Part 7
TOBY'S ROOM
"Can I ask you a question?" Allison asked resting her head on Toby's chest.
"Sure." Toby said, wrapping his arm around her.
"Who's CJ?" She smiled.
"What?" Toby asked surprisingly.
"Well, I over heard you and your friend talking about a woman named CJ. Your friend thinks there's something going on there." She laughed at Toby's nervousness.
"It's just someone we work with. She's no one."
"Oh really, your friend was quite sure of himself." She smiled.
"Josh is a moron. He thinks everyone has a thing for everyone. It's nothing."
"So you don't have any feelings for her?"
"No, just friends."
"Okay." Allison couldn't help but laugh.
"What is so funny?" Toby asked.
"You're lying. But it's okay."
"Why do you say that?" He couldn't help but smile at her. She raised her head and looked into his eyes.
"It's in your voice. And now I see that it's in your eyes." She smiled and kissed him. "Must be a special lady."
"She doesn't like me that way."
"But you like her that way." She smiled.
"Maybe."
"Told you." She laughed and kissed Toby again. "Tell her she has a great guy waiting for her, will ya?"
"I probably won't, but oh well." He smiled as she hit him.
"What brought you here anyway?" She asked while kissing him.
"I had to make sure a friend got here alright. His mom died." He said.
"I'm sorry." She rubbed his cheek with her finger. "Is he here?"
"He's with his family, Josh and I thought he would be better there."
"You're a good friend." She complimented.
"Not that good."
"Don't sell yourself short. I've never met a man like you before. You're sweet."
"You don't know me." He grinned.
"Yes I do." She laughed. "You know. If you weren't so hung up with this CJ, I might just kidnap you and never let you leave." She smiled.
"I think the President might have a problem with that one." He kissed her.
"Damn." She looked at him. "Thanks for the greatest night of my life Toby Ziegler."
"Thank you." He smiled and kissed her again.
JOSH'S ROOM
"So, you're leaving tomorrow huh?" Becky asked while wrapping her arms around Josh.
"Yeah, have to get back to work." He kissed the top of her head.
"That's right, big White House guy." She joked.
"Yeah." He laughed.
"So you came out here for business?"
"No, I had to help a friend get here."
"Really? The one you were with at the bar?"
"No, we both had to bring our friend Sam out her. His mom died and he was coming out here to be with his family. That's why Toby and I were at the bar."
"I'm sorry to here about your friend." She kissed Josh on the cheek.
"Thanks." He smiled and looked down at her.
"You're a sweet guy. You know that?" She smiled.
"I'm not that sweet." He grinned and kissed her.
"So, this is a one night stand huh?" She pretended to be hurt and hit him playfully.
"I think so." He looked at her again. "Does that upset you?"
"No, I'm glad we had this night. Really glad." She smirked.
"Me too. It's been a long time since I had a night like this."
"Me too."
Josh kissed Becky again.
"I'll tell you what. If you want, we're coming out here in a few weeks on business. I can look you up." Josh mentioned.
"I would like that. I'll be your L.A. stay, if you know what I mean." She laughed.
"I like that." Josh laughed and kissed her again.
SAM'S HOUSE
"Thank you for coming." Sam whispered in Lisa's ear.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner."
"I just got here today. I drove."
Lisa sat up and looked at Sam.
"You drove from DC? Alone?"
"No, Josh and Toby came with me." He smiled.
"That must have been fun."
"It helped."
"Where are they now?"
"They thought I should be with family."
"They're right." She smiled and kissed him.
"What happened to us?" He asked holding her hand.
"Bad timing, I guess." She rubbed his cheek again.
"What about now?" Sam looked at her.
"I love you Sam, you know that. Do you honestly think that we could be together now?" She smiled weakly.
"No." Sam smiled a little and looked down. "I just wish it could happen."
"Me too." She leaned over and kissed him. "Now, let's get some sleep."
Lisa shut Sam's eyes with her fingers. She watched him as he fell fast asleep. She smiled and thought about the times they had together. He was the best man she had ever known. And she knew that was never going to change.
TOBY'S ROOM
"Leaving so soon?" Allison sat up from the bed as she saw Toby getting dressed.
"Check-out is in a half hour. Josh and I wanted to see Sam before we left."
"Were you just going to leave without saying goodbye?" Allison joked.
"No, I was going to wake you. I just wanted to be dressed when I did. So I wouldn't be tempted." Toby winked.
Allison got out of bed and walked over to Toby. She put her arms around him and kissed him.
"Don't tempt me." Toby grinned.
"I wouldn't dare." Allison joked. "I'm going to go get dressed."
"Yeah. I'll wait for you." He said while giving her a kiss. Then he watched as she walked into the bathroom.
JOSH'S ROOM
"Time to get up." Josh whispered into Becky's ear.
"No it's not." Becky smiled.
"Sadly." He kissed her and walked over to brush his hair.
"You're dressed already." Becky smiled.
"Yeah, Toby and I wanted to see Sam before we left."
"That's nice."
"Yeah. I never thought I would say this, but you better get dressed." Josh grinned.
"Yeah, maybe." Becky got up and walked over to Josh and kissed him.
She could tell he was looking at more than her face. "Down boy." She joked.
"You make it too difficult." He moaned.
"Will you wait for me while I get dressed?"
"Of course." Josh smiled as he watched her walk into the bathroom.
SAM'S HOUSE
Sam had been awake for a while, just looking at Lisa. He remembered the good times and the bad times. He knew they couldn't be with each other because of their jobs. He just wished one day they could be.
"Morning." Sam said as he felt Lisa move above him. She popped her head up and looked at him.
"How long have you been up?" She asked.
"Not long. You sleep good?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah." He smiled and kissed her.
"Good." She smiled.
"Thanks for being here."
"Anytime Sam." She patted his arm and got up. "I should get going."
"You can stay. If you want."
"I can if you want me too."
"I do." Sam nodded.
"Then I'll stay. Come on." Lisa pulled Sam out of bed.
"Where are we going?"
"I'm going to cook some us some breakfast."
Toby, Josh, Allison, and Becky all waited outside for their cabs.
One came after a few minutes.
"You guys can go first." Becky offered.
"It's okay, we still have time. Go ahead." Josh said. "It was very nice meeting you Becky." He said while kissing her hand.
"It was nice meeting you too, Josh. Hope we can do this again." Becky kissed Josh on the cheek and got in the cab.
"Remember what I said Toby Ziegler." Allison pulled Toby toward her by his shirt.
"What?" Toby smiled.
"Tell CJ she has a good guy waiting for her. A very good guy." Allison smiled as she kissed him.
"Get out of here." Toby said playfully.
Allison smiled and got in the cab with Becky. Toby and Josh both waved as the cab took off. Both men stood smiling.
"So, have a nice night?" Josh asked before laughing.
"I did. And you?"
"You better believe it." He smiled. The two men smiled at each other as their cab pulled up.
