If Not For You

Chapter 13- Never

Sam's POV

I woke up to a noise coming from the bathroom. I sat up in bed and glanced over towards the bathroom, the door was open and I could see Maeves reflection in the mirror. She stood there only wearing a bra and panties. She must have seen the movement in the reflection when I sat up because her eyes met mine through the mirror. She smirked before closing the door. I waited a moment before getting up and walking over.

"What are you doing?" I shouted through the door,

"Blow drying my clothes so I can head home," She said as she opened the door, she now had a shirt on, but still no pants.

"Maeve." I said as I quickly turned around

"What," She giggled,

"Why are you always half naked." I laughed

"You can look, I don't mind." She said nonchalantly

"No, I can't look. Not without wanting more." I said as I walked back towards the room.

"Sorry," she said as she shut the door back. "I do have to head back soon though because Frankie has to work later."

"Do you want breakfast before you go?" I shouted as I started to change,

"No, I think I'm good." She said stepping out of the bathroom, now fully clothed. I however was in the middle of changing my boxers. I quickly slid on the pair in my hands, and grabbed a pair of pants, I could hear Maeve giggling behind me,

"What" I asked as I turned around with my hands on my hips,

"Nothing," She grinned as she walked past me to her bag, I decided to let it go.

"So I have a question." I said, she froze and turned around,

"Oh yeah?" She said shyly walking and standing close to me,

"I was wondering what you are doing tonight." I smiled softly, my heart beating faster as I watched her start to smile, her cheeks blushing. When I first met her she was so intimidating and had this hard exterior she put off. The more I was around her the softer she became, and it made me feel like she was comfortable with me, which made me happy.

"Nothing yet, why do you ask," she asked looking up at me,

"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me on a date tonight." I said as I brushed my fingers against her hand,

"Me?" She said as she dramatically gasped, "Going on a date with THE Sam Kiszka?" She said playfully

"Oh shut up," I said as I poked at her side, causing her to laugh and swat my hand away, "Yes or no Maeve."

"Yes, of course." She said as she kissed me on the cheek, smiling when she pulled away. "But right now I have to go," She made her way over to the door, when she stepped out she ran into Josh,

"Oh my apologies Maeve," He said as he steadied her helmet in her hands. "Leaving this early?" He asked

"I am, I gotta get back home, I have a hot date tonight." She turned and winked at me as I shook my head,

"Bye Maeve." I said as I waved,

"Bye Josh, See you later Sammy," She disappeared from the doorway.

"So I guess you are the hot date?" Josh said as he stepped in the room

"Yeah" I said as I started to pack my bag

"Where are you going to take her?" He asked

"I honestly have no idea, I was up most of the night trying to think of something, but nothing seems good enough for her." I sighed
