Samantha Theon dropped me off in my room before heading to his own. I took a deep breath, reaching into my suitcase for my pajamas, and I'd already changed and brushed my teeth when a small knock on the door leading to his room sounded.I followed there, finding Theon standing there watching me, also already in his pajamas and with the ends of his hair slightly damp." Hi... " I tried not to stare at him." Hi, I came to tell you that I got a flight for tomorrow at eight o'clock," he returned." You decided to leave so early," I teased him." I'd rather not be on my grandmother's honeymoon," he replied with a half smile on his face.I couldn't help but smile back. Theon looked agitated and I couldn't blame him; the day had been full of surprises. I sidestepped him, entering his room and going to the window just to watch the view, while he followed my every move with curiosity." Have you talked to your mother yet? " I questioned, turning to him.Theon had grabbed two bottles of orang
Theon" So, will you tell me what happened on that trip? " Lara asked, as we walked down the aisles of the supermarket.It was almost Christmas Eve and both of us had been responsible for buying everything needed for the celebration." I thought that had already become clear," I muttered grumpily, "Delphine decided to relive an old love and dragged us into this madness. “I knew that wasn't what Lara was interested in, but I didn't want to touch on the subject that had me so unsettled over the last few days. My bad mood was noticeable after the whole situation with Sam. I had been avoiding her, not visiting her at the studio anymore, and was content to get news of her condition from my sister, especially after finding her in town with Mike the day after we returned.I felt terrible about the whole thing. I liked her and hoped that we could get back together after what happened between us, but her reaction the next day showed otherwise. Samantha seemed willing to just forget about wha
Theon " Mama, why don't you let me make this tea? " my mother questioned my grandmother a few hours later as we gathered in the kitchen waiting for the guests to arrive." The tea is for my husband and I will make it," she declared stubbornly. " But I can…”" And I can pour hot water on you! " she returned.It seems that marrying the love of her life has done nothing to improve her mood. My mother gave up on her and left her there before she went to check on the ham that was in the oven." Theon, can you stay with Daphne for a while?" Lara came into the kitchen, holding the little girl out to me " Liny can apparently die if she watches her for five minutes.”My younger sister, who had arrived earlier, came soon after, following her with a calm expression on her face, already dressed for the celebration.She was wearing a short brown skirt, high heels, and a burgundy sweater, matching her bright lipstick." Hey, I told you I take care of myself so that I don't have to take care of an
Samantha"We can deny those feelings all we want, but that doesn't mean they don't exist."Theon's words came swirling around in my mind once again. I was teaching the girls, we were already in the third week of January and his words had not left me for a single second in the last few days. We didn't stay on the best of terms either, I ended up convincing my parents to take me to Denver to get away from the New Year's celebration at the Adamos house, and I avoided talking about it with anyone.I heard the studio door opening and turned around quickly with a racing heart, hoping that he would show up just to see how I was doing, as he did before. But in the end, to my surprise, who was there was my mother. She didn't usually visit me at work, but I decided not to focus on that. I would finish the class and then I would deal with it.Everything was so difficult, it wasn't supposed to be like this. As much as I knew I was doing what my conscience demanded, I missed him, I wanted his comp
Samantha After opening the gifts that each of us had brought, this time more informed about the use of each of the things, I had won, I decided to step away from the guests for a bit, stepping through one of the glass doors that led out onto a balcony overlooking the snow"capped mountains of Colorado. I hugged myself as the chilly breeze hit me, I shouldn't be out there without a coat in the middle of winter, but somehow, it helped me clear my mind a little. I walked over to the guardrail, watching the entrance to the house quietly.A few moments later I heard footsteps approaching, but I didn't bother turning around to find out who was there, it must have been my mom bringing me my coat, or crazy Delphine trying to convince me to eat something, but when the person stopped beside me, I didn't know what to do.Harper leaned over beside me, watching the scenery as I did. I bit my lower lip, feeling my heart race at her presence. Why was she there? What did she want with me? I mentally
TheonI was lying in my bed on the verge of the unconsciousness I so longed for, when the sound of my cell phone vibrating on the wood woke me up. I sleepily groped the nightstand in search of the device, finding a message from Sam there."Are you awake?"I frowned, sitting up in bed, trying to find some sense in that message. Sam had become very distant from me in the last month, and I hadn't expected that contact." Is something wrong?"I returned the question." I just can't sleep."" Why not?"I replied feeling puzzled by the situation. I remembered the time we had spent hours exchanging messages, it seemed like forever since that had happened."Henry is agitated and I can't get the ice on my foot.I frowned again as I read the end of the message. So, to satisfy my curiosity I ended up calling her." Hi, I hope I didn't wake you up," her voice sounded a little fearful on the other end." What happened to your foot? " I questioned." I stepped on the last step of the stairs and twi
Theon I parked the car in front of Sam's house, sending her a message to let her know that I had arrived. I was on my way to my mother's house when I received a call from Lara asking me to pick up the mother of my son. It seems that Sam had arranged with Lara to help her get ready for the party.Sam and I had become somewhat closer again after I had gone to her house two days ago, not quite the kind of closeness we were used to, but it was something. In fact, I was beginning to wonder if maybe I should have some hope for the future, since from the comments I heard, Sam was no longer with Mike Laffay.I was trying not to delude myself so much, not after everything that happened at Christmas, but it was still hard to deny that I still had feelings for her.Samantha left her house, hurrying to get into the car because of the snow that had been falling insistently since yesterday. It was the beginning of February and her belly was getting bigger and bigger, we had already started the cou
Theon Rushing footsteps followed me and I didn't have to look to find out who was following me. I could still hear my two sisters' argument getting louder and louder." Where are you going, Apollo? " Sam asked, panting as she struggled to keep up." Don't run," I murmured." Then walk slower," she pleaded as we reached the stairs.I complied with her request to prevent her from rushing up the stairs, but my mind was made up, Marcus would learn to keep his distance from any of my sisters!" Where are you going? " Sam asked again." I'm going to kill that bastard," I muttered, expecting her to try to stop me.My mother and sister were in the living room, looking startled at the confusion unfolding upstairs." Theon, what happened? " My mother asked.I didn't answer, I headed for the door while Sam shouted a summary of what had happened, running to catch up with me. I got into the car, preparing to start it when Sam took the passenger seat." What the…"" Come on, Apollo, you're not goi
