Chapter 3
"Oh, Lieutenant Flynn, you're here at this time?" Sharon asked, confused watching him carefully. Andy stood frozen, and he didn't know how to explain the reason why he is here in front of her home at this late hour. She immediately saw the red roses, which he held in his hand firmly.
"Well, Captain, I just wanted to make sure that you're well. That's all." He barely spoke quietly, looking down. Sharon smiled slightly and took the roses from his hand, saying, "This is for me?" He nodded with a smile, causing Sharon to smile too. She immediately invited him inside and go to take a vase for the flowers.
A few minutes later, Sharon joined Andy and sat next to him, even a little closer. They looked at each other, smiling in silence for several minutes. Andy took a deep breath and said apologetically, "Captain, sorry to bother you at this time, really." Sharon turned her head and squeezed his shoulder.
"Don't worry lieutenant. I'm glad that at least you think of my health, thank you. Well, how was work?" she asked immediately. Andy grinned.
"It's hard without you, but we can handle, don't worry. Of course, if we exclude the small misunderstanding with Provenza, but he always was so." he said quietly. Sharon nodded slightly.
"You're right. By the way, do you want a cup of coffee or tea perhaps?" she asked with a smile. Andy sighed and shrugged, answering, "I don't think it is necessary Captain. Besides, you're sick and I don't want to worry you with such things. I came here just to check on your condition and I'm glad you're okay." Sharon grinned and grabbed his arm, dragging him to the kitchen.
She made her subordinate to sit in the chair, saying, "Stay here. I'll make coffee for us and during that time we'll talk." Andy nodded with a smile. Though she was his boss and he had to listen to her. He shook his head and sighed. He just couldn't understand why his behavior and his feelings for her have changed.
He looked around and smiled, looking at his captain. Even when she made coffee and had no makeup, she looked beautiful. He just couldn't take his eyes off her, but he still didn't understand how he felt about her. He always thought her as an enemy. And now, he couldn't tell if it's hate or worse - love. No, he couldn't be in love with her, with his enemy, with his boss. She was a married woman, no, he just couldn't succumb to his feelings.
After a few minutes, Sharon handed him a cup of coffee with a smile, sitting next to him. He smiled softly, sipping his coffee. Sharon looked at him carefully. She sighed and bit her lip, asking, "Lieutenant, you never talked about your family, about your wife and your children." Andy took a deep breath and shrugged. He left his glass on the table.
"Actually, Captain, I don't think there is anything I can say. I parted with my wife 10 years ago and my daughter Nicole finished university about a month ago. I am really proud of my daughter and I can admit that she's the only precious thing in my life, though ..."
"Though what?" Sharon demanded to know, watching him carefully. Andy took a deep breath and continued, looking at her bright green eyes, "Even though my daughter is the most precious thing in my life, I haven't been to her in difficult moments. Unfortunately I didn't have this opportunity and I'm sorry about that. "
Sharon looked at him sadly and squeezed his hand, saying quietly, "Calm down, Lieutenant. I know you've had problems for a long time, especially with the alcohol, but I believe that your daughter is forgiven everything and she loves you." Andy nodded with a smile.
"You're right, Captain. My daughter and I get along pretty well and I believe that we've ironed out our relationship." He spoke softly and looked at the clock, saying, "Uh ... I think I have to go. You'll be tomorrow at work?" Sharon nodded with a slight smile.
"Of course. I'll see you tomorrow." Andy walked to the door with a smile and turned to Sharon once again. She looked at him with an unusual smile, she looked completely different than before. In her eyes there was no anger or hatred nor coldness. Her gaze was warm and full of love. He approached her and kissed her cheek gently.
"Thank you, Captain." he said quietly and left. Sharon closed the door tightly and put her hand on her cheek. Andy Flynn had kissed her. But why? "What happens to this man?" Sharon murmured softly, thoughtfully. She went into the kitchen to clean up the mess, then she went into her bedroom and slept.
On the other hand, Andy drove to his home thoughtfully and with a slight smile on his face. He also didn't understand what was happening to him. "Why did I kiss her? Even on the cheek, she could understand wrong." he muttered quietly, confused. Andy came home and threw the keys wearily. He looked around as if something was missing. He felt strange. As if he needed to see Captain Raydor. Suddenly his phone rang and he turned his head, unhappy, seeing that this is Provenza.
"Hello?" he said indifferently.
"Flynn, everything okay?" Provenza asked sternly.
"Yes why do you ask?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to be sure. Captain Raydor will be at work tomorrow, right?" Andy gritted his teeth with anger and replied, "Yes, she will be. I'll see you tomorrow, I feel tired." they closed the phone. Andy sat on the couch and closed his eyes for a moment. And somehow, he was dozing here.
The next day, the whole team was happy that Captain Raydor is at work. But especially Andy Flynn was quite happy. He was glad to see Sharon strong and healthy as ever. The end of the working day was approaching. Andy sat at his desk and suddenly saw Sharon, who had come out from the interview room. He approached her with a smile. She smiled in response.
"Oh, Captain, you leave now?" he asked quietly, looking around. Provenza watched them closely from afar.
"Yes, Lieutenant. I think I'll rest a little because we have no emergency. I feel tired and decided to go home." she said with a smile. Andy nodded slightly.
"It's great, if you want I can take you home." he suggested kindly. Sharon shook her head and replied, "No problem, I can handle, my car is in the parking lot. Good night." Andy smiled slightly disappointed, watching her going to the elevators. He immediately grabbed his jacket and his bag to be able to get into the elevator with her.
But unfortunately, she had gone. A few minutes later, he arrived in the parking lot and wondered why Captain Raydor is still here. He approached her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"What's the problem, Captain?" he asked anxiously. Sharon sighed and shrugged, answering, "My car broke down and I don't know how to handle it." Andy smiled.
"Calm down. Tonight I'll drive you home and fix your car as quickly as possible." he said encouragingly. Sharon nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Lieutenant." They got into his car and walked toward her home. Both felt strange. They looked at one another for a few minutes. Neither Andy nor Sharon didn't know what feelings they have to each other.
It was quite strange, they were enemies for years. A few minutes later they arrived in front of the building. Sharon turned to Andy and said softly with a smile, "Thanks for your help, Lieutenant, really." Andy smiled and walked over to her, even without observing any distance.
"Not at all, Captain. I'll always be here for you if you need me." he said quietly, and their bodies have converged more, their eyes made contact and their lips touched. Without thinking about the consequences Andy kissed Sharon, tenderly and passionately, leaving her in surprise.
