Someone Like You Chapter 21
Jason couldn't believe it had been a month since he had seen her, as he stood at the window looking out and the bay and beyond to Windermere the rain softly fell and mirrored his mood. He hadn't been able to get her out of his mind and that night that she gave herself to him so willingly. He had no business saying what he did to her, it was spoken out of fear of losing her for one and anger because of her comments. Closing his eyes he remembered how she felt beneath his touch, silky soft, tanned skin with a splattering of freckles that danced along, as his tongue made sweet contact with her, he inhaled her scent and she responded to him in ways that no woman ever had. He was so in love with her that he couldn't see straight, nor have a single rational thought.
Samantha McCall sat her desk at Locust Industries, she had taken a job for Lorenzo Alcazar and it had been working out fine except for the usual daydreaming that went on while she tried to concentrate on the matters at hand, which were facts and figures presently. She couldn't get Jason out of her mind, and the night that they had made love, then afterwards the blow out that they had because of her stubbornness and stupidity to accept it for what it was, the best thing in her life thus far, well for the past three years. For a few days she just sat in silence and tears regretting what she had done, but at the same time, she needed to find her own way in this world and couldn't be dependant on Jason Morgan for everything, nor did she want to be.
Lorenzo had been generous to her with an ample salary, so that she could get back on her feet, She had hired Leticia to watch Justin full time while she was away during the day.
Glancing up from her desk she saw Lorenzo at his desk as he conducted business on the phone he glanced up and saw her looking at him and smiled to her, as she smiled back. As he hung up the phone he turned around in his chair as she got up and brought some papers that needed his signature on them. Getting up she straightened out herself and made her way over to him, looking up her couldn't believe how easy it had been to get her to work for him, She was gorgeous, her business attire covered a beautiful body underneath that he wanted to explore and he would, he would make Jason Morgan eat his words, literally.
"I need your John Hancock on these documents." She said looking up at him with her brown eyes, and full lips.
"Have I told you how great of a job you are doing here?"
"Yeah, in fact you told me yesterday."
"Well, I appreciate you coming to work for me."
"Well thank you for offering the job to begin with Mr. Alcazar." She said as she looked and their eyes locked for a few seconds, before she looked away blushing.
"Hey I already told you that it's Lorenzo." He said smoothly to her.
"Okay Lorenzo." She said as she took the documents from him.
"So, Sunday is your birthday isn't it?"
"You remembered."
"I did and I was wondering if you would be available for dinner, just as friends nothing more."
"Yeah, that would be nice." She smiled truly looking forward to it.
"I will pick you up about seven o'clock how does that sound?"
"Fine, I am looking forward to it."
"Me too, well I am done here for the day, I will see you on Sunday."
A few hours later as she walked through the door to her place she hugged Justin to her and asked if Leticia would be willing to watch him on Sunday evening. She said that she would be able to do that, and that she would see her then. Walking over to the stereo she switched on the stereo and made her way over to her bedroom, kicked off her shoes, slid off her pantyhose, then took of her skirt and blouse and hung them back up. Grabbed a pair of sweats and a tank top and changed into them.
"Mommy I am hungry." Justin said walking up to her and hugging her close.
"Okay, let's go into the kitchen and see what we can find to eat okay?"
"Alright." He said taking his hand they grabbed the dinner out of it and setting him up on the counter he watched his mommy make dinner.
"So did you have a nice day? Did Leticia take you to the park?"
"Yeah. I miss Michael mommy, when he is coming back." He said catching her off guard.
"I don't know. I think he must be very busy with school."
"Oh. When do I get to go to school?"
"In about another year and a half pumpkin." She said as he looked up at her looking every bit like Zander. "You are so sweet do you know that?" she said leaning down and kissing him on the top of his head."
Another day done and over with not managing to get anything done because he has no idea what is going on with her. She lives not five minutes away and how they seemed to have not crossed paths for a month was disturbing, he wondered if in fact she had left without a word. Grabbing his coat he told Michael he would be back in about an half an hour and walked out the door locking it behind him as his son watched him shaking his head.
Jason made it down to the first floor in no time at all, then out of the building, and across the way as he ran to her place, seeing her a sense of relief washed over him, as he moved across the street, he opened up the gate very quietly to her place as the bell on it started to jingle.
"What the hell?" He said as he reached over and silenced it, it hadn't been there a month ago, when all of a sudden he figured out why she had it there. Walking across the living room floor he could see her shadow pass by him as she made her way to the kitchen. Finally getting inside the gate, he stepped closer to her place staying in the shadows so that no one would see him, he looked through the cracks of the curtains that hung and watched her, he could stay there forever and in fact would have if the neighbors dog hadn't started barking uncontrollably.
"Damn dog." He muttered to himself as the owner had begun to opened the door and come out to investigate, he quietly slipped back through the gate.
Sam was catching up on her favorite soap when she heard the dog next door going crazy, checking her watch, it was late, she got up and ran a hand through her hair and walked to the front door, flipped on the light and deciding to investigate further she walked outside noticing that the bell that hung on the gate was gone.
"Oh baby come out here, I just want to see you." He muttered to himself as if she heard it she opened the gate door and walked out, thinking that maybe Justin had taken the bell and dropped it on the way to or from the park. "Oh god you're so damn beautiful." He whispered.
When her cell phone went off, she grabbed it up quickly, and answered it so as to not make the dog start up again.
"Hello."
"Hey yeah I will be out there tomorrow, I am looking forward to it too, its been to long. No, I won't be able to stay out there all weekend long. I have a date on Sunday night." She said as he listened to it, his whole world crashed around him, she had moved on, but with who?
"Okay, I will see you tomorrow; I love you too, bye." She said and hung up the phone. Taking one more look around she was just about to walk inside when she heard a jangling coming from behind her, putting her hand up to shade the light from the streetlamp she looked across the street and saw him standing there.
"So you have a date on Sunday do you?" He said angry and jealous as all get up.
"What the hell does it matter Jason we have decided to go our separate ways, by way what are you doing her? You made it abundantly clear to me when we last spoke that you wouldn't be around anymore, so what is it to you if I do have a date or not? She said to him as he moved toward her.
"Tell me who you're seeing damn you." He said seething with anger as he reached out and grabbed her, pulling her to him.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She said as she smacked him across the face he let her go and looked at her at her surprisingly.
"I'm sorry Sam, I didn't mean to..."
"Let me make this clear to you, I don't belong to you, nor do you own me. I will see whoever I damn well please do you copy me?" She told him as she looked into his eyes with fury and hurt directed at him.
"Two can play at that game; you're not the only lay in town you know." He spat at her.
"I might not be the only lay in town as you said, but I will be the only one you remember." She said looking at him with the intent to make it known then turning on her heels and walked back across the street, as he watched her.
"We'll see about that." He said.
