Love Rivals 5
SAM:
I woke up feeling heavy in my head, but then I felt something warm around my waist, and behind me, I looked down and found a pair of hands around me, I freaked out and trued to escape but then I felt the person sleeping behind me, so I gently turned around to see who was with me, I met a sleeping face of Alex and I was both astounded and happy, a kind of joy I never experienced before, I squealed inside, Alex just slept by my side, how? But then I remembered that he came yesterday and I passed out on seeing him, I'm glad he didn't leave, this made me love him even more, my gaze EBT towards his lips, and I felt the sudden urge to kiss them, but I decided not to, as I was busy admiring him, he woke up, startling me in the process, to the point I kissed him, I was shocked and I moved away, I saw him smiling, and I wondered I he liked the kiss, "Good morning, Sam", he said, I smiled and replied him, He let go of me and I felt empty, I wanted him to hold me again, but this time, we would be cuddling each other, disappointed I stood up making way for him to also do thesame, "Where's mom and dad?", I asked, noticing the house being awfully quiet, "They actually went to meet my horse, and spend some time with him, I nodded, we went to see them but realized they weren't there, I looked up at Alex worried, but he smiled, "Maybe they took it out on a stroll", he said but I knew he was also worried, he made me feel relaxed even when he was worried, I don't know how he does it, but I love that about him. Just then, it dawned on me that it was just the two of us that are going to be in the house, alone, I was both anxious and excited, he seemed to be too, so he held me, and took me inside the house saying that I should rest, I told him I was fine and he left me, "So, now what?", I asked looking at him, he was looking towards the hills, and I didn't think he would be more cute, but then he looked at me and our eyes locked, "I don't know, you?", I didn't know what to respond, I was feeling a weird movement in my insides, just by looking at his eyes, but then, he moved closer, I was starting to freak out, so I slowly retraced my steps until I hit a pole, he kept coming closer, I saw his eyes move from my eyes to my lips, and I froze, was he going to kiss me?, he stopped when our faces were only inches apart, I didn't know what was wrong with me, wasn't this what I wanted?, I thought to myself as he leaned in to kiss me, I pushed him away, and he seemed to recover himself, I felt stupid just for doing that, now he is going to hate me, "I'm sorry, I guess I went too far", I hated myself for not kissing him, "Alex..." I tried to say, but he cut me off, "It's okay, Sam I made a mistake", he turned to leave but I held him back, if I let him leave, there's apart of me that's scared he won't ever come back, so as I held his hand I thought he would turn back, but he just stood, not saying anything. Just then, Shadow was heard at a distance, and I knew that he was going to leave soon, as I was about to say something, he said, "I came here for two things, but I guess I'll only do one, Chelsea wanted to come over with me, but I didn't let her, I told her I would tell you to come see her, her birthday is a few days from now, and I wanted you to come see her as her birthday gift, that is...", he looked back smiling, "...if you want", I felt him hold my hand tighter, just before he left it, "I would love to", my parents were getting closer and Alex was moving farther away from me, "Alex..." I called and ran to him, he smiled and looked back, "Bye Sam, see you on Chelsea's birthday. I'll come by to pick you up so we can go", I was sad he left I knew he smiled but he was hurt inside, I made him feel that way, I feel so stupid that I just couldn't move, I just watched him, greet my parents, got on his horse and went home. I ran inside thinking of how to make it up to him, cause I feel that my actions today might ruin my chance to be with Alex, I had to fix this, but how?, and then it hit me, Chelsea's birthday party, I'll make it up to him then, I smiled and the weird movement in my stomach started, my parents came and asked me how the day went.

ALEX:
'I feel so stupid, how could I take advantage of her when she was vulnerable, she pushed me away so now she thinks I'm trying to play her, I don't want her to think that of me, maybe she hates me now, I knew I was going to mess this up before it even started', I thought to myself as I rode home, I couldn't stop thinking about her, I was just waiting for Chelsea's birthday to arrive, so that I can tell her how I feel.
I reached home, Chelsea was already outside, she ran to me on seeing me, "So, is she coming?", she asked her face beaming, I smiled and nodded, she squealed and jumped, danced and yelled yes, I'm glad she didn't ask me when sam was coming. I took shadow to the stable and went with Chelsea to the house, Chelsea told my parents the good news, they looked at me, and I just nodded, but I knew what those looks were about, I thought of telling Sam about my feelings but the thought that she'd reject me like she did at her house, just the thought made me shiver, so I thought it would be best if I ignored her and forget all this ever happened, I'm only going to her house because of Chelsea, I managed to convince my mind, but how long would it take before the truth reveals itself.
