Breaking The Routine

Chapter 7 Chapter 7 - Nothing Last Forever

           The next morning Sam woke in the large bed with David next to her. She was smiling like a fool and feeling happier than she had in a long time. She still couldn't believe the previous night had happened. Feeling the need to getup she moved his arm slowly and carefully trying not to wake him. She had just gotten up from the bed when his arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her back down. She gasped in surprise and David rolled on top of her. "What is it with you and sneaking out of bed when I am asleep," he asked her with a feigned expression of offense on his face.

            "I am not sneaking!" Sam demanded.

            "Right, Gollum then what exactly do you call it?" He asked with a playful grin on his face.

            "Gollum!? You did not just compare me to that little monster," she cried with the best frown she could manage and tried to push him off of her.

            "Yes I did, now get over it and answer my question!" He replied as he pinned her down with an evil glint in his eyes and she growled at him trying hard to look pissed but it didn't seem to be working.

            "I was just getting up; I don't believe I need your permission for that," she said cockily

            "Actually I think I like that idea; from now on you can't get out of my bed until I allow you," he said grinning down at her and she laughed at him not believing what an arrogant and absolutely attractive jerk he was being.

            "Oh really, and what if I say no," Sam shot back trying hard not to smile.

            "Then you will have to suffer the punishment." He looked at her serious but she laughed again looking at him defiantly.

            "Please you don't scare me Mister!" She returned and managed to get out from under him and up from the bed. She stuck her tongue out at him in a childish show of victory.

            "You were warned," he told her grabbing her quickly pulling her back onto bed. She shouted in protest as he pinned her wrists above her head. "I warned you, Sam, now you have to suffer your punishment," he told her and with his free hand began tickling her sides. She squirmed in a fit of laughter soon with tears running down her face. How did he seem to know her every weakness!

            "Okay, okay, you win," she cried after a while feeling the lack of oxygen starting to affect her and her sides started to hurt from laughing so much.

            "See now was that so hard," he asked then kissed her softly and releasing her wrists,

            "Yes very," she pouted when the kiss ended wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him quick kiss. "Now let me up! I am starving," she told him and he shook his head.

            "First you have to ask me for permission," he told her slyly and she narrowed her eyes at him.

            "David, you can't be serious," she said pushing him a little harder but he didn't move. Sam gave another growl and relented. "Fine, David may I have your permission to get out of this bed before I starve to death," she said sounding bored and he seemed to think for a moment. "David," she cried as she gave his arm a playful slap.

            He laughed and rolled off of her and she looked for her clothes. He handed her his shirt, "I think this would look great on you," he told her with a flirty expression.

            "Oh please that is so cliché," she said rolling her eyes but put it on anyways.

            "Maybe but it looks good on you." David told her with a wink.

            He insisted on fixing her breakfast and Sam hesitantly agreed worried about how well a city boy like him could cook. She sat at the small wooden table eyeing him nervously and he finally set a large cheese omelet in front of her. It looked really good but she wasn't sure yet.

            She poked the food with a fork. "Really your confidence in me is astounding missy," David said shaking his head and Sam couldn't help but smile.

            "Well if I end up in the hospital, I will be sending you the bill," she threatened as she finally cut off a piece of the omelet. She stuck in her mouth ready to grimace but surprised to see it was really good. "Wow this is good!" Sam admitted when she had swallowed.

            She eagerly took another bite and he laughed as he sat down next to her. "I may be from a big city family but I am resourceful and not some spoiled punk expecting everyone to do everything for him," he explained just before he took a bite of his own omelet.

            "Tell me about your family David," Sam asked him after she finished her food.

            "Well my parents have been together for nearly thirty-five years, I am the baby of three children. My father is a lawyer in New York and so is my brother, Chris, but he lives in L. A. My mother is your typical high class social bee, and my sister, Lizzy, lives in Missouri living the soccer mom life. Not really much more the Andrews family," he explained a little monotonously, "What about you Sam, do you have any siblings, and your mother?" He got up picking up the empty plates from the table.

            "I am an only child and well my mother died when I was little. So really it's always been  just my father and I," she said with a small shrug.

     "I am sorry," David told

to say. "Thanks but don't be it was a long time ago,

           "Is that an invitation," he asked looking up at her eagerly and she laughed loudly. This man

          "Not exactly," Sam replied walking to

a rejection either," he said huskily wrapping his arms around her causing her to jump in surprise, she didn't realize he right behind her.

      "No, I guess it wasn't a rejection either," she admitted. Sam gasped and laughed harder

she and David sat on the sofa watching a movie, she wasn't sure what it was. She had never seen it before and wasn't really paying attention. Her mind was running over the events that had happened today. She smiled more as she remembered the incredible shower they had taken. Sam had never felt so treasured

  However doubt gnawed at her too as she remembered the conversation she had with her ex, Jeff, on her twenty-first birthday when they broke up. Sam chewed on her lip remembering at the time she would have swore Jeff loved her as much as she thought she loved him. It had made so much sense at the time and seemed like what was meant to be. But it didn't have any sense and wasn't meant to be, Jeff had told her so that night. He confessed he had become bored with her very quickly and that Sam simply didn't have

to rear their heads. "Hey Sam, what's wrong?" David asked cupping her cheek turning her face towards him. She looked up at him, his face filled with concern and for the first time Sam wondered if Jeff could have possibly

cleared their throat and Sam remembered why she should never do anything even remotely against the rules as she saw her father looking at them with stern disapproval. She always without fail got caught. Her face burn with a deep blush as David stepped away from her with a sheepish expression on his face and she quickly pushed herself off of David's desk. Hurriedly she pulled down her skirt which

        "Um, hi dad," she finally said not knowing what else to say. Apparently David didn't either; he just stood there

"But I swear no matter how hard I try you thwart me at every turn! Preferring to make me out like the bad guy in those trashy books you read! I knew you had a tendency to make a fool of yourself but this really takes the cake Samantha! How could you be such a stupid fool!" Her father

she felt like horrid monster. She never meant to embarrass him or her mother. Would her mother be ashamed of her? Her humiliation increased tenfold realizing that everyone had probably been laughing at her the whole time and whispering about what a silly fool she had

            His face darkened as he continued, "I can't do this anymore Samantha. May Eleanor forgive me but I can't! I have tried to so hard but I just can't do it anymore! If you are determined to make a fool of yourself then so be it but you're not taking
