When the ice melts

Chapter 14

Third person's P.O.V.

Drive from Gala was pretty quite. Girls were sitting on opposite sides of the car, both looking through the car window.

Dušica has so much on her mind. All night played in her head over and over again. Every touch, every smile, every laugh... What is wrong with her!? Why does she always get lost in a specific pair of icy blue eyes? Why her heart melts whenever their hands touched. When Sam's lips rest on Dušica's cheek, she felt eruption in her stomach. Just on that thought, Dušica's cheek gets reddish color.

"Miss, we are here," Willy said, breaking river of thoughts in Dušica's head. She just nodded and was ready to walk out when she saw girl next to her who didn't even move.

Sam was in deep thoughts as well. The same thoughts were running on her mind the whole time. She didn't even saw when the car come to stop.

"Sam" Dušica tried to call her.

Seeing that blondie next to her doesn't respond, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sam!" She said again and gently shook her shoulder.

Sam jumped and hit her head on the roof of the car.

"Bloody hell! Sam sorry, oh my god, are you okay!?" Dušica asked worriedly.

Sam rubbed her head lightly and smiled at Dušica worried face.

"I'm fine," she said slowly.

Dušica couldn't help anymore but laugh. Sam looked at her strangely but laughed as well.

"I'm sorry... But that was funny!" Dušica said between giggles.

"Oh, okay Ms.Giggler," Sam said with a stupid smile plastered on her face.

"Ms. Giggler!?" Dušica asked while rising her perfect eyebrow.

Sam swallowed hard because she felt like Dušica was insulted.

"Um... Y-Yes" She stuttered! She couldn't believe it, but Dušica thought it was adorable, Sam was adorable.

"It's cute, I like it," Dušica said and leaned towards Sam.

Sam was shocked, she couldn't even move. It's not like she would move even if she can though. She looked down at Dušica's lips and before she knew it, that perfect red lips were on her cheek... Cheek!

But it wasn't just normal peck, Dušica let her lips stay on Sam's cheek couple seconds.

They both felt like electricity went through their bodies. Sam blushed immediately. Did she just wanted Dušica to kiss her!? Of course, she wanted!

"Come on, we are already here" Dušica quickly took her hand and lead her outside.

"What on Earth is wrong with me!? I almost kissed her!" Dušica thought for herself until Sam's voice brought her back.

"Where are we exactly, by the way?" Sam asked when they were in front of some café 'Mary'.

"My favorite café" Dušica answered and started looking through her purse.

"What are you looking for?" asked Sam while frowning.

They were standing in front of the front door which by the way were locked.

"This!" Dušica answered while grinning and showed her a key. She put it inside and the door opened.

"Tada!" She said again and giggled while walking inside.

"This is yours Ms. Giggler!?" Sam asked when black-haired girl turned lights on.

"Not really. It's a long story" Dušica smiled.

That perfect smile which made Sam weak in her knees.

"But you had key so this wasn't breaking into someone's property, right? We won't end up in jail I hope?" Sam asked again clearly confused.

"Nah, don't worry about that! Come on now, pick a seat." Dušica motioned around "As you see, for now, we have some places free, but if you don't hurry I don't know what will happen"

Sam couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not funny!" Dušica said and rolled her eyes "Just sit, please!"

"Okay, okay," Sam said and sit down at table next to the window. "Is this fine?" She asked while trying to hold back her laughter.

"Perfect, I'll be right back," Dušica said and left

"W-What!?" Sam was confused more than ever.

After a few minutes, Dušica walked in holding something in her hands.

"Where were you?"

"For the menu obviously" she answered while giving menu to Sam.

She took it and their fingers touched, sending shivers down both of their bodies. They looked at each other's eyes and that's when they both knew the other feel the same as she.

Dušica pulled her hand away and cleared her throat. Sam looked down at her menu and then again at the goddess in front of her.

"Who is going to make what we want when there is no one else?"

The question made other girls smirk. "Just pick up something"

"Umm... I don't know why but I want cheesecake" Sam said.

"Seriously!?"

Sam hummed and nodded her head.

"Anything but that" Dušica said and rolled her eyes which made Sam laugh her ass of.

"I am serious!"

"Okay, okay! Fine" she still was laughing but decide to pick something else.

"What do you want by the way?" Sam asked not looking up from the menu.

"Burger and fries," Dušica answered.

Sam looked up ready to say something, but before she even could Dušica cut her of.

"Uhh... I'll take some ice cream and cookies after that."

"Seriously, Dušica!? It's already eleven"

"So?"

"How do you even have that smoking hot body?" Sam asked gesturing at Dušica's body up and down.

Sam realized what she said and she quickly looked down.

Dušica felt like all blood from her body went straight to her cheeks.

"Umm... Working out, I guess" she shrugged which made Sam laugh lightly upon seeing her blush.

"You know what?" Dušica asked.

"Umm... No?"

"You are just gonna share with me," she said and pulled Sam up from her seat.

"Oh no, I am no gonna it that this late. I don't wanna get fat" Sam said

"Seriously!? You have body goals so Please shut up and enjoy" Dušica said and pushed her through the door of the kitchen.

Sam blushed again while she was trying to hide it with her hair.

"Don't hide your blush babe, it looks beautiful on your face" Dušica had no idea what came into her but she just feels like telling true.

On the other side, Sam was freaking out. Her heartbeat was stronger and faster every second. And when Dušica called her babe, she could die. She knew British people usually use that but she still felt butterflies in her stomach. But Dušica isn't exactly from England, is she!? No, but she lived there since she was 6 and she got accent.

"What are we doing in the kitchen anyway?" She asked, trying to change the subject.

"I am going to make us one late dinner" Dušica answered while smiling proudly to herself.

"Sorry, but I don't want to get sick," Sam said while turning around to face Dušica.

She turned suddenly and she bumped on Dušica and they both fall, Sam on top of Dušica.

They were looking at each other's eyes not saying anything. Dušica could feel Sam's breath on her face which made goosebumps appear all over her body. She couldn't help but bit her lips while staring directly at Sam's blue eyes and then down at her lips.

Sam felt a lump forming in her throat and just seeing Dušica biting her lips made her so hot all of sudden. Her arm awkwardly fell down and gently caressed Dušica's naked leg. Wait, what!? She froze when she realized what she had done. She felt how Dušica's body tensed under her touch but she couldn't do anything to make her hand leave its place. She felt like paralyzed while watching at this now grey eyes.

Dušica knew if they stay in this position a little longer, she won't find a way to control herself.

"S-Sam, umm... Can't breath" she said stuttering.

Sam tilted her head on the other side confused, and when the realization hit her she hurriedly got up and started apologizing.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" she suddenly felt embarrassed.

She held her hand for Dušica to help her get up, which she gladly took.

"It's okay, don't worry"

"And I guess I don't weigh that much so you couldn't breathe," Sam said and rolled her eyes.

"Believe it or not, you are pretty heavy" Dušica answered playfully.

"Oh, is that so?" Asked Sam again while raising her left eyebrow.

"Nah, I could easily flip us over If I wanted"

"Yeah, Right" Sam groaned which made the other girl giggle.

"By the way, you shouldn't care about getting food poison as long as I cook for you" Dušica pointed out.

"I hope so because if I get stomachache tomorrow I would kill you myself"

"Whatever" it was now Dušica's turn to roll her eyes "Anyway you are, like a good girl you are, going to sit here," she said and tapped place on the counter "and I'm gonna make us burger and fries.

"I don't know who told you I am a good girl," Sam said while smirking.

"I simply can see it, now sit," Dušica said and turned around to look at Sam who was blushing.

"Fine, whatever" she groaned and jumped on counter.

Dušica smiled at her and shook her head. She then took her high heels off.

"What are you doing?" Sam asked confused.

"Taking off this s**t, my legs are killing me!" Dušica answered with a frown on her face which made Sam giggle.

"Who is now Ms. Giggler, huh?"

"Hey, don't steal my ideas!" Sam answered while trying to sound annoyed.

"Okay, okay sorry," Dušica said and shook her head, biting her lips and giving her best not to smile.

She took the pan out and put oil in it. She put the burger in it and turned around to find something. Sam was enjoying watching her so focused on what she does. She wanted to ask Dušica something so bad but didn't know if she actually should.

"What's wrong? You seem lost." Dušica asked when she noticed how Sam looked lost in her thoughts.

"Nothing" Sam answered simply, not looking at Dušica's eyes.

"Sam, I know we know each other only for two days but you can talk to me," Dušica said with a warm smile while walking towards Sam who still was looking at her feet.

"I didn't know your feet are so interesting," she said when she was in front of Sam who was blushing like crazy right now, she couldn't even look up.

Dušica sighed and took Sam's chin between her fingers and lift it so Sam can look at her eyes.

"Talk to me," she said softly.

"You know, there is something I want to ask you, but I don't know if I should..." Sam said trying to avoid Dušica's eyes once again.

"You can ask whatever you want to know, I'll answer anything" Dušica answered and went to the pan to turn burger on another side so it wouldn't get burned.

"Are you sure?" Sam asked once again on which other girl just nodded.

"You know... Um, I thought that's what everyone told me, that Nikolić Corporation's heir is 19 years old" she said it all in one breath, she was nervous as hell.

Dušica froze when these words escaped Sam's mouth. Fork she has been holding, just fall easily from her grip with thung sound on the floor. She looked Sam straight in the eyes like she was debating should she tell her or not. Her heartbeat was stronger and faster, she felt like it's going to explode any second.

By Dušica's expression, Sam knew she shouldn't have asked that. It was something personal. She mentally cursed and face palmed herself.

"I'm sorry... I-I knew I shouldn't have asked that." Sam mumbled shyly and looked down, trying to escape from Dušica's piercing stare. She felt ashamed!

Dušica sighed and shook her head which made Sam look up.

"It's okay, I told you I will answer anything you ask," she said and pick up a fork from the floor.

"I-I mean, uh, you don't have to," Sam said and mentally cursed herself, again, for shuttering so much.

"Shut up and just listen before I change my mind, okay?" Dušica asked, little annoyed.

Sam just nodded and looked at other girl who sighed deeply before staring her story.

"This what I am going to tell you knows just my family, Mia, her parents and Elena, and I would appreciate if you won't tell anyone, okay!?"

Sam just nodded and gulped, like she lost the ability to speak. It must be something really important. She thought. But she was happy that Dušica felt like she can trust Sam, which made blonde's heart explode.

"It's true" Dušica simply said which received a puzzled look from Sam. "I mean that what you said. Real heir is 19 years old. My sister, Alexandra."

That's when Sam remembered when Dušica said shelter she wants to build will be named Alexandra.

"But where is she then?" Sam asked, confusion written all over her face. Dušica looked up with teary eyes which made Sam's heart broke into tiny little pieces.

"In peace, I hope. Probably laughing her ass off while watching how much I struggled with life since she died." Dušica said and laughed at the end.

That laugh which could break your heart. The laugh which carried sadness. Heartbreaking sound which made Sam froze at her place. She didn't expect this to be said! She felt so bad for making Dušica tell her this.

"Oh my god, Dušica, I am so sorry. I didn't know" Sam said and jumped from the counter.

She walked towards Dušica who was looking down. Sam lifted her chin and her heartbroken all over again, who knows which time tonight. Tears were falling Dušica's cheeks, her eyes puffy and red.

"Oh, baby," Sam said and pulled Dušica towards her.

She just realized what she said but she couldn't care less at that moment. Because she still was wearing high heels and Dušica didn't, black-haired girl's head was comfortably placed in Sam's neck. Sam felt all the butterflies explode in her stomach because of their pose. She felt happy at that moment but that instantly disappear when she felt hot liquid on her neck.

"Shh, I'm sorry baby, I didn't know," Sam said again while gently rubbing Dušica's back.

Dušica smiled upon hearing Sam calling her baby, but she still couldn't stop her tears from going. She felt weak for crying in front of someone she practically just met. And not to mention that someone is the person she has a huge crush on. 'Wait what? Crush? On Sam? No way.' She thought. 'But she is so beautiful and so cute. She is not like everyone thinks she is... Okay! Definitely a crush..."

"It's okay, you didn't know" Dušica answered simply and pulled away. She gave Sam some kind of smile. "I'm sorry you had to see me like that," she said while rubbing her eyes like a little child.

"It's okay," Sam said with a smile while taking a strand of Dušica's hair that was on her face and slowly tucking it behind her ear.

"You still look beautiful though" she looked directly at her now golden eyes, and decide to wipe her tears away.

Dušica was blushing way too hard. She was sure her face looked like a tomato. She closed her eyes and felt an eruption of butterflies in her stomach when Sam's hand touched her face. Scratch that! Butterflies were way too small to describe how she felt. She felt the whole zoo in her stomach which made her smile.

Sam was so gentle and careful. At one moment her finger touched Dušica's lips which made them both froze. Sam was wondering how would it feel to press her lips against this red one. A small smile crept on Dušica's face which made Sam smile as well. She let go of Dušica's face and she slowly opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry I destroyed your tux" she whispered shyly while watching at Sam's shoulder where she left a big, wet mess because of her tears.

"Oh, it's okay. It's not like I am going to wear it again anyway. I am not a fan of formal clothes." Sam assured her.

"It looks so good on you, by the way," Dušica said with a shy smile which made Sam blush.

"You know, one who should be apologizing is me... I-I shouldn't have asked you that. I'm sorry" Sam said suddenly and looked down, ashamed of her actions.

At that moment thousands of thoughts were running through Dušica's mind. She didn't know what to get into her but she decided to tell Sam everything, so she did.

She decided to let it out. She has been keeping this for too long in herself. She couldn't talk about it to her parents, it would just break them more. She didn't want to talk about it to Mia or Elena as well. Don't get her wrong, she trusted them with all her life, but she just couldn't.

With Sam something was different, she felt comfortable around her since day one. She didn't exactly put her fingers on it but something just was pulling her towards Sam.

"It's maybe good you did." she started which made Sam look up at her "Come on, take burgers and I'll take cookies. I want to tell you everything"

"W-What!? Dušica, you don't have to... I me-" she didn't even get a chance to finish her sentence because Dušica cut her off.

"I don't have to, but I want to"

"Why?" Sam asked, confusion written all over her face.

"To be honest, Sam, I don't even know. I just feel like telling you would help. It's like... Umm, it's like..." she was so lost for words "I don't know, I just feel comfortable around you."

Sam smiled upon hearing that and nodded her head then went to take everything they need. She felt special now, after hearing Dušica's words.

They went out of the kitchen and sit on one table in the middle of the room.

Dušica saw that Sam hesitate to eat which made her roll her eyes but giggle as well. Sam looked up at Dušica who had a big grin plastered on her beautiful face.

"I didn't poison the food, you know," she said while taking one bite of her burger.

"Oh please!" Sam said while rolling her eyes "I didn't even think about it. But are you sure it's okay for humans stomach?" she asked which made Dušica almost choke in her food because she started laughing hysterically.

"What!? I'm just making sure!" Sam said while biting her lips to stop herself from laughing.

"I'm pretty sure it's okay Sam." Dušica answered when she calmed down "But you know what!?"

Sam tilted her head on the side in confusion "What?"

"If you don't want it, I'll gladly take that one as well" Dušica grinned and tried to reach Sam's plate but Sam slapped her hand playfully.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Dušica played dump but truth to be told, she wanted to laugh so hard.

"That's mine, back off," Sam said with attitude which made other girl burst out laughing.

"You are cute," she said and held her stomach which hurt of so much laughter she had.

"Shut up," Sam said embarrassed and took a bite of her burger and fries that Dušica prepared for them. Other girl just shook her head and kept on eating.

Sam closed her eyes while tasting juicy, warm meat and something else that was inside, she had on idea what that was. She didn't even know Dušica made all of this because she was so lost in watching her perfect face all that time.

"Damn, this is so good," she said while licking her lips.

Dušica pretended to be shocked which made Sam laugh.

"Seriously, Sam? And what have I been trying to tell you whole this time?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry for doubting at you."

"Well, that's better," Dušica said and winked. "You have to try their cookies after, they are the best!"

"If you say so"

They kept eating without saying anything. At one moment something was all around Sam's mouth which made Dušica laugh her ass off.

"What?" Sam asked, putting her hand in front of her mouth because they were full.

She swallowed her food and looked at Dušica weirdly.

''Do I have something on my face?" she asked and her eyes went wide when Dušica nodded but still laughed.

Sam was glad she could watch Dušica like this. Happy, carefree, with that beautiful smile of hers.

"Damn" she mumbled and took napkin from table ready to wipe it off.

But before she could even start, Dušica pulled her hand down.

"What?" Sam gave her that puzzled expression because she had no idea what was going on.

"Wait." said Dušica "Let me" she took napkin from Sam's hand and their fingers brushed against each other which sent sparks down both of their spines.

Dušica decided to ignore it and just wipe Sam's face. She did it gently afraid of hurting her.

Sam in the other hand couldn't help but stare at Dušica's lips all that time. She was enjoying this moment, but like we all know everything good comes to an end. Dušica pulled away and smiled widely.

"Here," she said "you are fine now"

"Thank you" Sam mumbled and kept eating.

For the next few minutes, there was silence. It wasn't uncomfortable one. It was one kind where you could only enjoy while watching a person sitting next to you.

After some time, Dušica decided to tell Sam everything. She took one deep breath which made Sam look up at her. She knew what will happen and she was ready to listen carefully.

"She was everything to me. I loved her more than anyone. She always was a person who will make me laugh and smile when I wasn't in the mood. She was person who teach me almost everything I know now. Our parents usually weren't at home, because their job and we would stay alone, that's why when she turned sixteen we decide to buy our house and stay there together... With her I was safe, and when she gone I felt like someone just ripped away that safety from me. I loved her so much that I would die for her... But, in the end, she was the one who died for me." Dušica started shaking and clinching her wrist.

Sam reached for her hand over the table and gently squeezed it. It somehow gave Dušica strength she needed. She looked up and Sam gave her a weak smile.

Dušica took a deep breath and decide to tell everything like it was.

"It all happened two years ago in London"

Dušica's flashback

It was a long day. I was tired of school and other s**t that was going around. I and Alexandra were sitting in living room watching some movie. My head was in her lap while she played with my hair. That's how close we were. I looked up to her and see how to concentrate on movie she is, I couldn't help but giggle.

"What is it, monkey?" she asked looking down at me with an amused smile on her face.

"Nothing, it's just that you are cute," I said and blow her a kiss because my lazy ass was tired to get up and kiss her.

She smiled again. She loved more than anything when I compliment her. She said I am the only person who quickly can change her mood, just like she is for me.

She kissed my forehead and whispered "Not as cute as you"

We kept watching movies in this position, well actually she did. I was thinking about life and everything that's happening in this shitty world.

I looked up at Alexandra and thought about how much I want to be like her when I grow up. It's true, she is only two years older, but she is way more mature than kids her ages. She knows how to handle any situation she is in. She always finds a way to save the people she loves. She loves people for who they are, not because of their looks. She would do anything for people who are in need. We need more people like her in this world.

"Alex?" I called for her attention.

"Hmm?" she hummed her answer not looking away from the TV.

"I want ice cream"

She looked at me with raised brown "It's late, monkey"

"Oh come on Alex please, let's go" I gave her puppy dog eyes because I knew she can't say no to it.

"Please, please, please... Pretty please!?" I tried again and that broke her.

"Ugh, fine! You are so annoying!" she said and I mentally high five myself.

"Yes!" I jumped from the couch which made her laugh.

"Let's just walk, I am not in the mood to drive," she said while getting up herself and I could only nod.

It's not like the market is far away from our house. We walked outside and I waited for her to lock up.

We walked towards the market talking about our next volleyball match. She was the one who made me like that sport. We played sometimes when we were younger and when I started high school, I was in team. She was the captain of our team. It was the first time that some from first grade were in team. Soon enough, I was better played than her. We would practice together, learning from each other. She said that she was proud of me because she was practically my teacher.

We already ate our ice creams and we were going home. Streets were empty, no cars were here which was weird. Few other people were walking but not much.

We were about to cross the street when I saw my shoelaces were untied. She went on the other side while I was on the sidewalk tie my laces. I got up and walked on the street while Alex waited for me on the other side, at that moment bright light was coming from my left, not allowing me to see anything. I heard Alex screaming but I couldn't move.

Suddenly I felt like something pushed me. It wasn't a car. It wasn't something either. It was someone. And that someone was Alex!

I was laying on the street because she pushed me so hard, I looked up and saw something I wish I didn't.

Car slammed at Alex musculature body. She flew a few meters away. I couldn't believe what happened. I quickly stood up and ran towards her.

I sat down on the street pulled her head on my lap, tears running down my face.

Four guys went out of his car and came to us, they all looked my age! f*****g fifteen!

"s**t, s**t, s**t!" one of them said. He held his head and started pacing back and forth.

"Let's go!" others screamed and pulled this one for his hand. They all ran to car and drive away, I was so focused on my sister that I couldn't even stop them.

Someone has already called an ambulance.

"Hold on, Alex please," I said between sobs. I removed her hair away from her beautiful face.

"Monkey," she said and cough her blood.

"Shh don't speak" People started surrounding us but I had no straight to make them leave.

She shook her head and said "Please, monkey, be strong. Be strong for mom and dad. Be strong for me. I-I love you baby, t-take ca-care." she kissed her hand and brought it to my cheek. Her eyes started closing and I started screaming.

"Noo! Alex, no no no no please, stay with me!" she closed her eyes and I don't remember what happened next, ambulance came, my parents came and everything went so fast.

We found out boy who was driving was from New York, he was fifteen as I thought. We went to court and he got 4 years. Just 4 years! Not even in prison because he is underage. His name is Henry Jonas.

End of flashback

"Henry Jonas... I will never forget that name or his face. He wanted to show his friends how good he can drive and look at what happened. It cost my sister's life. She died in my arms" Dušica finished with tears running down her face.

Sam was speechless, she opened and closed her mouth all over again... Not knowing what to say, she just got up and hugged Dušica tightly. Her heart broke one more time that night, she felt like she was going to cry as well. She always hated to look people cry, she thought it is weak and pathetic. But listening to Dušica's story she understood it's not true. She saw how strong this girl is, all she has been thought made her stronger. She kissed the top of her head and whispered: "I am so sorry baby". Again that word slipped from her mouth making both of them froze. Dušica relaxed a little by Sam's warm embrace, and then she looked up. "This guy went in your school," she said while looking at Sam's blue orbs.

"Really?" Sam asked shocked on which other girl just nodded.

"Is that why you are going to my school, even though you have a lot of them here?" Dušica shrugged, not wanting to talk about which Sam completely understood.

Sam hugged her tighter and just buried her head in Dušica's hair. Inhaling the beautiful scent of vanilla and cinnamon together.

They stayed like that little longer until Dušica broke the silence.

"We should go, I promised to your parents that I will get you back home before midnight" Sam nodded and they get up without saying anything more.

They removed all dishes from their table and headed outside. Dušica locked up and Sam took her hand turning her around so she could look at her.

"I don't know how it is when you lost someone you love so dearly" she started, not letting of Dušica's hands.

Both of them looked at their interweaved hands.

"I can't tell you that it is fine, because it's not. I can't tell you that there will be someone who will replace her." she stopped for second but only to held Dušica's hands higher, almost touching them with her lips.

"But there is something, I have learned for this past few days. And that is, there will all of sudden appear someone who will show you everything you think was lost. I maybe can't help you with this, but please remember that I am always here for you, to listen, to make you laugh or just annoy you" she said with a chuckle which made other girl giggle as well.

Sam kissed Dušica's hands and let them go. Dušica was so touched by Sam's words even if she didn't know she said them from her own experience. She didn't know that she is exactly that someone who walked in Sam's life and change it. She couldn't breathe, she felt hot all of sudden. When Sam placed her beautiful lips on her hands she got chills. All she wanted right now is to kiss her, but she knew she can't.

"Sam, you are nothing like people say. I have no words to explain how much you helped me tonight even if that's nothing to you, it means everything to me... Thank you" Dušica said and hugged her tightly.

They still were standing in front of the café, holding each other like their lives depend on that. They wanted to remember this moment forever. How their bodies fit perfectly together (now when Dušica had her heels back on). How their hearts beat like one.

They pulled away and smiled widely. Sam caressed Dušica cheek and she leaned on Sam's touch while closing her eyes.

"I'm glad I met you," said Sam.

"I'm glad that happened as well" answered Dušica and a small smile crept on her face.

"But now, we need to go. I don't want your parents to kill me!" Dušica said and pulled Sam towards the car which made the blonde girl laugh.

"Don't worry, if we are late, I promise they won't torture you... They'll make it quickly" Sam said and laughed her ass off when Dušica glared at her.

"Where to Miss?" Willy asked them. She was watching what happened in front of the café but decided to not say anything, to not make them uncomfortable.

"I have no idea," Dušica said and turned to look at Sam who wasn't paying attention to what has been told.

"Sam!" Dušica called for her which made her jump a little.

"What!?"

Dušica looked at Willy and they both started laughing like crazy.

"We need your address, silly" Dušica said and Sam just kept looking at her like some lost puppy. "We are supposed to take you home"

And like realization hit her Sam blushed slightly not being able to control her embarrassment.

"Uh, yeah... Right,'' she shuttered and finally decide to gave them address when Willy started driving.

"Did you saw that Willy?" Dušica asked, referring to Sam's confusion, still laughing.

"Yes, I did Miss" he nodded and laughed as well.

Dušica groaned immediately when she heard he calling her Miss.

"How many times do I have to tell you to not call me Miss! Willy for God's sake, you are like an older brother to me"

"I know, I know but your name is so hard to pronounce, so it's better like this" he replied and smiled.

"You two are unbelievable!" Sam said out of the blue before Dušica could answer to Willy.

They both look at her with a puzzled expression. She had her hands covering her face.

"Elaborate?" Dušica asked, an amused smile on her face.

"It was not funny! It was embarrassing! Kill me now" she said still with her head in her hands.

Willy and Dušica couldn't help but laugh again. Willy turned around when green light turned on and started driving.

Dušica gently took Sam's hands off of her face and smiled "Hey, hey, no need to cover that beautiful face of yours"

Sam looked away and bit her lips to prevent herself from smiling.

"Look at me" Dušica demanded and Sam immediately obeyed. "It wasn't embarrassing, it was cute," she said with a smile. "Now smile for me, please!?"

Sam couldn't take it any longer so she smiled widely. She had a feeling she looked like an i***t but didn't care after all.

"That's better," Dušica said and kissed her cheek.

The ride was comfortable, girls talked all the time. They exchanged numbers. Dušica get to know Sam better and everything was just perfect until they came to Sam's mansion.

"Miss, we are here," Willy said, gaining attention from both girls.

"Oh okay," Dušica said.

They both went out and it was 10 minutes before midnight.

"We are good," Dušica said and showed Sam time. Sam smiled and nodded. She suddenly got her serious face on.

"Good. Now we don't have to cover a murder"

"You are scaring me, you know," Dušica said pretending to be scared which made them both burst out laughing.

"Anyway, I want to thank you for tonight Sam. I had an amazing time, besides all the crying that happened. And thank you for showing me your true self, I am blown away. And sorry for tux once again" she smiled sheepishly.

"I am the one who should be thanking you. First for taking me out of Gala, then for food and amazing time we spent together but mostly, thank you for trusting me." Sam smiled and stared at Dušica beautiful blue eyes.

"You better get going," Dušica said and kissed her cheek "I'll see you tomorrow?" it was more question than statement.

"Of course" Sam smiled "Good night, Ms. Giggler"

"Have a sweet dreams, princess" Dušica answered and turned around leaving Sam who was blushing like crazy.

"Princess" she whispered to herself while touching the left cheek, where Dušica just kissed her. She knew she looked like a high person with that creepy smile of hers but she didn't care. She went into the house and said simply 'hi' to her parents before going straight to her room.

When Dušica jumped in her car, Willy was smiling deviously at her.

"What!?" Dušica snapped, but soon enough smile was plastered on her face.

"Nothing, just that smile on your face says everything," Willy said and wiggled his eyebrows.

"I don't know what are you talking about. Drive me home" she answered and looked out the window, trying to hide her blush and smile.

"You can lie to me and others, but you can't lie to yourself Ms. Giggler" he laughed when he said the nickname Sam picked for Dušica.

She thought about his words but decide to think about something way better. Sam. And instantly smile appeared on her face.
