Chapter 10- Spreading The Love

Sam got out of bed shortly after and headed off to the bathroom to have a shower. Phil contemplated staying in bed for a little while longer but changed his mind when he heard the shower running. He knocked on the door and opened it. He smiled cheekily at Sam. 'Is there room for anyone else?' he asked.

'There's always room for one more, especially if it's you,' Sam replied.

Phil stepped into the shower beside and kissed Sam passionately on the lips before pulling the shower curtain back…

They both got out of the shower an hour later, still dripping wet. They both had bath towels wrapped around them. 'That was fun,' Phil remarked.

'Mmm,' Sam replied as she raked through her wardrobe to find a suit to wear for work.

Phil was getting back into the clothes he was wearing last night. Sam looked over at him and smiled. 'I'll drop you off at your house, just so you can change,' she said.

'Thanks,' Phil replied gratefully.

Phil and Sam left the house about 15minutes later. Sam pulled up about 100yards away from Phil's house. Cindy was probably still there so they didn't want her to suspect anything. 'I'll see you at work,' Phil said.

'Yeah, I'll see you there,' Sam replied.

Phil leant across and kissed Sam softly on the lips. Sam deepened the kiss but Phil pulled away. 'I'll see you later,' he said as he got out of the car.

He stood out on the pavement and watched as Sam pulled away and disappeared out of sight.

Phil started the slow walk back towards his and Cindy's place. He wasn't looking forward to facing Cindy and explaining where he was last night. He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. Phil heard Cindy in the kitchen and she came out to see who it was. 'Oh, look who it is, Phil Hunter finally returns, where have you been?' Cindy asked.

'I went out for a drink with a mate from work last night, we got drunk and I spent the night on their sofa,' Phil lied, that was half-true though. Sam was a mate.

'Oh who is this mate then?' Cindy asked.

''It's none of your business,' Phil replied and he disappeared upstairs to change.

Phil shut the door of his and Cindy's bedroom. He knew that he would have to tell her the truth sometime but he wasn't sure how he could bring up the situation. Phil kept going over last night's events in his mind. He really, really loved Sam and last night was the best night of his life. He finally changed into his suit, without the tie and went back downstairs. 'Right Cindy, I'm off, I'll see you later,' Phil called.

'Are you coming back for dinner?' Cindy asked.

'Yeah OK,' Phil replied as he slammed the door shut.

Phil arrived at work about 5minutes later. He parked his car and made his way up to CID. Sam looked up as Phil entered. She gave him one of those smiles that always melted his heart. He went over to Sam's desk and perched on the edge of her desk. 'Listen, what are you going to do about telling Greg?' he asked.

'I called him not long after I left you. He's coming round mine tonight so I'll tell him then,' Sam replied.

'Good, I'll tell Cindy tonight as well so I'll come over to yours when I've broken the news,'

'Greg'll probably just go when I've told him so I'll be waiting for you,'

'I love you Sam,'

'I love you too, Phil,'

The day went very slowly for both Sam and Phil; both of them were getting nervous about telling their respective partners that was over between them. Phil especially, he had no idea how Cindy was going to react to the news that he'd slept with Sam. He didn't know whether she'd blame Sam for splitting them up. He loved Sam; he wouldn't be able to bear it if Cindy decided to take her anger out on her. He'd prefer her to take the anger out on him.

That evening, Sam and Phil finished work at around the same time. Sam's mobile started bleeping, indicating that someone had left her a message. She opened the message which: I'm outside yours, where are you? Greg xx. Sam sent a reply back saying: I've jus finished wk. I'm on my way home. Sam xx. 'Was that Greg?' Phil asked.

'Yeah, he's outside my house now,' Sam replied.

'You'd better go,'

Sam put her arms around Phil's neck and kissed him passionately on the lips. 'I love you Phil,' she said.

'You too Sam,'

Phil stood and watched as Sam got into her car and drove off. He was happy; soon he and Sam would be together. The way it was meant to be.
