Someone Like You
Chapter 12
"So how do you like your lasagna?" Jason asked.
"Its delicious, the best I have ever had." She answered glancing at him with a smile.
"So are you and Justin going to be spending the night?" Michael asked.
"Yeah we are you don't mind do you?" Sam said looking at him.
"Nope." He smiled at her then looked up at Jason and winked.
"Mommy can I have some ice cream now?"
"In a little bit baby okay?" she said rubbing her nose on his as Jason watched her with a smile on his face, Michael saw his dad watching her, and kicked him under the table.
"Ow." Jason yelped and looked at his son with a dirty look.
"What's going on?" Sam looked over at him.
"Nothing, just hurt my leg." He said looking at her then Michael.
"Well, I was wondering if you the both would like to accompany me on Friday night to a local baseball game, I have some business to attend to in Danville and I know the owner of the Danville Devils and well.. I just thought that maybe you would like to go." She said looking at him.
"We'll go won't we dad?"
"Yes we will."
"Good then it's a date then." She said smiling at him. "Now does anyone want some ice cream for desert?" She said as she got up and picked up the plates as he watched her.
"I do." Justin said
"Me too." Added Michael as they followed her into the kitchen. She had gone out earlier in the day and picked up a few things from the store, the kids came back in with their bowls of ice cream.
"Okay, here we go." She said looking at him, "Just the way you like it" as she set the fresh peach pie in front of him with a huge dollop of pure whipped cream on it. "I thought I would surprise you." She said sitting down with hers across from him at the table. "Hey dad can we sit and eat ours in front of the TV?" "Yeah." He said without hesitation, anything to just have her alone near him "When did you get this?"
"Earlier today, I thought you might like something sweet after dinner tonight, since the last one was a big hit, you know you can never get enough of a good thing." She smiled at him.
"So what's in Danville?"
"The house that I used to live in, it sold and well… I need to sign some final paper work on it."
"How do you feel about that?"
"I don't really know." She looked away
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." He looked
"Stop it Jason, I won't have you walking on eggshells around me never knowing what to say, or if you should say anything at all." She said to him as a smile flickered across her face.
"What?"
" You have whipped cream on the side of your face." She gestured to him as to the whereabouts of it. "You are playing games with me Jason, you know exactly where it is."
"Here?" He said rubbing the side of his cheek, until finally she became frustrated with him and got up from her chair as she looked at him she couldn't tear her eyes from his as she reached up and wiped it from the side of his face he gently reached down and grabbed her hand and kissed it. "You're good to me Sam." He spoke as he watched her, she was so beautiful and perfect.
"Well, I think that goes both ways Jason." She whispered to him.
"Dad, can we go out for a walk?" Michael asked watching his dad and Sam with a smile on his face as Sam smiled at him then looked back at him and reaching out she stroked the side of his face then leaning down near him he inhaled her scent and it sent his senses reeling as her hair grazed his face softly her lips brushed over his cheek then kissed him.
"Dad!" Shouted Michael as the moment between them was broken, she picked up the plates and walked away, he got up and went over to Michael and drug him up the stairs.
"What is it you want?" He asked him impatiently.
"I just wanted to know if we could all go for a walk."
"Yeah sure, If Sam wants too."
"Sam wants to." She said standing by the door of his room. "I'll get Justin's jacket on and mine to, and we'll meet you downstairs."
"It's gorgeous out here tonight."
"Yes it is." He said turning to her as she looked up at him with those beautiful brown eyes.
"I'm so thankful for you Jason, for being in our lives, you have turned out be such a good friend and you have no idea how grateful I am." She said reaching down low and putting her hand in his. "I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world."
