I didn’t quite know what to say when Sam finished.  He was from the future?  And he and I… get engaged?  We fall in love and he becomes MINE?  Wow, I just couldn’t believe it.  I grew very skeptical.  We were still sitting on the bed when Sam had revealed his secret.  “How am I supposed to believe you?  How can I be sure you’re from the future?” I asked.  How was I supposed to be sure?  Sam shrugged his shoulders.  “You could just believe me…  Well, what can I say to make you believe me?” he inquired.  How was I supposed to know?  I was silent.  I didn’t know what would make me believe him.  “Okay…  Well, you’re mother’s name is Sarah, and your father’s name is Mike.  He died when you were 10,” he stated.  How would he know that?  I mean, there must have been some information on the internet about me or something… some sort of file on me.

“That still doesn’t help me.  I need you to tell me something that no one else would know…. That you couldn’t find on a file…” I protested.  Sam was growing frustrated.  Suddenly something popped into his head.  “You have a scar on your right inner thigh,” he stated simply.  I froze in place.  How could he know that?  It was true.  I really did I have a scar there.  “How did I get it?” I asked, hoping he was just lucky.  Now Sam was smiling.  “You fell off of your bed when you were jumping with your teddy bear, Mr. Pink, when you were 5.  I laughed so hard when you told me that story,” he replied.  I was in shock.  That story embarrassed me; I would never tell a soul about it.  Yet somehow, Sam knew.

“You’re telling the truth,” I breathed as I got to my feet, feeling a little scared.  Sam got up and came to my side.  “Of course I am, Kat.  And you have no idea how badly I wanted to tell you that day that I spilled that coffee on you…”  I could feel my cheeks growing hot.  “But I couldn’t say anything because I was afraid you would run away and I would have lost you forever.  And when I came to the diner, that was a coincidence.  When I said it was nice to see you smile again, I really was talking about you,” he explained.  I was his girl…  The girl he was so desperately in love with was me.  “You have no idea how badly I just wanted to take you into my arms and hold you there forever… To just kiss you like there was no tomorrow… To breathe you like air…”  Suddenly he pulled me close to his chest.

Stop!  I can’t take this anymore…  I stared into his eyes and I could see the passion burning in them.  It was so unbearable.  “I love you,” he whispered.  “I need you,” I answered back.  Suddenly, our lips touched.  As soon as that happened, it ignited like a fire.  I grabbed the back of his neck and stroked his hair.  With one hand, he grabbed me close, and with the other, he stroked my face.  Oh, that kiss…  I was so lost in that kiss!  It was as if there was nothing in the world that could hurt us.  I didn’t even know that the world existed for that moment in time.  It felt so good to finally kiss those lips I had longed for since I first laid eyes on him.  The weird thing was, it wasn’t just a physical attraction.  For some unexplainable reason, I was in love with him.  I was really, truly in love with him.  It was as if I had known Sam forever, and we were finally reunited for the first time in years.  I didn’t know how to explain that.  It terrified me and exhilarated me at the same time.  Sam pulled me closer into an embrace as his lips lightly drew away from mine.

“Wow,” I whispered.  It was just like I had dreamed it would be.  Though there weren’t real fireworks, I could feel them in the pit of my stomach.  “I agree…” Sam replied.  He smiled at me and for the first time, his eyes had light in them.  They were no longer dull.  “I missed you so much, Kat,” he whispered as he pulled me even closer, if that were possible.  I still had questions that needed to be answered.  “Sam?” I whispered.  Sam pulled his head back to look at me.  “Yeah?” he replied.  “How did you get back here?”  Sam shrugged his shoulders.  “I’m not sure you would believe me if I told you,” he said.  I rolled my eyes.  Please…  “Come on, Sam.  Right now, I think I would believe whatever you say,” I replied.  Sam let out his sexy laugh again.  Oh, that laugh sent tingles down my body…  “Time machine,” he stated simply.

Oh, why didn’t I think of that?  “You mean the 1967 Volkswagen is a time machine?” I asked eagerly.  Sam began to chuckle.  Guess not…  “Not exactly like the movies, Kat,” he replied, pulling me to move onto the edge of the bed.  I sat down impatiently.  Well then how does it work?  “I met an amazing man who created a portal that I could go through to save the future.  I only got one chance to get through, and I only have one chance to get back.  It’s really just a hole in the space time continuum,” he explained.  Oh, just a whole…  “Well, how will you get back?” I asked with curiosity.  Sam pulled out a cell phone from his pocket.  It looked very technological.  “I get back with this.  I have to put the year, month, and day.  It only works once, so I have one chance to get this right,” he said, showing me the phone.

A phone… That actually would make lots of sense… More than a time machine car…  I smiled to myself.  Sam noticed.  “What are you smiling about?” he asked.  I shook my head.  “It’s just that it’s so hard to believe that you’re real… My prince charming is real… “I replied.  More questions began popping into my head, but I figured that I had asked enough questions for tonight.  Sam laid his head on the pillow behind him and motioned for me to lie down next to him.  Of course, I was more than willing to do that!  Sam put his arm around me and kissed me on the forehead lightly.  I felt so safe in his arms…  “I missed you so much, Kat…  In the future, you’re dead… I have to change it… I just can’t live without you…”  I put my finger to his lips to quiet him.  “Not tonight, Sam…” I whispered.  I was done with his talking.  It was time to resume what we had started.  Sam smiled as I leaned in closer.  He lightly put his lips against mine and we drifted off to another world again…
