One Smile

24: Ride Him Around

Sam POV

"Mr. and Mrs. Ferrari I cannot thank you both enough for all you have done for me," I ramble as I jump up and hug them both. "Honestly. You saved my life and supported my family. Thank you. Also, I cannot accept these clothes they are-"

"Nonsense. The clothes were nothing. You will not speak a word about them. And, for the last time. No more formalities. Especially now that you and my son are official, you will make beautiful babies! I am glad he finally grew a pair and stopped being a baby," Myra drops down in the chair next to Ally and gives her a quick hug.

"Rob and Myra it is so good to see you both. Gosh you should have seen the two of them together this morning. They looked like they've been together for longer than they have been alive," Ally chuckles.

I just shake my head at them. It honestly feels like everyone is more involved in this relationship than I am. I mean, even my dad put Ethan in his place according to Ally. I wish I was awake to see that, why do I have to sleep like the dead?

"I hope everything here is to your liking. We are so glad you are okay. Especially because you made my son smile for the first time in a year, not even Jonas could do it as quick as you," Rob explains.

"This place is amazing. Everyone here is amazing. Thank you so much for all you have done. Honestly." I try not to cry because I have been crying way too much lately and my mom did not raise a little bitch. She raised this bitch, and I guess this bitch is a baby.

"How are you feeling dear? Everything must have been so stressful waking up," Myra gives me a sympathetic smile and pats my hand. She feels so motherly to me.

We catch up on everything and I find out that they have been getting close to my parents. In fact, my dad quit his accounting firm and started working for Rob. At first he refused because he didn't want a handout, but Rob explained that he knew his portfolio and needed someone he could trust to handle some of the more sketchy numbers. Great. My boyfriends father made my father a criminal.

"Your parents speak the world of you. They are so proud of you and were so worried about you these past few weeks. I am happy you are awake now, I hated to watch parents have to go through that. I struggled watching Sara when she was in a coma after overdosing. It hurts to see your child on a bed empty," Myra explains. I squeeze her hand like she did mine and she gives me a thankful smile.

"We just wanted to check on you. We are so glad you are awake, stay as long as you need. When you leave, I expect you take all the clothes and the phone without argument. Don't make me chain you in the basement," Rob jokes. Part of me believes he would do it if I didn't take the stuff.

"How can I repay you? I can't just take all of this," I argue.

"Your parents are having us for dinner when you return home, that and making my son happy is enough. Bye dear," Myra and Rob leave before I can argue back. Sneaky adults.

"You get used to the expensive items and random gifts," Ally murmurs.

"I don't want to, it is too much and I don't like taking from people."

"You're not. To them it is nothing. You can fight it but they just double down. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Let's watch some TV."

*********

"Shhh. Go back to sleep. I got you," I hear the ball of warmth whisper while I am cradled to a chest. I snuggle in and listen to Jake's heartbeat which is becoming my new Xanax.

"What time is it? I didn't even know I fell asleep."

"It is 6. You were passed out on the couch with Ally when we got home. Her and Antonio are gonna stay the night. Your parents are coming for dinner later but I figured we could grab a quick snuggle before they get here," he explains before kissing my head. If I wasn't so tired I would swoon at his words.

"You make me really happy," I sleepily kiss his chest.

"All of that for all of you, remember? I meant it," Jake whispers.

"All of me," I reply.

He puts me down on the bed and drops down beside me.

"Goodnight my queen," he mumbles before kissing my head. I fall asleep smiling to myself and wondering how this relationship is only a day old. I think I like him more than chicken.

********

"Baby. Wake up. Sammy. Sam," Jake says a little louder.

"5 more minuets," I beg and burry my face in his chest. Then the bastard tickles me and I instantly start screaming and unattractively laughing. "Stop. I am up. Please. I am going to pee," I beg.

He laughs and gives me a quick peck, a slap on the ass, and demands I go pee and get ready to go eat food with my parents. Bossy.

"I am not the bossy one little frizz, that would be you," Jake laughs while heading to his closet.

After fixing myself in the bathroom I come out and see him putting his shirt on. He looks up and sees me staring at him. I decide to own it and walk up to him and give him a kiss over his heart. He shivers and I chuckle.

"You are beautiful," I mumble. I grab the sweatshirt he was about to put on and put it on me. I have always wanted to steal my man's clothes, I just never had a man to do it to.

"That is supposed to be my line. I am not beautiful. I am sexy, handsome, chiseled, a God-"

I throw my hand over his mouth and he licks it. Does he think that will deter me? "Your ego is bigger than your muscles and that says something. Lets go eat dinner you dork, before Ethan busts through and protects my honor," I huff.

"He will come around. I promise. Even if he doesn't, you know I could kick his ass."

"Make sure you fight dirty. Pull his man braids. I love my brother but you took a bullet for me, he needs to accept that this is a thing."

"He will. He is just protective. I am too. It will be nice though, he will chase away the boys when I am not around. Come on my queen, your chariot awaits," he turns around so I can jump on his back.

"Ego be damned you are perfect. Now fucking hurry up. I hate how cliche we are, but I also love it," I mumble.

"Ben is here. I know he is your close friend I respect that. However, if I was like that with a close girl friend how would you feel? I am trying not to control you. You can keep your relationship the same just don't be angry when I kick his ass, spank yours, and kiss you stupid." He mumbles while walking downstairs. I think about what he says and realize he's right. I'd be uncomfortable with him being like that with a girl.

We get downstairs before I can reply. Everyone stops and looks at us and my nom squeals out how we are so cute while her and Myra discuss us like we are not standing here.

"We get it. You are in a relationship. Do you have to ride him around and lay on him all the time? I am sick and tired-"

"Yes Ethan, we do. Say something again and I will put my queen down and kick your ass," Jake threatens while walking to the table.

"You want to go pretty boy? Let's go," Ethan puffs.
