Third to seventh period went by like a breeze and before Sam knew it, classes were over for the day. She'd been wishing for them to be done fast anyhow because she wanted to catch up with her favorite librarian to discuss a possible more than friendship deal.
Though she wanted their rendezvous to occur in school, Sam thought it best to ask her out and maybe wait to be invited to Chandra's place for a drink. That way no one would be around and they could talk more freely. The last thing she needed was nosy bitches like Delilah in her business.
"Samantha... mhmm, damn girl, Nick's been feeding you good hasn't he? You're getting a little more pudgy each and every time I see ya!" Delilah's voice jarred her from her thoughts.
Speaking of the devil.
Sam didn't turn around. She only smirked and adjusted her book bag on her shoulder as she walked. "Yeah, he is, but I feed him real good too, you know. We had breakfast in bed this morning, just fruits and some whipped cream. He licked me... oh... um..." Samantha blushed and covered her mouth. "Clean. Because instead of pancakes and eggs, he had me as the main course."
"Eww, you probably smothered the man with all those thighs didn't you?"
"Well actually, Nick likes to live dangerously for the sake of my pleasure. He'd rather get smothered by flesh than some rail thin hussy like you."
"What?" Delilah threw insults at her but seemed to stop when she noticed Sam wasn't staying to listen.
Sam smiled to herself for such a brilliant come back.
Delilah was all talk and Sam wouldn't get upset at the girl's taunts.
Bottom line, the girl was mad Sam got to Nick before she did.
How fucking childish was that?
A part of her wished Nick was around just so she could rub it in Delilah's face.
Maybe then that bitch would leave her alone.
Knowing she had more important things to do, she picked up the pace and headed to the library. When she arrived, she inhaled deep and closed her eyes with her hand on the doorknob, thinking of everything she would say to Chandra.
We've been friends for a really long time and...
That sounded like the line Nick gave her before they jumped into bed together for the first time. Didn't most guys say that? And she wasn't a guy, but she was trying to get a gage on what Chandra wanted. How should this conversation start? How could she convey her need for Chandra to be her woman and Nick's, even for only one time?
No fuck that, I want it all.
Sam leaned against the door and tried to gather some courage. "Just be yourself, damnit!" She exhaled and walked in, clutching the arm of her backpack tighter. Looking for her desired, she scanned the room, noticing it mostly empty until she spotted a pair of high heels under a shelf.
Chandra?
Excited, she strolled over in that direction and made a sharp right. "Chandra?" She called out so she wouldn't scare her coming up from behind. Though she entertained the idea to catch her off guard, Sam didn't want to scare her.
"Yep. I'm over here."
Jackpot.
Sam slowed once she got to the aisle and eyed Chandra from where she stood. Like every day, she was dressed to kill in her heels and today instead of a skirt, she wore a red dress that accentuated all of her curves and showed a little cleavage.
Fuck.
Sam's mouth went dry taking in Chandra's voluptuous frame even from the distance. She cleared her throat and dropped her gaze a moment just to collect herself, hoping she wouldn't stutter.
Small talk first.
"So, er, how's it going?"
"Good, Sam. It's been quiet today. Not as many requests as usual but I suppose it will pick up later on."
"I see, um... well, I don't have any research to do today. I'm kind of hungry and I figured, since you get off at four, I'd ask you to join me for a bite to eat."
Chandra pushed her frames up on her nose and took two long strides over to Samantha. "Sure, I suppose that would be good. I skipped lunch so I'm hungry too." Chandra held a book tighter to her chest. "Sam, is everything all right? You seem tense."
Sam nodded and brushed her brown curls away from her face. "I am, I'm just, well..."
Fuck this.
Sam inhaled sharply and closed her eyes a second, gathering the right words. "Chandra, I need to ask you something, and well, I hope that we can still be friends after I do."
"Oh?" Chandra placed the book on the shelf and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Yeah, I um, I really like you, Chandra..."
"Well, I like you too, Sam."
"No, I really like you, as in, I'm attracted to you. Oh fuck, this is soo freaking stupid how I'm saying this. Let's ty this again, okay? I'm not a teenager, I'm a woman." Sam breathed out again and balled up her hands into fists. "I'm attracted to you Chandra and I wanna spend more time with you, so if you'll let me..."
Chandra cocked an eyebrow and titled her head. "Well wow, Sam, I didn't expect you to ask that. You have a man, though. And how could you tell I was into women? Did I give off that many signals?"
"No, actually you didn't but, I wanted to take a chance and ask anyway."
Chandra looked away a moment. "Sam, I can't really..."
"Yes you can. My man likes the idea. In fact, just like a guy, he wants in, but I explained to him, us first. I needed to find out of you'd be interested in me because I didn't know..."
"No you didn't." Chandra took two steps closer and ran her hand through Samantha's hair. "I am interested Sam, I really am, but I'm not sure I could be with you and Nick. I've been in that situation before and it caused a lot of undue stress and hurt on all of us."
Sam's knees slightly buckled with Chandra this close and touching her. She bit her lip, just to keep herself focused. "It wouldn't with us, Chandra. Nick and I talked about it already. We both want this. He wants this to happen just as much as I do."
