Broken Trust chapter 6

It had been a week since that night between Sam and Jason on the pier. It wasn't that they were avoiding each other, both were too busy. She rarely left her a apartment, no need to, yet. First she had to plan, then act. Now she sat at a small round table at Kelly's, nursing a cup of coffee.

Lorenzo was ten minutes late. With each passing second, Sam grew more upset with her older brother. They hadn't see each other since that night either but have talked on the phone almost every night. That was one good thing from coming back to PC. It gave her a chance to bond with he family, her only family.

" You look happy." Sam pointed out once Lorenzo sat before her.

Lorenzo, keeping his smile. "I am. I need you to do my a favor." frowning at the last part. He hated to bug Sam when she's only been in town for such a short time but he needed her help.

Sam exhaled and drank some of her coffee down before she asked, calmly. " What do you need?"

" You know Sage lives with me. I want you to take her for the night. Have a sleepover, something girls do." Lorenzo explained as he ordered his own cup of coffee from the young waitress.

Sam was a little surprised. "That's it? Ok, I don't mind. I haven't really seen her since I've been back. Have you talked to her about it?" she asked.

" Yes, she wasn't too happy I was making her leave for the night but she's missed you and it's a good chance for her to see you." Lorenzo explained.

" About that," Sam started with a wide grin. "Why do you need the whole apartment to your self?" she asked, crossed her hands and leaning forward.

" That's my business Sam." Lorenzo said. He couldn't help but smile as well. There were many times he didn't think he would ever feel happy again after Carly but it happened. All of his family were the same town, business was good, other aspects of his life were going very good as well.

" Oh come on. What's her name?" Sam asked. "I know it has to be a woman that's making you smile like this."

Lorenzo sighed as decided to tell her. Who else could he talk to about this? "Her name is Lois. At first she didn't want to pursue a relationship but she changed her mind. We've been dating for a couple of weeks." he explained.

" And you want tonight to be the night?" Sam asked with a laugh. She was actually enjoying this.

" All right Sam. I'll see you later and Sage will be at your place before night fall." Lorenzo explained as he stood from his seat and placed down enough money for the coffee's. "Bye, Sam." he said over his shoulder before he left.

" Aww, that's not fair!" Sam called out to him. Now she was alone again, her smile slowly faded. She looked down at her growing cold coffee, she was losing the taste for coffee. When she decided to leave, a familiar blond sat in front of her. "Hi, Courtney. How can I help you?" she asked.

Courtney's face was serious with a hint of shock. "I thought you were Jason's friend." she hissed.

Sam was a little taken back. "I am Jason's friend. So?" she asked, wishing this conversation was over.

" I saw you talking to Lorenzo Alcazar. He's Jason and Sonny's enemy. How could you get involved with him?" Courtney asked in a lower but angry tone.

" Involved?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Are you working with him? Dating him?" Courtney asked.

Sam laughed. "That's funny. Not that its your business but the answer is neither. Lorenzo is my brother." she evenly explained. Watching Courtney's eyes grow wider and wider.

" Your brother? Does Jason know?" Courtney asked.

" No. I haven't really seen him since he got married and all." Sam explained, showing a hint of anger.

Courtney looked down then back up into Sam's eyes. "Does it bother you that Jason is married?" she asked.

" Why don't you ask the question that's really on your mind?" Sam wasn't one for games. She rather Courtney just be straight forward. Maybe Sam would've liked her.

" What question?" Courtney asked with a shrug of her shoulders.

Sam grinned, this was becoming fun too. "You want to you know if Jason and I have slept together. The questions been in your eyes since you found out about me." she explained as she leaned back in her chair.

Courtney swallowed hard. "Have you?"

" Why would it matter? He's married to you now. Whatever we may have been is in the past." Sam explained.

" No it's not because you're here!" Courtney snapped. She placed her hair behind her ear and took a deep breath. " I need to know what happened between you and Jason." she softly explained.

Sam started to feel bad for the woman before her. The angst and jealousy faded for the moment. "You can't say I didn't try to get you off of this. But fine, I'll tell you. Once upon a time, many years ago, Jason and I were involved. But not like you guys. We were more friends then anything else." she explained as her mind took her back to the past. The moments of the past were all she had now because Jason was no longer hers.

Courtney looked down at the table. "Is there still something between you guys?"

" Courtney are you worried about your marriage?" Sam asked. She knew their marriage wasn't going well, Sam saw it in Jason's eyes. "You don't have anything to worry about. Jason is loyal, he would never hurt you that way."

" I know." Courtney said but for some reason she couldn't get over the feeling that she was losing Jason to Sam. To everything. "Thank you for telling me." she said before she rushed out of Kelly's.

" You shouldn't have told her." Sam softly said to her self as she ran her hand through her hair. "Damn everyone comes to this place huh?" she asked once she saw Jason. "You just missed your wife."

Jason went and sat before Sam. "Did you guys talk?" he asked.

" Yeah. She was a little pissed. She saw me with Lorenzo Alcazar." Sam explained. She chose now to be the time to tell Jason bout her brother. Maybe Jason would end up hating her too. Then she could get over him, hopefully.

" What were you doing with Alcazar?" Jason asked. Was Sam working for him, was that why she was in town? Or.. no, Jason wouldn't let him self think of Sam with another man.

" We were talking. He needed a favor. Lorenzo's my brother Jason." Sam explained as she met his eyes for the first time since he joined her.

That was the last thing Jason expected her to say.
