Sam had dropped her car off at the garage while on her way to move In to Patrick's house a week ago. Jake was taken aback when she had walked into the shop that day. She looked beautiful. He had a dream the night before. One that had woken him from a dead sleep. He had dreamt he was on top of Sam, on a bed kissing her. He had cursed himself for dreaming such a thing when he was about to marry Elizabeth. Not only that, but Sam had also recently gotten engaged to Dr. Patrick Drake. He and Sam had been spending a lot of time together working on trying to find out his true identity. Sam was smart, witty and determined and he loved that about her. She didn't owe him anything but she wanted to help him anyways. He hadn't been able to stop thinking about her since that day at the shop. They had chatted and flirted a bit. Drew took Sam to Patrick's on an old motorcycle from the garage...

"Are you sure? I don't want to impose on your evening, Sam. I can find another way home, really it's no big deal."

"Please. I insist."

Jake had been on Sam's mind for the past week. Something seemed to click with her and Jake that day. They talked about motorcycles and his new job at Julian's shop. She didn't know what it was about him but he excited her. In a way she had not felt in a very long time. She loved Patrick. She would never intentionally hurt him. And these thoughts she had sometimes made her want to kick herself. But they just washed over her and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She felt a connection to him she just couldn't explain. When she got behind him on that bike and wrapped her arms around him she felt excited. She felt safe. She felt a way she hadn't felt since Jason died.

"Well, if you insist." Jake winked. As they headed out the door, the light from the setting sun caught Sam's dark tanned skin and it was almost like she was glowing. Sam looked back at him with those beautiful big brown eyes and smiled.

"So you get that bike out for anymore joyrides?" Sam asked, trying to catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye. He saw a small smile cross his lips and she wondered if he was thinking back to their bike ride too.

"I have...a couple times actually. Julian said I can take it out anytime..kind of. Thank you I guess for getting things in order around there. It's not quite as much fun without a riding partner though." Jake said nudging her.

"Liz never really did seem like the riding type." Sam said with a giggle.

"You don't think?" Jake huffed. "Liz wouldn't be caught dead on one of those things."

"Patrick won't either. In fact, he wasn't too impressed when I told him about how I got home from the shop"

"Oh oh... I hope I didn't get you in trouble?" Jake had to admit he didn't hate the thought of Patrick being jealous. It kind of stroked his ego a bit. "BUT...I have to admit Patrick doesn't really seem like the adventurous type..."

"Hey now...he may be a doctor but it doesn't mean he can't have fun. He likes to go camping...and for romantic picnics in the park..." Sam's voice trailed.

"Camping? That sounds...fun. Like...sleeping bags or RV? Wait let me guess,"

"RV" they both said in unison and laughed.

"Look, you just seem like a girl who likes to live on the edge a bit. Live in the moment. He just doesn't really seem like your type..I guess." Jake instantly regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth. He should stop. Why wasn't he just letting this go? He was in a relationship himself there was no reason to be questioning hers."

"Oh, you don't think so? And what exactly is my type, Jake. You?" Sam said jokingly. She didn't want to admit that she had more in common with Jake than she did with Patrick.

"No...I'm sorry. I just...you have this really fun side to you. It's a shame if you can't share that side of yourself with someone." Drew looked at her and then back to the road. He wondered if maybe he had gone too far.

"Well, I guess that's what I have fiends like you for, right? The truth is, before that bike ride I hadn't been out in years. It felt good to get on the back of a bike again." Her mind seemed to wander for a moment. He wondered where it was taking her.

"Hey." Jake said. "Why don't we go for a quick ride. Hmm? Patrick isn't expecting you back for a bit. Liz thinks I'm still at work so...no one is looking for us. What do you say?"

Sam bit her bottom lip, knowing it wasn't a good idea considering how she felt on the back of that bike last time. But the offer seemed almost too good to decline. It was getting late and the sun was almost down. They were only a few minutes from the shop.

"Oh what the hell, why not." Sam said with a smile.
