Chapter 2

ALEX:

We reached Sam's house when it was dawn, although I

wasn't sure if San was honest with me, not until I saw a

woman which I had thought to be her mother sitting

outside on the stairs, palms in her chin, with a worried

expression on her face, and an older man, though not

too old, sitting beside her comforting her,

"Are those

your parents?"

, I asked trying to confirm my suspension,

Sam smiled and nodded, but her face went down again,

"I guess this is goodbye then, will I ever see you again?"

,

She asked looking down, I smiled and raised her chin,

"If we'll meet again then we will, but if not..."

, I winced

at the probability of not being able to see this pretty

face again so I just stopped midway. I rode spirit to the place where her parents were and then I came down

and helped her come down, but her mother quickly

jumped up from where she sat and shouted,

'Sam!!'

, I

and Sam practically bolted at the pitch of her voice, I

smiled and looked over at Sam's father, who was

wearing a blank expression on his face, I took it as me

not being welcome here, and while Sam was explaining

to her mom what happened, I got on shadow, making

Sam to stop abruptly and hold shadow's leash not

allowing me to move,

"And where do you think you're

going?"

, I looked at her and gestured towards her

father"

, she looked over and quickly left, I was sad at

first but quickly got over It. So as Sam hugged her

mother and the father stood up walking towards them,

I took it as my cue to leave, but as I rode, someone

called out for me,

"Alex!!..."

, I turned back, it was Sam that called me, she and her parents were looking at me,

"... Will you come see me?"

, I was internally glad that

she wanted me to come and see her again, but there

was a problem, I looked at her father, and she followed

my gaze, and then tugged her father making him lean a

little to her level, while I was watching and hopefully

waiting for permission, I looked over to sam's mother

who was smiling at me, I was baffled and didn't know

why but I smiled back and thought it had something to

do with me rescuing her daughter, as Sam was their

only child, as I nodded at her and turned to leave again,

Sam called me back making me to turn towards her,

"Will you?"

, she was asking me if I could come see her

again, I would've loved to but... I looked at her father

and he sighed before nodding, I sighed in relief and

smiled, turning to Sam,

"I would love to. Well I better get going"

, she smiled and her parents whispered a

'thank you' as I left, and with that I rode back to my

house glad that I got to rescue a pretty girl and meet

her parents, this was definitely the best day ever, as if

spirit knew what I was thinking he neighed and I smiled

and said,

"Oh shadow, I can't wait to see her again". I

said as we went home.

SAM:

I watched Alex as he left, it pained me that he had to

leave but I understood and was happy because he was

going to come back to me. But he didn't say when he

was going to come, what if he doesn't, what an I going

to do, and so I made a promise to myself to wait for Alex

outside my house every day, so that I won't miss him

when he comes.

I and my parents went inside the house, and that's

when

my

father started

asking

me

questions,

"Samantha Rogers, would you mind explaining why you

were with a boy?"

, I got up, faced him and replied,

"That boy saved my life, and without him I probably

won't be here, so I would love it if you gave him a little

respect, and besides, he's coming back so why don't

you ask him the question yourself"

, I said smiling

through my words, my father apologized, my mother

must have noticed me smiling when I talked about Alex

because she tapped my father told him something and

then went after me, I practically danced all the way to

my room, singing too, and as I got into the room, I left

the door open, because I knew my mom was also going

to come through that door. I just couldn't take my mind off Alex, his brown curly hair, his sapphire blue eyes, his

physique, and the best part that I loved about him was

that he didn't have any tattoos, I hated tattoos I didn't

know why but I did, alot of guys that came to confess

their feelings to me, I turned them down, nicely if

course because of their tattoos, but Alex was different,

and he had seemed to occupy a place in my mind and

heart. Wait hold on, did I just mention a while ago that I

loved him, of course I was just explaining his features,

but did I really love him.

My mother's knock on my door brought me out of my

thoughts, and I looked over at her, she was smiling as

usual, she had blue eyes, a long gold hair, well shaped

face making her almost irresistible, I got most of my

features like me hear and face from her, but my eyes,

lips and nose were all my dad's and I felt bad for havingmade her worry,

"Can I come in?"

, she asked, I nodded,

and she entered locking the door behind her,

"I'm sorry

for making you guys worry"

, I said as she sat down

beside me,

"it's fine, you're here aren't you, now would

you mind explaining why you were so happy while

talking about that boy?"

, and there it was 'the question'

,

I was trying so hard to avoid was staring at me right in

the face, I couldn't help but blush, my mum instantly

caught it,

"My baby is falling in love, how cute"

, she

teased and my face heated even more, if this goes on,

then my face will be as reddish as a tomato, but I

wanted to be sure,

"Is that word alone sufficient for

describing what I'm feeling, the turmoil in my heart?"

, I

can't stop thinking about Alex his voice, his face, his

eyes that I can get lost in by just looking at it,

"Do you

think about him?"

, my mum asked me snapping me out

of my thoughts, I nodded,

"You definitely love him. I

had that feeling for your father when we were younger"

,

my mum said as she smiled and I could've sworn I saw

her cheeks turn red, I giggled but then it dawned on me,

what if he doesn't love me the way I love him, what if he

walks away after he knows how I feel and I will never be

able to see him again, what will I do?"

, I asked trying to

calm my heart that's trying not to agree with my mind

that Alex might not have feelings for me,

"Well, firstly

you can start by observing him, beginning from

tomorrow, if you notice any signs of him looking at you

or he tries to do something nice for you, then you might

have a chance with him, but as of now, you need to

rest"

, I hugged my mum and kisses her goodnight as

she stood up to leave, she always knew how to make

me feel better even in a bad day, I just hope Alex is

thinking about me right now.
