Chapter 8
*Sam*
Sam was busy cleaning the house. Anytime now Silas would be making his way there. She didn't know why she was nervous. He had seen her place millions of times before. But this was the first time it would be just them (along with Danny of course) in the house. It was different. Danny sat in his playpen looking at his mama running frantic from here to there. Upstairs and back down again making him giggle. Sam looks at him and smiles. "You think this is funny don't you? Well do you know why mommy is running around like a mad woman? She's having a friend over. You remember Dr. Silas right? The man who helped make you feel better." "Si-Si!" squeals Danny. "Yes! He's coming to visit us. So mommy has to make sure everything looks right including us." Sam says tickling Danny's stomach making him laugh. She sits him back down and continues cleaning. Sam almost trips over the coffee table racing to her phone when it rings. "Hey!" "Hello Samantha. How's it going?" "Great! What's up?" "Nothing much. About to finish a couple of rounds. I'll be there in about 45 mins." Silas says. "Ok cool." "You hungry? I could pick up something for us." "Well I was about to call Noodle Buddha to something." Sam says. "Awesome. Call it in and I'll pick it up on my way there." "Awww you don't have to. They deliver." "I don't mind. I don't want anyone besides the kids interrupting us. See you soon." Silas says. "Later." Sam says as they hang up. She flops down on her couch, grinning from ear to ear. She felt like a giddy school girl waiting for her boyfriend to get there. "He calls me Samantha…and he don't want anybody to interrupt us (sighs)" Sam says as she calls the restaurant.
*Silas*
Silas leaves the hospital and heads to Noodle Buddha. Driving there all he could think about is what he dreamed of last night. "No…I'm not like them. I won't be and Rafe won't be either." Silas says to himself. "Don't deny it Silas. You're a Clay. It's in your blood." Stephen's voice pierces his thoughts. Silas slams on breaks almost passing the restaurant. A car had to swerve to avoid hitting him. Silas looks around making sure he's the only one in the car before pulling into the parking lot. Getting out he looks around and breathes deeply. "Don't start this again Silas." He says as he goes inside. "Can I help you?" "Yes I'm here to pick up and order for Samantha Morgan." Silas says. "Ummm….I don't have one here by that name." the waiter says. "Really? She called here about 30 mins ago." Silas says as the waiter looks at his receipts, growing impatient. "I don't have one sorry. What's the telephone number?" "Ummm… (looks at phone) 555-625-8312." "Okay I have that. It's under a Dr. Silas Clay." "Well that's me. I don't know why she put it under my name though." Silas says as he grabs the food, pays and heads out the door to his truck. Making his way to Sam's his nerves start getting the best of him. "Ok Clay, you've been there before. This is nothing new." He finally gets to the complex and goes inside. Before getting on the elevator he takes a long pause. "Well here goes nothing." Silas says as he steps into the elevator.
S&S&S&S&S&S&S&S&S
Silas steps off the elevator on the hall of Sam's penthouse. Coming to her door he hears Danny laughing, which bought him to ease. Hearing his laugh always gave him a sense of calmness and brings a smile every time. Silas knocks on the door as Sam rushes to the door. Fixing herself she opens it. "Hey Samantha. Got lunch." Silas says holding up the bags. "Come on in! Danny look who's here." Sam says as Silas walks in. "Si! Si!" Danny says bouncing up and down. "Well aren't you glad to see me. Hey kiddo." Silas says picking him up. Danny giggles and squirms as Sam takes the bags of food into the kitchen. "I see his energy is gaining back up." Silas says swinging him around. "Yep I can safely say I think he's getting back to normal." Sam says looking at them. "Eh!" Danny says pointing to one of his pointing to one of his toys. "Oooo someone's got a plane." Silas says as he grabs it and makes plane sounds. Sam laughs as thinks to herself. "They are so adorable together. Silas looks so peaceful." "Samantha…is there something on your mind?" Silas says as him and Danny look at her. "No. I was just admiring how good you are with him." Sam says as they sit on the couch and he puts Danny back in his playpen.
"So how was the hospital today?" Sam asks bringing out two beers and a bottle for Danny. "Nothing new. Patients, nurses and doctors. Drake being his usual self on his high horse." Silas says taking a swig. "Hey, Patrick is a good guy. He was a good friend when I needed him." Sam says hold the bottle making sure Danny had it. "Your friend doesn't like me very well." "I think that's because there are too many egos in the room with ya'll two." Sam laughs as she sits down and Silas shoots her a look. "What? It's the truth. What they call it in the jungle, the alpha male thing?" "You got jokes." Silas says. "Well you do have an ego. A big one at that." Sam says. "Is that all you've noticed about me?" "No, I've noticed besides being an arrogant jerk with entitlement issues, you're a mystery." "A mystery? That's the first time I've been called that." Silas says laughing. "Well I'm serious. I don't know anything about you that I haven't found out myself." Sam says. "All with good reason trust me." Silas says. 'Come on Silas I done told you everything you could possibly know about me. It's your turn. Now spill." Sam says with a look on her face.
