go."

She smiled again, and this time she appeared to be more relaxed. She leaned against him, and he put her arms around her.

"We don't have to go anywhere."


Sam woke up the next morning with a smile on his face. He stared at the tent's roof and starting remembering last night's events. Jess and him had stayed together at the beach for a while, he kissed her again, and again, he could kiss her his whole life and it wouldn't be enough. She smelled like roses and sunshine. Then they went back to Sam's camp and he introduce her to his friends. Jo had a look on her face that said "wow Sam, I thought Dean was the one who went after the chicks", but she had no idea. Nobody had and he couldn't even begin to explain. They all had eaten some sandwiches, and talked for a while, Jess got along right away with everybody, she was very easy-going, whenever one of the guys told a joke, she'd truly laugh, and the sound of it made Sam's heart fly. He wanted to hear the sound of this laugh for his entire life. For the whole time they spent with his friends, he kept his arm around her, and she rested hers on his leg. After a while, they decided to leave the guys and sat closer to the ocean. Sam didn't know how long they stayed there, all he knew was he wanted to be with that girl forever.

A head appeared at the tent's entrance. It was Matt.

"Hey there Sleeping Beauties! Planning to stay there all day long? It's a beautiful morning!"

Jo woke up and smiled at him.

"No, of course not… thanks for coming waking us up…"

"So, the guys are planning to go around, visit the places, having a fun day exploring everything, we're leaving in 30 minutes, come on!

Sam wasn't very fond of the idea, he wanted to spend the day with Jess, and was about to say he wasn't going when Matt continued.

"By the way Sam, the guys from the other camp are coming with us, and so is your girl."

Ok, he was convinced.

Sam changed and helped the guys to get everything ready. The girls prepared some sandwiches and packed some snacks for them to eat.

They headed towards the other camp and Sam spotted Jess immediately. She saw him too, and came towards him. He kissed her on the lips.

"Good morning beautiful! Did you sleep well?"

She gave him the prettiest smile.

"I did… but I couldn't wait to see you again!"

"Neither could I… but guess what, looks like we have a day full of adventures waiting for us…"

He preferred to stay alone with her, but it would be good to hang out with everybody… and since she was coming too, he could deal with it.

They spent an awesome day together. They took a trail that led to an ecological preserve, where they could see a lot of marine birds. Then, they headed to San Elijo Lagoon, and hung around for a long time. It was really beautiful there. They spent almost all day long visiting all the places. Jo was taking some pictures, and she took one of Sam and Jess at the lake.


They headed back to the camp at sunset, and after they showered and changed the clothes, they had a barbecue. The only thing bothering Sam was that Jess and him didn't have a moment alone during the whole day. But at least they had stayed together all the time, and everytime there was a chance, he'd steal a kiss from her. It was incredible, he had only met this girl yesterday, and he could say he was already in love with her. He didn't believe in such thing as love at first sight, but there was no other explanation. He needed her by his side, he had to touch her, feel her scent. He needed this girl in his life.

The barbecue went on until after midnight, and after that, they had a bonfire at the beach. Jess sat next to Sam, and he put his arms around her. The guys were singing and playing the guitar, it was very nice. After an hour, Jess' friends started going back to their camp to sleep, and Sam's friends were doing the same, they were all very tired. Before going to his tent tho, Sam took Jess' hand and walked with her further away from everybody.

"I'm sorry we didn't spend any time alone today… but tomorrow we'll have all day long to ourselves."

She smiled and got closer to him.

"That was okay, I had a lot of fun, and even though there was no privacy at all, at least we were together. It was amazing Sam, and it's amazing being with you. I cannot wait for tomorrow…"

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

"Me neither…"

He brushed his lips against hers, relishing that moment, taking her scent in as much as possible, he wanted to feel she was real and not just imagination, it seemed impossible that he had found such an amazing girl. He wanted to carve that feeling in his brain forever. He kissed her passionately, his tongue exploring her mouth, she tasted so sweet. It was like they were made to complete each other, their mouths fit each other perfectly, his arms fit around her perfectly. This was the girl of his dreams, he was completely sure about that now.

He took her back to her camp. He wished she would sleep with him in his tent, but he wouldn't dare ask, it was not like he was planning to do anything, but still, he felt she was different, so he wouldn't dare ask. Before leaving, he turned to her.

"Jess, I know we've just met, but like I said, I've never felt like this before. I feel like I know you all my life, and even though it's scary, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever felt. I don't want you to forget that."

She hugged him tight. "How can I forget if I feel the exact same way? I'll never forget this."

He didn't want to let her go, but he finally gave her a good night kiss and went back to the camp.

Sam dreamt about her all night, and when he woke up, he spent some tome lying down and thinking about this amazing girl that in only 2 days, already had his whole heart. He couldn't wait to spend the whole day with her, and he realized he barely knew anything about her. Damn, he was in love with this girl and didn't even know her last name, or where she lived, what she did… he wanted to find out more about her, so he made a mental note to ask her that stuff when they met today.

Jo was still sleeping, and he got out of the tent. He was thinking about going to Jess' camp to see if she was already up, when he heard Bill's voice behind him.

"Hey Sam!"

"Morning Bill, what's up?"

"It's good that you're up! I need to go to the city and buy some stuff we're short of, we really ate and drank a lot at the barbecue yesterday… ad things here are expensive, it's better if we have a trip to the market to buy those things… all the other guys are still sleeping, would you mind coming with me to give me a hand?"

Sam wasn't so sure, he really wanted to go and see Jess…

"I don't know Bill, why don't you ask Matt or…"

"Come on, man! We'll only be gone for an hour or 2… it won't take long, I promise, we'll be back before you know it!"

"Okay, let me change, talk to Jo and we can go…"


Jess woke up with a smile on her face, Sam was there in her dreams, and she was glad it was already morning, so she could hurry to his camp and spend the whole day with him. Then, she saw someone coming inside her tent. It was her friend Kate, and she looked worried.

"Jess, we're gonna have to go."

She sat up.

"What happened Kate? Why?"

"David's father had a stroke, he called home and his mom told him, it's pretty bad, he's at the hospital. The guys are already starting to pack, we feel like we have to be with him, to support him you know…"

Jess didn't think twice. David was a good friend.

"Of course we have to be with him, let's go. I'll pack my stuff."

And then, she remembered Sam.

"Oh God… Kate, there's Sam, I have to let him know… I'll go to the other camp to talk to him and explain the situation, I won't take long."

Jess felt horrible for leaving Sam, all she wanted was to spend these days with him, but she had to be there for her friend. She would explain it to him, and they'd be in touch. She didn't know where he lived yet, she wish it was somewhere close.

She arrived at the camp and found Jo sitting outside their tent.

"Hey Jo, is Sam in there?"

"Hi Jess, Sam's not here, Bill and him went to buy some groceries for us… but is something wrong? You look worried…"

Her heart sank.

"Yeah, My friend's father had a stroke, and we're gonna have to leave… I wanted to say good bye to Sam before I go…"

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear this… I think they'll take a while though, they left 15 minutes ago…"

She was almost in tears. She couldn't believe she wouldn't be able to say good bye to him…

"Jo, do you have a piece of paper?"

Jo gave it to her, along with a pen. She wrote down her phone, and gave it back to her.

"Jo, could you give this to Sam when he gets back? It's my number, and please explain to him why I had to leave… tell him… tell him it was amazing."

What else she could say? Tell him I'm in love with him? Tell him I want to spend the rest of my life with him, that nobody made me feel this way before? She couldn't say that to Jo, she had to tell Sam…

"Yeah, no problem Jess, I'll give it to him… I'm sorry about what happened, I hope everything works out…"

She couldn't say anything else, she was in the verge of tears. With a final glance to his tent, she headed back to her camp, packed her stuff, and they all left.


Jo put the piece of paper with Jo's number in the back pocket of her shorts. She felt bad for her, and Sam would be sad when he returned, he really seemed to like her…

She spent some time lying in front of the tent listening to some music in the CD player, she was starting to get hungry and was thinking about getting something to eat when Matt came out of his tent. God, he was cute… She wondered if he had noticed her… She stopped the music.

"Hey Matt!"

He smiled and came towards her.

"Hey there little Jo! What a lovely sunny day! You wanna go for a swim?"

How could she refuse that?

"Of course, let me just get changed…"

But he wouldn't wait, he picked her up in his arms (wow, he was so strong!) and hurried to the water. He only let her go when they were inside it, and they went deeper until the water was up to their chests. She splashed water at him.

"Hey, what was that for?"

She laughed.

"You're such a jerk! You didn't even gave me time to change, I'm in the water with my clothes on…"

Her expression changed.

"What happened Jo?"

She felt her stomach drop.

"OH NO, NO, NO!"

She reached her back pocket, but she had no hope. She took out the piece of paper, or what was left of it. It fell apart on her hands, she couldn't read the number anymore.
