It was Christmas Eve and Andy was finishing her last shift before she had a few days off. It was busy and she had been rushed off her feet for the last 8 hours but thankfully Jamie had said she could leave early so she was just collecting the glasses and she'd be finished. She was leaning over a table reaching for a glass when she felt someone come behind her pressing into her, she stood very still and melted into the embrass. 'How did you know it was me?' Nick whispered in her ear. Andy just smiled 'I chose that aftershave!' Nick laughed as he stepped back and let Andy finish collecting glasses.
It seemed like the day had gone slower than usual but she was glad that her shift was over, but unfortunately this wasn't the end of her 'working night' Nick had to do a drop off for Vaugh and he had invited them to the party, Andy was going to protest when Nick had told her but she knew that they needed all the evidence they could get to bring this meth ring down. Although lately she hadn't really been concentrating with uc op more about her partner in more ways than one...Andy jumped back to reality and grabbed her bag and left the staff room and was greeted by a huge hug from Nick he place his arm round her shoulders and lead her outside to the car.
Nick pulled up outside Vaugh's house and turned to Andy 'you okay, you've been a bit distracted since work?' Andy had been fighting with her conscience since leaving work she wanted to tell nick what she felt about him but wasn't sure if she wanted to change what they had now? What should she do?
She smiled at Nick and took a deep breath, 'Nick we've always been open and honest with each other and I wanted to honour this so promise me you won't freak out?' Nick sat very still and nodded, he was really worried about Andy now, he kept quiet and waited for her to speak.
Andy could see the worry in Nicks face but she had made up her mind that she needed to get it out in the open, so here goes nothing...
'Can you remember a few weeks ago when I wasn't feeling very well and you ran that amazing bath and you looked after me?' This was more of a rhetorical question as Andy carried on 'well when we woke up that morning I didn't want to leave that bed... I've never let anyone look after me, I look after people and i liked it. So anyway since then I've been thinking a lot and I can't seem to get one thing off my mind and that's you, I think I'm falling in love with you Nick'
Nick sat watching her talk, his face seemed to relax half way through because he finally knew that they felt the same about each other, he waited till she stopped and he got out the car and walked round to her door, he opened it and grabbed her arm and pulled her out, they both stood looking at each other and Nick reached down his lips were almost touching hers and whispered 'I've already fallen for you' and kissed her his hands wrapped round her waist and pulled her to him pressing his whole body against her, Andy held his face in her hands and returned the kiss, it wasn't any old kiss it was the kiss they had been waiting for, to bring closure to the past and start a new future just the two of them there real feelings not made up actions to fool everyone.
