Chapter 2: the invitation
"Hey." said Jason when he opened the door to see the love of his life standing in front of him.
"Hey, so you sounded a little weird on the," Sam wasn't able to finish her sentence because the second the door was closed Jason pinned her wrists against it kissing her. "Hey not that I'm not enjoying it, but what's going on with you?" said Sam when her need for oxygen overpowered the desire for Jason to keep kissing her
"I realized something today, I can't keep taking you for granted." said Jason softly as he placed another soft kiss on Sam's lips. "When I was in Pentonville I thought about two things, keeping Michael safe and how much I missed you."
"I missed you to." said Sam leading Jason to the couch. "Now what's this all really about? You're free and Michael is safe, that's what's important. Protecting that kid is next to breathing for you I've known that since day one."
"And because of that instinct I lost a lot of time with you." said Jason. "I've been so focused on the danger Michael was in that I forgot to be thankful for what's good in my life, I'm sorry for that."
"Apology accepted." said Sam knowing it took everything Jason had to say he was wrong. "So is that why you wanted to see me to apologize?"
"That and to ask you if you would have dinner at the Metro Court with me tomorrow night?" said Jason taking Sam's hands in his. "I left you alone here to go to prison then all that craziness with Franco it wasn't fair to you, I was hoping that you'd let me make it up to you."
"Sure." said Sam impressed with Jason's forethought. "I'm guessing you talked Carly into reserving the whole restaurant for the evening, i know how much you hate crowds."
"For as much grief as she causes me there are advantages to being Carly's best friend." said Jason. "She promised me we'd have the place to ourselves."
"Remind me to thank Carly the next time I see her." said Sam lowering her voice."It's about time the two of us got a little privacy. Between your crazy family and my crazy family it's amazing we ever get any alone time."
"I know how to fix that." said Jason sweeping Sam into his arms and standing up. "Spinelli won't be here all night, so I can show you just how much I missed you."
"I'd like that." said Sam linking her hands behind Jason's neck. "I love you."
"I love you to." said Jason kissing Sam as he ran up the stairs with her in his arms. Walking into the bedroom Jason used his motorcycle boot to close the door. As he laid Sam down on bed and pulled her shirt off over her head it was no different than the first night he made love to her. "This is what I missed most when I was gone." said Jason stroking Sam's hair as her head lay in his chest. "Just being able to be here with you, simple stuff, I thought about it every night before I fell asleep."
"So did I, I lost track of how many nights I ordered Chinese and then just passed out on the couch." said Sam. "Falling asleep never seemed right without your arm around me."
"Well you don't have to worry about that anymore." said Jason his fingers twirling Sam's hair absent mindedly. "I'm back here with you and I'm not going anywhere."
"Yeah the compass you gave me helped me remember." said Sam touching the necklace. "We can always find our way back to each other."
"I lost you before Sam" said Jason. "And I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen again."
"I'll tell you something I learned a long time ago." said Sam. "You and I stay together and honest with each other we can get through anything and come out the other side stronger for it."
"Thank you, I know it can't be easy to always stand by me." said Jason. "It means a lot to me that you do."
"You're welcome." said Sam. "You would do whatever it takes to protect your family, I don't think I could love you if you were anything less."
"Your amazing."
There it is and you have my word that everything that happens before during and after the proposal will occur in true JaSam style a nagging friend here an interruption there you know the things that they had when we first fell in love with these two.
