I do not own FSOG E.L James does
The only thing I do own is Samantha Thompson and a bunch of other characters that are not in the trilogy.
I changed Sammie's age to 19 because 18 seems a little young
Chapter 2: The Space Needle
July 1:
My brother comes in and wakes me up
"Wake up and guess where we are going?"
" It's 9 am you fucker can't you wake someone else up or something thing.?"
"Nope. You are my bitch of a sister and I love you." I can hear him walk out of the room and he pulls the Devon card and says "Devon always loved getting up in the morning"
As he says that I get depressed and remember how he loved getting up in the morning and how we would always have morning sex. Which I think is weird but who am I to complain. Just being close to him made me feel whole, but now that is gone. But, today seems like a new day and for some odd reason I have a smile on my face. I pick out my outfit and opt for cuteness and comfort and because it is kind of cold outside. I choose dark jeggings and a cute maroon oversized sweater. I grab cotton panties and a black bra.
As I go to the bathroom I turn on the water and just wait for the steam to fill the room. The steam fills the room quite fast and it feels nice when inhaling. I step in the shower and start washing my body with my lavender scented body wash. I start shampooing my hair with my lavender and strawberry shampoo. The combination may sound weird, but it smells absolutely divine. I don't shave because I am too lazy and I won't be showing any skin.
I am done after fifteen minutes and I feel clean. I look in the mirror and the scars are healing slowly and I am glad because I want the memories of that night to be gone. I blow dry my hair and put serum in it so it has a shiny effect. I want to cut my hair because it is way too long(close to my belly button) ,but I love long hair. Maybe I should just trim it. I still can't believe it is July and it is still raining. After getting dressed I make my way downstairs and I can smell the food.
"Are you hungry?" Father asks.
"I'm starving." I saw with a cheeky grin. My father just repeats my actions. I have always been close to my dad, but after Devon died things have been different.
"We're going to leave soon for the space needle" Addie says. I look at her and smile because I am very excited and anxious because I have a feeling something is going to happen. Usually I have those kind of hunches and they are always right. We have light conversation, but it is never awkward. People call our family "A family of few words" but I don't care. We are the most dangerous people out there because we are capable of killing with no remorse, but that comes with the job. Even though people think we have no remorse we do. Well I do anyways, but I never let it get to breakfast is finished we start going to the car.
"Can I drive myself. Because after we are done I just want to drive around the city and look around." My mother looks at me and opens her mouth, but my father is the one who actually says something. " Yeah Sammie that's fine, but be careful you don't know what's out there"
My dad says it with a smile because he knows that nothing bad can happen to me because I know how to defend myself and I know how to kick ass even though I am only 5"3. Before leaving I grab my dark brown ugg boots and coach poppy back. I check if I have everything in there like my keys and wallet and Samsun Galaxy S3 cell phone. I like android so much better than apple even though I have a Macbook Pro. My parents choose the Escalade and Tony considers driving, but dad just laughs at him and my mom smiles. Tony always wants to drive, but father is always the alpha male and it is funny because while at work dad is a huge pain in the ass,but when he is at home he is the family man. As they get in the Escalade I choose my baby a Mustang GT. I have many cars, but this one holds a special place in the heart.
Pulling out of the driveway I follow my parents. Hearing the sprinkling rain is very relaxing and soothing. I turn on the radio and the music is different. The music isn't bad, but isn't good. I plug in my phone and pick out my favorite band. Mcfly is one of those bands that need to be discovered in the states. Sia is also a favorite of mine and Coldplay. Pulling up at the space needle it seems packed. I find a good parking spot unlike my father who can't find one to save his life. My dad is good at a lot of things, but not finding parking spots. They finally find one and it has been fifteen minutes.
" About time. You guys take forever, I am already 100 yrs old." I smile at my dad
"Don't be such a smart ass Samantha Corey Thompson" My dad just smirks at me. As we make our way through I ask my father "How do we get in? Do we just buy tickets or what" Tony just looks at me and laughs. I give him my death glare and call him a dick under my breath and Addie just giggles.
"Yes Sammie, we just buy tickets. We are also going to be eating here." I just nod and start getting butterflies in my stomach because heights weren't always my friend, but I loved the feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. We are at the top and it is absolutely beautiful. The ocean is breathtakingly beautiful. Just the view is amazing. My mother stands by me and smiles because she knows that I am happy for once since his death.
The ocean is the most beautiful blue I have seen. The ocean blue reminds me of his eyes. After walking around for a little bit I hear my father's name being called and I look around and see a handsome man with his beautiful wife and what I presume 2 kids one is a boy who is tall with blues eyes and tousled blonde curly hair. He seems pretty attractive, but I am more of a dark tall and handsome kind of man. But maybe i should start dating outside of my comfort zone.
The other child is a girl with dark hair, possibly raven colored she seems young probably 16 which is only 4 years younger than me.
My father greets the man.
"Carrick how are you and how is work?" my father shakes his hand.
"I'm good. Work is fine being a lawyer is fun." Carrick says with a smile.
"How are you Grace? Having fun at the hospital?" My father says with a smirk
"Everything is the same." Grace says.
My parents start to have a conversation with them and it seems like they have been old friends or something. "Sorry for me being rude theses are my children and future daughter-in-law" my father says while pointing to us "My youngest and most precious daughter Samantha and my son Tony" "Who is annoying and has a smart mouth" I say with my signature cheeky grin. Everyone laughs and the blonde haired man just smiles at me and I blush even though I try not to. I am usually the girl that guys feel intimidated by, but not by him apparently.
"Yes this is my smart mouth son and his fiance Addyson" my father finishes with our introductions.
"Well this is my son Elliot and my daughter Mia" Carrick says
we say hi to one another but it is kind of awkward. " Where is Christian?" my mother asks. " He is busy with business and all that but he will be here soon. Are you guys also eating lunch here?" Grace asks. My father looks at me and I nod. I don't know why my father asks my permission. Maybe because if I don't want to do something I give him the silent treatment. As we make our way to the restaurant Elliot starts talking to me.
" Hi, I'm Elliot" he says while holding out his hand to me. I shake it and smile "I'm Samantha or you can call me Sammie"
" Well Sammie how do you like Seattle? Does it remind you of London?"
"Yes it does actually. I like it here already even though it has only been a day. Have you lived in Seattle you whole life?"
" Most of my life. I was adopted in Detroit and so was my little brother Christian, but a little while after we adopted him we moved here to Seattle. Mia was adopted here." They were all adopted? They kind of look related, but you never know if someone was adopted or not. " That's interesting I would have never guessed you guys were adopted." He just smiles at me and I see Tony and Addyson talking to me and Addie just smiles and winks at me. I look at her confused and I know why she winked at me. She sees Elliot and I talking and assumes there is something there. I give her the death glare and Elliot just laughs at me and I smile at him.
We arrive at the restaurant and Elliot sits by me. " So Elliot, what do you do for a living?"
" I am a contractor. I absolutely love it. What about you do you do anything for a living?" I think about what I should say and I smile and say "I kill people for a living" I say while smiling at him and he just laughs. " You are one funny chick. We should hang out soon and I should show you around Seattle." I see Addie smile and I contemplate this. He might might want to go out or he is just being friendly, but since I need friends I say yes. He smile gets bigger when I tell him my answer. I see Addie looking at me and I blush. " How old are you Elliot?" " I'm 25. What about you?" " I'm 19 but in a month I will be 20." " I had so much fun when I was 20. Life seemed so simple then even though I couldn't drink yet I still had a lot of fun." We order our food and Elliot and I have a fun conversation. He seems really sweet and funny but too much of a ladies man if you ask me. I see him more as friend material than boyfriend material. I can see myself having fun with him though. After 15 minutes of our conversation I here Grace's name being called.
" Sorry I'm late mom my meeting went longer than expected." I look up and see who that silky voice belongs too. And I look up to see the most beautiful smokey gray eyes.
