A/N: Hey all! This is my second attempt at a fanfic. Yes, I am still working on my other one, and I know it has been FOREVER since I updated it, but it will happen soon. This idea popped into my head and I thought I would post it on here. It was originally written to be a one-shot, but I have an idea for a follow-up chapter. Reviews are greatly appreciated (good and bad, they help me get better as a writer) and let me know if you would like me to post a follow-up chapter. Also just a quick note since this is how it starts off: the Italics are their thoughts.

Disclaimer: I don't own Rookie Blue. I'm just looking forward to S3 in June!

'Swarek, just man up. What are you waiting for? You've been seeing the girl for how long now? She has been in your life for nearly two years, just go ask her. It's just a simple date- granted you already have slept with her, hell you didn't just sleep with her, you made love to this woman, the woman of your dreams, but you can't even ask her out on a date? What's wrong with you? '

Sam shook his head trying to get rid of the thoughts making their way through his brain. He was already dating her, but still had thoughts of rejection and he was scared things wouldn't turn out as planned. McNally was it for him, but he still didn't want to make a fool out of himself. He asked her if she wanted things to be normal and he has yet to hold up his end of the deal.

He is already off shift as he looks over and sees her walking into the barn to hang up her uniform before their two-day weekend starts. 'Ah hell, let me just ask her,' he thinks as he walks over to the gorgeous brunette now sitting at her desk.

"Mc… Andy?" He states because he wants her to know this is about them and not about the job.

"Yeah Sam," She says looking up with a grin stretching from ear to ear. Just the thought of Sam being all hers makes her face turn a slight pinkish color. He is standing in front of her with that tight magenta color looking shirt wrapped around his biceps and chest. She can see every defined muscle in his upper body and it takes everything in her power to not jump him right then and there. If it wasn't for the six other officers walking in and out of the lobby she would have done just that.

"I… I uh… What are you doing tonight?" he finally managed to spit out.

There was a quiet silence between the two.

'Why is she staring at me with that weird look. I mean obviously I know what she is doing tonight, we have had the same routine for over 2 months now. I know we… uh, live together, but can't she at least humor me here and answer my question? She is still staring at me with that confused look and with her nose all scrunched up. Dammit Swarek, cat got your tongue. Now, of all times you do not know what to say. Sammy, she is your girlfriend what the hell could go wrong. Why are you even stressed about this?' Okay… still no response, this isn't like McNally, maybe I should ask another way.'

"What I meant was, uh, would you go on a date with me tonight?"

She let out the slightest chuckle wondering if he was serious. "Sam, do you even have to ask?"

'Okay, now you gotta explain Sammy.'

"Andy, I mean a real date. Like what normal people do."

Andy suddenly realizes that they have never even been on an actual date. Three months ago she saw him undercover, broke the rules and when the dust finally settled they decided to jump right into a relationship. I mean they had been friends for a long time, best friends even. He needed her just as much as she needed him, but even after deciding to take the normal relationship route things had yet to be normal. With all the events that took place in her life she was unable to buy the house she had her eyes set on and after talking to Sam about their relationship and realizing how short life was (especially being cops) she moved in with him almost immediately after the suspension. She wanted to be as close to him as possible for as long as possible, forever even, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

'How have we gotten this far into a relationship and never been on an actual date?' she thought.

Suddenly she felt really giddy inside. She was like a 5-year old kid who just walked into a candy store. She smiled and stood up to be able to look him deep in his eyes. Her left hand grabbed his waist pulling him closer and her right hand sat flat against his chest. "Of course, I would love to go on a normal date with you Sam Swarek."

Sam let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He wasn't expecting her to say no, but even after everything they had been through together he was just as nervous to ask her out on that date as he would be for any other first date. He wasn't sure why, but McNally just had that effect on him. She made him weak in the knees and it was hard to breath around her. He was a confident man, but around McNally that was all shot to hell. He wanted things to work out so badly with this woman he had fallen so madly in love with that he stumbled over his words anytime he wanted to talk to her about anything that fell under the 'important' category – excluding work.

"I'll pick you up at 8," Sam stated.

"Pick me up at 8? Uh, Sam did you forget that I live with you now?" Andy chuckled out.

"I know, but I wanted to do this the right way. The normal way, Andy. Which is why I grabbed my things and I will be getting ready at Oliver's place before coming to get you," he said with a smile.

Andy gave him a quizzical look before nodding her head as if to say okay.

"Oh hold on there Mr. Swarek, where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise Ms. McNally," Sam said as he leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose.

"But how should I dress?"

"However you want, but don't wear too much, it will be harder to take it all off later," he said with a smirk.

"SAM!" she playfully slapped his chest. "I'm being serious. And you should know I don't sleep with anyone on the first date."

Sam looked at her wondering if her statement was serious or if she was just playing with his mind, because she was very well capable of doing just that. They had been sleeping together since before they were actually together. 'Would she really hold out on me now? Swarek, She is obviously just joking. Stop over thinking it.'

"Okay, Okay its nothing too fancy. Just hurry up and get out of here," he said as he shrugged off her comment and his hand slid down from her waist and pinched her butt.

She gave him a beautifully radiant smile before grabbing a handful of his backside herself.

They both chuckled and were lost in each other's eyes before they were snapped out of it by another officer making commotion across the room.

Sam checked his watch."We will never make it on time if we don't get out of here. I'm giving you two hours before the reservations Andy. I'll arrive at our place at 8:00 to pick you up, so don't be late."

"Okay sir," she stated jokingly before he grabbed his bag and made his way out to his truck.

A/N: There you have it. So please review and let me know if you would like to read the follow-up chapter that would take place during the actual date. No reviews means that I leave it as a one-shot. :)
