Chapter 14

Sam walked into the Wimbleton Restaurant and placed her order and went to her table. She took out her book and began reading. A suitor approached her table and began to introduce himself but when Sam looked up from her book and he saw the icy stare from her, he quickly complimented her and departed.

 Kyle stood looking on. Every single day for the past two weeks he tried to talk to her on the phone and she didn't reply so he came here every lunch time for the past week to see if he could meet with her.

He looked at her and hesitated. What was he doing? For Pete sake he was going to be engaged soon and as far as he saw, he could not get out of it. Why did his body and emotions betrayed him every time Sam was around.

Kyle watched as the waiter approached her and was quite friendly. He even plated the food on the table so that his hands could brush against hers. Kyle seeing that, caused his hands to clench automatically and he quickly stood up and walked over to meet with her.

Excuse me! Kyle said to the waiter and sat down on the opposite side of Sam.

The waiter quickly left and Sam continued reading her book.

So that's how it's going to be with us Sam? Kyle said in a soft angered voice

How's what going to be with us Kyle? Sam said as she continued to read.

So our four dates meant nothing? And for heavens sake look at me when I'm speaking to you! Kyle said as he angrily and slammed his hands onto the table.

Sam raised her head, but Kyle didn't seem to recognize her. Her face was red, her eyes wild and he knew his behavior had aggravated her tremendously.

Let me tell you something you entitled, pampered piece of shit! Do not take God out of your thoughts, come to my fucking table and be slamming your fucking hands and feel you can speak to me like I am one of your whores! Yes this is how it is! This is how it will be so fuck off! Sam said savagely.

You thought that you would swoop down and have me because of what you have, what you wear or what you drive and I'll let your immature behavior slide. Not fucking me Kyle! Don't you ever behave in that manner around me again because the next time you do I'm may not be able to control my hands! Sam continued in a threatening tone.

There was several deafening minutes of silence as they both glared at each other.

Sam I'm sorry okay! I'm sorry for Sunday! I'm sorry for what happened just now! I just need to be around you please! Kyle said in an apologetic tone.

No Kyle you want me around you, there's a difference. You need air to breathe, you don't need me around you in your life! Sam said and continued to pick at her food.

Please Sam I fucked up and I know I  did. Just continue the rest of the dates with me please? That's all I'm asking for, please! Kyle pleaded

Is this a game to you Kyle? Playing with people feelings should not be a game. Fine you want me to go out on the rest of the other dates with you! Tell me what you were doing Sunday from lunch to six in the evening? Explain to me why your phone was off and I'll think about it! Sam answered.

I told you I was at a work with my father in a meeting and my phone was off because they requested that all phones be turned off as to not interfere with the demonstration. Kyle said convincing himself that he was not lying but just exaggerating the truth.

So you're telling me that your company had a demonstration for several hours and you couldn't get a break to send me a message that you would be later than expected or couldn't attend? Sam asked

Sam I could have but I chose not to because I was excited to see you. I waited so many days and I was not going to cancel on you. Please Sam, just continue the dates with me please? Kyle begged

Sam looked at him for a long while! Was she overreacting? Was she taking out her past relationship drama on Kyle and punishing him for it? Her heart believed what he said at that very moment even though her mind was still hesitatant and screaming at her to not fall for the puppy eyes he was looking at her with.

Give me the napkin Kyle! Sam said.

Kyle handed it to her and Sam updated it and handed it back to him.

So you counted today as a lunch date and wrote done next to it I see. Clearly our agreement lacks rules! Kyle said sarcasically.

I'm eating lunch and you're here with me, are we not? Don't you consider this a lunch date? Well I do because you disturbed my reading which means my attention was elsewhere! But I left the next entry to be yours, so go on! Sam said casually.

Kyle was annoyed at Sam for that sneeky move she pulled on him. He wanted to get back at her and he knew her weakness was being alone with him. He contemplated the words he wrote down very carefully and handed it to her.

" Aha! This Friday at seven! A movie and dancing! I'm impressed, but somehow my mind tells me there's more to it. Fine, very well, I'll meet you at the park for the specified time Kyle!" Sam said and got up to leave.

As she passed beside him he held her hands and looked into her eyes,

And can you please unblock me so I can contact you? Kyle pleaded

Sam smile and removed his hands from her and began walking,

We'll see Kyle, I make no promises okay! Sam answered after a few steps.

Two days later, Sam unblocked Kyle's number so that he could contact her.
