Sharon woke up to the sound of Andy snoring in her ear, along with his warm breath fanning the hairs on the back of her neck. His large warm body pressed up against her back, his arm resting around her waist securing her against his chest. She couldn't help the smile that grew across her lips, it felt delightful to have his body against hers, it felt safe being in his embrace. Laying there quietly in his arms listening to him snore. It was a pleasant way to spend the early morning. She heard his breathing change, as one of his legs draped over hers, pulling her tighter against his chest leaving no space in between. His arm that was wrapped around her waist moved up. So the back of his hand rested against her left breast. As he buried his face further into her neck, his lips ghostly touching the space between her neck and shoulder as he inhaled her scent and grunted.
She laid still listening to his breathing shallowing out, followed by his soft snoring in her ear again. Slowly releasing her breath as she felt his morning wood poking her buttock. Her chest expanding making her left breast touch against the back of his hand. The warmth of his hand caused her nipple to elect and started scattering the butterflies that laid dormant to flutter in her stomach wildly. Closing her eyes tightly as she moaned out load, remembering she was only wearing her purple silk robe.
Andy woke up right away removing his body from hers, sitting up. "Sharon, are you okay? Did...did I hurt you? I'm so, so sorry." He blurted out in a sleepy voice, his hand touching the back of her shoulder.
Sharon rolled onto her back, turning her head to look over at him. Blush creeping along her cheeks and traveling down her neck to her chest. Thank goodness it was still dark and the only light coming in was from the full moon casting its ray of light in her bedroom. She smiled as she eyes adjusted and took in his sleepy appearance. "No...no Andy, you didn't hurt me. I'm so sorry for waking you up."
Andy rubbed his eyes then looked over at her. "But I heard you moan, are you in pain?" Moving her sheets aside and got out of bed heading towards her bathroom.
Sharon sat up and stopped him before he was out of her room. "Andy, wait!" Watching him as he turned around looking at her confused. "I'm not in pain, actually I feel wonderful, thanks to you." Feeling embarrassed she looks down at her hands that were in her lap.
Andy stood in her doorway, which seemed like hours as he processed her words. He moved his eyes to focus on her and how beautiful she looked even with Jack's angry hand prints around her throat and the stitches along her left brow. He enjoyed looking at her when she was embarrass. The way her fingers nervously played with her silk tie on her robe. His eyes moving up along her bruised body as the pinkness on her chest that crept up along to her cheeks. He shyly smiled as Sharon's looked up at him, smiling nervously back at him as she watched his eyes darken from just looking at her bruised body. God it felt good to be admired.
Andy walked back towards her and sat down on the bed, scooting next to her watching as she still played with her silk tie. He placed one of his hands under her chin, lifting it up, moving her face so she would look at him. The way she looked back at him made his heart flutter as she was nervously biting her lower lip. Using his other hand he placed it over hers, to stop her from fidgeting. "You know your beautiful when you do that?" He said with a smile on his face, gliding his thumb across her lower lip.
Sharon's teeth let go of her bottom lip, enjoying the sensation that his callous thumb felt along her lower lip. She nervously smile back at him, blinking her eyes rapidly to hold back her tears. It's been a long time since a man looked at her like that; let alone say she was beautiful. She turned both of her hands over that were in her lap, intertwining their fingers, smiling as she whispered. "Andy."
Andy watched her blink back a few tears, he moved the palm of his hand up on her cheek as her first tear ran down, wiping it away, but being followed by more. "Come here." Pulling her down with him, wrapping them both up in her bed sheets. Sharon snuggled closer to Andy, enjoy the heat that radiated from his body warming her up. Both closing their eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

- 2 Weeks Later -
Sharon has been on her own for 2 weeks now. She just finished her last session with her physical therapist. Tomorrow she would go see her psychologist. Before she can go back to and perform her duties. She would also have to go to the gun range to get her firearm back. Sitting in the waiting room for Dr. Klaus to see her. Skimming through a health magazine, her attention focused on an article about dating after a messy divorce. Sharon was so engrossed she didn't hear Harriet call her name three times. Till Sharon felt a hand being placed on her shoulder, surprising Sharon. She gasped before she looked up at Harriet.
"I'm sorry Sharon, I didn't mean to startle you." Said Harriet in a soothing apologetic tone, removing her hand from Sharon's shoulder.
"Oh it's okay Harriet, it's my fault I was so buried in this article." Raising the magazine up. "Is Dr. Klaus ready for me?" Asked Sharon, while closing up the magazine and placing it back on the waiting room table.
Harriet nodded her head, smiling at Sharon as she stood up. "Yes Sharon, please follow me." Guiding her through the double doors and down the hall to his office. Harriet pushes the door open further walking in and pointing towards the large padded brown love seat. "Dr. Klaus will be with you shortly Sharon." She says with a smile as she closes the door.
Sharon sat there looking around his office, confident this will hopefully be her last session and a step closer to getting back to work. Sharon was getting stir crazy being home all the time, she craved being back at work and helping fellow officers, even if they hated her for it. Sharon sat back with her fingers in her lap looking around his office, admiring the plaques that hung on the wall of all of his accomplishments. She hears the door open and smiles as Dr. Klaus walks in with his notebook in hand.
"Good afternoon Sharon. How are you doing today?" He asked as sat down across from her.
"Good afternoon Pete. Honestly I'm going stir crazy being home all time, I miss my job, I miss my team, and I just miss being busy." Sharon said with a sad smile.
Mr. Klaus nods his head as his hands lay over his notebook. He grins at Sharon the replies. "Well Ms. Raydor I have good news than. You have improved and I have to say I'm very impressed. What you went through you have handle it very well." He smiled again as Sharon's face lightens up. "So, I have Harriet printing out your paperwork." He stood up and stuck out his hand towards hers.
Sharon couldn't stop the smile that grew on her lips, that traveled to her eyes and through her entire body. She was going back to doing what she loved. "Thank you Pete, for everything." Shaking his hand.
"No problem Ms. Raydor, and please don't over due yourself at work, alright?" As he let go of her hand, raising his left eyebrow at her.
"I won't Doctor." She smiled at him.
"If you ever need to talk, you have my number, so call me anytime." As they walked towards his door. Opening the door for her and followed Sharon to the front desk.
"I will, thank you." Sharon replies as they arrived at the front desk, they waited for Harriet to show up. Seconds later a smiling Harriet shows up and gives Sharon her paperwork.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After leaving the doctor office she headed towards PAB, to give Chief Pope her paperwork and hopefully with his approval go to the run range so she can return to work Monday morning. Sharon was about to pull into the garage when her heart started pounding rapidly, her palms and forehead became sweaty, she tried controlling her breathing but as she pulled in more she had to stop her car trying to control her breathing. Sharon screams when someone knocks on her window. Looking up and seeing it was Andy, he watches as she puts her car in park and he opens her door kneeling next to her.
"I'm sorry Sharon, I didn't mean to scare. Are you okay?" He asked calmly, his hand moved onto of hers that was gripping her steering wheel tightly. He watches Sharon as she was struggling to control her breathing. "Sharon." He said about three times then finally using her rank she snapped out of it.
Sharon looks over at Andy, giving him a small smile. "Andy." She whispers.
He could see the fear in her eyes, watching as her eyes traveled along the parked cars then stops on her parking spot. It hit him why she was having a panic attack. He glides his thumb along her white knuckles moving closer to her whispering in her ear. "Sharon, Honey Jackson can't hurt you anymore. Okay, you are safe now, you hear me? You are safe." His waits to see any change in her breathing. He starts to grin as she starts to calm down, loosening her grip on the steering wheel.
She lowers her head feeling defeated, tears filling her eyes. She thought she was ready to return to work, but once she pulled into the garage it was hard to gain control over her fears and with the flashbacks from that night taking over her. She hums as she feels Andy's fingers lift her head up, her teary eyes looking back at him. His chocolate brown eyes looking at her and his smile calming helping her down more as his spoke softly to her and his other hand took ahold of hers.
"Let me drive." He said, helping her out of her car and opening the back passenger door.
Sharon just sat in the backseat watching Andy pull into her spot and turning off her car. Watching as he leans to the passenger seat grabbing her purse, then opening he driver side door. Her eyes never leaving his as he opened her door and helped her out. Sharon stood in front of him, right hand grabbing the strap of her purse out of Andy's hand. "Thank you Andy."
His thumbs clear away her tears then travels down her forearms, lightly squeezing them and smiles. "No problem, I'll walk with you." As he moves besides her and places his right hand on her lower back as she smiles then hums.
The walk to the elevator as quite and he knew Sharon would open up to him when she's ready. He just hoped it would be soon, he missed spending time with her, and talking to her all night long about anything. As they both entered the elevator Sharon exhaled then rests her head on his shoulder speaking softly. "Thank you Andy." She closed her eyes and smiles when she feels his lips touch her hair.
The door opens and Sharon waves goodbye as Andy stayed in the elevator to go to his floor. Sharon made her way to Chief Popes office, his secretary Dawn. Who paged Pope, she nods her head to let Sharon go in. Sharon smiles then nods her head as she enters Pope's office.
Chief Pope greeter her with a warm smile and shook her hand then gestured Sharon to sit down. "Captain Raydor it's good to see you. You look well and I know your here to get back to work am I right?" He grins at her.
"Thank you Chief, and yes I am." Placing her purse down, she reaches into it and grabs both of her doctors paperwork. "Here you go Chief." Handing her paperwork over.
Chief Pope looks over her paperwork then places them down on her desk, looking over at her then grins. "Well Captain if all goes well at the gun range and you qualify, we'll see you Monday." Pope said as he stood up, walking Sharon to the door. "It will be good to have you back Captain." Opening his door with a genuine smile on his face for her wellbeing.
"Thank you Chief, it will be good to get back to work." Sharon said with a smile and walks out of his office towards the elevator. Sharon pushed the button waiting a few seconds, hearing the ding and the doors open. Sharon walks in then pushes the button to the gun range floor.
Sharon exit the elevator, walking down the corridor towards the double door and stopping at the counter.
"Welcome Captain Raydor, it's good to see you are doing well." Greeted Doug as he slid a piece of paper under the glass.
"Thank you Doug, how are the kids and wife?" Asked Sharon with a smile, taking the piece of paper and filling it out.
"Alice, Marie, and Bear are doing great, enjoying summer camp in Colorado. Annabelle is keeping busy with her flower shop and we are taking a trip to Cabo next week." Beamed Doug as he watched Sharon fill out her paperwork.
"That's wonderful, I remember Emily and Ricky loved going to summer camps. It's good that Annabelle is keeping busy. Reminds me to stop by and pick out some hydrangeas and purple roses after I leave here." Smiled Sharon, finishing up her information and then signed her name. Skipping the piece of paper under the glass.
Doug looked over her info and sliding her a box with her gun inside, a case of ammo and earmuffs. "Sounds good, alright Sharon good luck."
Taking the two boxes and earmuffs, Sharon turns around and heads beyond the bulletproof glass door. Walking door the lanes she stops at lane thirteen, placing her purse on the bench. Turning around she walks up to the booth placing the box down and opening removing her gun and started loading her clip. Once she had all the bullets in she placed the magazine inside the gun. Placing her gun down she pushes then button to bring the target closer.
Sharon spent an hour shooting her gun, Doug was very impressed with her shooting. "I must say Sharon you are one lady I wouldn't want to piss or be on the other side of your gun. Congratulations." As Doug laughs and stamps her slip approving her to carrying her firearm and return to active duty.
"I would hope not Doug." Sharon laughs as she takes out her holster from her purse and placing her gun inside. "Thank you." Sharon said as she took the slip of paper and heads down the corridor.
Sharon walks back to Chief Pope's office, waiting with a grin on her face as Harriet congratulates her. Harriet pages Pope and gives Sharon the okay to enter.
"Here you go Chief." Said Sharon happily as she gave Pope her slip.
Placing the slip on his desk and extending his hand out, smiling. "Congratulations Captain, I...we look forward to seeing you Monday, we have much to discuss."
"Thank you Chief, look forward to returning on Monday." As she removed her hand from his, smiling.
"Well then enjoy the weekend and see you Monday morning Captain Raydor." Replied Chief Pope.
"See you Monday." Said Sharon as she nods her head then turns around walking out of his office.
Sharon couldn't stop the smile that grew wider on face as she was getting her life back together. Stopping in front of the elevators pushing the down button. She waited as she watched the numbers go down till it dinged and the doors opened. Sharon smiles as she saw Andy standing with his hands to his side. His smile grew as he saw Sharon just standing there smiling at him. She moves forward and stands next to Andy, she grins as Andy looks down and sees four perfect head shots on her targets. He shoulder pumped and whispered in her ear. "Congrats Captain."
Making Sharon blush as she hums her response to him. They stood in silence till the doors opened. Arriving at the garage, Andy placed his hand on her lower back guiding her forward as they walked towards her car. Andy watches as Sharon takes out her keys and unlocks her doors. She looks up at Andy smiling as she placed her purse in her car. "Thank you Lieutenant."
Andy grins placing in hands into his pockets. "No problem Captain." Moving back and forth on his heels he clears his throat. "So uh...Captain...uh what do you say about going out to dinner tonight?" His voice hesitant and his eyes full of hope. "You know to celebrate your return." Taking his hands out of his pockets.
Sharon smiles at Andy. She has missed him dearly and she really didn't want to be alone tonight. "I would like that Lieutenant." Sharon blushes as Andy grins and opens her driver side door for her. Before Sharon gets in she's asked. "What time should I be expecting you?"
Andy leans over as Sharon gets into her car. She blushes again as Andy grins at her and replies. "I'll pick you up at your place at 7." Pushing back and says. "Oh and Sharon wear casual clothes." Andy starts walking backwards, winking at her. He grins when she starts to laugh. Andy watches as Sharon starts her car and drives off.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sharon laughs as she sees where Andy is taking her. "Really Andy?" Looking out the passenger window seeing Hollywood Forever Cemetery with a banner with bold white words featured film tonight is Spaceballs starting time at 7:45. "Spaceballs? Oh Andy you're such a dork." She said between laughing.
"Yeah well, if it gets you to smile and laugh like that I'll take it." He said pulling into a parking spot. He grins when Sharon looks over at him and blushes.
"Like I said, you're such a dork, but a much needed dork in my life." She smiled as it was Andy's turn to blush.
Both getting out of his car, she watches as Andy moves to the trunk taking out a blanket and a medium blue cooler. "Here let me help you." Sharon walks over taking the blanket from his hands.
"Thank you, um pick where ever you want to sit." Nodded Andy as he gestured for to pick a spot.
Sharon turns around looking for the perfect spot for them to sit and enjoy the movie together. Finally finding an opening next to an old oak tree they headed that way. Andy placed the cooler down and helps Sharon place the blanket down. Both using heavy rocks on each corner to hold the blanket down, so it wouldn't blow up. Andy grabs the cooler and puts it behind them. He sits down, looking up at Sharon then pats the spot next to him. He grins when Sharon smiles and proceeds to sit next to him. Both of them had their legs stretched out leaning back on their hands. Their hands slightly touching, both feeling the spark of electricity that flowed through their fingertips. Sharon looks over at Andy seeing that he was just as effected but the jolt as she was. Sharon smiles then moved her hand over his, watching as Andy slowly moved his head to look at her.
Andy couldn't help but smile as Sharon smiled back at him. His thumb gliding along her pinky. The music began and they both turns their heads towards the screen. Thirty minutes into the movie Sharon sees Andy moved back and leans against the tree. Sharon feeling the warmth leaving her hand she moves back and sits next to him. She grins when he wraps an around around her pulling her closer to him. Sharon rests her head against his should, seconds later they started laughing.
Sharon enjoyed the way his laughter lightened her spirits as his body heat soothed her. Sharon rubs her head along his shoulder and then hums as he placed a kiss on top of her head. Sharon's other hand moved to his, their fingers threaded together as they enjoyed the movie. Andy hears Sharon stomach rumble, pulling away from her he reaches behind Sharon taking out two salads and two bottles of water. Sharon grins and mouths "thank you" as she opens up her salad.
Sharon helped Andy clean up then fold the blanket, both walking next to each other Sharon took ahold of his hand, both smiling as they walked to his car. Sharon knew that the ball was in her court and she would have to make the first move. Driving Sharon to her condo they made small talk and listened to classical music. Pulling into her garage Sharon turns her body facing him. "Would you like to come upstairs for coffee?"
Andy frowns and then exhales. "I would love to but we still have to solve this case and we have to be in early. So how about next time?" He looked over at her.
Sharon hides the sadness she feels knowing that Andy couldn't hang out a bit more. She nods her head and puts on a fake smile. "I would like that, Andy."
Andy holds her hand tighter and smiles. "Good because I miss spending time with you Sharon. I really do." Hesitantly moving done hair behind her ear.
Sharon leans her head into his hand and hums. "I miss spending time with you. If you get out early or have time, come over tomorrow night." Sharon said bring hopeful.
Andy grins running his thumb along her cheekbone. "I can do that, I'll call you later tomorrow to let you know what's going on." Andy said with a smile. His eyes getting lost in hers, how he just wanted to kiss her lips and glide his tongue into her mouth just to hear her moan but mostly to taste her. Andy was paying any attention to what she was saying until he felt her hand tighten around his.
"Andy?" Her eyes looked onto his.
Andy backed away slightly, clearing his throat, and blushing as he replied. "Sorry I was just thinking."
Sharon grins as she leans her head more into his hand. "Thinking about what?" She asked in a sultry tone.
Andy watched as her eyes turned a darker green as she hums. He swallows hard thinking if he should tell her what he was thinking, but he knew she liked honesty. Taking a deep breath in and praying it wasn't a mistake. "I was thinking how it would feel to kiss your lips and I wondered what you would taste like." He eyes never leaving hers.
Sharon blushed at his honesty and couldn't help the smile that played along her lips. "Yeah?" She whispers as she moved closer to his lips slowly, her eyes never leaving his. She smiles as his eyes widen and he had that goofy grin on his face while he nodded his head yes. "Good, because I have too."
At the last second they both closed their eyes as their lips touched. Andy didn't dare move, frozen still as her soft warm lips were on his. He moans as she pulls away slightly, rubbing the top of her nose against his then brings her lips back onto his. Both pulling away, just smiling happily as they finished their first kiss. "Goodnight Andy, I had a really lovely time tonight." She whispers as her warm breath runs along his lips.
"I did too Sharon, goodnight." Andy replies grinning as he watches Sharon pen his door and walks away towards the elevator. Once she was safely inside Andy did a little dance in his seat, he got the girl and couldn't wait to to see Sharon again.
Sharon was dressed and ready for bed when her phone went off. It was a text from Andy saying he made it home and was looking forward in seeing her again. Sharon smiles as she texted her reply, after pressing send she placed her phone down, turned off the light on her nightstand abs laid in bed thinking of how wonderful tonight was with Andy and how happy he made her feel.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sharon was disappointed when Andy called and had to cancel their coffee that night but she went back to reading her book and enjoying a glass of wine. After ready halfway through the book and seeing that it was past midnight Sharon placed her bookmark in her book, closing it and leaving it on her table. Picking up her wine glass and taking it to the sink, washing it out she placed it in her dishwasher. Turning off all of her lights and checking her doors she walked down the corridor to her bedroom. Sharon took off her clothes and grabbed the t-shirt that Andy left at her place. Taking in his scent that was almost gone she pulled the covers away and stepped into bed.
Sharon was woken out of bed by someone banging on her door. Moving the covers off of her quickly and grabbing her gun she headed towards her front door to see who was intruding on her much needed sleep. Sharon steps forward on her toes, looking through the peephole to see a disheveled Andy with what looked like blood on his clothes.
Sharon opens the door quickly asking. "Oh my god Andy, what happened?"
"Sharon." He said in a whisper pulling Sharon into his arms hugging her tightly crying into her neck.
Sharon held tightly to Andy as he cried, running her hands up and down his back speaker softly to him. "Shhhhh it's okay, I'm here. I'm here." She kissed the side of his sweaty head.
They rocked side to side as Andy began to calm down. Andy moved them backwards into her condo, using his foot to close the door. "She was just a child Sharon, just a child." He whimpered into her neck. His body started to shake against fresh warm tears ran from his eyes and down her neck.
Sharon had no idea what he was talking about but just held him tightly to her just repeating in his ear. "I've got you Andy, I've got you. Just let it go, I've got you." As her hands running up and down along his back.
Andy takes a deep breath in, breathing in as much needed oxygen along with the strong smell of jasmine into his lungs. "She was the same age as Nicole, Sharon and someone just ran her over and didn't even bother to stop to see if she was alright." He clung to Sharon as he spoke into her neck, his body shaking violently as he cried again.
Moisture started to sting her eyes as she figured out what he was referring too. Her arms hugging him tightly. "Oh Andy, I'm so sorry."
Andy pulled out of their hug, taking ahold of Sharon's hand and guiding them to her couch. Sharon stopped them and started guided them towards his bedroom. He followed Sharon with no questions asked. He stood still as Sharon removed his tie placing it on her bed. Then started unbuttoning his best buttons then his dress shirt, moving them down his shoulders and then down his arms placing them next to his tie. She looks up at him as she placed her hands on his buckle. Sharon kneels down untying his shoes, helping him take them off. Standing back up she's hesitant. Andy nods giving Sharon the okay to take off and remove his pants.
Once Andy was out of his clothes, standing in his undershirt and boxers in front of Sharon. She pulls him into a hug, wrapping her arms tightly around him. "Thank you Sharon." He says softly.
Sharon hums as her arms tighten around him. "Let's go to bed, hmmmm?" She whispers in his ear.
He loosens his hold on her and backs away, moving to the other side of her bed where he watched her get in and realized she was wearing his shirt that he thought he lost. He grins as he slips into her bed along with Sharon. She moves next to him resting her head on his chest humming as his arm went around her. Sharon ran her hand along his chest while she listened to his heart beat.
"I went to three meeting tonight and I couldn't get Gracie Ann Gates out of my mind. I didn't want to go home alone and Provenza is off drinking. I just wanted to go some where safe, so I came here." He spoke softly.
Sharon lifted her head, resting her chin on his chest. "Oh Andy, I'm glad you went to a few meetings, I'm sorry they didn't help you very much, but you are always welcome here." Smiling sadly at Andy. "Always welcomed." Moving her head down, placing a kiss over his heart.
His arms tightened around Sharon. "Thank you Sharon, I just needed this. I needed you, you give me the strength to fight back my demons right now." Moving some hair away from her neck.
Sharon looks up at Andy and smiles. "You also gave me the strength to live again. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have recovered so quickly." Sharon said honestly.
Andy pulls her down against him and kisses her temple whispering. "I can't take all the credit. It was all you Sharon. You are much more stronger then you give yourself credit." Rubbing his hand up and down along her side, pulling on his shirt he says. "I thought I lost this shirt." He said with a grin.
Sharon blushes as she buried her face into his chest, mumbling. "I found it under blankets, I was going to return it. But your smell helps me sleep better at night." Smiling as she feels his arms tighten around her.
"Well I have another shirt you can borrow, I can imagine my scent is almost faded. Since all I can smell is jasmine and mint." He replied back to her with a grin.
Lifting her head up and looking into his eyes. "Really?" She asked surprised.
Andy smiles and says. "Of course, if it helps you to sleep at night, how could I say no. Plus you look good wearing my shirts." Lifting both of his eyebrows up and down.
Sharon snort laughs and hides her face again on his chest. "Good night Andy."
Loosening his hold he whispers. "Good night Sharon, thank you again."
Sharon hums resting her head on his chest listening to his heart beat gradually slow down and start to snore. Sharon moved her left leg between his and closed her eyes.
Andy woke up well rested stretching his entire body and looked to his right and saw her side of the bed was empty. Andy gets out of bed, moving to her bathroom where he does his business then brushes his teeth. Walking out of her bathroom and down the hall to the kitchen where he sees Sharon wearing only his shirt and her black UGG's. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her as he watched her cut up fruit.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare or are you going to help me Lieutenant?" Said Sharon sarcastically with a grin on her lips.
Andy blushes as he moved forwards grab two mugs from her pantry then proceeded to the coffee machine. He stands next to her watcher her cut up state berries. "Good morning."
Sharon stops cutting and looks over at Andy smiling. "Good morning." Grabbing a strawberry and feeding it to him. She snorts as he eats it and mumbles thank you.
Andy places her mug next to her as she moved to the fridge to grab yogurt then spoons for their breakfast. "Andy could you grab the granola in the pantry behind you, please."
"Oh course." As he turns around, grabbing the granola then then moves to grab two bowls.
"Thank you Andy." As she stirs the yogurt, placing a decent amount in each bowl, grabbing the granola sprinkling it on top. Both grabbing strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, pineapple chunks, and mango slices into their bowls. Grabbing their coffees along with their yogurts and headed into the dinning room. After eating breakfast they sat on the couch watching television, Sharon looks over at Andy, seeing that he looked a lot better than he did last night.
"I'm doing good Sharon." Andy said as he turns and looks at her with a grin on his lips.
Sharon blushes as she smiles back, shrugging her shoulders as she says. "Just checking."
Both looking back at the TV, Andy brings his arm over her shoulder and Sharon scoots closer to Andy's side. Resting her head on his shoulder. They were interrupted by Andy's cell phone going off. He reached for his phone, rolling his eyes as he's best friend was calling him.
"It's Louie." Andy says than swiping right to accept his call. "Please tell me we did t catch a case?" Whined Andy.
"No you idiot, I was just seeing how you are doing? You took out last case really hard." Grumbled Louie.
"I'm doing good, I went to three meeting last night." Said Andy, he looked at Sharon rolling his eyes.
Sharon couldn't help but giggle out loud. Her eyes widen as she covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh you are more than alright. Your with the Captain huh?" Groaned Louie.
Smiling over at Sharon. "As a matter of fact I am." Andy said happily.
Louie rolled his eyes. "I have no idea what you see it that woman, but all I know is that she makes you happy and I haven't seen the Captain smile...well since...never." Taking a deep breath in and slowly releasing it. "I can't believe I'm an saying this. But you better treat her right Flynn, that woman has been through enough. So don't be an idiot. Oh wait you are an idiot for falling for her."
"Geez thanks Old Man, but don't worry I plan on cherishing this one till the day I die." Taking ahold of Sharon's hand and smiled at her. He smile widens as he watches Sharon blushes.
"Yee gods Flynn, you're going to make sick. I'm hanging up now, glad you didn't relapse last night and your doing a-okay." Groaned Louise rolling his eyes and hanging up on Andy, before he could reply.
Andy shrugs his shoulders, placing his phone on the table and pulling Sharon back to his side. Sharon hums as she places her head on his shoulder again. Sharon waited a few more minutes to tell Andy about the good news. She waited till the show was over, sitting up. She grabs his hand intertwining their fingers and waited for him to look at her. Andy turns his head and looks at her.
Going over and over the words in her head Sharon blurts out. "I'm not a married woman anymore." Blushing as Andy's eyes widen than a dumb smile grazed his lips.
Andy had a lump in his throat, he has waited patiently for those words to leave Sharon's lips and it finally has happened. He cleared his throat then finally spoke. "So, does that mean I can ask you out on a date?" He asked hesitantly.
Sharon smiles, her hand holding his tightly. "Or I could ask you." She bumps his shoulder with his. "So, what do you say Andrew Flynn, you wanna go on an date with The Wicked Witch?" She asked.
Andy moves closer to placing his other hand on her face, his thumb gliding along the scar by her eye. "You're not The Wicked Witch to me, your just a beautiful woman who's name is Sharon Raydor." He swallowed and continued. "I would love to go on a date with you." He said with his eyes full of happiness and a smile that lit up her world.
She leans her head into his palm smiling at him. "I was thinking tomorrow night? Unless you get a case."
He smiles running his thumb along her cheek. "Anytime would be perfect. But what about Chief Pope and Assistant Chief Taylor?" Andy's voice full of doubt.
"I have a meeting with them both on Monday and I'll tell them than." She replied.
Looking down at her lips than back into her eyes. "What he they won't allow it since this while investigation this lawsuit and trying to find the leak?" Andy asked sadly.
"If they so no, than I'll retire. I've done my time and I'm not getting a promotion anytime soon." Shrugging her shoulders.
Taking both of his hands on hers. "Sharon, I can't have you do that, specially for me...I mean us, you love this job."
Removing one of her hands and placed it on Andy's face. "I do love this job very much, but I love you too."
Andy couldn't help but grin as Sharon just said that she loved him. Moving his hands on both sides of her face and looking lovingly in her eyes. "Sharon Raydor, I love you too. If this is." Moving a hand off her face and gesturing to them. "What you want, than I won't stop you from retiring. But instead of you retiring how about me. I mean I'm just a detective and well your job is more important than mine."
Sharon was shaking her head no, but Andy stopped her from continuing. "I'm serious, I'll retire. I'm getting old to be running after suspects and let's face it. I'm not getting any younger." He laughed and was joined by Sharon, seconds later turned into a snort laugh.
"Your partner is going to be so angry with you, but mostly me if that happens." Said Sharon running her thumb along his jawline smiling as his stumble tickled her thumb.
Andy smiles back as he nodded his head. "Yes, but he'll get over it eventually, if not just fill out his crossword puzzles for him or hide it." Said while laughing.
Sharon laughs. "Andy you are terrible. I will not do that to your best friend." Shaking her head no.
"Fine than Mrs. Prim and Proper. Taking all the fun out of this." He said as he moved closer.
"You're not the one who will have to work with him." Sharon said as her eyes moved down to his lips as they got closer.
"True." He said right before his lips touched hers. His Andy's moved back into her hair holding her their as their lips touched.
Sharon ran her tongue along his lips, grinning as he moans opening his mouth to her. The taste of coffee and fruit mixing together as their tongues twirl in harmony. Her free hand moving begins his neck while the other stayed on his face. They both pull apart smiling as Sharon rests her head on his chest as Andy's arms wrap around her holding her close.
