Chapter 2

Sharon had been wonderful by offering herself as his date to Nicole's wedding. Not just because she showed to be a great company, but because she seems to left his ex-wife with her nerves to her skin and it brought great joy to Andy.

Andy walked with Sharon arm in arm in the church and started to felt more and more pleased as he noticed the looks of surprise from his former friends. Sharon wearing a simple black dress that accentuated her curves and high heels drew attention, a lot of attention. Or maybe it was that smile that lit up her face in the company of her bright green eyes, but could still be due to the way her slightly wavy hair swayed gently with each step she take. It was somewhat mesmerizing.
"Everyone is looking at you." Andy said in her ear and the comment made her smile even more.

If the reaction of his former friends had been a surprise, his ex-wife's reaction had been of pure hatred. She was outraged by their presence at the ceremony and was even angrier when she found them at the party.

In the other side of the dance floor Sharon could see Nicole's smile. The young woman seemed pleased to see her father and she hugged him affectionately when Andy approached to introduce Sharon. The women talked for a while and Sharon noticed that Nicole watched her father as they danced.

"Nicole seems happy for have you here. She is looking at you and smiling."

The comment made Andy tide his grip around her waist and bring her against his chest. Sharon looked a bit surprised with a suspicious smile on her pink lips.

"She's not just smiling at me because I'm here." Andy sounded as someone who knows things.

Flirt with her was easy and Andy loved watch how her eyes glowed when she smiled. He let his hand go down to the lower back, tilting his face toward hers. He felt the scent exuding from her hair and neck, a fancy and delicate fragrance, almost intoxicating.

Their eyes met again, and maybe it was the music, the proximity or the champagne, but after a few inches their lips met gently to a soft and delicate kiss, torn into smiles and laughter to both as their lips parted.

Sharon took him by the hand and after grabbing a bottle champagne she pulled him away from the party, which by that time was becoming less hectic. They sat down at a point away from the lawn, where the band's music reached them more smoothly.

"Thanks for coming with me." Andy said opening the bottle and passed it to Sharon.

"It was nothing. I should thank you, I'm having a great time tonight." Sharon took a sip from the bottle and landed it to him. "Nicole was lovely, it was a very beautiful ceremony."

"I'm glad I haven't given up coming, I would have it regretted bitterly." Andy watched her directly, looking into her eyes. "Everything is running perfectly and it's because of you."

Sharon smiled sideways, slightly shy.

"Depends on your point of view. To your ex-wife us here must be a disaster in a way."

"I really hope so." They both laughed and Sharon hide her laugh with one hand, trying to stop it. "Well, frankly, she was the one who lost and married that guy got ridiculous. I on the other hand, am here with a beautiful woman who is all smiles."

"And you're not so bad either. I bet many women would like to have you for themselves." Andy's hand touched Sharon's on the grass and their fingers laced automatically.

"I don't care if many women want me." He said in a low voice, almost a whisper. "There's just one that really matters."

Sharon nodded, unable to tear her eyes from his.

"You look beautiful." Andy continued with a rogue smile and leaned slowly at her direction. "Do you mind if we do that again?"

Sharon just bit her lower lip as she pondered, without saying a word. She allowed Andy's approach and again their lips met. Chills went through Andy's body while Sharon felt slightly dizzy in his arms.

What was happening she knew, but also knew it would be dangerous.

They kissed for long seconds, deepening the kiss as they fell each other's arms. Andy's free hand touched the side of Sharon's face and neck, stroking it gently with his thumb.

When the kiss was over they parted just enough to face each other. Hold tight in his arms Sharon took the bottle and rise it to a toast.

"To your daughter's happiness!"

"To Nicole and to your beauty!"

A sad smile blossomed on Andy's lips when he made a pause and took a sip of water from a bottle abandoned on his desk.

"And only now, after months you finally noticed you're in love with her?" Was the first question that Provenza did when Andy stoped.

"No, that was just the beginning."

Provenza rolled his eyes impatiently. "So keep talking."
