Part 8: My Friend... or My Lover?

Blackjack Gabbiani | | |Hmm, it's very interesting, plot-wise, but if Delia is supposed to | |be a writing student, her narration and some other things, like her | |letter to her mother, should be written much clearer. | | |

OK, let me just say this. If you had to go to college, and you had to write all night long, WOULDN'T YOU BE TIRED OF WRITING? LOL! ^_~

But thank you so much for pointing that out! ^_~ ok. let's read on!

This is basically where we left off.

We went to store after store after store, and we all got tired. As we were going home, Christina had one of her "ideas."

"Come on, let's go clubbing now that we all are here!"

"Sure," Samuel agreed.

"I don't--"

"Oh, come on, Delia, please!" she begged me.

"Fine."

We went to the dumb club. I knew Giovanni would be there. I knew it, and I was right.

"Hello, my dear," he said, kissing my neck.

(A/N: Now I must tell the rest)

Delia started to talk to Giovanni, unaware that this is Sam's last night to see Delia again.

My friend... or my lover?

Delia's POV

Christina and I went to the ladies room to talk a little. Also, Christina didn't want to look too bad, so she put on some makeup and fixed her hair. Then she fixed mine. We changed into the dresses we brought from the store.

Samuel... well... he put on his new black shirt and new blue jeans, but he also wore his light brown coat.

Samuel went to the pay phone to tell his girlfriend that he'll see her next week. Of course she screamed at him for letting us bring him in a club. (I hardly ever say bad things about people, I swear. But she acts like a bitch towards Samuel, and the truth is he didn't deserve it.)

Before we went to the ladies room, Giovanni said he wanted to make a phone call.

Pikablu walks in the scene and tells the rest.

John walked to the pay phone next to Samuel and waited there.

Samuel gets off the pay phone and turns to face John. "Um, hi there," he said nervously.

"I... I came to say I'm... sorry" he said, looking at Sam covering his face.

"You... are?" he asked, putting his hand down.

"Yeah. I thought you were someone else, that's it. I really am sorry. Here, let me buy you a drink." John said, putting his hand on Sam's back and walking towards the bar area.

"Well, I guess that's ok with me." Sam said, giving his forgiving smile on.

As the two ordered, John was telling Sam about this guy who tried to "steal" his "girlfriend" and that he "thought" that Sam was the guy.

After they had a few little laughs from their conversation, John slipped something in Samuel's coat pocket.

After that Delia walked to Samuel, and Christina was talking to John.

(A/N: No, she's not a whore. She's just being friendly, ok? Ok!)

Christina didn't have a fancy dress. (Hello, big belly from Misty ^_~) Delia had on a baby blue dress that was long and showed her dirty pillows!

(Words from the old scary movie "Carrey"--if you don't know what are dirty pillows. It's BREAST!)

Giovanni walked up to Delia. A fast song came on.

"Want to dance, my dear?" he asked.

"Sure," Delia said, walking with him to the dance floor.

Samuel's POV

I really don't get what she sees in him.

Well, maybe I do. He's very rich. He's not getting married, and he's younger then I am. More handsome then me! How could I compete with that? I'm not famous, I'm not rich. I have nothing to give her.

God, does she look so beautiful in that new dress. I wish she was mine, I wouldn't hurt her at...

Wait a minute! I'm thinking of her... but I'm getting married! But I just can't help it, I think I'm in love with Delia. How? Why? This just isn't right. I can't think that way about my friend. Or can I? She's not into me. She has a good man to love her.

I should be very happy for her.

Pikablu takes over.

Sam put on a smile as Delia turned to look at him. Giovanni danced with Delia. John was talking to some of Giovanni's workers and laughing, then they all departed from each other and spread out in the club, all in different places. All of them started to dance with women and men who must've been waiting for them. John walked to the bar and ordered a shot, then he waited there. The drink was served, and John drank it fast, then walked to Giovanni.

"Hello, brother, may I cut in?" he asked.

"Delia?" Giovanni asked.

"Why not?" Delia smiled.

As the two started to dance, one of the members (no one knows that some of the people are Giovanni's workers) came to Giovanni.

"Sir," the guy said then nodded yes.

"Good." With that Giovanni walked up to the club's stage.

(Meanwhile, while John and Delia danced)

"Oh, sorry, Delia." John laughed. "I guess I forgot the dance step."

"I'll teach you, then!" Delia said cheerfully.

"I'm sorry, but I--" He looked at his watch. "I have to go. Nice dancing with you. Maybe later you'll teach me, huh?"

"Anything," Delia sweetly said, waving bye to John as he left the door.

Sam looked at Delia and smiled at her as she walked to him.

"So, want to dance with me?" Delia asked with a smile on her sweet face.

"Sure, love you... I MEAN, I'd love to!" Samuel said with a sweatdrop on his face.

Delia didn't hear that part. She led Samuel to the dance floor. A slow song came on.

So I find a reason to get all dressed up

Each and every night

So I count on someone

To take me out on Friday nights dancing

And then go to college on Monday

To plant, my dreams

And some day, I'll think of kids

Or maybe just save a little money

Delia's POV

Samuel pulled me in closer, where I could feel his body next to mine.

You're the one I need

The way back home is always so long

But if you're close to me

I'm holding on

You're the one I need

My real life has just begun

Cause there's nothing like

Your smile made of sun

In the world of strangers

You're the one I know

Sam's POV

I felt her heart beat, I felt like we were the only people in the world. No one matters right now. Only her and me, here, right now, dancing.

Delia laid her head on Sam's shoulder. Sam cuddled a little by moving his arms around Delia. Delia closed her eyes.

So I learned to cook

And I finally lose my kitchen phobia

So I got the arms to cuddle in

Whenever there's a ghost or a muse

That brings insomnia

Delia felt Sam's neck and opened her eyes to look at him.

To buy more thongs (heheheh)

And write more happy songs

It always takes a little help with someone

Samuel smileed at Delia and leaned in for the kiss they both have been waiting for.

Delia leaned in too, watching his beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

You're the one I need

The way back home is always so long

But if you're close to me

I'm holding on

You're the one I need

My real life has just begin

Cause there's nothing like

Your smile made of sun

They looked at each other. Sam decided that he wanted only her... right there, right now. Their lips touched.

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

With you, my life has just begun

You're the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love

"SO! HAVING FUN?" Christina said, popping out!

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Both said in surprise. Delia and Samuel glared at Christina angrily.

"What's wrong with you two?"

"NOTHING!" They both said, still glaring at her.

Giovanni walked up on the stage and announced some bad news.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some... bad news. Someone here has been stealing some jewelry and money."

"YEAH, SOMEONE TOOK MY WATCH!" one guy yelled.

"Someone has my wallet!" another guy shouted.

"My necklace is missing!" a woman said in tears.

"I'm sorry, but we have to search everyone in the club," Giovanni said.

Some policemen searched some people, until they got to Christina.

"Ok, madam, let's see your purse."

"Ok," Christina said, giving the policemen her purse. They dumped everything; there was a lot of makeup.

"Uh-huh," one said.

"MY NECKLACE!" the woman screamed.

"What? But I didn't..."

"Come with us," the officer said.

"No, please, I know for a fact that she didn't--" the officer interrupted Sam.

"So... a wise guy, huh? Search him too!"

Samuel let them search him, until--

"A wallet, and a watch! What's this... Delia?" the officer said, reading what was on the 16K gold necklace.

"Huh? That's my necklace. SAMUEL! HOW COULD YOU???" Delia screamed with anger.

:: SLAP!:: Delia stomped off.

"DELIA, WAIT, I DIDN'T--" He watched Delia leave the club. His heart hurt from all this. Softly he repeated, "Delia..."
