    Then he stood up, saying "Finish your bath.  Dinner is waiting outside for you."  He then left the bathroom. 
    Once more Sam felt overwhelmed by the emotions that were overtaking her.  She stepped out of the luxurious bath tub, got her towel and dried herself almost mechanically.  Thoughts of Jim were just swirling around in her head.  There was something so gentle yet strong about him.  She felt as if she was on the verge of tears, but she fought them bravely.  She put on a pretty little house dress, and joined Jim outside.

Room service had out done themselves preparing a sumptuous dinner.  They tucked into the fine food and laughed and talked through out the dinner.  Jim served coffee and dessert out on the veranda in the moonlight. Dessert was a to die for chocolate mousse, worth every calorie.  Sam had a great time.  They danced after dessert to music only heard in their hearts.  It had been a beautiful night.
     Jim kissed her goodnight outside of her suite and said:"Goodnight Sam."
     She smiled at him as she turned to go into her suite of rooms in his penthouse.  She drifted onto her bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Sam woke during the night.  She sat up and began to think about all that was happening in her life. It was only a few days before she had to leave Las Vegas.  She didn't want to think about it, but she had to get back to work.  It was going to be strange with her Mom not around.  And what about Jim?  How could she lieave him at this point?  She was just getting to know him, and finding herself getting more and more attached to him.  She enjoyed every moment she spent with him.  What a precious time they had together at dinner.  Their conversation flowed as if they were thinking the same exact thoughts.  Once or twice they even said the same thing together like a duet, and burst out laughing each time.  She laughed to herself at the thought of some of the jokes Jim told her. She lay back down on the bed.

okay, rolling up the sleeves of my bathrobe....


Sam awoke the next morning to Jim bringing her a tray of breakfast to her bedside.  She sat up and slowly blinked the sleep out of her eyes. Then covered her head up with the blanket.
"Get out. I look horrible." She mumbled from under the covers.
"Okay. I brought you breakfast with coffee." Jim said. He closed her bedroom door and left the room.  Sam bolted out of her bed into the bathroom and washed her face and combed her hair.  She put a bathrobe on and then poked her head out of the bedroom door. She heard Jim puttering around the penthouse and hollered out to him: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No." He answered back. "Come on out and bring the tray."
San picked the tray up off of the bedside table and carried it out to the breakfast nook area.  Jim had his breakfast set up.  The patio doors were open and a breeze filtered into the room from outside.

After breakfast the phone rang and Jim spoke for a minute. He came out to the patio and said "Sam, if it's okay with you, I have scheduled a massage." Sam said, "Oh that's great.. I will go shopping... or read at the pool... I'll be fine!" "What?? No! I booked it for both of us!," he said. Just then the penthouse doorbell rang. Jim escorted in the man and woman, each carrying a massage table, a basket of scented oils and some fluffy white towels. After undressing and coming out in a robe, Sam was surprised that it was the man who motioned for her to lie down on the table he had set up. The woman got Jim ready next to her. The drapes were pulled and the lights were low. Music from somewhere played quietly in the background. During the massage Sam occasionally spoke with Jim quietly, then softly moaned as her muscles relaxed and she drifted in and out of a serene slumber.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Sam became aware that the door closed as the masseuses left, although she was still slightly napping. Jim whispered, "Looks like a storm's coming in, I saw some flickers of lightening in the distance." "Ohh I love storms," said Sam. Suddenly a crack of thunder crashed outside. Sam let out a little scream! Jim stood close by and said "Don't worry, we are safe here." Sam gathered the towel around her and sat up. Jim put his arms around her and kissed her forehead. Sam kissed him back, biting his lower lip playfully. BOOM! the thunder crackled right overhead. The rain was really coming down now. Jim took Sam by the hand and led her to the bedroom, and shut the door behind them. The wild desert storm raged on, rain lapping at the windows as the wind screamed outside.

Okay here goes.....
      Sam and Jim were having lunch at a Sushi restaurant off of the strip later in the afternoon. They had gambled a little bit in the casino.  Then went off to a private lunch. Jim knew of this little Sushi bar with all you can eat Sushi.   They were having great conversation and making plans to see a show later in the evening.

"SURPRISE!!!" The suite was filled with all Samantha's friends! Her first instinct was to run! Everyone applauded and cheered. Sam was stunned. She looked at Jim, who was grinning ear to ear. "Happy Birthday Baby," he said. "I forgot," Sam laughed "I forgot my own birthday!" Sam looked around. Her friends Sue and Maria ran up and hugged her! Her cousins and her aunt were clapping and jumping up and down! Next to them was Barbara and her husband, Sam's work friend Jimmy and their boss Gene, even her transplant coordinator Carol! Her neighbors were, there, as well as her friends from dialysis, including Lucy, and her boyfriend too. Even her mom and Darrell were there. Her mom grabbed her and said, "Isn't it wonderful?! Jim sure surprised you! I can tell, you didn't have a clue!!" Sam smiled and stifled a sob. She felt overwhelmed and said "I need to sit down." Jim took her arm and got her a drink from the bar. She saw a catered buffet, a cake, and hotel staff carrying trays of hors d' oeuvres into the room. Bottles of champagne were popping like crazy. "Are you okay?" asked Jim. "Yes, but it's all so incredible." she said. "You are crazy!" and she gave him a little punch in the arm. Jim smiled.

The scheme was not acted upon.  We drove by the Belagio on the way to the Olive Garden for lunch.  Kit had chicken marsala and moi had chicken parmiagiana, with salad and bread sticks it was way too much as usual.  Good thing my drug paraphernalia and insulin were close at hand.  Las Vegas is a wonderful town but daddy prefers surfing the web to feeding the slots.

...finally get things right.  Sam, will you marry me?"
He had gotten down on his knees in front of Sam, and held the most perfect looking engagement ring in his hand.
Sam did not know what to do.   Everyone was waiting, seemingly holding their collective breath.....



Sluff, it is really nice that you joined us in contributing to the story.  It would be great if many others would do the same.

Goofynina, I don't want this story to end yet.  We need some more complications, like an old girlfriend of Jon's turning up and thinking Jim is Jon, and stuff like that.  Sam's life always has these unforeseen complications that threaten to throw her off whack!  What do you other guys think?

Kitkatz and Livecam, we need some authentic material, straight from Las Vegas please!  I have none; I haven't been west of New York, in the US!
