In the middle of the night, Samantha decided to go back to her house. She was aware that Jacob was working in the office and would camp out. She did not bother to hurry to disembark her things off from her house. She did not mind the dark lights from the house. Though she managed to see because of the bright moon above the sky. It was a beautiful night with stars twinkling.
She managed to finish one load of her baggage when she heard a faint footstep. She paused and looked back trying to sound for any beings not far from her. She grabbed her phone and immediately turned on her flashlight. She vaguely saw a person on the cemented ground. She was uncertain if it was man or a woman. The person's hair was disheveled and Samantha noticed a glass bottle on his or her other hand. Samantha could hear a faint mumble. Samantha slowly approached the person and uncertain to what she should she do with this person.
"Excuse me" Samantha poked the drunkard with a wooden stick she found on the ground. She was 2 feet away, but she still uncertain of the person's gender.
"Samantha" Samantha's eyes widen she heard her name. She realized who was the person in front of her. She stood up and stepped away making a distance from the person to her. Her back straightened and was about to go back to her house, but she heard again her name from this person's mouth. She froze in place.
"please please please" Samantha felt divided and uncertain how she should deal with this person.
"I love you so much please don't leave me" Samantha gave out a deep breath out. She hated herself for being gullible. But she could not bear to leave this person outside of her house. She scolded herself, but she put her things inside her house let the door open before helping the person go inside her house.
"David, what did you do?" she mumbled as she tried to carry him inside without tripping to the ground.
She struggled because of how heavy David was. But she managed to throw him to the sofa and gave out a loud grunt from him. She hissed at him disbelieve how he managed to end up in front of her door. She massaged her sore muscle and proceeded to go upstair to her room to freshen up. She did not mind the man who was drunk and fast asleep inside the living room. She changed to her nighties and went down with a thick blanket. She removed David's shoes and loosen his polo and covered him with the blanket. Samantha went to the kitchen and cooked soup and placed it on the counter table. She left a post it message.
𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘱. 𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘵.
She went back to her room and sleep without any thinking anything.
David woke up with severe headache. It felt that his head was being crushed by heavy machine. He sat up and trying to balance himself by supporting to the couch. He felt dizzy at first but eventually, he realized that he was inside a house. The living room was cozy and he felt nostalgic to look around. It had been few days since he came from this house, but it felt for him ages. He could not stop himself to tear up, but he tried to lectured himself to control himself. He slowly stood up and tried to peeked to the kitchen hoping to see someone, but sadly he saw no one. He noticed a soup bowl on the kitchen counter. He went closer and was able to read the note that Samantha left. He looked upstairs but he did not managed to see anyone. He tried to open Samantha's room but the door was locked. He knocked a few times but still no response.
"Sam, please" he said and sat to the floor. "Please, I cannot live without you" he added as if struggling to breath as he thought of losing someone he dear. "I know I mess up, but please don't leave me; I am not letting you go, Sam. You can hate me, but I will not let you go" he said.
Samantha who was sitting on her bed, stared at the door. She was listening but did not have any will to feel anything. Maybe she was tired. Maybe she was numb with how she ended up like the same thing with Charles. She hoped that he would leave her house, but her expectation was not met. She slowly opened the door and saw immediately David sleeping outside her door. She heaved and was about to leave him, but she felt arms around her. It was tight that it felt that he was not planning to let her go.
"I miss you so much" he said through her ears. She felt tears behind her back. David was crying without care that he looked silly. He knew that he must not let her go, if he did, he knew that he was certain of possible losing her.
"Scold me. Shout at me. Hate me. I don't care. I will not let you go" he said
"But what if you ended up with a child? David you know that I went to the same predicament before. Charles ended up with a child with another woman even though we were married. As they say, you can't hate the offspring because they did not do anything wrong. Its the adults fault for doing stupid things"
"Im stupid. But if I did ended up with a child, I would only support the child. But I will not leave you" he defended himself.
"I cannot, David. I am not a saint" she said. Slowly, she removed his arms, but she could not escape from his embraced.
"I know. I know. I am a scum. But please dont leave me" he said; He turned Samantha so he could looked at her. His face came closer to her face. He stared at Samantha as if savoring the moment until he kissed her passionately.
