"I'm gonna shower then we can go" I tell Kevin as I stand up from the couch. "Sounds good. I'm just gonna watch TV so I'm ready when you are" he explains. I make my way to the bathroom and undress. I shower quickly and get out. Shit. I forgot clothes. I pull on my bra and underwear and find one of Jake's extra shirts in the corner. It barely goes past my butt and I sigh as I slowly walk out of the bathroom. Now to get past Kevin to my room.

"Hey Kevin can you close your eyes?" Samantha asks from around the corner. "I can but why?" I question. "Um- because I said so" "Samantha" "Kevin" "Fine. They are now closed" I say. I hear her feet shuffle across the floor and I smirk at what I see as my eyes are open slightly. She's so cute. "I could've gotten you clothes" I yell after her and I hear her let out a sigh. She should've known I'd peek. She comes back out dressed in really skinny jeans, a nice white tank top, and a greyish cardigan. "Ready?" she asks me, breaking me from my trance of staring at her. "Ya lets go" I say grabbing my keys and escorting her out.

He pulls up to Ihop and we exit the car and make our way to the entrance. He is wearing khakis and a nice Lightning hockey shirt which is a little more dressed up then his usual gym shorts and t shirt. "After you" he says opening the door for me and I smile before sending him a quick thank you. We are seated quickly and I notice our waitress watching Kevin. She brings us our drinks and as she hands Kevin his her fingers linger on his.
"Samantha what's wrong?" he asks me placing his hand out on the center console. "Nothing" I say taking his hand and playing with his fingers. "Something's wrong" he pushes and I lay my head back on the seat. I can't tell him what's wrong. Telling him what's wrong is telling him I have feelings for him and I can't do that. "Sam?" "Ya?" "What's wrong?!" "Nothing! Don't worry about me!" "I can't not worry about you!" "I know...but don't."
"Hey girl" Maggie greets us as me and Kevin walk through the door. "Hey can we talk?" "Of course" "I'll be back" I tell Kevin and we head to the kitchen while Kevin heads to the living room. "Helppppp" I whine as I jump up on the counter. "Help? What happened?" My voice gets quiet and I whisper "I like him" "I KNEW IT!!" she yells and I slap my hand over her mouth.

"I like him" Sam says and my stomach flutters with butterflies. Maggie yells that she knew it before Samantha shushes her and continues. I step a little closer to the kitchen opening in hopes of hearing better. "Ya you knew but like- ugh I REALLY like him but I can't have a boyfriend" she continues and I about faint on the floor. "Why can't you" Maggie questions as if she read my mind. "I don't know I'm just not ready. He might leave me or something...but since that first day in the hotel I haven't had a single bad thought about myself..." I bite my lip as I hold in a scream and stop myself from jumping around and pumping my fists. I saved her. I make her happy. I make my dream girl happy.
