Painkiller [ON HOLD]

Three

"So what movie do you want to watch?" I asked as I sat on the sectional couch. She searched the shelf of movies and pulled out the Fox and the Hound. Of course. "I had a feeling you'd pick that one. It's your favorite movie."

"And it always makes me cry." She put it into the dvd player and turned on the TV. "Do you have popcorn?" I got up and went into the kitchen to make microwave popcorn. I handed her the bowl of popcorn and she sat next to me. "Thank you."

Minnie trotted over to us and rested her head on my lap. She was wagging her tail and I pointed my finger at her. "No begging."

Half way through the movie, Sam rested her head on my shoulder and yawned, "I'm tired."

"Go to bed."

She glared up at me. "But I want to finish the movie with you." I rolled my eyes and took a handful of popcorn.

At the end of the movie, I looked down at Sam who was sobbing. I raised an eyebrow. "How many times have you seen this movie?"

"A hundred by now," she whimpered. "But the ending gets me everytime." I wiped her tears and she smiled at me. "I'm ready for bed now."

I turned off the TV and we headed back upstairs. I handed her pillows and blankets and she laid on her back. It was 9:30pm. I went under my covers. My table lamp illuminated the room. Minnie fell asleep next to Sam, who was petting her.

"So, are you crushing on anyone?" she asked me.

I couldn't help but smile. "Yea, she's pretty cool. I mean, I don't think she likes me the same way."

"Oooo, you've gotta tell me who!"

"No!" I protested. "Definitley not!"

She frowned. "Why not?"

"I just... can't..." I couldn't explain why without implying it was her.

She was pouting with her bottom lip sticking out. "You'll have to tell me one day."

"One day, maybe I will," I reassured her. If I ever have the guts to tell you.

I started falling asleep.

"So, umm... actually nevermind. I don't feel comfortable asking."

I became more awake. "Ask away. You have no reason to be uncomfortable." Besides me seeing you earlier.

She bit her lip. "So... you really don't look at... porn?"

I took a deep breath, "No, I really don't. Why is that such a big deal to you?"

"I don't know..." Do you feel the same way? "I'm going to bed. Can you turn off the light please?" I turned off the light and closed my eyes.

I heard screaming and my eyes opened. I looked over. Sam was rocking back and forth crying, "Get him away! Get away! Nooo!" He, as in, her uncle.

I quickly got out of bed and grabbed her, holding her close. "Shh... Sam. It's ok. He's not here." She squirmed, trying to get out of my grasp. I held her tighter and rubbed her back.

She stopped screaming and looked up at me. I gave her a small smile. "I-I'm s..sorry..." she whimpered. "I-I d..di..didn't mean to w-wake you."

"You don't have to be sorry. As long as you're ok-"

"I'm fine..." No you're not. "Can I... sleep with you...?"

My eyes widened, "Are you... comfortable with that? After, y'know, me seeing you..." She nodded. I hesitated, biting my lip. "Ok." I got back into bed and she laid next to me.

Most of the guys at our school would do anything to be in my position. Sam is one of the most beautiful girls in school, with her stunning amber eyes, thick thighs, and breast. I'm told that I'm lucky that she talks to me since she's very shy and quiet. Most guys are scared to even try to talk to her, so they just get jealous of me. The difference between me and them... I love her, I know my limits, and I cherish our friendship. Other guys would take this opportunity to have sex with her, but me, I'm just offering her comfort. 

She turned so that her face was in my chest. I felt my cheeks turn warm, and I wrapped my arms around her, hoping I wasn't going past my limits. I closed my eyes.
