Girl in the White Dress: Sam's Story Read Online Free Page B

somewhat hesitant of getting into anything with anyone, but then I met you and I felt such a connection that it freaked me out. I don’t want to get hurt again.”                           
                  “Aw, Matt,” I said. I was glad he had a good reason for being a weirdo. “I’m not going to hurt you. I feel the same way about you.”
                  “Really?”
                  “Uh, yeah. Did you not notice how I felt?”
                  “I guess I was too worried that you wouldn’t like me to notice that you actually liked me.”
                  “Yeah, ya think?” I decided now was a good time to give him a kiss. Yup, definitely a connection.
                  “I really like you, Sam.”
                  “That’s good because I really like you, too, Matt.” He kissed me again. He walked me back to my room. “Goodnight, beautiful.”
                  “Night.”

                  The next few months came and went. We were Fred and Wilma for Halloween and he came home with me for Thanksgiving because his parents went to Europe. It was around finals that things started getting weird. We were studying one day and he had a strange look on his face. “What’s wrong?” I asked.
                  “I know this is really bad timing, but I talked to Kelly yesterday.” Kelly was the ex-girlfriend.
                  “I see,” I said. This did not sound good.
                  “She wants to meet me for lunch tomorrow.”
                  “Uh huh.” What did he expect me to say? Yay?
                  “Would you be ok with that?” Seriously? I did not know any person that would be ok with their current significant other meeting up with their ex.
                  “Um, no,” I said.
                  “Oh.”
                  “What?”
                  “I kind of already told her I would.” What the fuck was his problem? Why on earth would he think I would be ok with that?
                  “Oh,” was all I said.
                  “I’m sorry.”
                  “Uh huh. Fine. Whatever.” Why did guys never think things through? Why would he think I would be ok with this?
                  “Sam?”
                  “Yes?” Ok, I was quite annoyed.
                  “I really am sorry; I will call her and cancel. I’m stupid. Obviously this puts you in an awkward position and I should have thought of your feelings.”
                  “Well, how would you like it if I met up with my old boyfriend?”
                  “I wouldn’t.”
                  “Ok, then.”
                  He got up off the bed and came over to me at the desk. “Forgive me?” He gave me the puppy dog face. Damn him. He gazed at me with those big brown eyes. Ugh, he wins. “Of course. But first,” I handed him the phone.
                  He called Kelly and told her he was unavailable to meet with her because he was spending time with his girlfriend. Yay for me!
                  “Ok, all done. Are you still mad at me?” he asked.
                  “No.” Like I could stay mad at him. Whether I wanted to admit it or not, I was falling in love with him.
                  I decided to go for a walk before we went out to dinner. I was apparently off in la la land because the next thing I knew I was on the ground.
                  “I am so sorry. I didn’t see you there.” I looked up and saw a very handsome man. I guess it was ok if I was knocked over by a cutie.
                  “It’s alright. I wasn’t really paying attention to where I was going either,” I
