Chapter 11- Return and Reject

Two weeks later

'Keep the change mate,' Zain said as he paid the cab driver who'd driven him and Sam home from the airport.

The cab driver drove away, leaving Sam and Zain standing on the pavement, surrounded by their bags. She walked up the garden path and unlocked the door. The door opened and Sam walked back down the path to help Zain with the bags. A few minutes later, all of their bags had been deposited in the hallway and Sam was in the kitchen, making herself a coffee. When she'd made her coffee, Sam went into the living room and sat down on the sofa beside Zain, who draped an arm over her shoulder and dropped a kiss on his wife's head. Sam finished her coffee and gave a satisfied sigh, 'does it feel good to be back home?' Zain asked.

'No,' Sam replied. 'I'd rather still be in the Seychelles with you.'

'So would I babe but we couldn't stay there forever,'

'I know that,' Sam said as she went into the kitchen and deposited her mug in the sink. 'Are you gonna help me take the bags upstairs?'

Zain nodded as he followed Sam out of the living room.

A couple of hours later, all the bags had been unpacked and Sam had just got into bed. Zain got in beside her and kissed her softly on the lips before they both settled down and fell asleep.

Phil was woken up at 8o'clock the next morning by the sound of his mobile ringing, indicating that he'd been left a text message. He opened his eyes and looked at hi phone but didn't pick it up. About 10seconds later, his phone rang again and still Phil didn't pick it up. Another 15seconds later, his phone rang again and this time, Phil picked it up and read the most recent message. He sat up when he realised who the message was from: it was from Sam and it said: Got back from honeymoon last night, we need to talk, Sam.

Phil smiled to himself, work had been quiet without Sam and Zain and he was really looking forward to seeing both of them. He exited that message and had a look at all the others he'd received. They were all from Sam. Phil read them and they all said pretty much the same thing, that they needed to talk. He threw his phone aside and began to get dressed

Sam and Zain pulled up outside Sun Hill Station at about 8:45. They buzzed themselves into CID where they saw Jo discussing a case with Mickey. She looked up when the doors to CID swung open. 'Hey you two,' Jo said as she went over to Sam and Zain and hugged them both in turn. 'How was the honeymoon?'

'Incredible, the weather was gorgeous, the company was amazing,' Sam smiled affectionately at Zain as she spoke.

'Well, I'm glad you two had a good time,' Jo said as the doors to CID opened again and Phil entered. She turned back to Mickey and continued the discussion they were having.

'How the honeymoon?' Phil asked Sam and Zain.

'We'll tell you all about it tonight, at the pub, do you fancy it?' Zain replied.

'Yeah why not, I'll see you there,' Phil said, looking at Sam and he spoke.

Zain went over to his desk, leaving Sam and Phil on their own. 'Why didn't you reply to any of my texts?' she asked.

'I've been really busy,' Phil lied.

'I need to talk to you,' Sam whispered.

'There's nothing to say,' Phil firmly replied as he went over to his desk.

Later that evening, Sam and Zain met Phil in the Canley Arms at about 8:00. They entered the pub and saw that Phil had got them a table. 'Hey Zain, Sam,' Phil greeted them as they sat down. 'What do you wanna drink?'

'I'll have a white wine please Phil,' Sam replied.

'Beer please Phil,' Zain said.

Phil nodded and got up to go to the bar. Zain looked at Sam and kissed her softly on the lips. She kissed him back and then pulled away, smiling at him. Zain rested his hand on top of Sam's as Phil brought over the tray with their drinks on. He put the tray down and they all took their drinks off. A couple of rounds later, Zain went off to the toilet, leaving Sam and Phil alone together, again. There was silence before Sam decided to break it, 'I can't stop thinking about you Phil,' she said.

Phil looked at her, 'you'd better stop, for Zain's sake. It wasn't me who changed things, it was you that stood in front of all those people and promised that you'd be faithful to Zain 'till death do you part and all that crap,' he said, he hated pushing Sam away but he thought he was doing the right thing.

After a few more rounds of drinks, Zain and Sam decided to call it a night. They left Phil outside the pub as he'd decided to walk and not share a cab home with Sam and Zain. They hired a cab back to their house. The cab dropped them off about 15minutes later and they entered their house. No sooner had they locked the door, Sam was passionately kissing Zain as he lifted her up and carried her upstairs.

The next morning, Sam woke up and found that Zain was still asleep beside her. His arms were still wrapped around her. Sam slipped out of his embrace and went downstairs; there was something that she needed to do…

Sam closed the living room behind her as she dialled Phil's number. It rang for a while then it went to voicemail. 'Hi it's Phil. I can't take your call at the moment but leave a message and I'll get back to you,' the recorded message said.

Then came the beep and Sam left a message. 'Phil please, we need to talk, we can't leave it like this, just call me back,' she said and ended the message.

So, will Phil get the message? SPness in the next chapter, now there's an incentive for you to review. 60reviews before I post the nxt chapter, luv ya all Gemz xx
