Narrowing her pretty grey eyes Samantha Nixon stared fixedly at the computer screen. The temptation to watch Phil and his new girlfriend Mia was extremely strong. Across the small room Sam could feel Neil watching her. A frown wrinkled across her forehead and her dainty nose wrinked as she struggled to fight the urge.

Shes got green eyes and she's 5'5
Long brown hair all down her back
Cadallac truck
So the hell what,
What so special about that

She used to model
shes done some acting
so she weighs a buck o 5 and i guess
she alright if PERFECTIONS what you like

Phil always did know how to choose them the dumb bimbos who couldn't add 1 add 1. She didn't know why she cared even more. After all Sam had broken up with Phil, not the other way round There was this tiny nagging voice in her head though.

"That could have been you, out there kissing him in the rain. That could have been you he's joking with. That could have been you if you'd just taken the risk"

"Jealous??" Neil asked with a small smirk

"No!" Sam scoffed a little too quickly, " They don't have a brain cell between them" thats why i love him he blunders in so cutely without an ounce of common sense.

She shook her head to shake out that voice. Her conscience was not something she liked.

oooooooo
and im not jealous no im not
oooooooo
i just want everything shes got
oooooooo
you look at her so amazed
i remember way back when you used
to look at me that way

"I just thought..." She began again as Neils head snapped up, "I guess i thought he'd try a bit harder to win me back. He said he loved me for God's sake!"

"But the word love and Phils mouth are old aquaintaces Sam," Neil mused.

Seeing the flash of hurt in Sam's eyes he quickly added,

"Of course Mia could be just a rebound,"

Sam shrugged giving in and gazing through the window. The girl was pretty sure. But Sam and Phil had so much chemistry, they always had. And what of that night in Romania, could Phil forget it so easily? Mia wasn't that much prettier than her was she?

Tell me
What makes her so much better than me
What makes her just everything i can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because i can remember when it was me

As Sam touched up her make up in front of the toilet mirror Jo exited a cubicle.

"Who's the lucky guy?" She asked washing her hands.

"I don't know what your on about," Sam frowned, "Can't a girl look good for herself?"

"Don't tell me you want to compete with Mia for Phil? Sam!"

"I don't. I broke up with Phil remember?" She shook her head, "Why don't you think i'm worthy competition?"

Jo rolled her eyes in exasperation,

"Phil Hunters not worth it. He's your typical love rat,"

"I know," Sam sighed.

And that you don't feel the same
I remember you would shiver every time i said your name
You said nothing felt as good as when you gazed
into my eyes
Now you don't care i'm alive
How did we let the fire die

"Decided to work today did we Phil?" Sam snapped as he entered CID dripping wet.

"Someone got out the wrong side of bed this morning," Phil snapped back annoyed to have his good mood challenged.

"Don't you dare chat back, your late and you can work through lunch to make up for it!"

"I'm five minutes late Sam, what the hell is your problem?"

"Its Guv to you," She turned and stormed back into the office.

"Well, you handled that well," Neil teased, "Definetly no jealousy there"

oooooooo
and im not jealous no im not
oooooooo
i just want everything shes got
oooooooo
you look at her so amazed
i remember way back when you used
to look at me that way

What makes her so much better than me
What makes her just everything i can never be What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because i can remember when it was me

Sam sighed and stared blankly at the screen once more. Her fingers unmoving, her page remaining blank and untyped on. It was going to take a long time to complete this paperwork. A memory flickered before her. Phil had ordered curry and they had stayed behind after work to complete paperwork, not long after her and Stuart had split. They had wine and just chatted. About the good old days with Ken and Eva and Debbie. About when Abi had gone missing, and about in the tunnels when Sam had saved Phils life. About when they had hated eachothers guts. She hoped they didn't return to that pure dislike. Not after she'd sampled his love.

That made you smile
Me
That made you laugh
Me
That made you happier that you had ever been
ohhh Me
That was your world
Me
Your perfect girl

Nothing aboout me has changed
thats why im here wondering

What makes her so much better than me
What makes her just everything i can never be
What makes her youre every dream and fantasy
Because i can remember when it was me
