Carly woke up the next morning with a smile on her face; she rolled over to face Griffin. He was still asleep so Carly decided to get up and surprise him by making breakfast. She headed into the kitchen and started to make eggs and bacon; once they were down she set them at the table and made a pot of coffee. She heard the door creek and she turned around to see Griffin looking amused, he smiled at her.

"Want some breakfast?" Carly asked whilst doing a cute giggle.

"Sure, thanks" He said as he sat down in front of the plate of food. Carly poured out some coffee and grabbed some for her; she sat down next to Griffin and sipped it quietly.

"Enjoy it?" Carly asked after Griffin had finished.

"It was great, thank you"

"You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it"

"I'm sorry about last night"

"It's okay"

"No it's not, I need to make it up to you" Carly cocked her head to one side and grinned cheekily.

"I can think of one or two ways you can do that"

"Oh really?"

"Oh yes!" With that Carly sat on Griffin's lap and kissed him lightly, Griffin returned the kiss. He then stood up and lifted Carly and carried her bridal style back to the bedroom.

Freddie woke up that morning and smiled, he heard someone in the kitchen. He stood up and showered before heading into the kitchen, he saw Amy with a coffee and a trashy magazine. He raised his eye brows at her but said nothing; instead he poured himself a coffee and sat down opposite her. Amy looked up and smiled, Freddie smiled back.

"Morning" Freddie said.

"You were back late last night" Amy said quietly.

"Oh yeah, I was working. There's a big project coming up and I need to be prepared, it could mean another promotion!" Freddie said lying smoothly.

"Sure" Amy said obviously not buying it.

"It's true!" Freddie insisted.

"Fine" Amy stood up and out her coffee mug into the dish washed before grabbing her purse and car keys.

"I didn't know you have work today" Freddie said.

"I'm saving up for a new dress, so I asked my boss if I could work an extra day" She then walked over and kissed Freddie gently.

"I could have bought it for you, you know" Freddie said feeling confused.

"I want to buy it for myself" Amy then smiled and waved before she walked out of the house. Freddie felt confused; Amy hated work and hated buying things for herself. It seemed strange but Freddie didn't want to waste his time on her so he decided to get some work done before he picked Sam up for lunch. He went to the fridge and grabbed a couple of beers and drained them, he had been so long, it seemed, since he had last had a drink. Then he had vodka, once he had finished his vodka he washed the bottles and up, he put the bottles in the recycle bin and the cup back into the cupboard. He ran upstairs to his office and worked until it was 11.45, then he grabbed his wallet, phones and keys and headed out to pick up Sam.

Sam was sat on the couch when Carly walked in; Sam looked up and smiled at her knowingly.

"How was last night?" Sam asked.

"It was good" Carly replied as she headed over to the fridge and grabbed some lemonade. "Want some?" She asked Sam.

"No thanks" Carly nodded and grabbed herself a glass before she sat next to Sam on the couch.

"Where are you going Missis?"

"Oh, Freddie and I are getting some lunch" Carly's eye brows raised and she sighed, she then set her drink down and looked Sam in the eye.

"Is that such a good idea? I mean I'm glad you two are sorta friends again but don't you think this is pushing it?"

"What do you mean 'pushing it'?"

"I mean you obviously want more than just a friendship and he's MARRIED Sam, you can't go around sleeping with a married man it's not right!" Carly covered her mouth as soon as she said it, she realised it was the worst possible thing to have said. "I'm so sorry Sam, I forgo, I didn't mean it" Carly placed her hand on Sam's shoulder but Sam just shrugged it off and stood up.

"You're right, I can't. When Freddie arrives please tell him something came up and I couldn't make it" Sam grabbed her bag and ran out of the apartment, Carly hit herself in the head with her hand and ran over to the phone. She dialled Griffin's number and waited for him to answer

"Hello"

"Griffin Sam's gone again!"

"Calm down, what happened?" Carly told him everything that had happened since she had gotten back from his house.

"... And then she just ran out!"

"Carly I really think she just needs space, look I mean you must have hurt her" Carly cringed and felt her face go red "And she probably just needs to think about it and sort out her feelings, we all need to do that once in a while, don't we"

"Yeah, I guess we do."

"There you go no need to worry. She'll be back this evening or at the latest tomorrow, I promise"

"Okay, thank you Griffin you're great"

"I know I am" Carly laughed lightly.

"See you later, I love you"

"I love you too" With that Carly hung up and sat back down on the sofa and sighed, she reached for her book and tried to forget about Sam but she found it increasingly hard to do.
