"Brooke, stop wait," they stopped on the doorstep, "Look
at me. I am
so not dressed to be out anywhere."

Brooke’s hand shot out in a dismissive gesture.

"Oh, stop it Sam, you look cute. I promise."

Sam stood in silence as Brooke gave her a once over. The camo pants
and hoodie made her look skaterish especially with her long hair,
which was partially under the hood. Brooke reached out and pushed
the hood back. Her hand grazed Sam’s smooth forehead and the top
of
her hair on its way. She finished with tucking the errant strands of
hair behind Sam’s ears and cleared her throat.

"There you look great."

After all that Sam felt the need to shed the hoodie. It was too hot
to be wearing this outside, she told herself. When she pulled it off
the edges of her black fitted t-shirt lifted up and Brooke had a
full on view of her lower abdomen. Wow, she had never noticed how
toned Sam actually was.

"You been working out McPherson?"

Sam blushed but quickly regained her composure.

"I run every morning and we do actually have a gym in there ya
know," she pointed to the house, "So yes, to answer your
question, I
do occasionally take advantage of my current residence and work…
out"

Brooke tried to keep from smiling but failed miserably.

"You’re full of surprises aren’t you."

That comment got the hoodie tossed at her and a view of Sam’s
retreating form stretched out in front of her. The waft of Sam smell
from the apparel assault invaded her nostrils and her head turned
slightly to the side as she watched Sam walk away. What was it about
this girl that made her feel giddy.

Sam waited patiently at the car for the door to be unlocked. Once
they were in, they zoomed down the driveway and into the warm day.
The sun was beating down, which made Sam glad she had taken off her
hoodie. Brooke had the offending article of clothing in her lap. She
hoped that Sam wouldn’t notice. She just really liked the smell
that
was still emanating from it . She had always thought that Sam
smelled good. It was a mix of a lot of different things including;
shampoo, lotion, a tiny bit of perfume and natural Sam smell. It
made Brooke wonder what she herself smelled like. It was odd she had
never actually thought about it. She had been told that she did
indeed smell good, but that had been the various boys she had dated,
Josh and Harrison being the major two.
