Sam jumped back in shock. She looked at Lucky as disbelief, rage and most of all hurt all warred within her. Quickly she went to the other side of the hot tub as Lucky's voice calling her back was drowned out by memories of the word he had just spoken. She ran into her bedroom and dressed hurriedly . She felt numb by what just transpired, but she knew she had to face him, so she took a deep breath, fortified herself and opened her bedroom door and went into the living room. Lucky stood there with a chagrined look on his face. He started talking and she really didn't hear a word he said until he had the audacity to bring up Jason. Jason? she laughed! What does Jason have to do with you calling me Elizabeth's name as we were about to make love? For weeks now you have been going on and on about Jason , even to the point of accusing me of having feelings for him. I asked for your trust , your faith in me. The same faith and trust I gave you unwaveringly. Sam ... No Lucky I am not finished! Time after time, when you were with Elizabeth , even when the boys weren't around, I trusted you, I didn't make a big deal out of it. Now after all your anger and frustration about what you thought was happening with Jason, I am left to wonder was it just an excuse, An excuse for you to do what you want , which is walk away to the woman you just called me in our most intimate moment. . Sam, you have every right to be angry. We started out so well and our ex's have gotten in the way, as Sam listened to him go on, she became increasingly cold inside. Lucky I don't want to deal with this right now. Please Leave she said as she opened the door. When I sat here and wanted to talk, you kept walking away, now when you need to say something it's different? just leave my house. Sam this doesn't have to be the end of us. Just think about it. After all we have been through, I don't want it to end over this. Sam kept her gaze averted and Lucky sighed and left.
As Sam closed the door she crumpled to the floor. She felt defeated inside. She thought about Jason and his betrayal. She thought about how at the darkest time of her life she found Lucky and how she began to heal. Every memory since they began came crashing back. She swore she would never give her heart, she was wary from the beginning, but he made her feel as if she could believe in him. That maybe, just maybe she could take a chance one more time. Afterall this was the man who knew what she went through, the man who had gone through the exact same thing. Now she just felt as if nothing would ever be right in her world again. Maybe it's karma she told herself. All the games she played with others lives, sleeping with married men, What she did to her own mother, Maybe this is what she deserved. Sam felt the first tear hit her hand and before she could stop herself, the floodgates opened and she was overwhelmed by pain and hurt. The tears started falling faster and heard herself sobbing uncontrollably.
After the storm was over she felt the cold hand of resolve squeeze her was left of it anyway. NEVER AGAIN will she leave herself vulnerable in that way ever went to the bathroom washed her face , came out retrieved her coat and prepared to face the next phase of her life.
