Page 53 of Paths Crossing, Ep. Three: Sam & Ty
He grinned. "Really?" he asked, raising his eyebrows just a little.
I squinted at him. "Are you asking me to move to L.A.?"
He nodded.
"Quit school?"
He shrugged. "Or come to school there. Transfer student." Sam's blue eyes looked me over with a serious, engaged expression as he waited for my answer.
I felt a quick, sharp stab of jealousy and fear at the thought of him being an actor and being in an egg scene with someone else in the future. But then I chose not to let fear win. We would deal with future egg scenes if and when they ever happened. He might just go the rest of his life only doing action movies.
The group sort of shifted toward the kitchen area, leaving us mostly alone.
"Please say you're coming," he said, putting his hand on my back, his piercing eyes making me all sorts of promises as he looked at me. He licked his perfect lips before he spoke again. He hadn't done it to entice me. It was a natural movement before he spoke. But it did entice me. I loved how he looked. I loved him, and I was physically aching to stay with him.
"I'll marry you and love you forever," Sam said, his deep voice low and serious in the mostly deserted room.
"Yes," I said, unable to believe what I was saying.
"Yes, you're coming with me tomorrow?"
"Yes," I said, grinning and wondering if that was even possible. "I'll go anywhere with you."
He squeezed me. "We'll figure out getting your things from San Francisco."
"I'm not worried about it," I said easily.
Sam bent down and put his face near my chest, hefting me into his arms, squeezing me, hugging me so tightly that I giggled. He pulled back and then leaned in and kissed me. His perfect mouth touched mine, and the feeling of riding a rollercoaster came back.
Sam was shamelessly holding me and loving me in front of everyone, and it felt amazing. He let his lips touch mine a few times—quick, warm kisses—the kind that had me thinking about wanting to go ahead and get to the marrying him and having kids part.
But we would get to that.
For now, I was content knowing that I was with Sam and I would stay that way for good.
