Ch. 7- Hard to Handle
"Dysfunctional" Ginny repeated shaking her head at Samantha in disgust. "Honestly I don't know how you could be in a relationship with someone you agree with on absolutely nothing. How can you deal with that constant tension?"
Sam was about to reply when Ginny saw her face and jumped in, "Never mind, I'd rather not know the details."
"Suit yourself. But they're hot Ginny. Hot!" Sam responded with a grin. She was sitting in the Harpies locker room waiting for Ginny to change so they could meet Draco and Drew for dinner.
(Ginny's idea, Sam suggested they invite Blaise instead.)
"Besides, if Drake and I weren't fighting what would we do with ourselves?"
"Go on walks in the park, watch movies, play board games. Normal stuff."
"Is that what you and Drew do? Sit around on Saturday nights and play board games?" That had to be the dullest thing Sam could imagine.
"There is nothing wrong with playing board games. Drew and I have a stable relationship. We are perfectly content to stay at home and enjoy each others company. There is no need for all the extra stuff when you have trust, and compatibility, and it's not based purely on sex."
"It sounds all nice and dandy for you Gin, but personally, if I don't get to throw things every once in a while I get bored. You use to be that way. Maybe the reason you've been so uptight lately is because you aren't releasing enough tension."
Ginny had been in the middle of pulling her shirt over her head when Sam words hit her. "Excuse me?" she said indignantly.
"Drew and I release plenty of tension thank you very much and I have absolutely no need for anymore comments about my sex life from you of all people who parade around with the likes of Quidditch stars, notorious playboy singers, actors, and Draco-bleeding-Malfoy."
Sam put her hands up in a defensive motion. You keep telling yourself that Gin.
She apologized and they went to dinner. Yeah, I got to get Blaise to get a move on. Was Sam's constant thought as she listened to Drew drone on about merchandise fraud.
Bridget sat in front of Samantha hands clasped on the table between them as Sam poured over the list of names and bios of potential replacements for their lead man.
"Too young, too old, too gay, too boyishly cheeky, he'd drive us nuts Bridget. With his horrible flirting, and…speaking of, this guy," she waved the folder in the air, "he's a notorious womanizer. I worked with him on a music video a few years back and I'm pretty sure he got two of the make-up girls pregnant and we were only shooting for a day."
Sam stood up to pace, "We need someone big. Someone with that star power quality, whose presence makes the audience go wow."
"Alright, for you Sami Bee, I'll do it." Jason Trent, boy band sensation gone movie star extraordinaire with action packed six-packs to go along with his perfect brunette curls and panty dropping grin.
In fact Bridget may have been drooling slightly. "He'll do." She said standing on slightly wobbly legs.
"I'm just gonna leave now." She gathered up her glasses, papers, and folders and quickly scurried out of the office.
"So what do you say Sam? JT is at your service."
"Anyone who refers to themselves via nickname in the third person, will not be allowed in my play." Sam stood to stare down the pretentious intruder.
"Really, because I don't see you having that many options. This is what happens to people who fly across oceans without connections."
"I have plenty of connections thank you very much."
"Ah yes, Draco Malfoy, what a catch darling."
"Well he's more of a conversationalist than Svetlana large-Boobs."
"I missed you Sami." He extended his arms and Sam grinned moving in for a hug.
"What are you doing here Jay? I thought you were working on a new movie or something."
"Plan's fall through and a little bird told me you were looking for a leading man. I figured I'd help you out."
"Really, you traveled across an ocean, just for little old me?"
"Samantha Black for you I would travel across worlds. I also would love to meet your dashing new suitor."
"And the truth comes out. You've got yourself a deal on the role, I'm not going to pretend I didn't have fun last time we worked together. As for my "new suitor" I like Draco and will not have you harassing him. I may date whom ever I want and you don't get a say in the matter."
He pursed his lips in amusement starring down at his ex-girlfriend. Whatever kind of man Draco Malfoy was, he had his hands full with Samantha Black.
He raised his hand three fingers up, "Scouts honor, I Jason Trent will not do any harassing of any kind to Draco Malfoy. All I would like to do is shake the hand of the man and wish him luck. Lord knows with you he is going to need it."
He finished, grinning ear-to-ear. Sam slapped his arm. "Fuck you. We've got to get to work. Go find Bridget, get a script and we'll get started."
She walked out the door but turned back for a final word. "And Jay, FYI Draco can handle me perfectly."
Author's Note: So it has been over a month since I have posted and this chapter was by no means worth the wait. I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart! I have had the worst writers block on the planet coupled with a completely hectic schedule that I have not been writing. I hope you can forgive and continue to follow the story. Thanks so much!
