Chapter 5- A Forbidden Kiss

Sam and Zain finished work at about 6 that evening and it was raining. 'Great!' Sam moaned as she made a run to her car, 'you can drive,' she added, chucking the keys to Zain.

She and Zain got into the car, he started the engine and they drove off. Sam got her phone out and rang Phil, intending to ask him why he wasn't at the rehearsal. He didn't answer, the phone just kept ringing. She eventually hung up, 'some friend he is, no message from Phil and he's not answering his phone,' Sam said.

'You know what he's like Sam. I mean he's our best mate and everything but we can't keep letting him off the hook,' Zain replied.

'Zain!' Sam said indignantly.

'It's not good enough Sam; he knows how important this is to us. I want everything to be perfect and Phil just goes and screws everything up, as usual,'

'There might be a reasonable explanation but you're right, I want it to be perfect and I don't want him spoil our day,'

'He won't Sam, I won't let it happen,'

'That's not the point,'

'It'll be great Sam, I promise,'

'It's going to be a fiasco,'

Zain pulled the car in, stopping on the High Street before turning to his fiancée. 'What the hell is wrong with you Sam? You think that this wedding is going to be a fiasco but you change that. If this wedding is going to be perfect, you've got to be willing to put the work in to make it that way but to me, you don't seem that bothered,' he said.

Sam stayed silent, she left it a few moments before she spoke again, 'what's changed between us Zain?' she asked.

'When we met Sam, you were the most ambitious person I'd ever met, you had passion and drive. That's what I loved about you, what's changed Sam?'

Sam stayed silent again. 'I'll tell you what's changed shall I Zain? We got engaged! You selfish self-centred bastard!' she said as she got out of the car and began to walk away.

'Sam!' Zain called after her but it was no use.

Zain got out of the car and followed her down the High Street, it was still raining and they were both getting soaked. 'Where are going?' He called.

'Anywhere that's away from you!' Sam shouted.

'Why are you making such a big deal about this Sam?'

Sam didn't answer, instead, she turned back to face Zain and walked back towards him. 'Tell me something Zain, if I've changed so much since we met, since we got together then why are you marrying me?' she asked.

'Right now Sam, I have absolutely no idea,'

Tears began to well up in Sam's eyes as she walked past Zain and got into the car, getting into the drivers seat. 'Sam!' Zain called as he ran back to the car as she pulled away.

Zain sighed to himself as he watched the car disappear out of sight. He immediately felt guilty about arguing with Sam, it wasn't her fault that their best man was a liability. Zain began to back walk down the High Street, intending to go back home.

Sam pulled up outside Phil's house about 10minutes later. She walked up the path and knocked on Phil's door. Sam saw a figure come to the door and unlocked it. Phil stood in the doorway, looking down at Sam. 'He doesn't love me,' she said as she stepped inside and put her coat on hanger.

'He does love you Sam, I know he does,' Phil said as he followed Sam into the living room, it hurt him saying those but he knew deep down, it was true.

'How can you be so sure? I wanna be loved, truly loved by someone, not second best,' Sam said as she let the tears fall from her eyes as she sat down on the sofa.

'You are Sam,' Phil said as he sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her until her tears subsided.

Sam looked up at Phil, gazing into his eyes, 'how come you weren't at the rehearsal?' she asked.

'I just couldn't go through with it,'

'Why not?'

Phil took a deep breath before he spoke again, 'you know why,' he said, when Sam didn't answer, he continued. 'The woman that I love…no-one's as good as her, no-one had even come close. I've loved her from almost the first moment we met, I had chances to take things further, but I didn't take them. But now, I have to put those thoughts to the back of my mind, because I can't have her. She's with someone else.'

Sam looked at Phil, at a complete loss for anything to say, 'what if she wasn't?' she asked in barely more than a whisper.

A small smile played across Phil's face. They leant closer together and kissed passionately. Sam and Phil stood up as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled away and lifted her top over her head, leaving it on the floor at her feet. Phil lifted her up so that her legs were wrapped around his waist and they passionately kissed once more. Phil's tongue entered Sam's mouth and met hers, her heartbeat quickened. She moaned softly as Phil's tongue gently probed her mouth, she could taste him now and Sam didn't want it to stop…

Oooh, cliff-hanger! So, will Sam and Phil go all the way? Will the wedding still go ahead? These questions will be answered in the next chapter if you review ;)
