Sunlight slowly creeped through the bedroom window of Sam's trailer. Sam groaned and tried to ignore it. Try to get back to sleep, his arm draped over the sleeping beauty beside him. He let out a little sigh of happiness and his lips couldn't help but smile as he gazed over her naked form. What did he do to deserve such a Goddess? A quick glance over his shoulder at his bedside digital alarm clock. 10:40am
Sam muttered under his breath, he was awake now and getting back to sleep was futile. He looked around on the floor for his discarded boxer shorts and threw them on for quickness. He could change into something else later, he told himself.
Gently he slipped out of bed and tip toed out of the bedroom towards his kitchen and went through all the cupboards and into the fridge to scramble something together for breakfast. Bread, butter, coffee, milk, orange juice. Not much, but it was something.
Sam started to prepare everything, putting the coffee pot on and putting 4 slices of bread into the toaster. He smiled as he realised this wasn't a breakfast for one.

Usually Brandy wasn't such a heavy sleeper. Most of the time she was an early riser, getting up at the crack of dawn and staying up till the wee hours of the morning. Not this morning however, somehow sleeping beside a warm body had made her sleep in and avoid the crack of dawn entirely.
When she stirred awake, she noticed she was alone. However, she could smell the fresh brewing of coffee coming from another room. This meant that Sam hadn't left, he just went to the kitchen to start breakfast. Brandy took this opportunity to slip on the pair of (his) boxers she wore for their walk, and his buttoned-down shirt she had borrowed.
She felt too weird about slipping on her clothes. A blush coming to her cheeks when she realized how .. well... horny he had made her last night.
Quietly she emerged from the bedroom, and stopped to watch him with a warm smile as he rummaged through the kitchen, hovering above the toaster. She had cleared her throat.
"Can I wake up to you every morning?"

Sam was busy pottering around in the kitchen, getting mugs for the coffee and plates for the toast, not forgetting the glasses for the orange juice. He hoped it would be enough, though he had enough bread to make more toast and cereal if that didn't suit. He was so deep in concentration he didn't hear or even notice her scent.
"Can I wake up to you every morning?"
Sam looked up quickly as he heard her words. His face beamed at her she looked amazing, even in the morning and even in one of his old plaid shirts and boxers. "Good morning, beautiful. You wanna head back to bed, so I can do this right?" he grinned. "I wanted to surprise you with this" he raised an eyebrow and his eyes twinkled mischeviously. He waved his hands at her, "go shoo, back to bed with ya and pretend to be asleep or somethin'" he couldn't stop grinning at her.

"Good morning, beautiful. You wanna head back to bed, so I can do this right?"
Brandy chuckled softly, bringing one hand up to run through her long wavy-brown locks. Spending the night had been.. unexpected, so she wasn't prepared with anything. She made a point of going back to the duplex to grab her stuff... tomorrow.
"I wanted to surprise you with this"
Her eyes softened, by god.. he was just the sweetest man she had ever met. Her heart was racing a little faster, something she was getting used to happening whenever she was around him.
"go shoo, back to bed with ya and pretend to be asleep or somethin'"
"Huh? Oh! Right, right!"
Brandy had turned around quickly, pivoting on one foot as she scurried quickly into the bedroom and crawled back into bed. Did he really want her to pretend to be asleep? She wouldn't be able to keep a strange face when she heard him come in!

Sam smiled as he watched Brandy head off back towards the bedroom. She actually scooted with not much resistance. He laughed to himself as he put everything onto the tray, wondering if she was going to play along with the little game of pretend.
Picking up the tray he carefully walked through to the bedroom, opening the door with a foot. There she was laying underneath his thick duvet. He softly walked over to her and placed the tray onto the bedside table, moving the alarm clock back against the wall.
Sam looked down at her and he tried to stifle a laugh. She was going along with the little pretense of sleep. She really was adorable. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "Good morning." he said, still trying to stifle his laughter.

Oh, it was very hard to not snicker when she heard him come in. But she had managed long enough to feel a kiss on her forehead and hear his voice above her.
"Good morning."
"Oh, fancy meeting you here - breakfast? In bed?"
She was pretending she didn't expect him, she didn't know how well she was playing it off though. Quickly she sat up, bringing her knees up to her chest as she padded the empty spot beside her.
"The breakfast is nice, but can I have you in bed as well? If I'm going to be spoiled I would like it to be all the way"
She just couldn't get enough of him, and she didn't want that feeling to end. Sure, work had to come - life had to happen, but not today. Today was just for them.

"Oh, fancy meeting you here - breakfast? In bed?" Brandy said in between smirks. Sam couldn't help but smirk back at her. It was pretty funny. Again he thought how lucky he was, she even shared his wicked sense of humour. How perfect was this girl anyway?
Brandy sat up and made space on the bed beside her.
"The breakfast is nice, but can I have you in bed as well? If I'm going to be spoiled I would like it to be all the way"
"How could I say no?" Sam asked rhetorically and sat next to her, bringing the tray over and placing it on his outstretched legs. He leant over and gave her a soft kiss, then pulled away with a smile. "Hungry?"

"How could I say no?"
'That's the point" she thought, and watched as he grabbed the tray and sat beside her with his legs outstretched. She was more than welcoming of the kiss, and casually put her head on his shoulder as he motioned toward the food.
"Hungry?"
She nodded, sneaking a kiss before she reached for a piece of toast and a cup of coffee. It was nice to not have to make her own breakfast, but there had been a thought dancing across her head for awhile now.
"So.. I guess this means we are , for lack of a better word, 'officially' a couple. I mean, I knew we had s*x and all but I just didn't want to overstep my boundaries when people ask and I tell them I'm dating Sam Merlotte"
It wasn't like the idea wasn't in the air already, almost everyone in the bar already knew her by name.

Brandy snuck in a quick kiss before taking some toast and a mug of coffee. She began to speak, Sam turned his attention to her as he sipped from his own mug of coffee.
"So.. I guess this means we are , for lack of a better word, 'officially' a couple. I mean, I knew we had s*x and all but I just didn't want to overstep my boundaries when people ask and I tell them I'm dating Sam Merlotte"
Sam pulled the mug from his lips as he thought over her words. "I guess we are." Sam replied with a smile, turning to put his mug to the side. "So" he said turning round to lie beside her, his eyes looking up at her. "Will you be my girl?" he said half teasing, but meaning every word. He wanted, needed something steady and secure in his life.

"I guess we are."
She couldn't help but to smile, it was hard to focus on the coffee mug in her slender hands.
"So, Will you be my girl?"
If she could of cooed 'awwww' she would of. Her heart had sort-of-melted at that moment and her free hand reached to run through his dirty-blond locks tenderly.
"You know I will"
Absolutely nothing could ruin this moment for her. Now, tomorrow, the next month.. or even the next life time. All she had ever looked for in a man, all she had ever wanted in a lover - was right here.
"After all, you had me at hello"

Sam grinned as she accepted, as he more or less knew she would. But it was nice to hear nonetheless.
"After all, you had me at hello"
Sam laughed and put an arm around her and pulled her into him. He lightly kissed her head and sighed happily, stroking her hair. "C'mon, breakfast'll get cold." he looked down at her and winked. "We have all day together after all."

"C'mon, breakfast'll get cold."
Brandy couldn't help but smirk at that, she honestly wasn't too worried about her toast getting cold. However be, though, she was now munching away and washing it down with the coffee.
"We have all day together after all."
"Not long enough!"
Brandy smirked as she protested. Toast never tasted quite so good.
"I want to know everything about you, whatever I missed.. like.. what kind of animals can you shift into? What was it like growing up and do you have any family?"
She hoped she wasn't being intrusive, but as his girl.. she felt it would probably be important to know such things.

"I want to know everything about you, whatever I missed.. like.. what kind of animals can you shift into? What was it like growing up and do you have any family?"
Brandy's questions were expected, but came out of the blue. Questions he wasn't used to answering. Questions he could and questions he just wasn't ready to answer.
"Well I can shift into any animal I see. Big or small." Sam began, trying his best to explain. "But I need to see them first, get an imprint of what they are before shifting."
He then started to squirm, knowing she'd be expecting an answer to this one too. He just wasn't ready to pull those skeletons out from the closet. "My family....we're not close. I've been on my own for a while and that's about it." he looked away and then back to her. "What about you? What all can you do? I don't fully understand your gift much at all."

"Well I can shift into any animal I see. Big or small.But I need to see them first, get an imprint of what they are before shifting.""
"That is quite the gift Sam. Does that mean if you shifted into a horse I could ride you all day?"
Of course she didn't realize how it sounded before the words had left her mouth. Really, all that was going through her head was riding a horse - but it was him - so it was.. strangely exciting to her.
"My family....we're not close. I've been on my own for a while and that's about it."
Brandy frowned at that, he was abandoned? Because he was a shifter? There were so many questions in her head but she decided to keep them to herself. If he ever wanted to tell her, he surely would one day.
She reached her hand out and took his, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"You don't have to be on your own anymore. I'll be your family."
"What about you? What all can you do? I don't fully understand your gift much at all."
Brandy was still holding onto his hand, and she had finished up her coffee. What could she do? What was she working toward?
"My magic? Well, I can create protection spells, not completely heal muscles but I can.. speed up the healing. I'm good at dispelling evil, I can sense evil presences. And lately.. I've been having really vivid dreams that I have the ability of teleportation. I keep on meaning to practice that... wouldn't that be just crazy if I could?"

"That is quite the gift Sam. Does that mean if you shifted into a horse I could ride you all day?"
Sam almost spat out his coffee at her response. He wasn't sure if it was an intentional joke or just Brandy's speak first, think later way. He managed to keep it down and not mess up his bedroom carpet. When Brandy reached out for his hand smiled. She was so caring and loyal, her affection was addictive.
"You don't have to be on your own anymore. I'll be your family."
"My friends are my family, and you're now a part of it." he pulled her hand up and kissed the back of her hand. It was good to finally have someone he could rely on. After years of searching he found someone he could let his guard down with.
Brandy explained all about her magicks, at least what she was capable of now to a captivated Sam. Sure it was intimidating to know your girlfriend could kick your ass without even lifting a finger. But she'd not do that. Would she? 've been having really vivid dreams that I have the ability of teleportation. I keep on meaning to practice that... wouldn't that be just crazy if I could?"
Sam's eyes widened. "Teleportation?" he said back, amazed. "Like, going from one place to another?"
