Just Meant To Be

Chapter 1

Office Flirting and Small Arguments

"Hey," came a familiar voice from behind him. As he spun round he saw Samantha smiling up at him.

"Hey yourself," he couldn't resist smiling back at her and flirting.

"Where've you been? I wanted your help with a case earlier but I had to settle for Terry instead."

"You see that's the problem..." he said mischievously.

"What is?" Sam replied confused, not knowing what he was talking about.

"So many people want me, but they can't all have me at the same time," he said grinning cheekily "well actually, thinking about it they could all have me at the same time if…"

"I was talking about work Phil!" She said laughing.

"Yeah so was I" he replied innocently.

"Really?" she said looking at him.

"Yep!" He grinned again. "You know your trouble?"

"No, but I suppose you're going to tell me?"

"You've got a dirty mind Samantha!" He smiled as he walked over to his desk and turned on his computer.

Terry had just entered CID and had caught the end of their conversation. "Who's got a dirty mind?"

"Sam has." He said grinning, watching her face for a reaction.

"Ow yeah why's that?" Terry asked clearly amused and intrigued at his Sergeants' conversation.

"She was thinking about my sex life with many women at the same time, if you get my meaning?!" He grinned and winked at Terry who just laughed and then replied "what you talking about Phil? Rumour has it you ain't even got a sex life at the moment."

"Ain't you got enough work to do Terry? Because I can give you some if you haven't!" Phil replied in a serious tone.

Sam giggled. "Remind me to buy you a drink tonight Terry!" Terry looked over from his desk "ow cheers Gouv." She turned and headed towards her office with Phil walking closely behind her.

"You gonna buy me a drink too?" Phil retorted in a low voice to Sam as she walked into her office.

"Ow I don't know..." she said thinking about it "…do you think you deserve one?" she continued in a flirtatious tone as she turned round to face him, and was now looking directly into his eyes.

"I think so…yeah!" He smiled back at her. She gave out a small laugh and then they both just stood there in her office gazing into each others eyes, neither of them wanting to break the moment.

"Knock knock!" Came a voice from behind Phil. "Not interrupting anything am I?" continued Stuart.

Phil just smiled slightly disappointed that they had been interupted by Stuart of all people, as Sam spoke. "No course not, Phil just wanted my opinion on something." She said choosing her words appropriately, and then she shared a brief smile with Phil who laughed slightly.

Stuart laughed too. "What…is this a private joke or can any one join in?" he replied laughing to himself looking from Phil then to Sam.

"Naah private joke mate!" Phil said rather pleased with himself for wiping the smile off Stuart's face. "I'll catch you later," he said leaving Sam with Stuart.

"Yeah." Sam replied as she watched him walk out of her office following his movement with her eyes as he went.

"What did you ever see in him?" Stuart asked rhetorically whilst shaking his head.

"Don't!"

"Don't what?"

"Don't start okay!" she replied raising her voice "what was it you wanted because I take it you didn't come in here just to make sniping comments towards Phil?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I booked us a table at that new restaurant in town for 8 o'clock."

"Ow."

"Well it wasn't exactly the reaction I was hoping for Sam!" he said looking at her while she was sorting through some files on her desk.

She turned around to look at him again. "Sorry, it's just that…"

"What?" He cut through.

"Well…I thought that we were going to go down to the pub tonight after work." She replied feeling guilty after implying that she was going to the pub with Terry, Phil and some of the others.

"Yeah but I thought that it would be a nice surprise you know..." He noticed the look on Sam's face, the kind of look which said I wish you'd have consulted me first before arranging anything. "Or maybe not..." He gave out a small laugh before continuing, "but look I can always cancel if you're not happy…" Sam smiled she knew there was a reason why she was with him, "…I mean if you'd rather spend the night getting drunk with the rest of the relief…then we can always do this another night!" He replied dryly nodding slightly at her for a response. Yep she knew there was a reason why she was with him…she just couldn't remember what it was!!

"Yeah thanks that would be good, getting drunk sounds like a much better plan after the day I've had." She wasn't going to let him bully her into going to dinner with him by making her feel guilty.

Stuart looked at her before nodding and without saying a word smiled and then left.

It was nearly the end of the shift and everyone was logging off their computers and packing up their things in CID. Sam was still in her office filing in some paperwork.

"You coming down the pub Stuart?" Jo asked.

"Apparently so" was his bitter reply, aimed more at Sam than Jo, but she gave him a dirty look when he turned his back all the same and muttered, "oooow pardon me for breathin'" when he'd walked out of CID leaving Terry, Jo, Phil and Sam. "What's his problem? Trouble in paradise?" she continued "…Muppet!" She said shaking her head as Phil and Terry sniggered.
