Hello guys, it's Major Crimes Monday so here I am with chapter 3, I hope you'll enjoy and review it! Thanks for all your lovely reviews, never stop letting me know what you think, I truly appreciate it!

A surge of bile rose in her throat and she only had time to make some steps before the door opened and she found herself throwing up.

"Who's at the door?" Andy asked from the other room

"I don't know Andy, a woman… hey, are you okay?"

The girl asked concerned but Sharon kept vomiting her dinner and what was left of her dignity, she wanted to die or disappear, or just to stop embarrassing herself in front of her boyfriend's lover. The blonde didn't know who she was, apparently Andy didn't even bother to mention he had a girlfriend, he just fucked her every time he wasn't spending time at the condo. Sharon hated him, men, everyone at the moment, she wanted to go away, to go back to her safe home where she could bury herself under the bed covers and forget every single moment of that night. She refused the girl's help and started to move back to her car when Andy rushed to her side…

"Sharon oh my God, are you okay?"

"Don't touch me, you bastard!"

"Bastard?" Andy asked dumbfounded but he couldn't voice his thoughts because Sharon started vomiting again

"Hey, I got you"

She tried to push him away but he held her keeping her hair away from her face: could she feel more mortified? Her cheating boyfriend was watching her vomit in front of her lover. It had to be a bad joke, a perverse one, because it couldn't be happening to her, not at all!

"Come on, let's get you inside, you need a glass of water"

"Let me go, I wanna go home"

"What's happening to you? What's wrong?"

"Are you even asking me?" she glanced at her blonde "Apparently you've very busy tonight, I'll leave you two alone"

She started walking to her car but he stopped her

"Sharon's not what you think"

"It never is! I heard this line so many times I lost the count"

"I'm not Jack, this is unfair!"

"Oh really? You left me! You're here with another woman cheating on me, let me think… you're exactly like him!"

"I wasn't cheating on you, if you let me explain"

"I don't wanna hear a single word from you! Throwing up on your yard and embarrassing myself in front of your lover is enough for one night"

"She is not my lover! She's just a friend"

"Oh yes a friend" she entered the car and wore the seatbelt "And by the way nice choice! You never stopped loving blondes"

She started the engine and left getting lost. All the treacherous tears she managed to hold back when she was seated outside Andy's house like an idiot overcame her and she finally let them fall… she had been so stupid to think she could talk to him and fix things, men always found an easy way out and it pained her to admit Andy wasn't any different, even if he spent years trying to prove her the contrary. It didn't matter anymore because they were over and she didn't tell even him, she was so eager to flee, to disappear and she didn't tell even him to fuck off!

Why? Why did she have to fall in love with him? Why did she open her heart and trust a man again? She could hear Jack's laugh in the back of head, laughing at her because of her naivety, she could hear his voice telling her that no man could bear to be by her side, no man was able to share a bed with such a cold and boring prude for long time.

When she arrived to the condo, she found Andy's car parked in front of the garage's entrance: he was leaned against the trunk with his arms folded, an angry look on his face. How he managed to arrive before she did was out of her logic but he was there and was blocking her way. She wiped her tears away before he could see them and lowered the car's window

"Could you please move your car?" she asked coldly

"Not until you let me explain"

"I'm tired and I don't have any will to talk to you"

"I don't fucking care!" he retorted

"Get out of my way, Lieutenant"

"You think that using my rank will bring you somewhere? You're wrong"

Sharon snorted annoyed

"We can stay here all night Sharon or you can let me talk"

"Not here in the middle of the street or in the condo. I don't want Rusty to hear us"

"Park your car then and we can go somewhere"

"I'm not going anywhere with you. I'll follow you with my car"

"Are you scared I could do something to you?" he asked disgusted and angry

"No, I just don't want us to share the same air"

That answer hurt, she knew, she read it on his face.

"Follow me" he entered his car and started driving

The drive was brief. He headed to Griffith Observatory, parked his car and waited for her to join him to their usual bench. It was a beautiful night and Los Angeles' lights were beaming from afar: it was sight for sore eyes. The few people left wandering around the Observatory were leaving and they were almost alone. Sharon didn't sit next to him on their bench, she stood in front of him with her arms folded waiting…

"Start talking"

"I see you're very open to this conversation"

"Sarcasm won't bring you anywhere. I'm here only because you were doing a scene in front of my building"

"A scene? What the fuck happened to you, Sharon?"

"To me? You left last night and now I caught you with another woman"

"You didn't catch me with another woman! You're talking as if you saw me in a compromising position which it isn't true, she's just a friend"

"A friend, again!" she laughed bitterly

"Yes, Sharon, a friend from AA, I'm her sponsor!"

"You think I'm stupid? Are you using AA as a cover?"

"How can you think I'd lie about something so serious? And how can you think I'm cheating on you? You're my world! I asked you to move in with me, why should I fuck someone else?"

"For revenge maybe? Or because you're mad or impulsive or whatever?"

"Is this what you think of me?" the change in his voice made her feel so little and suddenly guilty "Do you think I'd go screwing around at our first fight?"

"It wasn't just a fight, you left me!" she cried

"I didn't leave you! I asked you time and space!" he yelled

"Why didn't you tell me you were sponsoring someone?"

"You know I can't tell you anything"

"I don't wanna know anything! I wanted to know that! You spend all your free time with me, you never mentioned her"

"It's private Sharon, it's anonymous for a reason" he said bothered

"I don't believe you" she shook her head "Young, blonde, sexy and she chose to be sponsored by you, such a coincidence, huh?"

"Why are you doing this? Are you trying to find a reason to break up?"

"I'm not doing anything! I don't want to be fooled and cuckolded again"

"And we're back to Jack. AGAIN! After all these years you've known me, after all this time we're dating can't you still see the difference? I'm a good man, I've many flaws but I'm not a cheater and I had never been! If you're looking for someone to blame in our relationship, look in the mirror then! I'm done now"

He got up from the bench and started heading to his car

"You won't walk away from me again!" she yelled, her voice breaking

"Why should I stay here trying to explain myself to someone who doesn't want to listen? You're so blind by your fears and your insecurities that you don't see anything else! You don't see love, care, patience, tenderness and I can't force you to see Sharon! I can't and I won't force you to trust me when I've done anything I could to gain your trust, I can't force you to believe me when you should without doubts because I've never given you a reason to doubt of me in the past!"

"We're not done! We can't be done!" her hands were shaking now and her eyes full of tears

"If you can't trust me or believe me, we are. This is not about making an important decision like moving in together anymore, these are the basis of a relationship. It's your choice now"

"This is an ultimatum"

"You asked for it"

"This is unfair"

"You crucified me for something I haven't done so yes, this is completely fair. You've to decide what you want Sharon"

"I still want you"

"But you don't believe or trust me"

"What would you have thought in my shoes? She's young, blonde, sexy and beautiful and I…"

"Still your insecurities talking and it doesn't matter that I only have eyes for you, it doesn't matter how many times I tell you you're the most beautiful woman to me"

"I'm jealous and possessive even if it doesn't seem. Can you blame?"

He smiled for the first time "No, I can't because I am with you too"

"I don't know how to stop being scared and reluctant"

"You've to find a way, because apparently what I do isn't enough and I don't know how to help you anymore"

"It's not true it's not enough. I've abandon issues Andy and you did the only thing I asked you not to do, I begged you but you left anyway and…" she bit her lip trying to compose herself "I… it was a trigger, it brought back excruciating memories and feelings. I know I'm not easy and it's hard to deal with me, I know and I'm sorry but I can't bear to go through what happened with Jack again. Seeing you walk away…"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he grabbed her hands in his "I was mad, I needed space and I really did but Sharon you accused of sleeping with another woman and repeatedly said you don't believe me when I tell you I didn't"

"I want to believe you…"

"But what? When you knocked, did you catch us naked? You didn't! We were simply talking"

"She answered your door as if she was at home, cozy and comfortable!"

"I asked her to open the door because I had the kettle in my hands, I was pouring us a cup of tea"

Sharon sighed lowering her head

"Why is it so hard for you to believe me?"

"Because I wouldn't make it if you let me down"

Sharon turned around and started walking away, she didn't want him to see her so weak, so helpless, so needy but Andy went after her, he just couldn't let her go, not after what she said to him.
