Chapter 18
Time for some serious work. Frank called Sammy in about 5.00 AM. The shipment arrived earlier and they needed to move it to another location as quickly as possible. Drugs were packed in huge cargo boxes. There were supposed to be for furniture, but not anymore. Sam had to organize the distribution of the load. He had to make sure every car got the right amount and heading in the right direction. Other workers didn't really care who he was, they were there to do the job, get their money and get the fuck out of their way. There have been rumors that every fucked up job equals death. Sam hoped that after this he would still be alive.
He knows that his mission is to get to that club with Andy, but he couldn't help not to snoop around when he had the chance. He noticed some weird boxes, that had to be shipped to United States. The boxes were long and heavy, unfortunately he couldn't figure out what was in them. When he asked Frank, he said it was none of his business and changed the subject. Still it was worth mentioning to Boyd.
It was noon and Sam was driving home. He was tired but knew he couldn't sleep so he decided to visit Andy. After thinking for a long time he decided it was a good idea, but just for a minute. He knew that she would play hard to get and brush him off. He smiled at that thought.
Bar was pretty empty. Only old drunks and some depressed people hang around. Andy cleaned the tables. She just started her shift and she was already tired. It was a long day and night ahead so she tried to preserve her energy as much as she could.
„Hello Casey" a sexy voice greeted her.
Andy turned around and rolled her eyes, but smiling inside. „It's you..."
„What, you are not happy to see me?" he faked a surprise, eyes glowing.
Andy moved to the next table and he followed her.
„Why would I ?"
„Because the love of your life just walked in to the bar and wanted to spend some time with you" he was amused how true this sentence is.
Andy laughed „Oh, really"
Sam smiled when he saw her smile „I knew I could make you laugh"
Andy realized how sad and tired she must of looked when he walked in to the bar. She cleaned the last table and walked to the bar. „So, what do you want? Why are you in here at.." she checked the time "..one o'clock?"
„I wanted to see you." he leaned closer to her.
„And why is that prince Charming?" she stepped away to fill out an order.
„Because I still don't have your number..."
„Yeah right..." she felt her cheeks burning, so she kept her back to him. Holy shit Andy! Keep it together! „You probably want some info on Frank, am I right?" changing the subject
„No" he said quickly.
„Sure you don't." she said sarcastically and looked at him. His eyes are full of ... something different. She kept staring him because this was something new. Is he okay? He looks like jealous and sad and wild at the same time.
„Is there something going on with you and Frank?" he was now jealous.
Andy smiled and said nothing. I still know my guy!
„He did warn me about you." he said his eyes wary.
„Yeah, what did he say" she wanted to know.
„Come closer" he whispered leaning to her over the bar.
Andy hesitated but leaned closer. He was still silent so she leaned even closer.
His mouth was next to her ear, taking in her scent „Frank agreed when I said that you will be in my bed before the week ends."
„Asshole" he punched his arm and pointed to the door „Fuck off!"
„I'm just trying to be honest, love" he looked like he had done nothing wrong, half smiling.
„Funny, so am I... now fuck off" she said again hiding her amusement.
Sam grinned „Fine, but I'll be back and sooner or later it's gonna happen. It's about the little things that show, who we are... you'll see" he smiled for the last time and walked away.
Andy was confused. He wants to make our move quicker but by small things? And then she understood. „If Sam is something, he's jealous and protective, so I need to make him act like that." she paused her inner thoughts "I have to change my clothes then." she smiled towards the door were Sam had disappeared a minute ago.
Today there where 8 guys, counting Sammy. Probably to introduce him to everyone. Andy took a picture with her phone and sent it to Boyd. She was wearing her black top exposing her back and short shorts. „I'll take Frank and the boys." she informed others and moved to their table.
„Hello, boys! I hope you are celebrating not working." she started to hand their drinks.
„Why is that, Casey" Frank finished his old drink.
„Happy hour is in 10 minutes and it will be sad for you to miss our little surprise"
Everybody but Frank frowned.
Andy smirked, „See you in the back ally in 10." she walked away showing off her assets and every guy on that table was staring. Frank cleared his throat, waking everybody from their gaze.
„What's gonna happen?" Sam asked.
„Actually there is three things going to happen – cheap drinks, some sexy pole dancing and a chick fight." Frank grinned and everybody were looking at each other, eyes wide.
Everybody gathered in the ally and Andy stood on a chair to announce the fight.
„Welcome everybody to our first very-very sexy mud wrestling." Andy said the last words moving her body looking as sexy as possible, eyes locked at Sam.
„To my right is standing our own bartender Charice and to my left our dancer Peaches. There really aren't any unknown rules for this so gentlemen place your bets and ladies... remove your clothing."
When they showed their bikinis, everybody started to cheer loudly. And the fight started. She put her money in too, so she was paying attention, but she felt something. She looked around and saw Sam staring at her, then looking to the side. He wants to talk. Andy was hiding her smile.
„Hey, where are you going? You're gonna miss the fight?" said Frank.
„I'm going after something much better." he looked at Andy and Frank snickered.
„I'll let you know who wins" added Frank but Sam already left him.
They met outside of the huge circle of men cheering. Sam grinned as soon as he saw her.
„This must be very important" she rolled her eyes.
„It is..." he made his sexy eyes.
„So the love of my life wants to declare his love for me again?" she snorted.
Sam laughed „Actually I wanted to talk about Franks idea of us working together"
„Oh" Casey was now a bit embarrassed but Andy was happy that they have a reason to spend more time together.
„Did I hurt your feelings, love? I could declare my love for you if you want" he laughed but Andy flipped him off and walked inside the bar.
Sam sat next to her and moved her chair closer. Andy rolled her eyes and moved her chair away.
„What's your plan then?"
„So I guess you wanna do it then?"
„Work with me?"
„No I want to help out Frank, you are just something I have to deal with" she sighed.
„There is a lot to deal, love" he moved closer „you sure you're up to it?" he made his sexy eyes again.
She looked down put her hands together tried to look vulnerable and said silently „I mean... If I have you..." she looked into his eyes „If you help me.." she tried to be even more seductive but he cut her off.
„Oh, I will do whatever you want me to do..." he reached for her, eyes soft but she stood up.
„Good, now that I have my own personal slave let's get started" she smiled.
„What was that?"
„Oh you mean that part where you promised to do everything for me?" she smiled.
„No, that part where you played me.."
„I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings?" she laughed now, happy that it worked.
„No I just like you even more" he stared admiringly at her eyes until she looked away.
„So what's your game plan, tough guy?" she said pouring herself a drink because it was getting harder not to kiss him.
„My game plan?" his eyes smile seeing her taking a drink.
„Don't play dumb, your game plan to win me over." she drank her whiskey and started to pour another one.
„Not sure if I should fill you in on that"
„Oh, come on. I work in a bar. Don't you think that everyone has already tried everything."
Sam thought about that for a second, how countless amount of men have made a pass at her. „Give me a drink"
„You gonna tell me then?" she poured and gave him the drink.
„No, because I don't have one" he heard that the party was ending outside, so he had to wrap it up.
„Really? Why?" she noticed his distraction and knew their time is ending
„Because, Casey..." he finished another drink „You are one of a kind. I already know we belong together. Just waiting for you to see it."
Andy was speechless, her mouth slightly open, eyes wide.
Frank joined them „You managed to silence Casey? Sammy you really are something."
Andy was still frozen and Sam was still staring at her. She knows that he means it but he has never said it, not out loud and looking at her intensely. Holy shit! That was... Finally Sam said „Got to go. See you in the morning Frank. Bye, Casey" and he left.
Frank looked at Casey, waiting for her to say something.
„I like him" Casey finally says „He's different, what to you know about him?"
Frank smiled „Interested in him huh?"
Casey acted like she snapped out of a Sammy daze, which was not hard „What? No? I have to get back to work"
„I'll get you his file" Frank smiled, excited to see what's gonna happen.
„Thanks" she murmured.
It was a busy night. And for the first time Andy was okay with that, she was so excited to see Sam again. She read his file and gave it back to Frank.
„Hey, Casey! Your boys are here."
Casey poured their usual and approached them.
„Hey, guys! Here are your drinks, hope your here for fun not work."
„It is always fun when you're around, sexy" Roy slurred and smacked his hand on her ass.
Andy didn't have the time to even think how to react when Sam stood up and punched his ugly face. Realizing that he has maybe stepped over the line here, he freezed. Oh shit! Andy please tell me you got what I was thinking earlier! Frank and the others looked at him eyes wide. Only you can pull me out of this. He thought looking at her.
Andy understood the situation, because she made it happen, so she placed her hands confidently on her hips „You now I can defend myself!" guys around them relaxed a little.
„Still, no need to get your hands dirty." he said and the others relaxed even more, they didn't give a fuck about Roy.
Roy was sitting back on his chair when Andy elbowed him in the face, making him fall again.
„Maybe I like it dirty" she bit her lip and everybody in the table were staring at her in awe.
Sam did his sexy smile „My apologizes, I am now informed. It will not happen again." guys around him made an approving noise on how Sammy chose to respond to her.
Andy couldn't stop herself from smiling so she decided to leave before she will start giggling like a schoolgirl.
"Okay, my shift is ending soon. What can I get you before I leave?" only Sam could see that behind that smile was a tired Andy who longed for a shower and a comfy bed.
„Beer" said Frank.
Yeah me too" others added.
„A date with you" Sam said clearly over the others. All eyes were on Andy now. She felt butterflies rushing in.
„What?" she needed time to think how she is going to do this.
„I would like a date with you, Casey" his eyes were intense and Andy felt herself melting inside. She was getting hot.
„One date, that's all I ask. After that if you want I can leave you alone. I highly doubt that I will, but if so... „
„Seriously? You think you're that good"
„Only one way to find out" he half smiled
Casey paused and looked at all the wide eyes staring at her. They were sincerely eager to see what's going to happen. That made Andy smile. But seeing Sam say these words made everything inside of her live again. Let's do it Sammy!
„Fine, pick me up tomorrow around eight"
