"So what happened?" Rubin said bringing their smoothies to the table.
Sam looked up at him and grabbed her smoothie.
"You won't hurt me will you?" he said sitting down.
Sam laughed.
"I told you, change of heart remember?"
"Oh yeah."
"Anyway it's just a little complicated."
"It's OK if you don't want to tell me."
Sam took a sip of her smoothie before answering.
"No it's fine I'll tell you."
Sam started from the beginning, from the rose, to finding out who it was. To the movie theater, to the cheater.
"Whoa, no idea you could be such a drama magnet." Rubin said looking at her.
Sam noticed how cute he was just sitting there like a little boy.
"So is that why you had a change of heart? To prove to Serena?" He asked.
Sam nodded.
"You know Rubin," She said "I'm glad you came by tonight. I honestly don't know why I told you, no offense, but that was pure chance you would randomly be walking to Groovy Smoothies that second."
"No problem Sam. I really missed you, well, even though you yelled at me that last day."
Sam looked down.
"I'm sorry Rubin. What did I even say to you anyway?"
"I can't remember, something about being a stalker jerk that doesn't know how to cook."
They both laughed.
"I honestly had no idea what I was saying."
"You really don't think I know how to cook?" Rubin asked smiling at her.
"I don't know, never seen you cook."
"We'll I'm living with my dad, he doesn't live that far from here. You want to come over Friday, just to take your mind off things?"
Sam took two more sips of her smoothie before realizing it was gone. She Threw into the garbage can.
"Is your dad going to be there?" She asked.
"No he has to work the night shift that night."
"As long as you don't burn the house down, I think I can come."
"I swear." He said throwing his own cup into the garbage.
"You want me to walk you to your house, not safe for you to be out late like this."
Sam nodded.
"You don't know where I live though."
"You can show me."
Sam smiled and they walked out the door.
Sam shivered.
Rubin saw she had a short sleeve shirt on.
"Here," He said taking off his black jean jacket.
HE put it around Sam.
"Thanks." She said.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Well here we are." Sam said stopping.
"No kidding? My dad's house is around the corner." Rubin said pointing.
"Thanks Rubin, for everything." Sam gave him back his jacket. "I'll go to you from now on."
"See you tomorrow Sam." Rubin said "And Friday."
Before he could leave, Sam kissed him, then opened the door and walked inside.
"Whoa," Sam said leaning against the door sighing.
On the other side of the door Sam was unaware that Rubin did the same thing.
