"So would you be interested in returning to SunHill as a DS?" Jack asked him.
"Yeah definitely. I always liked it here and I like the area too!"
"SO, shall I leave you to think about it? You don't go home for a while yet do you?"
"No, I've still got another week down here. I'll let you know when I've decided." He left Jack's office. He knocked on the door to Samantha's office.
"Guess what?"
"George Clooney is waiting for me in the front office?"
"No!" He said, watching her strangely. Jack's just offered me a job back here!"
"That's great! Are you gonna take it?"
"I haven't decided yet but I probably will. Liverpool is good but I always preferred it in London."
"We'd better go for and drink and celebrate then!"
"I haven't accepted the job yet!"
"It's an excuse for a party!" She grinned.
Samantha sat in a bar waiting for Zain to arrive. The waiter placed two glasses of wine in front of her.
"I just accepted the job!" Zain whispered in her ear.
"Really, that's great!" She hugged him, handing him his wine. "So does that mean that I've got to put up with you again?"
"Sure does. Hey, you're gonna be my superior again!" He looked like he were sulking.
"Yep, make sure you remember that DS Nadir. I'll be keeping a close eye on you!" She smirked.
Samantha was really glad that Zain had decided to stay. She wasn't sure whether she would have been able to say goodbye again. She hadn't realised until now, how close they had grown. They had become almost best friends in the past week, always teasing and joking around. Samantha still saw something more. Jo's words were still swimming in her mind, did Zain like her more than he let on?
She wondered how she would react if Zain ever said anything to her. She couldn't deny that she felt an attraction towards Zain. For the past 3 nights she had dreamt about him. The first night, they had been out for a drink and he kissed her on the cheek goodnight, the second night, they had gone to the cinema and kissed in the back row the whole time, the third night, they had been at Zain's and played strip poker, not that either of them could play poker ...
"Zain, I am quite capable of walking home!"
"I know but it's cold and dark."
"I am a police officer!"
"Yeah but you are quite small and vulnerable."
"Thanks!"
"I didn't mean it like that but I don't want anything bad happening."
It started to rain as they walked to Samantha's house. By the time they got there they were both soaking wet and extremely cold.
"Do you want to stay here tonight? We're already soaking wet!"
"If you don't mind?"
"Course not. It'll be good to have the company!"
"So what's Abi up to now?"
"She's at Uni, she's studying to be a nurse."
"Not a copper then?"
"No, I don't think she'd get on well as a copper."
Sam went and got changed. She chucked a towel down the stairs for Zain to dry himself on.
"Feel free to grab a shower!" She shouted down the stairs.
"Thanks, I might later!"
She came back down wearing low rise jeans and a white vest top. Her wet hair was pulled into two pigtails. Again he thought that she looked incredibly cute. Although she was petite, the tight jeans made her look extremely curvy, which Zain liked, a lot.
Only one chapter left to post. Enjoy
