Was never really proud of the original Major Crimes fic I did so I decided to do something a little different.
The steam from the coffee machine hissed and filled the small coffee shop with a haze as he stood in line at the counter. This wasn't his usual coffee spot; he came from a small town in New Hampshire he enjoyed a cup of mom's coffee. However, it his patrol had been grueling this past week and he didn't even have time for a cup of coffee at home today let alone time for sleep. Andy Flynn had graduate the police academy a little over a year ago and was working patrol beats around L.A. His mother always He complimented on how dapper he looked in his pressed black uniform making even him blush a bit. By walking into the coffee shop today his plans would change in an unexpected way.
"Number 22", yells the barista behind the counter. Holding up his coffee with extra sugar and one cream. Reaching for his coffee however was stopped by a petite hand who was also reaching while looking at a book laying on the counter.
"Pay attention to what you are doing" he groused at the hand before looking up to see whom it belonged to.
He lays eyes on a woman his age wearing a pair of jeans paired with a button down top. Her light, green eyes peered out back at him from behind a pair of wire rimmed glasses. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun complete with a number 2 pencil stuck in the bun.
"Sorry" she replies pulling her hand back at the contact from his.
"I wasn't paying attention I work at the Law Office across the street and I'm doing some research".
"It's ok…I just…"
He was never one to be lost for words but he was suddenly entranced by the woman in front of him. He quickly tries to find words as she turns carrying a coffee and her book away from the counter.
"I'm uh…Andy…Andy Flynn"
"Sharon O'Dwyer" she says before heading towards the door, it's bell signaling her exit.
