Ivy hasn�t seen Sam in a while from the last time they have spoken. She hated the fact that they left on bitter terms. She is working on the idea of getting Sam back into her life. The question is will her plan succeed? She did her last touch ups on her makeup and gave herself a pat on the back. �You look lovely today, Ivy.� She told herself. �And Sam will want you back.� She flashed an evil grin and made it to her doctor�s appointment. She overheard Eve talking to Grace on the phone. �Grace, you�re coming back in three months? I thought you�ve said this trip was only for two weeks?� Eve asked dryly.

�I know, Eve. But I didn�t intend for this bake sale to go off extremely well. I will call Sam tonight and tell him that my trip is extended.� Grace replied. �Good luck, he�s going to be one miserable camper.� Eve chuckled and hanged up. Ivy rushed to her doctor�s office before Eve could see her. So Grace is not coming back until three months later . . . this is an opportunity for me to bring Sam back into my life. Hopefully, he�ll be merciful on me. Ivy smiled to herself. Before she knew it, she bumped into Sam. �Hello Sam, I didn�t see you . . . there.� She paused. �Nice to see you too, Ivy.� He narrowed his eyes at her.

�Hope to see you sometime soon.� Ivy flirted casually. �Whatever.� He grumbled under his breath. �Sam, whether you know it or not, I got a very good feeling you will need me more than you think.� She is delighted that things might be going her way if she play her cards right.

Sam saw Luis standing over there in the waiting room. �What�s going on, buddy?� Sam beamed. �Hey Sam, Sheridan is giving birth to our third child!� He explained. �Then, what are you waiting for, Luis? Go to your wife!� He cheered on. �I will, I�m just waiting for them to let me know if it�s okay or not to go in.� The nurse walked up to them. �Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald told me to tell you that she needs you so to speak.� She glinted at him. Luis jumped for joy and gave Sam a hug and followed the nurse.

Sam shook his head and he received a phone call. He answered the phone and it was Grace on the other end. He had listened to her carefully and sadly hanged up after she said goodbye. After Ivy had her examination, she fixed her eyes on Sam. Just when she was about to leave. Sam came up to her and pulled her to the side. �Ivy, can we talk for a minute?� He softly responded. �Sure. What about?� Ivy blankly stared at him. �I wanted to say I�m sorry for yelling at you and I didn�t mean to humiliate you.� He confessed as Ivy�s eyes grew wider with curiosity. �Why the sudden change?� Ivy shrugged slightly.

�I admit I was wrong and I had no right . . . to treat you the way that I did. Would you like to out for a ride with me?� Sam suggested. �Yes, I would love to.� She instantly remarked. �Great. Shall we?� He held out his arm to her and escorted her out the hospital. Sam closed the passenger�s door and buckled up as soon as he got in. Ivy dreamt of this and her dream is finally coming to past. She�s not going to push her luck but she will make a little effort by nudging some thoughts into his mind.

�How�s Ethan?� He started the conversation. �I wouldn�t know. He hardly speaks to me but Theresa told me he is doing exceptionally well.� She tried to smile nevertheless, Sam knew better. He could tell she is quite sadden by their son�s reaction towards her and made little attempt to make amends with her.
Sam sighed a bit and reached for her hand. �Has he made any progress with you?� She wanted to stop talking about herself. �Some, but not enough. Ivy, you know this wall between us and Ethan will not stand forever.� He pointed out. �I know that. It�s so complicated to make him see from my standpoint.� She flustered somewhat. �I know, but you got to try harder, Ivy. You got to make him understand.� he sagely advised. �How will I make him understand when he can�t possibly bear to stare at me!?� She blurted out.

�I don�t know.� He mumbled. �I wouldn�t want to press my luck just yet. Ethan is very stubborn, there�s a slight possibility he�ll come around.� At least, he tried to sound half convincing. Ivy looked at the stars. �I guess, but there is nothing more disappointing than to see my own son despising me for what I have done. Not that I don�t blame him.� She said out of self pity. �Ivy, you�re being way too hard on yourself. You got to give him time. Let it absorb through him and then see what will happen. Okay?� He lifted a brow at her.

�All right.� She gave in. Deep down, she knows that Sam is precise about everything he has mentioned to her and she couldn�t deny it. Sam put the car in park and stepped out. He opened the door for Ivy. �Sam . . . where are we?� She said in total awe. �Remember? This used to be our favorite spot?� He held her hand. �Yes, I remember.� She softly answered.

�I want to think upon good things . . . I want to know how you are doing now ever since Julian pulled the plug on himself.� He replied out of sympathy. �Yea, such a tragedy.� She hoarsely commented. �How are you holding up from it?� He wondered. �It�s been hard. Although, it�s not too rough. I�m trying to cope with living as a widow and learning to adjust with living alone.� Her tear stained eyes glanced at him. �Is there anything I can do for you?� He offered. �I don�t want to be a bore to you, Sam. Certainly, you have your wife to go home to . . .� She let it slipped.

�Not anymore, I don�t.� He griped. �What�s wrong, Sam?� Ivy coaxed him with her touch. �I don�t like to tell my business but Grace won�t be back in three months.� He complained. �Really? Why won�t she be back?� Ivy queried. �She�s having this bake sale with the church women. They�re raising a lot of money for charities and upcoming events in Harmony.� He sounded bored. �Now, I don�t have her to comfort me.� Whether he knows it or not. He just invited temptation through his door. Ivy slyly smirked and is taking the opportunity to make it work. �Sam, I�m here whenever you need me.� She told him. �Whenever you feel you want to talk. Just call me. I�m only a dial away.� She laughed
dryly.

�Thanks Ivy. I needed this. It�s not so bad after all, talking to you as a friend.� He smiled and his words crushed her. �A friend?� She dryly asked. �Yes, I need someone to confide in.� He explained. �I see.� She whispered. �I�m your confidant.� she gave a faux grin and turned to the river. �Ivy, did I say something to offend you?� Sam walked up to her and touched her arm gently. She shook her head immediately without letting her tears show.
She had too much pride in her to let him see her fall. On the contrary, Ivy is not a quitter. She finally faced him and watched his every move. She observed how his features are still comely as ever, the way she�d remembered it.

Sam seemed a tad puzzled. �Something wrong, Ivy?� Ivy dropped her bottom lip and finally responded. �I . . . uh. Was just contemplating . . . that�s all.� She brushed it off. �Contemplating about what?� He dug deeper to find her answer. �About my son.� She lied. �I told you, we�ll work on Ethan together. Okay?� He embraced her and rocked her in his arms. Ivy felt so safe in his arms and knowing she doesn�t want to let him go. Not now, not ever.

This is way too important for her to throw in the towel. Sam studied her eyes meticulously. In a flash, his lips touched her romantically. After the ardent kiss between them, they looked at one another in total astonishment and kissed again. Oh my, I can�t believe this is happening to me! Sam kissed me and I didn�t have to push the situation to make it proceed! I must use Ethan as a leverage and make sure that Sam will not abandon me. Devious thoughts entered her mind. Ivy knows now that Sam allowed for this to continue and he wanted it just as much. �Sam, what was that for?� She blinked at him.

��What was what for?�� He beamed. �I wanted to do it.� He persisted with kissing her some more. Sam is determined to go further but something stopped him. �Sam, what did I do?� Ivy looked a little hurt and confused. �Nothing, Ivy, you didn�t do anything wrong. I can�t seem to contain myself.� He brushed his lips on hers and seized the moment with his passion. Sam�s hand traveled down Ivy�s back after he disengaged her clothes. Ivy didn�t hesitate with removing his garment either. Sam�s hands roamed down to her skirt and maneuvered her panties away from her delectable body.

Sam grabbed her and placed her on top of him. �Ivy, I want this so much.� He let out a guttural groan and he entered her as his shaft started speaking a universal language with her sweetness. She begged incredibly loud and asked for more. �Don�t stop, Sam. I want more.� She pleaded and as they reached each other�s climax, the heat surged on to another level of sexual gratification. Her hips undulated with his as their sweet kisses indulged and enfolded each other tenderly for this engaging night.
