Chapter 13
Sam opened the door and Luke stared at him.
„Oh hell no!" and shut the door.
„Come on Swarek, open up" he heard him through the door.
„Fuck off, Callaghan" he stood, holding his fingers at the bridge of his nose, hoping he would leave.
„I need to talk to her" he slurred his words.
„You are drunk, go home" Sam heard him laugh.
„I'm not drunk" he heard him stumble and maybe fall.
Sam stood there not sure what to do. He took his phone and called Oliver.
„Long night Sammy?"
„Something like that. You working?"
„Yeah, on the streets, near you actually"
„I have a drunk Callaghan at my door step. Could you work your magic."
„Mm.."
„I will buy you lunch"
„Sure, I'll be there in four minutes."
„Thanks, man"
Luke was mumbling something, but Sam was too pissed off to even care.
„Is that Luke?" Andy was just wearing a longer light blue shirt, leaving her long tanned legs naked.
Sam sighed „Yes"
„What is he doing here?" she frowned
„He wants to talk to you?"
„I made pretty clear to him, not to contact me."
„Oliver is coming to pick him up"
„Okay" Andy started to walk to him.
„Wait, wait..." he ran to her and picked her up.
„There is glass on the floor" he explained
Her arms were around his neck. „Well thank you Officer for saving me"
He grinned „No problem, just doing my job" he said walking to the couch.
„Well if you ask me, you are really good at it"
„Thank you. Were would you like to be put down?" he grinned
„I would say on your bed, but I'm kind of liking being right here" she kissed him softly.
Then she gasped „Put me down"
He was confused, but he put her down.
„Your wound..." she raised his shirt and tried to look under the bandage,
„Does it hurt?"
„Not more than usual"
She looked worried.
„It's almost nothing. Really." he reassured her
She looked relived and smiled.
„I would say stop worrying, but I know you better"
She smiled wanting to continue what they started. They heard a car park in front of the house. Sam looked at her, as she sat on the couch.
„I'll take care of this"
He opened the door and saw Luke drinking last drop from his bottle.
„Oh.. Swarek. You missed the party"
Sam waved to Oliver and helped Luke up. He started to move inside, but Sam closed the door.
„No, no, no...I need to see her" Luke leaned on the door
Oliver pulled him back.
„Hey buddy, let's call her tomorrow. She is sleeping"
„What? She is?"
Sam nodded.
„Keep it down then" he started to whisper.
„What happened to your nose, man" Oliver checked his face.
„Nothing" he studied himself pushing away Oliver's and Sam's help.
„I'm good, I'll get in the car" Luke wobbled in the car's direction.
Oliver turned to Sam „Frank told me that you are coming back to work in a few days."
„Yeah, I'll get the okay from the doctor tomorrow"
„So" he kept looking at the door „How is McNally"
Sam smirked „None of your business"
„Come on Sammy!"
The door opened and they both turned to see her.
„Sam?"
„Hello McNally" Oliver looked down „McNally's legs"
Andy forgot that she wasn't wearing any pants. Her face went red and she tried to hide herself behind the door.
„Hi, I'm just going to go back..." she looked at Sam letting him know that they had some unfinished business.
Sam patted him on the shoulder „Thanks, man. I got to go"
„What did that look meant?"
Sam was at the door grinning „It means that you won the bet"
„Yeah, Sammy!" he threw his hands in the air „In your face Barber!" he took his phone "I have to call him right now"
„Give my winnings to Jerry" Sam added
Oliver waived him off and started a loud, cheering conversation with Jerry.
Sam laughed and closed the door.
Andy was cleaning the floor from glass. Her hair was a bit messy and you could see her black bra through the light blue shirt. She was on her knees trying to get little pieces of glass off the carpet. When she reached forward on her hands, to put these pieces in the trash can, her shirt moved so you could see her black underwear. Exposing her legs at full length.
Sam was mesmerized by this. At this moment it hit him, how much he really loved her. Every part of her. There is nothing not to love about her. She looked up and smiled when she saw him staring.
„I'm almost done" she pulled her hair back and continued cleaning.
„Did you broke Callaghan's nose?"
„I kneed him in the crotch, pushed him and then broke his nose" She flashed a smile
Sam laughed remembering the line. He was now more than sure, that she is going to be his, for the rest of his life. There is nothing and no one who could keep him away from her.
Sam then helped Andy clean up and after they both walked to the bedroom. It was late so they just kissed good night for few minutes and promised to continue tomorrow.
When Andy went to work Sam decided to make some changes in the house. He made some room in his closet, installed an extra shelf in the bathroom and emptied some drawers. Sam made some changes in the hallway too. Got rid of the pointless shit and replaced the small mirror with a full length mirror and a lamp, that was in the guest room before. Also adding a little more space were she could keep her make up. Knowing Andy likes sunlight, he removed the dark curtains in his bedroom and left the white see-through ones stay. He also went to the store to get some groceries and flowers for Andy's nightstand.
Sam's doctors appointment was in a few hours and Andy promised to come home and change before they went together. He thought about putting all her stuff into his room himself, but wasn't sure if he should snoop around her things like that. Finally he just went to her room and started collecting her things to bring back to his bedroom. Their bedroom.
„Sam?" Andy walked through the door. „I'll take a quick shower, then we can go"
„Okay" he responded
Andy ran to her room, when she was there she saw that it was empty. Most of her stuff was gone. She was confused for a second but a wide smile appeared to her face. Andy went to Sam's bedroom. She couldn't believe her eyes.
„Do you like it?" Sam was standing behind her resting his hands on her waist.
„It looks so different"
The bedroom was bright and Sam had even put new bed sheets, what Sarah had bought for him long time ago and he tossed them far away in the closet. She was surprised how well her things suited with his.
„So you know that you belong here" he wrapped his arms around her.
Andy was still smiling „I love it!" she turned and kissed him. Andy meant to kiss him quickly, but the kiss deepened. When they parted to get some air, Andy took a step back.
„I have to shower.. and then we have to go" she said that but her hands and eyes were still locked on him.
Sam chuckled and kissed her softly on the lips. „Go..."
After visiting the doctor, Andy had to go back to finish her shift, while Sam went along to give some papers to Frank and talk about coming back to work. They walked in and walked in different directions. When Andy turned Jerry was there with Traci.
„How was at the doctors appointment" Traci asked.
„Good, he went to talk to Frank... about coming back to work."
„That's great!" Traci smiled and stared at Andy.
„What?" she then realized, turning to Jerry little amused „Oh... Sorry about the bet Jerry, did Oliver give you Sam's cut."
„After laughing at me through the phone in the middle of the night, yes he did" Jerry looked annoyed, but then smiled widely „But don't worry, we are having a poker night tomorrow. I'm going to win back my cut and then his."
Oliver walked in eating a sandwich „Don't be so sure buddy, remember what happened last time you said that" he took another bite „You lost" grinning at him.
Traci laughed and pulled Andy away.
„So are you together now?"
Andy smiled „Yes"
„So this is actually happening..." Traci was happy for her.
„You have no idea what he did to his room..." she beamed with happiness.
The walked together, Andy telling her everything.
Andy was almost finished with changing into her uniform, when Sam walked in.
„I talked to Frank and he said I can come to work tomorrow."
„That's great" Andy smiled.
„I'm behind a desk for a week, but it's better then nothing."
Andy grinned coming closer „Does that mean that we can make out while working?"
Sam chuckled „I hope so, but when our situation interferes work, Frank will break us up"
„You talked about it with him?"
„He brought it up..." he explained „and also Luke transferred."
„Good"
„Don't you want to know where or why?"
„No" she frowned and laughed „It seems like you and Luke have something going on. You keep talking about him. Should I be worried" she mocked him.
„Very funny" but Sam was more than happy that she was so indifferent about him. There was nobody between them now.
„I have to go back to work, are you staying or are you picking me up later? Because I can get a ride with Traci."
„I'll go home right now, and after your shift let's meet at the Penny" he offered his idea.
„Sounds good" she kissed him softly „See you there."
They were having a great time at the Penny. Both of them hadn't have much time to hang out with their friends. They weren't sure if they should let everybody know that they are together, but knowing Oliver, everyone probably already knew. But they still stayed with their own friends.
When Andy stood up and went to the bathroom, Sam followed her with his eyes. Knowing he would do that she looked back and smiled to Sam. He laughed, finished his drink and walked over to the bathrooms, waiting for Andy to come out.
„Are you stalking me" Andy joked walking out and stopping in front of Sam.
„Only when you are wearing these jeans" Sam checked her out again and Andy blushed.
„You know what, you haven't bought me a drink" she played with her hair „Do I have to flirt with you like that bartender?" she tried copy what the bartender did.
Sam laughed „So you noticed..."
„Of course I did, I was ready to come over. Turns out you are not the only one with jealousy issues." Andy looked around and Sam touched her chin raising it so he could look into her eyes. When she did, he dropped his hand and stood really close to Andy. He had a smug on his face.
„If I was a nice guy I would ask you to go out with me, like on a real date. Buy you dinner and take a romantic walk in the city." he moved a piece of her hair out of her eyes „But there's a problem"
She snorted „You're not a nice guy"
„With you, I'm always the nice guy" he was a little serious so Andy would now that it is true.
„So what's the problem?"
He paused to stare at her eyes „Every time I see you I want to be close to you, when I'm close to you I need to kiss you and when I kiss you..." he moved closer „I can't stop."
There was silence for a minute when they were intoxicated by each other.
„I have the same problem..." Andy admitted and Sam raised an eyebrow.
„Every time I see you I want to take your clothes off" she looked at his chest and traced her finger from his chest to his belt buckle.
When Andy looked back up. The intensity and wanting, that came from his eyes, made her part her lips a little. She felt every part of her, wanting to collide with his. He was sure she could hear his heart beat, because it was going to come out of his chest. He closed his eyes to collect himself and half grinned.
„This is really dangerous"
Andy cleared her throat „The drive home is going to be dangerous"
They stood there a little longer, taking each other in.
„You're right" he finally said „We should go." he held his hand out and Andy smiled, putting her hand into his hand.
They walked out of the Penny still holding hands, for everybody to see that they were together.
