Broken Samuel

Alex’s Memories: Good bye kiss

The next two days all of us went to visit different beaches a little far from Santa Monica, and we returned very tired. The last day of our trip, Erick made us stay in the house all day resting because in the night we were all going to a pool party. Lily, Alice and I started to pack our stuff and leave out only the cloth for the party and for the next day. We then got ready and we arrived to the pool party at 10 pm. The house was a mansion, and it had Christmas lights in every tree, making it look even more beautiful. When we got to the pool, the party was wild ON! The DJ was playing P!nk, and everybody was dancing, drinking and having fun.

“Alex, enjoy all you can, because tomorrow you will forget about this party and NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN! Do you understand?”

“I will Alice, but promise me you will take care of yourself... Don’t get too wild here, because I won’t”

“Deal... be careful you too. Call me if you need something.”

“Let’s get in the pool!!!”

“But I think she knows who he is Alex, and for the same reason, I think Johnny likes Lily. They just having fun and for the future, well... Who knows?”

“Yeah... you might be right. Umm... would you like to drink something? I need a coke!”

“Yeah, let's get out of the pool”.

We got out of the pool. I went to sit in an extension bed, waiting for Sam. He went to look for the drinks, a coke for me and a beer for him. I was reserving the extension bed next to mine so he could sit on it, but when Sam came back, one drink in each hand and a towel in his shoulder, he made his way and set himself behind me. He gave me the coke and put the beer in the floor, and then he wrapped me with the towel and hugged me supporting his head in my shoulder. We didn’t speak for a while. I was watching Lily and Johnny in the distant, they looked like a real couple, kissing and laughing, having fun.

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

“No, I don’t. . . Do you… have a girlfriend?”

“It's complicated. . . This trip was to have a break from her, to try to put some distance or maybe just end it and make a new start . But …”

Suddenly, Sam took my coke away and put his right hand very gently on the left side of my face, making me turn around to face him, He was looking at me with such intense eyes, that for a moment I forgot to think and the instinct in me made me kiss him. And he was kissing mi back, so gentle, so sweet, so wonderful. It wasn’t my first kiss, but I would forget about my first kiss with David and remember this first kiss with Samuel instead. I ran my hand through his hair and face, memorizing it with my sense of touch. Hugging him tight and wishing to never let him go.

“Oh Alex, haven you torture me enough?” He said giving me little kisses on the chick, and neck, and then back to my mouth. I was just as drunk from his kisses as any other person in the party from the alcohol. He then gave me another kiss, but this time was a passionate one, he was hugging me so hard, that there were no free space between us. It didn’t matter all the people around us, or even the music. I was hugging him too and my heart was beating like a hummingbird. He slowly and gently pushes me back to catch our breath. He hugged me again gently and I could felt his heart hammering his chest, just like mine was doing it.

“I’m sorry Alex... I told you I could not promise you anything. Now, I just don’t know what to do. I really like you and … I will be flying to England soon”.

“Don’t be sorry. I would only ask you to stay with me until you have to go. Then you are free. I like you too Samuel and I want to kiss you as much as I can, hug you as much as I want before you go. Then I will remember this summer for the rest of my life”.

“Will you Alex? Because I’m sure I will.”

“I will Sam, I always will.”

That was a magical night. The kisses and the hugs were endless. Around three in the morning Erick told us to get ready to return. We got to the house an hour later and everybody went to sleep. Sam gave me the best good night kiss I have ever had and then I dreamed of Samuel staying in California with me.

Next day the house was very busy. Everybody was packing and putting everything in its place and Mark and Gabriel were washing the cars. Around lunch time, everything was ready, so we all begin our trip returning home. Four hours later, Alice, Lily and I said good bye to Connor and Samuel and got Home.

Our parents were glad to see us again save and sound, and we have dinner with them. Lily sleep that night in my house and went home the next Day. The next four days before Samuel returned to England, we went to the movies, to the mall to buy some souvenirs for his mom and friends. We had dinner in my house and even make a good bye party.

The day of the party was the last time I saw him. His flight was the next day in the morning, but I didn’t want to see him in the airport. So that last night we celebrate. At the end, he gave me as a present, a new cell phone. We exchange numbers and mails. Before he got in the car he kissed me for the last time. It was a light sweet little kiss, full of love and kindness.

“I will make you just one promise Alexandra Jones... I will always remember you!”

“And I will always remember you Samuel Campbell”.

After that, he called me for the airport to say good bye again. From time to time we send each other text message and mails. We talk a bunch of times by phone, like good friends. But I was in love, with hopes and dreams, I secretly was waiting for him, to see him again and see his beautiful smile, and shiny eyes.

So ten months had pass and the last three of them have gone without a text, or mail or call, or any news.

Just silence.

And now he is here, and is like nothing ever have happen between us. Nothing.
