A/N: I'm BAAACKK! I was going to take a break from writing but my fingers kept twitching every time they got near a computer. So here's my newest story. I hope you guys like it :D
Disclaimer: I shouldn't have to tell you but in case you didn't know I don't own Rookie Blue.
Chapter One:
Andy sat in the lounge with Traci watching the hockey game on the big screens around the room.
"I don't get why we couldn't just go to the penny." Traci mumbled as she took the last sip of beer.
"I'm just tired of going to the penny." Andy stated.
"Tired of going to the penny or tired of seeing Luke and Jo?"
"I do not care about seeing them, good for them; they finally figured it out and are getting married." Andy rambled.
"It's been six months McNally. When are you going to make your moves on Swarek?" Traci said glancing at her from the corner of her eye.
Andy felt the blush rising in her cheeks. "Trace, Sam has a girlfriend."
"So? They aren't serious, he never brings her out. She's more of a booty call then anything."
"Nice Traci." Andy sassed.
The crowd erupted in cheers and whistles as the team scored the winning goal. Andy smiled and threw her hands up in the air in celebrating as she held out both hands to high five Traci. Andy got up and grabbed their cups to go get refills.
"What can I get for ya?" the bartender asked Andy.
"Whatever's on draft, two of them please" Andy smiled before turning around and leaning on the counter. The bartender tapped her on the shoulder and held out the beers.
"How much?" she asked
"Don't worry about it. The guy over their asked to put it on his tab." The bartender said pointing to a guy at one of the tables who was staring right at her. He was wearing jeans and a button up shirt, he was well shaven and had the bangs of his hair spiked up. Andy couldn't deny that he was attractive. He smiled at her and held up his full beer and her before taking a sip. Andy did the same and mouthed 'thanks' as she headed back to the table.
"Who was that?" Traci asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No clue" Andy laughed "he bought our drinks though!"
"Well, two points for anonymous hottie!" Traci laughed as they clinked glasses and took a gulp rather than a sip.
"Anonymous hottie coming our way at 6 o'clock! I'm going to make myself scarce and hit the bathroom." Traci said as she hopped off the bar stool smiling at the man who had approached the table.
"Hey" he said taking Traci's seat.
"Hey, Thanks for the drinks" Andy smiled.
"Gave me an excuse to talk to the prettiest girl in the room." He smiled, teeth in show.
Andy felt her cheeks getting warm and brought the beer to her lips in attempt to hide her blushed cheeks.
"Liam" he said holding his hand out to her.
"Andy" she smiled taking his hand and shaking it, taking in note of how soft his hands were.
"Pleasure to meet you" he smiled again, looking past her quickly before looking in her eyes. "Listen, I'm here with some work guys and their heading out, unfortunately being my ride. But I'd love to give you my number and take you out." He smiled.
"Sure, I'd like that." Andy said handing him his phone. He took it from her and typed his name and number in.
"Give me a call tomorrow" he said as he got off the bar stool and handed her phone back and walked away.
Andy slipped into the passenger seat of the squad and handed Sam his coffee without a word. He didn't even hear her breathe. He watched as she shakingly brought the cup to her lips and took a sip.
Sam took a sip of his and placed it in the cup holder. He put the keys in the ignition and started it, he backed out of the parking space and pulled onto the streets. They drove in silence for a couple minutes before Sam pulled up to a red light.
"Little quiet today aren't we McNally? No good morning for your favorite partner?" Sam smirked looking her way, fingers drumming the steering wheel to a beat she didn't know.
"Stop" she said closing her eyes and resting her head on the head rest.
"And grouchy!" Sam laughed as the light turned green and he accelerated.
"I'm just tired." She sighed looking out the window. Andy reached in her pocket and pulled out two little red pills, she popped them in her mouth as she washed it down with coffee.
"Late night? I didn't see you at the penny." Sam said curiously.
"That's because I didn't go to the penny." Andy said simply.
"Where were you?"
"Can you not interrogate me for five seconds and just be quiet?" Andy said irritated.
"Anything for you McNally." Sam said returning his gaze to the road ahead of him.
After a couple minutes of driving Andy took a deep breath and another. Sam watched as she paled and licked her lips a couple times between breathes.
"If you hurl in this car McNally, I swear I will not be helping you clean it up" Sam joked looking over at her as she closed her eyes.
"Pull over" she said quietly, if Sam hadn't been watching her he wouldn't have heard her. "Now Sam!" she yelled. Sam quickly turned to the alley and before he had it in park Andy jumped out running behind the squad not wanting him to watch her empty her stomach. She didn't realize he had gotten out with her until she felt him rubbing her back encouraging her to 'let the demons out' he had laughed. Andy blushed as she stood back up from being hunched over. Sam handed her a napkin and wiped her hair out of her face as she wiped her mouth.
"Thanks" Andy said.
"What's a Thursday without a hung over partner?" Sam smiled as he rounded the squad and got in the drivers seat. He handed Andy a bottle of water to wash out her mouth.
"Have you eaten anything today?" Sam said checking his watch, he noticed Andy shake her head and he pulled in front of the dinner they usually went too.
"I don't know if I can eat, the thought of it makes me want to puke again."
"Well you can't puke because you just puked everything in your system up." Sam smiled as he held the door to the diner open for her.
"Sorry you had to see that" Andy blushed as she slid across from him in the booth. The waitress came up with coffee and asked if they were having the usuals.
"Not the first time I've witnessed someone throw up. I have a strong stomach." Sam grinned. Andy couldn't help the blush that creeped in her cheeks at the memory of what he hands running up and down his strong torso felt like. Strong was true.
"So where did you go last night?" Sam asked as he rested his hands under the table.
"I went to a lounge downtown with Traci to watch the game." She said stirring the cream and sugar in her coffee.
"What's wrong with the penny? We watched the game there too." Sam said furrowing his eyebrows.
"Just tired of the penny" Andy shrugged.
"Tired of the penny or tired of Callaghan and Jo?" Sam asked as the waitress set down a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of Andy and Toast and eggs in front of Sam.
"Why does every one keep thinking that?" Andy sighed as she poured syrup over her pancakes.
"Who's everyone?"
"Traci said the same thing to me last night. I honestly don't care." She said stuffing pancakes in her mouth and looking out the window.
"It's okay to care." Sam said reaching over and grabbing a piece of bacon, popping it in his mouth. They usually picked off each other's plates, neither of them really minded.
"Well I don't." Andy said swiping a piece of his toast, taking a bite before placing it back down on his plate.
"Okay, sorry I said something" Sam said as he stuffed some eggs in his mouth.
"How's Lilly?" Andy asked, she really didn't want to know about Sam's relationship, or whatever she was to him, but she was curious to find out if they were still seeing each other. It was something she asked every other day. She noticed Sam shift uncomfortably.
"She's fine." Sam said busying his mouth with his toast.
"Good to hear." Andy said quietly looking down at her plate. They ate in silence both stealing food off each other's plate.
"Thanks for this, I feel a lot better now" Andy said as she patted her stomach. Sam was grateful she wasn't one of those girls who was afraid to eat in front of men. He had taken Lilly to dinner once and she ordered a salad.
"Anytime" Sam smiled as he pulled out his debit card and flagged down the waitress.
"I got it Sam" Andy said pulling out her debit card.
"Nonsense McNally, I got it" Sam smiled as the waitress handed him the debit machine.
"Thanks" Andy smiled as she shrugged her jacket on. Sam grabbed his receipt and grabbed his jacket, placing his hand on the small of Andy's back guiding her out. They climbed into the squad car and started driving around the city. They sat in a comfortable silence both caught up in thoughts.
Truthfully, Sam didn't mind buying things for Andy, he loved doing it. Even if it was the over-priced coffee from Starbuck's she loves.
Andy sat in the seat and couldn't help but feel content. She liked spending time with Sam even if they were just sitting in silence.
Both their thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of Andy's phone. She pulled it out and didn't recognize the number.
"McNally." Andy said swiping the phone screen and placing it to her ear.
"I hope it's Andy McNally" a deep voice said.
"Yes this is who's this?" Andy asked, noticing Sam glance her way.
"Liam, we met last night at the lounge."
"Oh hey Liam how are you?" Andy asked noticing Sam's hands grip the steering wheel, she turned down the volume on her phone so Sam couldn't hear the other end of the conversation. She felt uncomfortable making a date with Sam sitting right beside her.
"I'm great, I was wondering if you were busy tomorrow so I could take you out on a real date."
"Um, no I'm not busy. What did you have in mind?" she asked turning to the window in attempt to a private conversation.
"I was thinking the new Greek place on Dundas? Say seven thirty?"
"Sounds great, I'll see you then." Andy said ending the call and adding the contact.
"So, hot date tomorrow?" Sam asked avoiding her gaze.
"I guess" Andy shifted uncomfortable in her seat.
"Who's the guy? Do I know him?" Sam asked curiously still avoiding her.
"No you don't know him and we'll see how the date goes before I give any details." Andy said putting her phone in her vest pocket. She noticed Sam's knuckles going white as she spoke, which only made the knot in her stomach bigger, she couldn't decide if it was guilt or excitement.
I'm really excited and nervous to see what you guys think. Leave me a review please and thank you :)
