Broken Trust chapter 7
" You're brother?" Jason asked. There was no way that could be true. Sam was his friend and Alcazar was an enemy.
" Yeah, my brother. You know how I lived with my father but before that we were family. I was seven when it all fell apart. I didn't really remember my brothers till my dad died and I wanted to find my family." Sam explained. She had lived with her father once her parents got divorced.
Sam and Lorenzo shared a mother but different fathers. That's why Lorenzo was still close to their mother till the day she died. Sam's father wouldn't let her see any of them when she was growing up. Now she regretted not finding her brothers sooner because she barely knew Louis before his death.
Jason looked at her, not knowing what to say. "Why didn't you tell me sooner" he asked.
" I just found out a couple of months ago. I didn't tell you because it wasn't important at the time and we haven't really seen each other." Sam explained. She couldn't help but think of how everything was so different now. She missed her best friend, she wanted to sit and tell him everything but she couldn't.
"This wasn't suppose to happen." Jason softly said as he looked down at the wooden table.
"What wasn't?" Sam asked. She didn't think to tell Jason about Lorenzo, she simply forgot but now she saw, it hurt him not to know. There was a time in both their life's that they knew everything and anything about each other. Now they were almost like strangers.
Jason looked up and met her eyes. "This, what we are to each other now. I always thought no matter what, we'd always have each other. You were there for me in ways no one ever has been Sam. And now I feel like I don't know you." he explained.
His words actually hurt worse then a knife. She looked at him and felt like crying. She never felt like crying but lately she cried over him. In the past when it got rough and she had to cry, Jason was there to pick up her pieces, now who? She was losing her best friend.
"What the hell does that mean?" Sam asked. "I'm the same person I've always been."
"With secret after secret. Sam---lets just for get it." Jason said as he stood from his seat and headed to the door.
"Forget what?!" Sam called out to him.
Jason turned around. "Everything." he said, then left.
Sam felt her eyes start to water. She stood and left Kelly's, going the opposite way Jason had. She went back to her apartment. Sam sat on the sofa as her tears ran free. So much had changed and there was nothing she could do. Jason moved on, she fell in love, he got married, she got her heart broken.
"Damn you Morgan." She said with her jaw tight as she wiped her tears. She was in love with the bastard and he broke her heart over and over. Yeah sure he didn't know but still he was her friend. It shouldn't have been that easy to say forget everything.

Jason walked back into his penthouse and slammed the door behind him. He was furious and on the edge. He hoped Courtney wasn't home because he needed to be alone. The urge to break everything became strong. He was normally good at controlling his anger but with Sam, he never could.
She could piss him off greatly one second and be everything he wanted the next With a sigh, Jason sat down on the sofa, leaning all the way back with his eyes closed. He couldn't fight the thoughts that came next.
"What are you doing?" Jason asked.
Sam turned round and faced Jason. "What does it look like I'm doing? Where did you come from?" she asked as she bent back down, working on the lock she had been before Jason came.
"The stairs. One of these days you're going to get caught." Jason said as he watched her get the door open, taking only seconds.
"You're trying to jinx me. You say that every time and do I get caught? No. How did you know where I'd be?" Sam asked as she walked into the apartment of the newest millionaire to hit town. Security hadn't been hooked up yet, big mistake.
"Wild guess. It's your MO to rob the newest guy in town. I saw the paper too." Jason explained as he shut the door behind him. He leaned against the door and just watched her do what she did best.
"Yeah how stupid right? Why put in the paper you're loaded and on top of it you don't have anything but a cheap ass lock on the door." Sam explained as she opened her bag. Needing her tools to crack the safe she just found.
"And a state of the line safe." Jason pointed out with crossed arms.
Sam met his eyes with a slight grin. "Time me." she said before she turned and began working on the safe.
Jason smiled as he watched her. They've known each other for a couple of years now and she still amazed him. Till they met every woman Jason knew couldn't or wouldn't handle his life, or even think about being involved in something like it. Sam stole for a living and she honestly didn't care about what anyone thought.
"Oh money." Sam said with a huge smile. "It's better then jewelry." she pointed out as she grabbed the stacks of cash and placed it in her bag.
Jason left his spot against the door and walked up to Sam. "You scored big." he said over her shoulder.
"Yeah." Sam said as she slight turned and met his eyes. She saw something different, she felt something different. Sam didn't think about it, she rarely thought about any of her actions. She kissed him and pulled back, meeting his eyes again. Seeing he didn't really mind, she kissed him again. This time longer and harder.
Jason was pulled away from his memory when he heard the knock on his door. Realizing he locked it, if it was Courtney she could use her key. So who was it? Jason stood and went to find out.
"You bastard!" Sam yelled once Jason opened the door. She pushed past him and walked inside." Did you really think it would be that easy to get rid of me? You say forget it and I will?" she yelled, not caring who heard.
Jason calmly closed the door and looked at her. He didn't want to fight with her, not right now.
"Say something." Sam said in a softer tone, realizing they were standing very close.
"Sam, what do you want me to say?" Jason asked.
"Anything." Sam looked into his eyes and in that moment she made up her mind of what she had to do next. "Don't say anything." she said before she kissed him.
