Chapter 27

Do you know what it feels like to have someone who just gets you and speaks the same 'language of life' you do?

It is THE best feeling in the world.

Sam is the best. He is not just smart, hot, and kind but also has a great sense of responsibility that I admire about him.

Working with him on the game has been the highlight of my entire life. I have never felt so sure and so confident in my abilities as I did when I worked on the game with him.

Working with Sam has brought us so much closer and I'm even more in awe of my boyfriend.

Honestly, I still can't get used to calling him that.

I'm currently standing in front of his class, waiting for him because his class is about to end. I've missed him so much - we've been apart for five days because he had to go home to work on something for his father, and even though we made sure to talk every night, because he was busy during the day, on the phone, it wasn't enough.

I miss watching him grin as he watched something funny or just as I make lame jokes.  I miss how we usually challenge each other to tasks. I miss how, when we argued sometimes, he would randomly place his head on my lap and I would be tempted to run my hand through his silky hair, which would usually mean the end of our argument. I miss how he would walk up to me while I was working or doing dishes and kiss me. And when I asked, "What was that for?" after the sweet kiss, he just kissed me again and held on to me.

These small and sweet gestures are my favourite things about him.

I miss his hugs; The way he would place his large arms around me and how, like two weeks ago, I was feeling down for not qualifying in a contest, he spent the whole day with me, holding me and then later taking me to an amusement park to get my groove back on.

I'm happy that we have similar interests and ideas for fun. I love how we can both be hardworking, and then, the next day, we could choose to stay in bed all day, doing nothing.

I love that I feel so comfortable talking to him about anything and I love that though some topics are super touchy for him to discuss, like his ill relationship with his father,  he shares as much as he can with me. 

My heart beats so fast just at the thought of him and when he's near, I always feel as though my heart will burst out of my chest.

It's been over a year but it feels new everyday. When I don't think I can like him even more, my heartbeat skyrockets and I know that I have fallen for him even more.

I gasped lightly when I felt someone drag my hand but as soon as the familiar scent enveloped me, I smiled.

"Hey." Unable to hide my happiness, I grinned at my handsome boyfriend.

"Hey." He replied, giving me a boyish smile. Then suddenly, he pulled me incredibly close to him.  I tried to pull away, blushing but he wouldn't let me. So I looked around to see if anyone was coming.

"What are you doing, Sam? People are staring." I said in between short laughs.

"Let them." He said, and pulled me in his arms, kissing me and caressing my waist.

Feeling giddy with emotions, I responded with equal fervor. I ran my hands from his chest to the back of his head, and I heard people make sounds from afar.

When we finally pulled away, we walked together, hand in hand, as he led me towards his car.

After opening the car door and shutting it after I netted, he went around and entered the car through the driver's side. Once he locked the door, he pulled me in for a kiss again.
