The Only One For Me

Summary: Sam comes back to Atlanta Classification: SJR Disclaimer: I don't own the Profiler characters. I'm just using them for my story.

Chpt. 6 Sam was having a bad day. She over-exposed a roll of film, had a fight with Chloe and couldn't find her credit card bill, which was overdue. She reached her breaking point. At that moment the phone rang. It was John. "Hi Sam, how's everything?" "Why didn't you call me last week?! I don't want to talk to you now!" Sam yelled. "Now wait a minute. I was." "I don't want to hear it!" Sam yelled and then she slammed the phone down. John was shocked. She didn't give him a chance to explain that he was in Colorado last week, on a case. I should call her back, he thought. But he decided to wait till later. Give her a chance to cool down.

After Sam slammed the phone down it hit her. She yelled at John for no reason. She was so mad that she took it out on him. I have to call him, to apologize she thought to her self.

"John Grant, please" Sam said to the receptionist. John was talking to Grace when he heard the page. "John Grant, line 3" "Grant" "John, I'm so sorry I was sharp with you." "Don't worry. It's al." "No!" Sam interrupted him. "I shouldn't have snapped at you." "You need to relax. I'll cook dinner, tonight" John said as he checked his messages. "You'll cook?" Sam laughed. "This I got to see." "You don't think I eat out all he time, do you?" "I did, till now." she answered John laughed. "I'll pick you up at 6" "That will give me time to drop Chloe off at Angela's" Sam said as she checked the negatives on her desk. "Okay, see you later." John said. After Sam talked to John she felt better. She loved how he took care of her and Chloe.

John smiled to himself. His life has changed so much since he and Sam became involved. He wouldn't trade the last two months for anything in the world.

"I'm ready mom. Come on!" Chloe yelled. "I'm coming, I'm coming." Sam said as she locked the front door.

When John picked Sam up she was still a little tense. When they got to his apartment John steered Sam to the couch. "Sit with your back towards me" Sam looked at John suspiciously "Why?" John smiled. "I'm going to help you relax." John messaged her shoulders and back while they talked about her day. "I can't believe I over-exposed film. Now I have to do the shoot again." Sam sighed. "What were the pictures of?" John asked. "The animals at the zoo." "Why don't we take Chloe to the zoo on Saturday?" John suggested. "Thanks. It's a date."

After dinner the watched a movie and snuggled on the couch. John's mind wasn't on the movie. He realized he wants to marry Sam. The thought stunned him. "So what do you think, John?" Sam asked. "Think about what?" he asked. "You weren't watching the movie, were you?" "I have something else on my mind. Something I want to ask you, but I don't know how." "Just ask me." Sam said. "I need. I want. I care. damn!"

"take it slow. We have all night." Sam said. "I'll be right back." John said. He went to his bedroom closet and took out a box. He took a small ring box out of the bigger box and slipped it in his pocket. Then he returned to the living room.

"Sam, I'm so in love with you. I have been since the first day we met. I tried to hide how I felt, from you. When you started dating Coop I hid my feelings. You were so happy." John took Sam's hand and held it as he continued. "When Coop was killed, I buried my feelings, deeper. You needed a friend." Sam remembered John being there for her. John took the box out of his pocket as he went down on one knee. Sam was surprised. She never expected this. "I love you Sam. I think about you all the time. When I'm not with you I miss you. Will you marry me?" John asked as he took the ring out of the box and placed it on Sam's finger. "Are you sure? I don't know what to say." "John smiled. "How about yes?" "Yes! Absolutely yes!" Sam said as she hugged John.
