Thank you for the lovely reviews, followers, and favorites to this story.
Andy woke up early to clean and then start making breakfast for them. His phone went off and it was Dr. Moore checking up on Sharon. After Andy finished talking with Dr. Moore he turned the coffee machine on then started cleaning.
Sharon moved her hand and felt Andy's side of the bed cold. Sitting up slowly she rubbed her eyes and stretch groaning as she forgot about her sore ribs. Reaching over she grabbed her pain meds and her water bottle. She was struggling trying to get the childproof cap off but was having no luck.
Andy was watching her with a grin on his face by the doorway as she struggled trying to open the bottle. He laughed as she groaned loudly trying to pry it open. Sharon glared at Andy as he walked in laughing at her.
"Here let me help you Sharon." Reaching his hand out.
Sharon still glaring at him and threw the bottle hitting him in the forehead.
"Ouch, what the hell Sharon?!" As he rubbed his forehead staring at her in disbelief that she actual threw something at him and she actual hit him.
Sharon moved her hands over her mouth trying to hide her laughter as he glared at her still rubbing his forehead.
"This is not funny Sharon, that hurt like hell." Bending over picked up her pain medication and then threw it on the bed. "Now I'm not going to help you, you brat." As he slowly turned around heading out of his bedroom.
"Andy please wait, I'm sorry please I need your help, besides you shouldn't have laughed at me while I was struggling to get it open." Holding up her pill bottle while pouting her lips at him.
Andy rolled his eyes and walked back taking the bottle from her hand and opened the bottle placing two pills into the palm of her hand. "There you go Princess."
Sharon glared at him taking her pills and drinking water, after she placed the cap back on and onto the bedside table. She then grabbed one of his pillows throwing it at him.
"Hey, watch it!" Yelled Andy as he ducked from getting hit with one of his pillows. "Jeez you are grumpy lady today." As picked up his pillow and placed it back on his bed.
"I wouldn't be grumpy if you didn't laugh at me and then call me a Princess, oh I'm no Princess." She crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him.
Andy chuckled then sat next to her on the bed and placed his hand on her thigh. "I couldn't help it, you looked adorable trying to get that bottle open with one hand." He moved his hand to her face and ran his thumb along her cheek. "Yes, you are no Princess, you're a Queen." As he leaned forward and kissed her lips.
Sharon uncrossed her hands moving her good hand on his neck holding him still as theirs lips touched again. Both smiling as they pulled away to get much needed oxygen in their lungs. He moved her hair to the side playing with her ends.
"Are you hungry for one pancake?" He said with a grin.
Sharon playfully punched his chest. "I am hungry just not for pancakes."
He grabbed her hand and sandwich it between his. "What would like then Sharon?"
She stared into his brown eyes mesmerized by the gold and green specks mixed within the brown, swallowing then looked down at their hands and then back into his eyes again. "I could go for vegetable omelette?"
He smiled then kissed her lips, letting go of her hand. "Than a vegetable omelette it is." Standing up and walking out of his bedroom to the kitchen make them breakfast.
Sharon sat up in bed with fingers on her lips smiling then suddenly sadness took over. She was realizing that once she's fully healed that maybe things would go back to the way it was. Her eyes begin to mist over and before she knew it tears were running down her cheeks. She laid back into his bed covering herself in his sheets that smelled just like him. His scent invading her nose, mouth, throat, and lungs only to make her cry more. She is never is like this, so raw with emotions damn those pain killers.
Andy walked back into his bedroom shaking his head as he saw Sharon had wrapped herself in a cocoon in his bed sheets. His smiled faded as he walked closer to his bed and was hearing her muffled cries. He slowly climb into bed and calmly approach her talking softy.
"Sharon what's wrong?"
She held her breath then exhaled trembling, between sobs she spoke softly. "Go away Andy."
He swallowed hard then stayed where he was and softy spoke again. "I'm not going anywhere until you till me what's wrong Sharon. Talk to me, please don't shut me out."
She waited a few seconds then asked quietly. "What are we Andy?"
Andy paused for a minute thinking of the right words to say and hoping not to mess this up, whatever they had going on. "I'm your friend helping you out, and." He cleared his throat. "And hopefully something more. When you know, when you...you get better." He said nervously.
Sharon removed the sheets around her head, her hair messed up as her one good eye red and swollen from crying, her cheeks wet from tears. "You...you mean like boyfriend and girlfriend?" She asked hesitantly.
He laid down next to her taking her hand in his and brought it to his lips kissing her hand then running his lips over her knuckle smiling. "I prefer companion but yes. So would you like that Sharon to go on a date with me?"
She stared at her hand that was running across his lips while his eyes bored into mine waiting for and answer. She swallowed hard, her mouth shut down unable to speak so she shook her head yes and smiled warmly at Andy.
Andy's grin grew bigger as she shook her head yes. He pulled her to him and kissed the top of her head as she rested it on top of his chest. One of his hands went into her hair being mindful of the gash as the other gliding up and down her back as their legs criss crossed one another's.
"Why were you crying Sharon?" He whispered into her hair.
"I'm afraid that after I heal we wouldn't be like this anymore." She said softly into his chest.
He exhaled loudly releasing his hand full of her hair. "Sharon look at me." He asked her softly.
Sharon lifted her head up staring into his eyes seeing the sadness in them that she felt.
He cleared his throat. "Sharon I haven't felt this way about a woman in a long time. I really like you."
"I'm...I'm not young Andy and I'm not looking for a fuck buddy."
He placed his hand gently on her bruised side. "Sharon I'm not looking for that type of relationship with you. I've been honestly crushing on you since you've taken over Major Crimes." He grinned over at her.
Sharon gasped at his confession of crushing on her since she took over Major Crimes and the fact he wanted to date a woman around his own age, specially that woman being her. She blushed as she smiled at him, her heart pounding in her chest that she was sure he could feel it.
"Really?"
Andy laughed shaking them both soon she was laughing too. He gently rolled them over so his body was hovering over hers. His eyes shined with such love for her as he smiled down at her moving her hair out of her face and running the back of his hand along her cheek.
"Yes really, you and those power skirts. Don't get me started on those gorgeous legs of yours that yes I stare at every chance I get." As he groaned just thinking about them.
She laughed her face lighting up. "So you're a leg man I see."
"Well yes, but I prefer breast but that's inappropriate at the work place my Captain, she would make me take a sensitive training class or go to a sexual harassment seminar."
"Yes, I'm sure she would chosen both." Smiling at Andy as he rolled his eyes.
He groan placing his face on her chest. Sharon laughed making her upper body move up and down, Andy smiled as he laid his head down being mindful of her ribs on her right side. Sharon wrapped her arms around him as they laid their enjoy each other's company.
Andy lifted his head as her stomach grumbled for substance. "Come on let's get eat then go for a walk?"
"I'm sorry that breakfast is cold now."
"That's okay by the time you are done in the bathroom it will be out of the oven and ready for you. Come on Queen Grumpy Pants." Smirking at her as she glared at him.
She rolled her eyes as Andy helped her sit up. She watched him exit the bedroom to reheat breakfast. Going into the bathroom to brush her teeth and use the toilet. She came out and put on her grey leggings and let his faded Dodger shirt on.
After they are breakfast they sat on the cuddling under his brown fierce blanket when his phone went off. Sharon moved her head off his upper body so he could grab his phone.
Andy laid back down and pulled Sharon back onto his chest. Reading the text message from Louie. "How's the Captain doing?"
"She's doing good, a little grumpy though."
"I bet she's doing real good."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Andy coughed as he saw the picture of him and Sharon cuddling on his couch. Sharon looked up startled as Andy couched dropping his phone. Sharon picked it up and gasped at what she saw dropping his phone and placed her hands over her mouth standing up and walked into his bedroom shutting his door seating on his bed.
Andy picked up his phone off the floor and text Louie back.
"What the hell Louie?!"
"Don't what the hell me! What the hell are you thinking she's wounded and she's your boss?! Not some dumb bimbo!"
"It's not like that Louie, I I really care about Sharon. Why did you take a picture?"
"Stop calling her that!"
"What that's her name and I care about her Louie."
"You know your an idiot right?"
"Whatever Louie, I'm an idiot that loves his boss."
"All I know is you better treat her right. I was shocked to see my best friend with our Captain cuddling on your couch. You two idiots looked cute so I took a picture."
"I will Louie, now I need to explain this picture you sent."
"Wait she saw it? How?!"
"Yes, I coughed and dropped my phone and she picked it up. Then she gasped and went into my bedroom."
"Oh crap, I'm sorry Andy."
"It's okay, I'll talk to you later."
"Good luck."
"Thanks I might need it."
Andy tapped on the door to see Sharon sitting on the edge of his bed just staring at the wall. He cautiously sat beside her and put his hand on hers. She looked over at him and gave him a sad smile.
"I'm sorry about that picture, I didn't even know Louie came over yesterday."
She squeezed his hand. "It's alright you have nothing to apologize about. If anything I should be the one saying I'm sorry for overreacting." Looking down at their joined hands.
He placed his fingers under her chin pulling her face up. "No, you have a lot at stake here. With you being my boss and having to report our change in status. I understand Sharon, it's alright I get it." As he ran his thumb across her button lip and over her cut.
His thumb gliding across her button lip was sending heat throughout her body as her heart rate paced faster making her brain fuzzy as she blurted out in a whisper. "Kiss me Andy."
Andy stopped his thumb on her lip and looked into emerald green eyes that sparkled back at him. "Uh are...are you sure Sharon? What...what about the cut on your lip?"
Sharon only hummed as she grabbed a fist full of his shirt and pulled him towards her. Andy's eyes widen as she forced him forward as their lips met she ran her tongue along his lips as he moved his other hand into her hair both moaning as their tongues mingled for the first time. The sparks from their kiss ignited heat throughout their bodies a sensation both longed forgotten. Andy pulled Sharon onto his lap as she straddled his hips she wrapped her good hand behind his head playing with the grey hairs on his neck.
The need for oxygen was the only reason their lips unlocked as their foreheads touch. Sharon had her eyes closed and a smile on her lips as she hummed and ran her nose along his. Their arms still around one another's as their nose touched again Andy smiled as he pecked her lips and cupped her face.
"Come on beautiful let's get dressed and go for a walk, yeah?"
Sharon nodded her head with a smile and got off Andy's lap then made her way to his dresser to take out another pair of her leggings along with a purple sweater and a black lace bra. Andy sat on his bed watching her as she take off her leggings with ease and gawked as at her ass in blue lace. Andy ran his fingers over this ear as he watched her pull up her leggings then lift up his shirt she wore putting on her black lace bra.
God she was beautiful and was thankful for this opportunity to see this side of her and to be the man she trusts to take care of her. Sharon turned around and grinned at Andy as she saw him tubing his ear as he daydreamed about her. He didn't realize Sharon was standing between his legs fully dressed and staring into chocolate brown eyes.
"Oh Andy? Earth to Andy? Hello My Handsome Silver Fox, hello?"
Andy blinked his eyes then blushed being caught daydreaming in front of the woman of his dreams lately.
"Sorry Sharon, are you ready?" As he cleared his throat.
She moved her hand into his hair smiling down at him and hummed.
"Yes, let's get going." As she kissed the top of his head then backed up slowly.
Andy stood up and went into his closet and grabbed two baseball hats placing one on her head and the other on his. Sharon thanked him then looked in the mirror fixed it to cover some of her face then turned around placing her hand in his as they walked through his house to the front door.
As they walked hand in hand as they walked around the boardwalk. Andy stopped by one of the food vendors and bought them blue cotton candy. Sharon's eyes sparkled as she saw Andy walking back to her with the blue cotton candy. As they continued walking along the boardwalk Sharon pulled him along to walk along the sand and took a seat watching the ocean waves wash upon the shore as the sun slowly set.
Andy wrapped his arms around her placing his chin on her shoulder watching her smile as she looked out in the horizon admiring her beauty once again. Sharon took a chunk of cotton candy and brought it to his lips as he opened his mouth and smiled as she placed the sugary treat into his mouth and she hummed when his warm lips closed and sucked her fingers. Andy reached over and took a piece off and was about to put it in her mouth when he pulled away at the last second and put it in his mouth.
Sharon gasped as she watched Andy placed it in his mouth. She moved her body and straddled his hips. Grinning down at him she placed the last piece of cotton candy in her mouth then brought her lips onto his. Andy placed his hands on her face as their tongues danced around the blue sugary treat. Their lips tingled as they pulled away, Andy placing small kisses on her face making Sharon snort laugh. Andy kissed her lips one last time then drove them back to his place.
