He laughed, leaning over even more and making faces at the camera. I rolled my eyes, hitting up upside the head once he stopped. I reached over to look at the photos and I hated-yet not really hated- that even when making the weirdest looks on his face he managed to look extremely photogenic.
That's why I said, "No wonder you're a model."
He scoffed, looked over at me over his shoulder, some of his curly hair falling into his eyes. "I thought you were about to call me an attention whore."
"You are," I ridiculed him as his jaw dropped. "But I'm not kidding you're picturesque."
"Ooh big words." He mocked, finally get off me only to make me stand up as he took a seat and we switched places. "But you're the camera worthy one here."
"Yeah, yeah sure I am." I said sarcastically as I had changed the filter to where hearts were hovering over my head and put it back to normal to show nothing special.
Sam's hands gripped my waist as he pulled me into him as he grabbed my phone. He clicked the top button to show the picture I had taken in his room back home. You could see some of our friends in the background, Caleb's hanging upside down off Sam's bed, Austin and Jon Ming shoving each other, Stevie had her phone in her hand as he sat down near Jasmine and Andrew while I knew the twins had been playing on Sam's Xbox but were not seen in the picture.
The focus of the picture was literally taking up most of the screen. I remember I had gotten off track and sat down in front of Sam's full body mirror and held the camera up to block my face. I remember Sam's arms around me, half of his face was hidden behind my shoulder but I could see his green eyes through the reflection practically looking through me.
"That better not have been sarcasm."
"Well it was." I muttered, watching as we both looked through my phone and I clicked my message app. I never deleted most of my messages because I was too lazy and I had nothing to hide from Sam anyway.
He hovered over the one with the Charming contact and the 'crown' emoji I put for Caleb. "I'm hesitating over this because Caleb is a very-"
Strange?
Unpredictable?
Crazy?
"Random person with a weird sense of rationality."That sums it up a bit.
"I know but he calls more than texts and when he does it's usually in the group chat."
"Which one?"
"Ours. Remember when we all had the group chat with you, me, him and the gang and it got so out of control we had to delete it because he wouldn't stop asking if he would look good in a leotard."
"How can I forget that? Then he wanted us to know if he looked good in a speedo."
"And then he bought one."
Sam cringed, shaking his head and closing his eyes tightly. "That image will forever be burned in my mind."
I shuddered as I set the timer for four consecutive pictures. "Say speedo!"
Sam chuckled. "Speedo." I gave a wide grin at the camera watching as Sam did the same and we continued taking pictures on his Mac for a while until my phone buzzed in his hand. Sam looked down at it. "Brandon. Skype."
"Yeah." I told him watching as he replied for me.
I pulled up Safari and logged onto Skype from there. A request immediately popped up as soon and I accepted the call.
Brandon's face popped up on the screen. But he wasn't looking at me. He was looking over his computer, rolling his eyes. "Jacob, PULL OUT!"
"I can't! It's stuck! How the hell did this even happen?" Jacob's voice was heard.
