The kiss. Oh that kiss made her fall for him even more. Her heart raced faster. She tried to pull him back in for a longer one, but he already had his back turned and getting his clothes on. Letting out a little sigh as she watched him. " Oh don't mention the dinner, Im already starving as it is, Sam." she smirked back " Oh and I'll have a very sweet surprise for you then." Thats when she moved in and wrapped her arms around him, giving his cheek and neck some nips and kisses before stepping away back at the door "That would be fabulous. I'll be home before you even get back home from school. But im not spilling anything out from here on. Plus your dad and I should catch up on some Gang stuff im sure theres something he wants me to do now "

(I'm so sorry for the massively late response!!)

Sam raised his eyebrows a little when she mentioned a surprise. What kind of surprise? A good one he hoped. Although he didn't get his hopes up, and just remained quiet yet curious for now. It wouldn't be long before he found out what it was anyway. He glanced down at his watch to check the time. He still had around 30 minutes before he needed to leave, so he pulled his socks on and sat down at the edge of the bed, gazing up at Valerii.

"I understand. I'll keep out of the case. I know it's personal," he said with a quick smile before running his hand through his freshly styled hair. Sam was tired, but Valerii kept him alert and awake, as she always intruiged him with her conversation. It was interesting, just listening to her. Sam let out a small sigh before leaning over to grab his laptop and other belongings for college, placing them into his backpack neatly.

Valerii watched him prep himself as he got ready for school " Do you mind dropping me off at your dads?" I asked " I dont have anything else to do anyways." She looked up at him once he sat on his bed " You have a life, Sam. Just, I dont. Well.. a normal life at least..."

I really didnt want to leave him, even though he was just going to school. But I also didn't want to go back to my house and deal with my father. He was too much to handle at this point in time and I just wanted some alone time away from him.

Sam paused what he was doing and glanced over to her and nodded. "Of course. No problem," he spoke kindly. He was happy to take her, he didn't really mind. After all, Valerii still had quite a few things to discuss with his father so it wasn't that big of a deal. Sam was curious as to what they were discussing, what big plan they had and what they were conjuring up. But, he made a promise to keep his nose out of that side of business.

In a way, he was glad of it. Sam didn't really want to get involved. The only reason he would want to know was out of pure curiosity and to help Valerii. It was clearly taking its toll on her and he wanted to support her. But if he doesn't know the facts, he would find that quite difficult. Sam cleared his throat and pushed himself off the bed and to his feet. "Shall we get going?" He asked, slinging his backpack over his shoulder and glancing back to Valerii.

I nodded. I got off the edge of the bed and soon dollowed after him down the stairs and outside. Then into the confines of his car.. I buckled in and let out a sigh " I'll keep you updated, Sam. Then its Date night, right? I asked once we got onto the road. I had so many questions as to why a date. We just met a few days ago. But there were some physical feelings I felt toards him and I could tell he had the same thing, But he was a college student and I was a big town daughter of a gangster leader. Nothing really too special. " And also... dont let other girls get too close..." I said looking at him from the corners of my eyes "Once im connected to someone... im kinda.... protective." I said " Besides... no one dares to mess with me... I *do* have a gangster dragon tattoo, dont I?" I chuckled

Sam slipped on his shoes that were placed by the front door before exiting his house, locking the door securely once Valerii had left as well. He unlocked his car, pushing his backpack onto the back seat before entering the drivers side of the car. He let out a small sigh, before buckling his seatbelt and starting the engine. Soon enough, they were driving down the road in the direction of the police station where Valerii wanted dropped off.

As he drove, Sam glanced over to her and chucked as she warned him to stay away from girls. Or they should stay away from him. "Don't worry, I'm only there for my studies," he reassured her, a small smile appearing on his face. Sam knew she was protective, whereas Sam was a lot more laid back when it came to dating. He never pressured or pushed things forward. He just went with the flow. Sam grinned, remembering the dragon tattoo on her neck. That was pretty cool. He knew when he noticed it for the first time that she wasn't to be messed with. It was definitely a factor that attracted him to her.

I sighed " I just.... I dont know how Im going to be a normal human... ive only known how to be a in a gang... since I was a kid..." I spoke as I looked out the car window. " ive been in contact with my dad and he wants me to go back to his gang so I could help out.... but.. your father knows who I am and what I am... so I cant simply *go back* to my old life..." I said before turning my head so I looked at Sam as he drove to drop me off at the station. " I want to do things right...I want to do good for once and not harm people...."

Soon, Sam drove up to the police station and parked up outside the entrance. He glanced over to her as he heard her speak. He listened for a while before shaking his head. "Valerii, I know this will be really hard, and you know I'm here for you," he spoke softly, reaching his hand out to grasp her gently, his thumb rubbing circles on her hand. "You will have a normal life, without the gang. You're doing the right thing by turning them in," he told her, attempting to be reassuring. But again, he didn't really know what was going on. So he found it difficult to comfort her.

"My father knows what he is doing and he will bring justice and you won't have to worry about the gang ever again," he spoke, smiling slightly to try and help. Sam was clueless. He had never been in this kind of situation before, so he found it very hard. He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over, giving her a soft kiss on the cheek. "It will get better," he promised, before leaning back into his seat again.

I sighed " I know, I just... I feel so vulnerable again. I have this feeling something will go down and it will be my fault. Or at least the blame will be put on me." I said as my cheeks turned rosey red from his kiss to my cheek. " I trust your father. I really do, but I dont trust...*me*. What if I do something agaisnt the law and im in jail for it? WHat would you do then?"

I knew this was all my head thinking and me just getting worried over the smallest of things. I looked at him as he soon parked the car at the station. " I know you're there for me, I just.. fear for what will happen." I then turned his head with my hand and leaned in to kiss his lips. a minute later I broke the kiss and opened the door " I'll keep you updaded." I then shut the door and walked into the station, my hands in my tight fitting jacket pocket and the door soon closed behind me.

Sam just shook his head in disagreement with her. "No, you won't do anything wrong. Just do what you're doing now and everything will work out. I promise," he said sincerely, hoping that she would believe him. Sam wanted Valerii to have this normal life she so craved. It was something he really wanted for her more than anything. "Don't you be worrying about me. Just worry about yourself," he reassured her, knowing that she probably wouldn't listen. But it would be worth a try anyway.

After sitting for a while, he let her kiss him. Just a gentle kiss. But it meant a lot to him. He smiled as they broke away and returned back to their original positions. "Thanks," he said, appreciating the fact that she would keep him updated. Sam watched as she entered the station and he buckled his seatbelt back into place, turning on the engine and pulling out of the parking lot. He drove off in the direction of his college where he would be spending the rest of the working day. Studying.
