you,” he smiled at her.
“Tell me Noah, why don’t you have any girlfriend?” She asked him.
“Well… I never found any one right yet,”
“Waiting for someone special?”
“Yup, thought of asking you but you seem to…”
“Oh Noah you are such a…” she laughed at his flirt.
But her laughter suddenly faded from her face. She saw at the center of the room, Stefan along with another girl, dancing together at such an intimacy.
“… Together,” she heard Noah tells something. She forced her eyes from Stefan to Noah.
“I am sorry, what were you saying,” she asked him apologetically.
“You guys are great together. You guys are serious, right?” He asked her unexpectedly.
“I don’t know. May be he’s not,” she stammered while forcing her eyes to Stefan’s dancing girl.
“Give him a chance…” she cut him off when she saw Stefan and his girl walking away out.
“Excuse me Noah, I will…” she left him there and followed them.
They were walking towards the garden, which is always dark with huge trees and walls. She could see the girl leaning over his shoulders and trying to impress him. Her foot made the sound of breaking of thug and she quickly hides herself near the tree. When she turned, she didn’t find them. She searched them and finally found them along the corner. They kissed passionately.
“Oh Stefan…” the girl moaned his name while kissing.
Oh my god Sara…. She thought. Tears were flowing and she ran from there. All the time she thought that maybe Stefan has some feeling towards her. He kissed her many times. She didn’t give him any chance to hook up. What is he trying to do? What she thought of him, is that all wrong? She thought he was the funniest guy but now he turned out to be a player just like another guy. She won’t give him another chance to hurt her. She ran off from that place.
She didn’t inform anyone. She ran to her room and felt the emptiness in her heart. She called her dad that night.
“Dad, where you dad?” She cried.
“Hey sweetie. What happened?” Her father sounded worried.
“Dad, I don’t like here dad. Please come fast and take me away from here,”
“Why? Did someone hurt you?”
“No dad, I hate here dad. I hate living in Rome. Please come RIGHT NOW.” She cried.
“Your mom and I are coming right now darling, don’t worry,”
She cried and cried until her eyelids began heavy and she finally drifted to sleep.
Someone is shaking her shoulder. She woke lazily and looked at the person. He is a guy in a uniform. Sara was along with them. They were talking something that she can’t understand.
“Sam, there is an accident,” Sara said softly.
“What… what accident?” She blinked her eyes.
She hesitated to tell her,” your parents died in a car accident, Sam,”
Suddenly her world began to shatter down. All the people she loved had left her now and she is left alone. When she heard the news, she didn’t cried. She lay on the floor, watching people as they brought the ambulance to her home. If only she didn’t call them….

The car brakes smashed and it came to halt.
“Why on earth are you crying?” He sounded irritated and concern.
She opened her eyes and saw Stefan staring at her. It’s dark outside and cool. She wiped her tears. She didn’t realize that he was there, near to her.
“It’s nothing,” she rolled her window and peeked out for fresh air. She heard the car door open. Stefan was standing out with his coat taken out and his shirt rolled up to his elbow. He lit his cigar and leaned into the car. She wanted to go to him and threw that cigar from him. She hates it when he uses it.
After a few minutes, her side door opened and he commanded her to come out. She did as he said. She leans on her door and look aside to the road. Suddenly his hands were wrapped around her waist and pressed her hard against his chest. Being in his arms, she felt the comfort and was dying to kiss him.
It was as if he read her mind, he leaned forward and kissed. Her lips parted for him and her hands went straight into his hair. His hands were stroking her body. He lifted his head only to travel down her throat and neck.
“Stef” she whispered with a little groan.
He couldn’t resist her and started kissing her urgently.
“I want you, Sam. I love you,” he said these words while kissing her lips between each word.


Chapter 11
Stefan woke up when his phone began to vibrate. He slowly opened his eyes and attended the call.
“Where on earth are you Stefan,” his mom sounded worried.
“Mom?” He was confused.
“Yes, your mom. Where are you both? It’s nearly morning,” he rubbed his eyes and looked around.
“Mom, calm down. We are alright. We will reach in a few hours. I will talk to you later. Bye,” before his mother could say any, he disconnected it.
He looked around to see that he is lying inside the car, covered himself with the blanket. His clothes were spread down along with Sam’s. Fear crept and his mind began to swing. How could he sleep with Sam? And where is she?
He wore his trousers and came out. He called out her name but no response. He couldn’t believe he slept with her last night. Oh god! What she will be thinking now about him… he thought.
He remembered about the last night kissing her. She didn’t protest when his kiss began to deepen. She didn’t protest when his hands went inside her dress and traveled her body. He completely lost control and made love to her, which was nothing he thought of. Why didn’t she protest? Remembering the last night, he couldn’t control the emotions now crept inside his body. Now he wanted her more than anything. Only she could understand him now. She was so soft and untouched.
No, it’s not the time to think what happened last night; it’s a time to go find her.
He searched the whole place; he remembers that last night he stopped in the lonely place, full of trees. The way she started crying suddenly made him irritate him more. Each time he saw her crying it made his heart ache. Only if he controlled last night…Finally he found her sitting at the edge of the cliff, wearing his shirt. Her legs were hanging over the edge and she was completely absorbed in her thoughts.
“Sam?” He shouted from the distance.
She responded by turning back, but when she saw him coming towards her, she turned back to see the valley.
“What the hell are you doing here?” He asked her irritated. She didn’t respond.
“This place is so beautiful; you see the river flowing down and the trees with colorful flowers on them. It’s lovely here, Stefan,” she said softly looking down the valley.
He kneeled down to her,” Sam, we need to talk,”
“There's nothing left to talk, Stef,” she said silently without any emotions. He sat beside her.
“For god sake Sam, listen to me,” he held her elbow and made her turn. He could see her eyes filled with little tears, which she almost controlled. She looked beautiful in his shirt and loose hair. She looks sexy.
“Why Stef, why did you let it happen?” She pleaded.
He sat beside her and sighed,” I don’t know Sam, I couldn’t control you being in my arms,”
“It’s over now. We will forget this thing like the past,” she coldly replied him and turned to stare at the valley.
“Past?” He was taken aback.
“Yes, I think you already forgot.” She still replied him coldly.
“I didn’t forget anything Sam. Not even the day you left me,” he made her turn towards him.
“I left you? I left you because of you,” she pointed at him angrily.
“What did I do Sam? Why did you leave me?” He asked her softly with concern.
“It doesn’t matter now,”
“Yes it matters. I love you Sam,” Why she is doing this?
“It’s nothing but the lust we had last night,” she replied angrily making each other full of hatred.
“No, I made love to you because I love you,” he wanted her to know that.
“Oh! When did you fall for me?” She replied sadistically.
“From the moment I laid my eyes on you,” he looked at her eyes, “I know I had fallen for you when I first saw you at the university,”
Sam’s lips parted, about to protest, but no protest came, unless one counted the small moan which escaped when their mouths met. It was the kiss of the most passionate persuasion, his hands capturing her face and allowing her no room for anything but to return his passion, to drown in it, and then go with it, riding the rapids of desire, racing on and on. She broke his kiss and laid her hands on his bare chest.
“No, this can’t be…” she stammered.
“Yes, it happened. I always loved you,” he responded her while kissing her again lightly.
“But you never told me…” she was still in shock.
“I waited for the prom…”
“But you didn’t come, instead you send Noah,” she burst out.
“Yeah, because I was planning a surprise for you,” he tried to make her understand.
“No, you weren’t planning. I saw you there, kissing Sara,” she accused him
“Hold on,” he couldn’t believe his ears. “You saw that? What did you do then?”
“I cursed you and left,” she grounded her teeth in anger.
“Dear lord, you left me without giving me a chance to explain,”
“What is there to explain?” She pushed him away.
“A hell lot,” he took her face in his hands and leaned closer, “I danced with her to make you jealous, yes I went out with her because I know you will follow me. I even saw you there, but then Sara suddenly dragged me and kissed me. It was not in my plan. She tried to seduce me but I pushed her and came back to find you. But you left me,”
Realization hit her; never had she thought this could be the possibility. She didn’t trust him, he who always loved her. Now the world around her shattered, even she realized now how much he loves her. The last night was the best night of her life. She surrendered herself to him without even thinking, her heart said to trust him and yes she did it last night.
“Oh my god! I… Stef” she started crying.
“It was all a part of the misunderstanding. I never tried to hurt you. I will never hurt you Sam. I love you,” he tried to make her believe.
“Oh Stef. I love you too. Oh my god! How could I do this to you? It’s all because of me,”
“Hey Sam, don’t blame yourself,”
“If I had waited for your explanations, this day would never come and my parents would have lived,”
“What?” He sounded confused.
She told him what happened that night. He hugged her tightly and let her cry on his shoulders. Minutes passed when she finally rose.
“I think we should leave now,” she didn’t look at him; instead she stared at the ground.
“Yes, my mom already called. I will talk to my mom,”
“About what?” She knows what he means.
“About us”
“Oh no
