I have this head canon that Sharon and Andrea are besties, so I took that one little look she tossed Sharon's way after Andy said, "Sharon" and ran with it!
Please remember these are all one-shots and that the earlier ones were mostly A/U. I'm trying to stay with canon in these later epi's but it is kind of hard!
Enjoy!

Sharon is walking towards the breakroom to grab some tea, while she waits for the final reports regarding the case. It has been one hell of a day. Who would have thought that a beautiful woman, like Gretchen Tucker, would stoop to the level of murder? She is beautiful and rich, why would she feel the need to be so desperate for love. When she didn't get what she felt she deserved, she became deranged and all of those men who thought sex was fun and games for her, paid the ultimate price. She is the true definition of a black widow.
Sharon felt a slender hand, grab her arm and before she could protest it, Andrea was dragging her towards the elevator and murmuring, "With me! With me!"
Sharon is shocked, confused and amused at Andrea's sudden need to be in her presence. "What?" Sharon asks as they step in the elevator.
"Just wait." Andrea says. Now, Sharon's brain is overworking, trying to figure out what is going through Andrea's mind and why is it so important that she must show her. As the elevator opens to PAB lobby, Andrea motions for Sharon to walk ahead of her and she follows in behind. Andrea heads to the door and like a best friend should, she is hot on her trail. "What is it, Andrea?" Sharon inquires once more. "Just wait until we arrive at our destination."
Sharon blinks her eyes rapidly, and hesitantly agrees, "Um, ok." Andrea continues walking down the boulevard and she stops at the coffee shop. She opens the door for Sharon. Sharon goes to the first table, she sees empty. Andrea calls the barista over, and places their order. "I will have the caramel macchiato, and she will have ginger and apple tea." The barista leaves and Sharon asks once more, "What is this about, Andrea?"
Andrea smiles and shakes her head and replies, "So, you are just going to act all innocent and what not?"
"Innocent? Innocent about what?" Sharon asks as he tone drops an octave. She has an idea of what Andrea is alluding to, but the game is much more fun to play, when one is being coy.
"Sharon, cut the crap!" Andrea exclaims as she quirks her eyebrow.
"What crap?" Sharon retorts smirking at Andrea.
"Do you really want me to say it?" Andrea teases as the barista returns with their beverages. Sharon adds honey to her tea, and slowly stirs it as Andrea takes a sip of her caramel macchiato.
"Sharon? Really?" Andrea quips.
"Andrea? What?" Sharon teases watching Andrea squirm in her seat.
"Ugh, fine! When did you and Andy return to calling each other "Sharon" and "Andy" at work?" She finally asks.
"How did you know we stopped?" Sharon asks in reply to her question.
"Hey! Don't do that! Don't cross reference me!" Andrea exclaims. They both burst into laughter.
"I'm not the lawyer, you are!" Sharon says as her breathing regulates.
"Exactly! Which means I get to ask the questions!" Andrea quips, deserting her beverage, she is now fully invested in this conversation.
"This isn't the courtroom, Andrea! That would be it across the street!" Sharon muses as she points out the window.
Andrea's eyebrows furrow, as she is becoming tired of this little act Sharon is playing, "Sharon!"
"Andrea!" Sharon quips as she winks at her and takes a sip of her tea.
They have reached a standoff of some sort. Usually, these kind end in one of them finally breaking down and telling the other what they want to know. But this feels different and Andrea knows it. She thinks she already knows the answer she is in search of. Sharon has this glow about her. She is always smiling. From experience, Andrea knows what that glow is. She hasn't seen Sharon with this particular glow in years. If what Gavin, claims is true, she is going to have a fun time, teasing her about it at any given moment.
"Sharon Marilyn O'Dwyer Raydor!" Andrea exclaims as she clasps her fingers together on the table.
"Andrea Denise Morris Hobbs!" Sharon quips.
"Oh, damn it! Stop, toying with me!" Andrea finally gives up.
"Well, just ask what you want to know!" Sharon muses before she takes another sip of her tea.
"Ugh! Fine!" Andrea rasps. Sharon giggles upon hearing the word, "fine."
"What' so funny?" Andrea inquires.
"Oh, nothing, just your word choice." Sharon says.
"Um, ok." Andrea says looking at Sharon confused as ever.
"So? Are you going to ask? Or are you just waiting for me to magically be capable of reading your perverted mind?" Sharon teases as she reaches for her phone, as she feels it vibrate in her pocket. Sharon smiles at the name that appears on her screen and slides the phone open to read the message. She releases a small giggle, and swiftly types her reply and sits the phone face down on the table.
"So, is it still old fashioned or not?" Andrea finally inquires. Sharon stares at her and smirks, before taking another sip of her tea. "Damn it, Sharon! Answer my question!" Andrea demands.
Sharon laughs and then inquires, "By old fashioned, what do you mean exactly?"
"You know what the hell I mean!" Andrea quips as annoyance is clearly evident in her voice.
"Actually I don't! You could mean many things like, have we French kissed, has his hands been in places that he and I have only dreamt about, has more than hands been in places that we have dreamt about or have we had sex." She muses as she watches Andrea's face change with the casualness of Sharon's tone.
"Umm, well any of them, hell!" Andrea quips.
Sharon blushes as she replays their last encounter in her mind, "Hmm, I would say we are at 2nd base!'
Andrea's eyes grow wider instantly, and she exclaims, "Oh my God!"
"What? You asked!" Sharon muses before she takes the final sip of her tea.
"Oh, I'm glad I did! I just assumed you two would be further along in the process by now!" Andrea quips.
Sharon laughs, and calls the barista over to their table, "Can I have a large coffee with mocha and mint, please? To go."
"Um, when did you start putting mint in your coffee?" Andrea inquires as she puts cash on the table to cover their drinks.
"This isn't for me." Sharon simply states. Andrea quirks her eyebrow and laughs as the barista walks up to the table as they stand up.
As they walk towards the door, Andrea whispers, "I take it he will be making a home run tonight!"
Sharon turns to her and smirks, she replies, "a grand slam, baby!"
They walk back to the office laughing.
Andy meets them in the lobby. "Here you go, Andy," Sharon says as she passes off his coffee. "Thank you, Sharon." He says. Andrea looks between the two of them and says, "You two can stop it! I'm not blind! Go ahead!"
Andy mouths, "what?" Sharon just laughs and pulls him into a side hug and whispers something in his ear. Andy releases a rumbling laugh.
"I will see you two later! Thank you Lieutenant, for all of your help with Gustavo, I really appreciate it!" Andrea says as she turns to walk towards the door.
"It was my pleasure, Hobbs." Andy says as he releases Sharon from the hug.
"Oh yeah, sorry for the delay in the delivery of your coffee! I was missing some critical information!" Andrea quips before walking out of the door.
Sharon laughs and shakes her head. "What critical information, might she be talking about?" Andy inquires flashing his crooked grin at Sharon.
"Huh?" She teases.
