The Phone Call….

Chapter 10!

A/N- Well I felt like writing this chapter because I just watched at least 5 hours of Season 2 on tape and I felt the need to write something with Sharona in it! Lol, I miss her on the show.

Unfortunately, this chapter will be the last! Sad, I know, but I'll have a brand new story started in a week or so! Look out for it! I love you all. Thanks for being so kind with all of those reviews! And all those great ideas really shaped my story!

"Ya know what I've been thinking?" Sharona asked, taking a seat on the couch.

The day was beautiful…warm and sunny, just the way she liked it.

"What?" Monk asked, carefully fixing his jacket.

"We've been together for a week and we still have not gone on an official date."

"Yes we have." Monk replied.

"When?"

"You remember when you came over, on Wednesday?"

"That was not a date." Sharona sighed.

"Yes it was, you ate dinner over."

"Adrian, if you count every time I've eaten dinner over here as a date, then we've been dating for three years."

"You're…. right. I'm not good with…. dating."

"That doesn't matter. Let's go out, have fun like real couples do."

Monk looked at her mysteriously and smiled.

"How bout…" She said, putting her arms around his neck, "That tonight, we go out dancing or something."

"Dancing? Like…. Dancing as in…swinging yourself around… in public?"

"It will be fun." Sharona reached up and placed a nice, soft kiss on his lips.

"Okay."

"Good I'll pick you up at 7:30."

"How about I pick you up…"

Sharona stood back and brushed a few strands of hair off her face, "You're going to drive?"

"Yes."

"You hate to drive…"

"That doesn't mean I can't."

Sharona smiled and kissed him again, "Okay. Then you'll pick me up at 7:30?"

"Yes." He smiled and helped her put her jacket on.

"Bye," she said and walked out.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

8:00 pm.

Monk and Sharona were at a nice restaurant-dance kind of place. It was elegant, with a fun vibe to it. Sharona was wearing a silky red dress, and her hair pulled back. Monk was in his usual attire.

"This place is beautiful…." Sharona said looking around.

"Yes. It is very nice, do you think they've cleaned lately…"

"Adrian," she said cutting him off, "We came here to have fun. Lets not think about that stuff tonight."

"O…Okay." He stuttered.

He looked around a little more and just he was about to join Sharona at their table, a familiar face caught his eye.

She was sitting in the lounge- corner of the restaurant, obviously unseen by anyone but him.

It looked as if she was crying a lot, her eyes were red and her makeup was running.

His first intention was to go over and see what was wrong, but that would mean leaving Sharona behind.

So he sat down at his table, keeping a careful eye on her.

"What's wrong?" Sharona asked, taking a bite out of her salad.

"Nothing…. nothing it's just…will you excuse me for a second. I just need to…check on something."

"Sure…" she said suspiciously.

He made sure she was not watching and went over to her…

"Natalie?" He whispered.

She turned around quickly and wiped her eyes.

"Mr. Monk, what are you doing here?" She sniffled and wiped her face down with a tissue.

"Are you…. okay?"

"I'm fine Mr. Monk."

"Well….you don't look okay."

"Thanks," she said, sniffling a bit more.

He sat down on the couch, right next to her.

"I mean…. you look sad."

"I am."

"What happened?"

She put her head up to look at him for a moment.

"The guy I was here with….I caught him with another girl." She said, a few stray tears escaping her eyes.

"Oh…" Monk did not know what to say.

He saw her try to hold it back, so he put a caring arm around her and rubbed her back softy, "I'm, sorry."

"I thought he was the one." She said sobbing heavily.

She leaned in closed and he felt uncomfortable. He rocked her back and forth a few times as her tears started to subside.

"Do you want me to take you home?"

"No…that won't be necessary. Besides you're probably here with Sharona right?"

Monk nodded.

"Go back to her, Mr. Monk."

Monk nodded once again and got up.

"Thank you," she whispered, "Ya know, we never said a proper good-bye."

She got up and gave him a loving hug, "It was fun working with you."

"Same here…and if you ever need…anything. Just call." He whispered into her ear.

"I will…. good-bye Mr. Monk."

"Good-bye Natalie Teeger," he said placing a friendly kiss on her cheek.

He walked back to his table, watching Sharona eat her salad contently.

"Hey, where'd you go?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm back now."

"Oh…okay," Sharona smiled, "Do you wanna dance?"

"Monk looked back over at Natalie who was smiling at him, "Sure."

Monk helped her out of her seat and led her over to the dance floor, where one of her favorites songs was playing.

He entwined his hand with hers and she laid her head down on his shoulder. They moved slowly to the beat, not saying any words.

"Adrian, where did you learn how to dance?"

"Trudy taught me…. she loved to dance."

"She did a really good job."

Her crystal blue eyes looked up at him and he leaned down to give her a passionate kiss.

"I love you Sharona," he whispered in his ear.

A tear of happiness slid down her cheek, "I love you too….Monk." She grinned and wrapped her arms around him, " Don't ever leave me."

"I won't." he replied, holding her tight.
