A more than friendly face

Part 1

It was half 8 in the morning and there were only two people in CID. Sam Nixon and Grace Dasari were working early on an assault case, when Sam heard someone from behind her.

"Sam, can we talk?"

"No Stuart, I'm busy with this case." She didn't turn around to face where he was standing by the doors.

"Sam, please."

"No, just go away we're busy."

As Stuart left, Grace turned to Sam.

"What was that all about?"

"Oh nothing. He's my ex."

"You used to go out with him?"

"Yeah, I don't know why though so don't ask."

"Ok, I won't."

They set to work on their case again, going through the witness statements that seemed to contradict each other. They kept going over them for about half an hour before someone entered the room. They could hear the footsteps, but their backs were facing the door. Grace turned her head to the door and Sam saw her face, but she never turned around.

"Stuart if that's you, please leave I can't deal with you now." She got no reply, and the footsteps got closer and closer. "I don't have time for this right now. Just…"

She trailed off as two arms slipped round her waist and one hand moved to sweep the hair from the back of her neck and someone started to kiss her neck softly. She inhaled deeply.

"Phil." She spoke softly and a little louder than a whisper. She spun around, still in his arms and gasped, smiling and put her hands on his chest.

"Hi Sam."

"You came back." She had tears in her eyes.

"How could I not?" he moved the hair from her face with the back of his hand and ran it down the side of her face, she held it to her cheek gently and closed her eyes.

"Erm…Sam… I'm going to see if I can find Jo, go through those statements with her." Grace left the room with raised eyebrows.

"Why did you come back?"

"I came back because of you."

"Are you back for good?"

"If you'll have me." She laughed.

"I've missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

"I shouldn't have broken up with you. I knew I loved you; I just got scared when you said you loved me. Those three little words, I was scared of what might happen…I…"

"Shh… shh. It's ok. I've made a fair few mistakes before." She giggled and smiled up at him. "But the biggest mistake of my life was leaving and not telling you how I felt."

She looked away briefly before turning back to him.

"You did. You told me you loved me. But the biggest mistake of my life was letting you walk out those doors, because all I wanted to do was stop you. Kiss you. Tell you not to leave and that I loved you too, but I couldn't."

He held her close to him and she laid her head on his chest and put her arms around his neck.

"It's all going to be fine. I'm here now, and I'm not going to leave you…ever."

"Phil…" she looked up at him with her sparkling green eyes. "I love you." She reached up and kissed him softly. "Come on." She took his hand and led him into her office.
