Someone Like You

Make It Last Forever

Daniel made a snarl, seeing the paparazzi snapping pictures from where they were filming the Homecoming episode. "God, those guys are annoying" Geffri mumbled. "Tell me about it. I guess we really made it, for them to be snapping photos of us" Michael said to her. Samantha stood close to Daniel but not to close. They didn't want any speculations. They are both private people when it comes to their personal life. They didn't want them to be nosey. "Hey guys, y'all shooting for All American" one of the paparazzi men asked. "Should we respond?" Michael wasn't sure. This never really happened to them as much. "I say no" Geffri told him. "Are Spencer and Olivia together" another one asked. Both Samantha and Daniel ignored them. "Just gonna have to find out on Mondays at 7pm buddy" Michael told him. "Common sense" Daniel mumbled sarcastically. Samantha giggled at his sarcasm "Smart ass" he chuckled. "But you love this smart ass" he smirked. "Yeah, a little too much" she looked over at him smiling. "You guys would be cute together" both Samantha and Daniel cleared their throats before walking further away from each other.

Fans of the show were walking up to them, asking for their autographs. "No way. I can't believe you're on our campus. I love Olivia and Spencer" they all thought the fans were too cute. "Thank you so much, I appreciate the love" Samantha signed her signature before posing with some fans. Daniel wasn't up for all the pictures and stuff. His introvert was truly showing. "You good man" Michael asked Daniel who wasn't feeling this. "Bro, the paparazzi is driving me crazy" he said. Samantha was the most outgoing one next to Michael when it came to the paparazzi and the fans. Geffri didn't mind the fans but it was getting a little overwhelming. "I'm starving" Daniel said out loud. "No, you're hungry. Homeless people are starving" he glared over at her "now look who's being a smart ass" she smirked "but you love me" she mocked him.

They decided to get some food at a near coffee shop. Samantha was pulling out her card to pay but he stopped her. "Put that away. I'm paying" Daniel told her. "Why can't I pay?" Michael did the same thing to Geffri "Yeah, why can't we pay for our own selves?" Both women crossed their arms "I'm just trying to be nice" Michael told Geffri. "And you know how I was raised. I pay for my girl, besides you pay me by loving me" a smile formed on her face when he said that. Daniel paid for their coffee and breakfast sandwiches before they all found a table to sit at. "So, do you think fans will watch the crossover?" Geffri was curious. "Not to sound like an asshole but, anything that involves Spelivia, fans will watch" Michael told her. "Yeah.. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't blame them. You both have incredible chemistry, the fact that your chemistry off screen is more powerful is what gets me" Geffri told her friends. "But don't let the mushy stuff fool you. Like all couples, we do fight" Samantha told Michael and Geffri. "Y'all fight over sex. Come on, that's only to spice things up" Michael chuckled. "I think you're right, Daniel here ate my ass—" Michael started laughing "Whoa! They don't need to hear that" Daniel looked at Samantha seeing how Michael couldn't control his laughter. "TMI.. but damn Daniel, you just had to get a snack" Geffri told him. "More like a meal" Samantha tucked her lips in with her eyebrows raised before laughing. "So, Bro if you don't mind me asking how was it" Samantha turned extremely red from blushing. "Why do you wanna know that? That's your sister for crying out loud" Geffri looked at Michael. "I'm just curious" he chuckled. "It was finger licking good" they all laughed. "Y'all nasty" Michael shook his head while laughing.

After brunch, they were heading back to campus where a live band was being played. "Oh snaps, they're about to have me dancing up in here" Samantha took off running. "Well then..." Daniel trailed off. "Bro, you know your girl is a dancer. The moment she hears music, she's dancing" he said. "Like your girl" Michael realized that Geffri was gone. "Damn. And she's not my girl" Daniel rolled his eyes. "Here you go" Daniel shook his head. "Here I go, what? We are just friends. Not everyone can be like you and Samantha" Daniel looked over at him "What? In love? I see the way you look at her. I see the way she looks at you. Why are y'all stalling?" Michael was silent. "I'm not stalling, I don't like her in that way. Just let it go bro..." Michael started walking ahead. "Aight, I'll let it go but don't come running to me when someone else is giving her what you could be" he followed behind.

The girls were dancing on campus to the music. Geffri tried to teach Sam some moves and vice versa. Michael recorded them for a bit. Then Sam went out on the field, dancing alone. "Get it Sam" Daniel yelled out, encouraging his girl while recording her. "Why don't you go out and dance with your girl" Geffri insisted. "In front of everybody? No thanks" Geffri giggled. "God, you are a huge introvert" he shrugged "I am who I am" he told her. "How do you make it work. With her being an extrovert and you being an introvert?" Geffri was curious. "Well Sam, she could be a bit introverted depending on the situation but she is definitely an extrovert for the most part. But we make it work because we understand each other. We don't try to judge each other for what we like and dislike. That's how it should be" he looked at her dancing "I love enjoying her having fun, being her true self. If we were alone I would join in but because there's people watching I just couldn't... But I enjoy watching her live her best life" a smile formed on his lips seeing her. "You're so in love with her" he looked at Geffri. "Like you're in love with Michael" she looked away. "What is it with you two? Is it where you're friends but do for each other like.. satisfy each other's needs when you want to?" Daniel did not know the actual word to use because of where he's from. "You mean friends with benefits?" He nodded. "We're just cool people" Geffri told him. "I thought you liked each other more than friends" she sighed. "Well.. I like him but, Michael doesn't want to date me" she shrugged. Daniel was confused. "Did he say why?" She stood up from the bench they were seated on. "No and I honestly don't care anymore" she walked off to Sam.

After filming a little, they were back at the hotel that night. Daniel couldn't stop thinking about his conversation with Geffri. Samantha stood on her knees behind him on the bed "What's bothering you?" She began to massage his shoulders. "When you were dancing— great moves by the way" she smiled as he continued "But when you were dancing, I was talking to Geffri. She was encouraging me to dance with you and stuff. She realized how much of an introvert I am. She then asked how do we make it work since you're both but mostly an extrovert. I told her we understand each other and respects one another likes and dislikes. So I asked her about her and Michael" Samantha continued to massage his shoulders. She could feel he was a little tensed. "She basically likes him and wants to be more than friends but Michael wants more of a.." he started to snap his fingers trying to remember the word. "Friends with Benefits?" He nodded "Yes, friends with benefits. Like, I felt bad babe. Geffri really likes him but he just wants to do whatever he wants with her when he's in the mood but doesn't want her fully? That ain't right" she slowly kissed down on his shoulder before sitting down with her legs on each side of his. She wrapped her arms around him from behind before resting her head against his back. "I tried to hook them up like how they were trying to hook us up but I guess I failed" he sighed. "Babe, it's okay. I mean, I love both Michael and Geffri but.. they're not us. We are different because we made it obvious, we made it known that we want to be with each other. Neither one of us wanting a one-sided relationship. That's not how we are, we are pretty much the same person with so many similarities" she said to her man. "I just want them to be happy" he told her. "I do too but, obviously, Michael doesn't want happiness with her and we can't force that. Geffri will find somebody. She's young, beautiful, smart, what man wouldn't want her?" Daniel raised his hand "Babe!" He chuckled "What? I don't want her because you are all I want" she pushed his head before smiling and squeezing him. "Ugh, I hate when you're so mushy because then I get butterflies" he chuckled. "That's a good thing, right?" She kissed his back "definitely a good thing... besides, I get butterflies just by looking at you" she told him. "So it's a..." he imitated her voice "'I get butterflies when I'm in Daniel's presence' kind of thing?" She laughed "Yes but I do not sound like that" she giggled. "Yes you do" he dragged her voice out with her laughing "Stop that" he laughed, placing his hands on top of hers which was rested against his abdomen. "I'm glad things aren't complicated between us. To be able to do this, just sit here, talk, hold each other, this is all I truly need. The fact that most people don't experience this is sad" he told her. "Yeah but, If you're not happy in a relationship then you shouldn't be in it. I feel like a lot of people they just settle. And I will speak for myself, I did settle but look at me now. I am more than happy. I feel like I am on top of the world. This amount of happiness I never thought, existed. And I thank you so much for that because I love this feeling. And I want it to last forever" she said to him. "It will definitely last for ever" he looked over his shoulder, she leaned in, kissing him.
