'She looks so sad so abandoned that her gaze is enough to portray that story for her without her using words.'
I felt shocked to receive a call hurrying me to go home to Samantha.
I didn't even hesitate, I was in the middle of a meeting with managers reporting to me reclaims of the artists they manage but I dropped everything and just walked out.
I could have left the work for Theodore but now that I do not have him. I leave it to the Coo of the company to carry on and rush to my reason of living.
What could have happened now? I did go to work leaving her when she was fine. She has been fine for the whole week. Was she sick and I have never realized it?
Has something been bothering her and I was never there for her?
The work here has been getting much more serious because well, it is the entertainment after all, people come and others go. But was there a way that I did ignore my woman for her to face something alone?
I would not forgive myself if that was the case, on some rate I would start to realize that maybe Theodore was right all that time and coming here was not a good idea.
I drive home but I don't feel the car moving much faster as I want it to move regardless I still feel glad when I don't get pulled over by any cop not like I would have stopped but it is a plus one at the moment because I do not think I had time for the cops.
I get home and rush inside.
The living room is empty but I can hear mumbling upstairs so I rush there.
"What happened? What is going on?" I ask Tiffany and the house cleaner when I find them at the doorstep of my and Samantha's room.
"Samantha locked herself in there. She is not letting anyone in or even better saying anything at all." I raise my fingers and pinch the top of my nose contemplating what happened.
"What happened before she came in here?"
"She received a phone call." Tiffany answers. "We don't know who was on the other side of it. But she cried and then stood up before coming up here."
Housekeeper interjects. "We thought it was normal and that she needed some time alone or something up here but since like twelve thirty she has not walked out of this room again." It's now ten minutes to three.
I feel confused and so in the dark as to what would have caused her to lock herself in our room. Nothing points to me to what might have happened so I would start thinking from there.
"Didn't you think of finding a spare key to open the door?" I ask the girls there and then they both shrug before Angel, the house cleaner answers. "We do not know where they are." I nod my head understandingly which I also don't too.
Damn it Theodore. I pull my phone out of my pocket to call Theodore to ask him where the spare keys of the house are but before I get to his number, there comes a text notification on the top of my screen.
I open it quickly.
Samantha.
Send the girls away, and come in.
Her request is simple but it speaks volumes to me. I look at the worried girls.
"You should leave," I say to them and I watch as they frown in confusion.
"I got it. I mean I don't think there is any more studying to be done at this hour." I say to Tiffany before I turn to the house cleaner. "I will take it from here," I say to the housekeeper.
They have a frown of not understanding.
"Let me walk you out," I say pushing it, showing them there is no room for arguments about it.
They look at each other but when they turn to me, I sign for them to go. I walk them to the door.
"If she talks to you can you tell her to call me?" Angel asks but I only pass her a nod.
"Me too." I nod to Tiffany.
"Have a good evening." They nod at me without looking in my eyes, I close the door before I walk back upstairs. I try the door knob and feel glad finding it unlocked.
I get inside and Samantha is there sitting on the bed on my side that faces the door.
"Samantha?" I call and she raises her face and looks up at me.
"Hey." She sniffles.
"Kai, am I bad?" I frown misunderstanding her. "What?"
"What did I do to my sister for her to tear my life apart the way she did? Am I that bad that I deserved to be treated like that?" She bursts out and asks as soon as I try to get closer to her. I frown but then it hits me. This is about her family. A sore wound that even I know I can not heal her from.
"What did she get in separating me from my family? Why would she lie to Dad? We've been best friends our whole life Kai. I loved her and she loved me but I don't get why?" As her voice breaks at the end of her words, it breaks along with my heart. "Samantha baby."
"Uhm, do you seem to have a reason to tell me why she would do what she did?" I hate how her eyes look hopeful like I have something for her when I know I don't.
I shake my head subtly and when she looks away shaking her head too with tears in her eyes.
I walk closer to her kneel in between her legs and enclose her in my arms. "Am here darling."
"I know." She says to me but I hate how silently the tears keep on falling from her eyes. It makes me want to go back to Rwanda and rip out her family in anger for the tears they caused her.
Samantha was not like this when I met her. She was so full of life, so lively, and almost at the top of the world at just her age but here she is now.
Thinking of what her family did, knowing what families are capable of making you feel like makes me clutch on to her so tightly than I needed.
"Baby." She calls slowly and it's when I realize how I am gripping on to her. I loosen my strength on her.
I pull back and look into her eyes, they are so puffed from all the crying I think she did. She looks so sad so abandoned that her gaze is enough to portray that story for her without her using words.
She raises her hand upon my cheek. "Mom gave birth." She offers me a sad smile. "It's a boy, I have always known she was going to give birth to a boy. Yarrow told me." I realize she might have been saddened by missing that kind of moment with her family. It might have caused her unhealed wound to bleed.
"He is called Simeon Sumac Adams. So beautiful right." I nod my head and she smiles again at me.
It's not a happy smile, seeing her smile sadly like that only makes me wonder what I would give to have her smile her usual cheerful and lively so beautiful smile that she possesses.
Realizing something, I lean in capture her lips, and wash away the sad smile in my mouth. I move my lips upon hers like I want her to engrave my lips and only me as the only thing to be on her mind.
I pull away waiting for her to get some breath in but as she still has her eyes closed, she whispers to me. "Kiss me again kai." And I do, I capture her lips and kiss her granting her wishes.
"One more time." She says and I do one more time for her.
We pull back and she twits her head to the side inviting me to taste her, I do without waiting for her to ask for it. I lean in and suck on her neck, I move my lips up to the spot under her ears and bite it there making her breath escalate a little.
"Touch me, Kai." I do.
Anything for my girl to feel better and to bring back the lively girl I know of.
I do.
I do attend to all her wishes the whole night.
