Someone Like You

In My Feelings

Samantha stood outside of her bedroom with her arms folded and eyebrows raised. She walked to the kitchen purposely slamming things so that they could wake up. "Ow..." Geffri squeezed her eyes shut. "Make it stop" Daniel grunted. Samantha slammed some more things "What is Geffri doing?" He mumbled. "I am Geffri" she said. "What?" They both opened their eyes and jumped off the couch. "What the—" Daniel was confused. "Good—Fucking—Morning" Samantha clapped her hands. "Please stop" Daniel placed his hand against his head. "What? Something wrong baby? Last night must've been fun since you two slept together" she came out of the kitchen. "We didn't sleep together" he rubbed his head. "Uh, she was laying on top of you, you had your arms around her. So, yeah, you slept together" Samantha told him. "Oh God, Sam I am sorry let me explain..." Geffri trailed off. "No, you can't explain this. Don't even try" she told her. "You're right.. I can't explain this. I don't remember last night. It's a huge blur. Really though, I am sorry. I don't know why I was laying on top of him. I swear, I don't like him like that. He's just a friend and I hope you know I would never do anything to hurt you" she told Samantha. "Who said I'm hurt?" Of course Sam was upset with the both of them. But she also knew they were drunk and didn't know right from wrong. Still didn't excuse the fact that they could've done something outside of her bedroom. Samantha took a deep breath. "It's fine" they were both confused. "Wait, what?" Geffri expected her to be mad. "You was drunk. Not like you two had sex or anything" she said. "So you're not mad?" Samantha shook her head. She didn't want Geffri to feel terrible. It was bad enough that Michael brought some girl to the hangout to rub it in her face. She didn't want to go hard on her. "No. Like I said, you both were drunk" she shrugged. "I'll make you coffee for the hangovers" she stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Samantha knew Geffri couldn't leave right away. She had a terrible hangover. She decided to make them some coffee. Daniel tried to keep his distance from Geffri. It was awkward between the 3 of them. Samantha was in her bedroom. Daniel was in the living room. Geffri was in the kitchen. She finished her coffee, she placed it in the sink. "I'm about to head out, apologize to Sam for me?" Daniel nodded. She grabbed her things and headed for the door. After leaving, Daniel finished his coffee and then placed his cup in the sink. He walked to Samantha's bedroom. "Can we talk about last night?" Even though she told Geffri she wasn't upset, Daniel was was lying. "Which part? Let me see.. the headache you both gave me? Drinking outrageously and being obnoxious? You eating all my damn ice cream? Letting Geffri sit and grind on your lap? Allowing her to sleep on top of you?" He sighed not realizing it was that bad. "Sam I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was that bad. I don't know what happened" he said to her. "Do you have feelings for her?" That question was taken by surprise. "What?" She asked him again "Do you have feelings for Geffri?" Daniel was a little disappointed that she would even ask him that. "Of course not. Baby, you know I don't want anyone but you" he said to her. "After last night and seeing you sleeping together, I don't know what's true and what's not anymore" he was silent. "Put yourself in my shoes. How would you feel if I was sleeping on top of Michael? Spence? or even "Da'Vinchi?" She could tell that made him uncomfortable. "You wouldn't like it. You would be upset. So why should I be okay with this?" She felt tears well up. "Sam, I was drunk. Why are you being hard on me when you weren't even hard on Geffri?" Daniel didn't understand why. Samantha was calmer and understandable towards Geffri but was coming at him strong.

"Because you're my fucking boyfriend" she threw her pillow at him. "Seeing you two like that hurt me, Daniel. It felt like getting cheated on" she looked down with a few tears escaping her eyes. "But I had to stay strong because I didn't want her to feel horrible" he walked over to her, sitting down on the side of the bed. "But I can't be calm towards you because you're my boyfriend. You need to realize what I saw this morning wasn't okay. It broke my heart. And I get it.. you were both drunk but, it didn't make me feel good at all. I had a horrible night because you two were being obnoxious and was hoping to have a good morning but seeing that hurt me" he looked over his shoulder at her before looking down. "I fear that I'm not enough. That one day you will realize you want something more and there won't be anything that I could do about it" he looked back over his shoulder seeing her begin to cry harder. "Baby..." he climbed over, giving her a hug. She squeezed him "If I'm not enough then baby tell me...." she trailed off. "You're more than enough for me" he rubbed her back but she pulled away. "Sorry but I don't believe you" she wiped her eyes before getting out of bed. "My anxiety is going crazy right now and I just can't lose you—" Daniel stood up and hugged her "—I just can't. I don't feel enough" she cried into his chest. "You're more than enough" he told her. He felt awful for making her feel so little because he chose to drink more than he should have.

With that being said, after there "talk" Samantha took a nap because she was so exhausted and Daniel snuck out to buy her more ice cream. When he got back, he placed the ice cream in the freezer. He walked into the bedroom to find that she had started her menstrual cycle. She bleed through her underwear and his shorts that she was wearing. He found her some clothes, placing them in the bathroom. He ran her a warm bubble bath. He then set up some candles to lighten the mood for her. He turned on some Kenny G and left the bathroom to wake her up. "Baby?" He was seated on the side of the bed, rubbing her shoulder. "What?" She mumbled. "I need to wash your sheets and underwear. You bleed through" she instantly opened her eyes and looked down. "Oh God.." she felt embarrassed. "Baby, don't feel embarrassed. I got your bubble bath ready and clothes set up in the bathroom" he told her. "I'm sorry baby.." she looked down. He placed his finger underneath her chin, she looked up with tears welled up in her eyes. "You have nothing to be sorry about" he kissed her softly. Daniel stood up and held his hand out, she took it before standing up. He kissed her again before leading her to the bathroom. "I'll wash the clothes and sheets. Just enjoy the bath" he told her. "Okay..." she told him still feeling embarrassed.

After washing her clothes, Daniel walked back in the bathroom seeing that she was still feeling embarrassed. He sat down with his back against the bathtub. She placed her hand on his, gently massaging it. "Thank you for this, baby" a smile formed on his face. "Anytime. It's my job to take care of my girl. Besides, it's the least I can do for making you sad" he said to her. "I think the cramps had me acting a little different but yeah, I was sad. I get it Daniel, you both were drunk but my anxiety and depression makes me feel like I'm not enough automatically. I don't need something like one of my close friend sleeping on top of my boyfriend to prove them right" he sat and listened while she spoke. "I love you and even though you remind me every day that I'm enough, my mental health tries to tell me otherwise. This is who I am. I might sound like a bitch but I just can't help it...." she continued to massage his head. "Baby, I know what I signed up for. As long as you're willing to trust me and to be patient with me instead of jumping to conclusions when you're anxiety is toying with your feelings, we will be alright." After her bath Daniel was making her a bowl of ice cream. She came out of the bedroom, fully dressed in the clothes he set up for her. "What are you doing?" He walked up to her with the bowl of ice cream. "Sorry for eating up your ice cream. I went and bought you more while you were sleeping" he told her. A smile formed on her face, she took the bowl before kissing him. "I love you and again, thank you for this" she rubbed her thumb against his lips, smiling. She took a scoop on her spoon, putting it in his mouth. She did the same for herself, she turned around so that he could wrap his arms around her from behind. She leaned against his chest, listening to the music.
