Flirt // Sam Wilkinson

~Three~

I woke up with burning eyes and a pounding headache.

I sat up and noticed I had fallen asleep on the living room couch. I looked to my right and saw that someone was sleeping on the other end, I leaned forward to see that it was Mark.

I removed the blankets from my legs and stood up. I walked towards the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water.

I set the glass down and walked out the back door to grab some fresh air. I took a seat on one of the metals chairs next to the fire pit.

The chair was freezing cold on my legs and back but it felt nice to inhale fresh air.

I pulled my knees to my chest, crossed my arms over my knees and rested my head in them. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

When I woke up I found myself wrapped in someone's arms. I lifted my head off his chest and waited for my eyes to focus.

"Good morning" Mark cooed rubbing my back.

I was in the same seat as when I fell asleep but this time in Marks arms. There was a small fire and the faint sound of birds chirping.

I looked around the fire to see empty chairs, beer cans and a boy.

It was Sam and that Tessa girl. Sam was sitting on the chair with a joint in his hand and Tessa on his lap.

"Hey" I replied to Mark.

"Do you guys want some?" Sam raised his hand that was holding the joint.

"We don't smoke, we're not burners like you" Mark rolled his eyes.

Sam threw his head back and let out a laugh.

I stood up and took the joint from in between Sam's fingers. I put it to my lips and watched Mark get awkward and uncomfortable.

"Looks like Lux is a burner just like me" Sam smirked.

I passed the joint back to Sam and went inside to grab the blanket off the couch.

I walked back out to the backyard and saw Sam on top of Mark, throwing punches at his face. Tessa was frantically shaking her hands telling Sam to stop but he didn't listen.

I threw the blanket on one of the chairs and ran over to the boys.

"Sam enough!" He ignored me.

I knelt down and cupped his face, I turned it towards me and looked deep into his eyes.

"Sam stop" I calmly said, running my thumb across his cheek.

He lowered his fist and examined my eyes before standing up and walking into the kitchen with Tessa following.

I moved closer to Mark and looked down at him.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yea I'm fine" He coughed.

I helped him up and walked with him to the bathroom. I let him clean himself up in peace and went upstairs to Sam's bedroom.

I knocked on the door and waited for him to open it.

"You ready to go?" Bailey asked from behind me.

I glanced at the door before nodding yes and walking downstairs.

We said goodbye to Nate, Mark and a few other people before walking out the door.

"Bye" I smiled and waved.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sam and Tessa walking down the stairs. Now I know why he didn't open the door.

I hopped into Bailey's car and leaned my head against the headrest.

"Did you have fun?" She asked me.

"Yea, did you?" I turned my head to look at her.

"I had a blast" She smiled.

I let out a little chuckle and stared through the windshield.

"Where'd you get that shirt from?" She questioned.

"Fuck! I forgot to give Sam his shirt back" I groaned.

"It's fine I'm going back there tonight so I can drop it off.. Unless you want to come?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"What is that suppose to mean?" I grinned and crossed my arms.

"Whatever you want it to mean. I saw him take that body shot off you, and don't forget I was standing right there when he dragged you away from me" She said shoulder checking to switch lanes.

"And?"

"And it seemed like you two were hitting it off" She shrugged.

"He finds me interesting and I find him interesting, it's no big deal" I held in my smile.

"Okay, whatever you say, just be careful because he is a major flirt" She smiled at me.

I nodded and unbuckled my seatbelt as Bailey drove into the driveway.

Bailey and I moved in together a couple months ago after we graduated high school. We've been best friends since 4th grade so what's better than moving in with your BFF.

I walked up the flight of stairs and locked the bathroom door. I took off my clothes and stepped into the shower. The hot beads of water felt good on my muscles and released whatever tension I had.

I finished my shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I picked up the clothes on the ground and walked down the hall to my bedroom.

I dried myself off and changed into black shorts and tucked in a plain white T-Shirt, I threw on a green plaid button up and applied my usual makeup. I let my hair fall naturally which was wavy and went downstairs to grab something to eat.

I grabbed a piece of toast and put it into the toaster. When the toast popped up I put it on a plate and grabbed the cinnamon and sugar.

Just as I sat down Bailey came down the stairs in jean shorts and a floral crop top. She grabbed an apple and sat across from me.

"Are you coming with me to Nate's?" Bailey asked taking a bite of her apple.

"Sure" I answered.

"Okay, we'll leave after dinner" She pulled out her phone.
