The Gathering 01.14 – Daylight
Sam threw clothing into the suitcase swearing under her breath as she did so. She tripped over a pair of shoes at the end of the bed, and failing to right herself with another curse as her hands hit the ground hard.
Sam looked down at her splinted wrist and ripped the air cast off. Throwing it onto the bed in quick fit of rage. She crouched there, looking at her now empty finger of her right hand, where her commitment ring had sat for so long. She could see the tan line and the sight sickened her, she closed her eyes against it.
“You should be little more careful where you put your shoes.” Shane said from the door leaning on the jamb with her arms crossed. The sun was filtering through the windows and it fell on her face lighting up her features.
Sam looked away again this was not her day. Trying desperately trying not to look at how gorgeous she looked standing there, wearing a tight pair of jeans and another one of her famous sleeveless shirts.
“Yup, I should huh?” Sam stood and kicked the shoes away, suddenly feeling really self conscious seeing Shane standing there. She hadn’t left the fact that wasn’t lost on her.
“Where ya headin’ off to?” Shane asked casually. She wasn’t at all feeling casual she was nervous, frightened and unsure of herself. She had a hand stuffed into her pocket, playing with something that was there.
“I have a meeting… In Pittsburgh… Family thing.” Sam felt so out of place, in her own home, it was annoying.
“Sam…” Shane started, but Sam spun around and started to talk.
“I know Shane don’t say it ok? One night that was it. It’s what I thought it was going to be and that’s how it was and will be. Volley and point. You are the queen of LA, you’ve never had a real relationship, and you sure as ***** are not going to start with me. Let’s not pretend it was anything more than it was good *****. I never expected to see you again and you me. So damn it just don’t ***** say it.” Sam said in a hard voice.
