A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 13 - I am asking for respect, not protection
Samantha An uneasy silence filled the vehicle, and I was often watched by Calliope and her brother through the rearview mirror, but I promptly ignored them. I couldn't wait to get to my new home and get rid of them both. As the road became steeper and surrounded by those big rocky mountains, I began to feel the effects of the altitude, and the fact that the road was so winding was not helping my discomfort. I tried to restrain myself as best I could, but the second time I squatted down on the bench to get a little more comfortable, I felt Theon's gaze on me. " Samantha, are you all right? " he asked worriedly, finally breaking the silence that had settled over the room. " Yes, I am," I tried to keep my voice steady, "just…” " Just? " he insisted anxiously. " I think I need some air," I explained, closing my eyes and breathing deeply, under the watchful eyes of the two brothers. " In a few miles there is a lookout, I can stop there," he explained. " Can you handle it? " Calliope

" I'll take you home," he commented, putting us back in motion while watching me through the rearview mirror. " Thanks, is it far away? " I let my guard down a little, feeling a little better just being in his company. " No, we'll be there soon," he assured me, falling silent again. Will my son's father and I ever be able to have a natural conversation? A short while later, he parked in front of a charming little white wooden house. I recognized it from the pictures he had sent me, but it looked bigger now that I was here. I got out of the car, feeling the cold breeze envelop me, and walked through the white picket fence with my heart racing in my chest. " Did you like it? " Theon asked, walking beside me as I climbed the balcony steps that would take me to the front door. " It's beautiful," I replied, waiting for him to unlock the door. " I was looking for a house that would have enough room for you and the baby. " You know we're only going to have one baby,
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 15 - You can't treat her like that
Theon I left Samantha's house after loading her luggage without any doubts about my destination. I tried not to make things worse in her presence, But I wouldn't let it all go so easy.. A few minutes later I was ringing the doorbell of Adam's house. " Theon... Did you forget something with Callie? " My friend asked, surprised by my presence. I made my way to the kitchen, which was the only room with the lights on. Callie was sitting on the countertop, holding a glass of wine, at ease in her boyfriend's house. " Theon, what…” " We have some business to take care of, come on," I cut her off, crossing my arms, hoping that she would make my life easier. " Theon, what happened? " Adam stopped beside me, alternating his gaze between his girlfriend and me. Callie sighed, not looking very willing to follow me. " Theon, can we talk tomorrow?” " Callie, we're going to fix this now, even if I have to throw you over my shoulder and take you home," I warned. " Wow, easy there Theon. If sh
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 16 - Just give her a chance
Theon I left my mother's house and went to the restaurant to get something for dinner. I had already ordered Samantha's dinner earlier, but had forgotten to order something for myself. My original plan was just to get the food and go home, but luckily for me, Helen Ronald was there, waiting for a table for dinner. " Good evening Mrs. Ronald " I greeted her. " Ahh Mr. Adamos, good evening " she smiled in reply " how are you?” " Well, are you alone? I have a matter I would like to discuss with you," I decided to be direct, drawing the woman's attention, who frowned. " Oh yes, I'm alone. I just decided to eat something different today," she answered confused, "what do you need, young man?” " I'll buy you dinner and we'll talk, what do you say? " I smiled, indicating a table that had just wandered into the hall. I helped the old lady get settled while my mind worked on everything I would say to convince her to hire Samantha. It would not be easy, but I would have to persuade her t
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 17 - everything is going fine
A few minutes later, I left home, walking to Samantha's house to introduce her to the city. I walked the few blocks that separated our houses, and soon I was ringing her doorbell.She answered the door wearing jeans, a black sweater, and her hair in a ponytail with a few loose strands falling over her face. She had a sheen of sweat on her forehead, revealing that she was working hard at something. " Hi Apollo, I thought you were coming later," she smiled. "I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" I questioned a bit gracelessly. Samantha opened the way for me to enter the house, and I soon found out what caused her fatigue. All the suitcases and boxes I bought yesterday were open in the middle of the living room and most of them were already empty. " I hope you're not carrying any weight," I commented with concern. " Don't worry, we're fine," she reassured me. I walked through the boxes, looking at the contents of each one, identifying which one would weigh the most. " I'll help
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 18 - time to talk
Theon " You're squeezing my belly," Sam gasped as she parted her lips a little, causing me to come to my senses. " I'm sorry," I ordered before releasing her. She walked away to where she had left her shoes, putting them on while avoiding any kind of eye contact with me. And as for me, what was I thinking? This kind of thing can't happen, we don't have the right to act this way anymore. Soon we will have a child in the middle of all this and we can't spoil things. Despite my clear attraction to Samantha, I had no feelings for her, and going down that road would be a mistake. " I think we'd better go," she asked, "I'm hungry and I wanted to buy some things at the market before going home.” " Of course, yes," I agreed, feeling a little dazed, "come on, I'll show you where the nearest market is.” We both walked in an uncomfortable silence, so different from how we were before. It was more than obvious that we needed to talk about this, but I couldn't think of any sensible way to s
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 19 - an unexpected visit
Samantha I closed the door after saying goodbye to Theon, placing the shopping bags on the floor and leaning my forehead against the wood before taking a deep breath. What was that all about? Have I gone insane!? This morning I told Harper not to worry about me because I wouldn't interfere in her relationship, and a few hours later I kissed her boyfriend!? What is your problem, Samantha? Of course the kiss wouldn't have happened if he hadn't wanted it to, but it was like he said. Just the heat of the moment. Yes, I need to get it out of my mind, it is not right, I cannot allow my heart to go that way. But that kiss was so good. What does that mean? " It means that the guy has a good kiss," I said to myself out loud, leaning away from the door and walking to the kitchen after picking up the bags from the floor, "you knew that all along, Samantha, you kissed him dozens of times!” Yes, and that wasn't the only thing he did well, that I know for sure. Harper is a lucky woman. " T
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 20 - welcome to the first day
Samantha The next few days passed quickly, Delphine returned the next day, and the day after that. She helped me buy the things I needed to start school, and asked numerous questions about my life. I didn't meet Theon again that week, packed up everything and could finally feel at home. On Monday, I woke up early, had breakfast and thought about what that class would be like. I would only work in the afternoon, so I used the morning to get everything ready. I entered the school feeling a little lost. I hated firsts days. " Do you need help? " the girl from the office approached me. I looked at her, she was a black woman, with delicate features, sweet eyes, very short dark hair, and an infectious smile. A beautiful girl, if she could dance and we were in Vegas, Elle would recruit her without a second thought. " I guess so " I smiled " it's my first day, and I don't know what to do.” " My name is Dominic Carter " she introduced herself " anything you need, you can talk to me.”
