Chapter 8

Sammy's POV

When I got to the Senior Highrise it was already past 9. This was not gonna be good. When I got into the apartment, Grams rushed over to me. Apparently, she thought I got kidnapped.

I laugh and say, "Yeah Grams. Who would want to kidnap me?"

She just stared at me.

"What?" I asked nervously. Did she know about the kiss. Oh God, she knows.

"Why were you so late?"

Great, she was on to me. Should I tell her the truth? Yeah, i'll tell her part of the truth... just not the whole truth.

"Well, Me and Casey were watching movies for like 8 hours and then I fell asleep and when I woke up it was 8. Then Casey made us Mac' and Salsa cause I haven't eaten since breakfast, and after we were done eating, we played 20 questions, then I came home."

"Hmm.. okay than." That was all she said.

Then, I came right out and asked.

"Grams?" I was really nervous and I was shaking.

"Can I sleepover at Casey's house tomorrow? If my mom and Warren get married then I want Casey to give me a tour of the house before Warren proposes... and I want to pick my room. It's just one night." I pleaded.

"Samantha, I don't know about this. Sleeping over a boys house? It's not right."

I was completely desperate.

"What if Marissa and Danny were there with us? Girls in one room, boys in the other. How about that?

"I guess i'll consider that. But ask Marissa and Casey and Danny first.

"Okay Grams. Thanks."

"Your welcome. Now Im going to sleep. Good night."

"Good night, Grams"

After about an hour, I made sure she was sleeping. Then, I got to work. First, I called Marissa. Of course she said yes. Then.. I called Casey. When he picked up, I froze. The words got caught in my throat.

"Hello?" He said again. "Who's this?"

I actually laughed at that. I have no idea why. Im so weird.

"Sammy?" He asked confused.

"Yeah. Hi Casey." I said nervously.

He starts laughing, and now im the confused one. After about 6 minutes. He was STILL laughing.

"CASEY!" I yelled.

After a few seconds of laughing some more, he finally stopped laughing. Thank God, it's about time.

"Sorry, Sammy." He said.

"What's so funny?" I demanded.

"Nothing. It's just that at first no one talked and I was about to hang up but then I hear you mumbling to yourself and I guess I couldnt stop laughing. I thought you were a stalker." He said.

"Well, this 'stalker' wanted to ask you something. But, forget it now." I said half-teasing him.

"Aww, Sammy that's not fair." I could practically see him doing the puppy dog face through the phone. I feel bad. Should I tell him? Nah, Im just gonna tease him some more.

"Sammy, are you talking to me?" Casey asked confused again.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, wasn't that you mumbling about me doing the puppy dog face through the phone and you feeling bad. And then you asking yourself if you should tell me and then you changing your mind and saying that you were just gonna tease me some more?" I could tell he was smirking.

I was suddenly sick. He heard all that? I was talking out loud without even knowing? Im so stupid. Why did I call in the first place? Oh right. The Sleepover. Might as well get it over with.

"Hey Casey. Forget about that. Anyway, I wanted to know if me and Marissa could sleep over at your house tomorrow night?" I was kind of freaking out about his answer.

"Of course you guys can." He said then added. "We're gonna be living together soon anyways. I can give you a tour of the house and you can pick your room. I suggest you take the room across from mine. Then when you have nightmares, i'll be right there next to you in like 2 minutes. Just call my name and i'll be there for you. No matter what."

Of course I started blushing like crazy. I knew Casey meant what he said and I had a feeling that he wasn't just talking about me having nightmares. I loved that he always so protective of me. I was glad that I had someone like him.

And before I could stop myself I said, "Casey, I think I love you..."

"Sammy, I love you too."
