After Amber talked to her ex-girlfriend, she can't help but to feel guilty. She wanted to go back and explain everything again until the needed closure that Ally was asking for would be granted. She knows how it felt to be heartbroken, she experienced it first hand when Samantha agreed with Shane's demand. Now Ally is experiencing this because of her and it breaks her to break someone else's heart. Ally was one of the nicest people that she had ever met. It wasn't her intention to hurt her friend but the truth needs to be delivered. She love Samantha so much that thought of kissing somebody else suffocates her heart. Amber got out from her car with a tired eyes. The recent encounter with her ex-lover somehow drained her energy. Samantha immediately spotted her girlfriend. The cheerleader ran towards Amber and immediately noticed her girlfriend's lack of energy.
"Hey baby, what happened?" Samantha asked her girlfriend soothingly as she held Amber's face to look at her.
"Can you give me a hug?" Amber asked defeatedly. She just wanted to feel Samantha's warm embrace to lighten her up. Samantha has always that affect on her.
"Of course baby, come here." Samantha still held Amber's face as she place a gentle kiss on Her girlfriend's temple. She then gladly open her arms for a warm and tight hug. Amber enveloped her arms on Samantha's waist in return.
"Thank you." Amber murmured on Samantha's ear and snuggled her face some more on the cheerleader's hair. The lavender scented shampoo calmed her down.
"Do you want to go somewhere to talk?" Samantha asked as one of her hands soothe Amber's cheek. Amber nodded.
"Where?" Samantha questioned.
"At my place if that's okay? I really want to cuddle." Amber stated maintaining a firm contact with Samantha's embraced."
"Of course, I'll text mom. Do you want me to stay tonight?" Samantha continued.
"Yes, please." Amber stated.
"Alright, come on.. I don't want to see you like this. Can you smile for me?"
Samantha pulled away to look at her girlfriend's face. She soothed Amber's eyebrows down to her nose and placed a gentle kissed on her girlfriend's lips. Amber draw out a small smile and gave the cheerleader a quick peck.
"Better.. Come on." Samantha intertwined their hands and directed her girlfriend towards the car. "Can you drive?" Samantha asked. "Can you?" Amber countered back playfully. They both know that the cheerleader is not fond of driving. She hasn't even passed her driving lessons yet but she just wanted Amber to feel that she cares. "Well.. I can try.. If your not feeling good to drive I'll gladly drive for us baby.. Though I may need to ask you to sit at the back.. You know.. Just in case." Samantha stated innocently trying to sound as cute as possible for her girl.
"Stop being cute, I can drive. Just hold my other hand okay? I want my girlfriend as close as possible when I feel down. She makes me feel better." Amber admitted. Samantha's heart flutter from what she heard. She bit her bottom lip just to prevent squealing in front of her girlfriend. But the blushing of her cheeks are inevitable.
"Alright. Now YOU stop for making me blushed." Amber smiled at the cheerleader's demand. She kissed Samantha's forehead and open the passenger door. Amber went to the other side and started the engine. She glanced at Samantha once again and said, "I love you." Samantha smiled sweetly and held Amber's hand. "I love you too baby."
-----------------------
Amber's POV
"Yeah.. that's what happened." I sighed. I was able to tell my girlfriend everything. I'm really happy that Samantha was being very understanding about it.
"Well.. you should've kissed her.. I mean, um.. how should I say this.. um.. she has a point. Even if I'm in her position I would fight for you. I'll do anything and everything just to make sure that I've done my best to get you back." Samantha explained.
"You want me to kiss her?" I asked confusingly. Samantha told me once that she was pretty much jealous about Ally and now she wants me to kiss my ex-girlfriend? I just don't understand.
"Babe, don't take this negatively okay?" I nodded and let her continue.
"Alright.. I also want to make sure.. um that you have finally move on with-"
"Wait, wait, wait.. don't you trust me? I alread-" I cut her off but was immediately cut back.
"I asked you not to take this negatively right? Please let me explain babe. Please?" Sam held my hand and continued. I sighed and asked her to go on.
"Like what I'm saying.. I want you to be sure. This is for all of us. For Ally to get her closure. For you to be sure and for me to let go of my insecurities. I love you and I know you love me too. If that's the case we shouldn't be threatened with that one last kiss that she was requesting right?"
"But Sam I-"
"Let her. For me?" Samantha countered.
"Jeez. You are something else. This is the first time I've heard something like this. Let alone coming from my girlfriend." I sighed as I rubbed my forehead with the palm of my hand. I looked at Sam silently asking if she's not joking about what she have said.
"I'm serious Babe."
"Seriouly!!?"
"Serious. 100% serious babe."
"You might just-"
"No. I'm not. I'm serious. Tomorrow night at her beach party.. Do it. Tell her that we've talked about this and I agreed." Samantha explained giving me a small smile.
"BUT, if she tries to make it a make out session.. Or tried to push you further.. I'll kill her. I swear. If that happens.. just shout for my name and I'll bury her six feet under alright?" Samantha held both of my cheeks and looked at me. Jeez. She's serious.
"Are you really sure about this babe? Because it's-"
"Are you afraid that you'll feel something for her?"
"WHAT!!? Of course not!"
"Good. Me too. I trust you with all my heart. I just want her to realize things by herself. If that kiss would give her that then so be it. She won't stop fighting for you if you let this slip. I'm trying to be the bigger person here because I love you." Samantha continued as she placed a kiss on my temple.
"I love you too. Come here and cuddle up," Sam smiled lovingly and rested her head on my chest as we positioned ourselves comfortably in bed.
--------------------
Samantha's POV
Oh god. This is the night. I can't believe I agreed into this. Amber and I just arrived at Ally's welcome back party. Everyone has been enjoying themselves. Ally knows how to put up a nice party though. I give her that.
"Hey.. um Hi Samantha.. you came.." Ally interrupted my thoughts. God this is awkward.
"Yeah.. I'm with Amber.. ah.. um.. you should talked to her.. She has something to tell you tonight.. there.. she's talking with Mandy and Mike.. go ahead.. I'm just waiting for Sofi to get our drinks."
"Oh.. Alright.. Sam I know that w-"
"Hey.. You're a great girl Allyson. Amber told me a lot about you. Nothing but good things. I let you and my girlfriend talk. I know this is kinda weird and awkward for the both of us but.. I care for her so much and she really cares about you.. I care for everyone that she cares about. Everyone. So just go there and approach her."
"Oh.. um.. alright. Th-thanks.. um yeah. Thank y-you." Allyson smiled and made her way to Amber. I'm not being honest to myself if I say that this doesn't bother me because it does. Then again, I have to remind myself that I am not just doing this for Allyson and Amber. I'm also doing this for myself.
--------------------
Allyson shyly tap her ex-girlfriend's shoulder and said, "Hey, I'm happy you're here.. um can I talk to you privately?" Amber looked past at Allyson's shoulder to asked for her girlfriend's approval. Samantha nodded from the distance and smiled back. Allyson was able to see this exchange and was again felt heartbroken.
"Hey hey hey!!!! Are you too trying to rekindle what happened 4 years ago? Gosh! You too are my bestest friends but the head cheerleader wouldn't like this and I'm not-" Drunken Mandy was immediately cut off by Amber's deadly stare. Mandy realized what she has said and abruptly dragged Mike away from both girls.
"Um.. yeah.. We-we'll just.. aaa.. Get some more drinks.. right Mike?" Mike looked at Mandy confusingly and narrowed his eyes to read Mandy's silent plead. Despite Mike's alcohol consumption he was able to get what Mandy was trying to do.
"Oh.. Oh.. Yeah!! More drinks it is!" Mike and Mandy left the two girls alone to talk.
Amber sighed and looked at Allyson.
"Of course.. Come on.." Amber smiled at Allyson and both girls walked their way out from the party area. When they can no longer hear the constant chattering of people and only the faint music can be heard, both girls decided to stop and talked.
"I'll do it Al."
"Wh-what?"
"I'll let you kiss me."
"Oh.. Um.. Did Samantha knew about this?"
"Yes.. I really don't want to but she does."
"Okay. I know this sound to desperate but please try make this at least 5 seconds... would that be okay?
"Okay."
Allyson leaned in as she touch Amber's waist. She looked at Amber's eyes to search for any amount of affection but there's none. It almost made Allyson cry but choose not to. Allyson kissed Amber affectionately and tried to deepen the kiss. Again searching for the love that they've shared 4 years ago. It lasted more than 5 seconds as Ally requested when Amber pulled away. Ally kissed Amber again as gentle as possible, still the affection was just one sided. Ally sobbed as she kissed Amber for the last time. Ally felt defeated. She rested her head on Ambers shoulder and sobbed some more. Amber didn't know what to do. She felt sad for Ally but Ally needed this. Both of them needed this. Amber pulled away as she touched both of Ally's cheeks.
"Al.. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Amber stated. Ally sobbed and held both of Amber's wrist. She tried to savor Amber's touch at it's last seconds.
"It's alright.. I'll be alright. Thank you. Thank you for giving me this chance. Thanked Samantha for me.. because I think I can't confront her.. At least not now." Allyson sighed and closed her eyes. Amber wiped both of Allyson's cheek as a friendly gesture. Amber kissed Allyson's forehead to let the other girl know that she still cares.
"You'll always be in my heart Al. Please remember that I care for you. I'll always will." Allyson nodded and smiled at Amber.
"I know. Don't worry about me. I'll move on. But just in case.. Well.. You know.. If it doesn't work out-"
"Al.."
"Gosh.. I'm just kidding.. I just want to lighten up the mood.. I'm heart broken you know.."
"I'm sor-"
"Gosh! Stop apologizing! You don't know how to take a joke do you..? Kidding aside, It's really alright. You're in good hands. Samantha's amazing girl."
"Thanks. Yes she is. So are you. I hope you find someone you deserve Al."
"Yeah.. Come on.. your girlfriend might kill me in any second now. I won't be surprise if she already already called a search and rescue team for you.."
Both girls shared a good laugh before going back at the party.
------------------
Amber's POV
"Sammy!" I immediately spotted my girlfriend since she's talking with a loud laughing Mandy.
"Baby!" Sam answered back excitedly.
"Are you being harassed by this crazy lady?" I asked Sam directing my words to Mandy. Mandy rolled her eyes but was suddenly dragged by Sofi to get their own alone time.
"No baby.. But your drunk best friend is kinda more loyal to me now.."
"Huh!? Why?"
"When you decided to talk to Allyson awhile back.. Your best friend immediately confronted me.. Telling me that you walked out with your ex-girlfriend."
"Really!? That butt face.."
"If I can't watched you all through out during a party.. I'm happy that Mandy can do it for me though."
"Well.. You don't really need to keep an eye at me.. You know that my eyes are only for you.."
"Good to know. So.. What happened?"
"You're right. That one last kiss was what we both needed. I'm sure and she found out her closure. She wanted to thank you for letting me do this."
"I'll talk to her.. Where is she.. I just want to thank her too.."
"Sammy.. She's not yet ready. She'll find her own time. She asked me to thank you because right now she can't do it by herself. I hope you understand."
"Oh yeah, of course.. Sorry."
Samantha was about to kiss me on my lips when she stopped.
"Um.. You just kiss another girl so I'll just kiss you here.."
Samantha tiptoed and kissed my forehead. I giggled and kissed her hands.
"Fair enough. Come one let's dance."
"Good idea."
