“What a day”, Sam complained, as she dropped down into her seat at her desk. She had been working with Phil all day on a case, involving a robbery, and two very reluctant witnesses. It turned out that the mother of a young teenage boy was actually her moth-in-law, who incidentally he hated, and so he’d broken into his own house and stolen all her jewellery and stuff to try and scare her away. In the end, no charges had been made and Phil and Sam had ended up working as a couple of social workers, instead of the trained Detectives that they were. Sam did not like to have her time wasted, running around of a wild goose chase.

Phil, who had followed her into CID came up behind her and began massaging the tense muscles in her shoulders. Sam looked around the office self-consciously; they had already been caught once today. The Super had been understanding, even happy, but she knew any more would be taking the Michael.

However, upon looking around, she saw not another soul in CID.

And it has been a hard day, she told herself.

Closing her eyes, she leant her head back on her chair and let Phil work his magic; he was pretty good. Just as she felt the knots in her muscles being rubbed out, Phil’s voice invaded her thoughts.

“You know what you need?”

Sam, who couldn’t force herself to open her eyes, replied, “Another one of you, I can put in my bag for when I’m stressed?”

Phil chose to ignore the comment, although he did smile. “A drink. Fancy going to the pub after work?”

“Sure”, Sam said, a little dreamily.

Noticing Sam was leaning back on her chair, with her eyes still firmly shut, Phil leant down over the top of her head and planted a sweet kiss on her lips. Surprised at first, Sam opened her eyes to see Phil’s upside down smile, as he leant over from behind her.

Placing a hand on the back of his neck, she pulled his closely until their lips met again, and again.

Obviously pre-occupied, neither Sam nor Phil had noticed Jo enter. Walking over to her desk with a roll of her eyes, she sat down, telling the couple to “Get a room”. Jumping apart like someone had fired a gun, Sam went an immediate shade of red.

“You shouldn’t sneak up on people like that”, Sam told her.

“Hey, there was no sneaking on my part Sarge. It’s you two”, she informed them, motioning around the otherwise empty room to emphasise her point. “Look, you’ve scared everyone else away.”

“Ha ha, DC Masters, very funny”, Sam said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Don’t you have work to be doing?”

“Hey, my fingers are working overtime here.”

Sam smiled at her, before the young DC turned back around to her desk.

Phil, who had watched the encounter between the two women in silence, kissed Sam on the forehead, before moving back off to his own desk. “I’ll pick you up at 8, ok?”

Sam nodded, “Fine”.

“Listen, I have to go out for a bit, but I’ll see you later”.

“Bye.”

Walking out of the office, Phil walked past Jo, who had her back turned to wards him, so he didn’t see the huge grin spread out across the DC’s face, as she turned to watch him exit CID.

Oooooo, what's Phil up to? Good thing hopefully. And what's the whole doctor's thing? Is it a bad thing or good thing at all or maybe it'll be making you think it's really bad or something then it's wonderful. Well, superm update hun.

“Gin and tonic?” Phil asked as he took his jacket off and placed it next to Sam at the only empty table left in the pub.

Taking her own jacket off, Sam nodded, “Please.”

As he made his way over to the bar, Sam couldn’t help but notice how good he looked tonight. In his burgundy, muscle hugging shirt (and my, those were good muscles), and jeans, she realised he didn’t look that different to the way he did everyday at work. It was more like, she was seeing him properly for the first time – and she liked what she saw. He turned round to smile and her, and realising she was string, she smiled back and made a show of getting her phone out of her little handbag, intending to text Abi and let her daughter know where she was.

Standing at the bar, waiting to get served. Phil couldn’t help but feel a little like he was mixed up in some sort of dream. Turning round to see her sitting at their table waiting for him, he thought, ‘Well, she’s still here at least’. He had been waiting for this opportunity for so long and he didn’t intend wasting it. He found his mind wandering to how good Sam looked tonight. Not that she didn’t always look good to him, but in her strappy baby pink top, light blue jeans and pink flip flops, she looked very different to the suit-clad Sam he was accustomed to.

After paying for their drinks, Phil made his way back over to where Sam sat, placing the drinks in front of her.

There was an awkward silence for a couple of minutes, before they both started to talk at exactly the same time.

Laughing it off, Phil told Sam, “You go first.”

“Oh, it wasn’t important, I was just going to ask if you’ve seen Maddie or Alfie recently?” Seeming to realise what se had said, she tried to amend “Not that they’re not important. I Just meant you know, it wasn’t a matter of life or death that I asked you right this second. Of course they’re important. I’m sorry.”

Phil smiled at her little outburst. “I know what you meant. I spoke to Kate last week and she said Alfie’s doing great. As for Maddie, I haven’t spoken to her for a couple of months now, but last time I did she was ok.”

Seeing a pained expression come over his handsome features, she realised what an idiot she was – she had brought up the single most painful subject Phil could talk about.

Way to go Nixon, she told herself.

“I’m sorry Phil, I didn’t mean to pry. I just . . .”

“It’s alright Sam, I know you meant well.”

Feeling the need to change the subject, Sam asked, “What were you going to say, then?”

“Oh, nothing. It doesn’t matter.”

Sam noticed his cheeks redden a little. “Come on Phil, what was it?”

“Really, Sam, it doesn’t matter. I was just being stupid as usual.”

Her raised eyebrows said it all, and Phil was just about to tell her what was on his mind when the doors to the pub burst open and half of the Metropolitan Police walked in.

Jo Masters was in the lead, visually searching the pub. Upon spotting Sam and Phil sat in the corner, she motioned for the other to follow, as she made her way towards them.

The cheekiest grin Sam had ever seen plastered all over the DC’s face, she went for sarcasm, “Fancy seeing you two here.”

only a short one i know, but i didn't realise it was this short - sorry! it's a short but sweet chapter.

hope you enjoyed anyway!
