Samantha's POV:
I can't believe that I'm back at Amber's arms again. I missed how warmth it feels to embrace her, how she smells, how she made me feel so protected, how every touch lingers on my skin, how she made me feel so loved and respected. I'm still cuddled up with Amber waiting for my parents to get home. I already offered that she can go but Amber insisted to stay to make sure that someone will look after me when she's gone. She's still worried that I might faint again because of exhaustion. I don't think I'll experience it again any time soon since we've already made up. I can now sleep happily knowing that the girl that I love doesn't hate me anymore.
"What are you thinking?" Amber whispered while playing on the ends of my hair. I tried to change my position to let her shoulder rest since I've been cuddling her for two and a half hours now. But she didn't let me and held me even tighter. I chuckled and blushed at the same time. I thought I'm the clingy one but now, I'm not sure anymore.
"I don't want to numb your shoulders." I said shyly looking at those perfect brown eyes.
"You don't okay? I like this." Amber kissed the top of my head and sniffed the scent of my hair. I giggled.
"Mmmm.. You smell like a baby.. who just puked some of it's undigested milk contents." I hit her arm and smelled myself. Do I smell that bad? God, that's embarrassing. Amber laughed adorably and sniffed my hair again. "Just kidding, you smelled like a perfect combination of vanilla and lavender okay? I love it."
"Jokes are half meant you know.." I pouted and snuggled some more to hide my embarrassment.
"Of course it is. You smelled like a baby.. That's half of what I've said right? a baby.. My baby." Amber added and I felt like squealing. I don't know how she does that, how to come up with words that can make my heart melt. She just called me her baby. God.
"Stop making me blushed." I hugged her waist even tighter and kissed her unexposed shoulders which is covered by her Dashboard Confessional shirt. Amber lifted my chin and kissed both of my cheeks.
"I like seeing that red tints on your cheeks, so I can't promise anything okay?" Amber said as she nudged the tip of her nose to both of my cheeks. God she's killing me. I giggled some more and kissed her nose. I was about to kiss her fully on the lips when I heard someone opening the door. My parents. Perfect timing.

Amber's POV
"Are you sure, you're gonna be okay?" I asked Sam as she walked me out to their front door. Sam told her parents that she fainted because of physical exhaustion from her cheerleading practice and assignment work load. But I observed that her Dad knows what's the real reason behind it. I'm just happy that her dad still treated me the same. He even said that he's happy I'm the one who took care of his daughter. Jeez, I thought he'll hate me for making his princess cry. Sam's mom was also thankful for what I did.
"Yeah.. I'll be alright. Just please call me when you get home. I just want to hear your voice before I sleep." Sam asked with a pleading eyes. She must have missed our night and morning messages since we didn't talked for almost 3 days. "Oh.. and tomorrow too.. please send me a message.. Anything.. I mean.. Um.. Like if you're already awake and.. you know.. Don't worry I'll just take the bus so you don't need-" I cut her off.
"Hey, I'll take you to school tomorrow okay?" Sam smiled widely and nodded.
"I just need to explain things with Mandy tonight. You know her, she's very much protective of me." I added and Sam sighed defeatedly.
"Yeah, I'll call her too tonight so I can explain things with her. I don't want her to think that I'm just trying to earn your trust again so I can hurt you some more. I just want her to know my true intentions Amber. She's your best friend and I don't want her to hate me."
"She won't.. We just have to show her that." Sam nodded and looked at me with a small smile. She bit her lip and placed the palm of her right hand on my chest while her left hand moved up on my cheek. She leaned in closer and kissed me lovingly. Sam give me another quick peck before ending the kiss.
"Um, how about Shane?" Sam asked and I felt myself getting angry. I almost forgot about that guy. He somewhat threatened Sam and I won't forgive him for that.
"I don't care about him.. He can do whatever he wants.. As long as you're with me.. I'm gonna be okay. We're gonna be okay." I held Sam's waist as I looked at those silvery blue eyes made with pure perfection. "You don't deserved that.." Sam added.
"But I don't deserved to be hurt by the girl that I love right? So don't ever think of hurting me again to protect me. Because it won't, it will hurt me more. I can managed being hurt by other people but not from those people I truly care and love. It will break me Sam. So please let's face everything together." I just wanted Sam to know how much I care and love her. Sam has the ability to make my world perfect and beautiful but she can also be a black hole that can make my perfect world disappear if she wants too.
"Sorry. But I promise not to hurt you again, not intentionally at least." She mumbled.
"I believe you." I kissed her forehead and snaked both of my arms on her back to hold her close. She kissed the side of my neck and tiptoed some more to hug me as close as possible.
"I love you Amber." She whispered.
"I love you too Sammy." I answered sweetly. I felt Sam formed a smile over my skin. This is the girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I hope she does too.
