Sam got into the car beside Phil. His smile was still obvious for everyone to see. Sam couldn't work out if he was doing a bad job of hiding it or if he was simply not bothering at all.
"So is it tonight that Abi's going out then?" He smirked.
"Yes." She looked at him. "What are you smirking at?"
"Nothing!" He defended himself.
They got to the bar and Sam sat down at a table in the corner while Phil got them both drinks.
"Thank you." She said as he handed her a glass of white wine. "You were really great today!" She said, referring to the case of the ginger estate agent.
"Just doing my job really!"
"No ... You really helped her out. She must have been really freaked out, it's not easy being single and independent!"
"So I do have a purpose to you then?" He asked playfully.
"Of course, my knight in shining armour ... You're always there when I need you!" She smiled, looking thoughtfully into her glass.
"That's what I'm here for!" He said. She smiled, thinking of all the things that he had done for her. He had helped her all through the Abi and Hugh Wallis saga, he had gone out of his way to help her, she hoped he knew how mcuhs he appreciated it.
Several drinks later and after lots of giggling, Sam insisted that she should go home.
"Well maybe we can do it again!" she hinted. He nodded, glad that she wanted to do it again. They got out of the car at her house and he walked her to the door.
"Thank you for tonight, I had a good time. It's good to moan to someone who understands!" She laughed "Abi just let's me talk to myself!"
"That explains a lot! Well if you ever want to moan, give me a ring!"
"I will ... I'll see you tomorrow!" She said. She leant forward to kiss his cheek, his hands rested on her waist. They looked into each other's eyes for a few moments ... before she turned with a smile and went inside. He stood on the doorstep for a moment before realising how cold it was and got back to his car. He drove away, turning the music up loud.
Sam leant against the other side of the door, cursing herself for not kissing him on the lips or inviting him in. She nearly had, she had been completely lost in his eyes, as if he were controlling her. She now realised what the saying 'falling into his eyes' really meant.
The next morning Phil awoke before his alarm, he had spent another night dreaming of her. He couldn't wait until he got to work and could see her again. He jumped in the shower, not moaning like he usually did because of the coldness. He quickly got dressed in his favourite black pinstripe suit and white shirt. He buttered a slice of toast and made a cup of coffee. He sat at the kitchen table reading the sport section of the newspaper. He glanced at the clock before grabbing his keys and went out the door.
The cold morning had made his car freeze so he spent several minutes attempting to de-frost it. It didn't matter though, he was still early. He parked in the station car park and watched Sam pull up beside his car.
"Don't say anything!" She warned, pointing a finger at him. He smirked.
"I was just about to say how lovely you look today!"
"Yeah right you were!" She mocked. He feigned innocence.
"It's nice to see some things never change isn't it?"
"What do you mean?" She asked
"Well your parking still isn't in the lines!" He waited for her rection.
"You know what, I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer!" she said seriously, pretending to be angry. He knew her too well though.
"Wise choice!" He smirked.
Tony Stamp handed them a case later that morning. A local pub was letting local drug dealers sell in the back rooms. Sam and Phil went along to check it out. They sat with drinks at a table in the corner.
"Well isn't this nice?"
"Yeah, I've dreamt of this moment, sitting in a pub with orange juice!" She said sarcastically.
"Fancy a snoop in the ladies toilets?" He said, gestering over to a group of suspiciously acting women, heading towards the toilets.
Sam wandered off, reappearing minutes later.
"They disappeared out the back. Do you think we should follow?" He nodded, following her. She carefully opened the door that led to the private back rooms. She didn't see anyone in the corridor and motioned for Phil to follow her. They followed the corridor around in a cirlular shape. There were doors each side but none gave any evidence of where the supects were.
Ahead of them a door began to open. It remained stationary for a few seconds, half open but half closed. They heard the voices talking. Sam and Phil tried a door but found it locked. They turned quickly and as quietly as possible fled out of the corridor. The echo around them suggested that they had been seen and were being followed at a quick pace.
They burst out of the door, knowing that they wouldn't have time to get out of the pub and even if they did, they wouldn't make it back to the car. Before she knew what was happening, he grabbed her quickly and pinned her against the door next to the ladies toilets.
"We need to blend in!"
"This is for last night!" She said as the corridor burst open. She leant up to kiss seductively down his neck. He looked down at her, wary that the people chasing them were watching them cautiously. He pushed her chin up to look in her eyes. He remembered looking into her eyes, the next thing that he was aware of was his hands wrapped around her waist and his lips moving against hers, their tongues exploring each other's mouths ... He was suddenly brought back to reality, his eyes were still closed. She had felt so real, she had tasted so real. He could still feel and taste her against his lips. He begrudgeonly opened his eyes, not wanting to break the flow of the dream, not wanting to face the heart breaking reality of life without her again. He watched in confusion as she looked up at him and smiled, this hadn't been a dream. He had finally kissed the girl ...
Please, please review. I think this is a good place to end it but I could be persuaded to write more ... if I get more ideas! Thanks to all of the ideas that i've had and all of the reviews, it's really nice to see that people like what you are writing and enjoy reading it. By the way I'm going to New York tomorrow so don't expect any sort of update until at least Sunday xx
