If this isn't Awkward...

I pull my jacket on over my body. There is a blizzard outside and I am going to be prepared. I don't have a car so I have to walk to work. It's only across the street though so it's not too far.

I just hope that I don't run into Sam on my way out. I'm not sure what he was thinking when he kissed me last night. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I kissed him back. But I do know that it would feel really awkward seeing him. It's going to have to happen soon. I am his unofficial caretaker. But... I just don't feel like it right now.

I open the apartment door and take a step into the cold hallway. I wrap my jacket tighter around me before locking the door and heading to work. As I head down the first flight of stairs I spot Sam coming out of his apartment. I freeze for a moment and then duck behind a garbage bin that was shoved in the corner by some lazy person who was unwilling to take it out.

I watch as he makes his way towards the stairs and heads down to the main level. He seems so perfect for some reason. It must be the lighting. His hair seems nicely done and his arms look very strong. Everything about him seems to be drawing me in. I'm not sure why. Like I said, it must be the lighting. I've never been so attracted to him before. For a second I think that maybe it has to do with the kiss last night; but I shrug that off and wait for him to leave.
After I am sure he is gone  I stand up and make my way to work.

My shift is slow. The day drags on endlessly. I work at an ice cream shop as a busser. I wash tables and bring dishes to the dishwasher after everyone leaves. Talk about a boring job. I do the same thing all day -- clear tables, wash tables, then set tables -- over and over again. I make mental notes throughout the day of my plans for the future of Unknown. The story is coming along great and we have just over a month before the contest is closed.

Finally, the end of the day comes. I sign out and my shift officially ends. The day was long and tiring and all I want to to do is lay in bed for hours. After my short but cold walk home I open my apartment door and quickly crawl underneath my blankets in bed. There, I fall asleep for a couple hours.

I wake up to find that the blizzard has died down. This makes me happy as I stand up to make myself some hot cocoa. Nothing is better then hot cocoa to brighten your day and warm you up. I sit near the window with my cocoa and begin to think about things.

Sam crosses my mind. If I think about it I don't really know that much about him. I don't know much about why his ex wife hurted him, I don't know why he doesn't talk, I don't know why he doesn't perform anymore, I don't know anything. And yet I feel like I know everything about him. He confuses me sometimes. He can be so spontaneous and yet so predictable. I'm not making sense anymore. My thoughts are getting all tied up. Something about him kissing me has changed the way I think about him. Or maybe it has to do with me kissing him. Why did I do that? Is it because I have feelings for him? Do I have feelings for him? I think... I think I do! I... I have to go talk to him!

I get excited as I make my way down the stairs. I'm not sure what I think I am going to say but I have a feeling the words will just come out. In the moment I will know what I want to say to him.

I get to his apartment door and see a medical bag sitting near the entrance which is slightly open. I hear something inside that really bothers me. It sounds like a girl giggling... I'm confused. Is another girl in his apartment?

"Sam you're so funny!" Her voice giggles.
