Everlasting Love
AN: This is my take on what happened after season 5, ep11; this ties in with my other story Marlo's Vendetta. I always thought that the scene at the start of season 6, ep1 wasn't enough and that we needed more information about their vacation. Read and review please.
I woke up this morning feeling really stiff; my ribs were still slightly tender from last night; Marlo placed the bomb on the hard drive, she wanted me dead so that she could raise her baby with Sam. Sam had been so careful and so loving last night. He held me close the whole night.
Sam was lying on his side beside me in bed "Good morning, McNally" I turned my head slightly "It's way too early" he laughed "Well you will be glad to know that we have three weeks off."
I sat up as carefully as I could "Really? What are we going to do for three weeks?" Sam said "Oliver gave us the cabin for three weeks." I smiled… three weeks with Sam in a cabin in the woods. "Really? That's great. Three weeks with you all alone with you is perfect" he looked at me "you're perfect" I blushed.
I said "We need to pack" Well Sam packed both bags; he left the underwear for me to pack, I packed the leopard print lace teddy that I was going to wear under my dress at the commissioners gala. He is worried about me because I was lucky to escape an explosion like that. When he found me he had tears in his eyes. He claimed it was smoke, but I know him and I know that he was just trying to be badass.
I was still feeling the effects of being blown across the room when the bomb went off. We got to the cabin later that day and looked around.
Sam explained that the last time he was here, there was hardly any furniture, and it was covered with dust and filth. He told me he also confessed to Oliver that he wanted a future with me; considering he was with Marlo at the time.
We got our stuff and took it to our room. Sam made sure I didn't carry anything to heavy. He carried our bags up the stairs; I carried my oar. He was being so sweet, so caring and so protective. We decided to chill out for a couple of hours.
Sam turned to me "you ok McNally?" I looked at him "yeah, I'm good. Great even" he just smiled at me. I know I am being quiet but I am just so happy that Sam and I are going to be alone for three weeks with no interruptions.
We began to talk about what we were going to do for three weeks. I wanted to go hiking and fishing, whereas Sam wanted to swim in the lake and sit on the porch drinking beer. I turned to him "Sam, hiking is so much better; you get to see everything around you." He looked at me "McNally, you can see everything in the lake too" I sat there trying to come up with a plan to get him to go on a hike with me.
I remembered the leopard print lace teddy. I told Sam I was going up the stairs. I got to the bedroom, I got my bag and found the teddy. I put it on and went back down to the lounge. I cleared my throat and Sam turned round. "What do you think?" he was speechless; his mouth was hanging open, "Close your mouth Sam, you'll catch flies" he stared at me "McNally, was this the something underneath your dress for the gala?" I giggled "do you still have a thing for leopard print?"
He nodded. "Yeah I do…. Bed now" I giggled as he picked me up and carried me up to the bedroom. Best vacation ever.
