Here's chapter 4. Thankyou to HuXoN 4 EvA and XEmma-KeaneX for reviewing the last chapter
The bar wasn't too busy, not really surprising as it was a Monday night. Phil and Sam sat at the bar holding hands and talking about their day with Will and Emma, proud at showing off their relationship to everyone who walked by. Emma was pleased and yet slightly envious at the two of them. She was glad Sam had found someone who made her happy, like how she felt when she was with Matt. Sam didn't mind sharing the night with the two other officers, especially with everything that had happened to Emma lately, anyway she would have Phil all by herself later. Phil didn't mind either as long as Sam was happy he was happy.
Meanwhile Beth and Dan sat in the corner of the pub, enjoying each other's company and the slight privacy they had as their friends sat on the other side of the room.
"So why did it take you so long to ask me out alone?" Beth asked with a cheeky grin.
Dan smiled shyly ands shrugged his shoulders, looking towards the floor "I guess I was worried you say no and I was a bit shy. Talking to you the other day made me realise I had to at least take a chance."He confessed.
Beth giggled and put her arms around him. "You really are a big softy aren't you."
"Promise not to tell?" Dan laughed.
Beth just nodded and kissed him.
XXXXXXXX
"Well they look like they are enjoying themselves."Honey smirked, although her and Lewis sat at the opposite end of the room she could still see the kiss going on between the two officers. She was pleased that Beth and Dan had finally acted on their obvious attraction for each other, but part of her was slightly jealous that Beth had found someone she liked and liked her back.
Lewis just looked at her, grinning. He could sense the slight jealous tone of her voice. "So you're not jealous?" He asked her.
"The only thing that I'm not jealous of is the fact that it is Dan Beth is snogging the face off." Honey smiled before taking a sip at her drink, eyebrows arched.
"Don't let Dan hear you say that." Lewis commented, taking a drink, trying hard not to laugh at what Honey had just said.
They then dissolved into harmless chatter. Lewis loved her smile and the twinkle in her bright blue eyes. Honey could feel the butterflies in her stomach at the sound of his laugh, she hoped she was blushing. Honey had always liked Lewis but lately she couldn't help but feel that maybe she liked him more than a friend, since she started to get to know him better.

Will sat at the end of the bar, trying to ignore the general fatigue he felt.
"Another drink Will? My shout." Phil asked.
"Nah actually. I think I'm going to go home as I'm absolutely shattered. Thanks anyway though."Will replied tiredly.
"Alright, see you later." Phil relented, noticing how weary Will both looked and sounded.
Will waved goodbye to everyone and left, starting the walk home as the pub wasn't too far away from the house he shared with Dan. He was looking forward to just going home and sleeping, he was feeling terrible.
Back in the pub Lewis saw Will leaving and decided to make sure he was ok, concerned at how quiet Will had been all day. He quickly excused himself to Honey, leaving her talking with Emma, and followed him outside.
"Will!" Lewis shouted, "are you sure you are alright?"
Turning to face Lewis Will assured him, "yeah I'm fine, it's just been a long day. I'll see you tomorrow." He couldn't help but be touched at the fact his friend was worried about him, Lewis would never know this though, he would make sure of that.
"Ok man. See you later." Said Lewis, patting him on the shoulder and walking back inside in the pub. It was freezing outside, the cold air cutting into his skin. He couldn't help but grin at the thought of Honey warming him up...
What do you think?? Remember to R and R
