Chapter 53

  • Emma quickly got up and took few steps backward from Sam. Sam kissed her and she didn't see it coming. She was surprised and somewhat furious. She wanted to yell at him for the act but she caught a glance at his shivering body, his sore eyes and rough hair and felt pity for him instead. However, it was not an excuse for him to kiss her like that. She thought. She stared at him intently and he was rubbing his palms vigorously. He must be sorry she thought or probably afraid of what her reaction will birth. "I am very sorry Emma. " he said shaking his head indicating he was truly sorry. "I didn't mean to… I… " he said and instantly remained silent. "Leave Sam. " Emma blurted. "What? I.. " Sam was saying. "I said leave Sam. " Emma said again. He nodded and said "Fine I'll go but I am deeply sorry. " He went for the door and was still apologizing while Emma followed him and slammed her door after he got out. She went back, fell on her bed staring at the ceiling in confusion.
  • Sam just kissed her and she didn't really know how she felt. Is she surprised or angry? Was she feeling sorry or disappointed in him? Emma thought. She didn't know what to do next. She can't remember sharing a kiss with anyone other than Gideon. "Gideon. " she blurted and immediately sat up. The last time she kissed someone without thinking clearly was William and he paid for it. This is Chicago, she thought. There was no way Gideon will find out she kissed someone or someone kissed her rather. "And so what? " she said out loud. Gideon is her ex husband and it didn't matter whom she shared a kiss with. As far as she was concerned, she would hang out with anyone or more still kiss anyone. But deep down, Ema felt awkward and guilty. She cleaned her eyes countless times and placed her face in her palms. "Stop feeling guilty Emma. You owe Gideon no damn loyalty. " she told herself and dragged herself to the bathroom. Perhaps a warm bath will lighten her mood she thought.
  • During her shift at the bar that night, Emma kept peeping towards the door hoping to get a glance of Sam. Was she too harsh on him? She thought. She had wanted to tell Ellie about the predicament but she didn't. Ellie will be shocked she was hanging out with Mr. Arrogant lately and it will raise questions she wouldn't want to answer. Her shift will be done in an hour yet Sam didn't show up. Maybe he needed some time alone she thought. He looked stressed and needed to clear his head from the guilt of hurting his father. She wouldn't judge Sam for being kind of irrational. It proved he cared and loved his mother and his father had no right to assault his mother. Had Sam been drinking to stupor? She thought because when he came to her apartment with that bouquet of flowers, he was looking shrunken, broken and she could swear he was ill. Could a mere guilt be responsible for the state she saw him in? She thought. Sam is not her problem she told herself and continued clearing the table. She felt she was beginning to care for him too much.
