Chapter 2: Saying 'NO'
"You mean that? You really 'like' me, like in an 'I fancy you' kind of way?"
"Yeah. I do, I really do."
Phil leaned into Sam, going in for a kiss.
"Sorry Phil, I can't do this, not when im with Stuart. That would be harsh on him. I just can't cheat on some-one. I know you like me and I really like you back but I still care about Stuart and if you cared about me you'd understand."
Phil stared at the dash board, completely humiliated by his best friend. He had always known that he had a good relationship with Sam but right now it felt like his whole world had come crashing down around him.
Beep. Beep. Beep
The awkward silence around them was broken by Sam's phone beeping loudly.
"It's Stuart. I need to take this call."
Phil waved her away with his hand. Sam picked up.
"Heya! How are you? What you're in the runnings for being promoted? That's great! Yeah were on Canley Road, traffic's terrible. Lunch? What time? Okay…so the Blue Dragon at half one? Okay. Bye…what? Oh, well I've got to go. See you later."
"Phil?"
"What?"
"Stuart's just told me he loves me! This is awful!"
"Why? I thought you were happy with him? What are you on Sam; you can't have me and him so make up your bloody mind!"
Sam stared at him, shocked by what had just come out of his sexy, moist mouth.
Phil got a call; he picked up and listened, not saying anything.
"The case has already been dealt with. We both have the rest of the afternoon off"
