[ZANE ALEXANDER MATTHEWS]

Zane was pretty much the world's most boring person ever. He never had anything to do, really, mainly because he had very few friends, thanks to his past. Most people found him intimidating, but he was quite the opposite. He was pretty harmless, actually, unless you pissed him off. Which really didn't take much, especially if it was to do with the few friends he had or his little sister. He didn't mind having few friends, though. He actually liked being alone, he was sort of scared that if he was around people, the smallest thing would set him off and he'd do something he'd regret.

The boy sighed, and ran a hand through the tangled mess that was his hair. Hopefully someone would text him and save him from his boredom. His phone buzzed, and Zane smiled. Maybe there was a God after all. He laughed when he read the text, he didn't even have to look at the sender to know who it was from. kay. and caps aren't necessary, you know. He pressed the send button with a satisfied smirk, and pulled on his old worn converse. He probably should have bought a new pair quite a long time ago, but Zane was too lazy. Usually, if he was going over to someone's house, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic, and he'd probably take an hour or so to get his ass over there, but he liked spending time with Samantha. He'd met her at the tattoo parlor where he worked, he was the one who did her tattoo, and obviously, they started talking, and they got along pretty well. And she was quite attractive, too. So that helped a lot.

He reached Sammy's house in a few minutes, they didn't live that far away from eachother. Which was pretty convenient, actually, because he could go over on nights like tonight when he had nothing to do. Zane didn't really think about how intimidating he looked wandering the streets at night. He tried not to think about those things. The boy opened the door, and announced his arrival a little louder than necessary. He took off his shoes, and made himself comfortable on the couch, making sure there was enough room for her.

"Of all people you could invite over, why me? Not that I mind or anything..." He stopped, and wished that he would know when to shut his mouth sometimes.

Samma grinned softly as Zane sent a text back, she was always texting him like this and she didn't really expect any other response from him besides these. They amused her and she enjoyed annoying him a little every once in a while. She saw him quite often seeing as he lived so close by, she wasn't going to lie, it was a nice treat most times. Anyone could see he wasn't hard on the eyes at all and she had gotten quite addicted to seeing his face ever since getting her tattoo a few months ago. Zane was a fun person to be around, and obviously she had been a bit starstruck ever since meeting him. But she wouldn't admit that to hardly anyone. It just wasn't her style.

Samma sighed softly as she dressed accordingly, nothing too special of course, but something to cause a lingering eye here and there. If Sammy was anything she surely wasn't a slut, and if someone ever called her that it would most definitely be an ex or someone of the sort who had experienced her.. more fun side before. Samantha was only extremely flirty with those she wanted to be that way in front of, she wasn't whore, just a but wild. She could understand someone saying that at a random party, the girl came alive when she was drunk and when she was high she tended to admit and say things that were a little on the blunt side, but that wasn't exactly unlike the girl either, samantha was very well spoken for and she had never had a problem telling a person just how she feels in that exact moment.

The girl jumped a bit in surprise as the boy just walked inside of her house, laughing a bit as he made himself comfortable on her couch, she couldn't help but smirk a bit at him as he immediately asked her a question. It left the girl speechless in amusement for a bit before she was able to turn to him with a smirk and answer, because zane, I like spending time with you, you know that. she said, shrugging her shoulders and laughing a bit as she moved over close to him, not even hesitating to wrap her arms around him and lean against him. She had always been this way with him, he gave off that persona of not caring if she was a little touchy with him, and honestly, the girl had never given it a second thought, she just did things without thinking, and that was why most people considered her wild. She acted before she thought, but honestly, when it came to someone like zane, who wouldn't scoot over close and be as close as possible with him? not many people wouldn't and she was surely not one of them who would.

“Because Zane, I like spending time with you, you know that.” The response made Zane smile. It was nice to have someone who enjoyed his company. Not many people did, mainly because most of them found him to be rather intimidating. Unless they were drunk or high. Then, people seemed to love him. It was kind of sad though that most people were only comfortable around him when they weren’t sober. Not that it really mattered to Zane; he had become quite accustomed to having very few friends. The boy put an arm around Sam, not really thinking anything of it. Most people would see the two and think they were together, and they sort of did look together, sitting like this. But it was just how they were. Even though he didn’t really look the part, he quite liked hugs, and so he didn’t mind if Samantha was a little touchy with him. And anyway, who would pass up an opportunity to hug an attractive girl? Exactly. Nobody would. Or nobody in their right minds would, anyway.

Zane looked down at the girl snuggled up against him, and smiled. Most people would probably assume that he sort of liked Samma, and that was kind of true. She was attractive, and a generally fun person to be around, but he was pretty sure he hid it well. If someone said he did, he’d probably deny it until he was blue in the face, he was just like that. He didn’t like being told what he did and didn’t think, and even if it was true, he still didn’t want to admit it to the whole world. At least, not yet... “So, why are we watching the Lion King?” The boy paused for a moment. Why were they watching the Lion King? He hadn’t questioned it before, he’d come over without any questions asked or anything. “Toy Story is so much better.” He smirked softly at this. Out of the Lion King and Toy Story, he obviously liked Toy Story better. Although there was better movies around than Toy Story, even though it was a pretty awesome movie. Well, Zane didn’t like Toy Story 1 and 2 as much as he liked Toy Story 3. But whatever, that was a completely different matter altogether.

“Do you have anything to eat? I’m hungry.” He smirked a bit. Of course she’d have food. Everybody had food. Well, unless they were homeless and lived on the streets. Zane had to do that once, but hey, he was here now to tell the story, and that was all that mattered, right? Right. He frowned a bit as he thought of the time he had to live on the streets. It hadn’t been a pleasant experience, not at all. But hey, he had no other option. It was only when his sister told him to get himself together that he did. And somehow he ended up in Kingsford. Sure, he didn’t have a lot of money, being a tattoo artist wasn’t the best paying job in the world, but it paid bills and paid for food and kept him off the streets. And Zane quite enjoyed being a tattoo artist. He smiled again, and looked back to the movie. He'd only just realised it, but lately, he'd been smiling a lot. He didn't quite know why...maybe it was so people found him less intimidating? He didn't know, and right now, he didn't care.

Of course Samantha didn't miss that smile that appeared on his full lips as she told him that she liked spending time with him, that alone made her smile with him. Zane didn't seem to have many friends, of course she would never tell him that straight to her face or anything but every time she texted him or asked him randomly if he wanted to come over he was never busy, nor had she ever seen him out and about with friends. She wasn't judging though, it was just an observation, and honestly, the girl didn't mind. Because the less time he spent with friends was more time that he could spend with her, and although she wasn't quite sure of her feelings for him yet... she was pretty happy he could spend so much time with her, she wouldn't lie. It wasn't long before his armed wrapped around her shoulders and she grinned softly as she turned her face to look up at him.

A small wave of butterflies passed over her stomach as he looked down at her and simply smiled. That was all it took for her, really. Ever since getting her tattoo the girl had always felt that Zane was extremely attractive, and she had no problem telling him to his face. He was, and he knew it. As soon as the words were out of his mouth Samma took on a serious expression, raising an eyebrow and smirking at him in a sadistic sort of way. because, it's one of my favorite movies, and I want to watch it. she said with a nod of her head for emphasis. She really wasn't giving him a choice, and she was pretty sure he caught onto that small fact. Samantha could be a kid at heart sometimes, and when it came to her disney movies, the girl would never give them up.

The girl shook her head quickly, toy story is a terrible movie! Lion King is so much better, dude, you're blind! she said, the grin on her lips never leaving her features. She liked this playful banter with him. It was the way it always was between the two, that.. and the tension. God damn the tension! It was so strong for her, she couldn't help it. But moments like this helped, where she could get her mind off of it. She turned her attention back to him, laughing a bit and shaking her head again. nope, nothing. she said with a small smirk, continuing on, I don't know how I'm surviving! We haven't been to the grocery store in weeks! she said, laughing a little louder now.

of course I have food Zane, go get something to eat. she said grinning and shaking her head. He turned back to the movie and the girl couldn't help but let her eyes linger on him. His face was beyond perfect to her. Maybe she was biased, she didn't even care. He was beyond beautiful to her, and her attraction to him was obvious to herself. She wouldn't let anyone know though, the girl was good at keeping such things to herself, although she had told him quite a bit how gorgeous he really was, and the girl laughed almost immediately at the thought as she leaned in to kiss his cheek softly, whispering in his ear as her eyes fluttered shut. you are so fucking gorgeous...

“I am not blind! You’re the blind one.” Zane pretended to be hurt by Samma’s comment, but he couldn’t stop himself from bursting out laughing. He loved how comfortable she was around him, most girls were pretty scared of him. Actually, most girls didn’t talk to him much, mainly because he looked intimidating. He wasn’t quite sure what it was that made him look so intimidating, and he didn’t really care. When it came to what people thought about how he looked, he couldn’t really care less. His sister sometimes said that he looked more like her sister than her brother, all he’d respond with was the fact that he was a guy and he could prove it if she wanted him to. That usually made her shut up really fast. Zane laughed a little bit at the face she’d made when he’d said that the first time. It was pretty priceless. “Nope, nothing.” Zane knew Samma was joking though, the smirk on her features gave it away pretty easily. “I don’t know how I’m surviving! We haven’t been to the grocery store in weeks!” She finished, laughing. Zane shook his head at her, grinning.

“Of course I have food Zane, go get something to eat.” Zane smiled a little bit, but didn’t get up right then, he decided to wait for a bit, and so he turned back to the movie. Samma laughed, and he looked at her questioningly. The movie wasn’t necessarily funny, well, not at this particular point anyway, so what the hell was she laughing at? He didn’t have long to wonder about this, though, because she kissed him on the cheek, and told him for the thousandth time how gorgeous he was. Girls told him he was gorgeous all the time, even though most of them were too drunk to see straight. But whatever, it still counted, right? Right. Zane knew that he was gorgeous, you didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to see it.

“And you better know it.” He smirked, and looked down at her again. She really was quite pretty, but unlike her, he’d never tell it to her. Unless they started dating. Which probably wouldn’t ever happen in a million years, it wasn’t that Zane didn’t like her, because he did, he liked her a lot actually, just he wasn’t going to let it happen. She deserved so much better than him, and he was sort of scared that the tiniest thing would set him off and he’d hurt her, and he’d never forgive himself. Sure, that kid that messed with his sister deserved it, but his best friend certainly hadn’t. Zane frowned a bit at that particular memory, and got up to go see what she had to eat. He settled for a packet of chips, and made himself comfortable on the couch again.

Sam almost snorted as he pretended to be hurt, and a slight roll of her eyes followed shortly after with a small laugh, oh hush, I'm not blind... she said, trying not to find the double meaning in her statement as her eyes roamed his face, her hand coming up to graze his cheek randomly. It was almost impossible to embarrass Samma, you just couldn't. She wasn't easily embarrassed and she surely wasn't going to be ashamed for calling him gorgeous or anything of that sort. She wasn't about to lie though, she wasn't scared of him, nor has she ever been. What was there to be scared of him for? He was a teddy bear. Samma almost smiled at the though, but she knew it was true, he may have looked rough and tough on the outside, and maybe that was sort of who he was, but that surely didn't mean he wasn't a caring person, and she knew that he was, he was nearly the sweetest person she knew.

The girl assured him they had food, but he just sat there, watching the movie with her. Samantha bit her lip, not really quite sure what he was up to, but not about to ask, he would get up when he wanted to and she couldn't help but note to herself how glad she was when he didn't get up. She was leaning on him after all and if he got up it meant readjusting herself, of which she didn't want to do right now. the girl smirked when he turned to her and told her that she had better know it, oh... she did. And yes, she told him that all the time, but he didn't seem to mind it, she just didn't want him to get overly cocky about it, because being cocky wasn't attractive, but.. he was, and he knew it, and she didn't see anything wrong with that. The girl nodded softly, the smirk still in full view on her lips, Oh... don't worry, I do. the girl giggled and bit her lip, her eyes turning to him and watching him silently, around the same time he decided to downcast his gaze at her, it almost made her breath catch in her throat, but she calmed herself quickly, before he was able to notice.. hopefully.

The girl frowned as he got up quickly shortly after, biting her lip and holding herself up with her hand until he found what he wanted and came back to sit by her. He did this often, she knew good and well, and it was honestly annoying really. His excuse would be the bag of chips for the rest of the night, if she wanted his arms to be around her, they would be too busy, if she wanted to do anything really, he wouldn't be available. It was at this time that the girl leaned against him again and rested her head on his shoulder, he wouldn't mind, or at least he never did. That was one thing that the girl could get used to, no, there wasn't much she could do about the way he felt, but he surely was a good cuddler, or at least he tolerated her cuddles, Samantha had never really been able to keep her hands off of him, but it wasn't necessarily just in that way, it was really just about the connection she felt with him, she felt... safe. Even though he had told her thousands of times before that she wasn't. She wouldn't believe him, and she never would.

[ZANE ALEXANDER MATTHEWS]

Zane smiled a little bit as Samma leaned against him, and put the bag of chips down on the floor so he could put his arm around her again. He often used a bag of chips as an excuse to not hug Sam, it wasn’t that he didn’t like her, he was just afraid of getting too close to her and possibly hurting her. And sure, it may have seemed pathetic that he was afraid of something, but he didn’t really care. He looked back to the movie, still smiling. He hated how she felt safe around him, because really, she wasn’t. It didn’t take much for Zane to get angry, and when he was angry, things got pretty ugly pretty fast. And he didn’t want her to get hurt. He sighed, and sort of wished that she’d find someone else to spend her time with, someone who deserved her, someone who wasn’t afraid of getting close to her.

The boy sighed a little, and ran his free hand through his hair, thinking. He wished he didn’t have to worry about getting too close to her. It really sucked, actually, and the thought that he could possibly hurt her was pretty much always on his mind when he was around her. He hated being like this. He hated having to try to deny his feelings for her that were obviously there. He bit his lip, and looked at the floor, and then back to the movie, and then back to Samma, his eyes not staying on one thing for more than a few moments. Zane moved his arm from around the girl, and reached for the bag of chips, taking one from the bag and chewing it painfully slowly. “I really like you.” He smiled at her, and then paused for a moment. Why the hell was he saying this? Not that it really mattered. It just meant that he was probably getting a little too close to her. But Zane couldn't really care less right now. He took another chip from the bag, and chewed it painfully slowly, just like the last one.

Samma didn't care how many times he told her that he was no good and that she shouldn't feel safe with him, she wasn't going to listen to him. Around him, she felt as if no one else could bother her, not unless she brought it onto herself, and even then, she was sure if she didn't want someone near her, Zane would have no problem clearing them out just for her. That was the thing about Zane, she didn't get him, not really. One minute he could be the sweetest thing, acting nice and gentleman like and then the next second he could be frowning and lying to her about doing this or that, just to get away from her. It took it's toll on her don't get her wrong, but by now, she had grown to expect it, and more times then not she had yelled at him or been a bitch back, most of the time being even bitchier to him then he was being an ass.

If it was one thing the girl didn't put up with, it was being rude. And more times then not Zane would be rude to her, she would set him straight without a moments notice, and he knew that. Apparently, she was one of the few people who didn't fear him, and she honestly didn't. the girl would easily march straight up to him and give him her opinion and not be scared or timid about it for one second. Maybe it being her personality or maybe it being Samma knowing Zane far too well (in her opinion) for him really to tell her to back off. Sure he had said some mean things in the past and sure they both had bashed each other verbally here and there.. it meant nothing.. not when they were like this when they were alone.. and even more then this.. what would probably happen later in the night. It never failed for the two to get wrapped up in each other.

It was easy for Sam, I mean really.. look at the boy. Samantha sighed as she watched him for a moment, his hand running through his hair lightly as if he was deep in thought. The girl didn't disturb him, she didn't dare. She was interested in what he was thinking, but certainly not enough to pry and ask him about it. That wasn't her place and she understood that. His arm withdrew from her and she almost automatically frowned, but the words from his lips were a bit contradictory. She cleared her throat, finding that she wasn't able to speak for a moment until she caught her breath. .... say what now..? she said, blinking up at him and biting her lip, wondering if she heard him right. Of course the words that a person would normally say back were on the tip of her tongue, but she wasn't sure he meant what she would mean if she said those words, so instead of repeating them, she waited.
