She was warm, and she smelled something. What was it? Was she sleeping too? What was going on? Sharon shook herself out of her stupor and opened her eye, just one. It took a few seconds, and she opened the other one to reveal she was apparently lying in her bed, on her side, facing the windows. It appeared to be mid-day with all the sunlight coming in her window. What was going on? She lay there, still not moving, but awake. Her eyes were now blinking, so she knew she was awake. There was that smell again. What was it? As she tried to put the pieces together, she realized she had been reading and must have dozed off. She also realized that her arm, the arm she was lying on had fallen asleep, so she rolled back over onto her back.

"Ahh, Sleeping Beauty awakens," she heard and immediately she froze.

Andy chuckled, and Sharon turned to find him sitting on her bed, head against the headboard, legs stretched out, feet crossed, and he was reading the paper.

"Andy? What's going on?" she asked.

Andy chuckled, "Sharon, in all the years I have known you, I don't think you've ever slept that hard."

Sharon was now starting to come to her senses and rolled over onto her other side, now facing Andy. He'd put the paper down in his lap and was smiling at her.

"I guess I fell asleep?" she asked as more of a question than a statement of fact.

Andy chuckled again and scooted himself down on the bed so that he was now on his side facing Sharon, "You did. Apparently, you were reading a book this morning and fell asleep."

Sharon thought a moment and nodded, "Ahh, yes. I got up, had some tea and a small breakfast. I even spoke to Rusty for a bit, and then I remember coming back here, showering and dressing for the day. I was so worn out, I decided to read for awhile, and I guess I fell asleep. How did you end up here?" she indicated the space next to her.

Andy shrugged, "Sharon, don't you remember calling me? You called me and asked me to come over, very seductively I might add. I get here, and you are asleep."

Sharon looked at him, appalled, "I did? No, that's not right," she nodded.

Andy chuckled again, "Oh, you did. Sharon, what's the term they use now? Hmm," he started to think.

"STOP!" Sharon yelled, "Don't' go there or say it."

Andy grinned, "You called me; you wanted me," he winked.

"I can't believe you would think I would call you and invite you here for that. Andy, that isn't like me," she said confused.

Andy grinned as he leaned over and pecked her on the lips, "You're right. It doesn't sound like you at all. Great fantasy though, but no, you didn't call me."

Sharon had a look of horror and smacked at Andy, "Oh, you are awful! I can't believe you tried to get me to admit to doing something like that? What? Were you hoping I'd just let you entice me or something?"

Andy laughed now, as he grabbed hold of Sharon's side, "I'm sorry! It was too easy to not poke fun at you. Sharon, you were sleeping hard. I can't believe you fell for that."

Sharon started to roll back over, "I think I will resume my nap and forget you are here."

"Come here," Andy said pulling her back around to smile at her. "Okay, the truth-I texted you a few times after 9:00 and didn't hear back. I tried calling you around 10:30, and you didn't pick up. I started to get a little worried. I tried you again at 11:00, and that's when Rusty answered your phone. He knows not to answer your phone, but when he saw it was me, well, he answered it, I guess to tell me you were sleeping. Anyways, he told me you had fallen asleep, but your phone was in the kitchen, probably why you didn't hear it. I was planning to take you to lunch, so I decided to stop and get lunch for you instead. I had no idea you'd still be sleeping. When I got here, Rusty was on his way out, apparently still working on that vlog with TJ. So, here I am," Andy waved at himself, grinning.

"I really slept that long?" Sharon asked. "What time is it now-where are my glasses?"

"Almost 1:00. I've been here an hour or so. I thought for sure the smell of the soup and tea would wake you up, but Sharon you were sleeping hard. Then, I decided to just read the paper here, and you didn't even move when I sat down on the bed here. I guess my Captain needed her beauty rest," Andy grinned.

"It is rather alarming a suspicious person was able to get into my home, even into my bed, and I didn't notice. I'm horrified to admit I'm a police officer," Sharon scoffed.

"I'm just glad you weren't armed," Andy chuckled. "Suspicious person? How dare you? I'm not suspicious," Andy grinned.

"More like alarming, delusional, disturbed," Sharon grumbled. Andy just laughed and rubbed her back.

Sharon curled up to him, and he wrapped his arm around her, "Are you responsible for the blanket?"

Andy nodded, "Mmm hmm," he murmured, "I know how cold you get, and you were all curled up in a ball on your side. It was cute, but I knew to get in a good nap, you'd need your blanket."

"Well, thank you," Sharon sighed as Andy tightened his grip on her, "So, you brought lunch?"

Andy grinned as he kissed her hair, "I did. Your favorite soup and salad. Hungry?"

"Starved," Sharon admitted. "I can't believe I was so tired, still am."

"Well, I guess some of that is my fault. I did talk to you for two hours on the phone after I dropped off Provenza last night."

"Worth it, "Sharon yawned, "Sorry. I didn't mean you were a bore. Still just tired."

"Well, how about I feed you, and then would you be up for another nap?" he grinned.

"Possibly," Sharon flirted back to him, "on one condition."

"Ahhh geez, always a deal with you," Andy complained.

"Fine," Sharon sat up, smiling at him, "You don't need to worry about it."

Andy tugged on her arm, pulling her back down to face him, "Alright Captain. You drive a hard bargain. What was your deal?"

Sharon smiled at him, "I always win," she giggled, "I was only going to suggest that after we eat the delicious lunch you brought over that we both take a nap?"

Andy nodded, "You do drive a hard bargain, and that is quite the deal to which I see no choice but to agree. I'm only going to request one thing in my negotiation."

Sharon's eyebrows rose, "What? It had better not be anything inappropriate."

Andy threw up his hand, "Captain! I'm shocked. My mind is not the one in the gutter. No, I was trying to be sweet. I was going to say that I'd love to take a nap here with you, but only if we could take a nap here and not on the couch. Your bed is pretty comfy I've decided, and well, I was almost asleep waiting for you to wake up. My back would thank me if we could nap here, and if well, that involves me getting to snuggle with you, I wouldn't argue. However, I will plead the fifth if you ever mention that I suggested snuggling with the Captain."

Sharon chuckled, "Andy, you can always make me laugh. I will accept that deal. I can't believe how worn out I am!"

Andy sat up when Sharon did and smiled at her, "Well, you are the crazy one, sorry, you are the one with the delightful sense of occasion. You've been busy this week, my dear, aside from solving a couple of murders, you hosted a party for Buzz and for the team here. No wonder you are exhausted. We need to make sure that pretty little head of yours had a good rest."

"Pretty little head?" Sharon questioned.

Andy shrugged, "What? Well, it is. I had to come up with something, and as much as we both want it to be true, Sharon, I didn't think saying, 'Pretty Young Thing' was the right phrasing. Pretty-well, that's obvious, but 'young thing,' yeah, well, who are we both kidding? Neither of us can stay awake for anything, and as you pointed out to me with Buzz's ride along, I'm not the young thing myself to chase criminals. You aren't the young thing either," he grinned.

Sharon glared at him, "You'd better be very careful with your statements, or this 'Young Thing' will kick the old man out of her house."

"Is Provenza here?" Andy's eyes grew wide, glimmering with mischief. "You mentioned old man."

Sharon sighed and shook her head as she stood, "You're impossible," she grumbled, walking out of the room toward the kitchen.

Andy caught her around the waist and spun her around. Sharon giggled as he kissed her, "Okay, so maybe you aren't that old," he mumbled between kissing her. Sharon just hummed.

"Oh, you're definitely still old," Sharon said as she smiled at him and winked as she broke free of his grasp to walk to the kitchen.

Andy stood there, bewildered, staring at her, and he heard her follow it up with, "but, that's why you also need a nap!"

Rusty returned home later in the afternoon after not getting ahold of Sharon. He was trying to figure out dinner plans, and it was unlike her to not return calls and texts. He entered the condo, and as he turned the corner to head toward her room, he started chuckling. He'd found Sharon alright. Sharon and Andy were both curled up on their sides, wrapped up in a blanket, completely passed out. Her bedroom door was open, so they weren't trying to hide anything; obviously the two had just decided to take an afternoon nap. Andy had his arm wrapped around Sharon, and he saw a discarded book and newspaper. It looked like a nice, leisurely afternoon. Rusty chuckled again at hearing Andy snoring. Those two, he shook his head, "Not dating-yeah, who are they kidding?"
