What's Wrong With Milkshakes?

Part 31

"Why are you here then?" I look at Sam.
"I heard what happened, Pels in a bad state, and I wanted to make sure you're okay. Listen, I'm not trying to make you feel bad for what you said to Perri, if its going to work between the two of you then you'll both make it work." Sam says. He has a sweet side of him I never even knew he had. I want to start crying again. Hes being too nice, I dont deserve this.
"Thanks for looking out for both of us, but I dont think it will work out. I havent known him for long, and hes already my boyfriend - at least I think he is." I say, not meeting Sam's eye.
"Lexi, you and Perri are perfect for each other. Dont let anyone let you believe you're not." Sam says, taking my face with his hands, making me look at him. I hug him quickly as if to say thanks.
"I'm going to go back to the hotel, let Pel know I'm there." I say to him walking out of the door.
"He'll be there straight after I tell him!" Sam laughs, walking in the opposite direction to me.

My head is spinning from all the stress, all the thoughts, about Perri, about Sam, about everything that's happened today. I like back on the bed in mine and Perri's hotel room, staring at the ceiling, thinking about all that's happened. I think I've nearly fixed things with Brooke, so that's a good thing, although I've ruined mine and Perris relationship in the process. And then theres Sam - the way he looked at me, as if he was looking right into my soul, was something I'd never forget.

No one, not even Perri, had made me feel the way Sam did today.
