Chapter 15: Count On You

LOGAN'S POV:

Yippie. La di frickin da. It's Valentine's Day. The day I really dislike that I have no one in my life. Everyone makes such a big freaking deal about this day, but it's just one day! Messed up lovebirds… Their heads are filled with love. No, more like air. Airheads, yeah…

Kendall and Krista were closer than ever after their engagement. They couldn't be separated for more than an hour. It was sickening how much they'd kiss now, in public or not at all. At first it was sweet, but now it's just… icky.

Well, only to me I guess. Carlos and Riley were extremely happy with each other, always laughing and hugging over everything. We'd all be in the middle of conversation when Carlos would say something and Riley would just burst out laughing in response. No one else would get it, though. They had their own little secret communication system, starting their own private conversations while talking to others. Once again, it seemed like a great multi-tasking job at first, but then it got annoying.

And then there's James and Sam. The quiet, cuddly couple. But, according to the girls, they were turning into a hands-on couple… No idea where that came from. But I guess they really like to… uh… kiss? Hug? Make-out? Get heated? Play hanky-panky? Woah, nope not that one. But they were pretty… CLOSE to say the least. Their relationship involved into the most passionate one, since they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Not in inappropriate ways, of course. James and Sam weren't those kind of people. But I guess those bottled up feelings they had for each other for two years were finally being shown.

And then there was me. Again. All frigging alone. Couldn't find one damn date out there. Not to sound conceited, but I thought I was attractive. I mean attractive enough to find someone. But then again, I wasn't really looking too hard. Too be honest, I had feelings for someone in our group. But then she got into a relationship with one of the guys. I was still happy for her, though. I mean all the other guys in the band were great people, so at least she met someone good. But I just had to move on and find someone else. Hopefully I could find someone. Not today though. If I found a girl today, the purpose would seem to only have her as a valentine. And I didn't want that. So for now, I guess I was good.

RILEY'S POV:

Oh I couldn't wait for Valentine's Day! Carlos and I started dating on New Year's but already I felt so happy! He was the sweetest and cutest person I had ever met. Every single time I was with him, he would always be able to get a laugh out of me. And sometimes a snort, which he said he loved. It was so good to be in a happy relationship for once. With my other doomed romances and bad attempts to date, I finally found someone I really liked. Maybe even loved. I couldn't tell, since we were only dating a month. But it sure felt special. He made me feel so happy and relaxed, like I knew I could completely be myself around him no matter what. I missed him when he was gone, and loved every second he was with me. There was so much more I liked about him too, besides his perfect Latino features. I, for one, absolutely adored his laugh, it always brightening up my mood if I was low. The little things he did too, like bringing me an extra water bottle during dance practice or giving me his Northface when I was cold, showed how much he cared. And when I added all of those things together, it made me realize something. I might be in love with Carlos Pena Jr.

KENDALL'S POV:

I was on top of the world right now. I finally asked my beautiful girlfriend to become my wife, and she accepted. It felt like such a right time to ask since we were both in deep love. I didn't even rush our relationship with the engagement; it just felt right. Everyone expected for us to get engaged, anyway, since we were so in love. And something was telling me that Krista wanted the next step. Well, more like someone. Sam was kind enough to let me when Krista was craving something. Sometimes Sam didn't enjoy being the messenger, though. Especially when it involved our sex life. Yes, we had already. But Sam didn't judge us or anything. She knew we loved each other extremely much, and that was the important thing. But now we were engaged and beginning to plan the rest of our lives together. And I loved every minute of it so far.

JAMES' POV:

Things were a little awkward at first after Sam and I had our almost on the couch. We were still cuddly and all, but we didn't extend our kiss besides a passionate one now and then. Hopefully our passion would come back a little after Valentine's Day. She and I already did a fancy dinner date, so we arranged to spend the whole entire day together. We would go ice-skating, walk through the park, and then have homemade dinner at my place. I think Sam was a little apprehensive about the cooking, but I was a good cook! Only a few small manageable fires… Making Mac & Cheese… Oh god this was going to fail miserably. But hey, maybe we could cook together!

We started off the day by going to the local ice-skating rink. Sam was pretty quiet lately, the same actions coming back before at Riley's apartment. But she was trying her best to stay happy, always clinging to me for some reason. We were a cuddly couple, but her gestures were more prominent. She always would wrap her arms around me wherever we walked, the side of her body pressed right against mine. Her hand always had to be intertwined with mine, squeezing and swaying them. I guess after that incident, she just really wanted to be with me. Maybe that made her feelings for me stronger? I honestly had no clue, but I was trying to think of some way that made her this way.

I was putting on my ice-skates on the bench, watching Sam struggling to stand up to walk in hers. She had never been on skates, but I had persuaded her enough to try it out. Plus it was a great way to be together more. She stood up and grabbed onto the railing, tottering for a few seconds before gaining her balance. "Remind me why I let you talk me into this?" she groaned, adjusting her white scarf around her neck and fixing her black earmuffs.

"Because you love me" I replied back with a smile, standing up perfectly and making my way over to her. "Plus I'm such smooth-talker too…" I spoke, my voice deepening near her ear. I was rubbing from the top of her arms down, my eyebrow rising at her seductively. Even with her puffy white coat on, she still looked gorgeous.

Sam just rolled her eyes and sighed. "Oh yeah, that's why" she said sarcastically, her hands dropping from my wrists. "Let's go on the ice. Show me what you got, twinkle toes." Sam pushed me backward a little, my hands flying out a little to try and gain my balance. She was just giggling, her left hand covering her mouth.

"Twinkle toes? I see how it is. You're going to regret that!" I yanked her by the arm and stepped onto the ice, making her wobble on the ice skates right in front of me. Her face completely dropped as her skates moved because of my force. I pushed her until her whole body was in front of me, her chest facing me as I held onto both of her hands.

Sam shifted her feet and looked at me. "You bastard!" she muttered at me, smirking and shaking my hands. "Ok, now I'm scared…" Her teeth went to her bottom lip, trying to figure out what to do next.

I laughed and moved so we were standing side by side. "Relax, babe. I got you" I assured her, still holding onto her left hand. "No just act like you are on roller skates and push off of each foot." To make it a little easier, I pushed off first slightly to show her, moving a foot in front of her. Turning around, I noticed she still hadn't moved. "Your turn."

She glanced down at her feet and moved her left foot back and forth on the ice. "I swear to god if I fall, you sure as hell are falling down with me…" she uttered, wiggling her shoes again. After taking in a breath, she finally took a step and pushed off her left foot, moving up to me. I also started skating, making sure I kept a slow pace while gripping onto Sam's hand. We were skating out into the middle, moving slowly as Sam warmed up on her seats. "Hey, I'm getting the hang of this!" she squealed, throwing our hands up in the air in triumph.

"See! You're not going to fall!" I replied, gesturing to her increasing skating skills. But then I spoke too soon. Well, actually, I was the one who kinda fell. I was too busy smiling at Sam and looking at her that I pushed off too much on my right foot, causing me to slip and tumble back. Sam let go of my hand in surprise, jumping back slightly and bringing her hands to her mouth as I fell right on my ass. There was a loud THUMP, and people stopped skating to look at me and laugh as I slide on the ice. I couldn't help but laugh myself. I got too caught up in love that I wasn't even paying attention. Laying down on the ice, I leaned up on my elbows and stared at a hysterical Sam.

She was laughing like crazy, her head tilting down and eyes closing while her hand was still covering your mouth. "Perfect landing" she remarked sarcastically, clapping her hands loudly as they gave me a thumbs up. "And you're supposed to be the better skater…" She crossed her arms and lifted her eyebrows.

I raised my own eyebrow and thought of something. "You haven't fallen…" I began, sitting up on the ice. "Yet!" After saying that, I reached my hand out and grabbed hers, pulling her down with me. Sam's mouth opened in shock as she came crashing down over my lap. Her skates went up in the air as her stomach landed right inside my lap, her hair falling in front of her face and getting messed up.

She used her hands to crawl up from my lap and turn to look at me. "You asshole!" she spat, the hair in her face blowing up from the breath out. A small smirk appeared on her face as I just watched her with a sneaky face. "You're supposed to fall with me! Not me fall with YOU!"

"I'm sorry, baby" I apologized, kissing her forehand. "But I just had to! You called me twinkle toes!" I poked her in the arm and squeezed as she sat on top of me. We were too lazy to get up, plus we loved being in each others' arms. Everyone else made sure to skate around us, and some were awing at our actions.

Sam brushed off my shoulder and put her right hand there. "Well you proved me wrong, so no more twinkle toes…" She brought her hand to my face and rubbed her thumb on my cheek gently. "I kind of liked it though." She smiled bright and bit her bottom lip to keep from laughing.

"No, no more twinkle toes!" I groaned out with a laugh. "I think hun is enough." She sometimes called me hun, letting it slip from her tongue if she ever needed me or had to reach me.

"Hun" Sam repeated, looking like was in thought. She collapsed into my back again, her head leaning on my shoulder. "Oh god, we sound like a married couple already!" she moaned, giggling on my shoulder.

I just sat there laughing with her, my arms around her waist and in front of her stomach. It was so comfortable on the ice, just sitting there and laughing away. That comment she said made me stop for a second. We really did, with how much we hugged and embraced each other. I would stop sometimes and think about what it would be like to be married to Sam. And it was really wonderful. I loved her so much, and just knowing that she could officially be mine for the rest of my life made me happy.

We ended our time on the ice shortly after, groaning while we were trying to stand up. Then we headed back out through the park, walking with each other as we stared at the snow. Surprisingly enough, there was some small snow left over where we lived, making it perfect romantic weather. The time was about 4 o'clock, and we decided to cook dinner earlier so we could have more cuddle time.

The night was going great. We made marinated chicken and roasted potatoes. I was just happy my kitchen didn't burst into flames and burn down! Sam was a great cook, cooking the chicken perfectly and the making the potatoes just crunchy enough. We were going to make brownies next, but that didn't really work out. I kinda "accidentally" flung the batter at her face, it splashing across her nose and upper face. Then she got pissed and told me not to do that again. But, being the teasing boyfriend I was, I took the rubber scraper and smooshed the batter all over her face, rubbing it into her cheeks and down her neck. Sam got wicked angry then, and decided that she wanted revenge. So she took the whole damn bowl with the batter and dumped it over my head, it dripping down into my hair and onto the floor. She wrung her hands out by shaking them, the brownie mix flying on my cabinets and floor.

Pretty soon it turned into a brownie war, rolling around on the messy floor and trying to rub more brownie mix on our bodies. The mix was flying everywhere, getting into our hair, clothes, and any other spot besides out mouth. I stopped wrestling Sam and looked down at her shining face, laughing and smiling right back at me. Then I leaned down and kissed her lightly, my lips brushing up against hers for a second. That's all it took for Sam to pull me right back on her and kiss me deeper, lifting up after and licking her lips.

"You know, I might switch to chocolate lip-gloss now that I think about it" she noted, getting the rest of the chocolate off her lips.

I grinned and sat up off of her. "Yes please. I would love to taste that. Not that I don't like strawberry either…" I stopped and stared at her for a minute, looking at all the chocolate over her body and clothes. That looked really good. And sexy. Well, it was Valentine's Day. Maybe I could help her clean up by- No, that was a dirty thought. Sam saw my face and chuckled, standing up off her floor.

"I know that look, Maslow!" she pointed out, putting her hands on her hips. "Well, it is Valentine's Day..." She pondered on that thought for a moment before looking down at her wrecked soft pink tank-top. "Ugh, I should wash this before it stains…" Her hands went down to her tank-top, pulling it right off to reveal her silky white bra. I froze for a second, the same urge coming back from earlier in the month. I really wanted her right now. The fact that it was Valentine's Day made it even more special, but I just wanted to show my girl how much I loved her. Her face looked at me and questioned me, her eyes squinting. "James?" she asked, breaking me from my thought. "What's up?"

I shook my head and brought my hand to my forehead, rubbing it with two fingers. "I was just admiring your body…" I admitted, sighing into my arm and trying to laugh. I had to tell her truth. But she was my girlfriend, so I loved every part of her. And that included her smoking body.

Sam just giggled and threw her tank-top near the couch with her coat and purse. "It's ok" she laughed, walking up to me and leaning against the kitchen counter. She was still only in her bra and jeans, making me go wild. "I'm your girlfriend. You can 'admire' me…" She did little air quotes on admire and deepened her voice to emphasize it.

I moved over in front of her, pressing the front of my body into hers as my hands stabled myself on the counter. "I love admiring the fact that you are mine and this is all for me" I cooed against her ear, my lips kissing from under her ear to down her neck. "I love you so much baby."

Sam's hands went back into my hair and started to stroke it. "I love you too, hun" she replied back, her hands cupping around my ears. "I didn't even know the true meaning of love until I met you."

I started kissing her neck and looked at her, her left hand softly caressing my cheek. "Neither did I" I confessed, staring right into her eyes. These were the moments I loved, where we talked about feelings and showed our love. Usually looking right into someone's eyes was awkward or uncomfortable, but Sam and I did it to show our love and be honest. "I am so happy I met someone like you who showed me what love really was. And I'm just so thankful you're finally here, right in my arms, like I always wanted." I slid my hands down to her waist to hold her, pulling her a little closer to me as I stared at her.

I watched at Sam blinked her eyes, trying to hold back tears. "You know…" she began, darting her eyes down and swallowing like she had something nerve-wracking to say. "I loved you before I met Drew" she spoke, her eyes connecting right back with mine. "I just went to him in the first place as an outlet since my feelings for you were growing stronger. I never loved Drew. I just made myself believe I did since I thought I wouldn't have a chance with you."

My lips parted slightly like I was about to speak. But I didn't. I was speechless. Sam was telling me flat out that she never loved the guy she dated for two years. She only did because she thought we would never be together. I really should have told her from the beginning my feelings for her. I gulped and licked my lips to speak, moving my hands up and down Sam's sides in comfort. The feeling of her soft skin under my hands drove me crazy, but this was a deep moment. "I loved you from the first day I met you" I told her, Sam's eyes widening slightly at my confession. "I felt this feeling inside of me when I saw you and talked to you, and now I just realized that those feelings were love. Pure love for the girl right in front of me right now. I didn't think I had a chance with you either, mostly because of Drew though. Are you saying you really didn't have feelings for Drew that whole time?" I had to clarify that point, to make sure I wasn't interpreting anything differently.

Sam sighed and closed her eyes, letting the water building up in the corner of her eyes seep out a little. She breathed in and played with her bottom lip. "Well, I grew to develop feelings for him. But nothing compared to the feelings I had for you. Since I thought I couldn't love you, Drew filled that hole in my heart for love. So eventually it turned into some feelings…"

I brought my hand up to Sam's arm, rubbing up and down slowly. My right hand rested over her hand on my face. "Well you don't have to worry about him. I'm here and will stay here forever with you. That can count on that."

A quick breath came from Sam's mouth, her eyes filling with water. "Good" she whispered, her hand playing with the hair right near my ear. "I need to know I can count on you. I need to know that we'll never lose the love between us. Because I don't want to regret this…"

That last sentence almost stopped me. What would she regret about this? I was about to ask her that when she spoke up for me. "I don't mean that I think I will, I just want to make sure. Because I was in this position before and it failed. I just need to know that you'll go easy on me since I've never been in love before really. Besides just you. This is all new to me, but I love the feelings I get. I just don't want to lose any of it and never get it back, that's all." A single tear slid down her cheek, causing for my thumb to brush over the tear-stained cheek and wipe away the sorrow.

I brought her hand down from my face and held it between mine. Both of her hands were together underneath mine, my hands holding onto them tenderly. "You can count on me, I promise" I promised to her, my eyes going down to her hands so my fingers could wrap around hers. "I will do anything for you, you know that. Love is new to me to, but I'm glad that I'm in love with you. You're making it seem all so right. You won't ever lose me. I'm here to stay, forever. I will go as easy and as slow as you want, anything to make you happy. Because I love you."

Sam let go of my hands and wrapped her arms around my back. "I love you too" she choked out, her head digging into my shoulder. We just stood there in my kitchen, my arms now around her waist and swaying slightly. It was so peaceful, knowing that only the two of us were here to love each other.

I kissed the top of her head and squeezed her tighter, my hands falling to her lower back. "Happy Valentine's Day" I whispered in her ear, rocking our bodies in my kitchen. This Valentine's Day was perfect. I knew I was never going to leave my girl, and I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I did. But I wasn't going to think about that. The only thing I was going to do was stand here and embrace the love of my life in my arms, thanking God for bringing this woman into my life and making her mine. Sam was all mine, and I wasn't planning on giving her up any time soon. Or ever, actually. I realized right then and there that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, no matter what.

WOW LONG CHAPTER! But did you like the romance here? Something a little softer for that day. I think after I started writing about the almost incident at Sam's house, I wanted to continue and show how much they really want each other. It's just hard because they have morals and promises to wait. But anyway, you don't know how long I have wanted to write twinkle toes in a story! This was back all the way to the seventh chapter that I wanted to. Just a little bit of the teasing Sam and James do, which I love! And yeah idk why, but I love James calling her babe. So sorry if you get sick of seeing it :/ I think it sounds hot coming from his mouth. ;)

Ok, quick question. Now I have all ideas typed out for the upcoming chapters until the last one, but actually each of the chapters is making me change my mind. Do you want drama with Drew, within Sam & James' relationship, or both? It would be greatly appreciated since next chapter is reflecting one of these, and I need to know where I should alter it and such for my readers. Thanks! :D
