Broken Samuel

Alex' Memories: Feelings

Everybody else was sleeping, again with a huge hangover! So Lily and I got ready to go out and enjoy the day by ourselves. I left a note for Alice letting her knows that we were going out so she didn’t have to be worry.

“Ahh it’s a nice day... too bad Johnny pass out last night. They’re going to sleep the whole day, and by the time we’re back and tire they will be ready for another party night.”

“Nothing to do Lily, we’re 16 for now, so let’s enjoy what we can... besides, parties are everywhere, but this” “This, you don’t see it everywhere! So, like your grandma always said-“

“Enjoy the present!”

We walk all morning, we were in middle of July and the sun was heavy! We ate ice-creams a couple of times, enter in all the little shops near the beach and even bought some necklaces. I bought a nice bracelet with a silver S pending. Not sure if I would be able to give it to Sam, but got it anyway. For lunch we made a stop for a hot dog and then we went back to the beach. We bought some drinks first and started to walk to find that spot close to the “Cantina” when a couple of guys call us.

“I knew a will find some angels in this paradise!” .

“Hey, hello, did we know each other?”

“Oh no baby, I would not let you walk alone here if I knew you... but we can fix that! I’m Roger, by the way.”

“I’m Peter.”

“And I’m Samuel! And these two angels are with me!”

“Oh, sorry man, we didn’t know... well to bad, good bye girls! It was a pleasure to meet you!”

“Where were you? I have been looking for you!”

“I left a note for Alice, we were going to walk along the beach and spend the day here. Why?”

“Well... you weren’t at the house when I wake up, and got a little worry... everybody else is still sleeping. Umm... do you have cell phone?”

“No, sorry... I broke it a month ago... and my punishment is that I will have to buy another one with my own money.”

“Anyway” “Let’s look for some chairs and rest a bit... walking all morning under the sun sure make you tired”.

After a while of hearing the waves and the wind blowing softly in the beach Lily felt sound sleep, and Sam and I were talking. Well, He was talking about the bar that they visited last night. Apparently, Johnny and Sam were the only ones without partners, so they decided to drink a couple of beers, and then went back to Erick’s house. They find us dead sleep and then went to sleep too.

“So, you turn off the light and the TV?”

“Yea, it was me. It was hot so I didn’t put any blanket... not that you would need it. You looked really tired.”

“Thanks. I was really tired... so.”

“What is it?”

.

“It’s a birthday present for you, and also to remember this trip.”

He opened the little bag, and took out the bracelet, look it like he was looking the best gift ever and then put it in his left hand.

“Thank you very much Alex. I’m never going to forget this vacation!”

“You’re… um… welcome… Sam”.

“How’s the water?”

“You scare the crap out of me!!”

“Why are you so jumpy!!? Lily is awake, so I tough I could make you some company.”

“Yea... jumpy... that’... that’s me!”

“Tell me something Alex, I don’t know you but ... Um ... I’m getting the feeling that … there’s something in the air... between us, so... Is it just me?”

“Um ....Well ...”

“Hum... Yeah.. sorry, I didn't meant to make you uncomfortable …”

“No, wait” “it’s just... ha ha ha ... it’s not only you... it is not.”

“I like you, but.” “There is someone back home.. . This trip was a little break for me. I will be leaving to England at the end of next week... I wasn't expecting on meeting a beautiful girl you, and If it is possibly, I would like to be your friend and explore this... Only I cannot make any promises. I want to be completely Honest.”

“I would like to be your friend too Sam.”

“Come on, let’s go. Connor told me that today everybody is going to eat in a fancy restaurant. We better go with them... I’m craving for some decent food!”

He took my hand and led the way. We pick our stuff and went back to the house. Lily was telling Sam all the pretty things that she saw in some stores along the way, and he was listening to her, but he never let go of my hand. I was like a balloon full of Helium. I was floating in the air... Happier than ever!

That night the whole group went to the Brazilian Brasa show to celebrated Sam 18’s birthday. Sam was always at my side, and Johnny was glued to Lily. Everybody have a wonderful time eating and drinking. Alice was also living the time of her life, you could see in her eyes how much in love she was.
