Sam had been quite deep in a sleep. A grunt and a moan of a deep throated pain, flew her eyes open in complete panic.
She scrambled up unfocussed and a little disorientated.
A loud gasp escaped her lips, when she saw Neil.
He was.....God...he sweati...
Sam felt her heart beat faster than it possibly could. She felt Neil's gaze dig holes by the side of her neck. She couldn't possibly look around at him for fear that her heart would give out.
She saw that Dev was about to order their dinner, but Sam clutched her hand on his. Her hard nails biting on his skin.
"Let's go dance." She said urgently and desperately.
Dev looked down at her death grip hold and then slid his gaze at her eyes. His green eyes turned speculative on her face.

"What's wrong, Sam. Seriously, what is it?" He asked deeply, his voice a no nonsense. Sam gulped hard.
"It's nothing. Let's just dance. Please?" She asked him as well as pleaded with her eyes.
Dev looked all over at her face worriedly for a second. He sighed and nodded his head.
They both got up and walked away hand in hand, ignoring the still hovering waiter.
Thank god, she thought.
They reached to the very end corner. A sort of a space as centre stage for dancing. Sam put her left hand on Dev's left shoulder. His left hand at her waist and their right hands joined together outstretched in a stance.
They both swayed to the smooth flow of the piano sounds.
"You're acting crazy." Dev leaned down and whispered.
"I'm a lot more crazier than this, Dev. Hope you didn't forget that." Sam smiled wide up at him.

Dev did not return the smile. But his eyes flashed all over her face. His gaze thoughtful.
"It's something bothering you too much, and you're hiding it behind this false smile. I hope that you will talk about it, Sam?" Dev said looking down deep into her eyes.
His eyes glimmered dark foresty now and his lips thinned out and he seemed to be waiting.
"Dev....I." She started to blurt out all her worries, stopping dead in the swaying when his phone started ringing.
