Andy had woke up early than usual and like a little kid she was in front of the television playing duck hunt 5 o'clock in the morning, still in awe of Sam doing something so sweet for her really touched her. Her phone then ringed and she thought who could be calling her at this hour and when she saw the name on her phone a huge smile spreads across her face.
"Good morning" she said into her phone
"You sound to perky for it being 5 o'clock in the morning" he laughed "are you playing duck hunt?"
She just starts laughing almost dropping the phone.
"I take that as a yes" as he sat up in bed "it feels good to hear you laugh again Andy"
"I know and I owe it all to you and a little game called duck hunt" she said with a smile
Sam did not have to see her face to know she was smiling that incredible smile he could not get enough of.
"Well I'll let you finish your game just wanted to be the first to say good morning" he told her
'Sam" Andy called his name before he hung up
"Yes" he answered
"Thank you again and I will see you for coffee" she told him before they hung up.
I think Andy had set a new record on getting ready for work she was out her door in record time heading to the barn but when she got to the parking lot she saw Sam standing by his truck holding two cups of coffee.
"How did you beat me here?" she asked him
Magic" he said with a smile
"Ha-ha real funny Swarek, is that my coffee?" she asked
"Yes it is just the way you like it" as he handed her the cup "so how long had you been up playing your game when I called?"
"Not long I had just sat down in front of the television when you call" as she took a sip of her coffee
He nodded as he drinked his coffee thinking of small talk. He never quite knew why she had this affect on him. All he knew is this woman has stolen his heart since the first day he met her when she tackled him in the alley.
"Could not get into it?" she told him
"Why is that?" Sam looked at her
"You" she looked at him
Sam was totally caught off guard when the words came out her mouth. He did not know what to expect or what to say to that so he decided to let her continue before he said anything.
"I didn't have you so I could cream you in the game" she said, so not the words that she wanted to say but those were the one that came out.
They sat there in silence just sipping their coffee enjoying the silence. Neither one of them not knowing what to say and hoping not to say the wrong if they didn't have to. Things had been going great and Sam did not want to mess that up. She was enjoying life again talking, laughing and having fun who was him to mess that up for her but he spoke to soon.
"Andy" Luke said
Andy was caught off guard when she turned around to see to Luke standing there.
"What do you want?" she said very harshly
"I just want to talk to you" he said as he looked at Sam "alone"
"I don't have anything to say" she told him
"Andy please just five minutes" he begged her
"Luke look what we had is over I don't want to look back I'm moving forward so there is no use of talking okay because nothing is going to change my mind" she looked at him
"Sam sorry but I will see you inside" as she walked in the station
Luke looked to Sam "you get a kick out of that don't you?" he accused Sam
Sam just started laughing "yeah Callaghan it's everybody's fault except yours"
"I never said that" he screamed at Sam
"I think you better lower your voice before I lower it for you" Sam stepped closer
"Oh so you can look like Andy's knight protecting her?" he said with a laugh "I'm not giving up on her"
"Luke I don't care she is done with you" he yelled at him "so keep being the jackass ex who won't give up she will hate you more"
"So I am guessing you will be there to pick up the pieces?" he looked at Sam
"Someone has to erase the horrible memory of you? So yeah I will be there to pick up the pieces" he said with a smile as he headed into the station.
Sam makes it inside of the station and Andy is there waiting on him. He gets a smile when he sees her and she heads into the locker room.
"Those dimples are going to be the death of me" Andy whispered hoping no one heard her
"What dimples or do I even need to ask?" Tracy said as she as she shut her locker
"Nothing" Andy told her
"By the look on your face it's not nothing talk to me?" Tracy told her best friend
"No its good trace trust me" as she took a deep breath "Sam bought me duck hunt the game"
"What" she screamed "the one that you wanted since you were a little girl?"
"Tracy" she tried making her be quiet "yes"
"Wow Andy that was so sweet of Sam to do" as she got ready for parade
Tracy it was EPIC!" she told her "I should be freaking out but I am not"
"Why do you think?" Tracy was curious now
"its Sam" was all she said
"Does that mean you are falling for him?" Tracy said with a smile
"Tracy I just got out of a relationship which didn't end good I am not thinking about another one" as she tried to finish getting ready
"But it is Sam?" she turned to face Andy "the one you put on ice"
"I know and things are good I'm trying to keep it that way not bring my excess baggage in a relationship that could be" she stop talking trying to find the right word
"EPIC" Tracy finished her sentence
"Exactly and Sam deserves better than that" as she tried to explain to Tracy "look at what he is doing for me he is sweet and caring and I don't want to ruin such a good man"
"Andy when are you going to realize you deserve to be happy and Sam Swarek can give you that and more if you just let yourself open up too it" she pleaded with her friend
"Sam is still on ice" she told Tracy as she headed to parade
They were assigned their partners and sent out on patrol after Frank gave his serve and protect speech. Everyone's shift went by very quickly which was great by them because they could unwind and enjoy a drink at the penny with friends. Sam waited for Andy to come out of the women's locker room.
"So are you ready for day three?" he asked as he grabbed her bag from her
"Yes let's go" she said with a smile
They made it to the truck and Sam decided to let Andy drive. He loved the facial expression she gave him when he handed her the keys. Andy stood there for a moment not knowing if it was a trick or not?
"Any day now McNally" he said with a smile
She then hurried and got in the truck she turned and looked at Sam just surprised at his move but she could not handle it.
"Okay what's the catch?" before she started the truck
"What do you mean?" he asked
"You never let anyone drive your truck" she looked at him
"Andy you are in the driver seat whatever you want to do or go is solely up to you I follow your lead" he told her
She sat and thought for a minute "Oh I get it the truck is my life and I'm the only one who can drive" she looks at him with a smile "Nice"
He looks at her "so where to?"
Andy then backs the truck out and drives. They drove for about an hour until they had stop for gas when Andy got out the truck she notice a pool hall across the street. Then an idea popped in her head. After Sam finish pumping the gas and he got back into the truck he saw her smiling so big and he knew she was up to something.
"What's the smile for?" he was curious
"Are you up for role-playing?" she said with a big smile
"I like to see where this going" he said
Andy pulled into the pool hall parking lot and cut of the truck off she turned and looked at Sam
"So let's get our story together before we go in" she was all giddy like a kid playing dress-up "I'll be Giselle and you can be Christian"
"Are Giselle and Christian a couple or just friends?" Sam asked
"We can just wing it depends on the crowd" she said
Then they got out the truck and headed inside. It looked, sound, and smell like a pool hall as all eyes set in on Sam and Andy when they walked through the door. No one knew who they were they could pretend and make up anything they like because they knew in the morning they would not see any of these faces again. She could escape her problems and worries and just relax because she was no longer Andy McNally she was Giselle.
"So are you up for some pool Christian?" she screamed a little over the music that was up loud
"After you Giselle" he motioned with his hands towards a free pool table
Sam then orders a pitcher of beer for them and they started their game a pool. Which seem like a good idea at the time kinded dawned on Andy she was not that good at pool? Sam saw that she was struggling he offered her some assistance.
"Alright Giselle pay attention because I'm only going to do this once" he winked at her. Sam then placed himself behind her pulled her close to where her back was on his front and it was a perfect fit he thought to himself. He then slowly bent Andy over just enough for her to put an arch in her back. He also positioned himself the same way. He then entwined his hands with hers one on the end other pool stick and the other positioned on the edge of the table so the stick could easily slide between them.
He whispered in her ear "make sure you don't rush take your time you want this to be right"
"Okay" she barely got out with Sam being so damn close it sent chill up her body she was surely forgetting that he was teaching her pool.
He placed his hand on her hip "make sure you are in the right position"
"Oh you mean like this?" as she moved back a little bit more into him
Sam had to catch his breath "Yes"
She could feel his warm breath on her neck and ear and it felt so damn good. She had to refocus on what was at hand here. She did not know how long she could stay like this so close to Sam without something happening? Good thing they were in a crowded place or otherwise Sam would have been thrown on this pool table and naughty things would happen. She was brought out of her deep thought.
"now make sure they are spread apart just right so the pole could slip in and out very hard or soft to hit the right spot-"
Sam was cut off by Andy because she had caught the end of his instructions?
"Sam" she asked
"Yes McNally" he said very softly to where his lip brushed her ear that she had closed her eyes
"Are we still talking about pool?" she managed to say
"Yes" he whispered again "is there something else you rather I teach you?"
Andy was render speechless and a whole lot of other things. She tried not to take her mind there but she could not she loved the way her body fitted with his. She may have said Sam Swarek was on ice but if the ice was in here right now they sure as hell will melt it.
"McNally" he whispered in her ear when she did not answer him.
"Damn it" she thought to herself if he keeps that up she won't last, "no pool is fine maybe I can think of something else later?" as she bumped her ass into him with a soft giggle
If he thought she could get anymore sexier she just proved him wrong. The thoughts that were running around in his head would make sinner blush. Andy then took the shot and made it. She turned her body around and gave him the tightest squeeze and when he pulled back she kissed him. Not some little school girl kiss but full mouth with her tongue running across his bottom lip for him to invite her in and he did.
"I don't mean to interrupt but you have yourselves an audience" the man told them
Sam and Andy broke apart to find everyone staring they were embarrass and they looked at each other still breathing hard from their kiss when the bar erupted with cheers, applauds, and whistling.
"Nice shot McNally "Sam told her over the cheering
"Thanks" as she downed her glass of beer by what had occurred between them
They tried to play a game but they were too distracted by the kiss thinking about it over and over again. So they decided to call it a night and headed for home. The drive was very quiet neither one of them talked to afraid to say the wrong thing. As Sam pulled in front of Andy's place he cut the engine to the truck. He got out and walked Andy to her door.
She turned around to face him "I'm sorry" she said
"For what?" he wanted to know
"For over stepping my bound" she placed a hand on his arm "all you were trying to do was help me out and I sexually took advantage of you" she said with a small giggle
"Do you see me complaining McNally?" as he stepped closer to her. He basically took her breath away. His closeness, the smell of his cologne and those damn dimples were intoxicating.
"Do you want to forget about the kiss McNally?" he asked
"No, yes, I don't know?" as she put her head down
As he placed both hands on each side of her face pulling it up so she was looking him in the eyes "McNally we are friends before anything I'll take you anyway I can have you if it meant that you are a part of my life" he told her
As much as it pained him to say it but he did even though he didn't mean it "the kiss is forgotten like it never happen"
She placed a hand on his cheek "thank you Sam" she just stared at him "it's that I just got out a"
She was cut off by Sam "I get it no need to explain Andy" as he gave her a hug "I will see you tomorrow in the parking lot for morning coffee"
"I will be there" she said with a smile
Sam then walked to his truck and Andy waved to him as he drove off. Andy then went inside to her kitchen looked in the freezer and took the jar out with Sam's name in it and placed it on the counter and then she went to bed.
