Chapter seven

Laura's POV

I was excited today, Ken was taking me out for shopping, which I was slowly getting used to because its been what we've been doing since I packed into thier house. He's been so attentive and Aunt Jessie, my new Mum has been very caring and supportive.

Don't get me wrong, no one can replace my mommy, but I know she'd have wanted me to be happy, she'd want me move on and be happy.

I was putting on my trousers, when the home phone started ringing. I picked up,,, it was Sam, we haven't talked since my parents death, I pick up.

"Hey bestie." He said once I picked.

"You're bad, you know? haven't even cared to check up on me."

"I'm so sorry, I heard about parents, can we meet?"

"Yeah, we can. Where?"

"Pepperoni, meet me there now, I'm close."

"Alright, I'll be there in 20mins." I hung up.

I wore my top, shoes, grabbed my purse and went out the house, headed for pepperoni. Didn't tell Ken, because he had a special problem with Sam, and I really needed to see Sam. I took a cab, since I didn't have a car of my own. I walked in exactly 20mins and I spotted Sam at the end of the room. I walked up to him, and sat down.

"I'm so sorry, I haven't been able to reach you for the past weeks now." He said.

"Its ok, so why you called? what you wanted to say to me?"

"I just wanted to catch up, and let you know I still love you, and I still want to be more than just your best friend."

"Sam, I've told you earlier, I don't see you that way ok? You're my friend and I love you as a friend."

"But you love him that way?"

"Who?" I asked.

"Ken of course, do you love him that much? "

"Yes, I do love Ken, and I'll be very happy if you accepted that."

"Will that make you happy? If I stay just friends?"

"Yes Sam, you matter a lot to me, I don't wanna lose you, you're my best friend, only friend."....

Sam kept silent for sometime. "Sam, please say something." I pleaded.

"Okay, I'll be just your best friend and be happy for you but always remember, that if he doesn't treat you right, I'm always here for you."

"Oh Sam, you're so sweet, but gotta get back to Ken, he's waiting for me."

"Ok."he stood up, pulling me up with him said"friends hug"and he pulled me into a bone hug.

We just stood there for minutes hugging each other. Before I broke the hug. "Sam call me, bye." I kissed his cheek and left.

I was so happy, I have finally known my feelings for Ken. He's treated me so right for the past weeks that it was impossible not falling in love with him. I was finally ready to define our relationship, I am even ready for him to make love to me.

Waving a cab over, I got in headed home and prepared to let Ken know my feelings, I'll tell him how much I love him, and I hope he loves me back. But if he doesn't, I can always wait.

I was home now, I went up to Ken's room and knocked on the door.

After some minutes, he opened the door.

"What? " he asked. please don't be mad.

"I'm sorry, we couldn't go shopping again, I stuttered "its because I- "

"Its ok, you don't need to explain to me. " He stopped me before I could complete what I was saying.

"So you not mad." I asked.

"No, I'm not.".. He answered..

"So you don't wanna know why I'm late?" I asked.

"No, you don't answer to me, you can go wherever you want. " He said.

"So may I come in? " I asked, already stepping in. "No, you may not. " He said.

"But I want to sleep here with you today. " I pouted,trying to look cute.

"No Laura, you can't, you have a room, sleep there and from today henceforth, don't come to my room again. "

This is not my Ken, something's definitely wrong somewhere, and I'll find out what that is. I held back my tears, turning around I went back to my room. This is gonna be a very long night.....
