"Sam let's go down the road to Waffle House and get some breakfast."
His eyes lit up at the idea of breakfast and I can't help but smile at his involuntary reaction to food.
We grab all our stuff and give the key back to the guy sitting at the desk. Sam opens the door for me and grabs my hand as we walk down the street to Waffle House. "We have about an hour and a half till we need to be at the airport."
Sam smiles at me and squeezes my hand. When we got to Waffle House we sat down in a small booth in the corner and ordered our food. I sipped my coffee and watched Sam.
"You know I have to introduce you to my dad as my boyfriend now."
He smiles at me. "It's a good thing he already likes me."
"Yea, Tell me about it."
"Bella. I would like you to meet my aunt. My mom wasn't around much and I never knew my dad. So I spent most of my life living with my aunt and I think yall would like each other."
"Sam I would love to meet the woman that raised you"
He reaches across the table and grabs my hand intertwining our fingers. It was here sitting in a crowded, coffee smelling room, surrounded by complete strangers, with 90's music playing in the background, that I realized I'm in love with Sam Uley.
Our busty waitress brought our food and we ate in a comfortable silence. After we got done we sat there sipping our re-filled glasses of coffee and talked about the BP oil spill.
"I just don't think it's right to keep drilling, I mean seriously. 83 days?"
Sam looked proud that I wanted to stick up for nature. "Trust me babe, I know. It's destroying habitats. There's a pack up there. I talked to there leader alpha a week ago and the things he told me…."
I was mad that all those animals were being killed. "It's just not right."
Sam pulled out his wallet to pay the bill. I was about to say something when he spoke, "Don't even say anything. I'm paying."
I blush, "Fine you can pay, but I'm leaving the tip."
He smiles over at me, "If it makes you happy."
"Yes, it would make me very happy."
Then he gets serious, "I will do anything to make sure you're always happy."
I smile at him and grab his hand as we walk out the door, "Just be here Sam, and I'll be happy."
"I'll be here until you tell me to leave."
"That'll never happen."
He smiles at me and kiss my forehead, "I'm not very religious but I pray you're right."
We walked for a couple more minutes enjoying the sun, then we stopped and got a taxi. We sat in the backseat, and I scooted closer to him. I got an even bigger grin when he wrapped his arm around me.
"Where too?"
"Airport."
"Ok."
The cab driver drove fast and we were there with-in minutes. Sam got the bags while I waited on him. We got our tickets and put the luggage on the carousel then sat in the plastic chairs to wait.
Sam excuses himself to the bathroom, and as soon as he walked off a guy takes his seat and looks at me.
"Hi, I'm Kyle."
"Bella." I say curtly hoping he'll get the point and leave.
"That means beautiful. Suits you." He smirks at me.
"Uhmmm, thanks?" I make a point of ignoring him and looking around for Sam.
"Do you want to go get some coffee while we wait for our flights?"
"No thanks."
"Look, you're really pretty and I thought you looked nice, please go get coffee with me?"
"Look Kyle. I said no."
"It's not going to kill you to walk over there with me and drink coffee."
"She said no."
Sam was glaring at the guy. I can't lie, jealousy makes him look sexier.
Kyle shakes his head, "Mind your on business"
Sam steps forward and grabs my hand pulling me to his side, "Leave my girlfriend alone." He glares at the guy with a look that gave me chills.
The guy turns red and walks away stuttering sorry.
We sit back down and I lean over and whisper in Sam's ear, "Thanks for sticking up for me, oh and jealousy made you look so damn sexy."
Sam shivered and kissed me. His lips were so warm. His hands wrapped into my hair and he nibbled on my bottom lip causing me to open them slightly. He slid his tongue in my mouth making me go weak at the knees. He explored my mouth gently then he pulled back leaning his forehead against mine breathing heavy.
"Flight 109 to Port Angeles Washington Boarding now."
We both sighed loudly and stood up heading to the gate. We got on the plane and found our seats. After the plane took off Sam wrapped his arm around me and I laid my head on his chest. "Sam, I'm going to take a nap." His other hand was twirling a lock of my hair in his hand.
"Ok sweetie."
Right before I fell asleep I felt him resting his head on mine and I heard him sigh softly.
