The Phone Call….

Chapter 7

A/N- thanks for the reviews…here's a new chapter updated 2/28/05!This is one of those scenes where Monk is in bed and thinking of Trudy, and she appears.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Monk stared up at the ceiling above his bed, thinking about…. well, everything.

But mainly, Sharona.

He felt guilty, kissing another woman and liking it, what about Trudy? The woman he had cared for most was haunting his mind, like a ghost….

"Adrian…." Trudy whispered, appearing next to him in bed.

Monk looked over in her beautiful blue eyes and smiled at her.

"Trudy…I'm so glad you're here."

Trudy reached over and ran her fingers through his hair and rubbed his cheek, "Adrian, I think we need to talk about something…"

"Yes, we do Trudy." He sat up in bed and held her hand, "I've disappointed you Trudy."

"No you haven't, what are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

Trudy sighed and rolled her eyes, "Ah, you mean you and….Sharona."

Monk moaned a deep sigh of depression and nodded, "I don't know what I was thinking, I was so caught up in the moment, and Oh, God, she was there and…"

"Shhhhh…." Trudy whispered putting a finger to his mouth, "It's okay Adrian, I think it's great."

He looked at her abnormally with a uncertain face, "What?"

"Adrian, It's been eight and a half years without me, it's time for you to move on…"

"Trudy, I can't believe what you're saying, you want me to move on. How…. I…could never…"

"Listen to me, that kiss, you liked it didn't you?"

"No."

"Adrian…I know you did."

"So…Trudy that doesn't matter. You are my first love…"

"That doesn't mean I have to be your only one…. Adrian, this is Sharona. You love Sharona, she helps you and most importantly, she makes you happy!"

"So do you." Monk said quietly and looked down. Trudy brought his head up to hers and placed a soft kiss on his lips, "I really think you should do this…. Just think about it."

Monk placed a caring hand on her shoulder and she disappeared.

He sighed once again and rolled over to go to sleep…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sharona re-applied her lipstick for the third time. She had been up since six o' clock, thinking. She was getting ready to go see him and she was nervous.

She tousled her hair to make it look better, and sighed, she hated awkward situations.

5 minutes later

Sharona pulled her large station wagon up his small driveway, and put it in park. She got out and slowly walked up the front walk, feeling a great sense of familiarity. She took out the key and opened the door.

"Adrian?" She asked walking through the house.

He was sitting at the kitchen table, reading the newspaper quietly.

He turned to look at her but couldn't.

She walked over to where he was and sat down across from him, "You ready to go?"

The tension in the air was so thick; you could have cut it with a knife.

"Go where?" he said, finally looking at her.

"The captain called, he has a job for us."

"Okay," Monk said getting up.

Ten minutes later they arrived at the station and were sitting in the office.

"Sharona's back!" Randy said making an entrance and taking a seat on a nearby desk, "How've you been."

"Good, well okay I guess." She replied with a small smile.

The air was silent as each one of them looked at one another, "Is something wrong?" Stottlemeyer asked Monk.

"No."

"Oh….okay, Monk c'mere I got some stuff to show you."

Monk followed Stottlemeyer into his office, meanwhile….

"So, what's with you and Monk?" Randy asked blatantly.

"Nothing, it's…nothing," Sharona said quietly, rubbing her forehead.

Randy gave her a look and she sighed, "I kinda…. kissed him."

"You what?"

"Not on purpose, it was one of those, caught-up-in-the-moment kisses, I was just happy that I got my job back…"

"Oh My God."

"I know…. I know." She said.

"No, Oh my God, you're smiling. You liked it."

"What? No that's crazy…" she trailed off.

"Sharona. You're glowing…"

"So."

"C'mon, just admit it, you kissed Monk and you liked it," Randy said beaming with pride.

"No, Randy…." She said giggling.

"Sharona."

"Fine, fine…I kissed Adrian, and I might have…. enjoyed it."

"I knew it," he said getting up.

"Randy, don't……tell him. Please."

"Why not?"

"Just…. don't."

"Okay." He said, "Welcome back."

He gave her a light pat in the back and walked out of the room….

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
