Chapter Six
After everyone heard that Cassie was actually alive, they decided to have a party at the Blue Note. Lucas and Sami went together in Sami's car. Before they left, Sami looked over at Lucas' motorcycle wistfully. Lucas noticed and grinned at her.
"It's great, isn't it?" he asked, "I'll have to take you for a ride on it sometime." Sami was glad it was too dark for him to see the colour of her face. She didn't know why she ended up turning everything he said into something sexual. It wasn't healthy to want someone as badly as she wanted Lucas, it was affected her body and her mind in ways that were almost driving her crazy.
He drove over to the Blue Note and Cassie, Richard and most of the people from the motorcycle gang were there. Nicole came over to Sami to say hi.
After she had finished greeting her friend, she turned to Lucas, "It's good to have you back. I'm sure Sami's glad." Nicole smiled knowingly at Sami who flushed and turned away. When Sami's attention was diverted to Belle and Shawn, who had came over to her to say hello, Nicole leaned over and whispered in Lucas' ear.
"She loves you." when Sami turned back to the two of them with a curious look on her face, Nicole looked back at her innocently. Lucas' eyes moved from Nicole to Sami, wondering how the two of them could have become so close in such a short time. He also wondered if what Nicole had just told him was true or not.
"What did she just say to you, Lucas?" Sami asked suspiciously, still watching Nicole carefully.
Nicole watched with amusement as Lucas replied, "Nothing." Sami glared at Nicole and mouthed 'later' to her friend. They did have to talk about their plans to get Brady to want Nicole so Nicole knew Sami wasn't about to let it go.
After talking shortly with Kate, Marlena and Phillip, Sami and Lucas began looking for a table to sit at. Then Sami felt someone crash into her from behind, elbowing her in the back in the process. She whirled around and glared at the blond man who had crashed into her.
"Watch where you're going!" she snapped.
He looked up and gave her a dirty look, "Fuck you." he responded.
Lucas watched as Sami's eyebrow raised, "Fuck yourself, it's cheaper." Richard suddenly noticed Lucas standing next to the blonde woman and realized it had to be Sami. He gave her an icy smile in reply to her words.
"You're a feisty one, aren't you?" he took a step towards her, "Maybe I'd like to find out just how feisty." Sami looked at him with disgust and took a step away from him. Cassie came up beside Richard and wrapped her arm around his waist, frowning at Sami.
"I don't know why you're looking at me like that." Sami said to Cassie. Lucas had already told her about Cassie faking her death so Sami wasn't surprised to see her there, "He started it, it certainly wasn't my fault."
"It's always your fault." Cassie retorted, her grip tightening around Richard's waist possessively. Richard didn't seem to mind though. Lucas shook his head, disappointed.
"Remember how I told you about Richard and how he was such a great guy?" Lucas asked Sami, who nodded, "Well, here he is. It's too bad, I had really expected you to get along. You have a lot in common."
"How can you even suggest I have a single thing in common with that creep?" Sami spat out.
"You both enjoy making Kate miserable." Cassie remarked, "I don't even know why Richard doesn't like my mom but he really enjoyed making her mad. We were having a very nice conversation, then he had to go and say, 'And by the way, I'm sleeping with your daughter.' and mess everything up. That's why I pushed him and then he bumped into you."
Sami broke into a smile at the image of the look on Kate's face when Richard said that, "On second thought, I think we could along." she told Richard, who nodded agreeably. She spotted Nicole sitting over by the bar by herself and Sami excused herself to go talk to Nicole. She sat down on the seat next to Nicole's.
"How did Brady take it when you told him you wouldn't go with him as his date tonight unless he broke up with Chloe?" Sami asked curiously. Nicole had called her earlier that night and told her how Brady had asked her to be his date and Sami had instructed her not to accept. If Nicole kept playing hard to get with him, there was no way he was going to be able to keep avoiding his feelings for her.
"I told him I wouldn't let him string me along when the only one he really wanted was Chloe." Nicole told Sami, taking a sip of the drink in her hand, "He said he only wanted to go as friends. Then I told him I was going with someone else."
"Well, that was smart, wasn't it?" Sami said sarcastically, "Doesn't he want to know where your date is?"
Nicole looked miserable, "I told him my date couldn't make it because of a family emergency. But I think he could tell there was never anyone else."
"You still need to find someone to make him jealous with." Sami stated, looking around the room, "And we've just got a whole new shipment of hot guys in, so I'd say you shouldn't have a problem. I'll just ask Lucas which one you should go after."
Sami called Lucas over and asked him which of the guys in the motorcycle gang Nicole should get together with. Lucas looked around the room at the different people in the motorcycle gang. He could immediately eliminate Dave and Freddy. Richard had told Lucas that Dave had been dating Cassie for a few weeks, then decided that, not only was he bisexual, but he preferred guys. Cassie had then moved on to dating Freddy, who had ended up falling in love with Dave. Richard and Lucas had teased Cassie about this all the time. Richard had recently stopped bothering her about it because of one of the conversations they had a few weeks ago.
"Everything you touch Cassie. You know how that guy had the chocolate touch? Well, you must have the queer touch or something." Richard had said, laughing.
"Really?" Cassie had shot back, "I didn't know you were having any problems. Or is there something you're not telling us?"
Richard had shut up after that and Lucas had to admit, it was a good comeback. So Dave and Freddy were not possibilities. Trent was a hot-head and Dan was Carla's cousin, who was almost as annoying as Carla was. Speaking of Carla, he could also eliminate the four boy toys Carla was stringing along at the moment, Adam, Erik, Bruce and Zack. And Nina was switching back and forth between Ryan and Jesse. Tyler was dating Kaleb's sister, Kari, so he wasn't going to work either. Richard was definitely out of the question, Cassie would kick Nicole's ass. That left Josh, Kaleb, Jason and Shaun. Kaleb was too serious. Shaun was a druggie. But then again, it would be funny to see Nicole with a druggie. She certainly deserved it.
A smile crossed over his face. Josh and Jason were a lot alike, both of them could get annoying sometimes, with those big grins on their faces that never seemed to go away. They probably slept with those irritating grins on their faces. But, like Shaun, Jason was a druggie. Lucas could see it now, Victor hitting the roof when he found out his wife was sneaking around with someone like Jason.
"I know the perfect guy for you." Lucas told Nicole, "His name's Jason. I'll go get him so that you two can get to know each other." he went over to Jason and Sami remembered that Nicole had whispered something to Lucas earlier.
"What did you say to Lucas?" she asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Nicole inquired and Sami's eyes widened. She nodded and Nicole finally told her, "All I did was tell him the truth. All I said was, 'She loves you'."
"God, you're stupid." Sami growled, looking over at Lucas nervously, "How could you do that?"
"It wasn't like he didn't already know." Nicole shot back, "Besides, he loves you too. Why don't you just admit it, Sami?"
"Because......." Sami couldn't finish the sentence. She didn't know why it was so hard to tell Lucas the truth but there was something that kept holding her back, making her change her mind about admitting it every time she tried to work up the courage to tell him. She couldn't finish the sentence anyways, because Lucas returned with Jason.
"Nicole, meet Jason." Jason gave Nicole a big smile and she smiled back.
A little while later, Lucas and Sami went out onto the dance floor together. Sami looked past Lucas' shoulder to see Nicole and Jason dancing together nearby. She looked past them to see Brady watching, a scowl on his face. There was no question in Sami's mind, Brady was definitely jealous. About halfway into the dance, a black woman sauntered over to Lucas and Sami.
"Lucas." she said, almost purring, "I haven't gotten to spend anytime with you all night. You think you can pull yourself away from Barbie Doll to dance the next couple of dances with me?" Sami stiffened, knowing that she already hated whoever this was. Lucas seemed to sense Sami's discomfort and his arms tightened around her waist.
"Actually, I'd rather not, Carla." he responded and Sami was unable to resist throwing a triumphant smirk in Carla's direction as Carla began stalking back over to a group of black guys. Lucas caught the look on Sami's face.
"I hope she leaves us alone now." Lucas whispered, "Because there's only one person I want to dance with tonight." Sami felt a warm glow spreading over her entire body. There was something about his touch and the way he could say things to her, it made her feel like he needed her as much as she needed him. It was nice just being able to be out here on the dance floor, holding each other without having to worry about anything else. And now his fingers were moving along the material her skirt, tracing the outline of her panties. That was even nicer. The old Sami probably would have pulled away and yelled at him. But his being gone for long then having him return had changed things for her. It was like her urge to resist him was slowly dissolving into nothing. It was only a matter of time before it was completely gone.
