“I don’t like people, but you’re an exception.” W/ Sammy boy & Mama

Here ya go honey :D!

“God damn it!” Mama exclaimed as one of her machines broke down yet again. It was the fourth time it happened today, and her patience was running thin. Even though Mama was a mechanical genius, there were days where she too lost her stride. As Sam ventured into her humble abode to get a new delivery, he sighed and looked in her direction seeing Mama fussing about.

“Hey, let me help.” Sam offered, going over towards the broken down computers and began to help Mama make repairs. Sam didn’t know much about computers, little if anything, but he wanted to offer a hand. Being a loner, Sam understood how difficult it could be not having help when it was needed. There were times he too regretted severing most of his connections with folks especially when he couldn’t think outside the box in a situation.

“I think I got this Sam, you don’t need to trouble yourself.” Mama said, trying to dismiss him but to no avail. It was as if her words went through one ear and out the other. She couldn’t help but smile at his stubbornness before Sam grunted.

“I don’t know jack about computers, but I know how to get the power back on.” Sam said proudly, managing to connect a few of the cords together and watched with Mama at how some of the screens came back online. Mama nodded in approval, giving a small round of applause before she turned her attention towards Sam.

“I’m impressed. This is why I like you.” Mama said, her tone teasing as Sam let out a chuckle.

“I thought you hated people.” Sam said, trying to correct her in a playful manner before Mama held up a hand to silence him.

“I don’t like people, but you’re an exception.” Mama said as a matter of fact, making Sam’s barely noticeable smile widen. He felt proud to be her main porter, the one she called on the most for help with deliveries among other things. Between most of the clients he assisted, Sam enjoyed helping Mama out the most. She understood his need to keep his distance and didn’t badger.

“You have any cargo that needs to be delivered?” Sam asked as Mama nodded, deciding she wouldn’t fiddle around with her machinery for the time being. Sam already got the power back on and that was enough for her.

“Yeah, but do you want anything to snack on? It’s my treat.” Mama offered. She knew Sam didn’t like staying for too long, but it was worth a shot. She was surprised to see him nod, looking sincerely happy for once. It was a rare feat to see in a man such him.

“We should talk too, Sam.” Mama said, watching the porter furrow his brows. Concern etching itself into his features.

“Something wrong?” He asked.

Mama shook her head, feeling her cheeks flush a little. “It’s nothing too big. Let’s eat first, alright?”

Mama didn’t know how she was going to do it, but it was about time she had come clean about a few things: one, she liked Sam and two, she had a BT problem. Something most folks didn’t know about her yet she trusted Sam with. She hoped the risks telling Sam would be worth it.
