Chapter 8

Reality was better than any dream she’d had in the last seven years. Samantha had stirred awake fifteen minutes before, feeling overheated. It took a few seconds to realize the warmth was courtesy of the body heat of her oldest friend whose muscular chest was presently serving as her human pillow.

The sun had gone down leaving her bedroom in dark shadows. It didn’t matter that she couldn’t see him. Samantha’s body craved his proximity as she clung to him like two locked puzzle pieces.

Jonah was there. In her apartment. In her bed. His rhythmic breaths in slumber comforted her. His mere presence calmed her in a way she’d forgotten was possible. He’d been gone so long she’d begun to think she’d imagined how close their friendship had once been. He had been her safe haven.

She wished she could go to sleep in his arms like this every night for the rest of her life. There’d been a time when she was sure that was her future, but that time had long ago past.

Lost in her memories, she missed Jonah’s waking until his arm hugged her tighter. She clung to him, grateful he’d stayed with her like he’d promised.

“Thank you,” she whispered softly into the quiet room.

“For what?”

“Staying.”

“I said I would.”

She didn’t have to say the words on her tongue. They both knew he’d promised to stay before and hadn’t done it.

She didn’t know for sure how much time they had before Jonah disappeared again so she wanted to say the most important things first.

“I’m so sorry about your mom.”

She felt him tense up at the mention of his late parent. “Thanks.”

“I wish I’d known she’d been sick. I would have liked to visit her.”

Enough time passed she thought he was going to ignore her comment. “She would have liked that. She loved you.”

Sam heard the emotion in his voice and it brought tears to her eyes. “I loved her too.”

“She told me, you know.”

“What’s that?”

“That you used to visit her after I left.”

“She was the only one who understood. She missed you as much as I did. I hated to leave for college. When I came home for Christmas my freshman year, she’d moved away.”

“Yeah, that fall I convinced her to move back to the east coast to be closer to where I was playing.”

“I’m glad. I’m sure it made her happy.”

Several quiet minutes passed as she twirled her finger across his hard chest, playing with the patch of masculine, dark hair that reminded her he was no longer the wiry eighteen year old he’d been before he’d left her. He was all man.

He broke the silence. “I can’t believe I slept that good. I was out.”

“Me too. I’d have thought you would sleep great with all of the success you’re enjoying. Your music… well, it was always good, but… you deserve all of the fame and fortune you’ve achieved. I know how hard you’ve worked for it since you were a kid.”

She didn’t know what to make of his silence.
