the night

That night, when Penny decided to go to bed, she got ready and changed in her ensuite before getting into bed. Sam went to check on her and found that a single bedside lamp was on and the Bed had Penny reading a book.

"Huh, you really like books, don't you" Sam chuckled

Penny looked up from her book "What do you mean by that" she enquired

Sam looked around onto to see a large bookshelf how did he not see that earlier

"Well, for starters, you have a full book shelf there with books in alphabetical order. You always have a book on you and you spend your free time reading" he smirked

"Ok, fine, yeah, i do like books. There just so interesting and such" she replied looking back at her books

"Well, I guess I'll leave you with your book. Goodnight Penny" he said gently closing her door

"Night Sam" he heard through the door

...

Sam suddenly woke up to the sound of screaming. Looking at his phone he saw it was just past 2 am

"Penny? Are you alright?" he asked as he opened the door. Penny was currently thrashing around in her sleep crying things Sam couldn't understand

"Penny, it's ok, Penny. Penny wakes up!" he said holding her arms down to stop her from hurting herself

Penny's eyes suddenly opened as she looked at Sam. Sam wasted no time in sitting down and holding the woman close to himself

"Shh, it's ok Penny, it was only a dream" he muttered into her golden hair. Eventually Penny had stopped crying and he was about to leave when he heard Penny

"Please don't go" she whimpered as Sam looked at her. She looked so much like a scared child than anything he had seen before

"Ok, i'll stay" he said softly as he laid down with her and brought Penny close into his arms nesseling her into his muscular chest.

Penny was quick to fall asleep however Sam laid in wake releasing that his crush was sleeping in his arms against his chest

"She looks so peaceful tho, nothing like the tough front she puts on each day. Could this be the real Penny?" sam thought to himself

Sam wiped the thought from his mind as he closed his eyes making sure that Penny was safe in his arm. Just before he fell asleep, he traced his hands under her shirt on her bare back coming across some marks. Sam couldn't tell what they were but they seemed to be scars of some sort

Sam quickly removed his hand from her back before laying a quick kiss on her forehead

"Goodnight Penny" he said closing his eyes

"I love you"
