-1I am loving the responses so far. I did get a request for longer chapters but I am just kind of making this up as I go, and don't have a lot of time with my job schedule right now. But I am working in it!
Of course, I don't own Rookie Blue. Sure wish I did.
Andy entered the bathroom and turned on the light. You could tell that a woman didn't live here, the decorations in his home were sparse. The colors were dark and manly. Sam's razor and shaving cream sat out on the counter. There were two panels of the mirrored medicine cabinet hanging above the sink. She took a guess and opened the right side. She noticed his toothbrush and toothpaste on one shelf, aftershave and several colognes on another. She pulled one out and removed the cap. She just held the bottle to her nose and inhaled the scent of Sam. No wonder he always smells so good when they were out riding around together on shift, she thought.
As she placed the bottle back in the cabinet, she noticed a box of condoms on the top shelf. She gasped, blushed, and quickly closed the door. Wow, this is why you're not supposed to snoop through other people's things, she thought. She couldn't help by wonder about Sam's sex life and how often he used them. While they spent a lot of time together on the job, as partners, they never really spoke about his personal life. Sam knew that she was with Luke (which they never really discussed) and she had just met Monica earlier that day, but she realized that she didn't really know much about Sam's dating life. And it's not really you place to ask, is it Andy? Or should she? She didn't really feel as though they were quite ready to have that talk. Hell, she was barely ready to have the one that was coming up!
Andy opened the left side of the cabinet and found the items that she was looking for. She found some hydrogen peroxide to sterilize the wound, butterfly bandages to help hold the cut together, some disinfectant cream and some bandages and gauze. She grabbed two small towels from under the sink and headed back out to Sam. She paused for a moment in the hallway and took a deep breath to call her nerves. Maybe I should have looked at the size, she thought before realizing what she was thinking about. Andy, get your head in the game tonight! she scolded herself. She couldn't believe she was having these kinds of thoughts about her TO.
Sam looked up when he saw Andy heading back through the doorway. He noticed the faint blush on her cheeks and realized that she had found the condoms. They were about a year or two old, from before he had gone undercover and he had just never gotten around the throwing them out. She must think I have girls over all the time, he thought.
Little did she know that his dating life had become non-existent for a long time . He hadn't been with anyone since the Anton Hill undercover operation and things with Monica had cooled off even before that. Of course, Andy just met Monica earlier today, and surely she must have noticed the familiarity between us, he thought in a panic. If only she knew that even Monica had picked up on his feelings for Andy within just a few minutes. How was it that everybody seemed to realize it but Andy? he wondered. First Oliver, then Monica. He really needed to set the record straight, see what she was thinking. He could see the wheels turning in her mind right now.
Andy set the supplies on the coffee table, knelt back down on the floor in front of Sam and set to work cleaning out the wound. She poured the hydrogen peroxide over the cut and centered the towel to catch the drips when she heard him gasp from sting. She leaned over and gently blew on the cut to help take away the pain.
Sam couldn't believe how adorably cute she looked right now, leaning over him and taking care of him. She looked up at him with those gorgeous warm brown eyes and he felt his breath catch again. "You ready to talk?" he asked. She just nodded her head and let him begin. They simultaneously took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Realizing how nervous they both were, they laughed. Now was as good a time as any…
