Love In Unexpected Places

Chapter 18

Nicole wiped her eyes. "You have no idea how much I want to say yes."

"But?"

"There's something I haven't told you." "Rose got transferred to Paris." "They leave next week." "They want me to go."

"So, you're gonna leave me again?"

"I don't know." "You know how important they are to me."

"What about me?"

"You're everything to me."

"It doesn't feel like I am right now."

"You are." "You know you are."

"I could get why you broke up with me the first time." "I was a kid." "I'm a man now." "A man that knows what he wants." "I want you, forever. "What's the reason this time?"

"I don't know if I can leave them."

"You can leave me though?"

"I don't want to baby." "I love you Sam."

"Then stay with me."

"If I go with them, I hurt you." "If I stay with you, I hurt them."

"Nicole, I know the bond you have with Rose, I know the bond you have with Isabelle." "I know you would do anything for them." "When does your life start?" "When does our life together start?"

"We have a life together."

"No we don't." "If we did, you wouldn't even consider leaving me." "It just seems like your thought process is this." "Well if I have to pick between my family and Sam, I don't pick Sam." He said hurt.

"You're talking like I've already decided."

"Because I think you already have." "That'll make Rose happy, she hates me."

"No I haven't."

"As long as she gets what she wants, who cares about me, who cares that I love you, who cares that... He looked down. "God damn it." He said frustrated. After a few seconds when he looked back up, he had tears in his eyes. It broke Nicole's heart.

"Honey." She said putting her palm to his cheek.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "I don't want to fight." "I just don't want to lose you again." "Once was hard enough." "I love you Nicole."

"I love you too Sam." They kissed.

"Don't go." He said in-between kisses. He put the engagement ring box with the ring still inside on the end table. He picked her up like he always did. They went into the bedroom. He laid her down underneath him. They took off each other's shirts and began kissing feverishly, both moaning into each other's mouths. He rolled her on her side, got behind her and slowly kissed her down her back, removing her bra when he got there. He continued until he got to her waist, then he rolled her over and kissed her stomach. She moaned. "Does that feel good?" He asked. "Yes." She said in a moaning voice. "Ohhhh." She moaned when he licked her stomach. He took off her jeans and panties. As they kissed she felt his hand slip inside her. She moaned into his mouth. "Mmmmm, mmmmmm." She moaned repeatedly as he kissed her acrossed her neck. "You're so fucking sexy." He said "Oh Sam." She moaned. "Fuck, I want you." He said. He couldn't wait any longer, neither could she. He took his hand out and took off his jeans and boxers. "Ohhh-Nicole." They both moaned simultaneously as he slipped inside her. He started to move. For the first ten minutes they just looked at each other lovingly. "Stay baby." He said. "Ohhhh." She moaned as he went faster. "Please, I love you." "Ohhhh." Every time he said something he went faster. "God, stay with me, marry me." He groaned "Oh god, Sam, oh yes, yes, Sam." She moaned giving in. "Oh Nicole." He groaned giving in.

They were laying there.

"Can I think about it?" She asked.

"Yes, but I already know you're gonna leave me." He said sadly.

He rolled over away from her. "I love you." He didn't say it back.
