Love is a Place Ch. 01: The Puzzle

... possibly a grunt and left.

"Samantha sweetie, I'm so sorry. Like, I didn't think he would be so rude to you."

"You asked him to leave," Samantha was shocked by this, so felt the need to clarify.

"Yes I did."

"Why?"

"Because he was rude to you. You're our friend Samantha. I don't want people to be, like, rude to you."

"Oh." Samantha was tasting something new in her chest. It was very pleasant, like roasted chestnuts. "I didn't realise I was your friend."

Amanda made a small choked noise and hugged Samantha from the side. Samantha found that far from flinching at the contact, she actually enjoyed it. It felt nice. Soothing. Like waves.

"Samantha," Lydia had moved to just in front of Samantha and was squatting down. Her hand was on Samantha's leg. "You're my friend too. And Louise's."

"And mine. I'd like to be your friend too, if you'd like," said Keith, from where he had sat back down.

"Oh." She paused. "I thought you were crying because Tristan had gone and you were upset that you didn't get to have sex with him."

Everyone froze. Then Amanda started shaking and biting her lip. Then she snorted and burst out laughing. Keith and Lydia were also laughing but trying not to. This laughter smelled of rich tea biscuits and cocoa. Samantha wondered if that's because it was good laughter.

"That was really funny Samantha," said Lydia, before confirming her suspicions, "we're laughing with you sweetie."

"Oh. Good. I'm glad." She turned to Amanda. "So, it's funny that you aren't going to get to have sex tonight?"

This made them all laugh harder.

"Yes, Samantha, it's hilarious."

After they had washed up and shared the muffins, apart from the three she wanted to save for Sarah, Samantha was feeling very satisfied. The other three were looking at her and smiling regularly, and she found herself returning their smiles and this made them smile more. Her chest was blooming. She decided that, as they were friends, they might be able to help her with part of Dr Alison's advice.
