The Gathering 01.72 –  Turbulence Part 1

            Sam sat on the steps watching as Shane approached them holding two glasses and she stopped as she saw the woman talking to Sam – it couldn’t be.  What in the ***** was she doing here?  No, there was no way that she could have come here, it had been months, years since she’d heard from her, since she’d gotten Shane to agree to help her on her last scam. 

            “Shane seems we have a party crasher.”  Sam said her voice cold as the arctic ice.  Sam got up and went to Shane‘s side and put an arm around her waist.  From everything she’d heard Sam didn’t like her.

            “Fiona.”  Was all that Shane said Sam’s jaw was frozen clenched.  She wasn’t sure how this woman had managed to get here but Sam obviously wasn’t happy about it.  She’d read the file on Shane that Gardner had given her at Shane’s prompting.  This woman hadn’t been much of a mother.  Much less a human being and this angered Sam beyond all reason.

            “I can explain.”  Fiona said her eyes pleading, her arms reaching out to touch Shane’s cheek, Shane recoiled.  Almost hiding behind Sam like a small child.

            “I don’t want to hear it.  How dare you come here?  You don’t belong here, not in my life, not in THIS life.  This is my life now and you’re not a part of it!”  Shane said, shaking and Sam held her, not sure what to say or do.

            “I think you should go.”  Sam said, pulling Shane away and Shane turned her back on her mother and didn’t look back once.  “Shane?”  Sam prompted but Shane just shook her head, she wasn’t ready to say anything yet.  Tears threatened and she wasn’t going to cry over that woman, not now or ever.

            “Sami, not right now ok?”  Sam nodded and kissed Shane gently.  She knew when someone needed their space and this was one of those times.

            Lara leaned against the door and watched as Dana found Jayden’s mouth and kissed her savagely, while Alice undressed Dana with a practiced hand of a lover.  Lara saw the look of lust on Jayden’s face and she walked over to the bed, grabbing Alice and kissing her with force.  Alice pushed her onto the bed next to Jayden and unceremoniously pulled her pants off.  God, this woman had a great body!  Thought Alice as she looked down at Lara, then seeing Jayden’s tight mid riff and feeling her lust double.
