The Midas Touch – Part 4
Sam approached Andy; he had to be careful as they didn't want the rest of the task force to know what was going on between them
"McNally?"
"I'm fine just going to the locker room I forgot something there" she understood Sam's caution and smiled weakly turned on her heel and left. Everyone watched as she left he wanted to run after her but he knew that he couldn't so he turned and mumbled something about needing to see Frank. Sam knocked on Frank's door.
"Come in, Sam what can I do for you?"
"It's about McNally, look sending her in tonight might not be a great idea"
"Do you think she's not ready for this?"
"No she is ready, more than ready. It's just that if you send her in tonight she is going to be alone and over think the situation. Send her in early tomorrow and she can then keep busy during the day getting herself settled before going to work"
"Ok I'll get Jeff to pick her up at 6am from her apartment" Frank looked up at Sam "you have a problem with that Sam? You know you can't pick her up right?"
"I know I can't pick her up, I just think that she would feel better if Noelle picked her up"
"Ok Sam, you can tell McNally"
"Thanks Frank, there was one other thing. I think undercover Andy and I should be ex's that way we can move forward quicker and she can say that she originally finished with me because of what I got up to"
"Good idea, we'll broach the subject in the afternoon "
"Great I'll go and let McNally know"
Sam nearly ran to the women's locker room, he opened the door and could hear Andy sniffing. He pulled Andy into his arms
"Hey sweetheart, I've talked to Frank you don't have to go till tomorrow. Noelle will collect you tomorrow morning at 6am"
Andy smiled at him and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"So why is Noelle picking me up?"
"So nobody will see my truck at yours when they pick you up in the morning"
"Hummm so are you coming to see me very early in the morning or were you planning to stay the night?"
"I thought I might spend the night on your sofa"
"Really I can think of somewhere you would be a lot more comfortable"
"Can you now?" Andy smiled as Sam continued "I know it's not what you were expecting but how about we grab a take away and a bottle of wine on the way home and have a night in"
"I think that's a perfect idea" Andy kissed him again
"Come on we better get back before Frank sends someone to look for us, and we get caught doing this" Sam then kissed her enticing a moan from her he pulled back too soon for both of their likeing he grabbed her hand a pulled her out of the locker room. She followed him laughing. Sam came to an abrupt stop and Andy bumped into his back. She looked over his shoulder to see Luke standing there. He turned on his heal and stalked off in the other direction without saying a word
"Oh" was all Andy could manage.
"Don't over think it"
With that they headed back to join the rest of the team. Andy was surprise at Frank's change of plan and having them as ex's but she couldn't keep the smile off her face when she found out when she realises that means that they can move the operation along faster and that meant they could move in together faster. As they wrapped up the last of the details that Andy needed Jerry walked up to her
"Hey McNally"
"Hey Jerry"
"You're going to do great ok. Sammy and I will always have your back"
Andy just leant into and hugged Jerry, they parted and Andy walked over to where Sam was and placed her hand on his shoulder. Sam smiled up and nodded to her. Andy walked to the locker room grabbed her bag and headed out to Sam's truck.
Sam felt Andy approach him when she placed her hand on his shoulder he knew what she meant. He finished the conversation that he had been having and headed out towards his truck. He was looking forward to spending the evening and the night with Andy.
When Sam got to his truck Andy was already leaning against it, Sam walked up to her and pulled her to him.
"Hey you" Sam leant down and placed a quick kiss on her soft lips, loving the fact the he could.
"Hey" Andy whispered. Sam opened the door for her and Andy climbed into the truck
"So what takeaway do you want?"
"Let's go to home then order in" Andy suggested, Sam liked the way Andy said home. They chatted as they drove and stopped off at the off licence to by a bottle of wine.
When they got in Andy and Sam both kicked their shoes off. Sam reached for the wine glasses as Andy rummaged in the draw for the takeaway menus. After finding the menu for the local Chinese takeaway. Andy lit the candles, they sat on the sofa and tucked into the Chinese, talking and laughing Sam telling Andy the pranks that he got up to with Sarah, after they finished they cleared away. Sam poured the last of the wine in there glasses and they sat on the sofa. Sam pulled Andy down and they lay spooned on the sofa as Andy pressed play on the remote. Sam burst out laughing
"Really?"
"Yes really. You were expecting a lovey dovey film weren't you" Andy was smiling her kilowatt smile
"Well we were meant to be having a romantic evening"
"I love this film"
"Really what's romantic about Fast and Furious?"
"Vin Diesel, car chases, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker oh and did I mention Vin Diesel?"
"McNally do you have a secret Vin Diesel crush?"
"Oh there is no secret about it. Ask Traci"
"So you like a rule breaker"
"I've always gone for the bad boys"
"So that's what I am?"
"No you just have the image"
Sam just pulled Andy closer and buried his nose into her neck. They carried and watched the film. As the film finished Andy turned over
"Hey"
"Hey"
"I have to be up early"
"I know we should get some sleep"
"Come on" Andy stands up and holds her hand. Sam takes it and allows himself to be pulled off the sofa. He reached out and grabbed Andy around the waist he bent down and kissed her
"You planning to take me to bed old man" Sam growled which made Andy giggle. Sam's face turned serious
"Andy tonight I just want to hold you. I don't want to rush things" Sam received a peck on the nose
"Thank you"
Andy pulled him towards the bedroom.
"You use the bathroom first; there is a spare toothbrush in the cupboard"
Sam entered the bathroom and looked around he started lifting lids on jars and pots smelling what made Andy smell so divine all the time. He found her perfume sprayed and sniffed the air.
"Sam what the hell are you doing in there?" Sam dropped the bottle that he had been holding which knocked about 10 other jars and bottles over making a loud clatter
"Sam!" Sam came out of the bathroom looking rather guilty
"I knocked some things over. Why the hell do you need all that?" Andy didn't say anything she just smiled and kissed Sam as she walked by and closed the door. Sam took off his jeans and debated about his t shirt in the end he decided to leave it on and got into bed placing himself in the middle so he could scoot over to whichever side Andy wanted him to sleep. As she came out of the bathroom Sam swallowed hard. The large t shirt that she wore did nothing to hide the beautiful body that was beneath it. Then Sam paid closer attention to the t shirt
"Hey is that my t shirt?"
"Yea I forgot to return it" Sam smiled at her and patted the bed
"What side do you want "
"The right side please" Sam went to move over to the left
"Hey you don't move "Sam stayed where he was, Andy got in on his right side and moved over to the middle to join him
"Thank you Sam"
"What for?"
"For being you" Andy kissed Sam and then rolled onto her side Sam moved in behind Andy wrapping his arm around her tummy and pulling her close.
"Thank you Andy"
"What for"
"For giving me a chance to show you what loving someone is about"
Andy turned around in Sam's arms and kissed him, her hands ran around his back and she gently ran her nails along the sculpted muscles on his back pushing his t shirt up. Sam stopped her hands
"I said we weren't going to do this tonight"
"I know but I wanted you t shirt off so I can feel as much of you as possible" Sam sat up and took the t shirt off.
"Happy?"
Andy nibbled on her bottom lip she was more than happy with the view. Sam lay back down in bed and Andy snuggled into him and fell asleep for the best night's sleep she had gotten in many years. Sam stayed awake as long as he could watching her as she slept. He knew she was the most important person in his life now and he was going to have to let her go and not be able to contact her. He knew that would be hard for them both. He wasn't sure how he was going to cope.
The next morning Andy woke before the alarm. She was nervous about today, moving into her undercover apartment and starting the job with Dave. She had to be there at 9pm for staff training and her shift started at 10pm. Andy gently untangled herself from Sam's arms. She showered and packed her t shirt from last night and Sam's t shirt that he had been wearing in her bag. She put the coffee pot on timer to start at 7.30 and left Sam the spare key next to it.
Andy was watching out of the window, she saw Noelle pull up and waved. She walked into the bedroom and sat down on the side of the bed and gently kissed Sam, Sam stirred
"Hey sweetheart, you're all dressed"
"I know, Noelle is here, I have to go"
"I can't believe I slept through the alarm. I was going to make you breakfast"
"I switched the alarm off. Don't need to be up for another 90 minutes. The coffee pot is on timer and the spare key is next to it"
"I'll get up"
"No stay in bed. I like the idea of you sleeping in my bed"
"Ok sweetheart pass me my jeans. I need something out of the pocket" Andy passed him his jeans; he reached in the pocket and pulled out a spare key.
"If anything goes wrong or you want out you head to mine ok" Andy didn't say anything
"Andy promise me ok?"
"I promise" she leant forward and kissed him with everything she had. As she pulled back Sam pressed a small box in her hand. Andy looked at it and opened it. Inside was a small gold and diamond key
"The key to my heart Andy, you've had it since the first day when you took me down"
Andy burst into tears and flung herself in to Sam's arm
"Shush sweetheart, everything is going to be ok, you better head out before Noelle has to come in here and get you. You're a great cop Andy and you'll be great at this. It's only a short time before I'll be with you. I promise"
"Thank for the necklace Sam" Andy grabbed her bag and headed out of the door.
