Andy heard "nothing goes as planned" as the opening line, realized it was In My Veins, and sighed that Traci had picked such a sappy song. But she was grateful for the down time with Sam, knowing that he'd appreciate it as well. Andy was humming the song as she and Sam were embracing the entire time. Eventually, Sam started actually moving and dancing with her. They'd taken dance classes together a few weeks ago, so they knew the same steps. Slow songs were both of their favorites, and they both knew that this song described them perfectly.
"I'm never getting away from you, am I," Andy smiled at him.
"Never again." Sam replied.
"Good." Andy smiled and put her head where his neck met his shoulder. As soon as that song was over, they kissed again. Andy heard the brass line blare in the room as the Blues Brothers' Soul Man started. Sam and Andy started a simple swing routine they'd learned. It was seemingly a girls' choice dance; Traci picked Jerry, Noelle grabbed Frank, Gail and Chris went onto the dance floor, Sue smiled at Dov and they walked forward, and Oliver grabbed his wife. The other guests also started dancing. Sam swung Andy under his legs and she twisted her body around to go back under and stand up against him. Clearly people were watching them because every time they did an impressive step, people clapped.
"What, does no one have their own partner? So they have to cheer for mine?" Andy smiled at Sam again.
"Well, you took me down. On your first day. And I'm awesome, so that makes you awesome." Sam repeated himself from a few years ago. Andy smiled that he remembered that.
"Oh, is that why?" Andy asked and smiled at him. They kissed, once again. Andy was getting unsure about her feelings about all of these kisses. Not many people had seen her and Sam's more intimate moments.
"You okay?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, fine." Andy looked away.
"Andy. You're my wife. I know when you're lying," Sam smiled at the words my wife.
"I'm not sure if we're just here kissing just because people are watching. I don't want to share this," she motioned her finger in between them, "with anyone else." Sam dipped her down and kissed her as passionately as he could with them both having clothes on.
"Better?" Sam asked.
"People are still watching," Andy sighed. Sam stopped their swaying motion.
"Andy, you just got married. People are going to be watching you for a long time. People are waiting for us to screw up. They're waiting for me to be unfaithful, and they're waiting for you to go have sex with Luke. You can't see it on their faces right now, because they all seem happy. But really, they're all just waiting for us to screw each other over because that's what is expected in our marriage right now. We've taken so freaking long to finally find each other, and we've made so many mistakes between the two of us. Most of these people want us to screw up. See, but, those people are going to be very disappointed because very soon, they're going to realize that we won't screw this up." Sam looked at her for approval. She nodded her head and smiled at him. He leaned in to whisper something to her.
"Let them watch now. They won't be watching tonight," Sam said, and Andy got that mischievous look in her eye and started giggling.
"Okay." She simply said.
"Okay." Sam nodded at her. They sat down to eat because Andy was completely starved. Sam took so much of her steak that she had to go to the kitchen and ask for another one. After everyone had eaten and danced the night away, Sam and Andy decided to cut the cake. They had a chocolate marble cake with white, light purple, and green colored fondant; those were their wedding colors. Andy went to the kitchen again to grab the ice cream she had arranged for them to have for her and Sam. She was making friends with the chefs as well. Andy placed the ice cream down on Sam's plate and put hers on her own setting.
"Where'd you get that?" Sam asked.
"I know a guy." Andy started eating her ice cream. Sam just smiled at her and shook his head as he enjoyed the treat.
"Alright, it's time for the last dance. So Sam and Andy, come on," Traci eventually said into the microphone. The married couple went onto the floor and embraced each other. The entire time, they just swayed to the music. Sam was careful to kiss her cheek this time, since he had no idea what she was thinking right now. She smiled at him with appreciation of sparing her any more frustration. They intertwined hands and started walking towards their unmarked to make their way to Sam's apartment. Neither of them could keep the smiles from occupying their faces. The entirety of their invites had come out to send them off. They got in the car and started driving towards Sam's place. Sam opened Andy's door for her and she got out. She started walking, but Sam put a hand on her chest (partially to stop her, but mostly because he could touch her like that now).
"What?" Andy asked nicely.
"I'm nothing if not traditional," Sam laughed.
"Okay," Andy slyly said and looped her arms around his neck. He put his arms under her knee and around her back. He carried her upstairs and set her down in the kitchen, knowing that's where she'd want to be right now. She started looking around Sam's apartment.
"What? Is this not you enough? We can buy another place, Andy." Sam said.
"No, it's perfect. It's both of ours," Andy came towards him for a kiss. He finally complied because they were alone.
"You're sure?" Sam asked her again.
"Absolutely. I need to go shower before we go to the station for the gathering." Andy declared and started walking away from Sam.
"We can save water if you let me come with you." Sam smiled at her.
"You can come with me if you stop the whole smiley Sam thing. You've smiled at me more today than in the entire three years I've known you." Andy smiled at him.
"You have to stop, too." Sam declared. He was strangely alright with her not wanting him to smile at her. His face was hurting.
"Fine. Let's go," Andy sighed and grabbed Sam's hand. Andy got undressed in the bathroom but she made Sam get naked in his bedroom, with the door to the bathroom closed.
"Andy, this is ridiculous. I'm your husband; I'm bound to see you without clothes sometime or another." Sam finally said the h- word. Andy immediately opened the door; she was dressed.
"No sex. We don't have time for sex. We need to leave in about an hour." Andy said. Sam nodded his head and made his way into the bathroom. He turned on the water and they both got in.
