Stay Put

"No Sam, not now when we're supposed to be here." I said, gently, "You can drive me home later if you want and we'll talk."

She looked up with a little smile, and nodded. I touched her cheek slightly, before leaving her their briefly before she followed to join our friends.

We sat down and had dinner, Sam was blatantly interested in me more so than anything else. I frequently felt her foot under the table and she was smiling whenever i caught her looking at me.

After dinner we ajourned to the living room to watch some tv, Paige, Brad and I getting to the couch first. Sam came in last and took a seat on my lap, leaning back against me, her head resting back against my shoulder.
