Life Changing

Chapter 24

Sam woke up the next morning. When he opened his eyes Emily wasn't next to him but he could smell coffee brewing. He got up and dressed. He went out into the living room and saw Emily in the kitchen.

"Morning." He said going into the kitchen.

"Morning." "Coffee?"

"Please." Emily gave him the coffee sat down in the chair next to him. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"There appears to be a pattern forming here." Sam said.

"The one where we get carried away and act like a couple of horny teenagers?"

"That would be the one." "I say we make a new rule." "No more sex." "We obviously need to learn self control." "We're friends, friends don't have sex."

"I like that rule."

"We could've gotten in a lot of trouble if we would've got caught doing it in the limo last night."

"I wonder who started that." She said sarcastically smiling at Sam.

"I don't remember."

"Of course you don't."

"You weren't exactly complaining from what I remember." He said smiling. He took a sip of his coffee.

"Stop." She said smiling.

"I don't remember you saying that last night either." He laughed.

"Sam." She said laughing.

"Seriously though, I'm glad we can make a mistake and still laugh about it." "Not that it wasn't...

"Yeah."

"Both times."

"I know." "Um, I know you have a busy day today." "When are you bringing Penelope by?"

"In about an hour."

"I have run a quick errand but I'll be back in time."

"Ok."

"I'm gonna go."

"See you later."

"Bye."

As soon as Sam left Emily looked up the address of the nearest drugstore and drove there. She went up to the pharmacy counter.

"Hi." She said to the pharmacist. "I need the Morning After pill."

It was Tuesday Emily was watching Penelope while Sam and Austin were out to lunch. They were eating.

"I don't think I told you." Austin "The night of the charity event the people next door to me woke me up." "I could hear them having sex."

"That whole floor had people from the AEW staying on it." "Who do you think it was?"

"I know who it was."

"Who?"

"You and Emily." He said smiling. "Yeah, you two sounded very friendly that night."

"I don't know who you heard but it wasn't us."

"I know your voices." "I know that was her room."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Really?" He lowered his voice and in a speaking tone said. " "Oh Sam." "Oh Emily." "Ohhhh, mmmmm, oh my god, ohhhh, Sam." "God Emily."

"Shut up." He said smiling. "It shouldn't have happened again."

"Again?" He said surprised. "It's happened before?"

"We just got carried away." "All three times were mistakes."

"Three?"

"We did it twice Saturday." "We agreed they were mistakes and to stay friends."

"Friends?" "Why are you two doing this to yourselves?" "Your feelings for her aren't gonna go away."

"We don't have those feelings for each other."

"I think you're scared because with her you can't use Penelope as an excuse." "You're scared that you can actually be in love again after all this time."

"I'm not in love with Emily."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes."

The next night Sam was coming back from an autograph signing. Emily had been watching Penelope as usual. He paid Emily.

"Before you go I have something to give you." He said. He went over to his bag and took out the panties she'd been wearing the night they had sex. "I found these in my tux pants." He said handing them to her.

"Thanks." She said taking them.

"Just so you know, Austin knows." "He had the room next to yours that night and he could hear us."

"He heard us?"

"Yeah."

"Oh boy." "I bet he had a field day with you on that one."

"Yeah."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok goodnight."

"Goodnight." She left.
