Bella 13
Sam lay here in bed wrapped in Casey's arms as he caressed her with his fingers she had tears in her eyes.. All these years later.. and STILL she was couldn't forget him.
"Sam, are you awake?"
"Yes" She said blinking back the tears that ran from her eyes while softly falling on the pillow below her.
"Would you marry me?"
Meanwhile...
Jason was busy getting lunch prepared when the phone rang. Wondering who it could be he ran to get it before Courtney had a chance to.
"Hello"
"Hey there, remember me?" She said
"Brenda." He said knowing full well that this conversation was going to end up back to Sam. It had been years since he had heard from her and how ironic it was that now since they would be taking this trip that all of a sudden things would begin to happen. That wasn't by coincidence and he knew it full well.
"How are you and what have you been up to?"
"What's up with Sam Brenda."
"You were never one for smalltalk were you Jason?"
"Cut the bull and just tell me." He demanded with worry and fear in his voice.
"You aren't going to like it Jason."
"What?"
"She's getting married." She said as tears began to sting his eyes.
"When?"
"In two weeks and Jason she is torn up over it."
"Well then why is she doing it?"
"Isn't that obvious? Because she still loves you after all this time, but realizes you weren't meant to be together. She has to move on."
"She still thinks of me doesn't she?"
"Yep, she is still hung up on you badly.
"Well, we will be vacationing in Florence starting next week."
"Jason can I ask you something?"
"Yes, I still am in love her Brenda, and yeah, I would just about do anything for her still, but I have a little girl now that is thrown into the equation of it all .. I just can't drop everything and leave you know I am not that type of person."
"Well, then it would do you well to not contact her when you are here."
"This trip is not my doing. Abigail learned about Florence in school a few days ago and she came home bursting with excitement. Out of all the cities in Italy, that is the one they chose to learn about. Then Courtney got wind of it and wanted to go, so we will be leaving this next week."
"Well, I want to see you while you are here Jason, with or without Courtney. I will be here as far as I know at least until after the wedding. I am going to be Sam's maid of honor."
"Is Lorenzo going to be there?"
"You know, I have no idea… I don't know if having Lo here would be good idea. He knows she is still in love with you. I just wish that you hadn't made that commitment to marry Courtney, Jason. I know you love your daughter and that's a good thing, but Jason, I know you, I know that you are still in love with Sam that's why would prefer to go anywhere but come here."
"You're right."
"I need to go"
"Yeah, so do I. I will let you know when we get there."
Jason hung up and felt extreme pain in his heart like he had never felt before. Because for one thing he knew that if she got married it would be for life, Samantha would take those vows to heart and he would lose her allover again without a way of ever being able to get her back.
