It was midnight and Sharona could not sleep. Where would he take her? Would he embarrass her? Is he romantic? 'STOP THINKING' she yelled to herself and turned over. She pulled the covers over her head and sighed.
Morning came faster that she expected. It was around 8:00 Sharona picked up the phone and dialed Monks number.
"Hello?" Monk answered on the other end "Hi it's Sharona" she said holding her breath "Oh...Sharona" Monk said a little uncomfortable "Um...about... the date thing...let's give it a shot" she said like she meant it "Really?" "Yea" "Ok...so...I'll pick you up around seven" Monk said "You mean I'll pick you up" Sharona said laughing "Same thing" Monk said about to hang up "Thanks Adrian" "For what?" he asked "For everything" she said sincerely and hung up. Both of them smiled and went to get ready.
***** Sharona had on a red v-neck shirt and a black mini skirt, along with a fancy pair or summer sandals. She hooked on a bracelet Monk had gave her once and headed out the door. She arrived at his house promptly at seven and knocked at the wooden piece in front of her. On the other side Monk stood there holding a bundle of flowers.
"Hello, Sharona...these are for you" Monk said handing them to her
"Adrian...you already got me flowers" Sharona said sweetly
"I know but...you're worth it" Monk said
"Thanks...so, you ready?" she asked walking down the steps
"Yes...but one more surprise for tonight...I am not going to be...me!" He said proudly
"You're not going to be you?" Sharona asked confused
"Right, I'm just regular Adrian tonight, no fixing anything, wiping anything...nothing!"
"Are you sure about this" she asked stepping in the car
"Yes...It's time I turn back into who I used to be...or at least try" he said opening his door.
"So where are we going?" Sharona asked excitedly "it's a surprise" Monk smiled "Ok" she said smiling also
Ch 5. Ice Cream can make you happy
The car ride there was pretty quiet. They pulled up to the restaurant about twenty minutes later.
"Tido's!! Adrian you're taking me to Tido's! Your unbelievable" Sharona said excitedly
"Well...I know it's your favorite restaurant"
"Thank you...This is great Adrian" she places a small kiss on his cheek
"Let's go in" Monk said, a little dazed
"Monk for two" Monk said to the server as they entered the restaurant "Right this way" the waiter said and lead them to a back table.
Sharona noticed a crooked painting on the wall and nudged Monk.
"Look at that painting it's crooked...doesn't that bother you?" Sharona asked, testing him on what he said before
"Not tonight" Monk said and stared straight ahead, flinching at the thought of the painting
"I'm impressed" Sharona said taking a seat at the table, "I've never seen you like this before...I like you like this"
"What'll you have to drink?" The waiter asked as he got out his notepad
"I'll have and Iced tea" Sharona replied opening her menu
"I'll have water" Monk replied also opening his menu
"I'll be right back" The waiter scurried off
"You only drink Sierra Springs!" Sharona said surprised
"I'm telling you...I'm trying to be different tonight...can you not make it any harder?" Monk said
"Sorry it's just...Why couldn't you have been like this in Mexico?" She asked staring at her menu. Monk just smiled and decided what to eat.
"Do you find this kind of awkward?" Sharona asked cautiously about five minutes later
"Yea" monk finally admitted
"So lets take our minds off of this subject and talk about something else" She suggested
"all right, So how's Benjy" Monk asked putting his menu down
"Well...he took the news pretty rough, but after we went to a family thing...he was fine" Sharona finished
"Good, Good" Monk answered
"Can I take your order?" The waiter said putting their drinks on the table
"Yea, I'll have the chicken parmesan" Sharona said
"And I'll have the chicken alfredo...no I'll have the cheese raviolis...on second though I'll have the fettichine...well maybe..."
"ADRIAN, just pick something!" Sharona said trying to keep her cool The waiter stood there confused and tapped his pencil against his notepad
"Ok, I'll have the chicken alfredo with broccoli...on a separate plate" he said proudly "Ok...I'll be back with your dinners shortly" The waiter replied Sharona rolled her eyes...happy that that was over "You know...my grandma told me you were really upset when you thought I wouldn't go out with you" Sharona said
"Your Grandma?...What?...Wait...Oh my God...Is Martha your..."He trailed off An embarrassed look came upon Monk's face as he came to realization
"Oh my God, you didn't know...Oh Adrian I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to..."
"It okay...so does that mean the only reason you came here tonight is because of her" Monk asked slightly angry
"No not at all...I came because I wanted to" Sharona pressed, "Can I tell you something, when I first met you and got to know you...I just thought you were a helpless guy with a compulsive need to fix things..."
Sharona saw Monk's face instantly drop and quickly continued what she was trying to say
"but then I realized, your life is hard and my life is hard and I have to say...I did think of the idea of you and me a couple of times"
Monk laughed and the waiter came with their dinners
*****
Later that night Sharona and Monk were walking through the streets of San Francisco.
"Want some ice cream?" Monk asked stopping their quiet walk
"Oh no I'm not that hungry" Sharona said waving her hands
"Come on...we'll share one" monk said grabbing her wrist and running down the block.
****** Monk pulled up to his house and stepped out of the car. The two walked up to the door.
"This was one of the best night of my life, Adrian" Sharona said
"I'm glad you liked it"
"I haven't had this much fun in years"
"What?...Working with me everyday isn't fun?" Monk asked
Sharona laughed slightly...still a little uncomfortable with the whole...situation
"Maybe we could do it again sometime?" she asked quietly
"sure"
Their faces were inches apart and finally Monk closed the gap between them. The two shared their first kiss. It wasn't passionate, just a long, sweet, nice kiss. Sharona moaned as the two broke apart a few minutes later
"Wow that was amazing" Sharona said dazed, gasping for air
"Yea...lets do it again" Monk said leaning in
Sharona hit him playfully with her purse
"Stop...your ruining the moment" she whispered
"Goodnight" Monk said grabbing her hand briefly and walking through his door
Sharona headed back to her car and found her self pulling up her driveway ten minutes later. She walked up the steps to her house to find Benjy on the couch waiting for her
"Hi Mom" Benjy greeted Sharona as she entered
"Oh Benjy...I love you so much" Sharona said while hugging him
"Mom, are you ok?" He asked taking a step back "yes" she said sarcastically while taking out money to pay the baby-sitter
" I take it you had a good time with Mr. Monk"
"He is so amazing Benjy, he really can change ya know" she said handing the baby-sitter a glob of dollar bills
"Is he going to be my step-dad?" Benjy asked, a little scared "There's always a chance" Sharona stated walking up the stairs "There's always a chance"
It was midnight and Sharona could not sleep. Where would he take her? Would he embarrass her? Is he romantic? 'STOP THINKING' she yelled to herself and turned over. She pulled the covers over her head and sighed.
