After the passion they had just shared last night, Samantha felt quite positive about their relationship, she felt this time Derek meant every promise he made.
She walked around the jewelry store searching for the perfect wristwatch for her lover
"Finally,this one is just exquisite. I'm sure Derek would love it" she said as she picked up a big gold Versace wristwatch with diamond atones arranged on them
After buying the wristwatch, Samantha decided to also get Derek's favourite wine. on her way, she bumped into an old friend
"Samantha Geoffrey, unbelievable! Such good fortune to meet you here. A tall guy with auburn disheveled hair spoke with a strong accent
"Woaw! Dave, its good to see you again. I see you haven't lost your accent even after all these years in U.S"
"Well, actually I've been up and back in Australia since we graduated from college"
Samantha and Dave exchanged contacts and fixed a date to hang out
Samantha stopped by at Derek's apartment. She kept ringing the door bell over and again but Derek didn't open up.
Samantha then decided to use her spare key"maybe he isn't home". She opened the door and saw Derek's clothes scattered about the sitting room.
Surprised, she helped him organise the palour. She knew Derek to be a very organised person and thought he was probably in a hurry when he left the house.
She dropped the wine in the fridge and walked towards the room to drop his new jewelry in his drawers. Samantha loves making Derek happy, she loves to surprise him.
In the lobby, Samantha saw a pink bra on the floor. She knew the bra was too big to be hers much less lying on the floor
She had come over to surprise Derek but it seems she's the one getting surprised. Her mind began to race, she began to think what she didn't want to think or imagine.
"Derek isn't with another woman", she tried to assure herself but her voice failed her.
Derek switched on his bed side lamp as Samantha screamed and the wristwatch fell to the ground causing a loud "thump".
"DEREK HAROLD!", she screamed again and ran out of the room.
The whore in Derek's bed sat up straight and gave a wicked smile "your girlfriend is such a..."
Before she could finish her statement, Derek snapped at her "shut up and get dressed"
Derek ran after Samantha till he caught up with her in the garage, he couldn't let her drive, he knew it wasn't safe for her to drive at the moment
"Sammy please listen to me, the girl you saw in there means absolutely nothing to me"
Samantha tried to ignore him as she opened the door to her car but Derek shut it close back
"I'm sorry, I got caught in the moment while we were at the bar drinking" Derek went on his knee and hung his head in regret "I LOVE YOU SAMMY"
Sammy stood there speechless as she wept. The pain was much stronger than she could deal with
Derek promised to make it up to her "Sammy I promise to make it up to you, I'll prove that I am truly sorry and didn't mean to hurt you but for now, let me drive you home"
Derek took Samantha by the hand and ushered her into the car, she seemed totally lost as she didn't flinch or talk on their way to her apartment.
After they got home, Derek helped her take a shower and tucked her to bed. "I'll be here for you all through the night"
He kissed her forehead and stroked her hair until she slept off.
