"Mom! what are you talking about! what do you mean my father cannot speak! Her mother walked to her,l and held her hands."Samantha, I know this is going to be hard for you to take in, but your father had partial body stroke"Samantha couldn't believe her ears. Her father had stroke and no one told her? "What! mom, you two are pulling my legs right? please don't tell me it's true" She said, looking at her mother and father."I am sorry, Samantha. We couldn't tell you because your father wanted us to keep it from you. He didn't want you to worry. Come, let us go in" her mother said, pulling Samantha's arm, but she gently slapped off her hand ."Let me go!! she screamed with rage. "I can't believe you two! So you decide to keep this from me because father said so? when did you start obeying father's every word, Ehh mom! Samantha yelled, stepping back. "Samantha, I am sorry!"No mom! you are not sorry at all! you are only sorry because I came here unannounced. I spoke to you yesterda
Allen let Samantha's mother pull him into the house. He was grateful to her, for coming at the right time because he didn't want to leave. Her mother coming to pull him into the house was a perfect excuse. As he walked into the living room, Allen saw Samantha's father, and was shocked. He turned to look at Samantha and she shook her head. So this was the reason for her sadness. He knew it, he knew something definitely happened to her father. This didn't look like he just had dislocation, it was something more, and Allen felt sad for her. Her mother beckoned on Allen to have a seat. Allen took a seat, one that was very close to her father."Welcome to our humble abode, Allen. Let me get you something to drink" her mother said, before dashing off to the kitchen.Samantha sat on the left hand side of her father, while Allen was sitted on his right hand side. She looked into her father's eyes and could see the questions in them. If he was hale and hearty, Samantha knew he was going to pou
Allen was driving as fast as he could. The thought of his sister and his niece, being at the mercy of those urchins made him furious and drove him crazy. Allen could hear his photo ringing, he looked at it to see it was Samantha calling. "Sorry I can't take your call now, baby Doll" he said to himself, ignoring her call.After a fifteen minutes drive, Allen arrived at his sister's house. He jumped out the car, without putting the engine off. He ran to her front door and it was locked. He knocked on the door, aggressively."Juanita! Juanita!! open the door!! it's me, Allen!! open us!! he kept screaming. Allen knocked for some time and was contemplating breaking the door open, when he heard a car pull up behind him, in front of the house. He turned to see it was his sister. He ran to them. He got to her car, opened the door and brought her out. He hugged her so tight that she was out of breath. They were not at home when they guys came looking for them, and Allen was grateful for th
Allen knew, that his sister could sometimes read him like a paper. He tried to keep his expression worry free, so she wouldn't figure anything out. "Nothing is wrong, Juanita. Why do you always think that something is wrong, whenever I suggest something good" he said, trying to avoid her gaze.Juanita shrugged and walked into her room. Allen called Darla, to come sit beside him. She ran to him quickly, smiling and sat down close to him."Darla? I want you to take good care of mom. Make sure that you two stay on vacation for a month. I know she may want to come back after one or two weeks, but make sure you insist on completing the vacation, do you understand? And remember to call me if she insists on coming back""I will, uncle Allen. I will make sure we stay on vacation for a month. I can't wait to have fun and tell you and my Friends about all the fun I will have" She said, then ran inside to her mother.Allen watched Darla leave and smiled. She was the smartest Ten year old he ha
Allen, Juanita and Darla were in the car, on their way to the airport. As Allen drove, he was always looking behind, through the rearview mirror, to be sure no one was following them. They got to the airport and Allen brought out their bags, taking them into the airport. He found a sit, told Juanita and Darla to sit while he go pay for their tickets. "Sit tight, I'll be back in a second" he said to them. Allen walked to the ticketing stands, paid for their tickets and was back in few minutes. As he was walking to where he left them, he couldn't see Juanita and Darla. He ran to where he left them as fear gripped his body. "Oh my God, oh no! Oh God, where are they" he said, under his breath. He walked to people, who were seated beside Juanita and Darla. He asked them if they had seen a woman and a child of about ten year old leave here. The other passengers didn't know where they went, so they just shrugged, and some shook her head. Allen put both hands on his head. He was becoming
Samantha touched her father's hand, tapping him so he could stop blinking, but he didn't. She and her mother held each of his hands, screaming. "Mom, please stay calm. I think dad is having a seizure. It should resolve in a few minutes. Let him go. We should let him sit through it" Samantha said, leaving her father's hand, but her mother refused to let him go.She touched her mother by the shoulder."Mom? you need to let dad go, he is having a seizure and we need to let his hand go. He should be find in few minutes, please mom" Her mother gently left his hand, looking into her husband's eyes as he kept blinking them. She had tears In her eyes that were waiting to fall. She turned to Samantha and they hugged each other. "I Shouldn't have asked him any questions, maybe that triggered this, it's my fault, Sammy" She said, sobbing. "No mom, it's definitely not your fault. it was just a coincidence, so stop blaming yourself" Her mother raised her head and stepped back to look at Saman
The doctor was seated, raised her eyes to Look at Samantha. "Please have a seat, miss Samantha it doesn't work that way. We need to carry out various tests, to determine whether your father can withstand.....; "I know all of that doctor, I know all of this, but it's just so unfair. My dad is the most selfless man I have ever known. Why did this have to happen to him. Why does it have to be him, why!! Samantha said, falling back to her seat. Samantha looked at the doctor as she explained things to her. She was now fully back to herself and listened to the doctor, word for word. After the doctor had explained things to her, she walked out of the doctor's office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Samantha Walked out to see her mother, reading a book to her father. She couldn't take the pain and sadness anymore. Her heart felt so heavy in her chest. She turned and ran to the hospital's toilet. She sat on the toilet seat cover and cried. Samantha didn't know what pain and sadness was, until now. She c
"Oh hey, Sammy. Why push me so hard, I almost fell! Kay said, smiling mischievously."I don't care if you fall, Kay. I said, what are you doing here! Get out of here this minute! She said.Kay tried to walk close to her, but Samantha stepped back."Oh, so now you are scared of me? he asked."Look here Kay, don't flatter yourself. Why should I be scared of you. If for anything, you should be scared of me. You think I don't scheme? oh you lie. I am a scheming bitch Kay. You just haven't seen me do it. Let me tell you something you don't know. You see my parents over there? They are everything to me. They mean the World to me and if you so much as step foot close to them, I swear with my life, I will kill you" Kay's eyes widened with shock. He looked at Samantha with eyes wide open. He didn't know who she was anymore. He didn't know this woman standing In front of him. She was fierce and competitive. He liked it and smiled, evily."Wow! I like this side of you, Samantha. Fierce, challen
Two weeks after the explosion at the warehouse, Allen left the state. His supervisor had advised him to leave. He had been nursing his injuries from the explosion. They barely escaped. Fragment of an iron had pierced Into his back, making it hard to use his hands properly. Kingston was unhurt. He had told Allen, that Nancy was using him. She had made him fall In love with her, just to get information about Allen. He was hurt, but he was lucky to be alive. Allen came out of the hotel's veranda, he saw the city of Las Vegas and pedestrians walking about. He breathe in the fresh air and closed his eyes. With his eyes closed, he felt a soft hand, hold him from behind. "The night is so cold, but I think I like it" he said. "Like it or not, you must take me to dinner" Samantha replied, with her head rested on his back. Allen turned to face her. He held her face with both hands. "How are you feeling, baby Doll? Is there anything you want me to do for you? are you hungry? He asked. Sama
Allen walked out of his house, to Samantha's house. He got there to see Kingston, already waiting for him outside. "Kingston, what note did you see? Allen asked. Kingston handed the note to Allen. "Meet me at this address, and you will see all I have been talking" the note said. Allen raised his head to look at Kingston. "Who do you think left this note? he asked. "I have no idea, Allen. Do you think it's.........."Allen cut him off. "No, I don't think it's Nancy. It's not possible. Samantha has been through so much already. It definitely cannot be Nancy. She knows what Samantha has been going through, so no. I don't think it's her. But i need to go to this address. I need to see who it is" "You really have to be careful, Allen. The drug addicts and dealers are out to get you. Watch your back always and stay safe" Kingston said. "Kingston? Please watch my house, while I go check this place out. I need to know why this person wants to see Samantha. If there's danger there, I
Richard raised the surgical blade to his head, laughing. He looked at the police officers, then he turned back to Allen."Sorry, Allen. I can't be in a world where there is no Samantha. I can't be in a world where she has to be with another man. She was supposed to be mine. Now I can't even have her. I either go to jail and spend the rest of my life there, or I can go to eternity, where there will be no jail. Tell Samantha, that she was and will always be the best woman i ever saw In this life" Richard said, before he stabbed himself in the neck, laughing. The forced of the surgical blade on the Richard's neck, splashed blood on Allen's face. Allen ran to Richard, as he fell to the floor. He kept on laughing. "Put pressure on his neck!! the detective yelled. Allen was on his knees beside Richard. "Call the paramedics!! The detective yelled, but Allen turned to him, with his hand still on Richard's neck.."I don't think that will be necessary. He is gone" he said. The detective cu
Samantha covered her mouth with both hands, while she hid from Kris. "Who pulled her in like that. who Was she meeting and why was the meeting a secret." she thought.Samantha could hear inaudible voices from where she hid beside a building. She brought out her phone, put on the camera and waited. After few seconds, she saw Kris come out of the corner she was yanked into. Then the person she was meeting, followed. Samantha's eyes widened with shock..It was Richard! She yelled in her head. *Why was Kris meeting Richard? what business do they have together? these questions was in her head and Samantha won't leave until she finds answers to them. There and then, Samantha remembered what Richard had said to her on the phone. She remembered the threat he made. It all came back to her. Was Richard planning something with Kris? Samantha was still hiding. She took pictures silently. She needed evidence for whatever it is that Richard and Kris was planning, she needed to know, so she could a
ALLEN AND SAMANTHA HAD FINISHED washing up In the bathroom. He carried her, walked to the bed and put her down. He covered her with a blanket and turned to leave, but Samantha held his hand. "Don't leave.......I don't want to be alone, please? she said. "Baby Doll, didn't you say a while ago, you don't want us to live like a married couple? have you changed your mind? he asked, teasing. "I know what I said, Allen. Are you coming to lay with me or not.. You can leave if you don't.........."Before she could finish her sentence, Allen was on the bed. He raised the blanket up and slid Into to the bed. Samantha turned her back to him, and he grabbed her waist from behind, resting his head on her back. They didn't know when sleep came over and they caved in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ALLEN WAS SNUGGLING SAMANTHA'S BACK. Someone was knocking, but he didn't want to wake up. He wished that the person knocking will just go away, but it didn't happen. Whoever it was, kept on knocking. Allen Looked at th
It was past 7:00pm, when Samantha changed into her night wear and her socks. She climbed under the bed covers, and applauded herself, for her maturity, and her ability to put the demands of others before her own. She had accepted Kris because of Allen, because she was in trouble. Being abused by her ex, must have tugged at Samantha's heart and she couldn't send her away. That will be heartless, she thought.Allen and Samantha had decided that he would sleep in the living room and she would take the bed. She didn't want them to live like couples, when they were not married yet. Her father would have had a fit, if he heard she was staying in Allen's house. She laid on the bed, and closed her eyes. She imagined herself in Allen's arms. She was having the same imaginations that Allen had. She was trying to put the imagination out of her mind, but her body has needs. Her body was making demand, but she was trying to put it away. Samantha drifted off to sleep, pleased with herself.She was
KRIS DIDN'T SAY A WORD to Richard. he was furious. "Didn't you hear me! I asked, if they bought your story, because I know Samantha. She will never turn down a stranded woman, or man. She is so soft like that. Now tell me, did your ex boyfriend believe you? he asked.Kris tried to break free from Richard's hold on her arm. Surprisingly, he let her go himself. He smiled a cocky smile..Kris was rubbing her arm out of pain, then she looked up at him."They bought my story alright, especially Allen. He used to adore me. So there's no way he wouldn't have believed me. As for his girlfriend, I don't know if she believes me, but she offered to give up her room for me. She don't want me staying at Allen's house" she said.Richard looked at Kris. He almost slapped her, but held his hand mid air. "I wish I could just twist that stupid mouth of yours. That was never our agreement! I told you to make sure, that you stayed at Allen's house. The bargain didn't involve you staying in Samantha's ho
Allen ran pass Kris, and was in front of Samantha's house."Doll! Sammy!! open the door!!! it's not what you think, please, open the door! He said, knocking so hard.Samantha stood behind her door, hearing Allen knock. "What am I even doing here. Why should I run. I should be getting an explanation from him, instead of hiding here. I didn't do anything wrong did I? she said to herself, before she opened the door.Samantha saw Allen standing there. He looked so tired. She walked to him and cupped his face with both hands."Allen? did I misunderstand the scene I just saw? Just say yes, and I will trust you and believe you" She said, smiling. Allen was surprised. He didn't expect her to speak to him so quietly and calmly. He expected her to flare up and scream, like most girls do. He was still thinking, but he came back to his senses and answered her question. "Of course Baby Doll! you totally misunderstood that! please trust me" Samantha put her hands down from his face, still smili
HEARING ROSE SAY, that her father deserved to sit in a wheelchair tugged at Samantha's heart. Allen saw how furious she was. "I am so pissed! I can't believe she would say something like that" Samantha said, almost in tears. Allen touched her hand as he drove. After few minutes, he was in front of her house. Somehow, Rose's comment about her dad had pierced Samantha's thick skin, that had always kept her tough. She shoved a hand through her hair, still sitted in Allen's car. "Allen, I don't want to be at the mercy of Kay and Rose anymore. We need to do something about them, before I do something that I will regret" She said. Allen turned to her. "Sammy, I don't want you to do anything. Do you hear me? do nothing. I will figure this out as soon as possible. Head into your house, I'll call you later" He said. Samantha looked at Allen, then she looked away. "Go on, Doll" he said.Samantha nodded and stepped out of the car. She walked to the front of her house, opened the door and
