Yes?

Gabe's POV

After the park, I had to leave for a class at school. Sam was a bit disappointed but I'll get to see him later, no worries.

As I head off to my next class I see Adam as I'm walking through the hall. My ex. Shit.

I turn to walk the other way but he has already spotted me. "Hey Gabe! Hey!", he calls out. Damnit. I turn around hesitantly. "Listen......Adam.....I'm running late to class. I'll catch ya later", I push past him but he grabs my arm. "Wait wait not yet!", he smiles. I sigh, "What?".

He smirks, "How about you stop by my dorm after class?". I scoff, "How about no". I go to push past him but once again he grabs my arm. "No isn't an option. I still love you and you still love me so c'mon", he tried reasoning.

I laugh, "I don't love you Adam so get over yourself. Don't put words in my mouth. We broke up a year ago! Leave me alone". He still won't budge. "I said leave me alone!".

"Hey!", a voice from down the hall hollered.

Adam and I looked down the hall. Thank god. It's Sam.

He came closer and pulled me from Adam's grip with his moose strength. He gave Adam a death glare then kissed me on the cheek. "Now if you don't mind", Sam said, grabbing my hand and walking me to class.

"So who was that?", Sam asked when we were out of Adam's earshot. "Just a clingy ex. A story for another time", I smile.

When I got to my class Sam kissed me. I heard a few 'Oooooh's and 'Get some!'s from the people walking into the class. My face got red and I winked at Sam. "See ya Samsquatch". His faced turned to a tomato, "Later", he said, waving.

*The next day* (Still Gabe's POV)

I wake up to open blinds and my roomate Kevin singing to crappy songs in the bathroom mirror. I laugh and hop off my bed. "Let's sign you up for the X Factor!", I yell over the music. He is startled and turns down the music. "Ha ha very funny", he squints at me. "Thanks I try", I wink.

I get dressed and start heading out the door. But when I open the door there is something waiting for me. A bouquet? A bouquet of roses and lollipops! I pick it up and smell the roses. There's a card attached. "Hey Gabe. So....I'm too shy to do this in person so.....will you be my boyfriend? -Samsquatch".

I gasp and get a little teary eyed. "Yes!", I whisper to myself. Or so I think to myself. "Score!", someone cheers. I look up. Sam? "Sam, you scared me! What the hell!", I laugh. I run over and hug him. He lifts up my face and kisses me. "Yes", I repeat.

"Thank god. I have an idea. Come with me!", Sam yells while grabbing my wrists and pulling me outside.

He pulls me into his car and takes a blindfold out of the center compartment. "Oh so you just have those handy?", I joke. Sam laughs hysterically and then punches my arm, "No shut up!". He wraps the blindfold around my head and drives off.

"Where are we going?", I ask after 15 minutes of driving. "The blindfold has a point sweet cheeks!", Sam replies. I giggle, "Oh that reminds me. How did you know I love sweets? With the flower and lollipop bouquet and everything". He laughs, "It's kind of easy to tell, when you have candy wrappers falling out of your pockets every second of the day". I blush, "Oh", I reply quietly.

After 5 minutes of driving the terrain changes. I can feel a rocky dirt road underneath us. "Saaaaam just tell me!", I whine. He grabs my hand, "Be patient, we are almost there".

After a few more minutes we come to a halt. Sam gets out and opens my door. He leans me out of the car carefully. "Now wait here and do not take it off", he warns. I nod and I hear him open the trunk of the car. There's rustling and movement.

Then he grabs my hand and leads me to what I think is a grassy area. He sits me down on an obvious blanket. "Can I take it off now?", I plead. He puts a finger over my lips, "No wait a minute! We're going to play a game".

I smirk, "I love games. What is it?". I hear rustling. "So here's how we play. I'll put something in your mouth and you have to guess what it is. I promise it won't be anything nasty like bugs, ok?", he giggles. I sigh, "Fine, you better not!".

I hear him open something, "Open up!", he says. I slowly open my mouth and he pops something in. Chew. Chew. Chew. Swallow.

"Hmm.....is it.....A marshmallow?", I guess. He claps his hand, "Correct! Next!". He opens another bag and I open my mouth. He pops something in. Chew. Chew. Chew. Swallow.

"Um.....chocolate covered pretzel!", I say enthusiastically. "Yes! Next!", Sam replies. I open up my mouth as I hear him open something else up. He puts something in my mouth. This one is weird. Chew..... Chew..... Chew.... Swallow.

"I....I really don't know", I say, defeated. Sam laughs and claps his hands, "Haha! It's a strawberry yogurt covered raisin!". My jaw drops, "How in the hell am I supposed to guess that!", I joke. He laughs, "I don't know but I'm sure you'll be able to guess this".

Sam leans in and kisses me passionately. He grabs the back of my head and tugs my hair lightly, causing a moan to escape my lips. He pulls away. "Hm.... something..... sweet..... something.... irresistible.....oh I know! Samsquatch lips!", I giggle. He leans in again and kisses me softly, "Correct".

He takes off my blindfold slowly and sets it down. I look around. Trees all around us. The woods? "Jeez Sam, if you wanted to kill me you didn't have to take me 45 minutes outside of town", I joke. He laughs and stands up. "Follow me", he calls over his shoulder as he runs away. I chase after him.
