Samantha walked into work on cloud nine. She had spent the entire weekend with Phil, albeit mostly in bed together. She sat down at her desk and scanned through the new files and paperwork that had accumulated on her desk over the weekend. She glanced at Phil as he sat down and smirked wickedly. She loved the feeling of keeping a secret with someone that no one else knew. It made her feel powerful and important.
They had barely been out of Phil's flat for the whole weekend, only emerging to take a walk in the park. It had gone so quickly and she had had so much fun that she never wanted it to end. Samantha remembered a tiny detail from the previous night that made her smile.
"You alright?" Jo asked her, she seemed to be staring into thin air.
"I'm fine." She smiled, getting on with her work.
"Something tells me someone is thinking very impure thoughts!" Phil whispered. She blushed lightly, not saying anything.
"Sam ... Honey said that these came for you!" Jack handed her a rose.
"Oh .. thanks guv." she opened the card. Phil watched her reaction as she read who it was from. she smirked, meeting his gaze.
"Someone's popular!"
Later that day Sam and Phil were assigned a case together, they went to investigate a spate of burglaries on elderly residents in the local area. They knocked on the doorof Mrs Appleton's house and waited for a reply. He placed his hand on the small of her back, making her smirk.
"Hello Mrs Appleton? I'm DS Nixon and this is DS Hunter from SunHill. Can we come in?" The lady cautiously opened the door, glancing at their ID. They walked into the house where the lady offered them drinks.
"I'm fine thank you!" Samantha smiled. They sat down an started to discuss the burglary. Mrs Appleton was understandably upset and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"Awwww she doesn't deserve this, poor woman!" Sam said standing up and looking at some photos on a shelf. Phil stood behind her, groping her playfully.
"Hardly the time or the place is it Phillip?" He smirked, continuing.
"Sorry about that!" The lady came back in. Phil's hands disappeared in an instance. He looked at the foor guiltily while Sam blushed lightly.
They left a few minutes later after taking details of the burglary and details of the things stolen. Samantha felt really sorry for the lady, she obviously lived alone with little family. She was just extremely lonely, even a visit from the police was a pleasure to her as she tried to keep them talking. Sam walked out the door to get some evidence bags from the car. Phil stood studying a gem that looked like it had escaped from a necklace or bracelet. All the jewellery stolen was gold or silver, nothing contained gems so presumably it belonged to the burglar.
"You should keep hold of her, you're obviously very happy together!" Mrs Appleton said. Phil looked at her, not understanding what she was talking about. "You colleague!" She said, seeing the confused look on his face.
"Oh yes I will thank you!" He said
"Don't loose her, when you get old like me you need someone to love!" Phil smiled at her wise words.
"I won't!"
They got back to the station half an hour later.
"Are you ok, you've been really quiet the whole way back?"
"Just thinking!"
"Be careful Phil!" she laughed.
"Very funny! ... No I was just thinking about what Mrs Appleton said!"
"What did she say?"
"She said that I was lucky to have you .."
"Damn right there!" Sam laughed
"And that I should hold onto you because I don't want to be lonely like she is when I'm old!"
"I don't wanna get old!" Sam said, taking his hand.
"No I don't either ... But I suppose if I have you then it will be quite fun!" He said, his arm around her. She smiled, nodding.
"I love you!" She said "And I want to get old with you too!"
"Good! Love you too!"
They stopped at a cafe and had lunch. They ordered sandwiches with chips to share.
"Ok so who's gonna get the last chip?" Sam asked, watching Phil guarding it.
"Share it?"
"Ok!" Sam said. Phil held out the chip and each bit from each end. Their lips met in the middle and they kissed each other lightly.
"What are you doing tonight?" Phil asked.
"I don't know!"
"Well I was thinking we could do something, maybe see a film?"
"That sounds good."
They walked back to the station and began their afternoon. Sam was looking forward to their evening together, she loved spending time with Phil and hated being apart from him.
"Sam, Phil! What are you up to tonight?"
"I don't know, what are we doing Guv?" sam said sarcasticlly. Jack ignored her smart comment.
"Well I was hoping that you would be up for an obbo, it's in a hotel so you'll be warm!" They looked at each other.
"Is there a catch?" Sam asked.
""Samantha, you're too cycnical for you're own good!" She smiled smugly. "No their is no catch I promise!"
"Ok then!" They both agreed.
