Really? That's the best I could do? Sam lay herself down on the couch, more or less arguing with herself. Six years I've known Lara. Six years I've... I've been fucking crazy about her, and the best I could do was that? Urgh! Sam lifted herself up and looked at the time.

"Six-thirty? Food should be here soon."

And on cue, the door bell rang. Sam answered and took the food and payed. She hurried back to the room and began to think.

Alright. Enough of this shit. Just come up with a plan Sam! You can do that! Ok...

She began by emptying the bag and getting plates. The table already had its own cloth on it, a huge red one, beautiful but huge. Sam began unpacked two beers, then paused.

Beer isn't exactly romantic, is it? She placed them down and thought. But then again, neither's Chinese food really...

She gave up with the whole idea and decided it was probably best if they just sat in the living room watching TV with their take out. Seemed to make more sense than sitting in the dining room with Sam attempting to say her feelings but never getting to say them and making a fool of herself in front of her crush and making Lara feel uncomfortable.

Sam left the food on the coffee table in the living room and sat down again.

"Lara! Food's here!" She shouted.

"I'll be down soon Sam!" Was the reply she received, and knew Lara would take forever. Sam returned to her position on lying on te couch and staring up at the ceiling, and began to collect her thoughts together.

Ok Sam. You're crazily scared and in love right now, which is normal. Right? Should be... Just keep a cool head and talk casually for a bit, then confess. Simple!

She chuckled at herself and placed her arm over her eyes.

Cause that'll happen. I've what? Spent the whle time with her convincing her to talk to cute guys and have fun? With all that bullshit I said, she probably thinks I'm just trying to get her hooked up, not in love with her. And the fact that I am is another problem cause what if she isn't with me? What if she's got her sights set on someone else? I mean, her and Alex before... Even though he's gone, maybe she can't get over him. I wouldn't blame her, he was a nice kind and funny guy but...

Sam squeezed her eyes shut, preventing anny tears from falling.

Great. Feeling jealous over a dead guy! And saying that like a harsh person! Way to go Sam! Urgh... Lara...

"Lara..."

"I'm here Sam!"

Sam shot up, startled and staring. She saw Lara, looking incredibly hot as always, looking at her first in confusion, but then laughing. God her laugh is adorable...

"Sorry for startling you. But I do believe that we eat the food then sleep, not the other way around."

Sam smirked and stuck her tongue out.

"I wasn't sleeping! I was on the verge to though since you were taking forever!"

Lara laughed again. Stop being so freakin' adorable Lara!

"Well, something new to add to your documentary on me; Its difficult for me to leave my habitat.

Sam had already had the camera on and had left it on since the food arrived. She picked it up from the coffee table and zoomed in on Lara.

"Being away from her natural habitat is heartbreaking for the Lara Croft, so hard, that she has to say a twenty minute goodbye when leaving to gain food."

Lara walked towards Sam, covering the camera with her hand and taking it away from her.

"And cut." She said, placing the camera down and sitting next to Sam, opening the food.

"Smells delicious."

"Lets hope it tastes as good as it smells." Sam replied. She felt calmer now that Lara was here and happier, but her fears took over, so she rejected her heart's instinct and began to eat. Lara joining her.

"Delicious. So how's your little searches coming along Lara?" Sam asked. She took a great intrest in her friend's work, and enjoyed seeing how happy Lara would look talking about it. After all, to be a close friend of Lara's, you have to show that you're interested in her life's ambitions and work, which of course, Sam was more than interested in hearing.

"It's really going somewhere! I've been recently studying Greek Mythology. It's really quite interesting, especially the different types of Gods and Goddesses no one has heard of before. The islands, the questions my father asked and never got to find the answers to, I really do think I'm close to solving them."

"Greek huh? Well, they do have beautiful islands. Perfect scenes, crystal clear water, though I doubt you'll have time for any of that will you my little tomb raider?"

Lara giggled and... Blushed? There was a little blush on her face! No way. She's blushing over something I said?! No... No she's... She couldn't be... But she is!

"I wouldn't mind to, but yes, your little tomb raider would much prefer to do the job described in my name. Enjoying myself can be for later."

"Really? What're you going to do to enjoy yourself?"

Lara shrugged.

"Haven't got a clue. But, I'm sure that there's bound to be some fucked up adventure for where I'm heading so that'll give me the adrenaline I'll need."

Sam chuckled and picked up both hers and Lara's plate.

"Where exactly are you aiming to go?" She walked into the kitchen and scrapped both plates and later placed them in the sink.

"Tihocan? Or St Francis Folly, one or the other. There's definitely something in there my father wanted to find. What I'm not sure."

Same returned to Lara and smiled. She picked up her camera and began to film again.

"We now find out the Lara Croft's true motives! Her destination being Greece, specifically Tihocan or St Francis Folly, to uncover what her father could not..."

Lara smiled and stood up.

"And the Sam's love for filmmaking is starting to worry the Lara, as she wastes too much money on upgrades for cameras."

Sam giggled.

"I've a rich family! Too rich, so I have to spend it somehow! Why not spend it on something I love?"

"Is that why you always suggest spending some on me?"

Sam stood frozen. She didn't know how to respond. She looked up from her camera and saw Lara was looking down too, looking... Ashamed?

"Shit, I'm sorry I... I didn't..."

"Its ok sweetie. No harm done."

She saw Lara staring into her eyes now. They look so... Hurt and closed. She was hiding something again. Damnit Lara!

"Sweetie, what;s wrong?"

Lara shook her head.

"I'm sorry Sam, I.. I have to go... Study some more."

And with those final words, Lara zoomed past Sam, quickly going upstairs to her room. Sam looked down at the camera, still rolling, and sighed. She then faced the camera to herself and spoke.

"Time to cut the bullcrap and talk to Lara. Let's go."

Why she was talking to the camera like that, she didn't know. But she did know that enough time had been wasted, and she had to confess this time. If Lara didn't loveher back, it would be understandable, but heartbreaking. But no matter what the outcome, Sam would continue to love her best friend, her crush, her soul mate, her hero.
