For the next couple of days after that incident at his house, I thought about what Sam had said and I figured that maybe I was being a little unfair with him. I realised that I should have given him a chance to explain what happened in the beginning, and then maybe things wouldn't have got as far as it had. But, stupid me had to be in a mood and act like a girl who can't get her own way. At least that's what my friend Emma told me the day before. She said I should just get over it and give Sam a call. Well, I decided I would do, but I phoned Adam instead. I explained that I really wasn't ready for another relationship, and I was still in love with Sam, but hoped we could be friends. You know, he told me exactly the same thing that Emma did. Bitch! I'm sure they consulted each other behind my back.
Anyway, I thought about giving him a ring on the Saturday, but then thought that maybe it was too soon. I didn't want him to think that I'd given into him so easily. I know it's stupid. I didn't fancy going out anyway, so I just decide to stay in and watch a film that I hired from the video store that afternoon. 'Troy,' starring Brad Pitt. Oh Yeah, now who wouldn't like to wake up with that every morning? Now that's a dream. I bought myself a bottle of wine and sat in front of the TV with some popcorn, getting myself comfortable on the couch with a blanket. I had the fire on, and it looked romantic. Now just someone to share it with would've been nice. But I was alone, again. I was used to it anyway; after all, I had plenty of experience doing this when I was feeling sorry for myself a few weeks before.
Halfway through the film I heard a knock at my door. I reluctantly got up and pressed pause on the film. I went to open the door. Sam
"Hey. Glad I got the right house." He smiled.
"You don't give up do you? I think you're stalking me." I said seriously, although I couldn't help but smile inside.
"Are you complaining?"
"Yes."
"So shut the door."
I did. He knocked again.
"Yes?" I asked. This time I couldn't help but smile a little.
"You answered it."
"So?"
"If you knew it was me then why did you open it?"
"Because you knocked and I didn't want to be rude."
He sighed. I wanted him to beg for forgiveness, even though he had done so numerous times. I must admit, even in that situation, you couldn't help but notice how god dammed sexy he was, and how his eyes sparkled, even in the dark.
"Yeah ok, I asked for it." He finally said. I smiled. "So are you gonna let me in?"
"Do you think I should?"
"Maybe, do you want to?"
"Don't know."
He looked down at the floor. "Ok but make a decision quick 'cause I'm not prepared to stand out here all night. It's cold."
"You think that would bother me Sam?"
"Yes I do."
I paused for a while. "Okay you're right it would, come in, but I don't know what you're expecting."
"I don't expect anything."
I walked back into my lounge and Sam followed behind me, shutting the door. He looked around then sat down.
"Nice place."
"Thanks, it does okay for me. Do you want something to drink? I'm on wine at the moment, but I've got something softer if you prefer."
"Yeah I'll have a glass of that wine, but only one, I'm driving." I brought another glass in and sat down on the couch. "Is this what you like to do on Saturday nights when on your own, watch Troy with a box of popcorn and a bottle?"
"Well I didn't fancy going out and I figured Brad Pitt was good enough." He looked kind of hurt by that comment and I felt a little guilty. Maybe he was upset that I didn't think about him. I decided to change the subject. "So anyway you can tell me how you got my address first, and then you can tell me what you're doing here." I spoke up.
"I got your address from those friends you were with a few weeks ago. I saw them in Pleasure tonight and hoped you would be there. I was upset that you weren't, so anyway I had to beg and plead but they eventually gave in so I drove here. I just came to see you."
"Okay." I thought for a second. "Do you want to finish watching this with me? You could help me with the popcorn."
He smiled and agreed. We got comfortable, me on the right and him on the left. A safe distance was between us and I pulled the blanket over us. He smiled at me and relaxed. We carried on watching and talking about the film. He said he'd seen it before but he didn't mind seeing it again. I offered him another glass of wine and he accepted. I really wanted to get him pissed then he wouldn't be able to go home and he could stay the night, but he didn't have to know my intentions did he? But then I wondered if it was too soon to be thinking about sex with him again.
He carefully and slowly moved himself closer to me, eventually putting his right hand on my thigh. He smelled so good, so hot. His hand felt good and he rubbed it further up my crotch when I didn't object. His put his and my glass down on the coffee table and moved the popcorn away. He turned to face me and moved closer. I wanted him to kiss me. He whispered into my ear.
