Did he really just call me Sharon, at work? Did he do it in front of the two most astute people in the squad? Oh my God! Not even one whole week has went by, and he has already let it slip. I told him that I need for our dating to not make it to the work place, until it was time. I'm not sure that there will ever be a time. But it definitely wasn't today during an open murder case. Damnit, Andy! Now Tao and Buzz are going to watch our every move. We already have Provenza for that! What is so hard about calling me Captain, at work? He has been doing for the past year with no problem, but as soon as we become official it just slips out! If I didn't know any better I would think he did it on purpose! Wait, did he? Nah, he wouldn't be that aloof? Would he? Ugh! Why did you have to call me Sharon, instead of Captain? Why did you do it in front Tao of all people! Everyone knows he never misses a beat! Or and let's not talk about Buzz, that guy is the biggest funnyman of them all! He is so slick with his side comments, that you almost miss them, if you aren't used to them. The way he looked at me tonight, after we wrapped the case is a perfect example:
"Sha…Captain!" He whispered as I walked by, catching me off guard, but I refused to let him know that.
"Yes, Buzz?" I inquired giving a slight Darth stare.
"Oh, I just wanted to know if you still wanted me to email you the footage?" He said smiling wildly at me.
"Yes, I do. Thank you so much, Francis." I rasped as I walked away, I'm sure I heard him gasp at me using his first name. That will teach him.
Andy has inadvertently let the cat of the bag and now here comes the interesting moments at work. I'm sure one of those two will mention it to someone else and we will talk of all the water coolers conversations in Major Crimes. At least I can trust my team not to talk to anyone about it, but I would sure like to have actually told them, instead Andy's slippage doing it. Ugh, I just wanted this little piece of control and I've lost it!
I look out the window and see Julio is emotional. I wonder what's wrong. I am tempted to go out there, but I don't want to encroach upon this moment of bonding between him and the team. Then I see Andy do the one thing I asked him to do at work, be encouraging. I see him take Julio's stuff to his old desk. It just warms my heart. I knew he could do it. I am so proud of him for giving Julio the time and understanding that it is taking him to become reintegrated into the squad. I knew they could work this out and I'm so elated that Andy did what I asked him to do.
Still here I sit, thinking about the fact that he practically outed us earlier. Maybe I am just overthinking it! No, I'm not! Damn, how can that man be so infuriating but irresistible at the same time? What have I gotten myself into?
An all too familiar knock at my door, interrupts my inner freak out session.
"Yes, Andy?" I inquire, as he opens the door.
"Do you have a minute?" He inquires before stepping in the door. I nod my head yes.
As he shuts the door, he asks, "Blinds open or closed?" Searching my eyes for answer.
I quickly survey the Murder Room and I see Tao and Buzz looking intently at us, "Open."
"Ok. Sharon, I just wanted to apologize about earlier." He explains as he sits down in front of my desk.
"Andy, how did that happen, though?" I ask sincerely confused by his slip up.
"Honestly, Sharon, I don't know. I guess I wasn't thinking." He says gazing into my eyes. I can see that his intent was not ill, but I still feel weird about it, maybe it's just my inner freak out still trying to dominate me.
"It's ok. All is forgiven." I say reaching over my desk to run my thumb over the back of his hand as I offer him a gentle smile.
"But, don't let it happen again." I inform him as he winks at me and says, "Aye, Aye Captain." As he strolls to the door. I try to hide my chuckle, but to no avail am I successful. As he heads out the door, he salutes me, with that irresistible grin of his.
That man is simply irresistible, what am I going to do with him?
