Gangsters paradise part 13

Phil and Sam sat in the car for a few minutes in silence, Phil was clearly nervous, and Sam was just thinking about what she should say to her colleagues, she knew that they would find out eventually, but she didn't think it would be so soon. She loved Phil but she didn't want people gossiping about them behind their back, and most of all she didn't want Stuart to find out about Phil, she knew Stuart would be angry, and she didn't want to give Phil an excuse to rub his nose in it.

She hadn't seen Stuart since they had split up, which was his own fault not hers, she caught him kissing another woman in his car outside the station, which she thought was quite stupid, if he was going to cheat on her then he shouldn't have done it there for all the world to see. They hadn't been together for long anyway, she knew it wouldn't last, she had always been in love with Phil, she just wasn't sure how to tell him at the time. Anyway this would be the first time she would see him because when they were together, he had booked a holiday to Tenerife for them both, obviously Sam was going to go with him, but then she saw him swallowing his bit on the side whole, so she ended their relationship. He had gone for 2 weeks, and now he was going to be back, and things had changed so much, Stuart told her he loved her when she said she was leaving him, so she wasn't sure how Stuart would react to the news that her and Phil were together. After a while Sam spoke to an anxious Phil.

'hey, come on, we need to do this now.' Sam said, gripping Phil's hand as she spoke.

'yeah…. Lets do this, oh and isn't Stuart back today?' Phil said then his face broke into a smile at the sight of Stuarts car pulling up into the car park, Stuart didn't see them, but if he did the first thing he was going to do was kiss Sam, so he could see what he was missing. Sam glared at him.

'I will take that as a yes then' Phil smirked and got out of his car, today was going to be fun after all he thought. Sam got out as well and walked round to Phil, they started to walk into the station and saw Stuart stood at the reception, Phil instantly held Sam's hand, much to her annoyance and walked past him, Stuart saw them and glared at Phil, Phil just smiled back at him with a smug grin on his face.

Once in CID they were all being briefed by the DCI about today's arrests that needed to be made. Zain, Jo, Suzi and Stuart were all sat at one end of CID whilst Terry, Neil, Sam and Phil were sat at the other, listening to what was being said. Phil was sat on his desk, whilst Sam was stood up in between his legs listening. Phil had his hands protectively on her waist, which made all their colleagues gossip about them, Stuart was trying to hide how jealous he was, but he couldn't, once Phil was on his own he thought, he was going to have a word with him….

Half an hour had passed and Stuart was stood with the DI, probably sucking up to him Phil thought. Phil glanced over to Sam, she was talking to Jo. Phil and Sam hadn't told everyone yet, but he thought that now would be the time to tell them how much he loved Samantha Nixon. Phil got up and walked over to Sam, as he walked he made full eye contact with Stuart, everyone was looking at what he was up to apart from Sam and Jo who didn't have a clue. He then touched Sam's arm to turn her to face him. She turned around and looked at him, she looked a little confused. He spoke to Sam and Jo quietly.

'Hey Jo, sorry about this again, but can I please borrow Sam a minute?' Phil asked, awaiting a sarcastic comment from Jo.

'yeah sure you can borrow her, just remember to fetch her back, don't do what you did yesterday.' Jo smirked and Sam and Phil walked away smiling at her, they went into the empty DI's office and shut the door.

' what now Phil, what's wrong, has your dad been in touch?' Sam asked.

'no, no its nothing like that, I just wanted to ask you if we could tell the rest of CID about us?' Phil asked smiling.

'I don't know, Stuarts only outside this door , I'm scared, I don't want to hurt his feelings.'

'he should of thought of that before he got his greasy mitts on that other woman, how could anyone cheat on you, he must be an idiot.' Phil said, Sam smiled and he kissed her, just then the DI and Stuart walked in, they sprung apart and both blushed a little. Stuart saw everything and didn't know where to look. DI Neil Manson just didn't look amused, he was shocked really.

'umm Stuart, can we talk in a minute please, I need to have a chat with DS Nixon and DS Hunter.' he said nastily.

'yeah sure, I've got some paper work to do anyway, it doesn't matter, I will speak to you later.' Stuart sounded upset, Sam picked up on this and looked at Phil as Stuart shut the door as he left the room.

'right, I take it you two are a couple now then, I don't want you to bring your private lives into work, and don't make a habit of this ok.' he said smirking a little.

'Guv' they both said at the same time. They both left the room. As Sam looked around CID, she noticed Stuart had disappeared, she looked up at Phil as he was stood beside her.

'I think I should go and find Stuart Phil, I need to explain things to him.' Sam said anxiously.

'you don't need to explain anything, its nothing to do with him, if you do go looking for him though I'm coming with you.' he said sharply, gesturing for her to move towards the corner of CID out of the way.

'no Phil, its between me and him, if you come with me then you will just make him lash out even more' Sam said trying to show that she could do this alone.

'ok then, but I've got my mobile, so if you need me then just phone me yeah?'

'I will I promise, I wont be long anyway.' she said giving him a quick kiss, in which all of CID witnessed and as she left the room everyone looked at Phil for an explanation.

'WHAT?' he said smiling as everyone laughed……..
