100 Days With Mr Romero

Emma picked her cell phone that had been ringing consistency for a minute now after a good thought.

Sam had been calling her and she was mad at him for his behavior the other day. She wondered what his thoughts will be if she fails to answer his calls so she decided to answer.

Knowing about Sam’s bipolar and how emotional he could be, she picked the call to avoid further complications since she is bent on making him feel better lately. She reminded herself that he had been a good friend who always wanted to see her cheerful therefore, she can’t afford to let him suffer.

“Hello Sam!” she responded.

“Can we meet at Frankston? ” he suggested.

“Sure. ” she quickly replied as if she was waiting for him to ask.

“Time? ” he asked

“7pm. ” sharp she replied.

At exactly 7pm, Sam was already seated in a brown suit with a white inner shirt. His white shoes were glowing as they always had. Emma smiled after recognizing him from behind. She adjusted her wristwatch while glancing at it. It was eleven minutes past 7pm. This is the Sam she knew. Never late and always on time.

“Hey! ” she greeted him with a smile while facing him.

“Hi. ” he said then quickly got up to pull a chair for her.

“Thank you. ” she said after seating.

“You look dashing. ” he complemented her.

“Thank you. ” she replied and bowed while he chuckled.

Emma was wearing a simple wine colored short dress with black heels.

Emma knew the essence of their meeting that night was for Sam to plead for forgiveness and apologize for his weird behavior the other day.

“This will do please. ” Emma pointed out from the menu card to the waitress who was standing beside her with an empty tray.

The waitress nodded and shifted to Sam’s side who gave his orders too.

“I am very sorry Emma for the other day. ” Sam begged folding his palms before Emma.

“How are you? ” she asked instead.

Sam smiled.

“I am very sorry Emma. ” he maintained.

“I’m good. ” he quickly added.

“We are good then. ” she said smiling.

The waitress had arrived with their orders and Emma was helping her to set the table.

“It will not happen again. ” Sam promised after the waitress left.

“It’s okay Sam. ” Emma assured him.

Meanwhile, Sam had expected Emma to ask for a specific reason on why he was acting weird the other day but she didn’t. It was evident Mike hadn’t spill the beans yet he thought.

“How’s work? ” asked Emma while pouring wine into her glass.

“Good. Good Good! ” replied Sam while nodding. he was struggling to cut a part of the salmon on his plate.

“Ah! ” exclaimed Sam while dropping his cutlery.

A thought just stroke him.

“There’s an annual General Meeting of SMITH’s bar and associate tomorrow morning but we are convening outside town tonight” he revealed while Emma nodded.

“All branches and units of my clubs across Chicago will be meeting to give a report. ” he explained picking his knife.

“It’s a business meeting and in line with your goal, I will like you to attend. ” Sam demanded.

“Of course. ” replied Emma after gulping wine from her glass.

“We leave tonight. ” announced Sam.

“You can drive with me. So we can leave immediately after this dinner. ” he requested.

“Of course. ” agreed Emma.

“I’ll get few things and then we will leave. ” said Emma and Sam nodded.

After their lunch, Sam drove Emma to her home then he waited for her to get some stuffs. Shortly later, she joined him in the car and he drove them outside town where the Annual General Meeting is to hold.

The AGM meeting of Sam’s clubs for the year was to hold in Davida Home: A five star hotel. Sam drove for almost 3 hours before they got there. After they alighted from the hotel in the parking lot, a group of note attendants rushed towards Sam and Emma. They helped them with their luggage.

After they got to the hotel reception, Emma stood by the corner of the place while Sam was at the counter. Emma noticed how he placed his right hand on his forehead displaying a sign of regret.

“What’s wrong? ” Emma asked after tapping him.

“I’m so sorry Emma. ” be said carefully pulling her to the corner she earlier stood.

“We booked this place to lodge our partners and head of branches for the meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning. ” he began.

“Seems like the whole place is already choked up coupled with the day’s guest. ” he further stated cleaning his face with his palms quickly.

“We couldn’t leave a slot to secure a room for you owing to the fact that I just gave you a short notice. The administration unit are not aware that you are part of the meeting so there was no reservation for you. ” explained Sam.

“I get it. ” admitted Emma.

“We can share your suite. ” she declared while Sam stared at her in amazement.

“If that’s okay with you by the way. ” she said folding her hands.

“Of course. Of course Emma. ” Sam agreed.

Shortly, Sam and Emma were led to a comfortable suit by the hotel attendants.

“This place is lovely. ” commented Emma while Sam was tipping the hotel attendants.

“And thankfully the bed is large enough. ” he joked and Emma giggled.

The hotel attendants were gone already. It was past 11:pm.

“We should get some rest now. ” Sam said heading for the bed.

“I’ll take a shower. ” Emma told him

“And I’ll take mine immediately you are done. ” he replied.

Emma showered and came out with a towel tied around her chest. Sam got up and headed for the bathroom and his eyes glared at Emma. Their eyes met and Emma quickly lowered her gaze while he headed for the bathroom.

Sam showered and came out in his boxers. Emma was already on the bed in her night gown. Sam went to the other side of the bed she had left out for him.

“We should sleep now. ” suggested Sam while Emma nodded.

“Good night. ” she said then turned the other way.

She couldn’t afford to sleep facing Sam especially with the heat she could feel emanating from the bed.

An hour later, Sam was screaming from his sleep which awakened Emma.
