Hey guys! Here's the next chapter! I really gotta say how much I was AMAZED by all the wonderful reviews! I was so used to getting like, 3 review a chapter when I posted in French, and for the last one I've gotten over 20 reviews! WOW! You're just awesome! Thanks a lot! :)
I'm glad that my English isn't that bad, and all your encouragements made me translate a lot faster! Haha! :P So here it is, at a little passed midnight, maybe it won't be as good, seeing how my eyes are closing on their own!
I'll try to update as soon as I can, but even though I'm currently in spring break, I'm working 50 hours a week and trying to fit homework into the mix! (Well… I didn't do much biology and maths tonight since I really wanted to get this chapter out!)
Ohh one last thing! I forgot to tell you that in each chapter I will most likely be playing with the point of views and the genre! So the first one would be more "Angst" and this one is more "Romance". This chapter is also written from Andy's P.O.V so I hope it's not too confusing!
I'm shutting up now so enjoy this new chapter on episode 1x02 : Mercury Retrograde.
You broke some rules. You disobeyed my order. You acted like a cop.
My eyes travelled to the door which had just closed up behind Sam, I wanted so badly to follow him to get the chance to ask the question that was burning my lips since we left the bus station a few hours ago. We had kind of a rough day, between Sam who tried to make me do a fake arrest with a fake warrant, and then having to go and rescue him in Hill's restaurant.
I quickly got up of my seat, deciding in a moment to go find him. I putted my half empty glass on the table and hurried after the man that had just disappeared at the other end of the bar.
I hardly pushed the heavy door, feeling the night air hit me as I got outside. I saw him as he was walking up to his car and I couldn't help myself noticing that he was definitely equally sexy in civil clothes that he was in his police uniform.
He wasn't facing me, going to his car, and I ran for a few seconds before catching up with him.
"Hey", I said once I was close to him.
"Hey" he replied back.
"Hey, um, listen. How do you know Anton Hill is not gonna follow Emily out ouest", I asked him while taking a few steps toward him.
Each time I took a step closer to Sam, he took one backward and I tried coming a bit closer to him, waiting for his answer.
"Huh?" He asked me, raising his eyebrows as if he didn't understand why I was asking him this question.
"Well we put her in a bus to Kelowna. How do you know he's not gonna go there and kill her?" I continued, answering his interrogation.
"Well she didn't go to Kelowna", he said with a crooked smile.
"Oh", I said finally understanding the reason why he didn't seemed so lost at first with the question that I asked him.
"It's not that I don't trust you. It just seems like, uh… the fewer people who know…" he continued after hesitating a moment before admitting that he trusted me even with the fact that I arrested him a few days ago and screwed up all his work .
"Right, yeah. Yeah. You really gave up the whole case for her huh?" I said totally understanding why he didn't tell me where Emily went.
I was somehow a little surprised that Sam gave up his entire investigation for this girl. I had the occasion myself to see that he was really angry to have let Hill get away, I saw him hit his locker and I was treated very differently than Emily was. I had then thought that he was someone who didn't care about others and was only concerned by his needs.
However, I was just starting to see what kind of man he really was. He was the kind that was ready to break all the rules only to protect someone who was dear to him. He even went as far as risking his own life to save Emily's.
"Yeah well… who knows what I gave up. Maybe nothing. Emily's smart that way", he said with a glimmer of tenderness in his eyes.
I couldn't help myself smiling at him, locking eyes with him, waiting a couple more seconds before asking him my next question. He had this way of smiling that always took my breath away. Earlier, I had seen him smile this way to Emily, and I had said to myself that it was really cute. However, now that this smile was sent to me, I definitely felt myself melting from the inside.
Trying to ignore this sensation, I finally decided to ask my second question.
"Where you scared?" I asked, suddenly becoming a little bit more serious while I blurted out the question that was burning my lips since I saw him holding his gun in front of Hill.
A moment when by as he was trying not to look at me, probably deciding what he was going to answer to this question. He finally seemed to have found his answer, and I saw, only for the blink of an eye, a glimmer of fear in his eyes.
"Yeah"' he simply said. "You?"
I looked at him for a few seconds, he seemed so confident when he was in uniform. But right now, in front of me, he was a whole different guy. He suddenly gave me the impression of being a lot more vulnerable that he wanted us to see. He was hiding behind his smile and his jokes, but I really saw that he had been terrified in this restaurant.
"No, I mean, you were there", I said lowering my eyes before admitting that I really felt safe when I was with him.
He looked at me for a minute that seemed to be lasting a whole eternity, and I would've give anything to know what he was thinking at this precise moment. He looked like he didn't know what to do next, and I hold out my hand, offering him a smile.
His eyes plunged into mine as he held my hand a little too long to make it "professionally" acceptable.
"Let me take you home. McNally…"
He said my name in a low husky voice and I couldn't help from shuddering at his tone. His gaze was intense and I had the impression that he was reading in me like in an open book. He got closer to me, still holding my hand, caressing it with the tip of his thumb. I couldn't resist the temptation to approach him while he was still looking at me in this way that made me shiver.
His scent was making my head spin and I lost my train of thoughts as he got even closer to me. We were only at a few inches apart when something finally knocked some sense into me. I closed my eyes for an instant, trying to clear my head as I tried to talk.
"Oh I can't, I can't. I can't do this. I'm sorry. It's just that, it's my first week at work."
I saw a glimpse of sadness going through his eyes as I told him that I couldn't do it. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was in fact far from that, it was only because I knew it wasn't something I could do; kiss my T.O. In fact, it wasn't kissing him that was the problem, it was going out with him, and I knew that this kiss wouldn't be meaningless.
Even if I had spent only one day with Sam, I couldn't deny the attraction that seemed to exist between us, and this kiss would surely mean something more than just a simple lock of lips.
He looked at me and smiled even after I just stopped him from kissing me. His smile made my heart skip a beat and I couldn't help from taking a step in his direction, putting my hand on his chest.
"Sam, maybe in a few months, when you won't be my training officer anymore, but right now, I really got to focus on my job", I said trying to be the more sincere that I could.
"I know, I completely understand, and like I said, you're not my type", he said still smiling right at me.
I didn't get how he was able to be that comprehensive and that he didn't seem to be offended at all at what I just said. However, him saying that I was not his kind made me a little mad; I didn't want to not be his type, and I had rather thought today that I was.
I saw the way he looked at me when he said that I acted like a cop a few hours ago after I saved them, Emily and him. I kept my hand on his chest as I approached him, almost imperceptibly, looking right at his eyes, giving him a smile that I wanted seductive.
His eyes went down to my lips before coming back up to mine and I felt him shudder against me as I ran my teeth gently on my lower lip.
"Oh really? I'm not you're type", I said while moving my hand up to his neck.
"No", he breathed out.
I moved my hand further up, from his neck to his cheek, slowly caressing his skin with the tip of my fingers, still bringing my face closer his.
"And what is your type?" I said, so close to him that I could now feel his breath on my skin.
"I don't know", he finally said as I tangled my fingers in his dark hair. "But I kinda get the impression that you're sending me mix signals here McNally, it would really help me if you just told me what you want" he continued in a voice so low that I was sure that even if there had been someone else in the parking he wouldn't have heard him.
"I just want to know if you're going to wait for me, because I can't really kiss my T.O, but my colleague, that's a whole other story", I said after a moment, answering the question that his sentence was implying.
He slowly nodded as I got even closer to him, brushing my nose against his, my fingers still playing with his hair.
"Oh, then it depends officer", he said, joking again.
"It depends on what?" I asked him as soon as he said it, wondering where he was going with this one.
"On if the kiss is really worth it", he said with a crooked smile, putting his right hand on my waist, keeping me close to his body.
I was so close to him that I could almost taste his lips on mine and I took a moment considering the space between us before finally deciding what to do.
Moving my eyes one last time from his eyes to his lips, I erased the last inches that were standing between me and him and I put my mouth on his really slightly.
He seemed to remain motionless for a few seconds while I slipped my second hand in his hair very gently, keeping my whole body against his without however deepening the kiss. My lips moved slowly on his as he finally met with me just as tenderly.
It wasn't a really passionate kiss and he acted like he had understood that I only wanted to give him a taste of what I would reserve him if he was willing to wait for me. Still playing in his hair with the tip of my fingers, I slowly ran my tongue along his upper lip, taking care to not go too fast, keeping the kiss very soft.
His hand slipped behind my neck while he answered my embrace, taking care not to cross the limit that I had posed. A delightful warmth invaded me gradually while he showed me with his lips how he could be affectionate and caring. I wanted less and less to push by a few months the next time that I would feel like that.
I would've just wanted to re-experience this moment again and again every day. But I sadly knew that it was going to be impossible, I was however hoping that he would wait for me and that he would still be there when we could be able to kiss without breaking the rules.
I tasted his lips for one more time before taking a step back, lowering my forehead against his, breathing deeply while closing my eyes. His hands fell off close to his body and I took myself back too, taking another step back before looking at him.
He was smiling softly at me, just like I've seen him smile to Emily in the afternoon, and I smiled back.
"After this kiss, I think it's definitely worth the wait, McNally", he said taking a step toward his car.
"I'm completely with you on this one", I answered.
"See you tomorrow partner", he said while opening the front door before entering and closing it.
The car started and he quickly drove out of the parking lot, letting me alone in the light breeze of this spring night. I ran my hands through my hair, finally deciding to go join my friends inside.
Nevertheless, even when Traci was relating me the last adventures of his son Leo, I couldn't help thinking about Sam and about this kiss that had made me seen only a glimpse of what it would really feel like to be with him…
