Behind It All
Sam groaned in her sleep as the California sunlight crept through her curtains, annoyed at the annoying wake up call. She sat up before rubbing her eyes trying to remove the last remainder of sleep in them before she turned to her side and noticed that Tom's side of the bed was empty, then she remembered he was working night shift and wouldn't be home till later that morning, she was grateful for this. Before she yawned, she picked up her phone which lay near her alarm clock. Picking it up as she did so, she noticed she had a message from Lewis. She slid the bar across the screen and taped on the unread message
From Lewis
Hey! I'm so sorry if this wakes you because of the time difference. But I just thought I'd text to see how you are, we haven't really spoken much since you moved to America, I hope you are well. And things are great with Tom. Hope to hear from you soon, I and Zoe are very happy, and when we've got some time off, we're planning on visiting you and Tom. If that's okay with you guys. Let me know anyway. Hope everything's good L x
Sam couldn't help but smile at the message, she'd hadn't spoken to Lewis much because she'd been so busy with her work in America and setting up home with Tom. She quickly pressed on reply button.
Hey There Stranger, and no you didn't wake me. I was already awake. Long time no talk. I'm very good thank you and I'm happy to hear about you and Zoe( see I knew you had a thing for her, and you wouldn't admit to it) how are things back at Holby? How's Zoe coping without her two best doctors ;). I hope you guys can get some time off it'll be nice to see you and Zoe again! Keep me updated :)) xo
Before Sam hit the send button, she sighed to herself. She did miss Holby a little bit because America was some where new so it was understandable that she missed her old work place a little and missed her old colleagues.
But was that the reason? She thought back to the last time she saw Lewis. The hug goodbye. The feeling in the depth of her stomach telling her to turn back. It made no sense. Sure she was close to Lewis but that wasn't it.
Something laid deep down behind it all. But she wasn't sure what that was. She thought back to the time when Lewis said that they could never be because of the fact that she had been one of his clients.
But she was with Tom wasn't she. She loves Tom. So why on earth was she feeling like this?
None of it made any sense. But something laid behind it all. She knew that. And it was about to get a lot worse the next time she saw Lewis. She thought nothing more of him as she went for her morning shower letting the warm water soothe her skin.
