Thanks for all of the reviews! Reviewers are like the peanut butter to my jelly...that is if you like pb&j... :]

"Thanks Mrs. Ely," Sam said before slamming the car door shut. She looked towards Jake's empty truck parked by Phil's. She debated on whether to go inside or wait for him by the truck.

Smiling at her new found idea she sneaked over to his truck and was glad Jake rode with the windows down. Sam hoisted herself through his window clumsily and hid on the floor. Just as her back was cramping she felt Jake throw something in the bed of the truck. She bit her lip to keep from laughing, he pulled the driver side door open and Sam made a leap for him.

"Holy—!" Jake jumped back surprised and Sam fell on the drivers seat laughing.

"Sam?"

Sam continued laughing, she tried to talk but couldn't, the entire moment was priceless.

"Yeah, ha-ha, get it all out," Jake grabbed her under her armpits and dragged her out of his seat so she was standing outside with him. Sam squealed as she nearly fell when Jake let go.

He climbed in on the driver's seat and slammed the door causing Sam to sober up.

"Jake? Oh, come on it was just a joke. You know…tee-hee?"

Sam heard the audible click as he locked the doors, and then started the truck. He didn't look at her and Sam began to worry.

"Ok now you make funny," she gave a fake nervous laugh and took a step towards the truck. Jake put it in reverse. "Wait! Your not going to leave me here are you?"

In response Jake stepped on the gas making the truck jump backwards. He slammed it in gear and Sam ran after him as he set the truck forward. Just as she was yelling for him and almost in reach of the truck he slammed on the brakes. Sam ran into it at full speed and fell backwards.

She moaned when she saw Jake's shadow loom over her, his tom-cat grin playing on his face.

"Oh, come on Sam…it was just a joke. You know, he-he?" He teased bending down to rest his hands on his knees.

Sam stuck her tongue out at him then used her leg to knock him over. Her martial art training for the movie was starting to come in handy, she thought as Jake landed on his back right beside her.

He groaned. "Impressive."

"Thanks," Sam answered a little out of breath.

"How about some cake?" Jake suggested still laying on his back trying to regain his breath from the fall.

Sam laughed and moaned. "Ugh, sounds good."

They both moaned and groaned as they pushed themselves up in sitting position. A few people stared but no one dared to come over to see what was happening. Jake stood and gave Sam a hand.

"I swear if you messed up my face Kenny is going to kick your ass."

Jake laughed and caught Sam as she slipped.

"Um, you better go take care of your truck. I'll get us a table," Sam said nodding towards his still running truck. Jake laughed.

"Your right, I'm sure you dented it."

Sam punched him in the arm but he only continued to laugh. She walked stiffly to the diner. She smiled at Clara and pointed to a both, she nodded. She sighed as she sat down on the cool vinyl. That Chevy was definitely going to leave a mark…

Jake walked in and Sam waved him over. He too sighed as he sat on the cool vinyl. He cracked his neck and Sam shuddered.

"Ick, I hate that."

Jake smiled. "I know."

One pineapple upside down cake and chocolate milkshake (vanilla for Jake) later Sam sat with Jake in his truck parked near the lake. She sipped on what was left of her milkshake before playing with the straw. She took a sip of water with it so it was clean, then she wadded a piece of paper and shot it at Jake. It hit him on the ear and she laughed. It was really quiet making Sam uncomfortable. She cleared her throat and looked down at her shoes.

"Sorry about earlier…you know? At school," she apologized not looking at him. "I feel like I've been saying that a lot recently." She chuckled humorlessly. Silence.

Jake sucked in a deep breath. "How come you haven't said anything…about—well you know?"

Sam looked out her window and sighed. "'Cause I don't know what to say," she looked over at Jake and he was looking at her. She lowered her eyes to her hand that was resting on the middle seat. "What do you want me to say?" She whispered.

Jake reached out his hand and his fingertips grazed hers. "I want you to say you're as confused as I am."

"I'm as confused as you are." She looked up at him and found him staring intently at their hands, their touch barely there but still burning as if asking to be closer. With a shaky hand Sam brushed it over Jake's softly. She heard him sigh and looked into his face. His eyes were closed and he had that internal battle look, she wished she knew what he was battling over.

Sam jumped a little as he grabbed the hand that was lightly grazing his. He opened his eyes and Sam's heart fluttered at the intensity in them. Sam watched as he slowly brought her hand to his mouth and place a light kiss on, he drew away but came back down for another kiss on her wrist. He slowly trailed them up her arm, pulling her closer to him the further he got, shoulder, neck, he paused briefly at her neck and Sam had to remind herself to control her breathing. Finally he moved to her chin then hovered over her lips. Sam was glad to see he was breathing as hard as she was, her lips parted slightly and she closed her eyes.

"I'm not confused anymore…," she whispered before Jake closed the distance between them. Jake pulled on the wrist he was still holding so Sam sat on his lap. Sam felt a fire flow through her body as her lips moved slowly and in sync. Sam ran her free hand up Jake's arm, she felt him shudder beneath her and smiled on his lips. They broke apart for a quick breathe. Sam rested her forehead against Jake's.

It was like suddenly then that it hit her. She wanted him. She wanted to be with him, like this, all the time. These feeling inside her were so foreign but they felt so right. She didn't know if it was love right away but she was pretty sure she was falling for him. Sam smiled at that thought and grabbed Jake's face to pull him in for another kiss.

Sam unleashed all her intensity on the kiss. Jake moaned and grabbed her hips pulling her impossibly close. Sam mirrored him using her hands to try to pull him closer, except hers resulted to her falling onto the horn making them both jump.

Sam bit her swollen lip and smiled sheepishly, Jake chuckled.

"Wow," he sighed tracing her lips with his fingertips. "Now what?"

Sam kissed his finger before sighing herself. "I'd love to kiss you again."

Jake smiled. "I can handle that."

Sam wrapped her arms around his neck and bent to whisper in his ear. "Or so you think."

Er? Suckish. I know :-/ Review anyway! :) What will happen to our new confused friends? Or are we more than friends now? -waggles eyebrows- Oh and let's not forget what little Violette told Sammy!
