The One Who Got Away

Chapter 19

    The meeting was a success, but breaking the news to them that Barry who has worked for the company since it was created. The person was reprimanded and told that a lawyer would be coming and charges would be pressed against him for the millions he stole from the company.

        I was in Sam's office getting my stuff together when he walked in shutting the door "Finally, my father wants to talk my ear off on what he thinks I should do as if he gives me choices" I chuckled at what he said gathering my bag over my shoulder, "It's been a pleasure working with you Mr. Hendrix. Is there anything else I can help you with?" He smirked and opened his mouth to say something but I shook my head. "That's not available at this time." It wasn't a lie, I felt very swollen down there from our earlier escapades. 

    Now was not the time anyway as his mother stormed into the room "Sam are you ok? I had to get maintenance to let me in." He sighed his face falling from the smile he had just been wearing. "Mother it was because I was finishing up my meeting with Ali." 

    His mother for the first time took notice that I was standing in the room, she sighed "Mm, isn't her work done? You wont be required anymore, take your leave."

        "Mother!" Spoke Sam.

      I held up my hand and shook my head "I'll have the bill prepared and sent to you." I nodded at him before stepping out of the room walking past his mother.

        I walked to the elevator and pushed the button waiting, a man who seemed to be in his early 30s smiled at me as we waited for the elevator to come. Once entering I leaned back with my legs crossed as I waited for the elevator to start moving and I felt a little weird. Like I was missing something, and then it downed on me as I blushed looking down, I pulled out my phone and texted Sam's phone.

Me- Please return my possessions to my home.

Sam- Can't do that, I think I'll keep them in my drawer.

Me- p*****t I'm being serious.

Sam- I'm being even more serious then you. I can still smell you.

Me- RETURN THEM

========================================================================

    I had finally just gotten Amelia calmed down after dinner, and was waiting for Cassidy to get here. She was finally home from her surprise trip to LA, and when I say surprise I mean she called me saying she was on her way to the airport and she would call me when she landed. It had been a little over a week since I seen her and boy was she missed. She said she was stopping by to pick up Amelia for the night so that I could get some me time before Amiena arrived.

    I was very thankful for that thought as I had somethings to prepare among other things. I was putting away the dishes when I heard "Baby cakes i'm home." I hated when she called me that, but no matter what I said she was not going to stop calling me that.

        I walked up to her and gave her a big hug and she grinned, her tan very evident and from the looks there was no lines to go with it. "Look at my baby getting big." She placed her hands on my stomach and grinned talking to the baby.

       "How was your trip?" I wiped my hands once again before walking to the couch and sitting down. She picked up Amelia from her normal chair and sat down holding her "It was amazing, I seen so many great things, and the food was so good." I nodded sitting back "I figured you could probably use a break for the night and morning and Amelia can hang with me tomorrow. Andre is suppose to be coming to help me with a project, but I'm sure she will be asleep before that."

    I just looked at her with a suspecting look and she started looking around. and then her eyes zeroed in on something "What is that?" I glanced to see that it was Sam's watch, I smacked my head "Um it's a watch."

        "No s**t, but who's?"  She moved faster then I could waddle out of the seat and she picked up the watch turning it over, I knew that it was engraved with his first name because it was the watch that Jackson and him got when they were entering college. The graduation gift from my father. "Has he been hanging out here?" She looked over at me.

    I looked down guilty and she grinned "Ohhhhh what have you been doing.?"

        "It's not at all what you think." I began, she knew me like no other person and that included when I was lying about something.

    "Oh but your lying and it is what I think. Did you guys finally sit down and talk? Does he know? OH MY GOD. Does he know about Amelia?" She was asking so many questions that I was staring up at the ceiling and honestly did not want to answer

        "No, we haven't discussed it. I don't even know how I would begin to talk to him about it." I sighed, I hated when she brought in logic like this, I always felt like the bad guy when she did.

    "You can't keep it from him forever Alisha, at some point your going to need to tell him. Amelia deserves it, and so does Sam." Cassidy said.

        "It's easier said then done Cassidy you know this, I tried to return. You know what and who happen." I rubbed my temple.

    Cassidy sighed "I know but we are all adults, Amelia deserves to know the truth. He's her father for Christ sake, they at least deserve to know each other."

        "But what if he rejects the idea, or worse. What if he blames me, how do I-" Tears started to stream down my face.

    "I'm sorry but what did you just say?" We both jumped and faced the door and saw that Sam was standing there in the doorway holding flowers, we both shot up off of our seats and stared "Are you saying that Amelia is?" The look on his face looked so pained, It was that moment that Cassidy realized that when she entered the house she didn't close the door all the way and that was why Sam was able to walk right into the house. 

        Cassidy looked between the both of us "What did you hear exactly?"

    His reaction was a lot harsher then normal when he spoke "Everything. Is it true? Is she...is she mine?"

        I opened my mouth as tears streamed down my face, I bit my lip "I...I."

    "I don't want the bullshit Alisha, I just want the truth." He never called me Alisha and I flinched and his tone towards me.

        "Please, you have to understand it's not as easy as you think." I cried out reach out my hand.
