Chapter 13

Sapphire's POV

"Can we talk?" I ask Sam who looks back to me after Johnson left the kitchen. "Sure." He says, guiding me outside onto the balcony where some chairs were, sliding the door shut. We both sit down and now I've gotten Sam out here, I have no idea what to say.

"What's up?" Sam questions. I think for a few moments and realise I may aswell just ask the obvious question. "What's going on with us?" I wonder, looking directly at him. I didn't want us to end up in a full scale argument like yesterday, so I remained calm.

"What do you mean?" He furrowed his eyebrows. {A/N- When you nod your head yes, but you wanna say no. Sorry I couldn't resist.}

"Sammy, you know what I mean." I sighed.

"I meant exactly what I said. I like you Sapphire. I think your beautiful, caring and an amazing girl. I've felt like this for so long but I couldn't tell you because you weren't there to tell. When you came back to school, you have no idea how happy I was to see you. I barely spoke to you because I didn't want to fuck it up and mess up possibly the only chance I had with you. When we kissed last night, I knew 100% I had feelings for you. It was honestly the most amazing kiss I have ever shared with a girl. I've loved you since I first set eyes on you 8 years ago." Sam confessed. I had no words but I was confused. If he had liked me for all of those years, why did he allow me to be tortured by those disgusting people he calls friends.

"Then why did you let them make my life hell? I came to school every single day miserable, wishing I was somewhere else. You knew I liked you, so why?" I pushed, pulling up my jumper sleeve and wiping my water line where tears were forming.

"I-I don't know." He stuttered, looking down to the floor. I didn't want an argument but if we were going to have this talk, everything needed to be said.

"It's because you were a coward. You were a popular and I was a freak. I wasn't good enough for you and you knew that. I was never going to be good enough to even talk to you. If someone claims to feel that strongly about something, you would have done something. But you didn't." I sobbed. I felt like I was quoting something from Romeo and Juliet about forbidden love or something.

"Don't say that. You're not a freak. You not good enough? No. I wasn't good enough for someone like you, Sapphire. You're right. I was a coward. You shouldn't even be talking to me, because i'm not worth your time. I hurt you in more ways than I could ever imagine and I cant take any of it back, ever. But I want to move forward. When you were with me today, I felt like the happiest guy in the world, just having you with me makes me happy. I want and plan to make the girl I treasure more than anything, mine. If you let me. I'll try my best to make everything up to you. I did so much wrong I will never be able to forgive myself and you shouldn't either. You are so so beautiful and i'm not afraid anymore of truly facing what I should have done years ago. So please, Sapphire. Will you give me another chance and do the honour of going on a date with me?" He asks, with pleading eyes.

Tears pour from my eyes and I have no idea what to say. I never in a million years think I'd hear Sam apologise or admit he was wrong. Sam lent forward and wiped my tears from my face, repeating over and over "Please don't cry." If I was ever going to be happy I would have to forgive and forget and I never thought I would be ready to do it anytime soon but I believe every word that has just come out of his mouth and instead of agreeing to the date, I stand up from my seat and push my lips to Sam's. He smiles into the kiss and whispers "I take that as a yes?" I kiss him once more. "Yes."

He pulls me onto his lap, my legs either side of his waist and my arms secured around his neck. Sam's hands were resting on my butt, cheeky. I squealed as he moved his hands under my butt and stood up, walking back into the house and towards his room.  He attached his lips to mine once more and kicked the door shut with his foot and lowering me onto bed slowly. Our lips moved in sync, Sam slipping his tongue into my mouth. As we kissed, I felt every emotion I felt for him all those years ago come back. I felt the exact same way, every time I was with Sam I felt butterflies in my stomach and when he didn't move from the sofa or leave me today when I was asleep showed he truly did care for me.

I wasn't sure what will happen between us but i'm looking forward to finding out.

Sam went over to his wardrobe and grabbed one of his t-shirts for me to change into. I playfully pushed him out of the bedroom, closing the door behind me. I left my underwear on for obvious reasons and pulled the t-shirt over the top.

"Are you done yet?" Sam whined from outside of the door.

"Uh Huh." I say, opening the door for him to come back in. Without warning, he fully just stripped down to his boxers leaving me feeling awkward as fuck.

"I can feel you staring." He says, turning round slightly and smirking. "Like what you see?"

"Uh-" I stuttered. "Shut up." Turning round and jumping into the bed, Sam following behind. My eyes felt heavy and I let out a long yawn. I really need to get to sleep.

Sam pulled me towards him by the waist so our bodies moulded together. He moved my hair and I felt his lips touch my neck, sending shivers through my body.

"Goodnight, Saph." He whispered as I fell into a deep slumber.

Very overdue, I apologise. I started college this week and my god I will cry. I got my timetable and I do 4 days a week from 9am until 6pm, I'm going to be exhausted. My updates will probably be slower but I will update at least once to twice a week. I was going to continue this chapter further but I wanted to split it in half or it would be too long and I wanted them to go back to school and drama happen lol, so next chapter I'll hopefully get writing today.

Thank you for your patience loves, I have a more detailed Sam book coming!!
