Still loving all of the reviews! Thanks so much guys!
If I owned Rookie Blue, this is how things would have gone down. J
The next three days passed the same way. Sam would go visit Andy when he was done with shift and they would go out to eat. They'd end up back at Andy's apartment, making out on the couch like a couple of teenagers, but Sam still wanted to take things slow. He didn't want to push her, because she was still so fresh from her breakup with Luke. He never spent the night, and they had yet to take that next step. He wanted to tell her how he really felt, but was still waiting for the right moment.
Each day that he spent without her in the squad car seemed to just crawl by. They sent sweet messages back and forth on their cell phones and flirted like crazy, but he couldn't wait for her to be back at work and sitting next to him. On the third evening, Andy called him as he was leaving the locker room and heading to his truck.
"Guess what?" Andy laughed into the phone before Sam could even say hello.
"I miss you too," Sam replied with a chuckle.
"Of course I miss you, silly! No, I'm calling because Frank just called me and let me know that IA cleared me. I'll be back at work tomorrow!"
"That's great, Andy. I'm actually on my way to pick you up now. We still good for Chinese?" he asked.
"Yup! See you in a few! Bye!" Sam closed the phone and put it in his pocket before climbing into his truck. Thank God, he thought. He wasn't sure that he could have gone much longer without her by his side at work. He'd really missed her this week. The fact that they were seeing each other after hours only made it that much harder on him.
(The next day)
Sam pulled his truck into the 15th division parking lot. He grabbed the two cups of coffee from his console and while heading towards the building, spotted Officer Noelle Williams.
"You shouldn't have," she said, reaching for one of the coffee cups.
"I didn't," Sam replied, pulling the cups just out of her reach.
"Ouch!" She asked, "Who's the lucky girl?"
Sam thought for a moment and replied, "Jerry." Noelle laughed.
"I don't know, bounce in your step, twinkle in your eye… If I didn't know any better I'd swear you were in love…"
He stopped right in his tracks as Noelle continued on into the building. Was it that obvious? he asked himself. He smiled and continued into the building.
Once inside, he tried to find Andy. He looked everywhere for her, but assumed that she wasn't there yet. He headed for his desk in the bullpen when he heard Luke call to him.
"Hey Swarek! We need to talk," Luke said.
Sam grimaced. "Is this about McNally?"
Don't worry, next chapter is coming right up! I just wanted to break these up or the chapter would have been too long.
