Chap 8 "Sam Has A Girlfriend"

Sam's POV
I looked at Adam. "She's going to be able to kill you," I replied. "She was in the military and she's an FBI agent. She could kill you and get away with it."
"Alexis isn't capable of murder," Adam nodded.
"She might not look like it but maybe," I sighed. "But I gotta go. I have a date with Natalie and I do not want to miss it."
"Go," Adam replied. "I'll just be here, thinking what I'm going to wear."
"It's a ball Adam," I sighed. "You wear a tuxedo or a suit." I grabbed my keys to my rental car. "Did I mention that Natalie's my girlfriend already?"
"What?" was all I heard after I closed the door.
I drove to the trail at the bottom of the Hollywood sign. Natalie was there. We hiked up all the way to the top of the Hollywood sign and sat down. I had my guitar with me. "Everything looks so different from up here," I replied.
"It does," Natalie smiled. She looked at me. "Okay. You know a lot about me from yesterday. Let's find out some more things about you." I nodded. "Wat's your favorite thing about being in a band?"
"It's always good to have someone you can talk to who's going through the same thing, it's easier to talk to them," I smiled. "And especially at a hotel, it's not fun to be in a hotel room alone. That's actually the best part about being in a band, you're never alone."
"Yeah," Natalie sighed, knowing the feeling. "Do you miss your other band members that you've told me about?"
"Yeah, because they had a part in putting us where we are now. It was fun to mix a lot of voices for a song. There was always a lot of energy when the guys were around. But the good thing now is that Adam and I are able to record a lot more songs and covers for the fans. Other than the fact that we do miss the guys. They're our brothers and we love each other."
"Well, at least you guys are still making music."
"Yeah," I smiled. "By the way, I have a song I want to sing for you. That's why I brought my guitar."
"Let's hear it."
I started playing my guitar. "Listen closely. I've got something I'd like to sing," I sang. "A friend is not just somebody to count on that stayed until the end. Listen closely. I've got something I'd like to share. Never met a girl like you before. Ready, set, go." I smiled. "It's like a mission except that nothing can go wrong. I have a smile on my face while I'm writing you this song. 'Cause all I wanna do is open up my heart to you. I never thought that I could be this sure. I never thought that I could be this sure." Natalie had a smile on her face and that's what I wanted to see. "Time has changed. I'm not the one I used to be. Like an angel from heaven, you came down to me. Oh. Listen closely, there's nothing else I need. All the games I played, game over. 'Cause you taught me to see. Yeah. It's like a mission except that nothing can go wrong. Let me see a smile on your face while I'm singing you this song. 'Cause all I wanna do is open up my heart to you. I never thought that I could be this sure. I never thought that I could be this sure." I strummed out the last chords. "What do you think?"
"Corny, but cute. Did you write that song?"
"Yeah. Just didn't find the right girl to sing it to till now." I held her hand. "What are we going to do when I have to go back to Sweden?"
"We'll find a way around it. I promise," Natalie nodded. "We will find a way. Just like Alexis and Adam will find a way when they're in a relationship." I looked at Natalie. "We just gotta be adults about it for now and enjoy the memories while we have each other here."
"Yeah,you're right," I nodded. I noticed a fire on the beach. People were nicely dressed. "Hey, is that the military ball?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go to it."
"No. I can't. Alexis would never forgive me if I did."
"Why are you so scared? Natalie, it's just a party."
"This is the party Alexis planned. The party she doesn't want anything to go wrong. Beside, they're all military people down there. You really wanna risk getting shot at?'
"Alright, you have a point there. I wanna keep living my life than get shot at anyways. I have you now."
