Chapter 22
Thursday night Andy found herself up in their room watching a movie while Sam, Jerry, Frank and Oliver were down stairs playing poker.
Flashback
"Poker buddy my place tomorrow night?" Sam said as he popped his head into Jerry's office.
"Uh, the misses letting you host?" Jerry said chuckling
"Are you coming or not?" Sam asked in an annoyed tone.
"Who else will be there?" Jerry questioned without looking up from his file.
"Ollie, Frank and you if you come only a small one" Sam replied.
"Uh yeah I'll be there, with less people it's less likely for me to lose my money" Jerry said smiling at Sam
"Buddy I'm still going to take your money, it doesn't matter if it's four people or forty people" Sam smirked.
"Whatever" Jerry mumbled.
"Right I'll see you tomorrow night 7pm" Sam said walking out of the office.
End of Flashback
She decided to go and get some popcorn before the next movie started. She quietly walked down and paused at the bottom of the stairs when she heard Sam talking.
"Never going to happen Ollie" Sam said as he chuckled.
"Oh come on man, you and I both know you and Andy are it, you going to get married have kids the whole nine yards." Oliver smirked as he threw in a couple of chips into the pot.
"Yeah my man, I have to agree with Oliver on this one buddy, you're practically a married man just without the papers and rings." Jerry and Oliver both laughed.
Andy stood there at the bottom of the stairs and smiled at what both Jerry and Oliver had said.
"So when are you going to do it? when are you going to make an honest women out of her?" Oliver questioned.
Andy softly chuckled at Oliver.
Sam shook his head.
"Oh know his right man, he needs a ring first" Jerry said looking at Oliver then they both looked at Sam.
Sam just threw in his chips and said "Can we just play, seriously guys"
"You know you can always get Nash or Sarah to help you pick a ring" Jerry said as he showed his hand holding a little straight.
"No, I don't need any of that because I'm not going to do that. Andy and I are fine where we are why do we need to go and screw it up I mean look at you Jerry divorced and Oliver your separated from Zoe, Marriage just stuffs everything up so I don't need or want it" Sam said laying his cards down showing his hand of four ace's.
"Ok, but you and Andy are different, so different for Miranda and I, I mean you love Andy and she loves you" Jerry said.
"Look can we just forget this either we're playing or you guys can go" Sam said annoyed.
Andy wiped her tears from her eyes as she walked up the stairs back into the bedroom and locking the door. She curled under her blanket and forced her eyes to close and sleep to come.
"Hey" Sam said as Andy walked down the stair fully dressed and ready for work.
"Hi" Andy replied quietly as she walked over to pour herself a cup of coffee.
"We weren't too loud last night were we? I mean we tried to keep it down" Sam said smiling walking over to Andy.
"Nope I barely heard you" Andy replied as she walked out of Sam's way.
"Hey, is everything ok?" Sam asked.
"Yep, we should get going or will be late for parade." Andy said without looking back at Sam as she picked up her bag and headed for the door.
"Ohk" Sam said slowly following Andy.
"Buddy, how do you look so happy right now" Oliver groaned as he looked over at Jerry who was standing with Sam.
"Had a good sleep." Jerry smirked.
"Right, you know I would have thought you would have been happier this morning to buddy, what was McNally asleep?" Oliver joked looking at Sam.
"Funny" Sam mumbled as he watched Andy turn back to look at him and quickly look away. Sam frowned not knowing what was going on with them.
"Serve, protect and yeah, complete the paper work" Best said as he walked away from the podium.
Andy leant over to whisper into Traci's ear "Hey Traci, you need a hand with anything today?"
"Uh… I don't think so why you stuck with Gail today?" Traci asked looking back at Andy.
Andy shook her head. "No I'm paired with Sam I just wanted…"
"What trouble in paradise?" Traci chuckled but then stopped when she seen the look on Andy's face.
"Oh trouble in paradise, what happened?" Traci whispered back.
"Nothing don't worry about it" Andy mumbled.
"Andy you know you can talk to me." Traci said.
"I know just not here" Andy said averting her gaze to Sam.
"Right, um you know come to think of it I could use a hand with this case" Traci smiled softly.
Sam watched as Traci and Andy continued to talk as he slowly approached them with two coffees in his hand.
"Hey, coffee" Sam said just as the girl stood up from their chairs. Sam handed the coffee to Andy.
"Ah thanks" Andy mumbled.
Sam just smiled softly as he asked "Are you ready to head out?"
"Actually Traci needs a hand with a case so I'll be with her today" Andy said as she slipped by Sam and head for the detectives office.
Sam just stood there with a confused look on his face, as he watched Andy walked away.
"So you want to tell me what's going on with you and Sam? I mean one minute you're all over each other and then he next your barely talking to him." Traci asked.
"I… ok so last night the guys came over for poker and I didn't want to get in the way so I stayed up in our room which was fine I told Sam it would be fine and go have fun" Andy began.
"Ok? So what's the problem?"
"So I came down stairs to get a drink and I stop when I heard Oliver and Jerry talking about Sam and I taking the next step"
Traci nodded as encouragement to continue.
"Anyway Oliver asked when is he going to man up and ask me to marry him and Sam replied that it wasn't going to happen"
"Are you sure that's what he said?"
"Well no actually I think the actually words were 'Andy and I are fine where we are why do we need to go and screw it up, Marriage just stuffs everything up so I don't need or want it'" Andy replied.
"Andy, maybe he didn't mean it" Traci suggested.
"Why would he say it if he didn't mean it, I mean I want to know what's changed three months?"
Traci was about to speak when Andy continued.
"Three months ago when we were picking our house we were talking about marriage and kids and Sam seamed ok with it and then three weeks ago when we were looking after Sarah's kids Sam pretty much said he wants kids but wants to be married first and he began to say something and then Issie interrupted him."
Traci just sat there and listened knowing that Andy hadn't finished talking yet.
"I mean why would he say one thing if he means another I'm so confused Traci, honestly why? What is he doing? Why is he just string this on if he doesn't see us going anywhere?" Andy ended with tears in her eyes.
Traci moved to sit next to Andy placing her arm around her shoulders trying to comfort her. Andy sniffled as she wiped her tears away.
"Andy I know you want answers your question, but I don't have them." Traci spoke softly.
"What kind of advice is that?" Andy asked moving away from Traci smirking.
Traci chuckled "Oh you want advice that I can help you with, you want answers to your questions you're talking to the wrong person, my advice is to talk to Sam it's the only way you're going to get the answers you want." Traci said looking at Andy.
Andy sighed knowing Traci was right.
Andy had her head berried in paperwork when her phone beeped.
Hey, pick you up for lunch?
Andy sighed looking at the message from Sam she quickly replied.
Already ate, too much paperwork anyway
Sam was beginning to get frustrated when he read Andy's reply.
Is everything ok?
Andy bit her lip as she replied
Yep. Everything's fine
Sam shook his head as he tossed his phone onto the sit next to him. Sam started the cruiser knowing that everything was far from fine.
