The morning after the party came faster then Sam had hoped. When she woke up she was covered in Braedan's Hudson Bay blanket. It was the only blanket she ever used when she slept over at his house. She turned over and to her surprise, Nate wasn't there. All of a sudden, this aroma of bacon and eggs came to her nose and Sam dragged her hung-over body out of bed. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Braedan, Corey, Chelsey and Nate were sitting. "Look who's finally up." Braedan said as he flipped some eggs in a pan. "Where's Alex?" Sam asked as she sat on Nate's lap. The four of them pointed to the couch in sync where Alex was passed out and snoring very loudly. Sam nodded her head and curled fit her body perfectly into Nate's arms. "Good sleep?" He asked. "Not really." "Saaaaaaaammmiiieeeeee, would some coffee and chocolate chip pancakes make you feel any better?" Braedan asked. Sam had always adored his cooking and pancakes were her hangover food. It just so happened that almost every single time she had a massive hangover requiring major pancake therapy, Braedan was always there and willing to make them for her. He quickly whipped up a batch and put them in front of her. The big stack of 6 large pancakes were covered in syrup and gone within 20 minutes. Nate had a half of one, but Sam ate the rest. "I don't know how you can eat all that Sam, I really don't" Chelsey said turning away not even able to watch her. "It's an art my lady, requires a lot of skill and a week of surfing to work it off." Sam laughed as she finished of the last pancake. "We should get going." Sam said as she took the plate over to the sink. Nate pushed the chair in and grabbed their stuff that Chelsey had neatly washed, ironed and folded that morning. "Thanks for the awesome party Braedan, although it did get a bit messed up." Nate said. "Anytime bro." Sam and Nate walked out of the house hand in hand and walked back to Sam's house pretty much silently. It was the company of each other that said a million words already. They walked in the door and Echo was sitting on the couch with her gamecube controller in her hand, looking like she had been staring at that screen for eight days. Animal crossing is never a good game to play when bored. "Where's Val?" Sam asked as she walked to the fridge. "Ehhhhh." Echo groaned, no one was really sure what her response was. "How long have you been playing?" Nate asked as he sat down on the couch. "Iunnoo." Echo replied, still not fully answering. "I'm going to take a shower.. I feel like shit." Sam said locking herself in the bathroom. After she was done she walked to her room and slid some pajamas on. She was in no mood to be leaving the house today. After she was finished, Nate took his turn and joined Sam and Echo on the couch. Valexah came home around ten and went straight to her room. Sam knew she was either drunk and or high, but she wasn't ready to argue with her. "When's Dad comming home?" Sam asked Echo as nate slid Lords of Dogtown into the DVD player. "He's not, he said that he'd be home tommorow." "Ahh I see." They got about halfway through the movie and Sam realized that Echo had fallen asleep curled up against her. "Is she asleep?" Nate asked as he noticed Sam looking at her. "Yeah." Nate got up off the couch and carried Echo to her bedroom and placed her on the bed. Val was already passed out, and a vile smell of rum was pouring from her side of the room. Nate walked back to Sam on the couch and laid down. She curled up beside him and they finished watching the movie. When the credits came up, Nate pressed the off button on the remote. The house was dark, the only light was the light of the moon and reflecting ocean comming through the kitchen door and window. Sam turned over so she was facing Nate. Their faces were close to touching and she could feel his breath on her cheek. Her hands made their way to his neck and his fingers were gently grasping her back. He pulled her closer and their lips touched softly, then harder and faster they kissed with travelling hands. Nate turned over so he was now on top of her, their lips kept moving. Sam pulled off his t-shirt and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him more on top of her. Her mind raced and she asked herself something that she had never even began to think about before. Was Nate really.... the one? *sorry for it taking soo long its just i am moving/working right now so its kinda hard to find time but dont worry i will update as much as possible... i wont forget you guys!*
