Why give up before we try

Feel the lows before the highs

Clip our wings before we fly away

I can't say I came prepared

I'm suspended in the air

Won't you come be in the sky with me

Time seemed to have stood still while she was waiting for the man, that she had finally accepted she maybe be falling in love with. She never in a million years thought Lieutenant Andrew Flynn would be the man she was falling for, but he was it.

So lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear the first knock on the door, so he knocked again and that was just what was needed to remove her from her from the trance of her thoughts. "Coming," Sharon said aloud, as she raised from the couch and walked to the door. As she placed her hand on the knob to open it, she had a quick thought Is this really happening? She opened the door, and there stood Andy, in a pair of jeans, a Dodgers shirt and a leather jacket and then she answered her mental question, Yes, it is.

Andy had an impressed look on his face, as she moved out of the door frame and extended her arm to motion him in, she said, "Come in, make yourself comfortable," and with that he entered and waited for her to shut the door before he stated, "someone has to take the lead tonight, who is going to be?"

Sharon looked shocked that he led with that avowal, but she obliged him with an answer as her face began to red, "I guess I should, since I admitted I was ready." With that statement, Sharon felt a sense of confidence come over her, as she led him to the couch, they sat closer than normal, but it made her feel more comfortable with what she was about to say.

Andy appeared nervous but the excited kind and when she glanced at him trying to gage his emotions before she started her discourse, that is exactly what she read from him and that was all she needed to begin.

"First, I want to make sure, no matter where this conversation leads, we will not let it affect our great friendship, no matter the outcome," Sharon said as she looked at Andy as he was registering her statement. Andy looked at her in eyes, and said, "No matter what, we will remain friends."

He looked at Sharon, and he could see that it was some doubt still appearing in her eyes, and with that he said, "I promise." Her face showed a smile in the corners of lips. He placed his hand on her hand that was fidgeting on the couch.

Sharon looked into his eyes for the assurance that he was ready for this conversation to begin. Once she saw what she was in search of, she began, "I just want to say thank you for being such a great friend, and for being so patient with me." Sharon glanced into his eyes, and she could feel him kind of tense up beside her as her words registered with him and could see the panic begin to rise in his eyes, as if she was denying him the one thing that he wanted, so she decided to continue on with her feelings before the moment could become anymore awkward.

Inching ghostly closer to him to reassure him, "You give me a feeling that I never felt before

And I deserve it, or at least I think I deserve it. It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore. The harder I try to ignore it, the more it intensifies," as she finishes her statement she searches his eyes for some type of response.

Andy squeezes her hand to let her know that he is okay with where the conversation is going, he says "Is there anything else?" he could sense that she had more to say. Sharon smiled at him as he smiled at her.

"I think that I have been falling in love with you, for longer than I am willing to admit, however I'm ready to act upon my feelings for you, "Andy leaned into Sharon lifting her chin with her his free hand and asked, "What took you so long?" all while flashing the boyish grin that she admired more than she had ever let him know.

She was shocked by his question, but not really, she laughed at his statement, and said "I don't know, I guess I finally realized, that the unthinkable may make us look crazy, but I'm willing to look crazy if it means that I can do it with you." Sharon was looking directly in his eyes when she made her confession.

His brown eyes, lit up with fire and desire with her confession, it took all of him to say, " I've been waiting a very long time for this." Sharon a tad bit confused and she asked "For what, me to confess my feelings," still looking at him in his eyes. Andy replied, "No, this," he pulled her closer and began to deeply kiss her, and to his surprise she kissed him back deeper than he had imagined possible from such a delicate woman. As they begin to kiss, both of their bodies began to relax. His arm crept around her, grabbing a hold of her waist, and the other hand was venturing through her thick flowing auburn locks. Her hand was firmly planted on his chest, while the other was lingering in his silver hair.

Once the essential for oxygen had become necessary, they separate, they apparent breathlessness was noticeable, as they smiled at each other, Andy said, "I knew how you felt about me, I was just waiting for you to admit it."

Sharon looked amused at his cockiness, but reveled his correctness. "If you knew, why didn't you say anything?" She looked at him waiting for his response. Andy smirked, "Because that would have took all the fun out of it," she laughed at him and slapped on the chest for his sarcasm.

As he grabbed his chest, in feigned pain, he said "a gentlemen waits for his lady, no matter how long it takes."

She couldn't believe her ears, but they wanted the same thing, and she was finally ready to acknowledge the moment.

"A distinguished gentleman," she playfully teased a kiss on his lips, "I have on my hands," Sharon stated.

"Very distinguished, I might add," Andy said before closing the space between them.
