Always

“How did the doctor’s go then Sam?” Phil asked, on her return to the office.

Walking over to her desk, she placed her bag on the back of her chair and looked up at Phil.

“Erm . . . oh, it was fine”, she lied. Really, she wasn’t sure what to think. Everything had been normal, until the doctor had asked her to take part in some extra test thingies.

It’s just new procedure, the doctor had told her, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

“Are you sure? You seem a little flustered. You know you can tell me anything, don’t you Sam.”

Looking up into those huge brown eyes, which were currently filled with concern, made Sam’s heart melt, and she realised, that what she was about to do was the right thing. “You busy?” she asked, her nagging doubts about the doctors already forgotten, as she led him out of the office.

Once outside the front of Sun Hill Police Station, Sam lent on the railings, facing the station, while Phil stood, somewhat uncertain, a few feet away.

“Phil, there’s something I need to tell you and I need you to understand that if you want nothing to do with it, I completely understand.”

“Huh?’ Phil frowned.

“It’s just . . . “

“Sam, you’re starting to scare me”, he joked. “Just spit it out will you?”

“Stuart and I have broken up”, she blurted.

Phil was taken aback slightly, “Oh.” Then he released that Sam must be upset, “Sam, I’m sorry, he’s an idiot.”

“I ended it Phil . . . there’s someone else.”

Phil tried to keep his voice as casual as he could as he asked, “Who?”

She looked at him, straight in the eyes, and watched as a wave of shock came over his handsome features, closely followed by confusion.

“I just, I liked Stuart, I really did, but even he noticed that we have . . . something!” she said, searching for the right word and unable to find one. “I know I’ve said some pretty nasty things to you in the past, but I think I was . . . scared!” That’s not a thing she liked to admit to.

Phil had watched Sam throughout her explanation, which wide eyes and an open mouth.

“If you want nothing to do with me, I understand. You gave me enough chances.” Sam was scared he was about to reject her, repaying all the kindness she’d shown him in the past, whenever he’d tried to ask her out. Looking at the floor, she could feel her heart beating, as the moments silence, seemed to last a lifetime, as she prepared herself for the worst.

“Are you kidding me?” Sam was still looking at the floor, and couldn’t see the huge grin that was spreading over his face.

Thinking he was being serious, Sam nodded and said, “I’m sorry, I’ll go.”

As she began to walk away, Phil grabbed her arm and said, “Don’t you dare Nixon”, before pulling her close and covering her soft lips with his own.

Sam, a little resistant at first, had melted into the kiss within seconds, wrapping her arms around his neck, while he placed his hands on her slim waist.

“Zain, quick, come here”, Jo tried to whisper to her fellow DC, who sat at his desk, next to hers.

Looking more than a little confused, he got up out of his seat and made his way over to the window, where she stood looking out onto the car park. What?”

Glancing in the direction of where she was pointing, Zain couldn’t help but gasp at what he saw. “Phil and Sam?”

Jo just stood there, watching and grinning.

“Guess he finally broke her then”, he commented.

“Oi”, Jo belittled him, “Sam does not need . . . breaking! She just needs . . . “

“Phil?”

Jo nodded, the insanely huge grin returning to her face once again.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________________


Mustering up all of her strength, Sam pulled away from Phil, gasping a little.

“Phil, we can’t, people will talk.” Looking up at the huge window of CID, which overlooked the car park, Sam felt her heart stop.

Apparently noticing too, Phil replied, “Looks like it’s a bit late for that now anyway. Let ‘em talk.” At her unconvinced smile, a thought suddenly occurred to him, “You’re not ashamed of me are you?”

“No, Phil of course not, it’s just . . . “ She trailed off, her gaze wandering back up to the second storey window, where Jo and Zain stood, apparently enjoying the show, from the grins plastered across both their faces.

“Well then”, Phil began, in a somewhat mischievous tone, “Let’s give them something to really talk about.”

“Phil? What do you . . .?”

But she never got a chance to finish her question, as he silenced her with a kiss, not quite as intense as the first had been, but still enough to make her heart do a little jump.

Temporarily forgetting the audience they had acquired, she was just getting into the kiss, when she felt Phil pull away, bend down, slide his arms behind her back and under her legs and sweep her off her feet, all in one fluid motion.

Sam couldn’t stop laughing as Phil walked towards the Main Entrance, carrying her in his strong arms. She felt a rush of love for him; it was this exact thing that made her like him so much. She loved his crazy little stunts and his unpredictability and the way he could always make her laugh, no matter how dire the situation was. In that moment, she was so happy; she couldn’t have cared less if the whole world was watching them.


It was somewhat of a struggle to get her through the door, having to crab walk sideways through the double doors, as a couple walked out tin the opposite direction, pausing to give Sam and Phil a disapproving look as they left the station.

“Phil”, Sam was still laughing, “Phil, you have to put me down. Quick, before someone see’s us.”

“DS Hunter, DS Nixon, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Oops, too late”, she whispered, still feeling a little giddy from her unusual mode of transport into the building.

Finally, placing Sam on her feet, she and Phil turned to find Superintendent Okaro coming towards them. “What on earth is going on here? DS Nixon, are you hurt?”

Sam felt guilty, as she saw genuine concern in her Super’s eyes. She had always admired Adam and felt bad that she had been caught messing around, while on duty. “Erm . . . not really Sir. I’m sorry, we were just . . . “

She glanced at Phil, willing his to come up with some reasonable excuse. She knew she would be disappointed, but still, she had to give him points for effort. “Actually, Sir, I’m afraid it’s my fault. I got a little carried away and I . . . “

“It appeared that it was Miss Nixon who was being carried away.”

It was taking all of Adam’s control not to burst out laughing at Sam’s expression of horror, at thinking she was in serious trouble, and Phil’s expression, trying his best to suppress a grin, looking like a naughty schoolboy who’d been caught sneaking an extra biscuit at dinnertime.

After a couple of moments, he could maintain his pretence no longer and let out a little giggle. At both Sam and Phil’s confused faces, he burst out in fully-fledged laughter.

Trying to regain some control over himself, he took a deep breath and addressed the two Sergeants more formally. “Please, in the future, try not to make your little show of affections in the front office.”

“Sir”, they answered in union, looking up at their commanding officer.

Walking away, they heard him mutter, “No matter how entertaining they are.”

Sam turned to shoot Phil a confused look, but while Phil was still staring after the Super, only he noticed the wink Adam gave him as he turned to go up the stairs.

Phil smiled and turning back to Sam, told her, “I think that went rather well.”

Sam didn’t know whether she wanted to hit him or hug him, so she decided to do neither, and with an exaggerated sigh, followed the direction in which the Super had gone, up to the ranks of CID, with Phil in close pursuit, asking “What?” the entire way. Sam’s only response was a smile.

that was really good - it made me laugh!!!i really want to know the news though!!!!

hehe, that chapter was quite funny, and sweet
