It's Complicated

Chapter 18

"Ah babe I'm gonna miss you" Sam gave me a tight hug and a long deep kiss on the lips.

We had been dating a while now and I really liked him. He continued to be kind and courteous but I missed the passionate I knew once before.. would I ever feel that again.

"I know I know but perhaps you can come visit" he was staying here for the summer and I was heading back down to home with Chloe.

"Yeah I'd definitely love that" he pulled me back to him as his lips touched mine.

Chloe cleared her throat "come on love birds gotta hit the road if we wanna get back home before night"

"Coming coming" I rolled my eyes and said a final goodbye to Sam before heading into the car with Chloe.

The drive was fairly good not getting stuck in too much traffic.

"soo" I could tell by Chloe's tone this was something she had been holding in.

"Don't say it" she chuckled "I know what your gonna say"

"Oh so what is it?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Your gonna say, how will it be seeing Hunter again" I rolled my eyes.

"Damn it you know me so well" she smirked

"It's going really well with Sam, Hunter will be busy with work I doubt we will even see him" I shrugged "I'm over it"

"But you haven't had sex with Sam...yet" she glanced and saw my face "Okay ok I won't say anything but don't forget if you need anything I'll be right here ok"

"Of course thanks Chloe"

"No problem"

I pretended it was all ok but deep down I knew I was worried. How was Hunter...

*****************************************

"Arabella"mum sweeped me up in a tight hug.

"Hi mum"

"It's so nice to have you back even if it is only for a little while how was your first year"

I gave her a brief outline of my year not going into too much detail of Sam.

I took my things up stairs.

"Sis!" Nathan hugged me and let me down

"How is everything?" we chatted for a bit in my room as he filled me in on everything I had missed.

"How awesome 6 weeks off now though I got some party planned for the following weekend mum and dad will be out of town" 

"Ah great ....really nat"

"Yes really sis and you will be attending you can't use studying as a excuse now!"

"Do I have a choice, I kinda of live here!"I rolled my eyes as he chuckled.

"How is Hunter?" I inwardly groaned as I realised I shouldn't care. His still my friend though right? It isn't weird to ask right?

"His good his dad works him too hard, I think the stress gets to him but you know he would never say anything"

Hm I let that thought sink in. I wonder if I should try and speak to him I mean it's likely I'd be seeing him this summer anyway. We used to always talk about his family I knew for a fact they did get to him. Being a only child they did put a lot of pressure on him.

Suddenly I realised I had a text typed out and ready to send. My subconscious care ... too much?

Arabella - do you wanna hang out? Like old times :)
