Bella 14
"Hey girl here is your itinerary for the next week." She said walking into Sam's office as she laid it on her desk she walked over to her.
"Got Jason on your mind AGAIN?" Gemma inquired watching Sam stare off into space.
"How am I not supposed to have him on my mind, he's in my heart, I can't forget about him, no matter how hard I try, where I go, and even more so now that I am going to be getting married to Casey."
"Then don't marry him."
"Right, so I am supposed to wait around for a man that is never going to be able to be with me?"
"Sam, the thing is we don't know what is going to be happening tomorrow or the next day."
"Well, I know this I have waited years for something to come from Jason's end and nothing has transpired. I have to move on."
"Is that why you are doing this, because you are angry and bitter?Because Sam you are going to wreak more damage not only in your heart but in Caseys also. If you have any true feelings for him, you would be upfront and let him know what is up. Better that he finds out the truth now then while you are married, Casey is a good man Sam and he doesn't deserve to be treated like this because your heart is elsewhere. Just tell him you aren't ready to get married yet.. He would understand, I know he would but you have to do it now, not at the alter."
"I know, I should have never told him that I would."
"Well, you probably didn't know what to say Sam, but you do now and I want you to take care of this. You know kind of how I told you to do something about your feelings and Jason all those years ago and you never did? Consider that to be a lesson learned. For all we know Jason Morgan is on a plane here as we speak."
Meanwhile Jason glanced at his watch, counting down the minutes until they would be touching down in Florence.
"Daddy when will we be there?"
"In about 4 more hours, why don't we put on a movie for you?"
"Okay."
"How about Cinderella?"
"Okay." She said waiting for Jason to insert the movie then she curled up in his lap.
"Can mommy watch it to?"
"Yeah." Jason said.
"I can't wait until we get there." She said snuggling up next to him.
"Here why don't you sit here with her?" Jason said looking up at her.
"Why? What's the matter?"
"I just want to go lie down for a bit." He said lying to her. Truth was he couldn't be near her right now, as the plane flew closer to it's destination the more nervous and excited he became, with any luck they would be landing around 3 pm.
Gemma picked up the phone and dialed Sam's extension...
"Sam we have an urgent assignment for you down in Sicily" Gemma said
"No."
"Anthony says yes and you know he's the boss."
"When do I have to leave?"
"You're plane leaves at 3:35."
"For how long?"
"Just for one day."
"Okay, so tomorrow I will be back, I need to talk to Casey then."
"Yeah, the sooner you get that done the better."
"Do you have my information for this shoot?"
"No he will come in and brief you in a few minutes she said. Sam I didn't mean to jump allover you case about Jason and Casey, I just think that you have been through enough hell to last a life time."
"I know you didn't and I appreciate your input and advice, I value that more than you'll ever know."
Sam needed to call Casey and let him know what was up and where she would be.
"Casey this is Sam I just need to let you know that I was going to be going out of town for tonight, I have an assignment down in Sicily and will be leaving in about an hour from here and will be back tomorrow sometime." She said into the phone leaving him a voice message.
She needed to calm down and relax for a few minutes, walking out she went and was headed into the break room when she heard it on the radio blaring she stopped dead in her tracks as Sade's 'Kiss of Life' was blaring in the background. Turning around she looked at it and instantly she started tearing up, it had been so long since she had had made that request for it to be played, sending it out over the airwaves, a message from her to him.
"Something's up." She said to herself in a low whisper
