Prompt: Boo Radley.
(Prompt from keatontoney [Tumblr])

She rolled her neck, closing her eyes and for a moment blocking out the loud noise of her fellow officer's as they made their way around the division and kept on with their conversations. She'd been sitting at the front desk for an hour since the last civilian had entered requesting help, and was watching the clock desperately for it to signal that her shift was over and that she could leave.

Andy McNally could rightfully say that in all of her career she had never been so anxious to go home after her shift. But never in all of her career had the term 'going home' meant to a house under Detective Sam Swarek's name that currently also was home to his niece, nephew and sister who had come down to visit for the long weekend.

The same long weekend that she did not have off. Which left her hoping that she'd actually get to spend time with the three people that had come to mean so much to her in the four months that she'd been dating the detective.

"Officer McNally, working hard or hardly working?" a voice questioned her with a chuckle, bringing small smile to her face as she opened her eyes and turned to greet them.
"Oh working hard, Detective Swarek. Especially seeing as my partner doesn't work all that much lately," she smirked, crossing her arms on the top of the desk and resting her chin on it.
"Sounds like a perfect gentlemen."
"When he wants to be."

The man in front of her kept one hand behind his back as he leant forward to kiss her. His hand moved to cup her cheek and a blush began rising on her cheeks as Oliver Shaw let out a rather loud whistle in their direction.

"If Frank catches you here he'll give you paperwork to do," Andy murmured against his lips before standing up straight behind the desk.
"We promised to babysit Olivia next weekend," Sam reminded her, "He wouldn't make us want to change our minds."

With a shake of her head, she glanced at the clock once more and groaned when she saw there was still twenty minutes left of her shift. She could feel him watching her as she begun to tidy up what she could before she stopped and turned to look at him with a frown.

"Yes McNally?"
"What are you doing here? I though you and Sarah took the kids to the fair down the street from your place."
"Oh," he smiled, dimples growing on both of his cheeks, "I was just taking your dog for a walk and I was in the neighborhood."
"Sam, I don't have a dog."

Her eyebrows creased as he slowly lifted his arm to produce a stuffed toy shaped like a small Golden Retriever. When he placed it on the top of the desk, her eyes narrowed and she looked between the toy and him.

"Meet Boo Radley."
"You're joking."
"I'm not."
"You're joking."
"If I told you Sarah bought it because I may have let slip about the whole dog thing will it make this seem a little bit more romantic?" Sam questioned, "Or will that kill the mood, because I was hoping not. We do have the house to ourselves tonight because Sarah was going to take the kids to this fireworks show thing that doesn't start until about midnight. And I think she was planning on crashing at yours tonight, something about you just coming off a really long rotation and needing time to sleep."
Her eyes widened at what he was implying, "Oh you're impossible."

She watched him as he chuckled and smirked at her reaction. With a shake of his head he told her that he'll be outside in the truck and he'll give her a ride home when her shift was over, leaving her standing behind the desk with wide eyes and a shocked expression on her face.

After taking a moment to recover she glanced at the clock once more, taking note of the time before she reached a snatched the toy off the top of the desk, holding it tightly to her chest and dropping back into the desk chair behind her.

"He's impossible Boo," she murmured to the toy, "God damn impossible."

…

When I first started writing this I was actually going to get him to show up with a real dog. But that seemed like over-kill and she would have noticed it. So cute stuff toy that she will probably never throw out was the next option (then there was those balloon dogs but that felt uber tacky.)

Thank you!

All mistakes are mine.

Review?

Next Prompt: Coffee.
Sam Swarek never bought coffee for anyone. And when he did, it was because it was the free sludge they provided in the break room. That man must have though he was fooling everyone when he brought that second coffee into work, because he was fooling no one.
