Someone Like You Chapter 22
Jason walked into the house and slammed the door as he tossed his keys on the desk and looked at Michael.
"That bad huh? I told you to take it slow, but no, you wouldn't listen to me." Michael said as Jason looked at him, then shook his head, damn her if she wanted a game she was going to get it. He needed to get out of here for a while. Picking up the phone he called Leticia to see if she was available to watch Michael for the evening she agreed and said she would be there in about ten minutes.
"Where are you going?" Michael said as he looked at him.
"Out." Jason said angered and upset from his encounter with Sam as he ran up the stairs and got changed, he heard the knock on the door down below and Leticia talking to her, then coming back down the stairs when he caught part of conversation.
"I am so glad to see you; Justin tells me everyday how much he misses you." She said to Michael.
"What the hell?" he muttered to himself.
"Hey Jason, how are you doing?" She said.
"Fine, what's this about Justin?" He said looking at Leticia for clarification.
"He misses Michael and asks me about him everyday."
"Am I missing something here?" Jason said as he looked at her with a look on his face of complete confusion.
'I have been working for Sam for about a month now."
"What do you mean?" he said looking at her.
"She has been working for Lorenzo, she's his secretary." As Jason looked at her dumbfounded and without a word to say. That's who she was seeing, he was almost positive of it, as he conjured up images in his mind of her and him together. Sam was sexy as all hell and he could just seeing her in some short damn skirt, and blouse that revealed her assets being sprawled on Lorenzo's desk giving it to him.
"Are you okay?" Leticia said to him making him snap out of it.
"Yeah, I need to get out of her." He said grabbing his keys and his jacket and walked out the door slamming it behind him as he made his way to the elevator, once inside he paced back and forth like a cat, cursing to himself and beyond angry, he felt like putting his hand right through a wall, getting on his bike he turned it over and revved up the engine as it purred to life underneath him, putting it into gear he drove out of the garage and down the road, trying to escape the images in his mind of her and Lorenzo getting the last laugh on Jason. Pulling up to the front of Jakes he parked his bike and walked inside as his eyes adjusted the darkness of it he walked along the bar when he noticed her at the bar enjoying a beer, she turned around and looked up at him, as he made eye contact with her.
Sitting down next to her he ordered a beer from Coleman behind the bar then paid for it and took a long drink off of it then setting it back down he stared ahead of him not bothering to look at her.
"Where's what's her name?" She asked as she watched him seeing how angry he was getting. "Oh I remember, she was at the hotel doing him last weekend, I saw them in the lobby he had a hard time keeping his hands off of her and from the looks of it she wasn't complaining."
"Shut up!" He said as his anger had turned to rage he took another sip from his beer and ordered another one.
"We used to have fun together Jason."
"Shut the hell up."
"Come on baby." She said as she reached over and rubbed the front of his pants over his bulge that was becoming harder by the second; he closed his eyes in response. "I want to feel you inside of me." She said as she kissed him he slammed down his beer and looked at her, as he reached out he kissed her wildly then took her hand in his and walked out of the bar as they both got on the bike and drove to a sleazy motel on the other side of town trying to rid his mind of Sam.
The next day...
"Hey, I am not going to be able to make it today, I am just so exhausted." She said into the phone totally needing a break, going out to her parents' house in the state of mind she was in from last night's heated argument with Jason, she couldn't think clearly and the last place she needed to be was behind the wheel of a car. She said that she would hopefully make it next week instead. Hanging up the phone she looked around the house, it was beautiful and she really had wanted to get the street fair this afternoon, but for now she had to get some housework and laundry done. It was still fairly early and she didn't quite feel like getting up and doing it all yet.
As she lay on the couch and tried to concentrate on Sponge Bob's antics on the tube she had a hard time doing just that. Truth was, she missed him like crazy, and couldn't get that night out of her head no matter how hard she tried. About an hour later she got up and started getting her chores done, walking outside she put a load of clothes in the washer then walked inside.
Jason turned over in bed as he remembered last night and what had happened after he and Courtney left Jakes and took off together.As the phone started to ring he answered it was her and she was just making sure that they were still going this afternoon. He said that they were and that she could meet him here.
After she laid Justin down for a nap, she ran outside to grab up the last load of her laundry then brought it into the house and set it down and folded them as her mind kept wandering back to him.When she got out of the shower she walked into her bedroom and grabbed her jeans, her top and walked back into the bathroom with them, as she got her make up on and did her hair, then grabbing her clothes she put them on, just as she heard Justin's door open.
"Are we going to go to the street fair?"
"Yeah, when are we going?"
"In about 10 minute's sweetie." She said as she slid her sandals on, then walked into his bedroom with him and got him changed quickly. Then checking the clock she grabbed his hand and walked out, today instead she decided to take the car for any purchases she might make. He wanted his stroller to, so she made sure it was still in the car, walking around she put him in the car, then got in her self and drove off.
"Come on Michael, let's go." He said to him as Michael just looked at him and shook his head.
"You're playing with fire dad." He said looking at him and Courtney as they stood at the door waiting for him.
"Shut up and let's just go okay." Jason said as he held her hand they walked out the door together and got onto the elevator.
"So Michael what kinds of things do you like to do?" Courtney asked to make small talk on their way down to the bottom floor as Michael just ignored her and shook his head.
"Michael answer Courtney now."
"Fine, I will tell you what kind of things I like to do. I like to go to baseball games, in fact Sam took us to one and we had a blast didn't we dad?" He smiled up at him and shot Courtney a nasty look.
"That's enough mister."
"You wanted me to talk to her." He said looking up at him just as the doors for the elevator opened and they walked out.
Sam finally found a parking place as she parked she got out and grabbed the stroller out of the back then setting it up in, she got Justin out and put him inside then slipping her backpack onto her back she straightened out her hair and started walking down the street as she stopped to let a car pass in front of her before crossing into the fair as she started walking along looking at nothing in particular
"Dad is it okay if I go on up ahead of you?" He said looking back at the two of them who weren't paying attention, he just shook his head and walked up ahead of them a little bit and then he saw her and he knew what was coming.
Trying to somehow help the circumstances he walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder as she turned around and was surprised to see him.
"Michael." She said as Justin turned around and started going crazy, he couldn't climb out of his stroller fast enough to hug him, as she looked down at him and was so glad that Jason was here, she wanted to apologize for being wrong, so wrong about everything.
"Where is your dad?" She said to him as he looked at her then glanced behind him seeing him with Courtney he turned back around and looked at her with a look of concern on his face for her. "What's the matter?" She said as she straightened back up and looked seeing Jason with his arms around Courtney as she hung allover him he was kissing her as they pulled apart he looked around and saw Michael with her and Justin as their eyes met each others, she wiped the tear from her cheek.
"Hey what's going on?" Courtney said looking at him as he looked at Sam. "Well, well, well there is the little tramp now." She said looking at her as she made her way over to her, as she held him by the hand.
Michael stood in front of Sam and held her hand. "I have to go Michael." She said as she looked down at him. "I will be okay, it's alright." She swallowed hard. "Take care okay." She said as she looked down at him then glancing up briefly she looked at Jason and shook her head, then turned not wanting to have a scene in the middle of the place.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Courtney sneered as Jason tried to get her to shut up
"Shut up." He said to her as he tried to get her to be quiet she undid her wrist from his hand and walked over to Sam and stood in front of her. "We did it all night long, and he didn't mention your name once." She sneered at her as Sam smacked her right across the face sending her to the ground, then looking back at him.
As Sam walked up to him he looked at her. "I guess the joke's on me." She said looking at him. "I have to go." She turned to go when he reached out for her.
"Sam." He said as he held her arm with his hand.
"It's over Jason." She said to him.
"I'm sorry Sam I should have..."
"It should have never gotten to this point Jason, I should have told you weeks ago how I felt about you and that I was sorry for how I acted that morning, I was messed up, but that shouldn't have kept me from coming to you. I will always love you." Then turning she walked over to Michael as he hugged her, she gave him a kiss and walking by Courtney who was holding her chin she looked back at Jason one last time and left.
