A Walk to Eden

20

*Sam POV*

"What?" I stare at her. She looks down and sighs.

"I can't feel my hands Sam." She shakes her head. I walk over to her and kneel down.

"Do you need help?" I ask. She peeks up at me and nods.

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't need you to." She says.

"I know." By the look on her face I can tell she feels bad. I just don't know how I'm going to help her without making it weird. Does it have to be weird? No. "Alright. Lift your arms up." She lifts her arms and i slip the shirt off her.

Jesus. Christ. Her shirt falls to the floor and I quickly try not to stare. She's wearing an all white lacy bra with little pink roses. Get control of yourself Sam. I swallow hard. I slip a shirt of mine over her head and try and move her arms through the holes. A small giggle escapes from her. "What?" I ask.

"Nothing. It just tickles." I look up at her and her face is bright red. I finish getting the shirt on her and it's huge. The shirt swallows her. "Alrighty. Stand up." She stands and hold onto my shoulders. I unbutton her pants and before I can slip them down she stops me.

"Sam." She says. I look up at her and she looks worried.

"What's wrong?" I ask. She bites her lip.

"Please don't make fun of me." She whispers. Why would I make fun of her? Instead on digging into a conversation, I nod and slip her pants off. I stand up and walk over to my dresser and fold her clothes and put them on top of it.

I turn around and I feel wobbly. She's looking around my room, so she doesn't notice me. But I definitely notice her. What she said earlier about Eden's dad, I want to meet this man, and punch him in the face. My shirt goes down to a little above mid thigh. And her tanned legs are long, and she was right. Her thighs were thick. But that is nothing to complain about. I walk over to her and she looks up at me. She quickly looks down and hugs herself. "Nothing to be shy about." I say. I tuck a piece of hair behind her ear and smile at her. She looks at me and smiles back. "Let's get you to bed." She nods and i untuck the covers for her to climb into. She scoots all the way to the wall and I pull the covers over her. She looks at me confused.

"Are you not staying?" She asks.

"Did you want me to?" I ask back. She quickly looks away and back to me and nods. Oh boy. I nod and walk back to my dresser.

*Your POV*

Sam walks to his dresser and takes his shirt off. Woah. His back is lean, but toned. He tosses his shirt into a pile, and he turns around. His shorts hanging low on his waist, I realize that he's not just skinny. He's got lean muscle. When he walks you can see them more and they flex. And I can't stop from peeking down at a little. What was I doing? I quickly cover my head with the blankets. "What's wrong?" He asks. I peek my eyes out from under the covers.

"Your pretty." I whisper. He chuckles and shakes his head. He climbs into bed and lays next to me. I stare as he shifts to get comfortable and he closes his eyes and sigh.

"Goodnight." He says.

"Goodnight." I answer. Since my high was still there, it took no time to fall asleep.

A few hours later I wake up feeling warm air hit the back of my neck. I quickly realize where I am. Sam's bed. In Sam's room. With Sam. I feel his arm draped over my waist and he's holding me next to him. I haven't been this close to someone ever. Eden's dad never held me like this. It was nice. And then I realized that it was Sam. I feel my heart begin to beat faster and my cheeks get super hot. I feel sleep begin to tug at my eyes again. I focus on Sam's breathing and it lulled me back to sleep.

*Sam POV*

I wake up with the sun shining and the birds being annoying loud. I blink my eyes open and I'm met with a head full of dark hair. I look around and see her curled up in my arms. Chest rising and falling, I hear her breathing quietly. I feel her shift from under my arm which is wrapped around her. She turns and is now facing me still sleeping. I study her face. Long lashes laying softly on top on her freckled cheeks. Her lips looked soft. Oh to kiss her awake. She begins to stir again and i just watch her. She blinks awake and looks at me. She stares for a moment and smiles.

I knew from this moment, I want to see her wake up everyday. And I would never grow tired of it.
