Ch. 19 - Secrets, Pleasure, and Everything in Between
Sam was full of surprises, and it was obvious tonight that he had everything planned just perfectly for Laura. She was a special girl to him, after all, and tonight would be a night she’d never forget. After the glamorous trip to get her a perfect a dress, and the quite fancy restaurant outing…Sam stepped it up a bit, and took her dancing. Unlike all the other places he took her, this one was not so fancy, but it was still perfect for Laura. It was a little quiet, but absolutely beautiful.
When you walked in everything seemed a bit dark, except for a dim light in the center of the room, with a tiled orangish, greenish floor…which hadn’t been danced on all night. There was a bar in the far corner, and since Sam had called up ahead of time, with tips in mind…no one else was there, but the employees. Sam wanted this night to be special, and that it was.
“Are you sure this is it?” Laura asked, stepping into the dance hall.
“Yep,” Sam reassured her, taking her coat.
“But, there’s no one here,” she said.
“Exactly,” Sam said, snapping his finger as the live concert began. Laura gasped. All of her favorite songs began to play…from the saxophone, the piano, the flute, the electric guitar. All of it was so amazing to her, and she could barely breathe, in excitement.
“Oh Sam!” she said, marveling at it all. Sam just smiled, quite pleased with himself.
“Shall we dance?” he asked, grinning.
“Absolutely!” she said, taking his open hand and gliding onto the floor. From that moment on, nothing else existed. No one was there to make a distraction, but even if there would have been, I don’t think it would have made a difference. They danced the night away…to fast songs and slow songs, to country and rock…and finally they ended the night on Laura’s absolute favorite song-L-O-V-E!
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore
Laura giggled. Obviously she was pleased.
“Sam! I can’t believe you remembered!” she said hugging him.
“How could I not?” Sam whispered, beginning to sway her slowly to the beat of the all famous love song.
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Sam dipped Laura’s head upside down, holding her body gently in his arms, and then spinning her around freely.
Once the song was finished, Laura gasped and fell into Sam’s arms. He freaked for awhile, but then controlled himself.
“Are you alright?” he asked frantically.
“Yeah,” she said, breathing quickly, “I just need to sit down,” she said, waving her hands in front of her face.
“Alright,” he said, leading her to a chair, “Water!” he called to the bartender.
“Comin’ right up!” he said, delivering the water to Sam, who after that gave it to Laura. They both thanked him as he returned to behind the bar.
After a few minutes, Laura was ready to go.
“Okay! I’m ready! What else you got up your sleeve?” she said excited. Sam couldn’t have been happier.
“Actually, that was it,” he said, snickering.
“Oh,” she said slightly embarrassed, “Well…that’s cool…I guess.”
“JUST KIDDING!” Sam said, whisking her off the chair and spinning her around a few times. “Come on! I’ve got some more ‘interesting adventures’ to take you on. Well…just one, but still!”
“That’s totally cool!” she said, barely being able to talk because her smile was so big. And so they left. Sam tipped the band extra, and the bartender…and thanked everybody for allowing this ‘night’ to take place. They were all very polite and waved genteelly as Laura and Sam exited the premises.

Mr. Chapman was still pacing, yes, obviously he had stopped a few times…but he had something to do. He had met someone about a week ago. It was a secret, that’s why I didn’t tell you sooner. There was a young nurse, who was oddly familiar to Mr. Chapman, but more importantly than that she was working on his wife’s case at the hospital, but was being somewhat difficult, because of earlier circumstances, and he had to meet her tonight. Her name was…Janie Parxton, or more formerly known as…Mr. Chapman’s highschool sweetheart…It seems weird, but I’ve got to talk to her tonight. She has to help me through this! I know she went through a lot, but…I’ve got to talk to her!
Mr. Chapman picked up the cordless phone and began dialing a number, “Hello? Yes, um….no don’t hang up! Please! We have to get together tonight! Yeah…mmmhmmm….yeah. I know you’re busy, but you’re working on my wife’s case for crying out loud! Please! Thank-you…alright, I’ll see you soon,” Mr. Chapman said, hanging up the phone. But what he didn’t realize as he exited the grand house, was his eleven year old daughter, Tessa, who had been eaves dropping on the whole conversation. What’s going on? Tessa questioned herself, as she slid out the door, and followed her father down the block to his meeting place.

Lucy Hall always liked the movies. I mean, she hadn’t been there in awhile, but she decided it was time to get out. I mean, for crying out loud Sam was becoming too mature and too much like an adult, maybe it was time she saw what all the fuss was about. What teens liked these days, and so she did…
She headed down town in her mini-cooper, and decided to see what the buzz was all about. There were about twenty teens huddled around the theatre booth, and Lucy was not one for patience. She paced back and forth for about twenty minutes, while maintaining her spot in line, and still…zippo! Finally, she just decided to walk down the street, and find a cheap restaurant to dine at.
She passed McDonald’s and some Mexican place…but then she got to an old-fashioned…Denny’s and went inside, or was about to, but at the window was a couple whom she knew one of. It was Mr. Chapman and another woman…and that other woman wasn’t Chelsea. Lucy stopped right where she was, and turned the other way…she was gonna go home. It was getting late anyways…and this night had been too dramatic for her to experience anything else. With that…she headed home for a long, and probably not peaceful, night of sleep.
