Samantha had always felt like her parents were hovering over her relationship with David. She knew they meant well, but it had become increasingly difficult to share anything private with them. David was different, though. He never judged her for the relationships she had before, or the decisions she made.
When Samantha's parents visited for the weekend, it was as if they took up all the oxygen in the apartment. The hours passed slowly and conversation was forced. Even dinner seemed to be strained. It wasn't until they were getting ready for bed that David finally convinced Samantha to have a little alone time.
As soon as the door clicked shut behind them, David had Samantha in his arms, his lips on hers. Her heart raced as she felt him gently pressing her against the wall. She melted into him, craving more of his touch.
They rubbed all over each other's bodies like it was the first time, feeling their passion grow with each caress. It wasn't long before they were undressed, breathing heavily as they held onto each other.
It was both a desperate release of pent-up sexual tension, and a declaration of their feelings for one another. They knew the weekend would be over soon but they couldn’t wait they had to seize this opportunity. In the quiet of the night, with only the sound of their gasps and moans, they proved to each other that they were willing to take risks for love.
As the night wore on and the passion subsided, Samantha and David curled up together, sharing secrets in the dark. It was in that moment, after sharing everything from what they just experienced to flipping coins to see who was cooking breakfast in the morning, that Samantha realized how much David had changed her life.
She had always felt pressured by her parents' expectations and judgment, but David showed her that life didn't have to be so serious. She found a comfort and safety in his arms that she had never known before.
The next morning, after Samantha's cooked breakfast David and her parents were all smiles and happy chatter, Samantha was trying not to look at David with seductive eyes but she knew that her parents were oblivious to the late night events that had taken place right under their noses. For her, that night with David was a revelation; a reminder that there was always something more, something worth fighting for.
