Walking through Sun hill to the changing rooms, Callum and Smithy are getting changed to go to the pub. "What you doing for Valentine's Day?" Smithy smiled to Callum, "I have no one to spend it with, what about you?" Smithy turned to Callum, "I have no one to spend it with either." Callum laughed.
"What's so funny?" Callum walked over towards Smithy, "I know you like Stevie, and this is the perfect opportunity." Smithy turned his back to him to reach for his shirt, "We're just friends."
Callum looks at him, "Everybody knows you like her just from the way you look at her, and are you forgetting what you did to Devlin?" Smithy sighs. "I can't tell her…." Callum interrupts "Why not?" Smithy looks him straight in the eye "Just because, now are you ready to go to the pub?"
As they arrive at the pub, the two men order their drinks and sit down, ten minutes later Stevie walks in with Jo and Terry, She smiles to Smithy, he smiles back. "Look Smithy all she does is walk in and you can't take your eyes off her" Smithy isn't listening to Callum, he is watching Stevie intently.
As a few hours pass, the alcohol flows through and Smithy is still staring at Stevie. "Smithy are you listening to me?" Smithy turns to Callum "Sorry mate what were you saying?" Callum sighs "If you don't tell her I will" Smithy glares at him, "Why is it so important to you?" Callum leans closer, " I know what it's like to have loved someone and not tell them, your my mate I don't want that happening to you" Smithy is thinking about it " What if she doesn't want me?" Callum laughs "Ask anybody at the station and they will tell you she loves you and you love her everybody can see it but you two."
The following day, there is a knock on his door, he smiles as he realises it's Stevie as she walks over to him. "I need a few bodies for a raid" Smithy smiles, "okay Ben, Leon and Kirsty are free?" Stevie smiles "Great." She walks out of the room followed by Smithy, "Wait … I just wondered what you were doing for Valentine's Day? Stevie turns to face him, "Alone on the sofa watching TV" Smithy smiles again "Me too" Stevie starts to walk away "See you later."
At lunch Callum is sat in the canteen reading the paper, Smithy pulls up a chair opposite him, "This pains me to say this but your right and I need your help" Callum looks up at him, "I know I'm right and how do you want my help?" Smithy leans into him so nobody else can hear him, " I have a plan I am going to need to get into her flat though but her keys are in her coat pocket and I can't get to them without her seeing" Callum nods "You want me to distract her?" Smithy smiles "Yes"
Both men head up to a fairly empty CID, Mickey, Terry and Stevie are all sitting at Banksy's desk chatting away, "You know the plan?" Callum nods "Let me go and distract her and I will throw you the keys." Callum walks over to Stevie, "Stevie can I have a word?" They walk over to her desk, "I can't figure out what to do on this case." While she is explaining how to fix his problem, Callum reaches into her coat pocket which is hanging on her chair and grabs her keys. "Is that a bird?" They all look around and Callum throws Smithy the keys, Smithy walks out of CID and waits for Callum in the locker rooms. "I must be seeing things, thanks Stevie."
Callum walks to the changing rooms and shuts the door behind him. "Thank you Callum" Callum opens his locker "let's get changed and set it all up then." Smithy smiles "Thanks again." The two men get changed, jump into Smithy's car and head to Stevie's flat. As they get inside Smithy notices the photos she has in her flat of the many nights down at the pub. "Who's that?" Callum points to one of her photos on the wall. "She said that was her sister." Callum smirks "she's hot." "Callum focus" Callum looks at him "Sorry I got side-tracked." Smithy nods "Can you set up the table in the kitchen?" Callum goes into the kitchen.
He lays out a beautiful white and red table cloth, and lays out two placemats, two plates and two wine glasses, before putting rose petals in between the two places. He slots in a cd into her machine and joins Smithy in the living room.
Smithy has decorated the bedroom and is now putting the wine on her table and laying out a few cards to her on the sofa. He puts in her favourite movie and dims the lighting.
Callum and Smithy have finished, "If this doesn't show her how much you love her I don't know what will" Smithy looks around "Thanks Callum you a good mate." Callum nods "If you tell anybody that I am nice I'll kick your arse." Smithy smiles "Agreed" Callum grabs his coat "I'll leave you to ring her and get on with the night then while I spend it alone again." Smithy suggests "Try the bar on Ridge Street I hear her sister Tasha works there." Callum grins "thanks Smithy." Callum leaves.
Smithy pulls out his phone and dials Stevie's number. "Stevie I need to talk to you, I will meet you at your place in fifteen minutes." He puts the down and is nervously waiting for Stevie to arrive, in the doorway to her living room.
Stevie walks up the stairs to her flat and sees her keys in her door with a note with an arrow pointing into her flat. As he hears her front door being pushed open. The nerves build up inside him. She follows the arrows all over her walls, to Smithy standing nervously in her lounge.
He watches her as she walks towards him, smiling at her as she looks confused. "I have something to tell you."
