The sun was shining bright and a light breeze filled the air. It was the perfect day.
Andy woke up with a smile on her face, exciting on what the day would bring her. Jumping out of bed she headed for a quick shower to start off her day.
"Morning."
"Morning McNally." He said entering the apartment.
"Back to formalities?"
"I always liked calling you McNally." He winked pulling her into his arms.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Hi." He smiled back kissing her.
"What did you want to do today?" she asked walking into the kitchen.
"I was planning on just hanging out here today." He said taking a seat on the couch.
"Really?"
"Yeah, why?"
"No reason. There's not much to do besides watch T.V."
"We can rent movies or something."
"You really want to stay in today?"
"Yeah. I'll cook dinner tonight we'll hangout on the balcony."
"I am loving this plan. What's for dinner?"
"What would you like?"
"What's your specialty?"
"You can pick between, barbeque chicken, steak, macaroni and cheese, or chili."
"So many to choose from." she said as she sat down next to Sam on the couch throwing her legs over his lap. "How about chicken and some mac and cheese?"
"You got it. If I'm doing dinner, you have breakfast and lunch."
"Oh that's easy, breakfast you can take your pick between various cereals or bagels, and for lunch we can go out somewhere then we can shop for dinner." She smiled.
"Deal." He smiled.
"What if someone sees us?" she asked stepping out of his truck.
"Then we play it cool. It's a nice Saturday and we're two friends enjoying each others company."
"I can't wait until training is over."
"Me either. Now come on we have dinner to buy and movies to rent." He says grabbing a cart.
Making their way down every aisle they grabbed what was needed for dinner, with the exception of a few bare essentials here and there.
"Alright I'm going to get the chicken, do you want to grab the pasta shells?"
"Sure." She answered walking over to the next aisle.
Walking over to the meat section Sam smiled at the thought of making dinner for Andy. Though they've been secretly dating for a few weeks now, they had always gone out to eat or ordered take out. This was the first meal he'd be making from scratch and he was going to make sure that it was would go off without a hitch. Grabbing what he thought was the perfect chicken he went off to find his Andy.
Looking down the pasta aisle Sam saw that Andy was not there. His first instinct was that she picked out the pasta quickly and most likely headed to the beer section. Making his way over there he could see that that's where she had indeed gone, but she was not alone, there was some guy talking to her. This man had started a conversation with Andy and Sam was going to find out what about. Pushing the cart over to where they were, he had 'accidentally' bumped into the man before him.
"Oh hey sorry about that, cart got a way from me." Sam grinned.
"It's cool man." The man answered.
Sam walked over to Andy. "Did you get the pasta babe?"
Andy couldn't help but giggle. "Yes I did." She said handing the box over to him. "I thought beer would be nice with dinner." She smiled.
"Sorry man I didn't know she was taken." He said shyly. "It was nice talking to you." He said walking away.
"Babe? You have never called me babe before." She laughed out loud.
"Yeah well…" he said looking at the different kinds of beers.
"Was my Sam-Sam jealous?" she asked grabbing his arm and leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Sam Swarek does not get jealous."
"Right and the cart just bumped into him by accident."
"It's very unstable."
Andy shook her head. "You are a funny one. So what beer are we going for?"
"Sierra Nevada, it'll go perfect."
"Sounds good."
"Alright, we're done. Would you like anything else?"
"Ice cream. We need ice cream."
"That was amazing." She said as she leaned back in her chair, stuffed.
"I'm glad you liked it." He smiled.
"I loved it. It was so good. I never thought you'd be a good cook."
"I hide my talents well." He laughed.
"I can't move, I feel like its Thanksgiving, I just want to go to sleep."
"You stay here. I'll put everything away really quick."
"No I'll put it away, it's the least I can do."
"Don't worry about it. I'll grab some more beers when I come back."
"Thank you." She smiled pulling him down for a kiss as he walked behind her.
Putting the leftovers in the fridge and letting the dishes soak in the sink he grabbed a few more beers. As he was about to head back out to the balcony he couldn't help but glance back at the jar that held his name in it. He had been there when Andy removed the jar, it was the same night they had talked about everything, as well as the night that they had shared their 2nd real kiss, the first one being the night of the black out. Smiling once again and beers in hand, it felt nice being off the ice.
Enjoying the warm night and the view of the city they two continued their night out on the balcony. Now sitting next to each other, Andy laid her head in Sam's lap, holding each other's hand.
"So when did you know that you wanted to date me?" she asked.
"More questions?" he groaned.
"Don't be a party pooper. Come on, you know you want to answer it."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes. I'll answer the same question too. Please?" she said pouting.
"Fine. Put that bottom lip away."
"Yay! So when was it?"
"When you tackled me to the ground."
"That's when you knew?" Andy laughed.
"Yeah. No women has ever tackled me before, especially not some as beautiful as you."
"That was sweet. Wow when I tackled you."
"Yup. Then from there, I liked everything about you."
"Aw!" she said puckering her lips which he gladly met.
"Your turn."
"Seeing you back in uniform I was done for."
"You like a man in a uniform huh." He grinned.
"I liked up in uniform, but when you were by yourself with Anton, walking down those stairs and seeing you alone, that moment I knew that there was something more. Seeing you there, I didn't want you to lose you. I didn't want to be alone."
"You're not alone now and you won't be for a while" he said squeezing her hand.
Feedback greatly appreciated!
I have a few ideas in mind for the other parts, but if you guys have any feel free to shoot them over, maybe I'll write about some of them!
