Sam looked up from the magazine she was reading when Alex took a seat on one of the sofas.
"The crazy lives of celebrities." She said.
"Sam we need to talk."
Sam sigh and said. "I know."
"Why don't you like talking about your past Sam?"
Sam saw the serious look on Alex face. This was a different Alex infront of her. She sit up straight and put her legs under her. "Alex look my past does not define who I am. I'm not at that point in my life that I'm comfortable or in the right state of mind to talk about it to anyone. I don't want you to feel like I'm pushing you away by doing this but please understand. I will tell you when I'm ready."
Alex looked long and hard at her. "I just don't know anymore Sam about us. Where I really stand with you."
Sam got up to her feet and walked to him. Kneeling in front of him she took his hand in hers. "Alex I love you and yes I do stupid things just to push the people away that loves me so much in this world. You are the first person I let into my small world after my sister's death. Please Alex you are all I have in this life."
"You never talk about your sister. It will help you if you talk Sam don't keep it bottled up inside it will rip you apart slowly but surely." Alex said and wipe a single tear from her cheek.
Sam rested her head on his lap and cried softly. "I can't lose you Alex. I can't."
"Maybe it was too soon bringing you here. I know all this can be overwhelming but its just material things Sam. Houses, expensive cars can burn away and fade into nothing. You can be a billionaire today and tomorrow you praying just for food on your table. We grew up with love and affection in this house and it will never change Sam. I do wish that every person can have that in their live love and affection maybe than this world will be a better place to live in . I know it might look weird to you but this is who we are who I am. I want you to understand where I'm coming from and what shaped me to be the man I am today Sam."
Sam looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I promise I will change. I want us to work out."
Alex put his arms around her. There was some part of him that still felt something strong for her and than there was the part that doubt Sam's love for him. "I don't have classes for the week I was thinking of staying here for the week. You are welcome to stay with me Sam the choice is yours."
"I would love to stay with you Alex." Sam said and kissed him.
Dylan's best friend Walter's Home
"I still can't believe your mom burned all your porno mags, told you not to hide it under your bed that's the first place they always look." Walter said to Dylan. Walter was busy on his computer updating his comic blog while Dylan lay on Walter's bed hands under his head staring up at the ceiling.
Dylan smirked and said. "And I told you to keep it with you."
"You nuts! You know my mom is like a bloodhound. You know what she told me the other day she can smell sin a mile way. The way she said and looked at me made me believe that I'm hiding something very illegal in my room. I'm still searching my room for that mysterious hidden thing." Walter said and sigh.
Dylan laughed softly.
They heard Walter's mom come up the stairs to his room. She carried a tray with two glasses of milk and a plate of cookies on it. "You boys must be starving. Milk and cookies your favourite." She said with a big smile.
"Thank you Ms Sanders." Dylan said. He got up from Walter's bed and took the tray from her.
"Looks delicious did you bake them yourself." Dylan said.
"That I did. I think I have found my new calling in life and that's baking. I never knew baking cookies is so easy." Ms Sanders said.
Walter just rolled his eyes.
"They look delicious I can't wait to take a bite." Dylan said and took one cookie from the plate. He took a big bite from it and almost spit it out. Too much salt and hard as a rock. Dylan prayed that he didn't chip a teeth. "Mmmmm yummy." He said and hoped his face didn't show otherwise.
"I'm going to leave you two boys now to do boys stuff and Walty you know how I don't like you sitting for hours behind that screen its not good for your eyes sweetie. Sandy from the chemist called your prescription is in. My poor Walty and his sinus. Oh by the way Dylan I saw your mom and dad with the twins in town shopping. The twins are so adorable and a handful." Ms Sanders said and giggled.
Dylan could not even reply or smile. He was still battling with the cookie in his mouth.
"Leave the door open boys accidents happens so quick. Ta-ta." Ms Sanders said.
"Remind me again what my age is?" Walter said to Dylan after his mom left.
Dylan walked to the open window and spit the cookie out. "Jeez what was that?"
Walter chuckled and said. "She gets the recipes of the internet from a webpage I do not know. I wanted to warn you but hey that would have taken out the fun in seeing you chewing on a rock trying to keep your cool."
"Yeah, yeah." Dylan said and checked his phone for any messages from Liz.
Walter saw that and started to sing. "Lonely, I'm so lonely I have nobody of my own. I'm so lonely. I'm mister lonely."
Dylan could not help but to laugh with Walter.
Walter swings back in his chair to face Dylan and said. "Go to her and tell her how sorry you are get on your knees if you have to because if you don't fix this with Liz than my changes with her friend Suzy are zero. I almost had my first kiss with Suzy and than you go and screw things up with Liz."
"You're right I should go to her and try to fix things.
"You do that Buddy for me and you. We both don't want to go back drooling and kissing hot babes on our computer and phone screens." Walter said with a serious face.
"Wish me luck." Dylan said before exiting like always through Walter's bedroom window.
Walter jumped out of his chair and rushed over to the open window. "Good luck Buddy! And don't forget beg if you have to!" He said out loud.
...
Damon carried Bonnie's handbag and pushed the shopping trolley with the twins in it while she took her time shopping. He sigh inwardly. This was their last stop and than home. He was glad about that. You need nerves of steel, patience and energy shopping with the twins.
Bonnie held up two bottles of salad dressing and said with a cheeky smile. "Greek or Italian handsome."
He smiled and said. "Both will taste good on you."
She laughed softly and handed the two bottles to him to put in the trolley.
"I should have made a list. I don't want to buy stuff we already have at home. Honey do you think we can stop at Spice world. I like their spices and herbs which reminds me I forgot to brew a flu vaccine for you and the kids." Bonnie said.
"I'm not looking forward to that. The smell is unbearable." He said.
"It keeps you healthy and germ free." Bonnie said and poked the tip of his nose.
He took her finger and said. "Witch." And than bite it softly.
"Vampire." Bonnie whispered. She put her finger in her mouth and suck on it seductively.
"I am so going to spank your ass when we get home naughty girl." Damon said and lick his bottom lip.
Bonnie laughed and said. "Behave Mayor Salvatore I'm a good girl."
Justine and Cora from the women's elite club came over to Bonnie and Damon for a talk and to gush over the twins who paid them no attention. The two cuties were too busy enjoying stuffing their mouths and faces with candy.
A girl walked pass them that catch Damon's eye something about the girl looked familiar. He looked back in the direction the girl went just in time to see her quickly putting two candy bars in her jacket pocket.
Damon frowned. "Can you ladies excuse me I'll be right back." He said to Bonnie and the two women.
Bailey didn't shriek or freaked out when a man's voice suddenly spoke behind her. "Can I help you?" She turned around and asked calmly.
"I asked you if you're a magician." Damon said.
"I do not talk to strangers so do you mind leaving me alone." Bailey said and turned her back Damon.
"I saw how two candy bars magically disappeared in your left jacket pocket. Look kid this is not how we do things around here. Unbelievable. Do you really want to go to jail for stealing two candy bars when there are seventeen cash registers in front loaded with cash for you to pick from." Damon said with a smirk.
Bailey kept her composure in front of Damon. "Look weirdo I dont know and I don't want to know what you smoking or that you forget to take your pills this morning. Stop harassing me mister and go mind your own damn business." Bailey snap.
...and there's that familiarity that evaded Damon's memory. Elena. This must be her daughter.
Bailey saw the man looking at her strangely. "Weirdo." She said before she quickly walked away.
