My heart jumps to my throat when I catch a familiar scent. 
Why does it appear around me so often these days? 
I turn around looking for the owner frantically but I can't spot them. 
-
"How do you know me?" 
"How can I not?" 
"You're quite popular, I'm not, so I had no idea you'd be into me." 
"I'm not into you. I just like making friends." 
"Yeah sure, like you haven't been practically undressing me with your eyes." 
"I have not been doing that!"

"Sam?" I ask as I don't feel him do any kind of movement for some time. 


"Yes baby?" He says sneaking his hands under my top, thumbs making little circles on my bare waist. My stomach does a somersault at both his words and actions. 


"I'm dyeing my hair with Jim tomorrow." He slowly brings his head up looking at me through his lashes and I lean down to kiss his lips and he smiles cutely before tilting his to deepen the kiss. He unwraps his arms from around me and swings his leg over me so he's on top of me. 


"I'll dye mine too." He says before quickly kissing me again. I moan when he tugs at my lower lip and wrap my arms around his neck pulling his even more closer, if that's even possible now. 


"Can I ask you something?" He asks pulling away and resting his head on my chest again. 


"Why did you not wanna be together?" I ask, not knowing what words to use. 


"I told you. I was scared. Commitment is scary."
