Trouble in Paradise

Chapter 12

Jacksons mom had invited Sam , Jackie, and i all over for dinner. She made hamburgers for everyone.
  
Its now eight thirty and all four of us are sitting in the living room. Sams family arent the only rich people in this town thats for sure. Jacksons living room was three times the size of mine. Its ridiculous.
  
Im sitting on the couch with Sam right beside me, his head is on my shoulder and he is playing with my hair. I love it when people play with my hair. Jackson and Jackie are sitting on the floor. A little while ago, Jacksons little brother, Leonardo, joined us because 'it was his house too'.
  
We are playing 'Truth or Dare' and it is Jacksons turn.
  
"Jack, umm," he begins, "do you admit to ever having a crush on a girl?"
  
"Yes," Jackie says without any hesitation at all.
  
"Who?"
  
"Lexi."
  
"Really?" he asks. By the looks the boys had on their faces, i could tell that they believed her little joke.
  
"Broskies! Look at her. She hot!"
  
Both Sam and Jackson look at me, mouths a gape, confusion shown on their faces. Jackie and i erupt into laughter.
  
Leo says to his brother and Sam, "You guys are so gulibal."
  
"Leo, shut up!" Sam hollers at him, "You dont even know what that word means."
  
"Neither do you dumbass!" Leo shot back. For an eleven year old he sure had a pottymouth.
  
Sam is silent beside me, which im guessing means that Leo was right.
  
"Your are the only person that i know who is actually dumber than my brother." Leo says and laughs.
  
"Alright," Jackson says, "Its Leos turn."
  
Leos eyes zone in on Sam, "I have the perfect question for you, loser. Truth or dare?"
  
"Truth," Sam says.
  
"How many girls have you ever kissed?"
  
"Dare! Ill switch to dare." Sam says, trying to avoid his question.
  
"Fine," Leo has a mischevious smile on his face, "i dare you to answer that question."
  
"You little shit," Sam mumbles under his breath.
  
"Yeah Sami, go ahead and answer the question," i say, waiting impatiently for his answer.
  
"Fifteen," he mutters under his breath.
  
"What was that? I didnt catch your answer," Leo says, just to get on Sams bad side.
  
"Fifteen," Sam says louder this time.
  
"What? You're kidding. You've kissed fifteen different girls? Who?" i ask in disbelief.
  
"Its nobody you know. No worries, right Lex?"
  
I dont answer him, but glare in his direction.
  
"I am going to beat you fucking ass," Sam says to Leo.
  
"Come and get some, you pussy!" Leo shouts, egging him on.
  
Sam shot out of his spot on the couch.
I see Leos eyes widen with horror, almost as if he didnt think Sam would actually come after him.
  
Sam has Leo pinned to the ground in one swift motion before Leo even has a chance to make a run for it.
  
Sam is straddling Leos waist, holding his hands above his head with one hand. He pops his index finger from his free hand into his mouth, then jabs it into Leos ear, making hin squirm.
  
"Eww! Gross!" Leo struggles to get out from underneath Sam.
  
"Whos the dumbass now?"
  
"Still you. I bet you dont even know half the words in the dictionary."
  
"I do too!"
   "Really?" Leo scoffed at the thought, "You're the kind of person they put instructions on shampoo for."
  
"That doesnt even make sense."
  
"Exactly!" Leo laughs at my boyfriends stupidity. I had to give props to Leo, that was a pretty good one.
  
"You walked right into that one, dude," Jackson laughed.
  
"Your pretty much a blonde already, minus the hair color," Leo says as Sam glares down at him.
  
Sam looks at me for support, hes making a puppy dog face, his bottom lip jutted out and quivering.
  
Leo takes his one chance to get free while Sam is momentarily distracted. Leo is able to wriggle his wrist out of Sams tight hold, and before Sam has time to react, Leo punches Sam in his crotch, hard.
  
Sam rolls off of Leo and curls up into the fetal position on the floor, cupping himself.
  
"Leo, i freaking love you right now!" Jackie says, shes smiling from ear to ear. "We should start inviting him to hang out with us more often," she says and gives Leo a high five.
  
Sam groans in pain on the floor. His eyes are tightly shut, the wrinkle lines visible on either side.
  
"Yes! I finally beat him at something," Leo said.
  
Jackson turns to his brother, "Leo you didnt win, you cheated. Nutshots are an immediate disqualification."
  
"No they arent!" Leo screamed in frustration, "I won fair and square!"
  
"No, you didnt. Leo you lost."
  
Then Leo went after his brother, "I won! Admit it or ill go and get mom!"
  
Jackson stared down his brother, "Go get mom then. Because im not going to admit it."
  
Leo huffed out a big sigh. He knew that he was defeated by his older brother.
  
"You suck!" Leo yelled at his brother before sitting back down on the floor to pout.
  
Sam was laying on his back now, still sprawled out on the floor. One hand was stilling cupping his crotch, while the other was behind his head.  He had his eyes closed and i thought he was asleep but then he perked his head up.
  
He came over to where i was sitting and crawled right into my lap like a little baby. He layed his head on my chest and nuzzled his nose into my neck. I put my hand in his hair because i know he likes it when i play with his hair, for some unknown reason. He sighs and his hot breath sides against my neck.
  
"Sam, you are such a fucking pussy," Leo taunts.
  
Sam raises his middle finger up high and says, "Fuck off, Leo!"
  
"Kids!" Mrs. Kramer shouts from upstairs, "Language, please!"
  
"Yeah, you fucking idiot," Leo says, disobeying his mother.
   
Five minutes later Sam is asleep and snoring quietly in my lap. I watched his hand twitch every so often and so i grabbed it and squeezed gently. I figured that maybe he was just having a bad dream or something.
  
Just when i started to fall asleep, Mrs. Kramer walks into the room, "Alright. Boys get up, you're sleeping upstairs. You girls can sleep down here."
  
Jackson stands up slowly, still half asleep and head toward the staircase.
  
"Im too tired to walk. Cant i sleep right here?" Leo complains to his mom from his spot on the floor where hes just barely awake.
  
"Leo! Upstairs! Now!"
  
Leo trudged after his brother.
  
"Sami!" Mrs. Kramer hollers, "Come on! Wake up! Im tired too. Now lets go!"
  
Sam mumbled, snuggled in closer to me, and continued snoring.
  
"Sam! Move it!" Mrs. Kramer says in a stern voice.
  
Sam stands up and heads in the direction Jackson and Leo went.
  
We heard a loud thud from the hallway, then Leo laughs mischeviously as Sam hollers, "Ow! Mother fucker!"
  
And then we hear what i assume is Sam chasing Leo around upstairs.
  
Mrs. Kramer sighs and rolls her eyes, "I swear to God those boys act like a pack of wolves. Feel free to turn on the tv. And if you get hungry, we have plenty of snacks in the kitchen. You girls just help yourselves."
  
I smile, "Thanks."
  
"Mom!" Leo shrieks from upstairs.
  
"Id better go and get the boys settled down before they wreck the house. Goodnight girls"
  
Jackie and I smile and we say goodnight as she leaves the room.
  
Jackie climbs onto the couch beside me, and pulls a blanket from out of nowhere, and covers herself up.
  
"So, how are you and Sam?" she asks me, with a huge smirk playing across her lips.
  
"We're good. Why are you asking?" i look at her quizzically.
  
"Oh i dont know."
  
"What did he tell you?" i ask. What has Sam told her? Was is something bad?
  
"Just that you stayed the night over at his house the other night."
  
"What? He told you that?" I cannot believe him.
   "Yeah. He tells me everything. He also said that you guys had to use a rubber," she whispered the last part.
  
I look away from her curious expression, "I cant believe he told you that."
  
"Yeah. So how was it?"
  
"It was…nice," i say, how else am i suppose to describe it? He wasnt awful at it. In fact he knew how to work it, almost as if hes been doing it for years. Which he probably has. Out of the fifteen girls he admitted to kissing, how many did he end up going that far with?
  
"It was nice? Just nice? What was it like? How did it feel? Did it hurt?" she pressured me with her pleading eyes
  
"I mean it hurt a little, but after awhile all i could focus on was how good it felt. I didnt even notice the pain anymore."
  
"Does that mean he does know how to use his penis then?" Jackie asks, not even sounding like its akward to talk about her best friends guy parts.
  
"Yeah. I mean im not really sure because, you know, ive never, really… had sex before."
  
"Really So your first was with Sami? Do you regret it?"
  
"Of coarse not, im glad that he was my first," I smile at the thought of us laying naked in his bed the morning after that night.
  
"Well im happy for you two. You know, ive never seen Sami this happy in a long time."
  
"Whys that?"
   "Its just that every other girl that hes dated never really made him happy i guess. He always looked miserable with them, at least to me he did. Im glad that hes found you though. Im glad that you two are happy together. I missed that smile of his."
  
Woah. "Did you really just compliment Sam?" im surprised, ive never heard her say something nice about him before.
  
"If you tell that douchebag what i said about him, i will rip your throat out and shove it up his ass."
  
There she is. I smile at her violence, even though it kind of scares me.
