It wasn't an unexpected request but she accepted it. It was stupid really because she had under two hours to work out how she was going to dress, was she going ot hint that she saw as more than a friend or was she going to stay extremely conservative and keep up the 'I am your boss' façade.
She tried on a few dresses, one light pink, another navy, but she settled on a red dress which had a velvet bodice and tulle skirt. She nodded satisfied then place on some black heels.
"You look nice Sharon." Rusty commented as she walked through to the living room.
"Thank you, rusty." She went to sat down but only got halfway before there was a kknock on the door. Smiling Sharon answered it to find Andy standing smartly in his tuxedo. She said a quick goodbye to her foster son then left with Andy.
"I'm a little early but I don't want any reason for Amanda to nit-pick. I want all attention on Nicole and Dean not myself or us or even Amanda." He explained his punctuality.
They arrived 30 minutes early so Andy was able to make introductions.
"Dad" Charlie nodded
"Charlie, this is my friend Sharon" he introduced Sharon to his youngest child. He looked her up and down.
"You must be special. I mean I'm actually getting a full introduction with name a 'friend' tag." He smiled while dropping his insult.
"Oh yes, what am I women 65 or 605. I work with your father, trust me when I say I know his past" she replied shaking his hand, Charlie looked at her and laughed.
"You aren't like the others" he commented then went to find his mother. Andy looked at his shoes then at Sharon.
"Sorry, but well handled." He smiled
"No problem for me, I've been in FID basically my whole career. My tongue is just as quick as my memory" she commented then went bright red at the other implications of her comment. He smirked then led her to her seat, where he'd join her later.
This was good, Andy thought as he headed to find Nicole. He could survive this with Sharon by his side.
