Someone We Deserve

Hey! I just realized that even if my story revolves around Shandy, Sharon isn't in the story as much, thus this chapter happened. I originally was suppose to write Hobbs' chapter at like the end, but then I realized Sharon would much rather talk to Andrea about dating rather than Rusty.

Summary: Sharon Raydor deserves someone who'll treat her right...and everyone seems to notice it.

Disclaimer: sadly, I own nothing.

THIS IS SET A MONTH AFTER THE LAST CHAPER

Chapter 4 - Hobbs

"So I heard something that I found very interesting yesterday." I announced the moment I opened the door to her office.

"Andrea" she said as she lifted her head from the mountain of paper work on her desk. "What? What are you doing here? Is there a problem?" A soft smile appearing on her lips.

I roll my eyes. "You tell me." I closed the blinds.

"I'm sorry. I don't think I'm following."

She would not appreciate me blind sighting her, so I'd rather keep this moment to us.

She and I are friends after all.

I've known Captain Sharon Raydor way before she got assigned to Major Crimes.

My daughter, Cassidy, used to dance in the same dance schoolEmily used to dance in. Cassidy and Emily have about a ten year age gap, so I can safely say that Emily and Ricky are Cassidy's "big sister and big brother." They have always been Cassidy's go-to people. She calls them when she gets into trouble. It actually feels like our two families have merged into one.

Oh I don't even know how many times they have been over to drop Cassie off. I am so worried my daughter does not get the concept of rules. She always gets into all kinds of trouble. I was actually terrified when Cassie turned fifteen. Allowing your teenage daughter to go to her first high school party would be easier when you know her "go-to people" are one bus ride away.

I remember one time, she slept over at Sharon's house just because Cassie was afraid I'd yell at her for skipping ballet. I would've if she came home, but I won't tell her that. What kind of eight year old skips ballet for a movie with her friends anyway?

I have always been thankful for Emily and Ricky. I remember crying in both their high school graduations. They are great kids. Sharon raised them well.

I want to laugh at that idea. Now I believe what Flynn's daughter, Nicole, means by "the Sharon effect." I honestly did not understand it when Rusty told me about Nicole's "idea;" now I do.

Sharon does have a unique way of changing people.

Our children have always been friends, therefore we got to spend a lot of time together, but this was ten years ago. Emily doesn't live in this side of the country. Ricky is all grown up, and obviously Cassie isn't 8 anymore. A lot has changed. Although we are all still good friends. Emily and Ricky make it an obligation to spend a day with my daughter when they are in town. Sharon, my husband and I still have brunches. Sharon and I still go shopping together despite our busy schedules; Gavin tries to make it. Even with all the changes that happened, we still try to make some things constant.

"Gavin called me yesterday."

She defensively raises her eyebrow.

"Last month really? You couldn't tell me? I have worked with your division four times since then. Why couldn't you just tell me? If it wasn't for Gavin, I wouldn't have known."

"What on earth are you talking about?" She looked so confused.

"Oh okay." I shrugged. "I'll just ask Lieutenant Flynn. I mean at least he'd give me a proper answer as to what he was doing at your apartment at 9 am while you were in the shower." I tried to contain my laughter when her face quickly turned a hundred different shades of pink. "I know Sharon."

"Oh that"

"Yeah that." I roll my eyes.

Sharon is incredibly intelligent. The woman is almost always right.

Almost

"Let's talk about this when we aren't in the office." I glare at her. She's using her ever too famous ice queen, wicked witch captain tone with me.

"Fine. It was a long shot anyway. You are way too professional. Besides you aren't the type to gush about your new boyfriend when he's less than fifty feet away." I quickly gave in.

Sharon rarely talks about her personal life, even to her children. Only Gavin and her sister, Alice, can get it out of her. Now that I think about it, she never gushed about Jack to me nor my husband.

I know and accept that Jack Raydor is a brilliant lawyer; I've bumped heads with him a handful of times, yet Sharon was never proud to call Jack her husband, at least since I've come to know her well.

I know better than to forcibly make her talk about it. That will get me nowhere.

Her head now focused on the mountain of paperwork on her desk.

"So?" I dragged.

"Yes?" Her head still facing the paperwork.

"It's a slow day." I tried to make small talk.

"Yes it is." She replied.

I grinned. She's like a sister to me. Now I get why Emily and Cassie are the way they are.

Sharon and I are exactly like them.

I glanced at my watch to check the time.

Ten minutes past noon.

"Wanna go out to lunch?" I asked casually.

She looked at me curiously.

"It's a slow day. You said it yourself. Missing an hour of paperwork won't kill anyone."

She is overanalyzing this. I don't blame her. I do have a motive, but of course I won't tell her that.

"Come on. I am hungry and it is time to eat lunch"

"Andrea"

"Sharon." I replied. "Fine. If you won't agree to lunch with me right now for whatever reason you have"

She opened her mouth to say something, but I held my hand out to let her know that I'm not finished.

"then we can have dinner tonight. My house? I'll cook, but you could bring dessert."

"I can't go." She said softly. "I have plans tonight."

I raised my eyebrow.

"With a certain Lieutenant?" I grinned.

Cheap shot, but it was worth it.

She looked down to her skirt then started fidgeting.

OH

MY

GOD

SHE DOES HAVE PLANS WITH FLYNN TONIGHT.

I need to call Gavin and probably Emily.

They need to know just how much Sharon is falling for her very handsome yet hot tempered "best friend."

"So lunch?" I stood up and grabbed my bag. "We can take your car."

The look on her face was priceless. She looks so confused. I have never seen her like this, but then again this isn't the Sharon Raydor I met all those years ago.

"We can talk about it at lunch. Since by then we'd be outside your office." I opened her office door.

She glares at me, and I shrugged. She placed the pen back in her drawer then stood up. She grabbed her back then pushed back her chair. Damn it why is she so organized.

I know that I said I wouldn't force her to tell me anything, but this has gotten too far. I want to know.

They're having dinner almost every week now. Andy has spent a night at Sharon's apartment according to Gavin. Rusty says he's seen Sharon cook for Andy. Emily is FaceTiming and calling Andy now, and worse, Ricky and is turning into the overprotective son.

It's time for me to step in. I'm her friend too. I deserve to know.

I just don't want to see her get hurt. She has been through so much.

We walked out of her office. As we passed by the murder room, everyone was staring at us curiously.

"I will just have lunch with Andrea. I'll be back in an hour." She gracefully announces. I just smile and nod to acknowledge the presence of her team.

With everything that I know, I carefully glance at one particular desk.

Andrew Flynn's

Unsurprisingly, he was staring at her with his typical love sick puppy eyes.

I roll my eyes. Lieutenant Provenza seems to notice my small gesture, so he quickly looks at the direction I was looking.

"idiots" I heard him mutter.

I looked back at Sharon. She deserves someone who doesn't mind to be called an idiot for her.

Lieutenant Andrew Flynn and Captain Sharon Raydor dating.

It's odd and very unexpected, but they fit. They make sense.

Sharon looked back at me. She smiled and I smiled.

"you ready?" I asked innocently.

"Yeah. I'm good."

As we were walking out, she quickly glanced back at Andy.

"Sharon?" I called to get her attention. "We can have lunch another time." I smiled gently.

"But-"

"Go to the restaurant then text Flynn. That way no one will know." I winked. "We both know you'd much rather go with him. Plus you deserve a guy like him."

Once again, Sharon turned a hundred different shades of pink, but this time I didn't want to laugh. I smiled, but I didn't laugh. I'm happy for her.

A/N: How do you think Sharon and Andy's date go? Read till the end to find out.

This story will possibly have like 12 chapters, and you won't know how the sleepover, the dinner and other "intimate moments" (I haven't mentioned half of them yet) will go till the very end. I feel like such a troll. PLEASE REVIEW :)
