A/N- Heyy, yes I'm back for yet another A/S story! Although this one will have a little A/N mixed in, I hope you still love it Sharona fans!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It was an overcast day in San Francisco; it was early March so it was chilly.
But it was not just another ordinary day for Adrian Monk; it was the day he had been waiting for, for three months.
He was finally going to see her.
It was his own decision, with no help from Natalie or dr. Kroger; he just… wanted to see her.
The wind ruffled his jacket as he told a hold of his bags and led himself into the airport.
He felt good about himself for the first time in a few months, he felt more human than he ever had before.
As he boarded the airplane, his nerves kicked in and he almost turned around but the though of seeing her pushed him back down in his seat.
Natalie did not know where he was going, she had questioned him a million times, but he just said he was visiting someone.
"Water sir?" The flight attendant asked him, trying to catch his attention
"Is it Sierra Springs?"
"No."
"No thank you," he replied with a small smile.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
After an extremely long five-hour flight, he had arrived in New Jersey. The cold wind briskly hit him in the face as he stepped out of the airport.
"Do you need a taxi sir?" an attendant asked him.
"Yes…thank you."
He wiped down the taxi seats and carefully told the driver where he was going, rambling on and on about his friend Sharona.
Five minutes later he got there, 541 Longwood Drive, exactly where he wanted to be.
He rolled his head around and loosened his shoulders as he rolled his suitcase up the front walk. He took in a deep breath of frigid air and rang the doorbell.
Sharona opened it, and realizing whom it was, dropped the papers she was holding.
"Adrian?" She said in disbelief.
"Sharona…finally!" Monk pleaded as a huge smiled formed on his face.
She took a few steps toward him and fervently wrapped her arms around him.
The stood in each other's embrace for a few seconds as she let a few tears slip from her eyes.
He took a step back and kept his hand on hers.
"Adrian….whataya doing here?" she asked in her thick New Jersey accent.
"I…. came to visit."
"You…came to visit…me…all by yourself?"
"Yes…"
"You flew by yourself?" She asked, cutting him off.
"Yes…I just…needed to see you."
"Aww…. Adrian," she said sweetly, "Well…you could of called, but I'm glad you're here. Come in."
He followed her into the small house, lugging his suitcase behind him.
"Benjy, come down here!"
"Why?" Benjy yelled from upstairs.
"Just come down here!"
Benjy came flying down the stairs and smiled as soon as he saw Monk.
"Mr. Monk!" he screeched his high-pitched voice.
"Hello Benjy…. how are you…you look…older."
Benjy smiled at him and followed them both into the kitchen.
"Adrian, do you want something to drink?"
"No, I'm fine…Benjy could you leave your mom and me alone for a few minutes, I need to ask her something."
"Sure!"
He left the room and Sharona took a seat next to Monk.
"How have you been?" She asked, taking a sip from her water bottle.
"Come back…." He wined, looking her straight in her blue eyes.
She stared at him questionably and cleared her throat.
"Adrian…I can't…come back…"
"Please…Sharona…."
"Adrian…. I can't come back."
"Oh c'mon Sharona, you can do whatever you wanna do…."
"No, I can't Adrian, you just think I can do whatever I wanna do."
He stared at her questionably and sighed, "I can tell you're not happy here…"
"Adrian, you've been here for three minutes, how could you possibly know what I'm feeling."
"I…. know." He said with a confident look.
"I have a fiancée and a son who needs his father, I can't leave."
"You're…marrying…. Trevor?" Monk asked quietly, looking down.
"Yes…Adrian…look at me…"
He looked at her straight in the eyes again.
"I can't come back." Sharona placed a caring hand on his shoulder and he smiled a bit, "But you came here to visit and to have fun so lets forget about me and talk about you…how have you been?"
"I got a new…assistant."
Sharona's heart stopped for a second but a smile remained on her face, "Oh…that's great Adrian…what's her name?"
"Natalie…. Teeger, she has a daughter named Julie. They're great."
"Good…. good…" She trailed off. It is not like she did not expect him to get a new assistant; she just never thought it would happen.
"Well it's late, we have a guest room upstairs, c'mon lets go get it ready."
He followed her up the stairs, peering in every room as he passed them, "Sharona, where's Trevor?"
Sharona avoided his eyes as she lugged his suitcase into the guest room, "Uh…he's working, he works late a lot."
"His restaurant closes at ten…it's eleven thirty."
"Well, I guess he goes out to eat with some guys after work…"
"Don't you think he could eat there, I mean it's a restaurant…"
"Adrian…I don't know where he is okay…he has his own life." She snapped at him and he quickly shut his mouth.
"I'm going to bed, if you need anything just ask…"
She left the room without looking at him again. She and Trevor were having problems lately and she really wished she knew where he was. It was a sensitive topic for her and she felt bad about yelling at him.
Back in his room Monk climbed into his bed with a sigh, what he thought was going to be a good day had turned into hell.
