Double Dare
Chapter 17
Sam's P.O.V
I can't believe Lou had run away. I wanted to know why she ran, but whatever the reason, I was glad she did. I was glad to know Lou. She was fun, and energetic, and I always had an amazing time with her. I knew I should stay away from her, but the more I had thought about it, it didn't really matter if I stayed away from her or not. We had already kissed three times, the last one was definately more than just a kiss, and it hadn't jeopardized my business at all, if anyone had suspicions, I would just say I took my girlfriend on a trip. I decided that it hurt too bad to stay away from Lou, It was too hard and it wasn't worth it if I knew I would just give in again.

"This is an amazing place!" Lou exclaimed, looking out the window at the rainforest.
"I know, it's unreal" I said glancing out my side of the jeep, and then fixing my sight back on the narrow road infront of us. I looked over at Lou, she was in awe. I knew she would enjoy this place, it was colorful and exciting, it matched who she was.
She was currently looking at a toucan that was perched on a vine.
It was a beautiful day, and I was glad that Lou had gotten things sorted out with her dad this morning.
We came to our destination, which was a tall wooden treehouse looking thing, that was on top of a huge slope. We got to the top of the treehouse, and a man strapped us in, I was in the front and Lou was strapped in behind me, her front strap was connected to my back strap so that we would stay together. We both let our feet out from under us and soon we were soaring through the jungle on the zipline.
Lou's hands slid around my torso tighly as she squealed. I grabbed one of her hands and rubbed it reassuringly.
Wind was rushing past us, and we were twising and turning all different directions through the jungle. Soon I felt something else wrap around me and I looked down to see that Lou had wrapped her legs around my stomach just above my hips. She clung onto me the whole time, and I enjoyed it, I liked making her feel safe, I liked the way it felt when her body was wrapped around mine. And I loved that when we reached the end, and I stood up, she didn't let go, I knew she loved it all just as much as I did, which only made me happier.
She finally let go of me and we both took off all of the straps, I turned around longing to see the excitement on her face, her eyes were bright with enthusiasm, and her blond hair was wild. She jumped into my arms, wrapping her arms behind my neck and hugging me. As instinct, I wrapped my arms around her little waist and twirled her. I smiled down at her while she giggled, and then started to walk to the jeep. She soon caught up and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers.
It was all so right.
