YOU WITH ME - A B99 STORY (OC x OC)

Beach House-2

The squad was huddling like penguins in the cold winter as they walked at the beach while the wind howled. Holt pranced ahead like a papa penguin and Jake followed him. Hitchcock and Scully were fine, as long as they munched on some chicken strips and Amy tried to keep herself warm by dancing, at least trying to dance.

Sam and Nick walked behind them all, holding their hands together in Nick's jacket pocket. "This is nice. I mean, the wind is unexpected but welcome and bracing." Holt said to Jake who walked next to him. "Yeah. It's like a thousand little needles of happiness shooting into your face." Jake spoke with undertone of sarcasm. 

"Mm. I'm so cold. Even my fiery dance moves aren't keeping me warm." Amy said, her teeth chattering due to the cold as she danced, while on her third drink.. "The trick is, you got to be prepared. Mini cognac, ladies?" Terry offered, joining them and pulling out three small shot sized bottles of whiskey from his fanny.

Gina and Amy took it happily. "Four drinks. Mm, mm, mm." Amy hyped herself. Thank you, Terry's fanny. And thank you, Poseidon, great God of the sea!" Gina shouted to the beach.

"Well, we've been walking for about 20 minutes, so... So we should probably turn around in another 20." Holt said to Jake. "Good plan... an 80-minute walk on the beach." Jake replied a little loudly.

"Ok, that's it. I'm not walking at the beach for the next hour." Nick said to himself and halted. "Babe.." Sam warned him, not wanting to hurt Holt's sentiments. "We're here to have time for ourselves, let's do that. Let's sneak out from here." he reasoned. 

"I know, but then what to do we say to the Captain?" Sam asked him. Nick thought over for about five seconds before he pushed Sam onto the ground. "Ow!" Sam yelped at the sudden push. 

"Just play along." he whispered to her before acting to tend to her. "Uh guys! I think Sam's sprained her ankle! We'll head back to the beach house!" Nick excused to the other perfectly and Holt replied with an "Alright, take care!" before continuing to walk.

Sam smiled at Nick's quick thinking. He proceeded to pick her up in his arms. "You're a genius, you know that?" she complimented him and kissed his cheek as they returned back.

About an hour later, Nick and Sam both fell onto the bed, their naked bodies finally relaxing as Nick pulled up sheets on them both. "That was amazing." Sam said, slightly out of breath. "So are you." he replied smoothly with a smile. "I love you." he added.

"I love you too." Sam turned closer to him, and he cuddled her in his arms as they shared a small yet passionate kiss. Just then, they heard the commotion in the house as everyone was back now. "I guess we'll have to dress up now." Sam said with a small sigh but a smile remained on her face. 

"I guess we have to. By the way, you gotta pretend a sprain." Nick laughed and started to dress up. "I know, thanks to you." Sam rolled her eyes and extended her arms for Nick to pull her up from the bed and he did it easily, while also capturing her lips with his for a small second.

They both walked out of their room after a while in their casual sweatpants. They both met with Jake first. "We're all heading to the hot tub." he said, his teeth chattering. "We'll join you guys too." Sam said. "Sure you can with you "sprained" ankle?" Jake asked, pulling air quotations. "Alright, be there in 5."

A little later, the squad was now all seated in the hot tub, the bubbling warm water helping to de-freeze some of their bodies. Sam and Nick were beginning to sweat after their previous little workout. Gina, Amy, Rosa and Sam were seated next to each other in their bathing suits while Nick was next to his girlfriend's side, followed by the men next to his other side.
