Something Old...Something New

Chapter 2: A walk to Reality

Chapter 2: A walk to Reality 

It had been 2 weeks since Mike moved back in and it has  been hell. She’s had to take cold showers every day to  

stop her body from swelling from Michael hitting her for every little mistake she makes, she could hardly move but  she somehow managed to get to the office on time. “Ray I  need you to go over the books… the rent for the office is  due and I didn’t get a chance to go over our finances.” She said sitting down slowly. Raymond knew something was wrong… he had a itching feeling since she first said  Michael moved back in. he held his tongue for this long  should he say something? While he thought about it he answered her without even noticing it. 

Michael showed up to pay a visit at the office and Raymond had a few words to say to him. “Listen up… if you hurt her in any way…I swear I’ll kick your sorry ass.” He said bluntly looking Michael in the eye and he laughed.  “You’re just jealous because I got her back and you were too chicken to make a move when you had the chance to.” He said and just walked away. “Hey I came to see if  you wanted to go to lunch.” Michael said coming into  Sam’s office. She turned around in her office chair and  shook her head. “Ray is getting me lunch I have a ton of  things to do today.” She said. 

“I’ll get you lunch from now on and to be honest you  really don’t need him anymore I’ll get you a new  assistant.” Michael said as he paced the room. Samantha couldn’t believe what she was hearing… he was trying to take over her office. “I’m fine with the assistant I have and

I’m fine with him getting me my lunch baby you just have to trust me.” She said and saw that Mike was angry but  then her phone rang and she took the call, thank God. She  turned away from him while on the phone. 

Michael stormed out and bumped into a petite woman,  shorter than Samantha with beautiful red curly hair but  she looked just like Sam. “Oh excuse me Michael I have a  meeting with Samantha.” She said moving past him. That  woman was Sandy Collins best friend of Sam. “What are  you doing here?” Sam asked as Sandy walked in and  closed the door. “I brought lunch silly I told you I was stopping by.” She said putting the big shopping bag on her  desk. She looked inside and found all of her favorites and her eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. “You really didn’t  need to do this Sandra.” She said smiling. Sandy looked at  her closely and she noticed all the places on her body that  was covered in make-up. 

“Sam … what’s going on? You look horrible girl.” She said  looking at her. Samantha looked down and didn’t reply,  she knew that if she did Sandra would tell her to report  him and she knew she wouldn’t. “Nothing’s wrong Sandy  I’m fine… just with finances and cases not coming through  I’ve just been stressed.” She said. Sandy didn’t believe a  word she said but she let it go because she knows how  Sam gets. Sandy left after they ate and Samantha decided  

to lay down on the lounge couch and rest and while she  took a nap she had a dream about Ray. 

“Samantha you know what I want and I know you want  the same so why are you with Mike?” but when she tried  to answer it was like she couldn’t speak. He walked up to  her and kissed her… his kiss was different more  passionate than Michael’s, slow and tender. She wanted to speak but again the dream wouldn’t let her. He pushed  her down onto the couch and began to make his way to  her breast, he pulled it out her full plump breast, he fondled and caressed as he kissed her then put her taunt n****e in his mouth and just when she was about to feel  his lips on her soft brown skin… she woke up.  

Dreaming of the devil he walked in the office to see if she  was ok and to give her some news on the books. “Sleeping  on the job now are we boss lady?” he said with a smile. She loved his smile it was a true smile so loving. She  smiled back and asked “so what up? Are we ok?” being  more serious. “We actually are and Mr. Thomas called…  he has another robbery charge.” Although she was happy  to finally have a case, she hated dealing with Harrison  Thomas Jr. but his father is one of the richest  businessmen in the state so she hopped right on the case. 

“this boy…I just don’t know how I’m gonna save him this  time this is his third time being arrested for robbery and now assault too?” she rubbed her head in frustration and  looked at Ray. 

Ray left the room to get Harrison’s father on the phone for Sam and who should enter the room than Harrison  himself. “Hello Ms. Steele.” He said with his head down.  Harry as Samantha would always call him was a lanky  looking boy but she knew he had a little fire in him. “You  know you’ve really done it this time Harry? What  happened to you promising me to not get into any more  trouble? You’re only 19 you know they’re not gonna let it  slide because of your father.” She said looking angry. He  said nothing and she soften up a bit. “Look why don’t you  go home and I’ll call your father ok?” she asked and he nodded, and then left the room.  

Samantha was exhausted and couldn’t wait to get home. She and Ray got ready to lock up and then Michael  showed up. “Get your coat now we’re leaving… the boy  can lock up for you.” Michael said with an attitude. Sam  knew why he was upset, she told him no to getting her a  new assistant and buying her lunch from now on. She  mentally prepared herself for what Mike was gonna do, 

he grabbed her arm really tight and dragged her out of  the office. “Why won’t you make love to me?” he said  with a slur. She could tell that he was obviously drunk and  she didn’t really want to know where he was to get this  drunk. 

“Baby let’s just go home… you need your rest, I’m tired  too let’s just go.” She said trying to pull away from him  but it was no use; he had a good grip on her. She didn’t  know what was worse? The fact that he was drunk and he 

could possibly r**e her or the fact that she was somewhat  turned on by this? She came to the realization that this  was a battle she just wasn’t going to win so she pulled him out the door of the office and lead him to the parking lot. 

“You want me Michael then take me right here and  now…” she said getting into the car and he followed. It  wasn’t long before Michael ripped off her clothes and  kissed her… but this kiss was different from the first, it  was hot and hungry. He looked absolutely primal and she  could feel him pulsing. He started his attack on her by  using his finger, flicking and teasing her c**t which made  her moan instantly. She felt herself getting wet and his  assault continued this time his tongue was the attacker.  Circling, zigzags and flicking his tongue almost pushed her over the edge but it was his d**k that would finish the assault. He eased it in her slowly and she whimpered, he 

let out a huge groan when he finally fit all of him inside  her. 

He started pounding in and out and with each pound she moaned louder but in her mind it wasn’t Michael giving  her this carnal pleasure, no in her mind she was thinking 

of another man, Raymond. “OH GOD YES!!!” she  screamed over and over and got faster with each pound.  She could feel her climax coming and she let it out as did he with a loud groan. He sobered up after that, got in the  driver seat and drove them home. On the way Sam fell  asleep and whispered something that made him furious  but he decided to let her sleep and deal with it when she  wakes up in the morning. 

Sam woke up in her bed alone again and she wasn’t  worried about it, she figured that Michael would be in the  bathroom or kitchen. When she put on her robe and went in the bathroom… she saw he wasn’t in there so she went  to check the kitchen but he wasn’t there either. “Mike?  Where are you?” she said walking towards the living  room. She saw him sitting on the couch with a shot of  scotch in his hand. “Its kinda early for a drink don’t you think?” she asked with a smile but he didn’t respond, just  sat there and took a sip. 

“Babe are you ok?” she said reaching out to touch him but  he moved away. “Michael St. Clair what is wrong?” she  asked getting a little upset. And he snarled “Don’t talk to  me you b***h… the whole time we were having s*x you was thinking of that boy…” she looked shocked and then  she got angry. “ I would never think about ano…” but  before she could finish that sentence he smacked her so  hard she couldn’t feel the right side of her face. She knew  the best thing to do was leave him alone but as she tried  to move away he pulled her down on the couch, ripped  off her robe and stared at her body. 

He was angry, her body was his so why did she think of  Raymond? He got up and moved away from her. “Just get ready for work, I’m going into the city… got a big case I’m working on and I don’t need this.” He said as he stormed  out. 

Sam just pulled her robe back on and left the living room  sobbing. When she got to the office Harrison Thomas Sr. was already sitting in her office with the same always  serious face she remembered from the first time they  met. She walked in and shook his hand. “Good morning Mr. Thomas Harry is in deep you do realize that right?”  she asked waiting for an answer. He looked up at her and

smiled “do you know who I am? I could have him out just  like that.” He said while he snapped his fingers. She gave  him a serious look “Harris I’m serious, look did he tell you what happened?” she asked but he just shook his head.  

“He’s not talking to anyone and the police is holding him in a cell until trial.” He said now looking worried. “How bad is it Samantha?” he asked in a hush tone. “He could  get more time if he doesn’t say anything but if he tells at  least someone what happened I may be able to get it  reduced.” She said not feeling confident about it really. 

“My son is going to jail? No I won’t allow it.” Harris said  firmly and shook his head. She rested her hand on his  shoulder. “Harris I will try my best to fix this but I don’t  think we can get the prison sentence taken off.” Sam said  with a sad look “Look I care about him too Harry but he’s got to learn a lesson for once.” She said reassuring. He  nodded in agreement. Samantha buzzed the front desk  where Raymond was and asked him to get her and Mr.  Thomas some lunch. “So how is that assistant of yours?  Did he graduate yet?” Harrison asked. She shook her head  and answered. “Nope but this is his last year and I’m excited for him he takes the BAR right after.” She said. 

They shared stories and had a good laugh when who  should come in but Raymond but he didn’t look too happy. 

He pointed at her and motioned for her to come with him  and she did. “You may want to see who’s prosecuting  Harry in our case.” He said while he turned the TV on…  and when he turned it on her eyes widened. “That son of  a b***h…” is all she could say as she saw Michael speaking  at a press conference.
