Chapter 4

As the morning sun started to rise over the ocean's horizon, Jace was climbing the ladder to where Baird was camped at for the night watch. As Jace approached, Baird turned towards him and gave him a small wave.

"Hey man." Jace said, he looked at Baird and gasped. Jace saw Baird in the most tired state ever. His eyes were bloodshot with bags, his armor and hat soaked through and his face red due to the exposure of the rain. "Damn dude you look like shit." Jace chuckled. Baird stood up cracked his back and handed Jace the Longshot.

"Fuck you. And don't get shot." Baird snarled. He picked up his gear and headed down the ladder back to the hotel. Baird headed towards his room and dropped off his gear with a loud thud. He was tired, but he didn't care. He changed in to his clothes; which was a pair of cargo pants, boots, and a cut-sleeved shirt. He headed towards the cafeteria to get something to eat, Baird thought about last night when Sam kissed his cheek and he smiled. God that was nice. He walked in and saw nobody there. He walked over to the counter grabbed fruit, cereal, and coffee that the COG had found a few days ago. He smiled for Cole's mission to Hanover. We struck Gold son. He grabbed his breakfast and sat down to eat. At that moment Marcus and Anya came over and saw Baird.

"Baird!" Anya called to him. Baird looked up as Anya walked over and sat diagonally to him and smiled dreamily at him. Baird stopped chewing his cereal and swallowed slowly. Anya still had that dreaming stare at him. Baird stared back at her. Marcus finally took a seat setting a meal down for him and Anya to share. Baird shook his head and continued with breakfast and looked up and still saw Anya smiling and at him.

"What?" Baird mumbled with food in his mouth. Anya smiled wider, and her eyes beamed lighter while Marcus rolled his eyes.

"We know" Anya said slyly. Baird was confused; he raised an eyebrow and took another bite. Anya's smile widened. "We know about Sam" Baird started to choke on his cereal; he hit his chest several times until he caught his breath.

"What are you talking about?" Baird asked. Marcus shook his head. "We were checking the cameras to see if we were all ok then we came across the roof" he said. Baird shifted nervously, but Anya finally blurted out "We saw the kiss!" Baird turned red, he was embarrassed and upset. He stood his ground.

"Look, you guys you caught me. And yes I like Sam, but I don't know how to tell her…" Anya beamed again, she shook with excitement.

"I got it!" she leaned in close so only Marcus and Baird could hear. "Baird we're going to set you on a date with Sam." She turned to Marcus and spoke again, "Marcus take Baird into the west side of the hotel to find him something to wear and I will find something for Sam". Marcus shook his head in disbelief, "Are you sure it's gonna work?" he asked. Anya nodded and looked at Baird.

"Yes I believe it will. So let's get to it" Anya then stood up and ran off to find Sam. Marcus and Baird looked at each other in awkwardness. Marcus sighed stood up and motioned Baird to follow. They walked through the hotel resort until they came across a large hallway. Marcus looked around and finally spoke since the cafeteria.

"Jeez the last time we were here, we were trying to help my dad escape". He turned to Baird and asked him "Do you really like Sam? Usually you guys were yelling at each other". Baird nodded.

"Yea I really do, sometimes she drives me nuts, but I wouldn't have any other way. And besides didn't you always yell at control and therefore Anya is part of control?" said Baird. Marcus gave Baird a respected huff and continued along the hallway. They came along some suitcases; Marcus opened a few and searched through them. He tossed a few clothes to him and stood up.

"Try those on, maybe they will fit and make you look good". Baird nodded and changed into a few combinations until he was wearing a charcoal gray shirt with black slacks and shoes. Marcus looked him over and gave him a nod.

"Lookin' sharp Baird, now get changed you need to hide that style if you're going to impress Sam". Baird got out of his style and put his normal clothes back on. He put his arm around Marcus.

"Thanks man I really appreciate it". Marcus gave a short laugh and returned the gesture. "No problem Baird, let's get the hell out of here".

While Baird and Marcus were out, Anya headed over to Sam's room. She knocked on the door and waited for a reply. There was none, so Anya walked into Sam's room and saw Sam sleeping in her bed she shouted "Wake up Sam!" and pulled the shades up. Sam screamed and fell out of bed; Anya laughed and helped Sam up.

"Come on let's go" Anya said, Sam stared at Anya and said sleepily "Anya it's 7:00 AM, let me sleep". Anya threw Sam her jeans, and a green tank-top. "Let's go were going shopping, we are going to grab some new clothes". Sam sighed "Alright fine I need some new trends anyway." Sam stripped down and got on her clothes and followed Anya out of her room and into the Eastern side of the Hotel. The girls walked through hallways and up flights of stairs finding clothes that would mix, match, and casual. Anya walked by a room and kicked down the door and walked inside. Sam started to look around the drawers while Anya checked the closet. Anya pulled out a navy blue sleeveless ruched mini cocktail dress and gave it to Sam. "Here put this on Sam" she said. Sam took the dress and sighed. Anya frowned, "What's wrong Sam?" Sam sighed again.

"Anya I can't wear this…I don't think I will look good…" Anya smiled and hugged Sam and looked at her. "Sam you're the prettiest girl I know and people know that so put on this dress and do a turn for me". Sam laughed and went into the bathroom, moments later she came out wearing the dress and her hair out of her face. Anya gasped and cupped her hands together.

"Oh Sam, you look so beautiful". Sam smiled and she hugged Anya and whispered a "Thank-you". Anya picked up Sam's old clothes and gleamed with happiness.

"Come on Sam, let's go". Sam smiled and followed Anya back to the main entrance.

Baird was in the garage with Marcus, Cole, and Carmine fixing the trucks. Marcus was a man of his word he, Cole and Carmine found parts and tools that Baird needed to fix the trucks. Marcus and Carmine were inflating the tires while Baird and Cole were ripping apart the Engine blocks.

"Cole hand me the welder" Baird said, Cole picked up a pistol like tool and handed it to Baird. Baird slipped on his goggles and pulled the trigger, as he did a flame shot out of the barrel. Baird carefully welded the engine block together and bolted down a few screws on to the valve cover. Baird removed his goggles and smiled. "Alright that's it, only just more engine to go". Marcus looked over and had a small grin.

"Great job guys, we're almost ready for Anvil Gate" he said. Just then Anya started to walk in the door, and everyone looked up.

"Alright Baird we're all set for this evening" Anya said. Cole and Carmine looked Baird as Baird gave Anya a nod.

"Set for what?" asked Carmine. Anya turned towards Carmine and told him her plan about Baird and Sam. Cole was amazed and he turned to Baird.

"Yo, you're going to put the sugar on Sam and not the tell the Cole Train?!" he asked.

"I thought you or Carmine would run off and tell her", replied Baird. Carmine shook his head.

"Come on Baird we're not that heartless, we would help you out anyway possible" said Carmine. Cole smiled and replied, "Yo, and I know how son".

It was 1600 hours Baird was getting ready for the date and was standing in a mirror double checking that he was looking his best. Jace and Carmine gave him a nod and a thumbs-up until there was a knock at the door. Marcus then walked in and over to Baird. Marcus was wearing a similar attire from Baird.

"I just wanted to wish you luck and give you one last thing" he said. Marcus reached into his pocket and brought out a navy blue tie. "It belonged to my dad, I figured he would let you borrow it" said Marcus. Baird took the tie and he put it on. It looked good on him; Baird turned to Marcus and shook his hand.

"Thanks Marcus" said Baird. Anya then came inside Baird's room. Anya was wearing a light blue dress with spaghetti straps.

"Baird you tied it wrong" she gestured to the tie, she walked over to Baird and retied the tie for him. After she fixed it she stepped back in awe and smiled.

"Baird you look so handsome…Oh one more thing" said Anya. She reached up to his hair and took his goggles. Baird grinned and looked around the room.

"Well…here we go" he said, he walked out of the room with his head held high and walked outside to take his place for Anya's plan.

Sam was in the shower while Baird was getting ready for their date. Sam of course had no idea what was going on, but Sam enjoyed every minute of her shower. Sam stepped out of the shower wrapped a towel around her body and stepped into her bedroom. She was just drying off until there was a knock at the door. Ah Bloody hell. She wrapped the towel back on her body, shaked the water loose from her hair, and answered the door to see Anya there.

"Oh! Hey Anya what's up? Wait, why are you wearing a dress?" Sam asked.

"Sam get yours on were going out" said Anya stepping inside. Sam had a questioning look on her face as if to say "why?" Anya went over to the closet and pulled out Sam's dress and laid it on the bed.

"Sam come on put it on and I'll do your hair" Said Anya. Sam smiled and laughed "Alright I'll play along" she said. Sam closed the door, grabbed her dress and went to the bathroom to change. She then came out and sat in a chair so Anya can do her hair. Anya brushed it, sprayed it and styled Sam's hair until it was absolutely perfect for tonight. After it was done Sam had a medium long bob cut with fine layering. Anya stood back at her masterpiece and felt like she was gonna cry.

"Sam. You look so beautiful" she said. Sam stared in awe, she smiled and hugged Anya.

"Let's go Anya, I feel like a million bucks!" cried Sam. Anya and Sam walked out of Sam's room and headed outside to the beach. This is going so smoothly Anya thought.

As Anya and Sam walked down towards the beach Sam looked towards the railing where the Cog met up after the war and saw a small table with candles, plates, glasses, silverware and bottle of champagne in an ice bucket. Sam was shocked, she grabbed Anya's arm and pointed. Anya started to giggle, and Sam looked at her.

"Anya why are you laughing?! That is so sweet!" Sam said. Anya then started to laugh and turned around to see Baird walk from the other corner.

"I'll take my leave" Anya giggled, she walked away back to the hotel. Baird walked over, held out his hand, and grinned at Sam. "Care to join me?" he asked. Sam looked like she was going to cry she was speechless about what was going on. Sam nodded and took his hand as Baird walked to their table and seated her. Baird took out the bottle of champagne and popped off the top.

"Champagne?" He asked her.

"Oh yes please" she answered. Baird poured the drink into her glass and smiled. He then poured his glass and took his seat. "Sam, you look so beautiful" he said, Sam blushed.

"Thank-you Baird, that's really sweet" she said. Baird smiled a took a sip of his drink. At that moment Cole came out wearing some fine clothes and walked over to the table with two customized menus. "Here you go you two" he said, "What would you like to order?". Sam and Baird opened their menus. Sam looked up to Cole, "I'll have the chicken with chicory marsala sauce". Cole nodded in agreement, he then turned towards Baird. Baird looked up and said "I will have the pork loin with lemon and sage". Cole nodded, "Great choices I will be back with your dishes soon". He picked up the menus and left them in peace. Sam looked across the table to Baird and smiled. "I'm having a great time Baird" she said. Baird grinned, "Sam I really wanted to show you how much you mean to me and I'm sorry I've been so harsh before". Sam grabbed his hand across the table and smiled. Then Cole came back out with a tray of food and placed it in front of Baird and Sam. It looked amazing and smelled delicious. Sam took a bite and closed her eyes.

"Mmmmmm. It's so good" she spoke. Baird took a bite as well and looked up to Cole. "It's delicious! Who made this?!" he asked. Cole smiled, "I'll get the chef" he chuckled and he left. Not till a short while the chef appeared in front of their table.

"How is everything?" asked Carmine. Sam and Baird's jaw dropped to see that Carmine could cook. "How did you do this?" asked Sam. Carmine chuckled, "I'm a huge Gordon Ramsay fan I have like 8 signed copies of his books". Baird smiled, "Well it's delicious man thanks a lot" he said. Carmine nodded and took his leave. Baird and Sam ate their meals and struck up a conversation that involved laughter and tears and happiness between the two. After they finished the sun was setting over the horizon, and Baird stared into Sam's eyes. He was about to say something until he heard music playing nearby. It was Cole playing a jukebox with the song "That's All". Sam smiled and stood up and walked over to Baird.

"May I have this Dance…Damon?" she asked extending her hand. Baird took one last drink and smiled. "Of course Ms. Byrne", he stood up walked her away from the table and danced with her. She laid her head against his chest and sighed. "Baird..sing to me" she said. Baird smiled and he did. Sam smiled and nuzzled into his chest and neckline as he sang to her. As the song ended they stopped dancing, Sam looked up stared deep into Baird's eyes and she leaned into him and they kissed. They were in their own world while they were kissing it seemed like forever until they stopped and embraced each other. At top of the Azura hotel Anya and Marcus were having their own date. As they watched down below Anya sweared that she saw Marcus smile.
