It came to no surprise that he was early, he was always early. It wasn't a bad thing it just meant she had to rush to make sure she was ready before he came, to avoid awkward meeting in robes.
Sharon was almost ready when he knocked on her door, Rusty looked up trying to hide the smile that graced his features when he saw his mom running to the door; heels in hand. Her newly curled hair bouncing around her shoulders.
"I know I'm early but, you know how temperamental traffic is." She looked up and smirked. That was a lie but she couldn't take it badly, he was early not late. As she slipped on her heel her hand reached for his shoulder so she could balance. He watched her grow when both feet reached the floor encased in her shoes.
"Let's go." She smiled "rusty we're going" she shouted getting a brief mumble as a response. They left the condo and walked down to his car. Andy walked around to the passenger side and opened her door, she could get used to this.
"How are you?" she asked
"Honestly," she nodded, "Well, I'm pretty nervous because I don't want to disappoint you." He admitted. She reached over and touched his arm.
"I'm nervous too" she reassured him. They nervously talked about trivial things as Andy drove to the restaurant. Once again Andy rushed to Sharon's side of the car to help her out. She took his hand and let him hold it as they walked into 'Serve'.
"I'm just going to say it," he announced to her, "I should have been more direct with you about how I felt and letting Nicole and my family believe we were together was wrong but I guess it was just easier to explain that I…I had" he rambled.
"You mean your crush. That runs deep because of our friendship." Sharon moved closer to him "It's ok, I think I see why you did it. I should probably tell you I've thought of little else since you asked me out…on an actual date." She smiled her hand inching closer to his.
"Really? I don't want you to push you into anything." He worried allowing his hand to catch hers.
"That's fine. Jack and I are over. The only issue would be work which wouldn't be a real issue if we kept an eye on it." She explained.
"How would we do that?" he asked raising an eyebrow and sitting even closer to her.
"Well, we have to inform Taylor at the earliest convenience. Before that, we have to remain strictly professional, Lieutenant" she teased him using his title.
"Okay," he nodded then looked into her eyes and closed in.
Finally, their lips met and they kissed over their finished meal and it was definitely worth all the misunderstandings and waiting. Andy vowed to himself that he would never let her go.
