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!"

"You do know that you're not allowed to go out in the cold without a jacket, right?" Sam asks resting his head on top of mine with with loose arms around my shoulder. 


"Then you shouldn't have come out and you shouldn't have pushed me off like that too." He tightens his hold around my neck and shoulders, pretending to choke me and I make a weird choking noise before hanging my head down and sticking my tongue out. 


He laughs before unwrapping his arms and I turn around smiling like an idiot. 


"Do you know my favourite song?" I ask ruffling his hair and then combing them. 


"Yeah, you told me. 'Mirrors' was it?" I nod and he shrugs acting cocky. 


"Can you sing it for me?" I ask him softly. 


I know he has a great voice, he'd nail it. 


"I love your voice, you sound so beautiful." 


"I'm not kidding. You could be a great singer. Try it out once."
