From a Fan to a Flame | Sam Golbach X OC

Chapter 25 | Confessions of the Heart

As Sam and Victoria stood outside the apartment complex, the familiar sight brought a sense of comfort to Victoria. She grabbed her bags from the trunk of Colby's car, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation for the days ahead.

Sam followed suit, hoisting his own bag over his shoulder as he prepared to stay over at Victoria's place. With Lucy away, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for them to spend some quality time together, perhaps even delve into more conversations about their shared experiences.

"Thanks for the ride, Colby!" Sam called out, waving as Colby's car disappeared down the street.

"See you soon, Colby!" Victoria added, a smile on her face as she turned to face Sam.

With a shared glance, Sam and Victoria made their way into the apartment complex, ready to embark on the next chapter of their adventure together.

As Sam and Victoria entered Victoria's apartment, she guided Sam to where he could place his bags. Sam followed her lead, setting down his belongings before joining her for a brief apartment tour.

Once settled on Victoria's bed, Sam's demeanor shifted slightly, prompting Victoria's concern.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" she asked, her brows furrowing with worry.

Sam took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before speaking. "No, nothing is wrong. I just need to talk to you about something," he replied earnestly.

Victoria nodded, her curiosity piqued. "You can tell me anything," she reassured him.

With a hint of nervousness, Sam confessed, "Victoria, I have liked you ever since I met you at the meet & greet, and when we were at Hotel Del Coronado, my feelings for you only grew, and I just can't hide it from you anymore."

Victoria's heart skipped a beat at Sam's words, her emotions swirling as she processed his confession.

"I love you, Victoria, with all my heart," Sam continued, his gaze fixed on her.

Feeling overwhelmed with emotion, Victoria embraced Sam tightly, her voice barely above a whisper as she reciprocated his feelings. "I love you too," she murmured into his ear.

Sitting on Sam's lap, Victoria felt a rush of warmth as Sam cupped her face in his hands. Their eyes locked, the intensity of their connection palpable.

In that moment, the air crackled with anticipation as the space between them seemed to shrink. With mutual understanding, they closed their eyes, their lips meeting in a tender and affectionate kiss, sealing their love for each other in a sweet embrace.
