Chapter 3 - Sam

Sam Riley cussed under his breath as he watched his phone ring. This was the third time she would be calling and if he didn't answer her call this time around she would send text messages till his phone goes off.

He let out a sigh as he swiped to answer the call

"Hey," he muttered

"Hi honey, where have you been. I have been calling all day?"

"I was asleep. What's happening?"

"Nothing. I just. Kind of miss you and I know I shouldn't because this wasn't what we agreed our relationship would be like, but I just, I really lo..."

"Look Emily can we not do this now? I was in the middle of something very important."

"Oh. But I thought you said you were sleeping?" She questioned

He let out a sigh. He was irritated by her guts and ended the call without giving a reply. If it wasn't for her call maybe he would have seen if the lady in his dream would get saved. He always had this dream since he was young and every time he did, he was in the worst kind of mood.

This time he saw the young lady again and it seemed like she was in deep trouble but he couldn't do anything to help her. "Why do I always have to watch you suffer," and "who are you?" he thought to himself as he fell back on his bed and pulled the duvet over his head.

Since he started having the dream, he has avoided having an intimate relationship with any girl. What he felt in the dream every time he saw her was strong and different from any of the emotions he has ever felt in his life, and it has also played a big role in his relationships because he decided he'd never get attached to any woman till she made him feel exactly how the lady in his dream did. He always thought that's what true love should feel like.

Most of the girls he dated also never bothered to ask what his reason for not wanting a serious relationship was, because they felt a guy like him, who had all the money and could get anything he wants can only be a playboy.

This was the case for his present girlfriend, Emily who he met at a friends' party in Australia. She had agreed to all the terms and conditions that came with being in a relationship with him and acted accordingly but just like the other girls he's dated she started developing feelings for him and now wants something intimate.

"Saaam!! Wake up! You Jug head," Greg said loudly and playfully as he pulled a pillow off Sam's head and threw it at his face

"Uhh, the maids took a day off so how did you get in?" Sam said, with his eyes still closed. He was almost getting to back to sleep when Greg interrupted

"I know my way around your house! You should be dressed, you know we have a flight scheduled for 11 and that's in an hour time," Greg said

"Go without me."

Greg chuckled. "You must be crazy, you know that's not possible! I had to travel here just so I could convince you to go back with me. And I thought you already made up your mind, what on earth changed your mind?" He asked and waited for a reply from Sam but didn't get any

"You can't do this. What do you expect me to tell Alex? you know he's just as grumpy as you are and doesn't take no for an answer?"

"I'll talk to him," Sam replied

Greg looked at him in amusement and wondered how on earth he changed his mind over the night. They had spoken just yesterday and he assured him he was going back with him. but he knew better than still trying to convince him.

"Alright! Do whatever you want. See you in England," Greg waved his hand

"Yeah, Bye," Sam replied. He let out a sigh and rolled over.
