Chapter One Hundred and Ten

Joe’s POV

I peered out from under my eyelashes and was thankful when I found that the room I was in was still dark. I yawned and stretched my neck as much as the pillow would allow. I glanced round the room. I caught sight of a poster of my brothers and I being reflected in the dresser mirror across the room. That meant I could only be in one place.

Sam’s bedroom.

Did Sam and I really do what I think we did last night? Did we really take that step in our relationship; the step that I vowed not to take until I was married? I lifted the blankets slightly and peeked underneath. I found both Sam and my naked bodies under the covers. I pulled the blankets back down quickly and tucked them under myself. We had. Sam and I had had sex. I frowned and groaned in frustration at my own lack of self control. Usually it only made me do stupid things like throw myself against walls and spin in circles till I fell over. Was this stupid? Was what Sam and I did stupid? I shook my head in response to the question my mind was posing but I couldn’t help but regret it in the slightest way.

I sighed and rubbed my hand over my face. I propped myself up onto one elbow and stifled another yawn. I reached over and plucked Sam’s phone from its location, half hanging out the top draw of her bedside table. I pressed the unlock key and the screen illuminated. I squinted slightly into the blinding light; enough to make out the time in the top right hand corner of the screen.

11.48pm

Sam and I must have slept the whole day away. I groaned and dropped the phone into the draw. I shifted onto both by elbows and stretched my neck again; this time producing a loud crack. I glanced over to where Sam was lying beside me. She seemed undisturbed by the noise my neck had produced. I smiled softly at her sleeping form before me. She looked so beautiful, gorgeous, and almost perfect. What was I saying? She was perfect. The smallest hint of a smile lay on her angelic face; her naked shoulder almost luminescent in the moonlight. She lay on her side; so peacefully. Her right arm was under her head, the left bent beside her resting on top of the blankets. I smiled at the ring on her finger.

I reached with my left hand and brushed the stray hairs off her face and brushed them back over her shoulder. I paused; my hand in midair. I stared at my hand; my ring finger in particular. It looked so naked; so bare without my ring sitting there. I clenched my fist and brought my hand up closer to my face; the tan line on my finger making it easy to distinguish the missing ring. I sighed and looked over at my ring which was still perched on the corner of Sam’s bedside table. I reached across my body and looked at it, before, using my right hand sliding it back on to my ring finger. I smiled at it; happy and content that it was back in its rightful place.

I heard Sam stir slightly beside me. She stretched slightly before her eyes fluttered open. I watched her intently. Her mouth opened and she yawned; squeaking a little at the end.

"Hey,” she said softly. She reached up and rubbed her eye.

“Hey yourself,” I replied smiling at her.

“What time is it?” she asked.

“Almost midnight,” I told her.

“Wow,” she exclaimed; drowsily. “We slept all day?”

“Apparently so,” I responded.

I sat up, untucked the blankets from under my body and slid my legs out from under the quilt and bringing my feet to rest on the floor. I pulled the blankets over a little; hiding my modesty from view, even in the dim light of her room. I grabbed the boxers from earlier off the floor and pulled them up my legs; stopping them at my thighs.

“Where are you going?” Sam asked.

I turned my head to see her prop herself up on one elbow; the other hand holding the blankets against her chest. I stood up and pulled my boxers up the rest of the way; leaving them sitting on my pelvis.

“To my bedroom,” I whispered to her. I don’t think mum and dad would be too pleased to find us both here, in your bed, dressed as we are.”

“Alright,” Sam replied; casting her gaze to the empty spot I had left in her bed.

“Remember, I’m always here,” I told her and tapped my face on the poster above her bed.

“You know I’d prefer the real thing,” she whined softly. She slid herself closer to me and ran one hand down my right forearm and held my hand. “Please?”

“I can’t,” I smiled softly at her. “I’ll talk to you tomorrow. I love you Sam.”

She sighed.

“I love you too,” she smiled softly.

I leaned down and gave her a brief kiss on the lips. With one smaller smile I bent down and picked up the pile of my clothes from earlier that day. I padded carefully to the door and opened it quietly. I peered out; and finding the house in complete darkness and silence I stepped out; closing the door gently behind me. I practically tiptoed my way to my bedroom and turned the knob slowly. I pushed the door open gently and found Kevin asleep on his stomach; one arm bent under his head, the other hanging off the side of the bed. He was snoring quietly. I shook my head and smiled at my older brother. I wandered to my bed and dropped the pile of clothes at the end of it. I was thankful it was unmade. I lay down on my bed and pulled the covers over me.

Sam’s POV

I watched Joe slowly make his way out of my room. As the door shut a huge grin crept its way onto my face. I rolled onto my back and stretched my arms above my head; bringing them back and clasping my hands behind my head. I gazed out at the night sky. It was filled with stars and the moon was big and bright. I smiled out into it. I can’t believe Joe and I actually did it. We made love. We made love and it was amazing. I couldn’t help but be surprised that we actually went there. I didn’t expect it. Then again, I never expected any of this to happen but this was the icing on the cake.

I don’t think beautiful is the right word to describe it but it was. Joe was a gentleman and constantly asked me if everything was okay. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the smile on his face after it was over. It was a look of complete satisfaction. And then he held me close and whispered that he loved me. I can’t help but feel completely happy that it happened. I grinned at nothing and rolled over onto my side facing outwards. I curled back up; clutching the blankets tight to my body. I looked over and the corner of my beside table was bare.

Joe’s ring was gone. I sat up quickly and peered over the edge of my bed; feeling around for the ring. I turned my lamp on and looked around; under the pillow, in the open draw and on the floor under my bed. It only left one option. Joe had put it back on. I sighed and turned the lamp off; lying back down into the pillow. I smelled Joe’s shampoo on the pillow slip and smiled again. My smile turned into a frown and I closed my eyes; determined to go back to sleep. I hope Joe doesn’t regret making love to me.

Okay. So yes, they slept together.
I'm thinking about kind of writing it in the next chapter.
Let me know what you think.
