Love Journey

19. The Theft

Samantha Eden

I find it hard to focus after what Nicole tells me, I begin to piece together moments when her comments about girls were a little less than innocent,

"Yo-You sure it int bothering you?" she asks cautiously,

"Nah nah, I'm cool, just thinking how could we not notice" she laughs at my disoriented expression, I never expected that, "So when did you even realize?"

"Oh, well..." she blushes "Remember that trip I took to Trinidad two years ago?"

"Oh yea, and you came back a little off" I think back to that day "If I remember correctly you didn't want to hang with us for like a week",

"Right so you remember me talking about Miya?" I nod as we grab our stuff and begin to leave the library, "Well she was the first". We walk towards the exit after we collect our bags,

"She was so damn gorgeous, her and her parents were on vacation also and were our neighbors, after we met our parents thought it would be ok for us to chill together" I shake my head, "Well yeaa... she comes over we watch movies for a little bit until"

"Yuh lie!"

"Yuh idiot SHHHHH"

"And all this time you does be saying you're a virgin yea you're a virgin a dick virgin not a pussy virgin" Nicole and I laugh loudly, and after she continues,

"It's not as bad as it seems" she says,

"It's not as bad as it seems??? When you get skin up by a whole girl?"

"Actually she get skin up" she states matter-of-factly and I gasp Nicole? "One night our parents went to some party so we stayed back and hanged in the hotel, we watched a movie and half way through it she was basically in my lap, rubbing my legs, that led to a kiss, which led to me being head first between her legs" I am so shocked and it read plainly across my face,

"Wow"

"Yup and it continued every day until I left"

"EVERYDAY??"

"Yea EVERYDAY including on this amazing beach" she blushes, and I can't believe my ears, "When I came back I didn't know how to say "Hi guys I like pussy" I giggle at her,

"I'm glad you told me, and I'm sorry you did think we'd accept you".

Nikki drives me home in complete silence, lunch was exactly the same, the silence is so deafening I can't take it anymore. We turn into my road and I glance back at Sam's bedroom window when we past, she isn't home. We pull in front of my house and she examines it,

"Well thanks for taking me to Chefette and showing me around" I finally say smiling,

"My pleasure, see you tomorrow" I get out closing the door behind me, "Troy! Lab partners?" she continues as I make my way up the drive way,

"Yea sure" I say back swinging open the door to find my mother standing right at the door,

"Who was that?" she asks with a cheeky smile on her face,

"Uh my friend"

"That's not Samantha" my mother pouts, she enjoyed the idea of Sam and I too much,

"No, that's not Sam" I say in annoyance walking past her, almost an entire day I didn't think about her.

I close my door behind me and I settle into my bed, I like my room here much bigger than my last room and mostly empty, just waiting for new memories to be made. Memories which my mind unfortunately decides Samantha needs to be the focal point. Nikki is going to be my new partner and I'll do great without Sam, I hope. I'm going to miss her concentration face, it is so adorable, as her face crinkles as she patiently carries out a task. Pretending I didn't like her was much harder than I thought it would be, much harder than pretending I didn't with Tiff. Yes I love Tiffany but it is different with Sam, I thought of her of every moment even when I didn't notice my mind would drift to her. Frankly it is annoying, as my thoughts muddle together I know what I have to do.

Why can't I get you off my mind?

I spend all of my time

Waiting,

Thinking,

Hoping,

Wondering, where you are,

What you're doing,

If you're thinking about me

And even if this world stopped and life ceased

I'm sure my subconscious would bring you to my mind again,

Like a bee to a flower

Our beings met in one instance of life

And they remain

In an unbroken chain

Extending throughout life

Which brings me back to moments;

Moments where you and I are one.
