Then he realised Samantha wouldn't see him nodding.
" Hmmmm."
He reached out and touched Samantha's hair. Samantha clinged.
He gently took her arm and hugged her.
" I can't, I just need a hug and I'll let her go."
He looked at her and brushed her lips with his lips. Samantha trembled.
" Should I start? No, If I do, I won't stop and I might not want to leave."
" This is Samantha, my Samantha.ill take a chance."
Samantha reached out and touched his face.
"I love you NIGEL, I love that you waited for this day patiently. You are a good man."
Thanos took a step back and stared at Samantha.
" It's me you have to say that to" He thought...His eyes lit up with determination.
He leaned in and placed his lips on Samantha's again. He closed his eyes and Samantha's entire body shuddered as his tongue lightly slipped across her's.
" His just one person...This is Nigel, Thanos is Nigel."
She waited for Thanos to come to his senses. Truth was that Samantha knew, it was Thanos there for all those six weeks, she wished to see Nigel but then again Lisa had said it was one person, so Thanos too was her husband.
But why did she feel like she was doing something wrong?
Thanos felt her hesitation...
" This is wrong Thanos, Will you hurt Sam,to get back at Nigel? you can't force her to love you?"
Thanos retreated.
" Am sorry Sam...I can't do this to you."
"I would never dream to do this, even in my night mare."
" Am a horrible person."
Thanos sat up on his knees, trembling, crying, his eyes tentatively looking at the naked defense less Samantha.
" I knew it was you Thanos, I saw under your facade the moment you came into my room pretending to be Nigel."
" I trusted you would do the right thing, because that is who you are."
He tried to speak but words wouldn't come out. He buried his face in his hands. He didn't know, how much time passed as he replayed what he had wanted to do.When he looked up to Samantha, her eyes glistened with a thin film of tears.
" Can you hand me a tower am starting to get cold."
He frantically searched around for a towel and wrapped it around Samantha. " If you knew, why didn't you say anything."
" Because I like you, you helped me a lot and you are a good person, that's why I let you name my son."
When talking to Thanos, she had to make sure to differentiate them because Thanos hated being compared to Nigel, he hated Nigel and Samantha wanted to know why.
" Why do you hate my husband that much?" Samantha asked him.
" Maybe, when we meet again, I'll be able to tell you my story."
Samantha nodded...
Nigel closed his eyes for a moment as if, to go with the picture of the Samantha that he kissed some minutes ago.
This was real.
" Samantha?... Aren't you cold?" Nigel said rushing over to Samantha.
The familiarity of his voice was startling. Samantha tried to speak but words wouldn't come out.
" Are you alright?"
As Samantha nodded, She realised Thanos had left and in his steady stood her husband Nigel.
" You are back?"
" Why am I naked and you..., His eyes took him to a wooden crib and the little human who slept in it.
