SILENCE ENVELOPED THE CAR. Samantha screamed Nancy's name in the phone, even though she knew that the call had ended. "Allen, Nancy said she didn't want to do this anymore, I am afraid she is going to do something drastic. We have to look for her, Please help me" she pleaded, almost in tears.Allen looked at Samantha and his heart broke. Samantha never begs for anything, but she was begging him to help find her friend. Allen wanted to say something, but someone knocked on the car window, then he rolled down the window. "Kingston? what are you doing here? shouldn't you be at the restaurant?"No, Allen..Nancy is my girlfriend, I should be looking for her too. What kind of a boyfriend will I be, if I let you two look for her alone. This might sound creepy to Samantha, but I put a car tracking device under her car. I put it, you know, just incase of emergency. Follow behind me, I will drive to the destination, where the tracking device leads me" Kingston said, walking to his car. Allen
THE DRIVE HOME WAS A QUIET ONE. Samantha thought about saying something to maybe make Nancy feel good and ease the quietness, but she knew it won't work, so she decided to stay quiet. In few minutes, they were home. Nancy stretched out her hand to Samantha from the back seat and she handed her the keys to the house. She stepped out of the car, still not saying anything. She walked Into the house, closing the door behind her.Samantha was still seated in the car with Allen. She waited for him to park her car in her driveway. Allen parked the car, and Samantha turned to him. "Thank you, Allen" She said."For what exactly, baby Doll?""Nothing. Just being here alone with me. I can see how much I miss being with you. I know you have been trying to make me see that, but I see it now. We're very good in working together. I missed you, and I will see you later" Samantha said, before running out of the car feeling embarrassed. Allen was glad to hear Samantha admit that she missed him. He st
Nancy pulled back and looked at Samantha's face.."I can't believe I almost left this world with you in it. How would you have survived in this heartless world without me, Sammy" she said. "Oh, so you knew this information and still decided to take your mother to a bridge to end it all? I know you are crazy, Nancy. But today, I get to know, that you are more crazy than crazy! Nancy sat down and Samantha joined her. "Sammy, remember one time I spoke with Kay? He said something to me and I promised to tell you? Nancy asked. Samantha looked up and tried to remember. She remembered."Yes, I remember. That day, Kay said something and your mood changed. I noticed and asked, but you said that you will tell me at your own time" "Yes Sammy. That time is now and I am ready to tell you. When you and Kay were still in a relationship, I made him take out a loan for me. It was from loan sharks. I thought I was going to pay off before anyone noticed, but it was getting difficult for me to pay u
Samantha walked to the kitchen, and she put down the plate Nancy used to eat. She washed her hands and walked to her room. She picked up her phone and dialled Allen's number, and he picked on first ring."Allen, I am ready for whatever we have to do tonight. I am mad, Allen. I am so mad right now. I just don't want to sit around here doing nothing, when those two people are still roaming the streets. Especially Kay, he really did a number on Nancy. My spirit, soul and body is very angry! Samantha said."Baby Doll? what is it, and why are you so angry. Is it because of Nancy? Has she told you why she did that?Samantha breath out, loudly. "Allen, it's not something we should discuss on phone. I want us to go to Rose's house like we planned to""Sammy , calm down. You don't want to go Into a battle ground, while you are this angry. We will go tomorrow. I don't know what's making you angry, but I want you to channel your energy into something else. Being angry at people drains your ener
SAMANTHA SHOWED ALLEN HER PHONE,THEN HE WALKED OVER TO HER. He looked at her phone and told her to answer it."Put it on loudspeaker" he said. She nodded, then answered the call, putting it on loudspeaker."Hello, Kay..Why are you calling me?" she said. "Hey my sweet. Is this how you talk to me? I thought we made up, after you came to my house the last time, or are we still fighting? he asked.Samantha rolled her eyes."Kay, the fact that I came to your house, to ask for Rose's address doesn't mean we are back together or that we have made up. Our relationship still stands the way it has always been. You are Kay and I am Samantha. We used to know each other, but we will never be in a relationship again, ever. So you better start telling me why you called, or I end this call now" she said bluntly."Ouch! that really hurts, hearing you be so blunt with me. When did you become so blunt with your words. You used to be so soft spoken and gentle. Now you are all about acting like a liones
Samantha laughed. "Oh, I am not crying. I guess my body was reacting to the pain you feel, and a tear just fell out unknowingly"Allen moved closer to her. He couldn't resist her whenever she was close to him like this. He made a mark in his head, to always keep her at arms length whenever they were on a mission. She won't let him concentrate, if she was this close to him. "Thank you for not crying, Baby. I don't like it when you are so close to me like this. Well I love it, but sometimes I don't. You are such a big distraction to me. A sweet succulent distraction, and I can't easily resist" Allen said, still moving closer to her. Samantha smiled at him. She could see in his eyes, how much Allen wanted her. She was on his body in seconds, and he gladly caught her, holding her waist to him. He made her sit on his laps comfortably. Allen's laps was one of the most comfortable places Samantha has ever sat on. She felt right sitting on him. She didn't want to get up from him, ever. She
Kingston, you don't know how grateful and relieved I feel to hear you say that. I am truely sorry for what my mother did yesterday. It won't happen, ever again I promise" Kingston reached out to hold both her hands."You don't need to say that, Nancy. Your mother wouldn't have done that, if she wasn't in dire need. You shouldn't....; Nancy cut him off."Can we please stop talking about my mother? I get upset talking about her. Now that she no longer have me as a daughter, I want to be free from her. I want her to come to her senses" "But Nancy, isn't too much, cutting her off like that? . I think.........""No, Kingston. I said no more talks about my mother. How's the restaurant doing. I know it isn't the same without there" she said, trying to change the subject. "The restaurant is fine. I have other capable chefs who can fill in my position until I return, so you don't need to worry about the restaurant" he said.Kingston opened his arm to her for a hug. Nancy was hesitant a lit
Allen looked Samantha in the eyes. "Remember, don't panic Doll. I will get us out of here. Do you trust me? he asked, still looking at her. Samantha turned to him."You know I trust you, Allen" she said. "Now hold on to the steering wheel. I need to step out of the car real quick" "What! I can't let you do that, Allen. Stepping out of the car will have us falling down this cliff! so please don't leave the car" Samantha said with a shaky voice.."Baby Doll, I want you to trust me on this. I need to go to the back of the car, push the car a little forward, so we can be out of danger. You can do this, I know you can. Now hold on to the steering wheel" he said again.Samantha reluctantly held on to the steering wheel, but was visibly scared. She didn't want to voice out to Allen, how scared she was. He wouldn't let her go with him next time if he knew. "Hold on to it tightly. Doll, do not let go, I repeat do not let go. Do you understand? Samantha nodded. Allen stepped out of the c
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
