Specialist crimes and sacrifices

Chapter 11

Sam stood beside her car for a few moments, sobbing silently to herself, before reaching into her bag to look for her car keys.

All of a sudden, she was grabbed by her upper arm, and shoved into the wall at the side of the station.

"Not again Phil, please."

"You have to listen to me."

"I'm sorry, that never should've happened. I shouldn't have let it happen."

"Sam, it was a kiss."

"And it shouldn't have happened." She started to walk away, but he shoved her against the wall more forcefully to stop her from moving.

"I know it was what you wanted, I could tell."

He moved his hands down to her waist, and leaned closer to her, until his lips caught hers. She stopped struggling, and relaxed. She responded, but once again, she pulled away when he tried to deepen the kiss.

"No, I can't."

"This is what you want?" he asked, curious about how she was acting.

"Yes, I know, but I just can't, it's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"You can't just kiss me."

"Maybe it won't be just a kiss."

"What the hell are you talking about? He looked into her eyes, and swept a stray hair from her face. "I won't be another notch on your bed post. I just won't!"

"You could never be that."

"Whichever way you put it, that's all I can be." She sighed.

She struggled and tried to walk away.

"Stop it! Stop trying to get away."

"You're going away, and I don't want a one night stand."

"I'm not going anywhere, and I don't want a one night stand either." He laughed.

"You're not? And you don't? Hold on, no your new job, it's in Manchester."

"I didn't take the job."

"What?" she raised her voice a little louder than she intended.

"Don't tell me you're not pleased, Abi told me you were upset because I was leaving, and that's why you were acting strange. She also told me that you said you had feelings for me."

"So you turned down the job so you could get me into bed?" Sam was furious.

"No, please no Sam, that's not how it was. You know I've changed and I wouldn't do that to you." He stroked the side of her face.

"No?"

"No silly. I'd already turned the job down when Abi called." He sighed. "

That's why I was late today, I was finalising it with Neil. The job's going to be offered to Stuart. I only said I wanted to be considered for the job to wind him up." He sighed again.

"Truth is I couldn't leave you, I love you."

"Ahh you can be so sweet. But don't call me silly!"

They kissed again, this time it was Sam's tongue that slipped inside Phil's mouth, taking him by surprise. She pulled herself away from the wall, and into his arms, gripping gently to his arms, just above his elbows.

Starting off as a soft kiss, it gradually became more and more passionate, until they both pulled away breathing heavily, Sam still in Phil's arms.

"It's a bit cold out here isn't it?" Phil was heavily hinting.

"Well, Abi's not at mine tonight, so maybe…"

"You're on. Come on let's get going then."

Sam kissed him again, more passionately than before as they made their way to her car. She broke away and started rummaging through her bag. Phil leant against her car and dangled something in front of her face.

"Is this what you're looking for?" he jingled the car keys in front of her, and held them above her head, slightly out of reach.

"You had them the whole time?" she glared at him jokingly.

"You didn't think I would chance you getting away did you?"

"Oh I love it when you're bad."

"Ooh, are you going to have to punish me?"

"Yeah I'll have to."

She put her hand round the back of his neck and pulled him into a kiss, and grabbed the set of keys from him as he lowered them slowly.

"Thank you." She whispered seductively as she unlocked the car.
