A good kind of happiness (an o2l/sam pottorff fanfic) book 2

28

I woke up next to Sam. Well shit. Why can't I just be hey you're cool. Why do I have to go and sleep with him!? Oi. I heard him turn over and make a weird noise so I assumed he was waking up. I slowly sat up and walked over to the bathroom. As I began brushing my teeth I heard him get off of the bed. "Is that my shirt?" He asked groggily. I nodded and continued brushing until my mouth burned with mint. "So can we talk?" He asked. "Bout what?" I asked as I put my toothbrush away. "Don't play dumb Natty." He said in a serious tone. "I don't really know what to say." I said quietly. "I think it was smart of us to end things." He said. I felt tears swell up in my eyes. "And I think it would be smart for us to stay apart." He said again. One tear rolled down my cheek. "But luckily for you, I'm not always very smart." He said. "What?" I asked. Almost immediately after I got that word out he planted a kiss on my lips. I felt my heart flutter like a stupid 14 year old girl who just got kissed by her crush. But heart, bro, I'm 19. Chill down. After an hour of being lazy and watching tv my phone buzzed.

From:Andreaa!!!

Uh sprained ankle probs.. IM SO BORED

To:Andreaa!!!

I'll be over soon.. With a surprise💁

"Sammy, would you care if I go to Andrea's for a bit?" I asked as I kissed his cheek. "No go have fun." He said taking in a bite of fruit loops. "Ok I'm gonna go get dressed." I said. I changed into a black tank, green army jacket, dark skinny jeans and my brown Jeffrey Campbell's. I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs. "Bye babe!" I yelled as I ran outside. I unlocked my phone and and texted Monica.

To: Monica xx

Hey meet me at starbs? We have to go see An!

From: Monica xx

Yeah see ya soon💋

I drove down to the Starbucks and met Monica. She was wearing a cropped and fitted black leather jacked with a purple tanktop, black skinny jeans and black Louis Vuitton's. Her hair curled as usual. "Ready?" She asked. I nodded and the two of us walked out to our cars, high heels clicking all the way. When we arrived at Andrea's I told Monica to stay quiet and let me go in first. "Hey Andrea how ya feeling?" I asked. "Fine fine now what's the surprise!?" She asked impatiently. "You can come in." I said calmly. Monica stepped out and you would have thought Andrea won the lottery. "OMIGOD MONICA HOLY SHIT YOU'RE HERE OMIGOD!" She screamed. Monica stepped over and gave her a hug. The three of us talked about how much fun we're going to have now that she's back until it got late and Monica and I just crashed at Andrea's.

Xx Next Morning xX

I woke up to Monica talking on the phone in the hallway. "Yeah I can come over. Okay. See you soon honey." She said. When she hung up she walked back in the room. "Natty will you drive me to Connor's?" She asked. "Yeah I need to talk to him anyway." I said. We said goodbye to Andrea and went to my car. When we got there Monica and Connor kissed right away. Well that moved quickly. The three of us talked for awhile until I began to feel like a 3rd wheel so I went in the kitchen. A few minutes later Connor walked in the kitchen. "She's in the bathroom." He said. "I really think I'm falling for this girl." He said again. "Connor, I know she seems really nice and sweet at first but at the end of the day she always looks out for herself. I don't think you can ever change that." I said. Monica is one of my best friends but I've seen her hurt people. And I do t want Connor to be the next victim. "Natty, every girl has her flaws but I really like this one. I can learn to live with it." He said. "I know you can I just don't want to see you get hurt." I said. "I'm not going to get hurt Natty. And I don't need you telling me who I can and can't date." He argued. "I'm not I just-" I started. "Hey guys what going on?" Monica suddenly asked from the doorway. "Natalie was just leaving." Connor said angrily. "Bye Mon." I said as I walked out the door. Godammit. I need to accept that Connor isn't my personal fall back. And I have Sam anyway. What the hell is wrong with me?
