I’m Sam. Let’s get one thing
straight. Marriage is fine for some people, but it’s got nothing to do with me.
If you knew the truth about my past, believe me, you’d understand.
But hey, I’m not complaining.
I’ve got a good job. Great friends. And when I need a little something in the
man department, well… I’ve never had any trouble getting that when I want it
either.
Then Jack has to come along and
screw it all up.
I never saw it coming. I mean,
we’ve been friends for six years. Years. But in one moment… one
gooseflesh-inducing, world tilting, alarming moment… it all starts to change.
Let me tell you something, the
last thing in the world I wanted to do was freaking fall in love. But that Jack
snuck right under my radar.
I’m not too happy about it
either.
Not one damn bit.

(Jack’s
POV)
When I
first saw Sam in this hospital bed a couple days ago, I’d wanted to stroke her
cheeks and kiss her forehead. She was so frail and sick. I wanted to comfort
her. Now she’s starting to get her color back along with a little bit of her
orneriness—a good sign—but I still have this pinched, panicked feeling in my
chest. I don’t know why it won’t go away.
But now,
as I look at her sleeping, that feeling starts to take on a life of its own.
Something
warm is blooming in my heart and my chest. Meanwhile a strange, queasy sort of
feeling grips my stomach. I don’t just want to pet her cheek and kiss her on
the forehead. I want to pull her into my arms and cradle her head against my
chest. I want to climb right into this bed and hold her against me, feeling her
body against mine from head to toe. I want to kiss her on the forehead, and on
her cheeks, and on her lips.
My heart
is pounding. That warm feeling is flooding my chest, my arms, my face.
As I
realize how badly I want to hold her and kiss her again and again, I feel the
entire world flip over.
Oh, god.
Sam.
Is this
for real? Is this what I think it is?
I look
down at her hand in mine. I want to kiss that too, press my lips against her
hand until I make her mine.
I look
back at Sam’s face and see her like I’ve never seen her before. My breath
catches. My heartbeat is resonating in my chest. Her presence washes over me
and envelopes me.
Holy god.
This
little voice inside my brain is thinking, But, but, but… we’re friends. Just
friends.
We may
have been friends for a long, long time, but these feelings I’m having are
brand freaking new.
At that
moment Ashley comes in, giving me a quick smile before looking at Sam. “Oh, she
looks so much better,” she says. She deposits her purse on the counter, flips
her long braid behind her, and comes over to sit beside me. “Don’t you think?”
I’m
barely breathing. Ashley’s looking at Sam, but I’m looking at Ashley. Maybe my
brain is just playing tricks on me. I’m tired from practically no sleep and
exhausted from being so freaked out about losing my best friend.
Friend.
So I try
it on Ashley. I try to see her the way a man might see her, a man who hasn’t
looked at her for years like a sister. But as I continue to stare at her, all I
manage to do is draw her attention and make her give me a quizzical look. My
heart draws a blank.
I try to
imagine kissing her and can’t do it. It’s kind of freaking me out, actually.
“What?”
she asks.
“Nothing.”
My voice
sounds funny. I look back to Sam and it all hits me again. Bam.
Oh, god.
Oh, god.
Oh, god.
Oh, god.
This
can’t be good.
