What Happens Next?

Chapter 8: The surprise of my life

It's a fresh new day. I think as I slowly open my eye's. Then I realize that i'm not in my usual purple room.Then it hit me everything came flooding back. I whipped out my phone and started to text Seth. Then I heard a faint knock at my door "Hey you awake." a voice called from the hallway. To my surprise I actually got up and walked over to the door."Yeah I just got up." The door opened and he stepped in "Well my son is in the living room waiting to meet you he said that you guys where friends and that you go to the same school." The news shocked me. He went to school with me. Well that kind of explained the familiar look of this guys face. "I never got your name." I said as he led me to the living room."My name's Tom. I guess I forgot to tell you I was just so excited to finally have you here." That was surprising but before I could say anything else we walked into the living room.

"Hi Samantha." said a voice I will never forget. I had to fight the urge to hug him. "Hello Seth is it?" We both knew that if his dad figured out that we where dating he would separate us and have me leave. I don't know what else could be so surprising. We all sat down and talked about the rules and when our curfew was. We also discussed on when we eat lunch and stuff.The whole time I couldn't pay attention. I just stared at Seth. I mean we get to live together now what could be better. I was over joyed. Seth's dad brought my attention back by saying that I could go to the same school as Seth or go to the school in town . "If you don't mind i'd like to go to school with Seth." "Oh it's no problem actually less work for me no stupid school forms. I also think it's a great idea for you to continue going to your old school. At least then not everything will be new." He said. Getting out of his chair he moved over to the kitchen. The kitchen had marble counters and really nice wood cabinets that would make my aunt cry. My aunt is an interior designer. As I looked around I realized that I hadn't really taken in my surroundings . almost as if speaking my mind Tom said" Seth, why don't you take Samantha on a tour." "Sure" Seth said still looking a little to excited.

As soon as we where out of ear shot we both started talking at once. He led me to what looked like an old barn. I guess that fit because we where out in the middle of nowhere it needed a fresh coat of paint and could use a little cleaning. "This is so crazy I can't believe your actually living with us ." He said with a mischievous grin. He pulled down a ladder and helped me up. At the top there was a little balcony with blankets and pillows. When we sat down and faced the other side of the barn there was a huge clear window. It overlooked the whole farm. It was beautiful. "This is where I come when I have a lot on my mind." He said softly as he took a seat next to me. "Mind if I steal it?" I asked."Use it whenever you want bug." It felt nice to be called bug I haven't been called bug in at least a year. Basically since my dad left. Seth scooched closer and kissed me on the forehead.

I dont know how long we sat there it seemed like forever. He finally peeled away "We might as well actually take a tour." He smiled and reached a hand down to me. I accepted it and he pulled me up and into a feirce hug and i couldn't help but laugh. My whole body was touching his. I felt heat rush through my body. It was over to quickly. He pulled away first and grinned down at me. He took my elbow in his and escorted my down the ladder and out the barn.

We walked back to the house. First he showed me the kitchen which  I had noticed earlier. Then he showed me my room.It was mainly pink. pink sheet's, pink curtains, pink , pink, and more pink. "Well it's pink." I said as I moved to my closet. Everything was hung up color coded. My closet was big it was the size of a walk in closet. It was nice. "Oh uh I kinda came in here while you where sleeping and set everything up. I color coded your close and your shoes are lined down there on that shelf. I also went to your moms house and got the rest of your stuff and brought it here and kinda set this room up like your old one just more pink."He chuckled as he said the word pink mainly because I really dont like pink. "I uh hope that was ok." I was so shocked that he would do that for me. I couldn't move my lips to respond.Finally I pulled him into a hug and wispered a small"Thank you." In his ear. He laughed and pulled me in closer.

"No problem bug." He wispered in return. God knows I didn't deserve him. He walked me out to the living room and we sat on the leather couch and turned on the tv. "Hey you never showed me your room." I said with a hint of flirtation in my tone."Thats because my room is connected with yours.It just so happens that we share a closet." "Oh really and what color is your room we might just have to switch the pink makes me uncomfortable."

"You just want to see me in pink. But anything for you bug." He said while wrapping his arms around me."Wait, where's your dad?"

"He's at work he's usually never at home."

"What about your mom?" I asked

"She is in Africa volunteering with the little kids.''

"When will she be back"

"Not for a couple weeks."

"Oh what do you do while there gone"

"Usually I come and talk to you."

"That would make since." I kissed him and we layed down to watch the movie playing. Which happened to be my favorite movie , "When in Rome". I turned around to face him and he stroked my hair."Thank you for always being there." "Anything for you Bug." With those last words I fell asleep curled up in his arms while he stroked my hair and wispered sweet nothings in my ear.
