Someone Like You

"This is great Sam." Michael said looking over at her.
"Glad that you like it." She said as she helped Justin with his dinner, then turning around she looked back at Jason who past her the salad, she took a little and set it back down on the table and began to eat.
"I was wondering…."
"Yes"
"Well, Its Emily's birthday next Saturday and I got invited to her birthday celebration and I hate parties, but I told Emily I would be there to celebrate with her, and I was wondering if you might want to go with me?"
"I would love that Jason." She said looking at him unable to tear her gaze from his he had a hold over her that was so strong.
"Can I have some more chicken please?"
"Uh…. Yeah…sure." She said snapping back to reality and giving Michael another chicken breast, she was flustered all of a sudden unable to speak or form a thought, it was so damn hard to be friends with him when she wanted so much more than that.
"I need to ask you a favor Jason."
"Anything."
"Is it alright if I stay at your place Monday? The landlord is going to be working on the plumbing in here and I don't want to be here when that is going on."
I will try to keep Justin quiet and you know if you have other plans then I can watch Michael for you."
"What plans would I have Sam?" He said chuckling lightly at her question.
"Well I don't know I thought that maybe you had other men friends, maybe go shoot pool?"
"Do you?"
"No, I don't have any other male friends, just you…" She said gesturing with her hand.
"That's not what I meant, but I am glad that I am the only man in your life."
"So am I" She said looking at him with almost a most innocent look on her face, doing things to him, her body language spoke volumes to him as he watched her.
"Do you play pool?" He asked.
"Yes, we used to play all the time." She said before she could take it back, and just that little bit of a memory made her upset, when she saw his reaction like he disengaged from her and she could see his feelings for her in his eyes, "I'm sorry Jason, I didn't mean to say anything…." Her voice trailed off as she turned away from him so he would not see the tears there, but they weren't for him this time, they were for Jason and she wondered at what point she started to fall for him, because more than anything in this world, she wanted him… and for the first time in a long time…. and Zander was becoming a distant memory.
