Sam wasn't gonna lie. When Schuester had told him about the European sponsor, Sam had really expected a spoiled Englishman that thought he could do anything because he had the money for it. But, really, Rory Flanagan was the opposite. And he wasn't even English. As him and Sam spent most of the day together with Sam showing Rory around the company and explaining to him how things worked there, the two of them found themselves in easy conversation.
Rory had told Sam that he was actually from Ireland and his family had lots of money and so did he. The Flanagan clan was one of the biggest and best names when it came to investments and they were known for always betting in the right companies.
"I've always been a music enthusiast." Rory said. "So I've always really wanted to invest in a company like this one to help agents find new artists and keep the music going always. I was going to invest in a company closer to home, but as I was checking my options, I met Sugar."
Ah, Sugar Motta... How to explain Sugar Motta. She was what Sam had expected her to be — spoiled and entitled because of her money. She was also kind of mean and she reminded Sam of a few bullies he had met in high school. After all, she had told him he looked kind of weird with his very off mouth to face ratio, but Sam couldn't really say anything considering she was Rory's fiance and he had just laughed when Sugar smiled bashfully at Sam's frown.
"Sorry... Aspergers." She said, and, as much as Sam didn't know what that meant or how that helped her case at all, he had decided to let it go.
"So, hum... You and Sugar... You've been together for how long now?" Sam had asked Rory as the two of them and the woman stood in the briefing room, waiting for Schuester to arrive so they could finally talk business.
"We met about five years ago, right, love?" Rory asked Sugar, who just nodded, a bit tuned out of the conversation. "Her father knew William, so that was how I got to hear about this company he was running for music agents here in America. She was the one to convince me to invest here actually."
"Oh, well, I guess we owe Ms. Motta a great debt of gratitude." Sam joked as Sugar turned to him with a smile.
"Oh, you can definitely pay me back later, hottie." She winked at him as Sam raised an eyebrow at her before turning to Rory, as he just laughed.
"No need to repay, Sam." Rory joked as Sam laughed a bit. "But how about you? Single?"
"No." Sam shook his head then, a small smile coming up to his lips when his mind instantly traveled back to AJ. "I, hum... I have... I have a girl. A... A roommate? I-"
Sam flinched at himself, wanting to use the word girlfriend, but unsure if that was the correct term. After all, they had been living together for the past three weeks and she even slept in the same bed as him, but they hadn't really kissed again or anything and it was mostly because AJ would constantly complain about how she looked and how bloated she felt and, no matter how many times Sam had tried to tell her she looked amazing, she'd never buy into it. Still, they made breakfast together constantly and Sam never missed an opportunity to cuddle with her. He called her babe and she had even started calling him baby back most of the time so they were dating, right? All that was missing was the official question, but Sam was always too scared to make the first move and scare her off in spite of all the progress they had made together.
"Complicated?" Rory asked with a smile, upon noticing Sam's distress and, before he could answer him, the door was pushed open and in walked Schuester.
"Everything is with that girl." He mumbled as Sam glared at him, but refrained himself remembering Rory was still around. "Anyway, how have you been, Mr. Flanagan? Did you have a good trip?"
