Yeah, I'm posting more. I am so sorry for the lack of story. When you mix personal issues, a computer dying and a crap load of school work together, you get a stressed out fika who can't write. Thank you everyone for the reviews, and for telling me Alex's father is Steve, not Jesse. I started to write this story before we were given his name, so I took a wild guess. The mistakes will be fixed, I promise.

If anyone has any song suggestions that you think would work with this story, please don't be afraid to say something. I'm inspired to write mostly by songs I hear, so just let me know.

This chapter included lyrics from the song 'A Mistake' by Fiona Apple, which I do not own rights to. And someone is coming back into the picture this chapter as promised. Also, I'm using a writing technique I haven't used in a while. No rough copies, I'm letting the ideas flow. Let's hope it works.

I'm gonna make a mistake-
I'm gonna do it on purpose

The next morning, Luka awoke to a knock on the door. Exhausted, he stumbled out of bed and walked to door as the knocking continued. "I'm coming, all right? Hold on a second."

"Luka?" A familiar accented voice replied. Luka, still groggy opened the door to the site of his former flame and coworker in Africa, Gillian.

"What are you doing here?" Luka asked, rubbing his face as Gillian entered the apartment. She dropped her bag and coyly turned around and smiled at Luka as she made her way over to him and lightly kissed him on the lips.

"I think you know why I'm here."

"You come all the way from Montreal for..." Luka was cut off as Gillian continued her assualt on his lips. Invoulentarly, he opened hs mouth and let her tongue slide in.

" I left him," Gillian answered the unasked question. "And I came here to be with you."

I'm gonna waste my time
Cuz I'm full as a tick
And I'm scratching at the surface

Luka and Gillian found their way into the bedroom. Gillian pushed him onto the bed and straddled his hips, tracing kisses down his neck. She stopped to unbutton and remove her top and then continued. Luka, who had not been as responsive as he usually was when he was with Gillian finally showed some life and sat up to remove his own shirt, and then flipped Gillian onto her back.

"I missed this." Gillian said huskily.

And what I find is mine
And when the day is done, and I look back
And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around

As Luka thrust in and out of Gillian, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. Like he was betraying someone. He had come to terms with finding physical release with others than Danileja, so that wasn't it. But he still felt bothered. His eyes, for some reason wandered to the nightstand, where the piece of paper with Sam's address he had copied last night when he went looking for her.

"Sam...." Luka thought aloud.

"What?" Gillian asked breathlessly, bucking her hips up to urge Luka to continue.

Luka shook his head. "Nothing, don't worry about it."

All the advice I shunned, and I ran
Where they told me not to run, but I sure
Had fun, so
I'm gonna fuck it up again

After they were finished, Luka went for a shower, turning down Gillian when she insisted on joining him. He rested his head against the wall as the water poured down on him, trying to gather his thoughts. How had Sam gotten to him to quickly? Why, after having sex with a beautiful woman did he find himself more excited by the thought of a kiss that didn't even happen the night before? Luka swore he wouldn't do this again; not after what happened with Abby. But he was falling for Sam.

'But,' Luka thought ruefully, 'I threw it all away.'

"Fuck." Luka murmured aloud.

I'm gonna do another detour
Unpave my path
And if you wanna make sense
Whatcha looking at me for
I'm no good at math

While Luka berated himself in the shower, Gillian amused herself in the living room, looking at all the trinkets Luka had accquired since her last visit. When the phone rang, and Luka did not emerge from the bathroom to pick it up, Gillian answered.

"Bonjour." Gillian answered cheerfully.

"Oh, I must have the wrong number." The voice on the other end replied.

"Are you looking for Luka?" Gillian asked. "He's in the shower, and I just heard the water shut off. I'll get him for you. Who is calling?"

"Just tell him it's Sam."

"Okay, hold on one minute." Gillian replied.

On the other end of the line, Sam shook her head. He had left her apartment at nearly four in the morning, and he had all ready found another woman? She had gone through the playboy thing with Steve, she didn't feel like doing it again.

Meanwhile, Gillian knocked on the door of the bathroom and then opened the door as Luka wrapped a towel around his waist. "Luka, I hope you don't mind, but I answered your phone." Gillian told him.

"Is it the hospital?" Luka asked as he held the phone up to his ear, only to hear the dial tone.

"No, it was a woman. Named Sam."

Luka closed his eyes and rubbed his face, water dripping down fom his hand. "Shit." he muttered.

" I shouldn't have answered the phone, should I?" Gillian asked after seeing his response.

"It's fine." Luka said and smiled weakly.

"Good. Now, hurry up. I want to make you breakfast." Gillian replied and quickly pecked Luka on the lips.

And when I find my way back,
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
I've acquired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake

Sam huffed around her apartment the best she could, but she was nauseous from the night before. And to add to that, she was now pissed.She realized she didn't have a reason to be upset with Luka; they weren't together.

'He's my son's idol. If he sees Luka jumping from woman to woman, he'll do the same thing when he gets older.' Sam summarized in her thoughts, but she knew that wasn't completely true. She had feeling for him, feelings she didn't think she would have ever again after Steve. And just like Steve, Luka had betrayed her with another woman.

"Another stupid mistake, Sam." she scolded herself. "You shouldn't care, he obviously doesn't."

I wanna mistake why can't I make a mistake?
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why-
Do I wanna do right, of course but
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to
Answer you, hell no
