Someone like you
Chapter 16
Sam was just putting her coffee cup when the phone started to ring, picking it up she answered it and smiled to herself, his voice was like warmed butterscotch dripped over vanilla ice cream, she closed her eyes and let it run down her insides and smooth her.
"I just wanted to know if you were still..."
"Yes, Jason I Am." she said to him as he nodded his head and was so thankful. "About last night Jase..."
"No need for apologies Sam, I understand why you did what you did."
"You do?"
"Yeah, you were humiliated and Sam you had every right to be. I don't blame anything that you did on you."
"Why do you have to be like this Jason?"
"Like what?"
"So wonderful, Jason you are so good to me."
"I am not going to sit here and deny that you mean the world to me Sam."
"I don't want you to Jason, ever." she said softly in his ear.
"Wow dad you look great." Michael said looking at his dad; he was dressed very formal for her. Earlier on the both of them had gone over and picked Justin and brought him back here for the evening. Grabbing both boxes he hugged said goodbye to Leticia and the boys. Samantha was going to be meeting him at the party, he had told her would pick her up and bring her, but she insisted on taking her own car and although he was disappointed he knew that this was her way of telling him to slow down.
Taking one last look in the mirror she smoothed her hands down the front of her dress, she couldn't wait to see him. Walking into her room she grabbed a few things plus her cocktail bag and a shawl that matched her dress. It had been so long since she had gotten dressed up. Walking out she turned off the light and made her way out to the front door, through it and to her car outside.
Jason pulled up in front to the Quartermaine mansion and looked around not seeing her car anywhere and said a silent prayer that he would see her soon. Reaching down in his pocket he ran his hands over the long box he had for her, as she carried their birthday gift inside for Emily. Walking through the front door he was instantly taken aback by the hundreds of guests that were there one of them being Courtney Matthews as he looked across the crowd he saw her hanging on Jax' shoulder, he shook his head and remembered back a week when Sam had put her in her place with grace and style, he smiled to himself as he remembered the look Courtney had given him before stomping off like the spoiled brat she was.
"Jason you came, Where is Sam?" Emily said to him as Courtney turned around and walked toward him.
"We came separately." He said to Emily, "Happy Birthday Sis." He handed her the gift from the both of them she took it and said thank you and was rudely interrupted by the bimbo.
"Hey Jason." She said to him as he looked around and didn't see her anywhere. "Hey I am right here." She said running her hand down the front of him.
Samantha checked her watch and noticed she was late as she drove down the road almost there.
"Great just like Cinderella for the ball." She muttered to herself as she pulled up and parked, then grabbing her purse and shawl she closed the door behind her and made her way to the front of the house, rang the doorbell and was greeted by the hostess as she made her way inside she looked around and came face to face with Lorenzo Alcazar, who took one look at her and wanted to do more than just look at her. The music was blaring in the background, and the place was hopping with guests everywhere. The hostess took her purse and shawl and told her where she would be able to find them afterwards.
"It's so nice to see you again." Lorenzo said to her as he handed her a glass of champagne she took it. She was nervous and felt out of place in such a huge crowd of people she drank it down and took another one, then looking around she saw him standing off in the corner with her as she took a step toward him he felt her presence in the room and looked around as his eyes locked on hers, time stood still as he couldn't tear them away from her, she was beautiful and in that moment their friendship took on a whole new meaning as she walked toward him, the gown was lavender, floor length, with a low neckline that accented her assets and hugged her body in all the right places. Emily just happened to look up and saw them, it was as if the two of them were the only ones in the room as she moved closer to him, he turned from Courtney and walked toward her meeting her where she stood.
"You look beautiful." He could barely get the words out.
"Thank you, so do you...You look..." She said as she bent her head to one side and looked up at him with a smile.
"Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
" Dance with me Jase." She demanded.
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
As he slipped his arms around her and held her close to him.
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
She slipped her hands around his neck and pulled him close to her.
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words...
They looked into each other's eyes as they danced to the music til the end of the song, then being caught up in moment he leaned down and claimed her lips in a kiss that was so tender and soft and filled with so much promise as a tear slid down her cheek, she pulled away from him which was so much harder than what she thought it would be, he had such a hold on her.
"I need some air." She said looking up at him.
'I'll come with you." He said to her, not wanting to be far from her.
"No, I'll be fine." Sam said as she looked at him then averting her eyes she walked out toward the terrace as he silently cursed himself running his hand through his hair he turned around and came face to face with Emily who nodded her head and walked out after her. Walking through the doorway she looked around and heard her crying around the corner.
"Sam are you okay?" Emily spoke to her as she saw her near the railing.
"Yeah, I am."
"Sam you can talk to me."
"I'm in love with him." Sam said looking at her.
"And he's in love with you too Sam."
"I know, I can see it and feel it, it is the most intense emotion I have ever felt."
"Then what is wrong?"
"I can't move forward, I can't forget about him and I don't want to lose Jason in the process."
"Then tell him Sam, Jason will wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
"And what about Courtney or whatever the hell her name is?"
"What about her?"
"Do she and Jason share a past?"
"Yes they do, he dated her for a while, and honestly I don't think it went any further than a few romps in the sack."
"I see." She said
"Sam he doesn't even recognize her when you are in the same room."
"That's not true Emily, she was with him when I walked in and from the looks of it she had his complete attention." She said looking at her, then shook her head and walked away as Emily watched her, she was jealous and hurt as she followed her back inside she asked the hostess for her things, as Jason walked over and asked her what was wrong.
"I need to go; it was a mistake to come here tonight." She said looking into his eyes.
"Sam...I..."
"Goodbye Jason." She looked at him as he saw the sadness in her eyes, before she turned and walked out the door; he walked outside and watched her walk quickly to get away from him, got into her car and drove off.
