Sam let herself into her apartment and went directly to her hot tub. She needed to have a soak and allow herself to unwind after such a emotionally trying day. She pulled on her white bikini, lit a few candles and turned on some soft music. After about 5 minutes the doorbell rings. ARGHHHHH she moaned. She decided to ignore it but the knocking became more insistant. Fine! she climbed out and wrapped her white robe with silver trimming around her. She flung open the door. This better be go... ! Sam stopped in mid sentence as she saw Gabriel standing there. Gabriel was momentarily at a loss for words as he took in the slightly damp hair, robe that clung to her body allowing him a full glimpse of every beautiful curve.
"Hi, Samnatha" , he said.
Sam felt strangely cold as she saw the admiration he couldn't hide in those steel gray eyes.. They always react like this she thought contemptously. They see her body and immediately their minds wander to ways of getting it. Sam felt her hackles rise.
" What do you want Gabriel.?" She asked.
Gabriel felt the temperature in the atmosphere drop almost 20 degrees. he cocked his head sideways and smiled
"Well Samantha , that is a very loaded question." he laughingly replied.
Sam was not amused and felt her temper rise immediately.
"What exactly do you want other than to look at me as if I am some sort of meat that you can have for your pleasure? " I can assure you that I am not and I don't appreciate you staring at me as if I would just drop backward for you the moment you turn those gray eyes in my dierction. I know what you think you know about me but YOU DO NOT KNOW me. she breathed heavily as she finished her tirade, whiskey colored eyes flashing.
The smile dropped from Gabriels face." Samantha, You left your phone in my car" .he said handing it to her. Now, " I looked at you because you are a stunningly beautiful woman and yes as a man I appreciated what I saw in front of never did I say anything about you falling backward for me. Maybe next time you should wait until you are asked before denying a request that was never made. Futhermore Samantha , he said walking closely up to her and holding her chin to meet his piercing gaze, I am NOT them. I have not hurt you, disrespected you, used you, abused you or treated you like you didn't matter. I have treated you like the beautiful woman you are. I won't be paying for another man's mistakes. Understand?
Sam was speechless for a moment and couldn't reply.
"Understand?" Gabriel demanded.
"Yes" , Sam whispered.
"Good", Gabriel turned and left.
Sam closed the door and sank slowly to the floor and cried.
