Chapter 4
*Sam*
Sam was sleeping soundly, after she finally fell asleep. She was ecstatic after tonight's events. "Oh my God! Silas asked me out to lunch! Wait…is this a date? Or are we going out as friends?" Sam thought to herself. She didn't care what the circumstances were; she was going out, in public, with Silas Clay! Finally! She was dreaming about their "outing" would be like when she is woken out of her sleep by her phone. "The hell?" a sleepy Sam says as she feels around for her phone. "Who the fuck texts at 6:15 in the damn morning." Sam fusses as she looks at her phone. Her demeanor changed when she saw who it was from. "Good morning Samantha. I hope you had a restful night. Hope to see you later.-Silas." Sam smiled to herself as she texted him back. She didn't know how today was going to turn out but she was ready for it.
Sam got of bed, since sleep was nonexistent now, and went to see if Danny was awake. Much to her surprise he was still sleep. Danny before and after his illness would always be up at the crack of dawn much like his father. She heads downstairs, walking past Rafe's room with him snoring loudly. She'll wake him later on if her sister doesn't do it first. It was Rafe's first day of school at Port Charles High and he needed all the rest he could get. Sam got the coffee started and was sitting down eating a bowl of her favorite cereal when she heard a toy drop signaling that Danny was up. She finished her cereal and headed upstairs. Between getting Danny dressed and making sure Rafe had everything for school, Sam had an eventful morning. They finally head out the door. In the car, Sam couldn't help but smile to herself. Rafe was telling Danny how much he was going to miss him while he was at school and he would smile. They finally get to the school to find Molly waiting for him along with her boyfriend T.J. Surprising because T.J hates Rafe with a passion. Rafe says goodbye to Sam and Danny and gets out the car. She sat there and watched them heading into PCH and saw Rafe turn back and wave goodbye. Sam smiles and wipes a tear from her eye. Right then she knew that Rafe meant the world to her along with Danny.
After dropping Rafe off, they head to Alexis' so she watch Danny while Sam takes care of some thins. She told her mom that she had a lunch date which the next words out of Alexis' mouth were "With who, Silas?" Sam blushes and kisses Danny bye and leaves. She went about her daily errands. Finishing up all of Jason's legal matters, getting Danny's paperwork done with the Quartermaines about his shares of ELQ, things she was doing before Danny got sick. Making sure Spinelli didn't overly be…Spinelli which was a task in itself. By 10:30 she was pooped. Sam went back home to clean but ended up lying on her couch. She was starting to doze off when she heard that all too familiar ringtone. "Hey hope your day has gone good so far. Hoping to see you later at the Metro Court at 12:15 –Silas" Sam smiled then realized the time. "11:00! Shit!" Sam jumps off the couch and races upstairs
*Silas*
Silas anxiously looks at the clock. 11:45. "Damn…" he says. Time was moving by so slowly. He tries to keep busy by doing paperwork, checking on patients, trying to ignore the googily eyes Felix was making at him every time he walked by him. Silas knew Felix had a thing for him, and he couldn't crush his dreams like that so he just let it go without a thought. 11:50. "God, could this morning drag on any longer?" he thought to himself. He started looking at all his pictures in his phone. He stopped on a picture of Rafe. He's the spitting image of his father. Too much so that it scared him. He must have his mother's gentleness and caring demeanor. Traits he didn't inherit from the Clay's. But also, he has his father's eerie calmness that he sometimes got. And the look Stephen used to give Livvie, the "starry-eyed, I just want to hold you in my thoughts and arms and never let you go look", he sees Rafe give Molly sometimes. This didn't sit well with Silas at times. He shook off the feeling and flipped to another picture. Sam and Danny. He had taken it right after Danny came home from the hospital. It took everything to get Danny to look at the camera. He had a new toy that had his attention. He did finally look up and Silas was able to get it. He looked over to Sam in the picture. That smile. The look of pure happiness. Silas felt his heart skip a beat. The twinkle in her big beautiful brown eyes was enough to make anybody's day get better. Silas got so lost in the picture he barely kept up with all that was going on around him.
"Dr. Clay…Dr. Clay…SILAS!" Epiphany stern voice broke him out of his thoughts. "Nurse Johnson, to what do I owe the pleasure?" "Well I've been standing here for the past couple of minutes trying to hand you these test results that you ordered but it seems like there are more pressing matters that have your attention." "No, thank you for these." Silas says trying to deflect the convo. "Mmm hmm." Epiphany says looking at him. "Ummmm….what time is it?" Silas asks. "Ummm…. (looks at watch) 12:05. Why?" "12:05! Fuck! Ummm I have a meeting to attend. Anybody comes looking for me; I've left for the day. Hold all my calls!" Silas yells as he runs down the hall. "O…k…?" Epiphany says as she walks away.
