The Ghost and Me, part 6

Part 6 Plans Are Discovered.

It was the first time that I went to sleep with Sam and woke up next to her. It was something that I was looking forward to in the future. Sam was lying towards me, still sleeping. So, I grabbed a lock of her hair and tickled her nose. Sam’s brushed her nose first, with the back of her hand, then she opened her eyes. She looked straight at me and started screaming.

Her voice was so loud, that I jumped out of bed without thinking. The screaming stopped as fast as it started, and I was wondering what had happen. Sam wrapped herself in the bed sheet around her body and was now looking around the room, with a wide eye expression. I couldn’t fathom what’s happened, until she said something,”You. I’m giving my body to Sam, for you!” Then it hit me it wasn’t Sam, it was Samantha.

I looked at her and didn’t know what to say. So, I grabbed my clothes and ran out of my room. I went into the bathroom, dressed and came back out. Samantha was out in the lounge room now, still wrapped in my sheets. She was sitting on the lounge and looked as if she was deep in thought, when I walked past her into the kitchen. I put the kettle on and came back out looking at Samantha’s back. I wondered what happened to Sam? Why was Samantha back in her body? I must have been thinking for a while, as the kettle started to pitch it’s loud whistle. So, I made tea and brought it to the table with two cups.

I sat at the table and said,”Cup of tea, Samantha.” She turned her head and her features changed a little, softening. She nodded her head and walked over. She still had the changes, that made her look like Sam. But, this was a different walk, a different attitude, I didn’t know what to make of it. Samantha sat across from me, still wrapped in the sheet. She sat if she’d been violated, legs drawn to her chest and all up on the chair. I sat there quiet, with so many questions running through my head. The main thoughts I had, which worried me, where was Sam? was she gone? and was I left with shell of a human being, who didn’t like me?

It was Samantha who started off,”I suppose your worried about Sam?” I nodded and said,”Yes. What’s happened? Are you alright?” Sam shook her head and started to cry. Now I didn’t know what to think, so I said,”Samantha can I help you? Tell me what you know?”

Then Samantha started to recount the past several days. She told me that she felt free of pain, when Sam had taken possession of her. She narrated the chat that she and Sam had in limbo, especially Sam’s story. She enjoyed the nether side and that she was willing to let go for Sam, because she was happy. It was when she discovered that her body was pregnant, that she wanted to feel that experience, if only for a short time. And so, she took over from Sam, just before waking. She didn’t know that I was partially responsible for making Sam so happy, and she wanted to experience that feeling too. The last thing that she said was, all she wanted was to go on to meet her parents and be with them.

I listened intently, as this woman, or her human part, was going to be apart of my life. I needed to help her as much as I could, to get Sam back. I asked Samantha what the nether side was and she told me it was the place where you waited for the hereafter. You were free from pain and worry, love and hate, thought she didn’t understand how Sam felt so much for me. The next I asked her was the baby alright? Samantha grasp her stomach, smiled and said yes, he was. I was happy for that.

We sat there for a while, when Sam asked about my life, before coming to Sydney. I told her of my parents and sisters. How we loved each other, how we played as children, though we fought. I recounted when I had another girlfriend, several years ago. How she promised to be with me, but was sleeping with another, on the side. Then she broke her promise one day and left with the other male. I told her of my house and property, out near Young. I also told her why I came to Sydney, to find a new life and maybe leave the other behind. Samantha nodded and sat there for a while contemplating my life.

Then the strangest thing was said, by Samantha,”If I refused to let Sam take possession of me, and killed myself, what would you do?” I looked at Samantha and shook my head and said,”Are you that selfish. I’d not only loose Sam, but you too. Sam may have your body, but I’ve made love to both of you. We have a child growing and I’d have nothing to live for.” Samantha was taken back by my statement. It was now that she realised that it wasn’t just her and Sam, but the four of us.

Samantha started crying again when she looked at me and said,”Adam take me and make love to me please.” I stood up and walked around to Samantha. The sheet fell to the floor as Samantha stood up, and I escorted her to my bedroom once more. Samantha was different, thought not so much and only something that I could distinguish.

I laid her down on the bed and stripped off my clothing, once more. I thought that Samantha wanted to feel what Sam had felt with me. So, I lay next to her and started kissing her. Our mouths melted together as one. I realised that Samantha had her eyes closed, so as to savour the experience. It was then a voice in my head, that sounded like Sam’s, said,”Let me Adam. Let me take over and watch my love.” I kept kissing Samantha, when I thought to the voice that she could take over.

Then a flash happened inside my brain. It was a blinding white light, so brilliant, so pure, that I didn’t know what to make of it. Then I was wrapped or enveloped in another form and floating out of my body. It was as if something entered me, became me and I was moved away from myself.
I felt myself floating only inches above my body, looking at two naked humans, kissing.

We were naked, with a strange whitish orange glow surrounded us, in us. I could see that there was a second glow in Samantha, small, strange like. Then, I watched as I took Samantha into my arms and started kissing her earlobes.
