"Of course i have to be formal with my doctor. Isn't that what you want? Allen replied."We are not at my work place Allen, you can go ahead and drop the formality""So Samantha, do you really think it was a mistake? You know what I am talking about""Fine Allen, it wasn't a mistake. I did it on impulse. Are you satisfied now""Not quite satisfied, but I'll take what I can get. I don't want you to keep beating yourself up for that. it was just a kiss on the cheek. It's not even a proper kiss, why fretting?"I am not fretting Allen. I went against my principles to do that and now I feel bad, that's all" she said."Really? Principles? Does This principle also apply to me? I thought we now know each other a little more than before" Allen replied."Knowing each other a little more than before makes no difference Allen. I don't want you to see me as being desperate. I want to be In a relationship, but not as bad as you may think""Samantha? Where is all this coming from? What could possibl
Samantha was up and about, getting ready for work. She woke up and walked quietly out of Nancy's room. She didn't want to wake Nancy as she kept her awake almost throughout the night. She made breakfast for both of them, covered Nancy's portion on the table leaving a note that read " Make sure you have breakfast. Don't skip, because I will be watching you, xoxo Sammy " she wrote with a smiley face at the end of it.Samantha looked at the note and smiled, dropped the note on the cover of the breakfast she made for Nancy and left for the clinic.~~~~~~~~~~~~Samantha got to the clinic earlier than her patients. She always felt happy arriving the clinic to see she was earlier at the clinic. She saw Richard on the counter, organising patients files. He didn't see her walk in"Good morning Richard. How was your night?"Samantha? I didn't hear you walk in. I slept fine, but you don't look so good yourself" he replied."I couldn't sleep last night""Why? What kept you up, Nightmare? He asked
ALLEN PULLED SAMANTHA INTO HIM AS HE KISSED HER LIPS. His mouth left her lips and moved to her neck. Samantha could feel the tension between both of them. Allen kissed her neck, then moved to her ear and whispered."Do you want to come in?"I don't think so" she replied."Can I persuade you to come in?"No Allen, I should go" Samantha said, pulling back from Allen.Samantha pulled back fully from Allen, with no expression on her face."Oh, are you regretting so quickly? Really?Samantha smiled, shook her head and said."I am not regretting this kiss, Allen. Infact, it's one of the best kisses I have had In a very long time. I am just glad we did. I am glad I put some certain individual in his place before coming here. Thank you for not turning me away, it would have broken me" she said."I am happy you feel good and it's my pleasure. But this kiss, was it about someone? Or something? Did you get me to kiss you, just to prove a point to someone?Samantha looked, as Allen was trying to
NANCY HAD JOINED HER MOTHER in the ambulance, while Samantha drove behind them. They got to the hospital's entrance, with the ambulance blaring so loud. The medics brought Nancy's mother out from the the ambulance, and they took her inside the emergency room. Samantha and Nancy ran behind them. "Stay back here ladies, we will be with you shortly" a doctor said to them as they took Nancy's mother into the emergency room."What could have happened to her Samantha? What am I going to do. What if something happens to her. I don't think I can live with myself if anything happens to her. I just wish we had come earlier. It's all my fault, I wasted a lot of time to get to her""Don't say that Nancy. It's never your fault, don't forget that. Your mother will be fine, and nothing will happen to her" Samantha said, holding Nancy's hand.They both held hands, waiting for the doctors to come back to them. After what felt like forever, a doctor walked out of the emergency room, heading to Samanth
NANCY AND SAMANTHA WERE READY to see Nancy's mother. They walked into her recovery room to see he sleeping. They both stood, watching over her."Do you think she will come out of this unhurt? What if something is damaged inside of her because of the drugs? What will I do Samantha?"Look Nancy, she is waking up! Samantha said, whispering."Nancy? Is that you? Her mother asked."It's me mom. How are you feeling mom?"I feel like a train walked all over me! My whole body aches so bad! She said."You should be fine in no time mom, don't worry so much" Samantha said.Nancy looked at Samantha and she was visibly angry."Fine in no time? What are you talking about Samantha, didn't you hear what the doctor said? Some organs in her body may have been damaged! So nothing is going to be fine, ever!"Stop it Nancy, you are upsetting your mother. Let's go talk outside" Samantha said, pointing to the door.They both walked outside the hospital room."You shouldn't say things like that in front of h
"Your father? Are you sure? Allen asked."I am very sure Allen. Although he changes his voice to trick me sometimes, but I am very sure that's my father""What do I do, should I stay and say hello to him? Allen asked, looking confused. Samantha gasped."Are you crazy? You can't say hello to my father now. He is the most strict man I know. He is definitely going to make a big deal out of seeing you in here""Really? Then what do you want me to do? Allen asked, seemingly afraid of the man Samantha talks about."You need to hide quickly! Samantha said, pulling Allen by the hand, leading him to her room."Hide? Are you being serious? Can't we just tell him that I am a friend or something?"No Allen, my father will know it's not true. He has this way of finding out the truth about things and it scares the crap out of me most times, so no, we can't go with your idea, hiding is the only option right now"In Samantha's room, Allen looked at Samantha, smiling."Why are you smiling, this is no
"You see, when Kay and I had a falling out in our relationship, my father saw how hurt I was. He confronted Kay and almost did the unthinkable. I am glad he was stopped before it got out of hand. I had to tell my father to stay away from my relationships. I didn't want him to know about any relationship I had, because it gets ugly whenever I broke up. He tries to confront everyone of them , and I couldn't take it anymore; I had to leave home" Samantha said.Allen looked at her keenly, studying her eyes. Samantha turned to see Allen looking at her, and smiled."It must have been so overbearing to be the daughter of a retired general. Was that the reason you needed me to hide from your father?"Yes, that's the reason I needed you to hide,Allen. I couldn't take it if he finds out about you. I am sorry for all of this once again. How can I make it up to you" Samantha asked.Allen moved closer to Samantha, smiled at her and she smiled back. He puckered his lips slightly as he got closer to
Samantha walked into her house, moved straight to Nancy's room to see her sitting on her bed, looking depressed. "Nancy? Why are you sitting like that? You are beginning to scare me you know that right?Nancy looked at Samantha and smiled."Has your father gone? She asked.Samantha shook her head, before sitting close to Nancy, so she could narate what happened outside to her."Can you believe my father pretended to have left after I bade him farewell?Nancy's eyes became wider with shock."What! She screamed."Yes Nancy, he was outside, waiting for Allen to come out. He had gone into my room to survey for a man like he always does, but when he couldn't find anyone, he left. I was overjoyed that my attempt to hide Allen worked. My joy was cut short when we stepped outside the house to see him there, looking like he was on duty, looking for evidence! It's so crazy, Nancy"Nancy was now smiling like she meant it, and that gave Samantha some sense of relief. She sometimes didn't know ho
