Lovers?

Chapter 10

Sam had just arrived home, and was wondering what excuse to give for why she didn't come home the night before.

"Abi, are you here?"

"Mum?" she came running down the stairs.

"Are you ok?"

"Where have you been? Why didn't you come home last night?"

"I stayed at a friends house, there's no need to worry, I can look after myself." She didn't mean to snap, but she was still in shock from her run-in with Terry.

"Mum, what's up?"

"Nothing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to have a go at you."

"It's ok, but why didn't you ring me?"

"I was a bit drunk."

"Ok, I shouldn't have worried so much." Abi seemed satisfied with the answers.

"Yeah, and I might be going out again tonight, but I'll ring you if I'm going to be home late."

"Thanks, it would make me feel better."

"Ok then, I'm just going to ring Emma and see if she still wants to go out tonight."

Sam went upstairs and rang a number from her mobile directory.

"Hello?"

"Hi, it's me." She was talking quietly.

"Oh hi. I was just thinking about you." The voice on the other end was not so quiet.

"Were you now?"

"Yeah."

"Well I was just thinking about coming over tonight."

"Oh really? Well I'm thinking that's a good idea."

"What time then?"

"Let's say 7:00. Don't eat."

"Ok, I'll see you then."

"Looking forward to it."

"Bye."

"Bye."

She hung up and went to have a shower, not realising that Abi had been standing outside the door, and had heard the whole of Sam's side of the conversation. Abi thought about what she had heard for a minute.

Abi's POV

Is she seeing someone? It would explain why she snapped this morning. No, she can't be, she would tell me. But then who was that on the phone? I'm pretty sure that wasn't Emma, and she told me she was going out tonight, she's just said she's going to someone's house.

Sam got out the shower and got dried, she saw her phone on the dressing table, and she would have sworn she left it on the bed, but ignored it all the same.

Later that night, when Sam was nearly ready to leave, Abi came into her bedroom.

"Mum."

"Yes Abi."

"Where are you going tonight?"

"What?" Sam was taken aback.

"You're not going out with Emma are you?"

"Yes, that's what I told you."

"Mum, are you seeing someone?"

"No, why are you asking me this?"

"I overheard when you were on the phone, you said you were going round someone's house." Sam had to think fast.

"No, I'm meeting Emma at her house first."

"Oh, ok."

"And don't worry I'll ring you if I'm going to be home late."

"Oh, well, ok then." She was still not sure whether to believe her mother or not.

"Anyway, I've got to go, so I'll see you later." She kissed her daughter on the cheek before leaving.

Ok, tell me what you think, and I will ud soon,

Luv Sam
