Capítulo 26: Chapter 26 Sam and Josh

I reach over and grabbed him into a hug and held him. He remains stiff for a few minutes and then breaks down and grabs my shirt, leans down and then starts crying into my shoulder. I hold him for about 15mins before he calms down and stops crying. His sniffles are quite loud next to my ear.

"Do you want to talk about what is going on?" I asked concerned.

Sam shook his head, "I will deal with it if that is what I need to do but I can feel Josh pulling away from me. He is pushing me to ask you to marry me but that is not what I want. I do love you, but it is a family love, you know brother to little sister. I also would not want to trap you into being alone in life and not having kids. If you were to marry me, it would be expected that we would have kids and as you know that is not my thing. I love Josh and sorry, but you are the wrong gender for me."

Sighing, "Sam did you ever ask me what I would want? Also, who said I could not have someone on the side as my... I don't know what to call a male mistress, maybe a mister? you know on the side that could be my boyfriend. As long as my husband does not care and my boyfriend on the side does not care why should I care that I am not married to him. There is a lot of reasons to marry you Sam. It would allow me a lot more freedom and protection as well. Also, I love how you always tend to shake your head no but still tell me what is going on with you."

Sam looked up and gave me a fake mad face that quickly turned into a smirk. "You are a brat but for me to consider this I need to know a few things and at least four solid reasons why we should get married. Other than those reasons, I will need to know what you would require IF we were to marry for me to keep to my husbandly duties. You know people are going to expect things from me that if I fail to do then they could push for a divorce saying that I am abusing a VR players wealth for no return."

I smirked, I thought to myself, 'I knew I would have him for this pretty easily, I didn't think that it would be so easy.' Out loud though I replied, "Well, let me see here. You need 4 reasons, hmmm..."

"OK, drama queen let's hear these four reasons already. No stalling I want them right this minute or I will no longer consider this option." Sam said cocky and full of amusement. "After all I am one hell of a catch and keep breaking hearts all the time."

Rolling my eyes at Sam, I smiled and put my finger on my chin pretending to think really hard. After about a minute I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Once I calmed down, "You want four reasons right now, number one, you are just that cool and we get along great. Number two, as my husband no one can force me to marry someone else or try to hook up with me, so I won't have to worry about Golddiggers and possible abuse. Three, you are amazing at cooking and will never take advantage of me while I am in the VR world. Four, with you beside me I will be safer, examples are in the first 3 reasons as well as well-fed and happy."

"I don't like that fourth reason as it is not a reason really." Sam said with a raised eyebrow.

I hated when he did that, I have always wanted to do that, but I never could figure out how to do it. "Sam, fine my fourth reason is that you will be happy and make Josh happy as well. That means all 3 maybe even four of us or five, if I have a kid and boyfriend or mister, will be happy with this all. You will never be jealous that I am interested in another guy and have another guy in my bed. Unless he is too hot, and you covet the idea of being with him." I said as I nudged him a bit with my elbow.

"Acceptable, fourth reason now. Happiness, safety, food and security are four good solid reasons to get married, plus you will be wealthy, so I don't have to worry about lacking luxuries." Sam replied shaking his head.

Laughing, I shook my head at him. Before I could say anything though a knock was heard on my door. Sam ran over and opened the door carefully. He blocked my view and whispered to the person outside the door. Finally, he stepped back and allowed me to see who it is. I was stunned and a bit ashamed that I forgot to head over to Father Gregory for my confession.

"Father, I am so sorry it has been so long. Will you still hear my confession?" I asked scared for his refusal.

"My dear child, do not worry I was just coming to let you know that I just finished eating, I made sure all the kids ate before I did. I was coming to tell you that I was sorry you had to wait so long before I was ready for you and to check that you didn't wait and then come back to your room because I never showed up. I am very happy that is not the case. Also, if you both will be happy and accept me, I would be more than happy to offer my services as your minister for your wedding. Though I do not agree with a woman having more than one adult man in her life, as long as it makes you all happy then it must be God's will and grace for it to be. Though I do not like how he talked about you having wealth as a way for him to be happy. Greed is not a good trait and is a sin." Father Gregory replied.

His statement shocked both of us and made us look from him to us and back. We tried to keep a straight face but both failed and burst out laughing.

"Father, Josh was joking about me being wealthy. I am glad you can see that I do not want to tie myself down to just one person. I can help multiple people have a good life then I will. I was raised to be selfless and do my best to help others. Having a couple men in my life means I can help more people. I also plan to have Josh and one or two more people be security or bodyguards, as well as a butler and maid. I know that I will be wealthy, so I am trying to help out others as well as help out this orphanage as a patron. I do not what to be like those snobby rich people who hoard the wealth and watch people suffer from their huge mansions and do nothing for their city other then put money into the community by buying so much of everything that others starve, or the prices raise so people can barely survive the winter and everyday life. Even worse are those that buy and have things shipped into their home while in their own city, they have crops and what not going to waste do to not enough people having money to buy anything." I went quite serious at the end of that speech as it was a serious matter to me.

"My child, you are a good person and I wonder what I am going to hear in your confession that is so dire to hear. Please do come down to the chapel I will be waiting for you." Father Gregory replied and turned to walk away, pausing he said, "Also I still would like to offer my services as your minister for your wedding, if you decide to get married."

Sam and I both watched Father Gregory walk down the hall and turned to look at each other. Just then Josh showed up and there were a few dings on my VR set screen. I turned and walked over to my screen and looked at it. I had a few replies saying never mind to the job offer then if they could not ensure that there was a job waiting when they got there. But the 2 family members both said they would come and were hopeful as well as Josh replied and said he would like the job.

"Well, it looks like I missed something, while I was away. Care to fill me in, I heard the word wedding, so I take it you are going to take my advice Sam? Also, you managed to convince him yourself just fine Marie. I would like all the details but before that, Marie, I replied to your offer and message. Also, I got the baker to say that if you want the small place for now until you find something better you are welcome to rent my old home. You can keep my stuff or cast it aside at your whim, so the baker's wife wished you to know as well." Josh said with a gleam in his eye.

"Sam will catch you up, I need to go follow Father Gregory for my confession." I said winking twice to them both. Giggling, I also said, "Though stay off my stuff AND bed this time please. I have to lay there and don't need wet spots again."

Both of them went beat red and were stunned into silence. Josh was shaking his head and Sam had his jaw dropped. I headed down the hall laughing until tears streamed down my face.

"Sam, so you decided to listen to me and actually talk to Marie about it instead of flat out refusing. I am so happy and proud of you for it." Josh said nudging Sam into the room and closing the room door.

The moment the door shut; Josh kissed Sam hungerly on the lips. Sam was stunned and almost forgot to return the favor. He managed to recover though after about ten seconds.

"Josh, you were right, and Marie did have a possible plan in place for it. I was so wrong, thank you so much!!!" Sam said to Josh with tears in his eyes.

All of a sudden, a few things happened all at once. It took a while to figure out what happened first, middle and last and still not sure the proper order. First off, a loud pounding sound was heard on Marie's door, then a high pitch scream was heard. Someone yelled for help and then a very loud crash was heard. Last Josh and I heard another person yell, "Stop him! Please someone, he has Marie."
