Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

"So," Phil grinned, "Time to make the game our own," he led her through to his lounge.

It looked exactly the same as when she'd last seen it. A mess. Empty plates, dirty clothes and old newspapers littered the floor, cleaning was not his strong point.

"What do you mean?" She asked nervous.

"Everyone plays Strip poker, this is our signature game,"

"Yeah, what?"

"Strip chess,"

Sam snorted unwillingly, quickly hiding her mouth with her hand,

"Since when could you play chess??"

Phil rolled his eyes ignoring her,

"Why? You scared?" He pulled the chess set out from under some magazines and sat down in front of it, "You lose a pawn, you lose an item of clothing,"

She sat down shaking her head. It had shocked her enough that Phil possessed a chess board, let alone that he knew how to play.

Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Ten minutes later a few pawns had left the table. Sam was grateful she had left her coat on before beginning. It lay beside her now, alongside her jacket. Phil had lost his too. She watched him biting her lip as she realised her big mistake. Wtih a swift move Phil took her queen.

"Now Sam that warrents three bits of clothing i'd imagine," he teased.

Slowly, but only half reluctantly Sam removed her top, skirt and tights. She shivered as she was left in just her thin underwear. She could feel Phils eyes someway from the board as she made her next move, allowing her to capture his bishop.

"What do you want? My trousers or shirt?"

"Shirt," She said with a moments consideration. As Phil removed it reveiling his tanned, muscled chest she knew she'd just lost heself the game. Her eyes could not stay away. It wasn't going to help Phil's ego either she realised with a sigh.

Like a river flows(Ooooh ooh ooh)
To the sea
So it goes(Ooooh ooh ooh)
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

They both stared into eachothers eyes as Phil made the winning move,

"What does that warrant?" She asked without breaking eye contact.

He gently pushed her to the floor, kissing her and slowly removing what clothes she had left. Her mind told her not to let this happen but her heart was winning for a change. After all it was just 'one last time' to get him out of her system.

Take my hand (Take my hand)
Take my whole life too (life too)
For I can't help falling in love with you

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I, I can't, I can't help falling in love (falling in love)
With you (with you)

Who was she kidding? Sam could never get Phil out of her system and Phil knew he was definitly in the same boat. All thoughts of Mia had long left his mind and as his lips grazed Sam's soft skin he knew they were gone for good.

"Check mate," He murmered.

They lay together for what seemed like hours before beginning to retreive their clothes. As Phil scrambled for his trousers however Sam pulled on his shirt. He turned in annoyance at not being able to find it to see her sitting , perched on the edge of the sofa, in just his shirt and her underwear.

"..." His mouth opened but no words came out.

"Can i stay here tonight?" she asked quietly, "For old times sake?"

"Sam i don't think it's for old times sake any more," he replied taking her hand and leading her gently upstairs.

Like a river flows(Ooooh ooh ooh)
To the sea
So it goes(Ooooh ooh ooh)
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand (Take my hand)
Take my whole life too (life too)
For I can't help falling in love with you

As she curled up in his arms her head on his chest she could feel his heart beating fast. His breath warm on the top of her head, and his arms strong and safe and good. He could feel her hair tickeling his face and the warmth of her body something he had missed immensly allthough he had barely felt it before.

"What happens now?" She whispered,

"La coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait point" He replied,

"Huh?" she lifted her head to look him in the face but he softly pushed her back down.

"The heart has it's reasons where as reason knows nothing,"

Take my hand (Take my hand)
Take my whole life too (life too)
For I can't help falling in love (falling in love with you)
with you

For I can't help
falling in love
falling in love with you

(Dj Boonie-can't help falling in love with you)
