Suck it and see

It knocked quietly on the door, she had a look on her watch, who would come to them that late?
 She looked at her man beside her who looked at the door, then got up and while walking past the couch where they were watching a movie, he stroke loving over her shoulder and murmured a "I'll have a look hun" before he went to the door.

A tall guy, muscular with beard and from what Alex could see, pretty tattooed, opened the door. Alex was smaller than the guy, who looked more curious than pissed because he interrupted.
 "Hi, I'm Alex, a...friend of Abby and Sam..I know it's late and normally it's not my manner to just go to other peoples home and-"
 But in that moment Samantha appeared behind the man in the door and softly took the man's arm away from the doorframe, which he had put there to make sure Alex would keep out. He could understand the guy, obviously Samanthas boyfriend, Alex also wouldn't be keen on strangers in his home.

"It's ok Max. He's my celebrity crush" she grinned and gave her boyfriend a kiss on his cheek, who then laughed and opened the door wider. "Oh yes, I remember. I can probably sing your albums backwards by now, thanks to her" he said friendly, he seemed likeable and even though Alex was a straight guy he had to admit, this man, maybe a little older than himself, was damn hot and good looking.

"What's your problem Alex?" she asked. He knew where she lived because after the promised concert he had driven her home first before ending the night at his, together with Abby.

"I...it's Abby...she's been acting strange...and I hoped you would know more..." "Well...why don't we meet for a coffee tomorrow and-"
 "I'm leaving for two weeks tomorrow night and I need to sort this out...I know it's late and...please I really need your help, I know you know what's going on"

Sam sighed quietly "You're right, of course I know..." she looked at her boyfriend who noded and let Alex in.

"It's alright, I have to get some sketches done anyways" he said, gave his girlfriend a kiss on her cheek and left to another room.

"Wow...I didn't expect him to leave you with me" Alex said smiling as he followed Sam into the kitchen where she sat down on a chair at the table, he doing the same. "Well...he knows you're no competitive" she grinned "Do you want something to drink?"
 "No thank I'm fine"
 A silence grew between them.
 "Alight, you're here because of Abby" Sam said and Alex noded slowely.
 "I just...I actually feel a little stupid for bothering you...but -"
 "It's ok, I'm actually glad you came here, I also of course noticed that she...was a little distant maybe"
 "After the concert I thought everything was fine...I mean we've been fine but then after it she...just didn't want to see me really and I don't know...I mean..did I do anything wrong or did I already manage to hurt her..not that we're a couple or so...but I mean..I really do like her...a lot...and...please tell me you know what's going on" he said sounding truly desperate.

Sam gave him a smile "I really can't believe that Alex Turner sits here in my kitchen, asking for advice, if you told me that like two months ago I would have said you'd be insane" Alex also smiled while Sam sighed "Well...I know her longer than you of course...and just to make that clear, you made nothing wrong really. She...well...she might be a little complicated sometimes...and I'm sure you'll understand when you know her better- I mean you want to get to know her better, right? You're not fuckbuddies or so? - Oh god did I just really say that?!"

Alex had to laugh, he liked Samantha, she was truly a work of art herself. "Yes, I do, and no, we're not. Well from my side we're not fuckbuddies or whatsoever."
 Sam smiled "That's good. Really. Well I'm not sure if I can help you...you have to figure out why she's behaving like that."
 "I'd love to, but she's not answering my calls or anything else and I don't want to get to your University to wait there for her...I mean...she wouldn't like to be confronted like that. But I just don't know what I did wrong...I mean..."
 he stopped and looked at Sam who bit her bottomlip, as if she wasn't sure whether to say something or not, but for sure, she knew something.
 "Please Samantha" Alex said, looking at the young womans eyes "Please...I know you know what I mean...help me and I'll fix whatever I did wrong" in that moment Sam saw Alex, not the Image he built up in the public. She saw that he really ment it serious, he really wanted Abby.
