Never Be the Same
Chapter 10
"Where are you going dressed all
cute?" Dana grinned, a bowl of popcorn in hand as I walked
out of my room.
I bit my lip, i couldn't tell her I had a date with Sam,
she'd think I was crazy!
But I also couldn't lie to my own best friend, that
wasn't fair. She at least deserves to know sooner than later,
right?
"I'm going to a movie," I said, walking past her,
"with Sam." I continued, quietly.
I heard Dana couh once or twice, and I turned around to see her
staring at me.
"Like a date? Kendra! I told you to be careful with
him!" she protested.
"I am being careful! It's one date, we're not
getting married or anything!" I said back.
Dana looked at me, raising an eyebrow.
She raised her hands in defeat, and I sighed as she took a seat
on the couch.
"Alright, alright. Just don't come crying to me when he
breaks your pretty heart." she said with a smile.
I jokingly rolled my eyes, slipping on my shoes.
"Don't worry, Dana. I'm a big girl." I
reassured her as there was a knock on the door.
"Have fun! Don't be out too late!" Dana called out
from the couch as I walked out of the dorm.
"So, where to first? Papa's Pizza, or the movies?"
Sam asked, as we exited the campus.
"Hmm," I said as I tapped my chin.
Almost as if making up my mind for me, my stomach growled
loudly.
"Looks like little Sam made up his mind." Sam chuckled
as he glanced over at me.
I raised an eyebrow. His? How would he know our baby's going
to be a boy?
I rested my hand on, what was the beginning of, my baby bump and
looked over to Sam.
"What if he's a she?" I asked, fiddling with my
seatbelt as Sam came to a hault at a red light.
"Then she'll be kiddie Kendra," he smiled, turning
his attention back to the road as it turned green, "but I
think we're going to have a boy." he continued, looking
at me in the corner of his eye.
I looked back up at him, "What makes you say that?"
Sam shrugged, turning on his blinker to pull into the partially
crowded parking lot of the pizzeria.
"I don't know, it's just a hunch I have." he
said, pulling into one of the few open spots.
"Well, I hope your right," I said, stepping out of the
car.
Sam did the same as me, slamming his door shut before he jogged
to catch up.
"Why's that?" he asked, as we stepped onto the
sidewalk leading to the front enterance.
I looked up at the cresent moon, then the stars, before looking
back at Sam and shrugging.
"I dunno, I've just always wanted my first born to be a
boy," Sam grinned, "besides, maybe he'll be as cute
as his dad." I joked.
Sam stopped, and so did I. He grabbed my hand, and kissed my
cheek before we walked into the pizza place together.
I bit my lip to hide my blushing as the waitress led us to our
table.
I really think Dana was wrong about Sam, as was I.
Sure, he did leave at first, but he's really trying and
proving that he wants this. And I truely think he does
He even had said it himself he'd never had a real family
before, why would he lie about that?
No matter what Dana says, or I say back to her, I could see me
and Sam in the future.
Well, obviously we'll be stuck together like a ball and
chain, but mean together, as a couple, perhaps.
I mean, I obviously am not head over heels in love with him, or
anything like that, but who knows.
My Aunt Lindsey always tells me that God works in funny ways, and
everything will happen for a reason.
Maybe this little baby was God's way of bringing me and Sam
together, in some weird way. You know what I mean, right?
"Hey Kendra?" Sam asked, as I dug into my mozzarella
sticks.
I looked up at him over the stringy cheese between my mouth and
the fried breaded cheese stick.
"Yeah Sam?" I asked after I swallowed my food.
Sam hung his mouth open for a second, working up the courage,
before shaking his head.
"Nothing. It can wait." he said, not really
minding.
I looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds, before digging
back into the food.
What? Can't a pregnant girl be able to pig out without being
frowned upon?
Not too long after, the two of us were finished, and completely
stuffed to our limits.
"Ready to go?" Sam said, glancing down at the
check.
I peeked over at the bill, and reached into my wallet to take out
some money.
"Kendra, save it. I'm paying." Sam warned in a
stern tone.
I opened my mouth to protest, but instead of starting an
arguement, put the money away, and slumped down in my seat.

"I had fun, Sam." I smiled, trying my best to his my
shivers.
Even though I was dressed like I was in New York in the winter, I
was freezing.
I must have been catching a cold.
Sam smiled at me, interlocking our fingers, "Me too."
he breathed onto my neck.
Shivers went down my spine, but it wasn't from the cold air
brushing against my skin, I was actually warm at that moment.
"I'll call you when I'm on my way tomorrow?"
Sam said, and I looked into the opened up dorm door.
It wasn't late, so I doubt anybody was home and would be home
for hours.
Personally, I hated staying alone in the dorm. It was boring, and
never failed at making me feel lonely.
"You can come inside, stay the night if you want." I
said back to him.
Sam smiled, and nodded gently.
"I'd like that." he replied, before we walked
inside.
