My Life with O2L

Chapter 13

When everyone is finished, I get all their dirty plates and go to do the dishes. I stand in front of the sink, cleaning the plates and thinking about my new life with the guys, when somebody interrupts me. A pair of arms snake around my waist and his chin rests on my shoulder. I freeze. The he presses his lips to my cheek and says, "Hey beautiful."
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Sam. A smile spreads across my face. "Hey." I say turning to face him. "You know I'm doing dishes, right?"
"Yeah." He says. "You almost done?"
I raise an eyebrow. "Yeah. Why?"
He grins. Aw. Sam is so adorable when he smiles. "Well, when you get done, I was wondering if you'd want to go for ice cream. You know, since SOMEONE didn't make dessert." He winks.
"Hm," I say, teasingly. "It depends. Would it be just the two of us, or all of the guys, too?"
"Just us. None of those phycos. That is, if you don't mind, Miss Caylen?"
"Of course I don't mind, Mr. Pottorff." I wink at him, no longer able to keep up the act. "Just let me finish the dishes and I'll tell Jc where I'm headed."
"Alright," Sam says. "I'll leave you to it then?"
"Yep." I say. He pecks my cheek and goes back to join the guys. I turn back around to finish the dishes. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop smiling. My first date with Sam! Take that Connor!
When I finish, I head back into the living room where the guys are laughing. Sam sees me and jumps up. "You ready?" He asks. I nod. "Let's go."
"Ooh!" Ricky says. "Salex's first date! Is it official or is it just two 'friends' hanging out?"
I grin and roll my eyes, like the dork that I am. But I turn to Sam. "Is this an official date?"
Sam grins. "That depends. You want it to be?"
I blush. "I'm not the one who asked you out am I? It's up to you."
"Yes. It's officially our first date." He says.
The guys are grinning like complete goofballs. I feel the heat washing over my face. Sam grabs my hand and says, "Come on. Let's get out of here."
"Sounds good," I say. I wave by to the guys, and head toward the front door.
Behind me, I hear Jc yell, "Be careful you two!"
"We will be!" I yell back. "Bye!"
"Bye!" The guys chime.
Sam and I get in the car, and he pulls out of the driveway. Then Sam laces his fingers through mine and says, "So I know this cute little ice cream place by the pier. It's amazing."
"Sounds like an amazing first date." I say grinning at him.
Before either of us say anything else, Shake It Off by Taylor Swift comes on the radio. Sam's eyes widen and he turns up the volume. "This is my jam!" He yells. He starts singing, half dancing as he drives. "Come on, Alex!" He yells at me. Next thing I know, both of us are jamming out to Taylor Swift. While she might not be my favorite artist, Taylor's music is definitely catchy.
Soon, we, or should I say Sam, park in a small parking lot next to a bunch of cute shops, with a great view of the ocean. After taking in the view, Sam turns to me. "You ready?" He asks. I nod. He opens his door, and I start to do the same, but he says, "Hold on, I got it." He climbs out and jogs around to my side. He opens the door, bowing slightly. "Your majesty."
I laugh, and get out. "Why thank you my good sir."
Sam grabs my hand. "Anything for such a beautiful girl, like yourself."
I blush and giggle. "Sam, we need to stop being such cheesy dorks."
We laugh. "Okay." He says. The two of us walk to the shop on the side of the building. "This is it."
Sam opens the door, and we walk in. I take a deep breath. The air smells sweet. Almost like a candy shop. The shop has simple little tables for seating, a chalkboard with the menu, and a little glass counter. Sam was right; this place is cute.
The place is dead, with the exception of the old lady behind the counter. Sam and I walk up and look at the menu. Instantly, my eyes are drawn to the chocolate fudge and homemade cookies and cream. Both sound really good.
"Know what you want?" Sam asks, looking at me. My expression must show my dilemma because Sam laughs. "Indecisive?"
I nod. "Chocolate fudge or cookies and cream?"
Sam grins. "I was gonna get the cookies and cream, so you can get the chocolate fudge, and I'll let you try a bite of mine. Deal?"
I smile and nod. "You're brilliant, you know that?"
Sam laughs. "I'll order. You stay here."
I grin. "Okay."
A few minutes later, Sam walks toward me with out orders.
"You want to eat in here or do you want to go walk around?"
"Go walk around." I say. The two of us walk along the boardwalk, side by side, eating our ice cream in silence. As I finish mine up, I start to shiver. It doesn't help that I dk t have a jacket.
Sam notices and says, "Here." He drapes his jacket over my shoulders. It's one of those stereo typical situations, but the gesture is sweet.
"Thanks," I say. We walk for a few more minutes before throwing away our empty ice cream containers. Sam takes that opportunity to grab my hand. I blush.
After awhile, I look at Sam and say, "My legs hurt."
He chuckles and responds, "Then let's sit." He gestures toward one of the benches nearby. When we sit, the silence continues. Sam just plays with my hand. I watch him.
Suddenly, Sam stops and looks at me, his mouth open as if he was about to say something. Then he shuts his mouth, and begins to blush furiously.
"What?" I ask him.
Sam shakes his head and says, "Nevermind. It was nothing. Just a stupid thought."
"No, it wasn't nothing!" I argue. "Come on tell me."
He looks at me and takes a deep breath. "Alex, will you be my girlfriend?"
I feel my eyes widen. I mean, Sam is amazing; I really like him. But there's still that one part of me. Even though he promised he wouldn't hurt me, there's hesitation. The question lingers in the air too long. Before I can make up my mind, Sam looks down, embarrassed.
"See?" He asks. "It was stupid."
"No!" I say quickly. "Yes! I mean-" I falter. Sam chuckles a little bit at my confusion. I see the hurt in his eyes, though. That's when I make my decision.
"I'll be your girlfriend." I say. Sam looks up at me, confused. "I'll be your girlfriend."
His face lights up. "Really?"
"Sam, I'm 100% sure."
He looks at me concerned. "What about the other night on the roof? You said-"
I cut him off. "Sam, you promised you would never hurt me. I believe you. There's nothing more to it. No buts. I'm sure."
Sam smiles. I feel myself grinning, too. He pushes some hair out of my face and places his fingers under my chin. Both of us lean in, our lips finding their way towards each other. They brush, softly at first. As the kiss deepens, we sick into each other. It feels so good; so right.
Finally, I pull back. Not that I really wanted to; more like I had to. Me and Sam both were catching our breath. His fingers lace back into mine.
He smiles back at me and says, "We should probably get back before Jc kills me."
I nod, giggling. "Wouldn't want that, now would we?"
The two of us head back to the car. Sam opens the car door for me, and I climb in. When he gets back in the car, I turn on the heat. Then Sam pulls out of the parking lot and we're on our way back home.
"When are we going to tell Jc?" I ask.
Sam sighs. "I don't know. First things first though, I have to write my will. Just in case. Better to be prepared."
I laugh. "You'll be fine. As long as you don't hurt me, and you promised you wouldn't, you should be fine. Just fine."
He raises an eyebrow. "You sure? I mean, I know I'm one of his best friends, but you're his daughter. Even though he just adopted you last week, he'd pick you over me in a heartbeat."
I roll my eyes at his nervousness. "I'm a hundred percent sure. But, if you want, we can hide it from him for a week. So you have time to prepare your will."
Sam has a panicked look on his face. "I thought you said there was no need for that!"
I just about die laughing. "It was a joke, Sam. You'll be fine. But is it okay for the other guys to know?"
"Yeah, as long as they promise not to snitch."
We pull into the driveway. Both of us get out of the car. Before we head inside, I give Sam a quick kiss.
"Thanks Sam. I had fun." I say, grinning.
"I had fun, too." He replies. Then we head inside. "I'm gonna go find the guys."
I nod. Nobody's downstairs, so I head off to my room. When I close the door, I slide down the back of the door and smile. I'm just really happy. Next thing I know, I'm giggling. Sam asked me to be his girlfriend. This has to be a freakin' dream!
I pinch myself several times, trying to snap out of it. It doesn't work. This is all real. In just this one week with the guys, my life has turned around completely. A week ago, if you told me I was gonna be adopted by youtubers, have friends, and a boyfriend, I probably would've told you to "get off the crack, and get back to reality". This is just too good. Too fucking good. But good god, don't I love it. And now that Sam is my boyfriend? I'm just about to die.
I've just gotten off the floor, when I hear my closet door start to creak. Next thing I know, Jenn and Ricky are jumping out of the closet. I let out a scream and yell, "Oh shit!"
The little fucktards start laughing. My heart is racing. I put my hand over it.
"What is wrong with you two!?!" I ask. "You scared the living daylights out of me!"
They laugh. "We just wanted to see how your date with Sam went. After all, what type of best friends would we be if we didn't IMMEDIATELY see how things went?" Jenn says, plopping down on my bed. "Now, sit and tell us every last detail."
I comply. When I'm done telling them what happened, they gape at me.
"So Salex is for real now?" Ricky asks, excitedly.
I nod. "Yep."
"Yay!" Both of them hug me and congratulate me.
"Thanks," I say, sheepishly.
"So what now?" Jenn asks.
I shrug. "We could watch a movie."
"YASS! Mean Girls is playing tonight!" Ricky says. We cut on my tv and find the channel playing Mean Girls. It was already five minutes into the movie, but we could've cared less. The three of us changed into pajamas. Jenn borrowed some of my stuff cause she didn't originally plan on spending the night. We all lay on my bed; Ricky and Jenn turn me into an Alex sandwich. About halfway through the movie, Ricky and Jenn doze off. Not long afterwards, I follow them, sleep taking over my body.

Sam's P.O.V:
As we walk through the door, I turn to Alex and say, "I'm gonna go find the guys."
She nods and I head upstairs to Kian's room. I don't knock on the door; I just walk in. Kian is on his bed with his headphones on, starring at his computer screen. He doesn't see me, so I walk over to him and take his headphones out. Kian looks up.
"Hey man," he says, sitting up. "How was the date?"
I sit on his bed and smile. "It was awesome. Quiet, at first. But I asked her to be my girlfriend."
He grins. "So I assume it was a yes? I mean, that smile is note what you would have on your face if she said no."
I shake my head and grin. "I don't know man. Even if she said no I think I'd be smiling. It'd be an honor to have my heart broken by her. Alex Caylen. The definition of perfection."
Kian shakes his head a rolls his eyes. "Good god, Sam. You've been with her for, what, an hour? And she already has you talking like this? You've turned into a sap."
He had a point. I shake my head. "Whatever. What do you want to do?"
Kian shrugs. "I was just watching the video Alex made on her new channel. You wanna watch?"
"Sure." Then we watch as Alex lists 25 facts about herself. When the video is over, we hear voices next door, in Alex's room. Kian's eyes light up.
"Let's eavesdrop!" The two of us press out ears against the wall and listen as Alex tells somebody about the date. When she's done, Ricky and Jenn start talking about how excited they are about Salex. I can't help but grin and blush.
After that, me and Kian get bored. I go back to my room. For awhile, I go on Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. Then I cut on the tv and start watching Mean Girls. A little over halfway through the movie, I go downstairs to get an Arizona. On my way back upstairs, I hear snoring from Alex's room. I peek my head in. Alex, Jenn, and Ricky are passed out in her bed, Mean Girls playing on the tv. I take a picture of them and post it on Instagram with the caption: the three musketeers are asleep!😴
Before I leave, I give Alex a quick kiss on the forehead. Then I head back to my room, open the Arizona, and relax.
