A while later Samantha retrieved her bikini and stepped inside to put it back on. She put a towel around her and handed one to Phil. She shivered a little, cuddling into Phil's body.
"New experience?" Phil asked, smirking.
"Well it was an experience!" She laughed.
It was Valentine's day in a few days time and Samantha was sure that Phil was planning something. There were too many hushed phone conversations for her liking but no matter what she did she couldn't find out what he was up to. They were at Phil's house one night when he suddenly spoke.
"Sam, do you mind if I buy you sexy lingerie for Valentine's Day?" she looked at him confused "Would you be offended?"
"No, should I?"
"No, it's just some girls are!"
"Oh ... No I don't mind ... but you don't have to buy me anything!"
"You've bought me something!" He protested.
"I know but that's because I know you too well and I know that you'll totally ignore what I say and buy me something anyway!" He grinned.
"So are you gonna tell me what your planning?" Sam asked
"I'm planning nothing!" He said keeping quiet.
On Valentine's morning Sam awoke as normal in Phil's arms. He was watching her sleep, something which she had grown used to. He slid out from underneath her and disappeared downstairs. A few minutes later he reappeared with a tray with coffees and toast on.
"Awwww I get breakfast in bed ... That's sweet baby!" She kissed his cheek.
"You can't have your present til later!" He said.
"Oh ok ... Well neither can you!"
They arrived at work just after 9. As soon as Sam sat down, Honey phoned her to tell her some flowers had arrived for her. She went down and smiled to herself when she was handed 4 red roses. There was no card but sam laready knew who they were from. She went back up the the CID office and placed the roses in a vase of water. She settled down to work, avoiding Phil's gaze, smirking as she felt him watching her. At lunchtime Sam was about to go out with Phil to lunch when another 4 red roses arrived for her, again no card.
"They're really beautiful!" she smiled.
Samantha was about to leave to go home when another 4 red roses arrived, making a total of twelve. She smiled at Phil's ability to organise something so romantic and she had a sneaky feeling that this was only the beginning.
Phil hadn't told her what or where they were going that night. All she knew was that she had to bring a toothbrush so she was guessing that she was staying at his. So Sam had time to shower and change before leaving her house again. Phil rang the doorbell and was stood talking to Abi while Sam found shoes and a bag.
"So are you gonna tell me what we're doing?" She asked, getting into his car.
"I suppose I can tell you now!" He said. "Well you're probably thinking that we're going to a restaurant or something ... but we're not!"
"So what are we doing?"
"Well I thought it might be more romantic to cook for you ... all from scratch!"
"That is very romantic, we can be alone then!" She smiled, liking this idea. They arrived at Phil's house and he took her stuff and dumped it in the bedroom. She went into the kitchen and saw the table decorated with a dark red tablecloth with white rose petals sprinkled over and white scented candles.
"Phil, it's really romantic!" she said, looking around the dimly lit room. She hugged him, kissing his forehead. "So what are we eating?"
"We are having spaghetti! Hopefully we won't get as messy as last time though!" He laughed referring to the time when they had take away spaghetti in a hotel but with no forks.
"Ohh that was fun!" She smiled.
They sat down to eat, Phil played some slow music in the background. All Sam could see was Phil, everything else disappeared and melted. 'Would you dance if I asked you to dance? Would you run and never look back? Would you cry if you saw me crying? And would you save my soul, tonight? Would you tremble if I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die for the one you loved? Hold me in your arms, tonight. I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away. Would you swear that you'll always be mine? Or would you lie? would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care... You're here tonight. I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away.' (Hero - Enrique Iglesias)
"You know, you're not a bad cook! ... You kept that quiet!" He nodded as they curled up on the sofa together. "So can I open my present now?" She asked hopefully.
"Ok, I'll go and get it! ... Have I got a present?"
"Of course!" She took 4 objects from a bag. "I think you'll really love these!" She laughed to herself. He came back with 3 objects in a bag. The bag gave nothing away though, it had no name. He handed her one which was was light and felt like an empty box. She opened it, looking at him suspiciously. She opened it to find an Ann Summers box. Sam raised an eyebrow at him.
"You did say you didn't mind me buying you sexy underwear!" He smirked. She opened the box to find scarlett red underwear amongst tissue. She held it out so she could look at it properly. It was very pretty, red lace with ribbons tied at the sides that cascading down.
"It's really pretty!" She kissed his cheek.
"I think you should try it on!" He smirked.
"I will later!" She promised. He handed her another present the same shape. Sam opened the box, from the same shop, and picked up a red see through nightie.
"Someone spent a long time in a certain shop!" She smirked, noticing that the sheer halterneck fabric left absolutely nothing to the imagination, exactly how Phil liked it. She kissed him softly to show her appreciation. He handed her her final present from the bag. This was bigger and in a solid box. Sam looked at the box but she couldn't work out what it contained. She fought through the mass of selotape and managed to open the top. Polystyrene fell out at her as she tried to pull the object out. She looked in confusion at Phil, the object was silver with a black base. Then she realised what it was. Her face lit up.
"A chocolate fountain! Can we try it out now?" She asked as a bag of chocolate fell out at her. Sam was really excited, she made Phil set it up so they could test it out. She kissed and thanked him for her presents.
"You have to open your's now! They're aren't as exciting as a chocolate machine but I think they'll bring you more enjoyment!" She giggled handing him the bag. Sam had brought him a photographic copy of the Karma Sutra which she had to say was also for her enjoyment, an ultimate sex guide book with DVD and a voucher for a driving experience of a car of your choice. Sam knew this was something that he had always wanted to do. He was very excited with the driving experience but was also looking forward to using his other presents.
Sam went and tried on the underwear and nightie and went back into the living room to show Phil. She sat on his lap while he showed her something in his new book. She giggled. He kissed along her jawline.
"I've got something else for you too!" He suddenly announced, disappearing into the other room. He came back with a small box that had been neatly gift wrapped.
"Is this another present?" He nodded. She opened the box to find a white gold floating heart necklace, encased with diamonds. Samantha had once had a Saturday job as a jeweller and she appreciated how expensive it was.
"It's really beautiful but this must have cost a fortune!" She gave it to him so that he could put it on for her.
"You're worth every penny!" He placed the necklance around her neck, kissing the skin where his fingers touched.
I think I'm gonna end this here for now. I know I said that I had an idea which I still quite like but it would involve lots and lots of chapters. I may update at some point though. Thank you for all the reviews and for everyone who has read. Look out for my other stories, I have a few ideas that hopefully I'll be writing soon!
