Chapter 10: A good nights sleep and misunderstandings
When the limo pulled up in front of Sams building. Danny gently shook her awake. "Come on Sam were back lets get you to bed ok?"
Sam mumbled something that was probably ok. Danny helped her out of the limo and led her to the front door. She was unsteady on her feet and leaned on Danny so she wouldn't fall over. He kept an arm around he waist to steady her, and because he enjoyed it.
There was a different man at the door this evening, he gave them an odd look as they passed him and went to the elevators. When they got back to Sams floor Danny helped her into her room. He wasn't sure if she should sleep in her dress but he also wasn't sure if she could manage to change it herself, she seemed to be drunker then when they had left the restaurant. "I'm going to go get some water for you and maybe an aspirin for when you wake up tomorrow, why don't you change into something to sleep in ok?"
Sam nodded. Danny went to the kitchen and filled a glass with water for her then went to his bathroom and grabbed an aspirin for Sam, she'd need it in the morning. When Danny got back to Sams room he walked in and saw Sam sitting on her bed in nothing but black lace panties and bra, they hugged her body and Danny had trouble looking away. She looked up at him, "Could you help me? These pants won't go on."
Danny shook his head, he helped Sam get her black pajama pants on, she had her right leg and left leg confused so he had to help her with them and then her shirt, which thankfully was just a sleeveless tank top that slipped right on.
Once Sam had her clothes on Dannys mind cleared a little, he picked up the glass of water, "Here drink this, it'll help you.:
Sam took the glass in both hands and drank it all down in a few big gulps. She then lay down and Danny picked up the covers to put over her. "Wait Danny, would you mind staying with me? Just till I fall asleep?"
"Ok" Danny covered Sam and then lay down on top of them next to her.
"Thank you Danny." Sam said, she was facing away from him so Danny couldn't see her face.
"For what?"
"For being so nice to me, most people would have just left me here but you stayed. And took care of me, And for being a good friend."
"Your welcome Sam, thanks for saving me."
"Your welcome, your not getting away from me that easily." Sam said then her shoulder relaxed and she was asleep. Danny decided to stay, just for a few more minutes. He leaned over and kissed the side of Sam forehead, he didn't know why but it felt right. Then he was asleep
Sams mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton. She opened her eyes, then wished she hadn't. He blinds were pulled close but even the faint light felt like a blow to the head. She cracked her eye open again. There was a glass on her nightstand and an aspirin, She swallowed the aspirin and drank what little water was in the glass, it was enough to get the cotton feeling out of her mouth. Then she fell back to sleep.
.When Sam woke up again she felt like crap, defiantly an improvement over earlier. She blinked a few times to get her eyes fully open, her shirt was bunched up exposing her stomach and the left side of her pants were pulled down some. She woke up like that a lot because she was a restless sleeper, but what made her eyes snap open was a sleeping Danny next to her.
What's Danny doing here? Whys he in my bed, wait did we? Ok calm down. We went to the restaurant, I had some wine, felt out in the limo and leaned me head on the window. Then what? I lay on Dannys shoulder next, then. Then he brought me back up here I think. I don't remember doing anything, and Danny wouldn't do anything? No besides he's still in his tux that dork.
Sam sat up and the rest of the night came back to her, Danny getting her the water, her asking him to stay, him helping her change. Sams face went red, ok so he had seen her in her underwear but that was it. Maybe he won't remember that part
Sam got up and took a long warm shower. It helped her head a lot and just felt good as well. She toweled off an put on lose pants and a baggy shirt, then went to make coffee. Sam didn't really like coffee but it was supposed to help with hang over.
By the time Danny got up Sam was on her second cup of coffee, which wasn't helping any. Danny had changed into a white t-shirt and blue jeans, "Hi Sam, how do you feel?"
"You mean after getting drunk last night? Surprisingly not as bad as I did when I woke up. Thanks for the aspirin by the way."
"Oh your welcome, do you remember what happened last night?"
"Yea, thanks for taking care of me, and everything." Sam blushed and concentrated on her coffee. Why do I keep blushing like this! I'm not one of those prep girls who falls for every cute guy. Given most of those guys would have dumped me here and left. Ugg!
Danny didn't know where to look, Sam remembered everything. He couldn't remember ever being so embarrassed. Neither of them could think of anything to say, though it wasn't as bad as past silences have been.
They were both startled when Sams phone rang, "Hello?"
"Hello Sammy."
Sam glanced at Danny, "Oh Hi dad."
"Listen Samantha, I'm sorry but I have to go to Madison. There was a robbery there that looks like the work of Phantom. No clues, no break in or trace of anything. I don't know how long I'll be there, hopefully only three days at most but no promises."
"Ok, be careful."
"I will" Sams father hung up and Sam set the phone back down.
"Danny? have you been doing anymore stealing?"
"What! No! when could I have? I promise you I haven't"
"Ok just checking." Sam looked out the window, she had a weird feeling. Then the phone rang again. She picked it up, "Hello?"
"Oh and Sam I forgot to tell you, your mother is on her way home, she should be there soon."
Sams face went pale, her mother was coming back, now. Sam heard the elevator door then her mothers sunshine voice. "Sammy I'm back!"
"Danny invisible now!"
"What but"
"Now!" Danny didn't argue and disappeared from sight just as a woman with red hair put up in a fifties style hairdo, She wore a light blue flowery dress and held pink shopping bags in both her hands
"Sammy!" She threw her arms around Sam. "I came as soon as I heard the good news! Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?" Sam was struggling to breath, her mother let her go and looked Sam square in the eye. "About your boyfriend!"
"What!?" Sam heard another noise that she thought was Danny suppressing a similar reaction. "Uh mom what are you talking about?"
"Why your little date last night. My friend at In Magazine sent me the story before it went to press. Why didn't you tell me you and Mr. Foley were a couple?"
"Whoa! Wait what? Me and Tucker? No!"
"Oh come on little Sammy, don't play coy with your mother."
"No you have it wrong mom, I was with there with Tucker and my friend Danny, not a date or anything, just a dinner."
"Hmm, well I don't remember there being a Danny in any of the upper class families. I'm sure I've kept up with everything even being gone for so long. Also there is only you and, 'Tucker' in all the picture In has."
"What pictures?"
"These." She handed Sam a copy of In, on the cover was a picture of Sam leaning over Tucker, it looked like she was leaning in for a kiss.
"No I was trying to keep him from choking!"
"Come now Sammy, don't be embarrassed! Now lets go make sure you have something wonderful to wear for tonight!"
"Tonight?"
"Of course dear, tonight it the Kristen Charity Dinner. I know the Foleys will be there which means Tucker will be as well." She grabbed Sams hand before she could protest and dragged her into her bedroom.
Danny who had stood out of the way while Mrs. Manson had gushed over Sam went to the table and picked up the In. There were several pictures of Tucker and Sam together from the night before but he wasn't in any of them. He scanned the article as he looked at the pictures.
Samantha(Sam) Manson was seen last night at a romantic restaurant with wealthy man Mr. Foley. The daughter of the chief of police and Miss Manson a noted socialite. She has been out of the public eye for over a year since she was arrested for her involvement in the Axion Lab protests. It would appear that the Samantha has finally given up her troubled way and may even be getting ready to settle down with young Mr. Foley. Mrs. Manson is said to be returning to Amity, possibly to help arrange thing between the Manson and Foley families.
The rest of the article was pretty much the same. What is with this? Was it written by a fourteen year old? Oh it was. Danny set the magazine back down and looked around, he wasn't sure what he should do. Though he was tempted to go spy on Sam and her mom. That was until some horrible pink creature flew down the hall and landed on the floor.
"Mom! I am not wearing that stupid dress for the last time!" Sam yelled!
Mrs. Manson walked out and picked up the dress, "Really now Sammy. I thought you wear over that whole depressed stage, you have a lovely young man now. You really must start behaving."
"I told you I'm not dating Tucker! He's a friend of Dannys and offered to take us to dinner that's all!"
"Samantha, do not raise your voice to me. Now I know there is no man by the name of Danny in any of the upper social circle."
"Who said he had to be in your Upper circle."
"Samantha, I refuse to let you socialize with a street boy! Now you will come with me tonight, you will socialize with people of our own class and you meet with Mr. Foley and be polite. Do you understand?"
She didn't give Sam a chance to respond before she had left and taken the elevator down to her floor. Sam made a growling noise then sat down on the couch. Danny turned visible and sat down next to Sam. "You weren't kidding about your mom."
"I can't believe she think I'd date Tucker! Or wear that dress! Now she's dragging me to that stupid party!"
"Come on Sam it can't be that bad, though considering that dress I might be wrong."
Sam stared at Danny, he felt uncomfortable. "Sam? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because I might not have to deal with the whole party, or at least not be stuck there with a bunch of stuffy snobs."
"What do you mean?"
"You have ghost powers, you can sneak me out, or at least come too so I won't die of boredom."
"I don't know, isn't that kind of abusing my powers?"
"Since when have you worried about that?"
"Ok so I'm just kind of scared of your mom. No offence" he quickly added.
"I can't really blame you there, but please come?"
Danny looked at Sam, she was using her puppy dog eyes on him. "Fine I'll come"
