Amber's POV
"Amber!" I was about to close my locker when I heard Mandy called my name.
"So, I think you know who's back.." Mandy started narrowing her eyes as if reading me intently.
"Yeah.. she called me awhile ago." I sighed.
"Hey, what's with the sad frown? Your not happy she's back? Your not mad at her are you? I mean, for leaving like that?"
"No.. Of course not.. It's just.. Sam and I were just about to outdo the issue we have with Shane. Then here comes another one.. It's just.. I don't know.. Mands.."
"What do you mean? Did you talked to Shane?"
"No.. Clark helped us.. We have the picture. Sam and I will post it on our social media accounts so everyone would get the idea before we make everything official. With that, no one would believe Shane.. especially that Clark, Sam and I are in good terms." I explained.
"Oh.. That's great.. So.. please don't take this negatively okay? I just wanna know.. Um.. Do you still have feelings for Al?"
"WHAT!? NO! I love Sam. It's just I'm worried.. Al still called me boo. I don't want to hurt her Mands."
"Well.. I do think that she still has feelings for you. Even back then, It's obvious that she loved you more than you loved her back."
"I love her Mands. But I love her like I love you. Both of you are my best friends."
"Then you tell her that. We'll have a get together party at the beach this Friday night. She wants us to bring any of our friends. Bring Sam. The sooner the better. Don't let her invest more feelings for you. You'll hurt her more if you do. Like you, I love Ally. Alright?"
"Alright."
Mandy's right. Ally was the reason why I came out. She's my first girlfriend. My first kiss. I loved her. But that love wouldn't equal the love that I have for Sam. I have to do this. The sooner the better.
Samantha's POV
Allyson wasn't just a beautiful face. She was able to keep up with the routine in a short amount of time. The team already liked her. She's polite, sweet and kind. There's nothing to hate about her actually. God! There should be! After the practice I decided to stay for awhile to rest. I sat to the nearby bleacher when I saw someone walking in my direction.
"Hi! You're the captain right?" God. Of course she'll talk to me. Ugh.
Be cordial. Be civil. Don't act like a jealous girlfriend.
"Yes, so?" I muttered. Ugh. I just can't help it. She's fucking prettier than me! Every time I look at her I can't help but be jealous. I need Amber. I need her to remind me again that she loves me. Fuck.
"Um. Nothing. I just want to say Hi. Sorry." Allyson added looking a bit scared. Good. Be scared. Ugh. Amber won't like this.
"You already did. Congratulations you got in." I added without any hint of emotion. God what am I doing. She's not doing anything to me. She doesn't even know me.
"Oh okay. Thank you. Your Samantha right?"
Ugh. Just go away please.
"Yeah."
"Can I call you Sam?" She asked with a small smile. God. Don't fucking smile. Does Amber find her smile cuter than mine? Aaarrgh.
"No. Just call me Samantha. I like it that way."
"Oh. Okay. Call me Al or Ally. Whichever you like." She offered genuinely.
"Alright, Allyson. Thanks." I hurriedly packed all my things when Sofi interrupted us.
"Hey you two! Al, you did great! Congratulations! You're part of the team. Did my best friend gave you a warm welcome?" Ugh. I'll kill Sofi.
"Uh y-eah. S-she did." Allyson stuttered then Sofi eyed me questionably.
"Nice meeting you Sofi and Sam, Samantha I mean. I'll go ahead. Oh. If you're not busy this Friday night, please go to the beach. My friends and I will throw a party. My Mom and Dad reserved the area for us. I hope both of you can come. I already invited the team."
"Great! Of course will be there! Right Sam!?" Sofi agreed excitingly.
"Um.. I don't know. I'll check. But thanks." I answered. Was Amber also invited? Will she come? Ugh. Of course she will. Will I loose her. God. She can't take her away from me. If my memory reserves me right, both of them decided not to communicate with each other for almost 4 years right? That's enough time to forget. I hope so. God. I hope so.
"Allyson wait up! Uhh. Are you single?"
Please say no. Please.
"Yes. I am. Why is that?"
Kill me now.
"Uhh.. There's this Guy who would like to get to know you." How can Clark win her if she's into girls. Ugh.
"Oh.. Uh. I don't know. I came back here for a special person. So I don't think I can see anybody right now."
That killed me.
"I'll get going. I hope you can come Samantha. See you there Sofi, bye!"
"Hey.. Sam.. Uhhh.. Hey.. you okay?" Sofi asked.
"Did you heard that? She came back for her Sofi." I answered defeatedly. I felt the tears brimming at the corners of my eyes.
"I don't wanna loose Amber. I can't." I added. I can't help but feel inferior. I can't blame her for loving Amber. Who wouldn't? She came first. They broke up with good intentions. Now that she's back, she'll definitely make her move. She'll win her back. I can't let her take Amber away from me. She just can't. She can't just go back and get what's mine. Amber's mine. God.
"Hey.. you won't loose her." Sofi added reassuringly.
"How can you be sure of that? She's perfect Sofi." I countered. I wiped both of my eyes and sobbed some more.
"First, I know you wouldn't let that happen. Second, Amber's heard over heels with you. Don't cry okay? Not until Amber would tell you that she's not in love with you anymore and I doubt it would happen."
"She's still in love with me because Allyson wasn't in the picture. Now that she is... Oh God.. I don't know Sofi."
"Hey.. You worry too much. Nothing is happening Sam. Tell all your worries to Amber, be honest with her. Don't do anything that you would regret again okay? I saw you being hard on Ally awhile back that's why I interjected. Ally is a sweet and kind girl. I don't think she can hurt anyone, especially Amber. If she knows that you are the person that could make Amber happy, I don't think she'll ruin that. I know how to read people Sam. You know me." I'm thankful that I have a friend like Sofi. She knows what to say to everything. She's right though. I worry to much.
"Thank you. I really need to talk to Amber. She offered to stay our place tonight to talk things out."
"Good. Don't feel like an underdog! That's not the Sam that I know!" I laughed at Sofi and hugged her.
"Thank you.."
RING RING RING RING
"It's Amber.."
"Go ahead.. Answer Juliet.." Sofi added teasingly. I chuckled and hit her arm. She's right.. Amber's my Juliet.
"Babe... Hey.. (Sniff)" I answered with a hoarse voice. Ugh. I shouldn't have cried. Amber will just worry.
"Babe!?? What's wrong?? Are you okay? What happened to your voice?" Amber asked worriedly. I heard a lot of shuffling, it sounded like she's hurrying to fix her things.
"Nothing.. I uhhh.. Um.. Uhh..-" Sofi grabbed my phone and shouted teasingly at Amber.
"She cried because of you Juliet! A shower of kisses would make her feel okay again!!"
"SOFI!!! Give me that!!!" I yanked my phone away from her and talked to Amber.
"Sorry.. It's not like that babe.. It's just-"
"You're still in the gym right? I'm on my way." Amber interrupted me with a stern voice.
"Uhh yes I'm still here but-"
"5 minutes. Stay there." I blushed. God that's hot. Then the line got disconnected.
"Sofi!! Why did you do that!" I brought my attention back to my annoying best friend.
"What!!? I'm just helping you to lessen worrying.. So what happened?"
"She's on her way here.. ugh.. Sofi!"
"Awwww... that's cute. Thanked me later! I'll go ahead and let you guys make out.. Bye!" Sofi winked and ran to the exit.
Ugh
I gathered all my things to put in my duffle bag when I heard someone walking behind me. I was about to turn around when I felt two soft arms enveloped me in a sweet and warm hug.
"What's wrong babe?" Amber whispered sweetly on my ear. She motioned me to turn around and kissed both of my cheeks. God, that feels so good. She steadied our position by interlocking her hands at the small part of my back. She looked at me intently and I can't help but get lost at that loving stare.
"You were crying.. Why?" She then wiped both of my cheeks with her thumbs tracing the tear marks left on my face. I then rested my face on her palms to savor her warmth.
"It's not you who made me cry.. Sofi was just teasing.. It's me.. and my insecurities.. I'm just worried.." I answered while I placed both of my hands on Amber's waist to move our bodies closer as possible.
"Worried about what?" She asked sweetly while her thumbs still caressing both of my cheeks. I can feel Amber's warm breath hitting the tip of my nose. I just wanted to lean in and close the gap and kissed her tenderly.
"Allyson.." I murmured.
"Sam..-" She started but I immediately cut her off.
"No. I know. I'm sorry. It's not your fault or Allyson. It's just me and my.. my.. Jealousy. I'm sorry." I held both of Amber's wrist so I can placed her arms on my back. I snuggled my face on her neck and murmured, "I'm sorry." God she smells so good.
"It's alright. I understand. That's why we would talk tonight right?" Amber rubbed my back soothingly and kissed the side of my head.
"Mmm-mmm" I nodded and kissed her neck gently. Amber tightened her grip and kissed my shoulder. She swiped her hands from my lower back to rest it on my nape. She then massaged it for awhile using those soft fingers. I shivered at the gesture. God that's so sweet. Amber pulled away still massaging my nape to look at me.
"Come on.. I need to get my things at home then I'll drive us both to your house." She stated.
I nodded and asked her dreamily. "Mmm-mmm I like this.. Do you want to be a masseuse someday?" Amber giggled and continue to massage my nape.
"Maybe.. But I'll go poor if that happens. " She whispered.
"Why is that? A lot of clients would be pilling in just to be touched by you.." I flirted back.
"That's the problem.. I only want to serve one client." I blushed. God.
"Who would that be?" I asked and bit my lower lip to stop myself from grinning like a crazy-girl.
"I think you know who she is." Amber lowered her voice some more and her eyes lingered on my lips.
"Kiss me." I asked demandingly.
"No need to ask babe. There's no need." Amber whispered as she kissed me fully on my lips. We both shared a soft and passionate kiss. This time, no one is trying to be dominant on each other. Her right hand still caressing the back of my neck and the other one is massaging my back. Both of us are breathing heavily when our lips parted. "I love you," I whispered on Amber's lips. "You have no idea how much I love you too." She answered back. That alone made every inch of jealousy gone away. If there's someone needs to be jealous. I know for sure that It shouldn't be me.
