Hi guys this is Chapter 2 of Wait For Me. I hope you're liking it so far and please feel free to send me any ideas for the story as well as reviews. Thanks for reading and of course enjoy!

The shift ended and Oliver pulled into the station. I was so anxious to get inside that I opened the car door before he had the chance to put the squad car into park. Today was such a long day and it was even longer with the anticipation of talking with Sam tonight. I ran into the building and booked it to the locker rooms. I walked in and asked if anyone had seen Officer Swarek. Everybody said that they had seen him but that they had seen him about an hour ago.

As I was walking away with disappointment, I felt a hand on my back. At first, I thought it was Sam but I turned around and it was Traci. Again, with the disappointment.

"Andy, he's at the Penny. He left about an hour ago but that's because we got back early and because we had a long day. Be easy on him."

She smirked at me as she walked away. I always knew I could count on her to watch my boys' back. Well my former boys' back. I didn't exactly know where that relationship was.

So I changed in the locker room and got myself looking kind of decent, trying to prepare myself for what was to come in a couple of minutes. I finally finished getting ready and walked out of Division 15.

As I walked to the Penny, I tried to figure out what I was going to say. I wondered whether he would even take me back or if he even still loved me. Oliver had told me that he didn't have a girlfriend or that he hadn't dated so I guess that's a good thing but I really don't know if that even matters.

I finally arrived at the Penny and I walked in and looked around. I couldn't see him anywhere because it was so crowded. That gave me the assumption that he had left already but as I was turning towards the other side of the bar I caught a glimpse of him at the other end of the bar, looking down at his beer. I started to walk over to him and then stopped because I still wasn't sure whether to do this or not. We definitely needed to talk and that had to happen sooner or later. So, I finally gave in and walked over to him with a slight smile on my face.

Luckily for me the stool next to his was empty. So I sat down and turned to look at him. He first didn't notice that I had sat down but then I started to talk.

"Hi."

He looked up with a mixture of sadness and happiness on his face. He was surprised that I was there but seemed kind of nervous. I knew I was nervous myself.

"Hey."

"So, you're a detective now."

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Why did you do that?"

"Well first off I wanted to do something to honor Jerry and second of all I wanted and needed something to distract me from you leaving."

"Sam, I know that it was hard for you believe me it was hard for me. I so wanted to come to the Penny that night and take you back but Callaghan told me that I was picked to do it and that we had to leave that night. I couldn't say goodbye to anyone. But I did leave you the note in your locker."

"I know, I waited for you. I waited for six months to see your face, six months to see you smile, six months to hear your voice. And now you're here. That's all that matters. But first we have to talk about this relationship."

"Sam, before we talk I want to tell you something."

"Ok. But please don't tell me you're back with Callaghan." He laughed but then got serious as he looked at me again.

"No, I'm not back with that jerk. Sam, when you told me you loved me in that kitchen my heart started to glue back together. I saw it in your eyes and you made me feel like a new person. Those words made me more comfortable with the bomb and it helped me relax and realize what was important in my life. I know it seems like I chose my job over you again but I didn't I told you that I wanted you to wait for me and I wanted to tell you now that I never stopped loving you even when you broke up with me. Nothing could ever stop me from loving you, Sam Swarek."

He stared at me with such happiness that I felt my heart come alive again. I knew that we needed so much more time to figure stuff out but tonight, at the bar I felt like we took a big step in the right direction. A direction that would leave us to have our happy ever after. At least I hope it will.
