I told you I would never forget about any story I start to write and I keep my promises!
Here is is people chapter 14!
Sorry about the wait.
Enjoyyyy!
"It's official!"
Sam yelled before Abby had a chance to ask anything.
"BRILLIANT!"
Sam grinned like a little fool.
"How'd he ask you?"
"He just.. Asked!"
"Just like that?"
"Yeah."
"Wow…"
Sam frowned. "What?"
"Well… it's a bit of a coincidence isn't it?"
"Hm?"
Sam turned and started to gather the mugs that had been left by the techies.
"One of these days I'm going to yell at them for using our mugs!"
Jess, who had just walked in to hear Sam's words, looked affronted.
She made to speak but Abby was still on a roll.
"I mean. Your friends say you have to date someone else and then he formally does it."
"WHAT?"
"Well done, Abby!" Sam spoke over the running water as she cleaned out the mugs. "I wanted to tell her!"
"He's asked you out?"
"HE'S ASKED YOU OUT?"
When Connor shouted Sam dropped a mug into the rapidly filling sink.
"THAT'S IT! Everyone quiet until the others get here!"

Sam wished she hadn't waited until everyone was in the break room the moment Becker entered.
"Tea?"
She frowned at him. "Hello to you too, Boss!"
"Stop with the sarcasm. Where's my cuppa?"
The soldier girl rolled her eyes and pointed to 'his' mug, already on the coffee table in front of 'his' seat.
"Good." Becker sat down and picked it up taking a happy sip.
"Don't worry. It was no trouble."
They all looked up at Sam, then realised she was pointing out the lack of thanks from Becker.
"If you were really upset, Samantha, you would have kicked up more of a fuss."
Becker raised an eyebrow and Sam knew that he was going to spend the day taking advantage of her good mood.
"Hmm."
"SO!" Abby jumped in her seat.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend."
"What did you say? You said yes didn't you? You got lucky right?"
"CONNOR!" All girls, minus Emily, yelled at the poor scientist who flinched by automatic reflex.
The entire team laughed at his action then turned their attention back to Sam.
"So what does that mean?"
"Well… it mean's we're officially dating, Matt. What else would it mean?"
"Yes I know that, but… what does it mean for your dates and your friends?"
"OH!" Sam clapped her hands. "It means that I can go out any night, as late as I want, I don't need to tell them everything that happened and they're not badgering me!"
From the other side of the room Becker frowned. "You seem happier that you have your friends off your back then you do that you're officially with him."
"Yeah, Becker's right. Someone needs to warn his Hillary bloke that you're just with him to get an easy life."
"NO I AM NOT!" Sam's shriek of horror made her immediately turn red.
"We were just kidding!" Connor tried to defend himself.
"Well it's not funny! I'm not with him for that I'm with him becau-"
She blushed further and looked down at her tea.
"Because-" Becker prompted.
Sam looked up at him and grimaced. "That's his business, Becker."

Sam started to wash up the mugs after the break.
"So why are you with him?" Abby knew that now only she remained in the room there was more chance that she would actually share.
The soldier girl glanced around before turning her attention back to the sink. "Because I really really like him, Abby."
The older girl gave her a small smile. "It's sweet. It really is. I'm surprised Becker's taking it this well though."
Sam looked back at her in total confusion.
"I've always thought he's had a soft spot for you. He used to save you on dates, punched that guy up, you two flirted like mad!"
"We did no-"
"You did, Sam." Her tone was final. "I thought he may be a little jealous."
"Oh." Sam looked back at the frothy water to hide how her eyes were darting.
"Has he been acting differently since you started seeing Hillary? I mean you two aren't as flirty which I understand from your side but is anything different between you..?"
Other than the fact I see him every week to go on dates, know his mobile number by heart, have two of his jumpers hidden at home, kiss him…
"Um. Well, I don't see that there's anything wrong with our relationship."
"Okay, just let me know if anything happens. It's not like Becker to lose control of his feelings but watch out."
"I don't think he's jealous, Abby."
"Maybe so bu-"
"He has a girlfriend."
Abby blinked in confusion. "Since when?"
"I wasn't meant to tell anyone." She looked sheepish. "I'm only saying this to assure you he's okay. Okay?"
"Right. Okay. Umm, I'll go see how the Pteranodon is doing."
Abby left and, as soon as she was sure no one was around, Sam collapsed in laughter.
Never lie! That's the golden rule! :D
Let me know what you think!
Primeval love!
Thanks!
