Thanks for the reviews again! Ok, I am going to try and update in the morning from now on before I go to school. It seems less stressful and easier, so I have to type them up that night and all for the morning. But I'll get used to it! Oh yeah, Sunday's update might be later because I'm going to the movies with friends :D Oh, and I dropped my iPhone 4 in my kitchen sink and now it's screwed up… The music wouldn't play from the speakers (NO BTR :O), but it is now and I'm back to my BTR shuffle. The home button wouldn't work either, but that fixed up over night. MY screen is just whacked up with the water now, so but whatever. I'm just so glad I don't need a new phone! *fingers crossed*

Chapter 16: Love Me Love Me
SAM'S POV:
Valentine's Day was amazing for James and me. Ice skating was a new adventure for me and watching James fall right on his ass made my whole day! But then he was a big jerk and pulled me down with him. I was so proud that I didn't fall, but I guess I jinxed the whole thing. And then there was the short walk back through the park, which was comforting and cuddly. After that came dinner, which I ended up cooking mostly. But I was fine with that, though. James didn't want to burn down his kitchen, so I did it for him. Oh god, and then the brownies… That was so much fun! And messy… My tank-top got ruined. But James didn't seem to mind, especially when I took the dirty thing off. Typical boyfriend.
The best part of that day was the talk afterward. Even though I seemed sad, I knew I had to tell him the truth. Valentine's Day was the day to admit your deepest feelings to the one you loved, and I did that exact thing. I still wasn't able to tell him about the Drew situation, but I was warming up to it. It was a lot to take in, but I'm just glad my special day with James wasn't interrupted. I told James the deepest secret I had, and he said he would stay with me forever. He was James, my best friend and boyfriend, so I knew I could trust him. He said he would go easy on me and do anything, which made me enjoy every minute I had with him. Who cared if I was only in my bra and jeans, the true thoughts and meanings were there.
I stayed that night at James' place, mostly because I had to help him clean up. The brownie mix got everywhere, so we spent hours cleaning it yup. But the time we were done, it was almost 10:00 PM. James told me it was dangerous to drive late and wanted me to stay with him since it was Valentine's Day. I gladly accepted, curious as to what would happen. He offered me pajamas, but I didn't want them. He changed into his boxers, while I took of my jeans to sleep in my bra and panties. I could tell you one thing, James was a little surprised by my action. He wouldn't stop staring at me, but I didn't mind. That night, we slept in each others' arms, James wrapped around me from behind and squeezing me close to his chest. It was so peaceful. That entire night, I dreamt nothing but happy thoughts. No bad nightmares about Drew, not a single memory of him in the past. My dreams were flooded with all the love my boyfriend gave me, and that was perfectly comfortable.
That morning, I woke up before James. He was sleeping soundly on his side of the bed, his mouth wide open but not a single snore coming out. The covers were half draped across his body, his chest mostly exposed. My boyfriend looked amazing, making me remember the whole night with him. Just the fact that I was with him while we slept made our connection stronger. That was the first time we did that, and sex wasn't even in the picture. I knew then I could trust James about waiting just as much as me. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to rush. If just a simple action like that stopped my racing thoughts, then I didn't need anything else.
Deciding that I should make James breakfast, I snuck out of the grip of right arm and got up. Searching through his draws, I found one of his t-shirts and threw it on. Then I went into the kitchen and began to prepare eggs and toast. He always enjoyed the meal, and I could make something for myself along the way.
At about 8 AM, I heard James shuffle out into the kitchen. I turned around to see him rubbing his eyes, still only in his boxers. His hair was messed up by tossing and turning in his bed, and a small amount of stubble was growing on his chin. He looked so freaking sexy. "Good morning babe" James said groggily, walking over to me to grab around my waist. I guess he noticed my outfit because he bent down to my ear and whispered "You look so good in my shirt. You know that, right?"
I put down the spatula and faced him. "I thought you'd like" I purred at him, my hands sliding down his chest. "How does eggs and toast sound for breakfast?"
He titled his head to look at the cooking meal and then looked right back at me. "Pretty good" he replied, nodding his head. "But I think you would be much better…" James pushed my hair to the side and began nibbling on my neck.
I started giggling, twitching underneath the touch of James' lips. "Not now, Maslow!" I squealed as he kissed right in the curve of my neck, the one special sensitive spot I had. My hands went to push his chest back as I sarcastically asked "Do you want me to burn your breakfast?"
James continued to kiss my neck, making his way to my shoulders. "As long as you don't burn down the house" his lips mumbled against my shoulder. He was pushing closer to me, my back leaning against the stove-top.
"If you keep pressing me into the stove, I'll burn myself!" I expressed, my hands going behind me to grasp the counter to make sure I wasn't going to touch the pan.
He immediately stopped kissing me and backed up, pulling my waist with him away from the stove. "Sorry babe" he apologized, bringing his hand up to my face to brush a single strand away. "But you wearing my shirt is driving me nuts!"
I laughed and turned around to handle the eggs, thankful that they didn't burn. "It's ok" I said, flipping the eggs. "The eggs are saved!" I giggled out. After inspecting the eggs, I decided that they were done. So I turned off the stove and put them on the plate. The toast just popped up to, revealing two perfectly brown pieces of bread. "Lucky for you, everything is ready in time" I teased, bringing the plate to the table. "Now you can eat your meal instead of biting me!"
James sat down at the table as I put down his glass of orange juice. "But I enjoyed being a vampire!" he pouted, pushing his chair in more. I just rolled my eyes and leaned against the counter, watching my guy eat the meal I prepared for him. James was about to take a bite when he put the fork down and looked at me. "Are you going to eat, Sam? I can't eat this if you're not having anything!"
"Yeah, I already ate" I answered, walking up James who was gesturing for me. I was about to take the seat next him when he patted his lap. So I sat on his lap as he wrapped his left arm around my waist. "How are you going to eat now?" I chuckled, realizing I was blocking the plate.
"I'll find a way." James leaned slightly to the right and brought the fork to his mouth, chewing a bite of my food and swallowing. "See? I can eat with you in my lap. I just want you with me." He took another bite and squeezed me tighter, his hand rubbing my left leg slightly. Then he wiped his mouth and kissed the corner of my neck again, making me jolt in pleasure.
I brought my hands up to my neck and tried to playfully bat him away from my neck, giggling and smirking in his lap. "If you keep doing that, I'll have hickeys everywhere!" I pointed out, moaning slightly when he hit my sensitive spot.
"Then everyone would know you're mine!" James insisted, continuing to nip at my neck playfully.
"But I don't want them to know you're mine" I snickered back, a small grin coming onto my face. "I don't want your mark left on me…" Finally I could tease him again.
James' lips went from my neck to my shoulder again, kissing down to the curve on my arm. "Come on, I know you love me" he murmured on my shoulder. "Say that you love me. Tell me you love me!" He poked my stomach, trying to get me to give up to him. I was very ticklish there, so I started squirming on his lap.
"Don't do it!" I shrieked, my voice on the verge of laughter. James just shook his head no and continued to kiss and tickle me. After a few minutes of me begging him to stop, I finally caved in. "Alright alright! I love you! Now STOP TICKLING ME!"
The feeling of his lips was removed from my shoulder, only be replaced by the feeling now on my lips. He tenderly kissed me, the taste of the orange juice I gave him traveling onto my lips. "Thank you, thank you!" he bragged, laughing at my pouting face. "Aw, I love you too" he told me, embracing me in a deep hug. I spun around on his lap and straddled him to give him a deep hug. His face looked surprised, but then he relaxed in my arms. That was another one of our picture perfect moments.
The next two weeks were coming and going. Not too fast, but not too slow. I was finally catching up to the paperwork in my office, sorting each of the accounts and distributing the money between each. James and I were going great, him telling me that these were the best two months of his life so far. I loved these past two months too, with James. But the whole Drew thing made things difficult. So these past months were great relationship wise, but not with Drew. At least the studio recording was dying down a little, allowing me to be by James more and feel protected.
The last Saturday in February, I was coming back from spending time with James at his house. It was about 11:30 PM. He told me he didn't want me driving out this late because something bad could happen, but I had persuaded him enough to let me be. I told him I would call him as soon as I got home.
After pulling into my drive way, I walked up to my front door and dug out the keys. Sliding the key into the lock, I was about to turn the doorknob when the door pushed open. I didn't even need to turn the key, making me think if I ever locked or shut my door. I remembered doing it, texting James right after saying that I locked up and was on my way. But maybe I didn't close it all the way, so the lock didn't line up.
I stepped into my house, a tense and eerie feeling taking over my body. I felt out of place, like something bad was going to happen. Stepping inside, I shut the door and went over to my coat rack. After taking off my coat, I reached over to it up. But then I paused, hearing the creak of a floorboard. Were my ears playing me? No one but me was in this house. I didn't even own any pets. Maybe it was my heater? I wanted to believe myself, but deep down I knew something was wrong.
Once my coat was on the hanger, I turned around to come face to face with Drew inside my own house. His piercing blue eyes were standing out from the pitch black surroundings. I could his white face right in front of mine, a sneaky crooked smile forming over his mouth. Just as I was about to scream, his hand came up to my mouth, spinning me around and grabbing me from behind. "Sh, no need to scream. Nice to see you, Samantha" he spoke in that icy cold tone as he stroked my face with his open hand.
A single tear slid down my face, absolutely terrified about him being in my house. How did he get in? He was a locksmith, so he probably picked my own lock. That asshole was so desperate for me that he actually broke into my house. Drew left that tear on my face alone and dragged me to the middle of my living room, where I couldn't see anything. "Don't be scared, my sweet sweet Samantha" he coaxed me, adjusting his grip on me so my arms were locked in between his. "All you have to do is say that you love me, and then I'll let you go. You know you do, so just tell it to me."
My eyes shut, praying to God that he wouldn't do anything to me. I tried kicking my legs, but he clasped them around his own and wouldn't let me move. I began to mumble, trying to beg him to let me go and leave me alone. But all he kept responding with was "Three words, Samantha. I love you. That's all you need to say for me to let you go." Never had been so scared in my life. The way he spoke my name just sent chills down my spine. It was like I was the best piece of meat, and he was smooth talking his meal before eating it.
After a few minutes of struggling and trying to escape Drew's grip, I realized something. The top of Drew's hand was covering my mouth, his fingers just touching my lips. That gave me enough room to poke my teeth out if I stretched my jaw. So I decided to act on that. Opening my mouth, I bit hard on Drew's hand, causing him to swear and let go of me in pain. I tried to stand up, but my legs felt so weak from kicking and flailing all over the place. Using my hands and knees, I tried to feel my way around and crawl away, since I dropped my phone in the middle of my fight. But then I felt on hand on my leg, dragging me back to the area Drew was standing. "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" he screamed, yanking me up off the ground and holding me by the front of my shirt. "How dare you bite the one you love? You'll regret that!"
"I regret ever meeting you in the first place" I spat back at him, earning me a slap right across my face that made me fall to the floor.
I felt Drew kick me in the stomach, pushing my legs off of his feet. "Don't you EVER say that to me again!" he yelled, stepping right over me and smashing my phone on the side. "You will regret biting me. I will come after you, your little boyfriend, and everyone else important in your life. You better watch you back, Samantha. Because the next time I see, I WILL make you mine. Even if I have to kill along the way, you will be in my arms again." He grabbed his jacket from who knows where and laughed evilly, bending down right next my ear to whisper to me. "And if you ever call the cops, you'll be the first to go. And then your loving boyfriend too." I heard him walk away, open my door, and pause a second to say "Sweet dreams, Samantha." And with that, he was gone.
My heart was pumping so loud and fast, horrified by what Drew said. He actually threatened my life and everyone elses, making this a serious issue. I was torn. I loved James, but I felt forced to love Drew to save everyone. I knew I had to make a decision and a fast one too. Because I had to save everyone I loved. Even if that meant getting back with my ex.
Sorry if this seem rushed. And if there are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. I didn't know I would be out that long, so this wasn't updated until now! But I hope you all understand how the title connected to this. James wanted to hear "I love you" from Sam, and Drew wants Sam to love him. Well, I gotta go type chapter 17 for you, but review and all! Love you!
