Keeping it Professional

Just one Drink

I was a far cry from productive by the end of the day. I am sure that Miranda and Tony could feel my distance. Had they know I had a visitor today? It didn't matter. I would just need to get through one drink and then Sam would be in my rear view mirror. I needed to keep it professional at work, and wanted a promotion once I finished my masters degree. Sam was not helping. 

I was nervous and excited driving to Paddy's and I absolutely hated that. As I pulled in I realized that I had no idea if Sam had a car with him or what it would look like. I'd be going in blind. I squinted through the windows to see if I could see him. I jumped when I heard a gentle tapping at my window. SAM. He was infuriating. He opened my door and gave me a hug as I got out. "Listen, I said one drink- you don't need to be touching me the whole time" I snapped as I backed away from him. "Okay fair enough" he smirked, stepping back holding his hands up playfully. I rolled my eyes, "let's go and get this over with". For a brief moment, Sam looked sullen. I almost felt bad. We walked in and sat in our usual corner. 

Sam and I ordered our usual drinks. After an awkward pause, we both inhaled prepared to talk when we were interrupted by big burley arms reaching around us both, pulling us in. I glanced behind me to see that it was Paulie, the owner. "Here are some of my favorite alum! How are you guys" he said in his deep Greek accent. Paulie remembered us because I lived there year round, and Sam would come with me to the bar when he visited. We spent time catching up with him and before we knew it he had appetizers and a pitcher delivered to us. "Nope, we signed up for one drink" I shook my head as it was delivered. Sam placed his hand on my arm, "Come on, this is on the house, and that drink was wasted on Paulie, we didn't get to talk yet". I sighed as he filled my glass from the pitcher. We both looked up at Paulie who winked. I knew that it would have been offensive to Paulie regardless of how much I hated Sam right now. "What do you want, Sam?" There, I ripped the band aid off. He took a deep breath and his face softened. "I miss you. I don't know what to do when I can't see you." What he said surprised and confused me. Why brush me off to chase me when I have had enough? Why date someone else when I finally tell you to leave me alone only to come back chasing me? I held back tears in my eyes. He looked deeply into me with tears in his eyes as if he knew all that I was thinking, "All I can say is I am sorry, and you have deserved better". I looked away, taking a sip of beer and grabbing a wing before this got too serious. We sat in silence for a minute. Before I knew it, Paulie was whisking us away for a game of pool. It was common for him to pay for my rounds after hours, once he had locked the doors and allowed the cops to smoke in the bar. It was earlier than that tonight, and I think he knew we wouldn't be staying late like we had in years past. 

We stayed another hour, until we had finished our pitcher and the wings. As we walked out, Sam placed his arm around me in a familiar fashion, like many nights walking out of that bar. We walked to my car and I turned before getting to my door. "Well, I guess that's it, Sam. You had more than 1 drink. It was nice seeing you". I tried to stare at him fiercely, but eye contact was never a good thing with this man. He face softened once again. "Please, Nova, we didn't really get a chance to talk tonight, Paulie was all in our business". He grabbed my hips, pulling him closer to me as I crossed my arms. "You shouldn't even be driving, let's uber to Lucy and Tim's, they invited me to dinner anyways". I couldn't believe them! He gently kissed my forehead and grabbed my hand. He was clearly premeditated because the uber had just pulled up. He ushered me in before I could react. I sat as far away from him as possible, determined to not fall for him like I do every time. I could feel his eyes on me. "Nova, I am sorry to hear about your mom". I know he likely heard, but I hated that he was trying to make me talk about it. "Thanks, she's in a better place" I replied as I glanced out the window. He was one of the few people who knew how painful it would be for me to move back in with her. I also hated that. Eager to change the subject, I took a jab, "So how's Lisa?". Sam furrowed his brow. He was not impressed, and frankly I wasn't either but I was buzzed and desperate. "We aren't together, Nova." as he grabbed my arm, forcing me to look at him, "she knew I wanted you" he whispered leaning in towards me. His hand traveled down to my upper thigh, where it grabbed hold. His other hand reached around the back of my head pulling me in. Damn it, I was jell-O. I couldn't help but kiss him back, running my fingers through his hair as his hands traveled up and down my body. I caught myself, pulling back, taking a deep breath and straightening my clothes out. Sam was smirking in his seat. That jerk. I cleared my throat. "We are almost at Lucy and Tim's. Listen, just because you're not with her doesn't mean everything is magically fixed. I need your best behavior tonight". His smirk widened. "I know everything isn't magically fixed, and I love it when you get bossy with me" he nipped my neck. I huffed and he chuckled. The car stopped and I couldn't get out quick enough. I hustled up the walk way and into the house, leaving Sam in the dust. I walked in eye balling Lucy and Tim who grinned once they saw Sam behind me. "Nova! Is this how you treat our dinner guest?" Smirked Lucy as she gave him a hug. He pecked her on the cheek and I rolled my eyes. We enjoyed dinner together and to my annoyance, Sam was invited to join us for a movie after dinner. 

In her typical instigator fashion, Lucy yawned 30 minutes into the movie saying goodnight, dragging an oblivious Tim with her. Sam put his hand around me, reaching down around my hip. I initially tried to wriggle free but he held me tighter whispering in my ear, "it's just a movie, I've seen you cuddle with Lucy plenty of times during them. Let's just hang out". He kissed the top of my head. He was infatuating and annoying all at once. However, throughout the night, he had worn me down and it just felt good to be in his arms again. I took a deep breath and settled in. Sam put the blanket on the couch over both of us and kissed the top of my head again. He better knock that off. He placed his arm back around me, tucking his finger tips into the waste of my pants, right at my hip. He reclined further onto the couch, pulling me onto him. I was almost laying on top of him now. It felt so comfortable. His hands began to move throughout my body. His finger tips pressed into my pants, down my back side and my thigh. He pressed down deeper as he pulled back up, navigating his way in between my legs. I tried to rub my legs together to avoid him, he grabbed my face with his other hand and thrust his tongue into my mouth. Almost grabbing my neck, I felt paralyzed in how bad I wanted him. I relaxed my legs, allowing them to straddle him. His hand dove deeper into my pants. I could feel the bulge from his pants pressing into me. My hand navigated down his chest unbuckling his belt and opening up his pants. Before I knew it, we were both naked and panting on the couch. He placed three fingers in me, before moving them up to my c**t rubbing me. It made me gasp, and he grabbed my face crashing his lips into mine. I had already grabbed his hardness, rubbing him as he got harder and harder. "Come here" he demanded, as he grabbed me and sat up placing me on his lap. He pushed himself into me carefully, while holding me tight looking into my eyes. He was so big, but I loved how he felt deep inside me. He increased his force, grabbing my hips pulling me down on him as his mouth traveled across my breasts, neck and mouth. I felt like I could explode and scream. As if he knew, Sam whispered in my ear, "I wish I could make you scream" as he grabbed me tighter and tighter, rubbing me harder as he thrust himself deeper and deeper into me. I bit his shoulder to avoid screaming. He winced and I could feel him get harder. We climaxed together and collapsed on the couch. We were both sweaty. I couldn't even process what had just happened, and I was exhausted. Sam carried me up to bed. He laid with me, holding me tight. I could feel his heart still pounding. "Goodnight, Nova. Have a nice nap, I know you'll want me again tonight". I laughed him off and fell asleep in his arms. I woke up three hours later thinking it was a dream, as I came to- his arms were still around me. We were both still naked. I was so embarrassed, how had I done this? I tried to think about an exit as my body became restless. This caused Sam to pull me in closer. Still asleep, he kissed my neck. My body couldn't help but go to a jell-o state when he did that. As I relaxed, his hands started moving up and down my body. I could feel him get harder and his hips began to move back and forth into my back. He was awake now and whispering in my ear, "Nevermind, it's me who needs you again". He made me gasp as his hands moved down my torso and in between my legs. He pulled one of my legs over his body, spreading me out. He alternated between rubbing my cl*t and moving his fingers deep in me. It made me arch my back, pushing myself into his hardness. I know he could feel how wet I was. "Nova, do you want my hard d**k?". I gasped again, I didn't know how much longer I could be quiet for. "Look at me Nova, how much do you want me?". He pulled my face up, holding on to my neck as he stared deep into my eyes. My body vibrated. I needed him. I exhaled, and moaned as quietly as I could, " I need you now... deep...". He grabbed my hair, pulling my head back, kissing my neck before moving back to my ear, "tell me, how much...". I couldn't stop my body from moving back and forth into his hardness. I moaned a little louder, "Please, I need you bad, I want to feel how hard you are". With that Sam grabbed my hips, "come here" he growled quietly. He placed me on my knees, got behind me and thrusted himself into me. The force made me moan into my pillow. Sam grabbed my hair again, making me arch my back further, putting him deeper in me. I needed him deeper and deeper. I couldn't stop telling him. He rubbed my cl*t and got deeper and deeper until we both exploded. We both collapsed from exhaustion. Sam put his hand around me, as if he needed to be touching me and whispered in my ear, "I need to leave in the morning, but I will be back as soon as I can". He gently bit my shoulder before we both fell asleep tangled up.
