After checking his phone numerous times that Sunday and Samuel prepared himself for church. He put on his best suit, styled his hair, and headed to church with his parents. It had been a while since he had seen some of the people in the church since he had been away in South Africa for some time. It was great to see familiar faces and catch up with friends.
After the service, Samuel and his parents stayed for some time to chat with the other church members. They talked about the sermon, the upcoming events, and other social topics. Samuel's parents were glad to see their son interacting with people and having a good time. Samuel enjoyed the conversations and felt happy to be back in his community.
As they left the church, Samuel took out his phone to check for any new messages. He was disappointed to see that Samantha hadn't replied to his last message. He didn't want to seem too pushy, so he decided not to call her but waited patiently for her to reply. He spent the rest of the day with his family, trying to put Samantha out of his mind, but it was difficult. He couldn't help thinking about her and the time they spent together.
When he got back home, he went to his room and checked his phone again, hoping for a reply from Samantha. But there was none. He felt a bit sad but decided to distract himself by reading a book. He picked up his favorite novel and started reading, trying to lose himself in the story.
As he read, his mind wandered to Samantha again. He couldn't help but think about her and what she was doing at that moment. He hoped she was thinking about him too. Samuel decided that he would wait for her to reply, but he didn't know how long he could hold out. He was starting to feel anxious about their relationship and wondered if she felt the same way he did.
Samuel put down the book and decided to take a nap. Maybe when he woke up, there would be a reply from Samantha. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, hoping that things would work out between them.
