Chapter 8
"So, what's going on with you and Swarek?"
Andy opened her locker door, which conveniently hid her face from her friend's prying eyes. "What are you talking about?" she answered, trying to sound as natural as possible.
Traci rolled her eyes and pushed the metal door closed, forcing her friend to look at her. "Stop acting so innocent, Andy. You know what I'm talking about." She told her, pointing her finger accusingly at her.
She raised her eyebrows coyly and focused her attention on her bag, knowing Traci would be able to see she was lying just by looking into her eyes. "I don't."
Of course, Traci saw right through her act. "Ok, let me clarify this for you. Just yesterday, you were PISSED at Swarek, calling him names and raking your brain to remember what you'd done to make him mad at you." She bent her head to get a good look at her face. "And today, you walk in the station together, with the widest satisfied smile on your faces. And just like that, you go back to patrolling together, as if nothing ever happened."
Andy let out a long sigh and sat down on the bench, giving her a pleading look. "Trace, I'm not supposed to talk about it." Sam and her had agreed to keep things quiet for a while, since it was all so new. They'd done a very good job acting professionally when in front of the others today, and had settled for loving glances while patrolling together. She was quite proud of herself, actually, since her body had been asking for him the second they'd stepped out of his house.
She didn't know how she'd thought she'd be able to hide it from Traci though.
"HA! So there's an "it"! I knew something was up when you didn't come to the Penny last night." She nearly shouted, completely ignoring Andy's panicked face. "Plus, you have that 'I've just had awesome sex' look plastered all over your face."
Andy shook her head, not believing her. "Ok, first, I'm pretty sure my face isn't that explicit." She stated, blushing furiously. "And second, you've got to stop acting so damned proud if you want me to tell you anything."
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Now will you PLEASE tell me what happened last night?" She asked her, clearly over excited.
"I went to Sam's place." Andy told her, trying to keep a straight face.
Tracy's eyes grew huge. "Ok, keep going."
She grimaced and shook her head. "Trace…"
"No backing out now, McNally! You've got to tell me everything. The whole story."
Andy let out a long defeated sigh. "I went to his house and seduced him."
"You WHAT?" Traci cried out, not believing her ears.
"Keep your voice down!" Andy shrieked, thankful the locker room was empty. "I found out why he was so mad at me." She told her, shuddering at the memory. "Turns out when Sam brought me back to my place after our girls' night, we kind of… started making out on my couch. Apparently, I was a lot drunker than I thought."
"What did you do?"
She bit on her lower lip. "I called out Luke's name."
"You WHAT?" Traci threw her head back and let out a hearty laugh, not believing what she was hearing. "You actually called Callaghan's name while having sex with Swarek?"
"NO! We didn't do anything. We just kissed, and I called Luke's name." She clarified. "Don't laugh, Trace. It's horrible."
"Well, I think it's actually quite hilarious." She answered, ignoring her friend's glare. "And knowing Sam, I now understand why he was acting like an ass."
Andy sighed and shrugged her shoulders, hoping what she'd said would be enough for her friend. "So that's it."
Traci shook her head and lifted her t-shirt over her head, getting ready to take her shower. "I know there are a lot more details than that, officer McNally. And I'm gonna make sure you tell me EVERYTHING on our next girls' night."
Andy stood up from the bench, following her lead. "I'm never drinking that much again." She promised, her fingers working on the buttons of her uniform.
"Yeah, right. That's what you said last time. And then, you got so drunk you called your ex's name while Sam was trying to have his way with you." She teased.
The brunette shook her head, knowing she'd never hear the end of it. "Are we going to join the others at the Penny or not?" She asked her, trying to change the subject.
Traci grabbed her shower kit and closed her locker. "Of course, dear. Wouldn't want to keep you from your dark, handsome man."
"Trace, I swear as soon as I see something happening between you and Jerry… you're never going to hear the end of it."
"Well Jerry would have to actually try something for you to tease me about it." She bitterly reminded her.
Andy smiled and winked at her. "Maybe our next girls' night should be at my place then. I could ask him to come get you, and you could use that liquid courage to jump him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind that."
"And get called by another man's name? Not so sure he'd like that!" She jumped, avoiding the bottle of shampoo Andy had thrown her way. "HEY!"
"I should've NEVER told you anything."
"Andy, you're the worst liar in the world. I would've gotten it out of you at some point." She picked up the discarded bottle and threw it back at her. "Come on, we have to move if we ever want to get out of here."
XXXXXX
Andy's eyes instantly scanned the bar the moment she walked in, instinctively looking for Sam. She found him quickly, sitting at the bar with a drink in his hand, chatting with Jerry. As if he'd sensed her walk in, he turned his head towards the door and spotted her, giving her a cute dimpled grin.
And, just like that, with a simple smile, she felt like she'd finally made the right choice. Sam was the right man for her, the only man for her. She was unable to keep herself from grinning widely as she followed Traci to the rookies' usual table, not before brushing his hand as they walked right past him.
"At last, our team of mighty superheroes is complete!" Dov nearly shouted, raising his glass to them when they took their usual seat.
Gail snorted. "You're such a dork, Epstein."
Everyone chuckled as Dov waved her off, emptying his drink in one last gulp. "Whatever, a lot of ladies love my geekiness." He turned his attention to the new comers, pointing his finger back and forth between the two. "You two were missing on all the fun. What took you so long?"
Traci and Andy exchanged a look and grinned. "Just… girl talk." Traci answered. "Something you'd totally understand, Dov, but will never be a part of."
"Touché!" Chris shouted, hitting his friend's shoulder with his fist.
Andy laughed and turned her eyes towards the bar, blushing as her eyes met Sam's, who apparently was more interested in watching her than in listening to what Jerry was telling him. He gave her a small wink and brought his drink to his lips, his stare filled with heat, which made her whole body tingle all over.
She watched him as he emptied his drink and set the glass on the counter, sending her one last heated look before slapping Jerry on the back and making his way out of the bar.
She could've sworn her heart started beating faster. She looked back at her friends and gave them an apologetic smile as she started standing up from her seat. "Ah, you know what? I think I'm starting to feel a little under the weather. I think I'm gonna head home right now and go to bed early."
She made a point of ignoring Traci's amused smile as they all tried to make her change her mind. After promising next time all the drinks would be on her, she finally made it out of the Black Penny and into the warm night. As soon as the door shut behind her, someone grabbed her from behind and pushed her against the nearest wall, molding his body into hers.
"SAM! Someone's gonna see us." She told him half-heartedly, moaning as he attached his lips to her neck.
Sam's mouth slowly traveled up to her ear, making her groan appreciatively. "What took you so long." he asked her, giving her ear a small nip.
"I wasn't in there for more than five minutes." She reminded him, burying her fingers into his unruly dark hair to keep him from moving away.
"Too long… waaay too long." He trailed off in a husky voice. "I need you naked. Now." He added, showing her how hard he wanted her.
Andy closed her eyes shut, feeling dizzy as a wave of desire washed over her. She pushed his head back and brought his mouth to hers, desperately needing to show him how much she wanted him too. She broke the kiss, breathing heavily as she fought with all her might not to drag him back to his truck and have her way with him right there. "What are you waiting for?" she mumbled against his mouth. "Take me home, Sam. Make me scream."
