Sam almost wanted to poke his tongue out at Brandy for her quip about the plaid. He knew she'd have something to say about it. "I have more than plaid you know." then he smiled a cheeky boyish grin, "besides, what's wrong with plaid, it's classic."
He gave Brandy the thumbs up for the choice of the Arnie action movie. As usual she couldn't help but blurt out something random and with a hint of tease. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "You are gonna be the death of me with that stuff, ya know that?" he shook his head a little with a small laugh and settled in to watch the movie. Taking Brandy's feet in his hands and rubbing and kneading them gently.

"besides, what's wrong with plaid, it's classic."
"Yes, classically boring"
Brandy laughed, teasing him of course. When he sat down and began to rub her foot she let out a sigh of relaxation and sunk into the couch.
"You are gonna be the death of me with that stuff, ya know that?"
"Aww.. don't say that. I'm just.. being me. It's who your going to fall in love with right?"
She didn't expect him to say anything, so she returned her attention to the movie. D@mn, this movie was creepy!

"Yes, classically boring"
"Hey!" Sam protested with a grin and stopped massaging her feet. He knew she was kidding, but it was good to get her back even if it was just a temporary halt in the proceedings.
"Aww.. don't say that. I'm just.. being me. It's who your going to fall in love with right?"
Sam flushed when she said it. He felt bad, because he wasn't in love with her. Was he? He couldn't tell, everything had happened so fast and wondered if maybe he was being caught up in a wave of emotion. He certainly was attracted to her and he liked her a lot. Spending all day with her today filled him with contentment. She did make him happy.
Sam focussed back onto her feet, giving them more attention than the movie. "This is alright? I don't want to be doin' it badly and you pretend."

Of course she pouted when he stopped rubbing, she knew he was just teasing her. Her attention was back on the movie, mainly because she knew he wasn't in love with her - at least, not yet anyway. It didn't mean she couldn't be in love with him though.
And it wasn't like he was turning down a kiss that time either. There was definitely hope there. She was struggling to give him the time he needed, though it was hard to give him the space he might of needed. He didn't seem to be complaining though.
"This is alright? I don't want to be doin' it badly and you pretend."
She looked at him and nodded, of course he was doing it alright. Was there a wrong way to rub foot? If there was, Brandy didn't want to find out.
"No, no.. your doing fine. I'm just thinking about stuff. Irrelevant future type stuff. Curious enough, I have been wondering where I'm going to be a couple years. Things tend to change so quickly and time is so short, you know? "
You could have something one moment, and it could be gone the next. It sucked sometimes.

Sam smiled proudly, foot massages were not something he ever indulged in often. In fact, he hadn't ever done it at all. So he was happy she was happy.
"No, no.. your doing fine. I'm just thinking about stuff. Irrelevant future type stuff. Curious enough, I have been wondering where I'm going to be a couple years. Things tend to change so quickly and time is so short, you know?
Sam nodded, "You gotta make the most of this life while you're here. I've lived too long in the past. I can't do that anymore." His mind wandered briefly to Sookie. He waited so long for her and it never amounted to anything. Now a beautiful woman had an interest in him, going as far as saying she was in love with him. It was definetly time to look ahead and quit moping over history.

"You gotta make the most of this life while you're here. I've lived too long in the past. I can't do that anymore."
"Hmm.. you know what, this is enough"
Brandy had slithered her feet away from his hands and repositioned herself on the couch so that she was lying down,with her head softly on his lap. She loved being this close to him, so close she could smell his scent and become totally intoxicated by it.
"I was thinking, before the mall closes.. I am going to take a little trip to the mall. I know we had this plan to stay around here all day.. but there is something there I remember seeing I really want."
And this time, she would be sure to have enough guts to give it to him.

"Hmm.. you know what, this is enough" Brandy almost purred the words as she shifted her whole body towards him. Her head on his lap, she looked so blissful. Sam couldn't help but stroke hair and smile. This was everything he wanted and he had it all, here in his lap.
"I was thinking, before the mall closes.. I am going to take a little trip to the mall. I know we had this plan to stay around here all day.. but there is something there I remember seeing I really want."
Sam looked down at her, still stroking her silky black hair. The mall? "Oh?" he said quizzically. "Want me to come with you? We can make a date of it." he smiled happily, "that's only if you wana though." he said awkwardly, not wanting to look like he was smothering her.

"Want me to come with you? We can make a date of it."
Brandy was having trouble focusing, his fingers through her long hair had felt so could she just wanted to close her eyes and drift away into bliss. When he mentioned joining her and making a date out of it, she smiled at the thought.
"that's only if you wanna though."
"Don't be silly, of course I want you to come. I just need you to make yourself a little scarce when I go visit a certain store. After all, it wouldn't be a surprise gift if you know exactly what it is."
Maybe she should be getting massage oil or something? However, that wasn't the type of gift she had in mind. She didn't need massage oil to get him all... worked up. The thought made her blush and she just turned her head and snuggled herself into his lap.
"After the movie. Did you want to drive, or should I?"

"Don't be silly, of course I want you to come. I just need you to make yourself a little scarce when I go visit a certain store. After all, it wouldn't be a surprise gift if you know exactly what it is."
Brandy buried her head back into Sam's lap. He smiled and returned to stroking her hair again. "You don't need to get me anything. You've given me enough." It was true. Just being with her made him happy and didn't need or want anything else.
"After the movie. Did you want to drive, or should I?"
Sam thought about it carefully. "I'll drive." he started. "I can drive you over to your house and you can pick up some things." he smirked. "You don't wanna go to the mall in my boring old things do ya?"

"You don't need to get me anything. You've given me enough."
"It's not that Sam, that collie charm on the phone was suppose to be for you. I just, well I'm a girl and I'm kinda silly like that. When Derek and I were together, you know before he turned into the cold-hearted b@sterd that he is now, I gave him a necklace. I swore I still saw it on him."
She felt bad mentioning Derek again, but it wasn't suppose to be a bad comparison. She felt she should explain herself further.
"I guess I just wanted to get you something that would remind you I'm here for you when I'm not around. I don't imagine you to even wear necklaces or anything like that.. but is there anything you know.. anything that you wouldn't mind keeping around? Maybe even a key chain?"
It was silly, she knew, but it was important to her. When he mentioned stopping at her place to pick up 'mall worthy' clothes she laughed. His clothes were so comfortable she didn't even realize she was still in them!
"And yeah, maybe a stop at the duplex might be a good idea..."

Sam threw a coy look as Brandy mentioned the collie charm. It was sort of weird how she knew without actually knowing. Then the name of her ex-boyfriend cropped up and Sam looked upwards to the roof of the trailer and bit his lip. Was the only way he could keep silent.
"I guess I just wanted to get you something that would remind you I'm here for you when I'm not around. I don't imagine you to even wear necklaces or anything like that.. but is there anything you know.. anything that you wouldn't mind keeping around? Maybe even a key chain?"
Those words seemed to soothe Sam. Make him feel a bit less self-concious, it was a really sweet gesture. How could he say no? "If you're really dead set on doing it, then at least let me get you something too."
Sam focussed back on the movie, it was drawing to it's finale. "You don't mind if I pop into the shower quickly. You can go in after me." Best not put the temptation out there.

"If you're really dead set on doing it, then at least let me get you something too."
Brandy only smiled, after all - she kind of was dead set on it. She was surprised though, that he would offer to get her something in return. Could he be any more of the perfect boyfriend than he already was?
"You don't mind if I pop into the shower quickly. You can go in after me."
Brandy couldn't help but to laugh, she knew what he was getting at - another shower could only lead to more sex. It wasn't like either of them could help it, they were crazy about one another!
"Sure, of course. I washed a couple towels when you were sleeping - they are on top of the dryer."

"Sure, of course. I washed a couple towels when you were sleeping - they are on top of the dryer."
Sam kissed her on the top of her head. "Thanks babe, I won't be long." he reluctantly squeezed out from under Brandy's head and walked into the kitchen to pick up a towel and headed into the bathroom.
He turned the shower on and quickly got undressed, stepping under the warm water. He let the water rush over him, stopping briefly to wash his hair and soap himself down. Rinsing off he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself and hurried into the bedroom.
Grabbing a pair of clean underwear, black jeans and an navy blue shirt. He dried himself off and put on his clean clothes. Casually walking back into the sitting room he smiled cheekily. "See, I do have more than plaid in my closet."

Brandy seemed content on watching the credits for a moment and was busy flipping through the special features as Sam went to the shower. He wasn't long, and when he had come out he was in a navy blue shirt and black jeans.
She grinned at him, d@mn he filled out his jeans quite nicely! Would it be wrong for her hand to permanently be in his back pocket? She picked herself up off the couch as he mentioned something about having more than plaid in his closet.
"You look good in anything"
She was already heading toward the shower, not really having much choice after she cleaned every nook-and-craney to get back into his clothes. Her dress might of been dry, but it smelled like rain and her panties.. well..
... let's not go there.
She was laughing to herself just thinking about it during her shower. Even some after, as she pulled back on the jogging pants and shirt she wore the night before for their walk.
When she was done, there was almost a skip in her step as she headed over to the kitchen and leaned against the counter casually.
"I'm ready when you are. Don't forget its a pizza night, unless you had another idea"

"You look good in anything"
Sam smiled at her compliment, "Right back at'cha beautiful" as she walked past him towards the bathroom. While she was gone Sam stood around the sitting room not quite knowing what to do with himself.
Sam wandered around doing a quick tidy up of the room. Fixing cushions and the throw that was draped over his sofa. He noticed the credits had finished rolling on the dvd, so he took it out from the player and put the disc in the box and back onto the shelf and into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
He smiled as he caught Brandy's scent a second before she walked into the sitting room, a slight spring in her step. Even though she had his tatty old sweats and shirt on, she looked great. She came over to the kitchen and leant over the counter, a big beam of a smile on her face.
"I'm ready when you are. Don't forget its a pizza night, unless you had another idea"
Sam put his glass down and placed it into the empty sink. "No, pizza's great. I mean who doesn't like pizza?" he grinned and took his truck keys off the counter and put his arm out in front of him. "After you."
