/Samantha/
When we were both panting and sweating I sank back down next to him, he grabbed me into his arms. I giggled at his expression, he was looking at me like I was some kind of Goddess or something. "That was freaking great Samantha, I'm not kidding, I mean holy shit, are you sure you've never done any of this before?" he asked breathing hard.
"Hmm well there was that one time when....." I trailed off teasingly and he narrowed his eyes at me poking me making me grin and squirm.
"Quick, lets get some sleep before I make you do that to me again, you're gonna need your sleep anyhow, since tomorrow I need to do your back" he said giving me a devilish grin.
I smiled, does that imply I get more that one night? I didn't want to get my hopes up, but I had already had two beautiful evenings with him I wasn't going to be greedy. "I'm gonna fetch the light" he said climbing out of the bed, I moved and went under the covers and then I felt him climb in next to me. I kissed him once more and moved onto my side again, he threw his arms around me and pressed my back tight against his chest. I sighed in happiness, I could die right now and I would be the happiest girl in the world.

I woke in the morning and immediately remembered last night, I grinned and giggled quietly. My body was aching a little but it actually felt great, like a tiny memory of him. I flipped over to see that his side of the bed was vacant again, my heart stopped till I noticed on his pillow there was a folded piece of paper and a yellow flower.
I sat up and smiled running my finger over the waxy petals, yellow tulips were my favourite flowers, his Mom grew them in their back garden. My heart skipped a beat when I thought about him going over to his garden to select me the flower then sneaking back into my house, God he is such a beautiful guy! I took up the note
Samantha,
I've gone to help Matt clean up after the party, his house was a bit of a mess reportedly. Give me a call when you wake up, we need to chat about us being friends and what occurred last night.
Henry
My heart stopped again, we need to talk about last night and us being friends, what the hell? Oh God he was regretting it! I knew what he was going to say, it shouldn't have happened, he didn't like me in that manner, he didn't want a girlfriend, it shouldn't happen again. I couldn't breathe, I knew this was coming so why did it hurt so much? I shook my head trying to clear it, it's ok Samantha everything will work out well and you can still walk away with your best friend but this needs to stop, it can't happen again or the friendship wont be able to get over it.
I crawled out of the bed stretching my body like a cat, my leg and hip muscles were stiff but not painful. I walked into the restroom and stared at myself in the mirror. My hair was sticking up in all places and had a large knot in the back from our exerts last night, and my lips were slightly puffy from all the kissing and I had a massive love bite on my neck. I switched on the shower and stood under it for a long time trying desperately not to get upset. Last night was great and I wouldn't have changed it for the world at least I got to have that forever and still have my best friend.
Once my muscles had relaxed enough I got out and walked back to my bedroom. I decide to call Henry, as I took up my phone I saw I had three new texts, all from Blake.
11:03 pm - I'm truly sorry Jailbait, I genuinely like you and want to try, I promise I wont mention anything about Henry, please call me when you receive this your phone is switched off. x x
1:12am - Please Samantha, can you at least talk to me? I'm going insane! Your phone is still off or maybe your avoiding me? Please call me
10:12am - Samantha, I'm very sorry, please contact me I can get over it I promise, I genuinely think this may work between us x
I frowned, wow he is really into me, I know I like him but not in the way that I like Henry, but I can't keep thinking about Henry, damn it! I need to move on so that things don't get weird and maybe Blake can help me with that. I sighed and pulled on some clothes and laid back on the bed glancing at my phone with Henry's number on the screen, I need to call him and get this straight immediately.
I took a deep breath and hit call, "Hey Samantha bear" he chirped when he answered, he sounded delighted and my heart pinched at the sound. What led to this occurrence? I have no idea how in the hell I ended up falling in love with my very best friend.
"Hey, Henry, how is it going with the cleaning?" I inquired with extreme caution since I had no idea how to begin the difficult and awkward conversation.
He replied to me with a chuckle, "Yeah good, we're nearly through, and good job too, because his Mom's due back in an hour," and I smiled.
Okay, let's get this taken care of as quickly as possible, like ripping off a band aid. I tried to seem assured as I spoke, so I said, "Henry about last night."
I tried to ignore the feelings but he replied with a husky "Yeah," which sent my body into another fit of craziness.
I told him, with a tear rolling down my cheek, "This can never happen again, Henry," but he didn't respond, so I continued with the rehearsed portion of my speech. I wiped the tears from my cheeks as I spoke the following words: "It's going to kill our friendship and I won't allow that, I need you in my life and if this keeps occurring it's going to be too difficult for us to stay friends," I said as I wiped away the tears.
Because the pain was intolerable, I squeezed my fist as tightly as I could and tried to divert my attention to something other than the agony that was trying to suffocate me and kill me. "Henry, I need you to swear to me that this will never happen again. I just couldn't bear it if I had to live without you. I just couldn't "I spoke softly while shutting my eyes, and although he did not respond, I heard him take a trembling breath.
I could hear the anguish in his voice as he apologized to Samantha. He said, "Samantha, okay, I promise, I won't do that again it was my mistake, I shouldn't have," and he was very sorry about what he had done.
