Chapter 14 Chapter 14 - A Very Long and Happy Night
David stood out of the club feeling surprised by how nervous he felt. Mark had already gone in
before him He took a deep breath and entered the crowded club and looked around quickly. He felt his
breath stop when he saw her at the table in a corner talking with Robert. He rubbed his jaw while he
watched the two till Robert looked up and saw him standing there waiting just like they had nned.
Robert gave him a discreet nod and David returned it.
Robert made his excuse and he frowned watching her beg Robert to stay making him feel so
jealous and angry. Robert freed himself from her and a smile crossed his lips as he watched Sam pout
with her chin resting on her fist. Serves you right, he thought bitter as he stood there watching her even
after Robert had already left, he felt stuck in ce.
He couldn''t believe after so many long months she was right there but he also recognized the
change in her. Her brown eyes that had sparkled with life six months ago where now dull and haunted,
she was paler and thinner than he remembered, and she had a general air of defeat about her. Slowly
he managed to get himself walking towards her. Just as he had gotten to her table she got up suddenly
and ran straight into him.
"Whoa easy there Wildcat, now where you running off so quickly." David told her not being able
to resist the irony. He felt her stiffen and slowly she looked up at him with surprise painted all over her
face. Her legs gave out from under her and he grabbed her so she wouldn''t fall surprised at how much
she was affected by him. Sam opened her mouth several times but she didn''t seem able to get any
sound toe out. He couldn''t help but smirk down at her seeing she was a total loss for words.
"Wow I knocked you off your feet and left you speechless," he teased her and she turned a
bright shade of red that made his heart skip a beat or two.
"Is it really you," she finally managed ask catching him by surprise once more by the hopeful
look on her face.
"Yes Sam, it''s really me," he said coolly and suddenly she wrapped her arms around his neck
pulling herself against him and kissed him hungrily. David''s jaw drop in surprise, all of his blood rush
south in record time and he wrapped his arms around her tightly not being able to stop himself from
returning her kiss just as intense.
They finally broke the kiss; David was breathless and bing confused. Sam seemed to be
just as surprised by her actions as he was. She gasped quietly turning once more bright red removing
her arms from around him and yet again he was surprised by the fact he didn''t want that loss of contact
between them despite his original intentions.
Sam started to clumsily mumbled to herself but he couldn''t quite get what she was saying but
he was guessing she was chastising herself. She looked back up to David biting her lip. "I...I sh-" she
started with a look of insecurity but he interrupted her with a gentle kiss before taking her hand and led
her to the dance floor without saying a single word.
They fell into rhythm easily with the music and David found himself mesmerized with her lips
that she insisted on chewing on so nervously. He wondered what was so special about them that they
made Sam''s kisses so incredible. So incredible that he had never been able to find a woman that
kissed half as good as she did. Feeling his resolve start to slip he looked away from her lips and looked
at her. She was looking at him with an expression he couldn''t read and that irritated him, he felt the
need to know what she was thinking.
"I am so sorry David," she said as if she knew what he was thinking. He could see tears in her
eyes threatening to fall with her face filled with sadness. David wasn''t sure what to reply back to her.
He told himself long ago that even if she dared apologize he would never ept it, she didn''t deserve
it. "I have been such a horrible person to you and I really have done nothing more than step all over
you," she exined.
"Yes you have," he replied with a slight bitter tone that caused her eyes to fall downwards, filled
with tears.
"I can''t even begin to know how I could ever fix what I have done, or if that is even possible,"
she continued. It''s toote for that, was all David could think with bitterness. He started to tell her so
when she spoke again. "I know you probably don''t care by now but I just want you to know that I do
love you, even if I have a horrible way of showing it. I love you and always will," She finished and David
felt his whole world stop when she spoke those words.
Sam stepped away from him and David felt more confused than ever. He didn''t know what to
do; he hade here for the sole purpose of revenge. He wanted to make her worse fearse true,
to humiliate her the way she had done him but now he wasn''t sure if he could do it. She had finally said
what he had wanted her to say that day half a year ago and willingly. It was clear she had suffered as
well as he did, and even though she was terrified of what he would say to her she had the courage to
apologize.
David came out of his thoughts and realized that Sam not only had stepped away from him but
she was walking away him and towards the door to leave. Panic seized him as he lost sight of her, he
bolted in the direction she had gone realizing that he couldn''t lose her again, and it was simply destroy
him beyond the point of return. He pushed through the mass of people ignoring theirints till he
caught her by the hand. She turned and looked at him with her tear streaked face filled with confusion.
"You''re a silly woman Sam," he told her with a pointed tone and her face twisted even more into
confusion and he pulled her up against him and lowered his lips to her ear. "I love you too, I have since
the first time Iid my eyes on you," he whispered and she jerked back in surprise.
"Seriously, even after everything I''ve done," she asked with surprise in her voice and she so
surprised and confused that he couldn''t resist a smallugh.
"Yes seriously," David replied with a smile on his lips. "But only if you can really love me, not
only in words but in action as well. I need you Sam; I need to be the one who cheers you up when
you''re depressed, the one who you tell your day to during the evening, the one who you confide your
dreams, wishes, and fears to, and the one who wakes up next to you every morning. I need you to do
all this and never let something like what happened six months ago happen again. I couldn''t pass
through that again, I don''t think I would survive. Can you do that?" He asked her looking at her waiting
desperately for her reply.
Every second that passed and she remained silent was killing him and the fear that she''d walk
away from him was growing and he knew it would crush him like the first time. "Yes," she whispered
quietly and he had never felt more relieved in his life but smiled an impish smile.
"Sorry I didn''t hear that," he told her and she pressed her lips together only making his smile
grow, how much he missed teasing her.
"Yes you did," she said with a small smile and he shook his head in denial. "I said yes," she
repeated a little louder and he shook his head.
"What?" David repeated with a strained expression.
"Yes," she shouted this time causing several people to give them irritated looks but he just
laughed as she blushed a deep red color.
"Yes," he repeated and grabbed her lifting her up into his arms and spinning in circles. He was
feeling happier than he ever had in his life as he kissed her again. He slowly set her back on the floor,
as their lips parted. "It took you long enough," he told her pinching her bottom. She squealed jumping
away from him pping him lightly on the arm.
"Hey, watch those hands," she scolded him with a yful look that made him want to throw her
over his shoulder and run to his apartment with her as quick as he could. He pulled her against him
once more.
"No, you''re mine now you will just have to get used to it," he told her evilly and she blushed
once more.
"I don''t remember agreeing to that," Sam replied with a pointed but yful look.
"Something''s don''t need to be said Wildcat," David replied back and she just rolled her eyes at
him. He lowered his head to hers so he could give her another ardent kiss.
"Well I will take that is a good sign," he heard Robert tease and David groaned silently as Sam
pulled away from him and turning to Robert.
"Hey Pansy, couldn''t you have waited a little longer. Can''t you see we are busy?'' David said a
little acidly and Sam gasped looking at him horrified.
"Don''t worry too much Ass; I just wanted to wish my friend a good night," Robert replied.
"Robert," Sam eximed turning her horrified look to her friend who gave her a wink and she
looked back to David then back to him. "You two....have met?" She asked surprised.
"Yes, we have. Who do you think set up this little meeting?" David told her and she looked to
Robert who nodded and gave a little shrug.
"I knew it! I knew you two were up to something," She replied then doubled her fist and
punched him in the arm.
"Ouch, what was that for," heined and David was nearly doubled over withugher.
"What''s that for! It''s for not listening to me!" She snapped putting he hands on her hips.
"Well someone had to do something. Your too God damn stubborn to do it yourself. If it wasn''t
for me you''d still be in Indianapolis with your typical pout buried in mountains of books," Robert told her
and she rolled her eyes at him.
"That is so beside the point!" Sam red at him then hit him again. "I guess that exins the
busted lip," she said with a matter of fact tone as she gave him a sharp look and she looked back at
David and seemed to notice for the first time he also had a split lip.
"I am sure you will find a way to forgive me Study bunny, I will see you tomorrow," Robert told
her musing her hair and she shrieked batting him off with her hands. David felt a small pang of jealousy
but sessfully ignoring it since it was his arms around her this time.
"Don''t bother going to the hotel either," he told her rising up two card keys and she gawked at
him in disbelief all over her face. Robert gave her a wink and disappeared once more into the crowd.
That guy wasn''t so bad after all, David thought watching him leave.
"God, I have been set up good," Sam huffed and he grinned at her brightly pulling her close to
him.
"Yep but he''s right you had iting. You really are too stubborn for your own good." David told
her then took one of her hands in his leading her towards the door.
"Where are we going," she asked and he gave her a naughty smile.
"Where I can have you all to myself, it''s been a long six months waiting for you toe
around," he told her and she turned a bright shade of pink.
The trip to his apartment never seemed longer, as he nced over towards her. He couldn''t
believe she was sitting right next to him and he was going to take her home with him to what would be
a very long and happy night that would only lead to many long happy nights. His blood was boiling and
his body was burning when they got to his apartment. As soon as he closed the door he pulled her
against him and he trailed desperate kisses down her neck wrapping one arm around her waist and the
other hand buried itself her beautiful brown hair. She giggled quietly.
"You''re not even going to show me your apartment first," she asked him teasingly.
"There is only one room you need to see right now," He told her picking her up and tossing her
over his shoulder.
"Oh God, David what are you doing," she shrieked his surprise as he carried her off to the
bedroom. "You''re going to drop me or something," she shrieked again. "David put me down," she
demanded clinging to him fearfully. Heughed full heartedly and pinched her bottom again.
"Don''t worry Wildcat, I am not going to drop you," he replied setting her down when they were
in his bedroom. "I will never let anything happen to you," David told her huskily and giving her an
intense and hungry kiss.
The next morning David woke up to find Sam staring at him. "What," he asked curiously and
she blushed pink.
"Nothing," she said quickly looking away but David pulled her against him nuzzling softly her
cheek.
"Sam," he started with a pointed tone. "Remember you promised to let me in, so tell me what
was going through that beautiful mind of yours," he demanded and she blushed even deeper.
"It''s silly," sheined and he smiled insisting once more before nibbling on her ear softly
making her giggle "Okay, I was just thinking that I couldn''t believest night was real. When I woke up I
was afraid for a moment I might have dreamed it all. Go ahead andugh at me now," she stated
looking embarrassed. David cupped her face in his hand giving her a soft chaste kiss on her lips.
"I will neverugh at you Wildcat, and that is the most perfect thing you could have ever said to
me," he told her kissing her again also noting that it was the first time he had woken with her still in the
bed instead of gone or leaving it. He nned to stay in this bed with her for as long as it was humanly
possible.
In fact they didn''t get up till well into the afternoon when both their stomachs wereining
from the neglect. He had insisted she wear his shirt, he found it incredibly sexy to see her in it. David
kissed Sam''s cheek softly as he prepared a quick breakfast having pinned her between him and the
stove, feeling the need to have her against him at all times. "This is no way to cook David, You''re going
to burn the food, yourself, or me!" she insisted.
"Don''t worry about a thing Wildcat, it''s almost finished anyways," he told her giving her soft kiss
on her neck making herugh softly which only grew as he pulled her across the kitchen to grab some
tes.
"David will you stop," sheughed with arge smile that was making him forget about his need
for food for another need that was starting to grow to dangerous limits again.

"Well I guess this exins why you missed our date and don''t answer the door," a woman
stated from behind them. David cursed and wondered why the hell he ever gave that woman a set of
keys to his apartment.
"Hello mother, sorry about the lunch. Ipletely had forgotten about it," he stated turning to
face the older woman with a smile. Sam made an odd squeaking sound dashing behind him to hide
herself. He could almost feel the heat from her blush on his back and he smiled. His mother raised an
eyebrow with a questioning look.
"I can see that, who might that be," She asked simply and David smiled.
"This is Sam," he told her.
"Sam as in the Sam," his mother asked and he nodded moving so she could see the woman he
was so madly in love with but Sam gasped moving back behind him. He tried to pull her out from
behind him but Sam pped at him andined.
"Oh don''t do that David, don''t humiliate the poor girl," his mother scolded him with a smile. "I''ll
leave you two to whatever it was you were doing. I am guessing you''ll want to take the week off," She
asked and David nodded loving how well his mother understood him. "You can disappear from work for
a while but I fully expect to see you in three days for Christmas so I can get a proper introduction and
everyone else will want to meet her as well," his mother told him.
"Of course, don''t worry we''ll be there," he replied and his mother smiled at him happily before
leaving. When they heard the door shut Sam groaned loudly.
"That was horrible," Sheined and David turned to see that her ming blush had
extended to her neck and chest as well. "How do I always make an idiot of myself! Oh God what she
must think of me," sheined and Davidughed.
"Don''t be silly," he told her setting his hands on her hips giving her a kiss on her forehead. "You
didn''t make an idiot of yourself Sam and don''t worry about my mother, you didn''t make any bad
impression on her. Trust me, if she didn''t like what she saw, or in this case almost saw considering you
were hiding behind me, you would know. My mother isn''t one for ttery," he told her. Sam nibbled her
lip nervously still a good shade of red. "Now don''t fret on that and let''s eat," he told her.
David started to clear the table when they had finished their meal. "David are you sure its okay
that you take time off of work so suddenly. I don''t want you to get into trouble with your boss because of
me," Sam stated suddenly and Davidughed at her sudden randomness as he ced the dishes in
the sink. "I can meet you after you get off of work. I can do some more tourism with Robert during the
day," Sam added and David scoffed.
He pulled her up from her chair and against him. "Sam it''s been six months since we have been
together there is no way I am going to spend the next few days at work and you off with some other
man, especially Robert," he told her giving her a quick peck on the lips.
"What do you mean especially Robert," Sam asked looking confused and David smiled realizing
she had no idea. Good, he didn''t want her to ever notice any man that wasn''t him.
"Well I am not at all happy letting you spend the day with a man that if he had it his way would
be here holding and kissing you instead of me," David replied. She looked at him surprised and
confused.
"What are you talking about? We''ve only ever been friends," She insisted.
"Only because you wanted to be just friends, I know because he told me so. Why do you think I
hit him...several times actually," David told her and a small smile came across her lips.
"Your horrible David," She told him with mock scorn before giving him a peck on the lips.
"Get use to it Wildcat, because there is no way you''re going to ever be in anyone''s arms but
mine," he told her kissing her passionately, deciding to satisfy his other need now that he was no longer
hungry.
