Alex & Sam - Jeniffer M (graded readers TXT) 📗

to Sam. Yami was talking about her knew swimming suit but I wasn’t really listening because Sam’s arm keep touching mine and I was Feeling mini electric shocks. His fragrance was getting into my core. I was sure that for the first time in my life I was falling in love at first sight.

The first two hours of our trip, we were listening the whole discography of Bon Jovy. Alice was a fan of him too, so we couldn’t it help it. They were in total control of the radio. Instead, Yami and I were looking at the magazine of the beach and activities-to-do in the Santa Monica Beaches. Samuel was interested in what we were talking about and started to ask us questions about it. Yami took the control of the conversation, I was trying to distract myself talking to Yami, but now that he was part of the conversation, I was getting quiet and quiet. Yami was questioning him better than a police officer!! She asks him his full name [Samuel Campbell], his date of birth [July 6], his age [18]. He then, started to interrogate us! And Yami was answer for both of us. Finally, Georges pull the car to a stop in a service station for gas. Yami and I run to the washroom, she was running because the urgent to use the toilet and I for the urgent to get away from Sam.

“Yami! You didn’t stop talking. Do you like Sam?”

“Are you crazy? YOU like him!”

“Shhhhhhh!!! If he is around, he going to hear you!!”

“Ha ha ha, Oh Alex. He already knows! I know you, and I’m very sure you like him. Beside, you have been in permanent bush mode since I got in the car.”

“aahhh!! It’s so embarrassing! I can’t help it!!! I felt like I have a fever, my heart was racing like crazy.”< I was praying the hours to pass by really quickly so I could breath! I just wanted to be a little away from him. I was so nerves.>

“Alex, are you serious? You have known the guy for about 2 hours?’

“And that is making me crazy! I barely know him and he already affect me that badly!!”

“Honey, I have an advice... Enjoy as much as you can. Remember what my grandma use to say “Present is a gift”, so enjoy the feeling, try to have fun, relax!”

“HA! You talk like that because Johnny isn’t in the same car as you are!! Otherwise I would be the one saying “calm dawn”, you know!”

“Girls!” <Alice called us from the door>. “Are you guys done? There are two more hours to go!”

“Coming!” <Yami said walking out of the washroom. I stood there for a few seconds breathing in and out... trying to prepare myself for two more hours of torture. We all got in the car, and Georges stared to drive again. After like 20 min Sam extended his hand to me with three kiss chocolates. I look at him without moving any other muscle. “It’s for you Alex”. <He said my name with such warming voice, that a felt like melting.>

“Umm... Thanks ... Sam” <I started to took the chocolates very careful to not touch him, but he close his hand to touch me anyway. I froze for a few second and turn to look at him. He stared at me a few more seconds and then let go my hand still looking at me. I couldn’t eat the chocolates, and Alice was watching the whole thing. So yea, I was in blush mode for the rest of the Trip! Jus great! Now, not only Yami and Alice knew that I liked Sam... He knows that too!>

When we finally got to Erick’s house in Santa Monica the sun was fading. Erick and everyone else were there and the party was on!. Georges parked the car in the back of the house and we all got off. Georges took Alice’s bags and Sam took Yami’s bag and mine too. Erika, Erick’s twin, welcomes us and then she gave us the tour’s house. Alice, Yami and I were going to share one bedroom; Georges and Samuel were going to sleep in the bedroom next to ours. They put our bags in the bedroom and disappeared. Erika and Alice also went down to the back of the house where the barbeque was. Yami and I took turns to have a shower and refresh ourselves.

The first night in Erick’s house was a party until the next morning. We danced, ate, talked, played cards and domino, we even played twister! That was the first time I enjoy myself so much. Sam and I talked from time to time, and he was a gentleman, getting the drinks for us and always watching out for us. Yami was trying to make Johnny notice her. Johnny was a player, but Yami was crazy for him and didn’t listen when it comes to Johnny. I was just thankful that Johnny didn’t saw Yami in the same way she saw him. I really love my friend and didn’t want to see her heartbroken because of him.

Of course, the day after everybody was with a huge hangover. Yami and I didn’t drink beer o any other alcohol drink, but just spending the whole night awake was enough to drain all your energies. I awake at 11am. I was still tire but eager to go to the beach. I took a shower and got ready, when I got out of the bathroom Yami was waiting her turn. Alice was still sleeping and knowing her, she will sleep until 2 or 3pm. But I didn’t come to Santa Monica to sleep, did I?

Yami and I got to the kitchen and Erica was there making sandwiches for everybody... not that they were awake though.
“Hey Girls! Nice party ha?” <Erica was as fresh as a lettuce. Nobody will think that she was awake all night. How she did it? Big Mystery to me!>

“Oh yea! I think I have never danced so much in just one night! And the food was A+” <Said Yami speaking of the barbeque. I think it was good too, but the best of the party was flirting with Sam!>

“yes, it was!... Erika, is the beach to far if we walk to?”

“Not at all!, you can take the main road and in 10min you will be there. But you better use a lot of sun protection if you are going to walk. Is almost midday and the sun here is really strong!!”

“Okidoky!!, nice sandwich by the way!” <I said. We were almost finished when Sam and Johnny appear and Yami choke with her sandwich. I let out a chuckle and soon after everybody was laughing.>

“So, you are going to the beach?” “Sam asked us, but he was looking at me. I suddenly got nervous. I like to stay near him, but not that near! My body’s reaction towards him was very hard to hide. >

“Um hum... want to go with me? ...I mean, with us... us?” <It was Yami’s turn to laugh!! And of course, everybody else too!!>

“Oh! How can I say not to you Alex... I mean, you girls!! Ha ha!” <He was mocking me... very funny!>

We all four finished and went to the beach. Like Erica said, it was a short walk of 10min and yes, the sun was so strong that you could fry an egg in the street. We find a good spot to put the towels and the umbrella, close to the washrooms and close to the “Cantina” too. The guys left us there and went to buy drinks. Meanwhile, we were putting some more sun block. I particularly didn’t want to get sun burn the first day in the beach. We still have 6 more days and I really wanted to enjoy it. The guys were back and they put the drinks on the side. I notice that Johnny was staring at Yami and when she finally realise this he was already invited her to make a walk.

“See you later honey.”

Yami said to me her good bye and wink an eye... I was pleading with my eyes to her so I would be not alone with Sam, but she ignores me. Suddenly, Sam took off his sleeveless shirt and I was having a heart attack. He was wearing one of those surfers’ shorts, but when I saw him... I was blushing and I think, drooling too.... again. He defiantly was an athlete because his chest, abdomen, arms, shoulders and legs were very well defined. He was a Greek God.

“Would you help me put some sun block cream on my back?” OMG!!! I was about to touch his amazing Back!! My hands were shaking so badly that I didn’t how to hide them.
“Sure... Sam”

“Are you Ok Alex? Have you already been exposing to the sun to much?”

“No, I’m fine, just fine... why?” <Why? Did I put the knife on my own neck!? I was as red as a lobster and not because of the sun!>

“Oh, is just that you are... ehem... never mind. Will you?”< He gave me the sun block cream and I was just wishing for the earth to swallows me.>

I started to spread the cream on his back and OMG! His skin was so soft. The muscles of his back under my hand felt so good that I wanted to put some more cream, more and more and more!!!

I finished putting on him the sun block and then we stay there quiet for a moment. Then he started to ask me what kind of music a liked, and soon after we were talking like if knew each other long time ago. He was talking about the first time he came to visit his father and the first time he went to the Disneyland. He also asked me about school and the rest of my friends. Time with Samuel pass quickly and when Yami and Johnny got back we were laughing out loud with Sam’s funnies stories. We all enjoy the whole afternoon talking and drinking pinacolada, the guys were drinking beer. Then Sam invited me to play tennis and we were playing and having fun.

After the sun finally faded, we decide to get back to the house. Everybody else in the house was ready to go out to some famous bar on the down town. But Yami and I couldn’t get in that kind of place so we decide to stay home. After all of them went out, Yami and I took turns in the shower. We ate some leftovers and went to watch the huge TV to relax some more. Neither of us notice when did we fell asleep, nor either felt when somebody turn off the TV and Lights. We wake up next day with the full body’s energy.
Everybody else was sleeping, so we got ready to go out and enjoy the day by ourselves. I left a note for Alice letting her knows that we were going out so she didn’t have to be worry.

“Ahh it’s a nice day... too bad Johnny pass out last night. They’re going to sleep the whole day, and by the time we’re back, tire!, they will be ready for another night party.”

“Nothing to do Yami, we’re 16, so let’s enjoy what we can... besides, parties are everywhere, but this” <I
