Breaking The Routine

Chapter 13 Chapter 13 - A Girl's Day on the Town

When Sam finally woke it was already late in the morning. She stretched then rolled over onto her stomach still not ready to get up. She knew as soon as she did everyone was going to be telling her to go talk David. Sam wondered crossly why every friend she had wanted to butt in her life and tell her what she should do. Couldn't she just be left alone to do as she wished? She frowned when a knock on the door answered her.

            Speak of the devil she thought sourly and she turned her head away from the door with no intention of opening it. Just a few more hours she pleaded silently. She only needed a few more hours then she would be ready to deal with her nosey friends. Snuggling into the pillow, she proclaimed it her new best friend with a smile on her face. The knocking ceased and Sam sung victory bringing the blankets to her chin.

            Her door opened and Robert walked in frowning. "How did you unlock my door," she exclaimed angry that he broke into her room.

            "Obviously because I have a key," he said waving the card in the air and she frowned, how the hell he got a key to her room.

            "Go away Robert! I am not ready to get up, which is obviously the reason I didn't answer the door," she grumped at him turning over and pulling the blankets over her head.

            "It's nearly eleven in the morning already! I think it's a good time to get up," he scolded her and she growled at him.

            "Well I don't so go away!" She shot back.

            "Well at least I tried," she heard him say and the door closed. Well that was easy she thought happily. It was a short lived happiness as Robert hadn't left as she thought. He ripped the blanket off of her. She shrieked at him grabbing one side of the blanket.

            "Robert, give me back my blanket," she demanded pulling on the blanket.

            "No, you're going to get up and quit being so lazy!" He commanded her as he pulled the blanket back his way.

            "Since when do you think you can boss me around?" She demanded as she dug her heels into the bed pulling the blanket back her way.

            "Since you decided to waste the whole day in bed!" Robert barked at her then gave the blanket one quick and hard pull. Sam shrieked as she lost the blanket and her balance causing her to fall off the bed. She sat on the floor crossing her legs and her arms frowning up at Robert who was doubled over in laughter.

            "That's it! You are no longer my friend Mr. Bradford," she told him as she stuck her nose up in the air and he walked behind her and placing his arms under hers and pulled her up to her feet.

            "Don't be a spoiled brat and get up! Tabby is waiting for you downstairs; she has planned a girl's day out," Robert told her.

            "That sounds nice," She said reluctantly. "Are you tagging along? Going to get in touch with your feminine side," she teased and he shook his head.

            "Not a chance, I am going to hang out with a friend here in New York. I think I need some guy time or I will end up turning into a girl," Robert told her with a horrified look on his face.

            "Well you'd make a fine girl," she teased and swiftly saw that his bottom lip was split and slightly swollen. As well he had a small bruise along his right cheek. "What happened to you? Get in a fight to prove how macho you are?" She asked half teasing and half serious.

            "Something like that," he said, smiling to cover the truth and Sam eyed him suspiciously, all the time she had known Robert he never gave her the impression of being the fighting type.

            "Quit giving me that look! Go take a shower and get dressed," he demanded.

            "Yes Dad," she said sarcastically heading to the bathroom taking a quick shower and throwing on the first thing she found making a vow that she was going to stop letting people push her around.

            "Finally," Tabby said tapping her foot furiously as Sam entered the lobby. "Sam I have been waiting here for nearly an hour and half!"

            "Sorry I didn't realize my day had already been all planned out for me," Sam snapped at her, the sarcasm dripping from her voice.

            "Don't be a sour puss; we are going to have fun!" Tabby linked her arm in Sam's and leading her out of the hotel. "First let's get some food into you, then we are going to go shopping and after that we are going to get our nails and hair done, my treat!"

"Great, now I have both of you two to gang up on me, I knew it was a mistake bringing you two together," Sam fumed throwing her hands up in the air and Tabby simply laughed warning her not t mess up her hair till this evening. Sam walked up to her room kicking off her shoes, tossing the several shopping bags to the floor and plopping down on the bed ignoring Tabby's
