Chapter 5- Confiding in Jo

Sam and Phil went through to the dining room and saw how much food Jo had brought, desert was also included. 'How much food are we planning on eating this weekend?' Sam asked.

'Enough,' Jo replied.

'We guessed that!' Phil exclaimed as he took the seat opposite Sam.

They finished eating about an hour later, 'that's got to be the best meal I've had in a long time,' Sam said.

'I try my best…especially for my two oldest friends,' Jo said as she took some of the food back through to the kitchen and came back with another bottle of wine.

'Anyone gonna help me drink this?' Jo asked, holding up the bottle of wine.

Sam and Phil smiled at Jo as they went to sit on the sofa, carrying their glasses with them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two hours later, between them Sam, Phil and Jo had managed to drink the entire bottle. Sam's head was resting on Phil's shoulder. Jo noticed this and stood up, 'I'm gonna go to bed you two,' she said as she yawned.

'I'd better get to bed too,' Sam replied as she stood up.

'I'll see you both tomorrow,' Phil said as Sam and Jo made their way over to the staircase.

'Yeah, night Phil,' Sam and Jo said in unison as they climbed up the stairs and disappeared.

Sam got to her bedroom and closed the door behind her. She got undressed and put on a pair of pyjamas before getting into bed, thinking about everything that had happened that day. Her eyelids became heavy and she slowly went to sleep.

Sam woke up very suddenly at 3 the next morning. She could hear noises coming from downstairs. Sam got out of bed to put her dressing gown on and crept downstairs to investigate. The noise was coming from the kitchen, Sam went through and found Jo sat beside the kitchen worktop with a cheesecake in front of her. 'What are you doing?' Sam asked.

'I was hungry and I fancied a little snack, do you want some?' Jo replied.

Sam smiled at her and nodded. She sat down on the stool beside Jo who sorted her out a bit of cheesecake, 'how come you're down here anyway?' Jo asked.

'I couldn't sleep, too busy thinking,' Sam replied.

'Thinking about what?'

Sam looked at Jo before she spoke again, 'Phil, do you think I was too harsh dumping him when I did?' she asked.

Jo shrugged her shoulders, 'I don't know Sam, only you can answer that question, do you love him?' she replied.

It was Sam's turn to shrug her shoulders, 'I don't know, I think I do,' she said. 'I just a little bit scared…'

'Of what?'

'I'm scared that if I do give Phil a chance, he'll treat me the same as every other woman he's been with. I love him Jo, but I'm scared of taking it that stage further,'

Jo stood up and put her arms around Sam, 'look Sam, do you want some time to talk to Phil on your own? I can always go out somewhere while you and Phil have a talk.' she said.

'Are you sure you don't mind?'

Jo shook her head, 'there's nothing that would make me happier than to see my two best mates happy together,' she said.

'Thanks Jo,' Sam replied as she ate the piece of cheesecake.

Jo smiled to herself. It was true, she'd hated it when Sam and Phil weren't talking, which is why she planned this weekend. She wanted to see them get together and if getting to agree to this was the way to do it then Jo was prepared for it.
