Decided to go a bit of a different route with this and post both POV's chapters at the same time. They were going to be 2 shorter chapters but yeah anywho long is good right? lol
It felt right to do Sharon's POV first this time and since as Sharon says she must go first!
Sharon's POV
When she woke up it took her a minute to remember what had happened. It slowly came back to her that she tried to go into work, pushed herself too far and Rusty got mad at her. Then Andy had come over to help Rusty deal with her and he got mad at her too. She must have fallen asleep after the painkillers kicked in, that and the warmth of Andy pulled her into a deep sleep. Even if it was just a few hours she hadn't slept that well in along time. Sharon also remembered that she had finally slept without being woken up by a nightmare, that was the first time since the attack. It had taken a few minutes to realize she was now alone in her bed, because she couldn't feel his warmth by her anymore. Maybe it was better this way, for him to be gone before she woke up. It would be awkward to face the man again anyway.
Sharon carefully rolled on her back and lay there staring at the ceiling for a few minutes. Coming to the realization that it was time to pick herself up and get on with her life. Either way this, whatever this was with Andy needed to be worked out and it need to be dealt with today. She was tired of living like this. She was a strong albeit stubborn woman she was never a wish-washy kind a person before all this started with Andy. She had to make hard decisions involving people's lives almost everyday. Sharon knew she could do the same thing for herself, whichever way this friendship or relationship went. Sharon decided she would call him later, Andy was going to talk to her whether he or herself liked it or not.
Stretching carefully not to move her left side too much. With the painkillers and some much needed rest Sharon felt better. Sitting up, Sharon realized she still had her work clothes on and decided she rather wear something more comfortable. Since obviously she wasn't going in to work today. Learning part of the lesson from this morning she knew she couldn't over do it. So she very carefully made her way to her closet and took her time changing into black yoga pants, a blue t-shirt and her favorite black cardigan sweater.
Already feeling worn out she sat down in the chair by her closet before she started getting dizzy again. Sharon knew she had to do each thing slowly not wanting a repeat performance from earlier. Taking a few breaths as she sat there when she noticed that the shirt she had left there this morning wasn't on the chair. She thought she had laid it across the back where she usually kept it. Maybe she had left the shirt in the bathroom.
That's when Sharon realized that she heard the water running in the bathroom. She must have been to into her thoughts to notice it before. Seemed strange to her, she didn't know why Rusty would be taking a shower in the middle of the afternoon? Now she would have to wait to look for it, she didn't want to lose that shirt. It was her favorite; well in all actuality it wasn't really hers. Sharon had requisitioned it from Andy the night they spent together. Not wanting to relive those memories too much yet though she had to smile at how she wouldn't give it back to him. Andy had said it looked way better on her then him anyways though he would much rather see it on the floor. Sharon brazenly told Andy if he wanted the shirt back he would have to come visit her bedroom again and take it off of her himself. Which now would probably never happen.
Now for the last week she had been wearing it to bed every night because it smelled like Andy. The smell was wearing off of it by now but still she liked to wear his shirt even if she was mad at him. It just made her feel safe in a way as if he was there with her at night. Especially with the nightmares she was waking up with. The shirt was comforting to her too. The ring of her cell phone brought her mind back from the missing shirt. Sharon's cell phone was on her nightstand and by the time she made it to her phone it had stopped ringing. As she was unplugging it from the charger it started ringing again, startling her some. Seeing that it was Andrea she quickly said hello and sat on her bed.
They were going over the information Andrea had found on Sharon's request when there was a knock at her front door. "Andrea, I have to go. Thank you for the doing all that for me. Yes I'll let you know." Sharon slowly moved to get the door, surprised at who she saw when she looked through the peephole. Pulling the door open she firmly asked, "what are you doing here?"
"I was so worried about you," he said frantically as he pushed his way into her condo. Almost knocking her over Sharon had to grab on to the table by the door for support not to fall. "Sharon, you haven't been answering my calls. What am I suppose to think? I rushed over to see if you were ok. You know I care about you but you don't know how much or you won't put me through all this?"
As he was rambling on Sharon was trying to process all that he was saying but she had no idea what was going on. "What are you talking about? In fact I think you should just leave and I mean right now!" Sharon took a step to open the door.
"No. No, I've got it worked out that I can be here for you every minute." He took a step towards her. "We can stay here together and when you're better we can finally leave here and..."
Sharon tried a rational approach, "What? Bill, what are you talking about I have a demanding job that I need to get back to. I have friends and family here."
"I can be that for you and when you get better, you can go in and quit that horribly dangerous job. A woman with your class and beauty shouldn't be working at all anyways. We can go away far way from this place. I can keep you comfortable, you wouldn't want for anything ever again." Bill step another step closer to her, "oh and I've seen your friends, the few friends you do have that is and you don't need friends like that. As for the kids they are older but Emily, Ricky and Rusty can visit when we get settled. Can't you see Sharon that I love you?"
Her eyes widen as she just stood there in shock. What was this guy talking about? "Bill, I don't know how you got all this information. You seem to have the wrong impression but I'm never going anywhere with you. Now this will be your last chance to leave."
Bill gave her a sneer then spat out "I'm not surprised you do seem to give off the wrong impression to a lot of men don't you. I thought that tall Sergeant or Lieutenant or whatever he is, would here for you. I guess I was wrong about him and you; he can't handle being around you either. It didn't take too long to push him away like you're doing to me too did it?" Before she knew what happened Bill grabbed her by the arms and kissed her "just wanted you to see what you would be missing if you send me away too."
How dare he do that? Sharon quickly pushed him away from her. Everything that he was saying and with what he just did Sharon couldn't take anymore. Her fist were balled up again from trying to hold back her anger as he went on about her life and complained about her and Andy. Repeating the same words she used on earlier today to a different man but this time she meant them. "Don't. You. Dare. Touch. Me," she said in a loud Darth Raydor tone then she punched him. She couldn't believe she punched him and right in the jaw. She had shocked herself. Sharon Raydor didn't loss her cool but when he grabbed her like that and kissed her hard. That was the last straw. Sharon could feel the bile rising up again she had enough of losing her stomach this morning but this man made her nausea. If she thought she was shocked by it all, it was no where near as shocked as Bill looked to find himself laying flat out on the floor.
"Did you see what she did to me?" Bill whined but she noticed he wasn't saying it to her but beyond her.
Sharon spun around a little too fast to see who this idiot was talking to and got a bit dizzy but she caught herself by holding on to the couch. When her eyes focused again she was looking into concerned dark brown eyes. Andy, he hadn't left her after all. No, he hadn't left he was standing in her living room wearing the t-shirt she had taken from him and his hair was wet. So that was him in the shower all this time? All Sharon could think about was how handsome he looked in his suit pants and his t-shirt, no her shirt she was determined to get it back if she had to take it off him herself. She was sure she must look a sight with her mouth hanging open so she snapped it shut. Only if she didn't have to deal with Bill creep Sharon would have other plans in mind for her Lieutenant. The anger she had for one man in this room had cooled down after her talk with Andrea this afternoon.
As if time stood still for her, Sharon replayed the call she received from her friend when she was pondering where she left her shirt. Which she had now figured out that mystery. It wasn't a long conversation but she learned a lot from her friend. Sharon couldn't run a background check on a person without probable cause, so she had asked Andrea to find out what she could for her.
Focusing back on Andy again Sharon gave him a hint of smile then turned her attention back to the creep lying on her floor. However before she could say anything Andy stepped up closer to her and placed his hand on the small of her back she knew it was because he saw her get dizzy and he was letting her know he was there for support. She could instantly felt the heat from his touch flow through her. It warmed her and made her feel strong enough to take on this jerk. "Are you ok?" He whispered quietly by her ear.
"Yes I'm 'fine," Sharon said equally as quiet.
She heard Andy say in low voice, "no Sharon you're really not fine at all but I understand you need to do this. Know that I'm here for you." It was then she saw him look at the person on the floor and said, "look man, if you can't take a slap from a..."
Bill slowly stood up, "what do you mean a slap? She..." he pointed accusing finger at Sharon, "she punched me."
Andy's head snapped to look at her. All Sharon offered Andy was a quick shoulder shrug and a half smirk. The look was as if to say there was no way to explain what happened.
When Bill started complaining again she watched Andy look at him. "You're a cop right? I want to press charges. Yes, I want her charged with assault." The way the fool said her made Sharon smile, he sounded just a little bit afraid of her.
"For what, I didn't see anything? It would be your word against a highly decorated LAPD police Captain. So we'll see how that works out for ya, buddy."
"You're saying she's just going to get away with this?" Bill took a step towards Sharon, Andy was about to step in between them but Sharon would have none of that. She certainly wasn't afraid of him and she could handle this. Though it was nice to know he would be there to have her back.
So she reached out and lightly touched his arm when turned to look at her, they locked eyes. In his warm brown ones Sharon could see that he understood and no words were needed, he gave her a nod and silently stepped back. Sharon slowly pivoted back towards Bill and she gave him her best glare she knew it made officers of the LAPD scared so she was sure it would work on this idiot, happy to see the fear in his eyes as he backed up a couple steps.
Sharon stood still with her arms crossed for a few second. She always liked to take a dramatic pause so they had more time to worry. Finally she said in an icy tone, "you want to press charges against me? Fine, my Lieutenant here would be happy to call them out here for you." Sharon looked back at Andy and nodded to him as a go ahead.
"So you want to have me arrested for assault? Then let's go over all the evidence first, shall we. How about we start with the fact that you practically barged into my home? Started spewing how you loved me and wanted to take me away from all this. Where I can live a calm peaceful life and never have to work again. Then you proceeded to grab me and kiss me." From the corner of her eye she caught the movement of Andy leaping forward towards Bill. She didn't turn to look at the man that was trying to protect her, she just held her hand up to stop him. Sharon wasn't quite sure if he stopped to honor Sharon's wishes or he stopped because it was his captain's order. Either way he stayed where he was and she knew it was hard for him not to go after the jerk.
When it settled for a second she continued, "now how about we talk about the fact that you've been following me for weeks now?" With that news Sharon heard a gasp from Andy. "I had assumed it was innocent enough until you happened to be a doctor at the very same hospital I was taken to. Which I thought well that could be a coincidence until I had my friend" she taunted the word friend since he didn't seem to like hers very much. "Yes, my friend found some interesting information on you and she says that Mr. Foster, you are not a doctor at all."
Andy had now stepped beside her and once again his hand was on her back. She didn't need defending but she had to admit it was nice to have someone who wanted be there for her. This time it was her that took a step towards Bill "oh and as for me quitting the job I love and running off with you. Having you run my life and my thoughts well that's not going to happen." Sharon said, shaking her head slightly then taking another step, "Bill not sure if you noticed in the time you were stalking me, that I'm an independent woman. If I wanted to run off somewhere I can do it all by myself at anytime I want. I would never ever quit this job that I have worked so hard for and I am quite good at it. I do really love putting bad guys in jail and I will really enjoy it when I put you in there too. But you didn't know all that did you?
"I...I'm...sorry. No, I...didn't know." Bill stammered and looked over her shoulder to Andy for help.
Sharon knew he would get no help from Andy. She advanced on him the last few steps that separating them. He had nowhere to go she now had Bill's back pinned against her hall table. She looked him directly in the eyes and with her best Darth Raydor voice she said, "well now you do." Standing there for a minute to let it sink into his thick skull before she turned to walk near Andy.
That's when Bill started going on about her. Sharon rolled her eyes at Andy as if to say does he ever stop. She was surprised at some hurtful things he was saying. She knew it was his way of trying to get back at her it happened to her all the time. So Sharon didn't turn around she just kept her eyes on Andy as he took a few steps next to her. She wasn't really listening to the jerk. The words Bill was saying didn't affect her at all but she could tell it was getting to Andy though. She continued to ignore Bill's rant until she heard a low growl from Andy that caused her to turn around and she heard the jerk say, "what does that tell you huh? When a compete loser like him doesn't want you..."
Before Sharon really knew what happened Andy flew past her and had Bill pinned up against the wall. Andy had his shirt in one hand and the other arm was pressed against his throat. "You have anything else you'd like to say about her, asshole?"
Sharon watched the fear come back into the man's eyes as he tried to swallow. In a merger voice he squeaked out, "I like to leave now."
"Oh you'll be leaving alright but not by your own accord, idiot."
The next moment there was a knock on her door, Sharon was grateful they were here, she didn't want the situation to escalate more then it already had. She was careful as she walked slowly to the door letting in Julio and Provenza. Sharon had to smile a bit as her second-in-command called out, "we're here to arrest some idiot. Sure hope it's not Flynn."
As the members of her team were leaving with Bill, Sharon said to Provenza, "thank you for all your help with this." He looked her in the eye and she could see that he got her double meaning. At first he looked worried but when she smiled at him he gave her a look of relive.
"Anytime Captain, anytime."
Sharon added in a more stern voice, "and you're always welcome to visit but when you do I would a appreciate it if you followed the rules of my house when you're here." That look of relive dropped off his face as she was talking it was hard for her not to smile. It was fun to mess with him sometimes she thought.
She could heard him mumble as he was leaving, "how the hell did she know?"
Julio was snickering in the hall, "she always knows sir, she just always knows."
After Provenza and Sanchez left, Sharon turned on Andy giving him a glare but she said somewhat hopeful, "and now to deal with you!"
Well this was suppose to bit shorter but again I got carried away! lol
