Running on the Beach at Night (Chapter 32)

Chapter 32

Recap-

I quickly pulled from him embrace and almost pushed him off the bed. I hated that I would probably never be able to this way with another after Danny. I hated him for it. I looked over at Carter, who was gripping the bed.

"Sam, what happened?" Carter leaned up, trying to get close to me again. "I wasn't going to make you do anything."

I shook my head as he talked. I knew that he wasn't, but that wasn't the fact. The fact was that I was leaving in less than a week to go to New York, and getting all intimate with him would only make things difficult.

What if something like what happened with Danny, happened with Carter. Maybe I didn't love Danny, but I know I had feelings for him. I know my heart ached whenever he was around. What if I had sex with Carter, and fell for him just like I had with Danny?

Then I would have to leave him, and I couldn't stand another heart break. Not that I think I could ever fall for Carter, like I had for Danny. It was just the fact of the matter.

"It's not that Carter." I paced my bedroom floor while he laid there and watched me. "I think you should leave. I can't do this, I am leaving for New York in less than a week."

Suddenly, Carter shifted himself off the bed and walked slowly over to me with a sly grin. And can I say, he looked sexy. As he got closer, he pulled my chin up so that I was looking him right in the eyes. "That's cool Sam. I have a feeling ill be seeing you sooner than you think."

I watched him as he walked out of my room, and I was stunned. The old Carter was seriously gone, he wasn't begging for sex like he used to.

I wonder what he meant by, 'I'll be seeing you sooner than you think?'

Danny's POV

I lay in my bed, thinking about everything under the sun. Tomorrow was my wedding day, and I was the only one that acted like I didn't want to show. I would give anything to be able to just skip out on the whole thing.

Everything was finally paid for, planned out, and everyone was ready except me. My mind thought back to Samantha. I wonder if she would be there. I doubt it. If I saw her face at my wedding, I probably wouldn't be able to say my vows.

I tossed in turned in my bed, and I couldn't manage to fall asleep for more than 15 minutes at a time. What the hell? Tomorrow is supposed to be a big day and I wasn't going to be able to go to sleep? After minutes of tossing and turning again, I finally got up. I couldn't handle it anymore; it was just pissing me off.

When I finally got down stairs, I walked into the kitchen to see Izzy eating a bowl of cereal without milk. I looked at her oddly, and she just smiled. "What are you doing up so late?" She asked with a mouth full of Captain Crunch.

I walked over to the pantry and grabbed the cereal and milk as well and then walked back towards the counter. "Couldn't sleep. What about you?" I asked as she took the biggest bites of her cereal.
