I decided since I named it after an Alicia Keys' song I should include a little snippet of the lyrics.
These are not my toys, I just enjoy playing with them.
I hope you all enjoy
"Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?"
Sharon and Andy has always had a fascinating dynamic. However, since she took over Major Crimes, after Brenda Leigh decided to retire, from the LAPD, things became different. Everyone one around them noticed the shift between the two, however, Sharon was unable to do so, or so she thought.
Sharon has always felt a small tingle in being since the day she met Andrew Flynn, however, she has always tried to ignore it. Mainly because she was married, a loveless marriage, but still a marriage and secondly because she was his superior. She never understood what drove her to have that feeling for him, until she took over Major Crimes and they were forced to spend obscene amounts of time together. Everything begin to change when she decided to be his buffer for Nicole's wedding, and with that came new feelings, for them both. After the wedding Sharon and Andy began to spend a great deal of time together, they went to the movies and dinner occasionally, a Dodger's game, a black tie affair at the Japanese Museum, all of which Rusty so ardently pointed out to the "non-dating" couple and Nicole earlier that night.
Sharon enjoyed being Andy's co-worker but most importantly his friend. As a friend, he is everything that any human, could ever desire. He is so filled with passion, compassion, humor, seriousness, loyalty and truthfulness that is almost too painful to bear. Upon realizing he made a great friend, she began to wonder if the qualities that he possessed as a friend are what she wanted in a mate. Sharon knew she what she thought she wanted in a mate, but it had been so long since she had even contemplated the necessary traits a man must have for her to consider him being a part of her life.
As Sharon was sitting on her couch, she began to wonder about the Un-Thinkable. Could this really work? Could she be falling for the hot-headed Lieutenant? Could he really be falling for the strictly by the rulebook Captain?
All while thinking those thoughts, her mind began to wonder back to a particular dinner they had, that seemed a little different, but neither one of them acknowledged the difference. One night after a long and arduous day at the office,
"Sharon, would you like to grab a bite," asked Andy as he stood at her door. With a starry look of hope and glimmer in his eyes.
"Sure, let me finish this paperwork, and I will meet you there in 20," Sharon replied rather smoothly and sultry. Her emerald eyes, never left the paper she was reading to answer his question, however, there was a small smirk on her face.
"I don't mind waiting for you, you do know that right?" Andy blurted out quickly all while staring at her, hoping that she would glance up at him.
Sharon lifted her eyes from the paperwork, and took off her glasses, and replied," I'm well aware of that, Andy." Soon after she completed her statement, they both realized that their exchange had deeper meaning than it possibly meant to.
Sharon hurriedly spoke, "I'm thankful for the offer of waiting, but I don't want to hold you up." Before Sharon could even complete her last word Andy interrupted her with "I don't mind waiting, I will wait an eternity for you." With that he leaned back against her door frame and waited patiently for her response. He had the look of unrequited love in his eyes, and she knew that look all too well, because she also had that look for quite some time now.
Sharon looked at him, all while trying suppress an infatuated smile, and she said "Well I hope it doesn't take me an eternity to finish this paperwork," jokingly, because she could feel air had become extremely thick and she was unaware if she was reading him and his choice of words correctly.
They both laughed, and Andy stood there looking at her apprehensively, and completely understanding, that possibly he should back off just a little, said, "eternity needs to hurry the hell up, I'm hungry," with the biggest forced grin.
As Sharon snapped back to reality, sitting on her couch, sipping on a glass of Cabernet. Her emotions began to overcome her and she began to lose the sense of control on her emotions that she thought she had. The mere thought of Andy made her core whimper with bliss, not to mention what it did to other body parts. With that last notion, she had cracked a gentle, yet seductive smile. She began to remember three key facts about him that she just adored, his presence, his smile, and his compassion. Those three things made her realize, Andy is more than just my friend.
But with that last thought, she had some more contemplating to do before she informed him, she was ready...
