Sam was standing out side by his bike wondering if he was just going to play a trick on her, she was debating on if she should just head home. When she was about to leave she heard a voice behind her.

"Hey I thought you stood me up."

"well I thought the same thing about you."

"Why would anyone stand you up. Have you ever ridden on a motorcycle?" "Umm No."

"Well once I get on get behind me and wrap your arms around my waist and put your feet here."

Sam did as instructed and then he started his bike and every head in the parking lot turned and looked at them. She had never been the center of attention and it was scaring her, but what scared her the most was the man her arms were around, he made her feel alive even though she didn't know him at all she trusted him completely. He drove for about ten minutes when he turned in to a drive way, and at the end of it was the biggest house she had ever seen, with what she imagined was a beautiful garden in the spring.

He stopped the bike in the front of the house and he got off, he helped her off the bike. She still couldn't believe that she was going to see the inside of this place. When they walked in she couldn't believe how big this place was, lots of red and gold on the walls.

"This house is beautiful."

"So are you."

"Ummm…We should start this work I have to be home by seven."

"Oh we can go to my room, we shouldn't be interrupted by my family."

Jason led Sam through the house and she just looked around at everything, this place had more hallways than there school. Once they were in front of his door he stopped and looked at her.

"If this is weird we can go somewhere else."

"No its fine." she lied.

They walked in and his room was not what she expected. It was blue and black. He had tons of car and motorcycle books every where, but no posters of any half naked girls and she found it funny. Don't all guys have naked pictures of girls on there walls?

"Well where do you want to start?"

"Where ever is fine." "Ok we have to read all of this and do all thirty questions so I suggest we get started."

They had been working non stop for hours when they were finally done. They hadn't said much while they worked but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence, he actually enjoyed that fact that she didn't need to talk every few seconds.

"Do you want to stay for dinner Sam?"

"Oh I cant I have to get home before my dad starts to drin…."

"Before what.?" "Before he gets home. I need to make sure his dinner is ready."

Jason didn't believe her but he couldn't keep her hostage. They grabbed her stuff and put it in her bag. He lead her down the stairs and grabbed keys for a SUV, it had gotten colder since this afternoon and he didn't want her to be cold. He opened the door for her and once she was in he closed it and climbed into the drivers seat.

"So where am I taking you?"

"Umm, Kelly's if you don't mind, my house is next to it."

"Ok. I want to ask you something, but I don't think your gonna like it."

"Ask away."

"How did you get that black eye."

"it's a long story."

"I've got time."

"Well I'll give you the short version. I live with my dad and he gets way to drunk and loses his temper. So once in a while I am his target. Its no big deal I've been doing this for years its nothing that I can't handle."

"Still no man should ever hit a woman."

They drove in silence the rest of the way. Sam had never told anyone about Cody hitting her, she never had anyone ask. She was shocked that a person she didn't even know asked her. What surprised her even more was that he had a death grip on the steering wheel, his knuckles were white. Jason stopped the car at Kelly's and as Sam went to get out he stopped her…

"You know Sam if you need anything you can call me."

"No offense Jason but why do you care? I've lived her all my life and not one person cares what happens to me. All they do is stare or talk behind my back. So again Jason why do you care?"

"I was raised to treat women with respect and obviously you need someone to talk to, and I would love nothing more than to kill the bastard who hits you. But if I kill him the state will take you from me."

"Jason I'm not yours."

"Not yet but you will be."

Jason got out of the car and pulled Sam in to an earth shattering kiss. He grabbed her head and pulled her body closer to him. They kissed for five minutes before he finally pulled away, they didn't say anything to each other but they didn't have to. There eyes said it all. They parted and Jason got back in his SUV while Sam walked down the street to her house. All both of them could think about was what just happened and how it would effect tomorrow and the weeks to come.
