SamanthaThat little interaction served to dispel any remaining awkwardness between the two of us. We managed to keep it mild until we reached my house, where a large box on the porch reminded me of the favor I needed to ask him." Can you help me with something? " I asked before getting out of the car.He followed me curiously to the porch, I unlocked the door and pointed to the unopened box that was still there. I had received this package in the morning, but had not dared to move it when I realized how heavy it was." Can you take this upstairs for me? " I asked.He didn't think twice before stooping down, picking up the box and carrying it into the house, and then climbing the stairs. I followed him, showing him where he could put it, and sat down on the floor to open it." This is heavy, what did you buy? " Theon asked, standing beside me." A toolbox," I explained.That took him by surprise. He stooped down beside me, looking at everything in the box." Sam, why do you need a to
Theon" Really, Sam, you need to ask Iris to show you these pictures," Harper confided, drawing even more laughter from the other woman. Callie was so angry." Did you really freak out, Apollo?" Sam asked with a smile on her face, "I didn't know you were the type to be afraid of the public.”We were sitting on the floor of the empty room, eating some egg tarts that Harper had brought with the Chinese food. In the end, she helped me carry the disassembled furniture down to the basement, and seemed more at ease in the presence of the mother of my son." I didn't freak out, Samantha. I was six years old and I had a fight with my sister," I explained, "and my mother might as well burn those pictures!”" You'd better take advantage of that before he disappears, Sam," Harper whispered as I rolled my eyes." Damn right, I'll make a copy just to show the baby," she scoffed, "if you know of any more embarrassing pictures of him, you should tell me.”" Ohhh there is one, he was about fourteen y
Theon I walked into the ballet studio expecting to find the girls still rehearsing, but it seemed that class had ended early. Sam was standing alone, sideways to me, concentrating on an old song that was beginning to play. She was dressed in an 80's gym outfit. A low-cut black swimsuit, pink gaiters, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. She looked beautiful and incredibly sexy dressed like that, even though her body was beginning to change due to the pregnancy. In fact, I considered her more and more beautiful as the pregnancy progressed, and my affection for the mother of my son increased with every moment beside her, to the point of making me question if this was even a good and healthy thing, given our situation. She spun around, turning to the mirror, starting a sort of run that she soon interrupted, startled to notice my presence, she turned toward me with wide eyes. " Apollo, I didn't expect to see you here!” " Don't stop, I want to see it," I ordered as I approach
Theon I made my way to the bedroom only to find it empty. I went downstairs in search of the mother of my son, and saw her pacing back and forth in the kitchen, being closely followed by pancake, who was barking effusively at her legs. " What are you doing? " I questioned as I reached the room. The kitchen counter was full of ingredients, and she was busy chopping some tomatoes. " Sorry, I overheard your conversation with Harper and decided to make dinner. She won't make it in this rain, will she? " Sam smiled at me. " Well, no... But you didn't have to worry about cooking.” I didn't even know she cooked! " Don't be silly, I can do it without any problem," she smiled, "actually my father called me earlier and made me want Chilli, and luckily I have everything at home.” " Chilli? " I frowned as I saw the separate pots and the washed beans. " My grandmother makes the best Chilli con carne I've ever had," she explained. " And you are making your grandmother's Chilli? " I aske
SamanthaThe storm continued to rage outside as I stared up at the ceiling of my room that was occasionally lit by lightning. I felt physically exhausted, but I still couldn't force my mind to shut down after everything that had happened today.I hated my feelings for Theon. He could make me feel good for having him around, and guilty for being in love with the father of my child. This was not how it was supposed to happen.I got up after a few hours of rolling around in bed and walked to the baby's room, looking at the walls painted in a light pastel shade. Everything had turned out so beautiful, I couldn't wait to meet him. I walked carefully down the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a small bottle of water from the fridge before going back upstairs. I stopped by the ajar door of the guest room that Theon occupied and stood there for a while, watching his sleep.He had a peaceful expression, ignoring the storm that's raging outside the house, and I felt the baby move softly inside
Samantha Why are they here? As hard as I tried to ignore their gaze on me, it was an impossible task, but I needed to pull myself together. The girls needed me, and if I didn't reassure them, who would?This encouraged me to finish the remaining minutes of the song without throwing up in the middle of the performance. As soon as the curtains closed after our thanks, I ran to the dressing room without even waiting for the girls. I wanted to disappear, but the blame for that situation was only mine. How can I take care of a child if I don't even have the courage to tell my parents about him?" I'll be a terrible mother," I groaned in disgust, sitting down on the locker room bench anyway.My only wish at the moment was to be alone there and prepare myself for what awaited me with my parents, but a stream of little dancers excited by the success of their performance prevented that.I quickly wiped away the tears that were streaming down my face without even realizing it, forcing a smile
Samantha I stared at that statement. They doesn't want to go to Adamos house, do they?" Excuse-me, What? " I stammered." I want to meet the father of my grandson," he explained, "Your mother and I will change at the hotel, and come back here to pick up you and the Green girl.”" Dad, I can't bring guests to a lunch where I've already been invited," I tried to argue, following them to the door, "it would be rude!”" See Carl, and we thought the etiquette classes were a total waste of money," my mother sighed with false pride." You're right, it would be impolite, but the man invited us," my father reassured me, "by the way, it would be rude of him not to invite his own son's grandparents!”I felt a wave of panic start to wash over me. They can't come today! Not when all his family and friends will be there!" But... " I couldn't think of any other way to avoid that meeting." Samantha, let's put it this way. Either we meet him today, or we meet him at another time, without your sup
Theon " What did you say? " Sam asked, while I still watched her, stuck on the information her father had leaked earlier. Why was she crying, saying she was going through this alone? I have done my best to be there for her and help her in every detail. I know that our situation is not the best, especially with my newfound feelings for her, but I have been trying hard! " Sam, you're going to need help, we're not going to let you go through this alone anymore," her father declared once again, irritating me. " But she's not alone, I'm with her," I decided to speak up, "we're in this together, right, Sam?” " Yes, of course! Theon is right " she hurried to say " I know you worry, but…” " Samantha, even if he is willing to participate, and we are glad that he is, you have no idea how hard this is going to be " Selena explained. " Children are exhausting," my grandmother spoke up, although I wish she were somewhere else. I frowned trying to understand why Sam didn't want her parents t
