Chapter Fourteen

Sam

Sitting in the back of the cab, I had my shoe off and on the seat while I rubbed my sore, tired feet on the way to meet Jason. Work was hell, but I wasn’t about to cancel on him. I had mixed feelings about hearing what he had to say – especially after the night I’d had with AJ roughly twenty-four hours ago. On the one hand, I was still thunderstruck by Jason’s secret, but on the other I was reminded of how much we’d been through together, how he’d put up with my quirks, loving me despite my hang-ups. Call me crazy, but I had a soft spot for him. Not many men could love a woman as broken as I was when we got together.

Before Jason, I hadn’t been with a guy period since AJ, let alone been in a relationship. But then I met him and he made me want to try again. It was those same feelings that made me fall for him in the first place that had me walking through the doors of a crowded lounge instead of the door to my apartment.

I could see clear to the back from the entrance. There he sat, nervously swirling the drink in his glass as I approached the table. When he saw me coming, he hopped to his feet and pulled out my chair. His weary expression caught my attention as we embraced and I lingered there in his arms for a while. Had I missed him? Yes, absolutely. However, I now felt like I was hugging a stranger considering the fact that there was a whole side to him that I didn’t even know about until a short time ago.

Kissing my cheek, Jason finally released me and took his seat again. “I’m glad you came,” he said, staring at me intently from across the table.

I nodded, but didn’t say a word.

He reached to clutch my hand in his. “I’ve missed you so much. You have no idea.”

“I’ve missed you too,” I admitted freely. “But I have to be real with you, Jason, I’m not sure where we stand right now.”

His expression went slack.

I stared into his eyes and tried to imagine him in the role of husband and father to two strangers currently residing in Boston. Thinking about it, I looked away and shook my head.

“Sam…baby…I know I’ve said it a thousand times in text messages and on your voicemail, but I’m sorry. I really am. You have no idea how stupid I feel for keeping this all from you.”

I heard him pleading, but I found it hard to have sympathy.

“You know what hurts the worst?” I asked. “The fact that I told you things about me that I’ve never told anyone, Jason.” I thought back to the night I told him about Antonio. After talking about it, I lay awake crying in Jason’s arms half the night because it was so painful to relive that incident. But I did that for him, because I thought he deserved to know everything there was to know about me.
