Chapter 5

After the difficult phone conversation, Sharon and Andy were a little more relaxed. Andy was hoping that at least this time they can fix their relationship. Sharon was excited as she was about to see Andy nearly a month later. He missed her and she couldn't wait to hug him. As to deny despite, all this terrible pain, his only consolation was Sharon as always. This time he was ready to do everything possible to fix their relationship. After about an hour until the whole team worked hard, Sharon and Andy met at the same place where they were promised that they would always be together. Seeing Sharon again before him, Andy almost fainted with excitement. Without saying a word, Sharon embraced him tightly and wept on his shoulder. Andy also wept - perhaps for the first time. And perhaps only now, they could understand how strong is the love between them. This separation was like death.

"Sharon, look at me. Are you all right?" he asked anxiously stroking her face and wiping her tears. Sharon nodded and smiled softly.

"I've been better. Andy, everything without you makes no sense. You are the meaning of my life. I can't live without you. It was a mistake to ask your leave from Chief Johnson. Forgive me." she said apologetically. Andy shushed softly and kissed her gently on the forehead, then looked into her green eyes lovingly.

"Stop apologizing Sharon. I am also guilty. But I can't hide the fact that I love you with all my heart. I'm sorry for everything." he said sadly. Sharon took a deep breath and squeezed his shoulder.

"Andy, forgive me. I am sorry too. Forgive me." she said softly several times. Andy again took her in his arms, holding her close to his body. Sharon cuddled in him tightly and closed her eyes for a moment. She didn't want this beautiful moment to end. She loved Andy Flynn as he her and whatever happens, the love between them was quite strong. After they'd wept together, they went to work, as Sharon wanted Andy to return to work immediately. Andy, however, didn't think that this decision is good. However, he was back in LA today. But Sharon insisted firmly, saying that she can't work without him. On the other hand, the whole team was happy with the fact that Lieutenant Flynn returns to work. Especially Provenza and Chief Johnson, as they already knew that Sharon and Andy have a relationship. They could see that they both are happy together, despite the bad days so far. Sharon believed that they could be happy again as before. Now Sharon sat at her desk and seeing Andy against her, she felt more relaxed than ever. That afternoon, Chief Johnson called Sharon in her office. Sharon quickly grabbed some folders in her hand and walked to the office, but Andy stood before her.

"Andy, what's the problem?" she asked, confused. Andy looked around carefully.

"Sharon, are you okay?" he asked worriedly and squeezed her hand. Sharon smiled and nodded slightly.

"Once you're here, it's okay." she assured. Andy sighed with relief and nodded slightly. Though still he was worried about her.

"Sorry for the stupid question, I just worry about you. We've been through terrible days." he said apologetically. Sharon bit her lip and smiled softly, then walked into Chief's office. Andy shook his head and returned to his desk. Provenza gave him a quick glance.

"Hey, Flynn, you must be very happy. You get back to work again and you're happy with the captain." he remarked with a slight smile. Andy sighed and smiled.

"Definitely Provenza. Perhaps only now I can understand how empty was my life without Sharon. I love her with all my heart." Andy admitted. Provenza nodded slightly.

"It's a little strange since you were just enemies. I can't believe that this happened between you and our capricious Captain Raydor. But Flynn, remember one important fact. She's still married. This can create a problem." Provenza noted thoughtfully. Andy shrugged.

"Provenza, she was never happy with Jack Raydor. She was constantly telling me that I am the only man who can make her be happy. Whatever happens, I'll always be with her. Besides, she'll soon divorce with him. I think that this is not my biggest problem. Maybe before that, we have to talk about our relationship to our children. " Andy said firmly. Meanwhile, Chief Johnson had a conversation with Sharon.

"Sharon, I feel happy for you and Flynn. However, your relationship was a huge surprise for me. But I can see that you two are really happy. I hope that all will continue the same way." Brenda said with a smile and squeezed her shoulder. Sharon smiled contentedly.

"I hope chief. When I'm with Andy all makes sense, as if my life becomes more colorful. I feel that we belong together. My only problem is my husband Jack. But I already handed divorce papers. I hope that soon I'll be free and I can be happy with Andy. " she said firmly.

"I hope Captain." Brenda said quietly. Sharon still wasn't sure what happened between her and Flynn, but she didn't want Jack to be an obstacle between them. She was anxious to be free. In the evening, Sharon and Andy were in the murder room. The team had just revealed the last case. When the two were alone, Andy decided to talk to her about Jack Raydor, which would soon to be a problem between them.

"Hey, Sharon, today I talked to Provenza and he told me something that made me think. He told me that the fact that you're still married can create a big problem in our relationship." he said sadly and put his hands in his pockets. Sharon shook her head.

"Andy, don't worry about it. I've already handed divorce papers and I hope that I'll soon be free. The only thing I want is to be with you." she admitted while Andy kissed her gently on the lips and stroked her face, looking into her green eyes lovingly.

"I love you, Sharon." he said softly and snuggled in her silky hair, hugging her tightly. Sharon wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes for a moment. She loved those quiet moments between her and Andy. In his arms... Several hours later, Sharon came home and seeing the light in the living room, she was surprised. She immediately threw the keys and saw Jack, who was sleeping on the couch.

"Jack, what are you doing here? How do you have a key to my apartment?" she asked angrily. Jack was drunk as usual. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Sharon, believe me. There was nowhere to go. Can I at least stay here tonight?" He looked at her pleadingly. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe that Jack is here. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Andy.

"Oh, Andy." she gasped as if in surprise.

"Sharon, what's happening? Why are you so surprised?" he asked, confused.

"Sharon, where's the wine?" Jack cried. Hearing this male voice, Andy almost fainted from shock.

"Sharon, who is this man? You have dinner with a man?" he asked angrily.

"Andy, calm down. Let me explain." Sharon tried to explain, but Andy didn't want to hear. He was beginning to think that in her life there is another man and that she was lying again.

"I can't believe that in your life you have another man and you're lying to me this way!" Andy shouted furiously. Sharon looked at Jack angrily.

"Andy, I want to tell you. It's Jack and..."

"What? You're again with Jack and you lie to me? '"

"Andy, stop talking nonsense! He's here because ... '"

"Stop, Sharon, I don't want to listen. It's over! I don't want to talk more with you!" he interrupted her fiercely and hung up. Sharon couldn't believe that Andy leave her that way, without even allowing her to explain the awkward situation ...
