Ill Protect You - Sam Callahan

Chapter Six

Esmes POV

I ran straight into Sam's muscly arms, tears flowing from my cheeks. It was safe to say i was scared

"Babe you done so well!" He exclaimed, tightly wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Babe!" Matt cooed in a baby voice

I blushed, and Sam immediately removed his arms from my waist. Unfortunately

"Haha very funny" Sam spoke, before noticing the tears down my face

"Why're you crying?" His voice turned from happy to concerned in a matter of seconds

I shook my head, I couldn't tell him. Not in front of everyone atleast

"Tell you later" I whispered,

"Pinky promise?" He laughed, holding his pinky finger in the air

"Pinky promise" I giggled, wrapping my finger around his

He took my hand a gave it a tight, comforting squeeze before letting go

Mum, Brandon and Sophia appeared in the doorway, showing the guard their backstage passes

I bounced over to them, enveloping them all in one tight cuddle, I had to warn Brandon.

"My baby girl!" My mum sobbed into my shoulder

Sophia tugged at the bottom of my cream, figure hugging dress that reached the floor even with my 5inch heels on!

"Soph!" I picked the toddler up, placing her on my hip

"You look so cute!" I laughed at her "Vote For Esme!" T-shirt and tickled her tummy, causing a fit of laughter to erupt from her tiny mouth

"Mummy I need to go toilet" she scrambled out of my arms and took my mums hand, running in the direction if the toilet

Perfect time to tell him

"Brandon, when was dad's release date?" I questioned, playing with my fingers

"Sometime in December Es, don't worry" he patted my arm

He's not out yet?! I was sure I had seen him! Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me and I imagined him?

...............................................

"How d'you feel about tonight's performance?" Sam asked, I sat down next to him on my bed

"I'm actually really happy with my comments! How about you?"

"Mmm, mine weren't so great" he sighed, leaning his back on the bed frame

"Sam" I spoke softly, wrapping my small arm around his torso "I thought it was great!"

"Thanks" he chuckled

There was a silence, not an awkward silence, but a comfortable one

"You look beautiful" Sam commented, I was still in my dress but had kicked my shoes off

I blushed crimson "you don't look to bad yourself!"

He smirked, lightly pulling my face closer to his. Sam pressed his lips on mine, and I immediately felt sparks. Not one, but multiple fireworks erupted in my stomach

Reluctantly, I pulled away. Laughing as I pushed his chest slightly

"I've been waiting ages to do that" he spoke, running a hand through his hair

"You're so cheesy!" I laughed, hauling myself up and changing into my pyjamas in the bathroom before returning to Sam's cuddle

I grabbed his hand and played with his fingers while he flicked through the channels, finally deciding on a football match, it was boring enough to cause my to drift off to sleep on Sam's shoulder

The last thing I heard was Sam chuckle "why do you always fall asleep on me?"
