I'm truly, truly so SOOO sorry you had to wait this long for another chapter. But my health is still a mess, can't concentrate on anything anymore, make the stupidest mistakes ever… forget things easily and school or writing takes twice as much time as before. Coming up on words in English is becoming real hard sometimes. My head it HURTSSSS. ;'(

Thank you all for the lovely reviews and concerns about my headaches. So sweet! And special thanks to km115 & linda p for giving me tips. I'm at a special diet at the moment to see if my headaches get worse after eating/drinking something, but nothing so far.. it sucks really, not knowing where it's coming from and no medicines that work!

And yes.. I found a cute, very cute actually, break-up buddy.. perhaps more will come from it, others told me he likes me in like-like! And I guess I like him a lot too, but… I'm not quite ready for a new relationship right now. I'm actually happy to be single after 5 years. And I got my health to think about, which also depresses me and I don't think any guy deserves that. We'll see, we'll see..

'I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I'm not perfect. Far from, even.. and I'm not sure if I want this undercover job to be another mistake.' Andy told him, a tear fallen slowly falling from her cheek but she quickly wiped it away and looked straight ahead.

Sam wasn't sure where this was going, but a feeling told him she wasn't finished yet, so he decided to remain silent.

'My head tells me; go. You need the change. But my heart is telling me to stay. To stop running. To swallow my pride, admit my mistakes and try to fix them. Not to make them worse.' She sighed deeply and with her hands rubbed against her own arms, trying to keep them warm. 'Every time I run away, things get worse. Running is the worst mistake.. over and over again, that I make… '

'Then stop running Andy.' Sam slowly said, looking how her body shivered from the cold.

'Why do you wanna hear this?' she suddenly spoke up, looking confused in his direction. 'You don't even know what's going on. And besides that, I thought you hated actual conversations about feelings, personal issues and that sort.'

'I never said I hated it..' he slowly spoke. 'I'm just not really good at expressing my feelings. And when I do, I seem to get the timing totally wrong.' He continued with a carefully smile. Thinking back when he finally told Andy he loved her, while she held a friggin' bomb. 'And I really do wanna know what's going on in your life Andy.'

Andy stayed silent for a moment. Thinking how bad she wanted to hold on to him, just cry her eyes out for a while and him making it all better. Never letting go. But he was with Marlo now… Another tear fell down her cheek but Sam stopped it with a gently touch with his hand. She slowly looked up at him, another shiver going over her body. Damn, it was cold. Then she took a better look at him and noticed he was the one only wearing a thin shirt. 'Aren't you cold?' she asked, trying to change the subject.

'I'm bloody freezing.' He admitted with a smile, that quickly faded away. He took her hands while moving in front of her, not one second looking away from her eyes. 'Andy… will you stay?'

She looked at him, confused. 'Why does it matter to you if I stay or not?'

'Everything.' He slowly spoke and while she tried to look down, away from him, he gently pushed her chin up so she would look at him again. 'I'm not good at expressing my feelings, like I said earlier but..' he sighed and looked nervous. 'But here goes.. Andy McNally.. I didn't know you wanted to give us a second chance. I didn't know when you'd come back from being undercover. I thought you moved on. So I tried to do the same, with Marlo.. ' he swallowed and looked at her intensely.

'And I've been living a lie ever since, Andy. The moment I heard your voice when you called me.. what do people say, oh yeah.. my heart skipped a beat. I've never been so afraid in my life. I- I had to find you. No matter what. I thought those guys we're going to kill you. And then when we found you.. and Nick..' he waited a moment, thinking back to that day and then smiled. 'I tried to stay calm, just asking how your trip was, saying it was good to have you back but..' his hands embraced hers a little tighter and rubbing them. Not knowing whose he was trying to keep warm, his or hers.

'The moment I saw you again Andy… I knew. I knew I never got over you and I wanted to grab you, hold you and never let go but I couldn't. And I tried.. I tried to be happy with Marlo, even though you were back but.. I'm not. Truth is.. I want to break things off with her in the morning. 'Cause it's not a lie I'm living, but it's not fair to her. And then I wanted.. I want to show you everyday, everyday for the rest of your life, no matter how long it takes and no matter what I have to do.. that I love you, Andy. And I won't ever let you go.'

'Sam…' Andy's eyes were full of tears and she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sam Swarek, admitting his feelings. To her. He still loved her.

'Andy.. stay?' he brought her hands up and placed a kiss on both of them, then looking up to her again. 'With me?' he finished.

'But, I'm a mess. I screw up about almost everything and never seem to do anything right. ' her face was serious.

'Makes two of us.' He added with a grin. 'But our love for each other is right. We'll fight, have misunderstandings and both screw up from time to time but it doesn't matter Andy. Neither of us is perfect. But we'll get through. You and me. Together. That is, if you still want me..?' suddenly his eyes looked worried, did she still want him after everything that happened? Did she, perhaps, maybe… got feelings for Nick?

She knew she shouldn't. Not before he broke it off with Marlo, but for the first time in forever she didn't want to overthink things anymore. With both her hands she grabbed him by his shirt, pulled him closer and kissed him.

Sam was surprised at first, but quickly deepened the kiss and pulled her even closer with one hand behind her back and the other slowly going through her hair, playing with it.

Andy parted her lips lightly, and Sam immediately took the invitation with this tongue. He had missed this. The passion, the fire they always had. He had missed her, like hell.

After a short moment Andy gently pushed him back a bit but their foreheads stayed in touch, and Sam placed a little kiss on Andy's nose which made her smile. Both still looking at each other's lips, hungry for it, Andy slowly spoke up, still breathing a little heavy after their passionate kiss.

'We'll take it slow this time, alright? Step by step, one day at the time…'

Sam nodded in agreement to that but quickly stole another kiss from her.

Andy laughed, but pushed him away before it escalated again and grabbed her phone.

'What are you doing?' Sam asked, his eyesbrows narrowed in confusion.

She didn't answer him, instead she typed further and after a few moments she gave her phone to Sam, the message already been sent.

Luke,
Sorry but this undercover job was a mistake.
I'm staying.
Andy.

Sam's face went into a wide smile and pulled Andy closer for a hug, when suddenly a very jealous Boo barked behind them. They let go and both smiled at the dog.

'So, Boo huh? Who gave you that idea?' Sam teased Andy and she gave him a push in his ribs.

'I have no idea!' she laughed again, no more sign of any earlier tear she had shed.

They decided to enter the cabin again, looking at the clock hanging there it was already 04:27 A.M.

Sam wished her goodnight, wanted to kiss her goodnight but they both decided that wouldn't be a good idea. For Sam should first break up with Marlo, then they would really take things slow, to make it work and make it last this time.

Andy settled down on the couch again, pulled the blanket up, happy to be inside again. It was really freezing out there. Boo jumped on the couch to and watched over her, while Andy, with a smile on her face, went to a deep sleep.

Sam opened the door to the room of him, Dov and Chris slowly, as quiet as he could and tip-toed into the room. When he was in his bed, he had this big grin on his face and it seemed like it would never go away again.

'So, I take Andy is staying?' the voice of Dov suddenly spoke.

He was startled at first, but he should've known better than to think Andy's friends would sleep easy knowing she could be gone any moment.

'Yes, she stays.' Sam answered finally, much more relaxed than when he left the room hours earlier.

'Good', Chris's voice also came up. 'And don't break her heart again. Or you'll have us to deal with.'

'Good to know, but it won't happen buddy', Sam grinned and he was off to sleep, dreaming of his future. With Andy.

So, had a lot of trouble with this chapter. But I hope it turned out okay.
This was it folks, I wouldn't know how to continue this story properly, so maybe I'll add a short epilogue someday, but that would be it.
