"Je vous aime"(I love you) Came the familiar French voice belonging to Koi from the kitchen.
"Je vous aime, aussi" ( I love you, too) Sammy answered, strolling into the kitchen in a pair of jeans.
"Did I ever tell you.." Koi jumped into his lovers arms. "That I'll never leave you?" He yawned.
Sammy nodded. "Every day" He carried Koi upstairs. "And I'll never get tired of it" Sammy Martinez smiled.
It had to be two am by the time Sammy Martinez-Mathews awoke sharply on his desk. "What?" He rubbed his eyes before
picking up a folded piece of notebook paper left by the maid, no less.

'Finished up the kitchen and went home' It read. 'Be back tomorrow at 8. Gina has a Drs appt at nine'
-Michelle'
Sammy's mother always nagged him that he didn't need a maid. Sammy always shrugged this off. His mother didn't live with him, she didn't know.
This excuse was getting old. Sammy's desk consisted of a few things. Laptop, pad of yellow paper, and a pen that doesn't work anymore.
Sammy and Gina lived in the wood house near Vega Lake. Few people lived here, so the quite-ness was nice. Not to mention the wildlife.
Deer,Fish,geese. The birds were everywhere. Especially the crows.
Squak!
Sammy jumped out of his chair at a black bird landing outside his window.
Montana was nice but Sammy always felt the urge to travel. Even if his sister was constantly annoyed with him.
It all started in Romania.
(flashback)
Sammy Adrein Martinez lay in the sharp green grass of the Arad region of his new homeland of Romania. Exactly one
month ago he, his mother (Anna Skeffington) and his sister (Gina Martinez) moved to Romania directly from France,
where Anna was from.
Gina Martinez never knew her father, but Sammy did. Vaguely. If it weren't for the photographic evidence, there
wouldn't be many memories. Looking at photos saying "I remember that! Daddy and I went somewhere and did something"
For Gina, Daddy was never a word used in the house where she grew up. Just mommy and Sammy. or..Sam-Sam when Gina
was a baby.
Steven Martinez came to France from America to look for love. He found it. And two children afterwards.
"I want to stay in France, get closer to my heritage" Steven told Anna when the word 'Divorce' "graced" their lips almost
everyday.
"I want to stay in France and stay closer to my family." Anna protested. So, naturally, one of them had to get out of the
country.
Sammy shrugged his head, trying to clear his thoughts of Europe. He lived in America now. He was a citizen.
He could recite the anthem and everything. That was something to be proud of right there. He typed on his laptop so that
the word 'Anthem' appeared on the screen.
Atop of the word Anthem appeared a name. But just any name. The most important name in the world. This isn't a pope's name
nor any type of leader's name. But a (seemingly) normal man's name.
Koi James Matthews.
A sigh escaped Sammy's mouth as he ran his finger down his screen. "Koi..." His whispered, moving from the desk and collapsing on the double sized
bed not far from where he was "working". Koi and Sammy once shared a history together.
"KOI!" Sammy shouted, laying on his back, after not being able to clear his thoughts and fall asleep.
"YES, MY LOVE?" Gina yelled upstairs, mocking him.
Sammy smirked at Gina's remark. "I NEED YOU"
"I need you like I need water in my lungs” Gina rolled her eyes, walking upstairs to her brother.
Sammy rolled his eyes upon seeing Gina. "Wow, you unusually nice tonight" He mocked.
"Kelsea asked me to go out tonight but I told her I couldn't go because my brother was being the psycho
that he is"
Sammy yawned. "You can go...just don't get in any mob trouble because then Sammy Martinez is gonna
have to kick some Gangster ass and I...well, I retired"
Gina smiled and kissed her brother on the cheek. "But I'm still a mafia princess," Gina laughed, skipping away.
"ONLY IN ROMANIA" Sammy shouted after her.
"Je vais vous attraper!" (I'm going to catch you!" )A sixteen year old Sammy chased a light browed hair boy
through a meadow of grass.
"NO YOUR NOT!" The skinny brown haired boy called back, leaping trying to gain speed.
Sammy tackled him.
"Told you I'd catch you"
"What do you want from me?"
"I don't want anything from you...I just want you" Sammy tried to kiss the boy, but he moved his head to the right, avoiding it.
"WHY?"
"Because your hot" Sammy said, licking Koi's cheek. Koi's look of disgust was enough for Sammy to get off of the boy. "Guess you don't feel that way about me, huh?"
"Lie" Koi said, jumping on Sammy.
Sammy held on to Koi. "So...we're goin' out?"
Koi shook his head. "No, you have to ask me." he paused. "Properly"
"Properly?"
"I mean...like...show up at my house and ask me to go out with you or something. Don't just tackle me to the ground when I open the door.
...I almost had a heart attack!"
"...yeah I'm sorry about that." Sammy blushed.
