Chapter 4 Samantha

It's morning and as usual my alarm rings at eight so I turn it off and turn it on are on the other side. The ottoman is empty, Victor doesn't seem to be at all returned home. I know who she’s with so I don’t worry at all. I just hope so he smoothed everything out. I change from a nightgown into leggings and a tunic and go downstairs to breakfast. On the way down my son that Blake is there somewhere and that I have to a little put in order. How to make your own body not react so strangely to him? A question I don't have an answer to yet.

There is no one in the kitchen, our hostess Melody comes around noon because lunch we already have prepared. I slowly take the butter and honey out of the fridge, I place slices of bread on a plate and place them on the counter while my tea is brewing. I seem to have delved into my thoughts and smeared butter on the bread because I didn't feel anyone in the room with me.

"Where's your husband, sister-in-law?" I froze and stopped with a knife in my hand, as I feel Blake's breath next to my ear. He approached me on everything a few inches, it doesn’t touch me, but it’s like it’s completely leaning against my body. The realization that he is so close to me, he is so unpredictable and enigmatic, makes my bodily reactions go wild.

My heart stopped beating, I held my breath, and he laid his hand on it mine as I hold it in the air so lower it to the counter.

"We don't want you to get hurt. Am I that awesome? Or it's just you timid? ”

Somehow I come to my senses and answer him.

"I'm not scared, I just didn't expect you."

"Expect me. From today often. "

I somehow pull my hand out of his and put the knife on the table and pull it out I sit next to him and sit at the table. To disable him from something unpleasant topic, I start a new one myself.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"So you're going to be a helpful sister-in-law?" Generous? ”

"I am just being kind. And I want us to get along well. "

"We will get along well. Too good. Do you feel that too? ”

"What?" I don't follow his thoughts at all. Where's Victor? Where is the father-in-law? Anyone come and stop this !!!

"You look a little confused, sister-in-law. Do I have to explain to you now things? ”I stare at him, powerless to look away or run away from him, until my brain can think of a single clever replica which would end this, so like a fool I just put a piece of bread in my mouth and I eat. As ordered, Victor just walks into the kitchen when he sees it Blake paused and tried to step back, but Blake stopped him he heard, and turned to him.

"Oh brother, where are you?"

"I had to go back to the restaurant for something."

"Something important as soon as you broke up your first wedding night?"

Victor looked at him confused and answered him on a level.

"It's none of your business, but if you really want to know, you can ask my wife if she is satisfied with her first wedding night. "

Suddenly the focus of the conversation is on me, while a bite stands in my throat so I just manage to nod as I swallow. My father-in-law saves the thing and gets in the kitchen.

"My children! How wonderful to see this. That your mother is alive to you see this together. Even when the grandchildren come… “My dumpling stops again throat so I try to joke.

"One of us, one of Blake, so you'll fill your days." All three look at me like I insulted them in the worst way so I regret what I said anything.

"Does anyone want coffee, tea?" I pull myself out of this awkward silence, and turn them back as I make coffee wondering what the hell it was now? They sit down all three at the table, so they start talking about work. I serve us coffee and tea so I sit next to Victor and join in

conversation.

"I totally agree old man, Blake will be a great refreshment, there is experience and attitude of the leader. I don't doubt him. ”I hear Victor delighted with the news that Blake was coming to his father-in-law's position as director.

"Then Victor will take over the procurement, and Samantha will start as an assistant

general affairs office because Amy is retiring in two months. Just to get a job and you will become a manager. Does that suit you? ”

The father-in-law looks at me with a smile as he waits for my answer, and I don’t what to contradict it because we have already talked about this.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it!" We shake hands to confirm the deal.

"So, brother, you're coming home. Will you live with us? ”Oh shit! I do that first it occurs to me when I hear Victor's question. He will live with us, work will with us. I'm going crazy!

I’m already crazy now as he looks at me like he’s waiting for my reaction, my opinion.

"Is there a point in looking for an apartment when the house is too big?" I'll do it tomorrow

all over my cell phone, I’ll eventually have to leave for a couple of days and come back back. I hope that my presence will not disturb anyone. "With this with the last sentence, he stares at me again, and hell, it just bothers me that I think normally.

“Who is there to disturb? We're all looking forward to you, aren't we, Samantha? ”

"That's right." I'm lying to Victor, and I'm afraid Blake figured out mine was a lie because he shook his head slightly.

I’m not looking forward to it at all because it’s been bothering me for the third day, without doing anything, just he looks at me like this and upsets me. I feel him concentrating on me, how he studies me and absorbs my face with his gaze. Victor goes upstairs yes he finally changes from his tuxedo, the father-in-law usually goes for a morning walk for a sick heart, and Blake gets up without a word and helps me clean up dishes from the table. I am painfully aware of his closeness which makes it difficult for me to breathe and muddy the brain.

"Are you really looking forward to it, Samantha?" head, and he came even closer to me, slowly lifting my jaw with one finger and making her look him in the eye.

"I'll know if you're lying. Answer me."

"I do not know. I do not know. That's not a lie, Blake. "

"Alright. Then I'll make sure you're looking forward to it. Every day."

She goes upstairs to her room, and I am taken aback again. I have a feeling that many times this man will leave me in that state of confusion and light concerns. Just as I don’t understand myself, I just don’t understand him either.
