Summary: Sam and Liz love eachother, but can they make their relationship work? [better summary when I figure out where I'm going with this story lol]

Author's Note: Okay, here's a VERY short intro for a new SaLiz story! It was written when my brain was fried so tis not my best...but its SaLiz...that should mean something!


"You awake?" Liz asked softly, making sure to speak quietly enough not to wake the other girl incase she was in fact not awake. She was facing the wall, that wasn't near as pretty of a sight as the woman next to her…at what point in the night did they end up facing in the opposite direction? She wanted to turn to look at Sam's beautiful face, but she was afraid if she shifted the wrong way it could possible awake her. That was the last thing she wanted to do, she was so peaceful when she slept. But unfortunaly she did have to get up, she had to get to work today and pick up the kids from their grandmother's. Things to do, places to go, and people to see. Everything that she didn't want to do today.

"No" Sam mumbled, eyes still closed. Sam didn't want to get up, she just wanted to stay in bed with the woman she loved all day. She turned and wrapped her arm around Liz protectively.

Elizabeth didn't mind though. She could feel Sam's soft breathing on her neck. She softly smiled. She was right where she wanted to be, safe and warm in her woman's arms. The outside world was cold and hard, she had responsiblities and kids to look after. Real world dangers and problems. But in Sam's arms? Everything just melted away. She could be vunerable if only for a little while.

"Sam we have to get up"

"Do we hafta?"

Liz rolled over to face her lover, and leaned in for a kiss. Sam of course obliged. Before Sam could say anything, Elizabeth quickly sat up and grabbed her shirt from the ground and slipped it on.

"I'll take that as a yes" Sam added, sitting up and doing the same as Liz.

A few minutes passed with the two of them just sitting on opposite sides of the bed in silence, unsure of what to say or do next. Finally Sam spoke up.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" Sam asked. She hoped not too much was going on with Liz today, she wanted to see her again later tonight. She hated keeping this relationship a secret, she always had. Nobody knew but them. Not Lucky, not her mother, most certainly not Jason. In fact Jason was still fighting with himself as to whether or not to pursue a relationship with Elizabeth. But he would not be bringing himself or the dangers that came with him anywhere near Elizabeth, not as long as Sam was around. She knew what it was like to have a dangerous lifestyle, not to mention heartbreaking affair with him. She didn't want Liz to go through the same thing.

"The usual…work and kids" Liz responded sadly. She too hated the secret of their relationship. But it was better kept quiet, right? It would confuse the kids, not to mention Lucky and Jason. Lucky had just broken up with Sam not even two months ago. And everyone knew Jason still wanted to have a relationship with Liz. It would just make things too complicated…but then again, how long can a thing like this stay a secret without things going wrong?

"Oh." Sam replied, looking down then over to Liz. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when the doorbell was heard. Both ladies looked at each other.

Elizabeth walked over towards the window and peered through the blinds. It was just the man neither of them, particularly Sam, wanted to see.

"It's Jason" Liz said quickly.

"Well get rid of him!" Sam replied.

Both women looked at each other again before the sound of the doorbell was heard once again.


Please R/R! it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, not to mention gets new chapters up quicker!
