LITTLE THINGS

Chapter 12

SAM'S P.O.V

"Hey!"  Riley hugged me from behind when we're in the bus, just did the bus party.

"Hey."  I simply answered as well as trying to take his hands off so I can face him.

"What?  You don't like it?"  He stepped aback.

"It's...i do, Riley...  But..."

"Oh...so?"

"Doesn't it weird?  To be here and act like this?"  I whispered.  Yeah the boys were in their bunks now.

"I don't see that way.  Why would you?"

"Why wouldn't I?  Alright Ri, let me talk."  I pulled his hands and brought him to the back lounge, locked the door so nobody would interrupt us.

"Whoa, are you sure that we're gonna do this?"  He smirked.  He caused himself to get a slap for me.  It's not the strongest one, but I was pretty well mean it.  "Ouch!"

"Shush, young man.  That's not what I'm talking about." 

"Sit."  I asked him.

"I'm all ears."  He followed my command.

"It's...  I don't know where to start...  But okay, I'm sorry about today.  The signals you talked about, I admit, I got it."

"Praise the Lord."  Riley rolled his eyes.

"But the thing is, it's too weird for us, Riley."

"What's so weird?  I am single."  He raised en eyebrow.

"Oh yeah me too.  But we're not...like...  Okay just stop doing something that you tend to do it without explanation, and giving me signals instead.  It drives me nuts.  I can't pretend that I don't get it, but I can't guess all those uncertainty all the time too!"  I half whispered.

"Oh!  Now I get it."  Riley cleared his throat.

"Now you tell me."  I rolled my eyes.  "Now, look.  I'm not pushing you into something.  It rather just an explanation of my denial thing so far.  I think you deserve to know..."

"Sure, I appreciate it really much.  But well it explains us too that we got something around here, right?"  He pointed to both of us repeatedly.

"I believe so."  I nodded and smiled.

"Nice to know it.  Then I'm gonna make you believe that I'll bring you there someday."  He kissed my hands.

"To where?"

"The certainty."

He shocked me in a way or another.  I just looked up on his face, studied every inch of it.  He did the same thing to me.  It was intense.  And I didn't know since when he did that, but when I realized what I was doing, Riley just landed his lips on mine.  It's nothing to be pushed.  We just wanted to.  We just...can't resist anymore.  I accepted the kiss by kissing back.  Oh, told you, thank God I've locked the lounge door even though I didn't see it coming.

"Thank you..."  He released the kiss with a smile.

"For what?"

"The kiss."

"Why did you do that?"  

I stared at my hands.  I don't know it goes but I got my hands around his neck.  Now I felt his hands on my waist too.  Who did this pose to us.

"Because I know you've locked the door and why not."  He smirked. 

"Don't make me slap you again."

"Easy babe, it's not gonna be the last, of course."  He kissed my cheek softly.  "Good night."  And left me breathless in the lounge.  He made a way to his bunk, whistling.  Oh boys.
