Chapter 12- Indecisive
Sam stared open mouthed at what Stuart had just said. 'Come on Sam, say something,' Stuart said after a minutes silence.
'I don't know Stuart,' Sam finally said. 'I need some time to think.'
'Oh…OK,'
'Listen Stuart, I'm gonna go for a walk, do you mind?'
'Why?'
'I just need some time to think,'
'About the proposal?'
Sam nodded as she got out of the chair. 'I'll see you back at home,' she said as he softly kissed Stuart on the lips before leaving the restaurant.
Sam stepped outside the restaurant and looked out at the River Thames. She couldn't believe that Stuart had asked her to marry him. Sam began to walk along the river trying to gather her thoughts. She needed to talk to someone; someone who she knew would listen to her. Sam turned around and began to walk in the direction of Phil's house.
Phil had just put Alfie to bed up in the spare bedroom. He gently kissed the top of his son's head and left the door open ajar. He came down the stairs and heard a knock at the door, he had no idea who it was but answered it all the same. Phil opened the door and saw Sam stood in the doorway. 'Hey Sam,' Phil said.
'Hey Phil,' Sam replied.
'What's wrong?'
Sam stepped inside the house and Phil closed the door behind them. 'Oh Phil,' Sam said as she buried her head into Phil's chest.
'What's happened Sam, come on you can tell me,' Phil said as he wrapped his arms around her.
'Stuart bloody Turner's happened,' Sam said.
'What's he done now?' Phil asked as he led Sam into the living room.
Sam sat down on the sofa in the living room as Phil went through to the kitchen to get them both a drink. He came back into the living room carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. He poured out the wine and passed one to Sam. 'You know me and Stuart went out for dinner,' Sam began.
Phil nodded. 'Stuart's…asked me to marry him,' Sam finally said.
'What have you said?'
'Nothing yet, I said I needed some time to think it through,'
'Please tell me that you're not gonna say yes to him,'
Sam put the glass of wine down and looked at him. 'Honestly, Phil. I don't know what I'm thinking at the moment, I never thought it would get this complicated,' she said
'I know how complicated this is Sam and I promise you, whatever decision you make, we'll get through it,' Phil replied and kissed Sam softly on the lips.
Sam pulled away and gazed into Phil's eyes. 'Can I stay with you tonight?' she asked.
Phil looked at Sam once more and smiled. 'Of course you can babe, this is great, we still get to spend some of Valentines Night together,'
Phil leant forwards and kissed Sam softly on the lips. She wrapped her arms around Phil's neck and deepened the kiss. Phil pulled away and gazed fervently into Sam's eyes. She smiled once more. 'You coming?' he asked as he held out his hand to her.
Sam looked up at Phil and he gave her a reassuring smile. She took his hand in hers and let him lead her upstairs to the bedroom…
The next morning, Sam and Phil woke up in each others arms after the steamy happenings of the night before. Their clothes were still strewn all over the floor. Sam woke up at about 7o'clock and turned to face Phil, who was still asleep. She softly kissed him on the lips and pulled away. Phil's eyes slowly fluttered open and he pulled Sam in for another long and lingering kiss. 'Morning babe,' he said once they both pulled away.
'Morning,' Sam replied as she looked at the clock. 'I'm gonna have to go Phil,'
'Why?'
'Because Stuart's gonna be wondering where I am, I told him I'd see him at home,'
'So why did you come over here and sleep with me then?'
'Because I couldn't face going back to him just yet,'
'Oh, OK,' Phil said as he heard cries coming from the spare bedroom, Alfie had woken up.
'You'd better see to him Phil,' Sam said as she began to get out of bed.
Phil got dressed and walked through to the spare room to see to Alfie. Sam had just finished getting and was descending the staircase. 'I'm off Phil!' she called.
'Hold on a minute Sam!' Phil called back.
He appeared at the top of the stairs, carrying Alfie in his arms. Phil came down the stairs, 'what are you gonna tell Stuart about where you were last night?' he asked.
'I don't know,' Sam shrugged as she kissed Phil softly on the lips. 'I'll see you at work babe, I love you.'
'Yeah, I love you too Sam,' Phil said as Sam opened the door and began to walk down the garden path. Phil watched Sam walk down the road until she disappeared out of sight.
