Andy could sense Sharon's uneasiness as she kept looking down at her watch every few minutes. He knew something was up, since they haven't seen each other in over two weeks. As the rest of the team watched Chief Johnson and Detective Gabriel's interview Mr. Bateman, on his whereabouts the night the security guard was murdered. Right in front of an abandon house around his neighborhood. In which his daughter, Jenna Bateman met up with her over aged boyfriend Luke Bower to have under age sex. Not even after five minutes since Captain Raydor left did they see the door of Interview Room 1 open and Captain Raydor pokes her head in. Excusing for interrupting their interview, and she asked for Detective Gabriel to follow her.
Right then and there, they all knew who the leak was and it hurt deeply for everyone, to find out that one of their own had sold them out to the Mr. Goldman. But what they didn't is that Detective Gabriel had no idea his girlfriend was the leak and telling Mr. Goldman all of Gabriel's secrets from Major Crimes. They watched as Chief Johnson composed herself after watching Detective Gabriel walk off with Captain Raydor, continuing to interview Mr. Bateman. Once she had his confession and he was taken into booking that she locked herself in her office while the others quietly written their reports. Three hours later walked in Detective Gabriel's and Captain Raydor. They saw him walking slowly pasts their desks as he made his way to Chief Johnson's office. They watched him with his head bowed, the feeling of defeat written all over his body and they could have sworn they saw dried tears that had once flown down from his eyes earlier. The team watched as they both entered Chief Johnson's office and Captain Raydor shutting the blinds. Before she closed the blinds her eyes landed on Andy's, nodding her head as he raised his left brow and his eyes showing just how hurt he was that she didn't tell him it was Gabriel.
They watched as Chief Johnson's door opened and Captain Raydor waking out and closed the door behind her. She looked around at each of them, she could tell by the look in their eyes that Detective Gabriel was the leak. She was hoping they would let him explain what happen and understand that it was never his intentions to leak information to Mr. Goldman and hopefully forgive him. She nods her head and walks towards the elevator to go back to FID, finish up her report and head home to a hot bath and a large glass of Pinot Grigio. To forget about today and to drowned her sorrows of how hurt Andy was. Wishing he would understand that she couldn't tell him, yet again her precious rules got in the way. But if he loved her like he said he did, he should understand why it has to be this way. She exhaled loudly resting her head on the elevator wall as it traveled down to FID.
To say Andy was upset would be an understatement, he knew why Sharon didn't say anything to him about Gabriel. Her damn rules, it was always damn her rules. If she wasn't so damn funny, smart, a wicked sense of humor, and those eyes, her emerald green eyes that captivated him. The way she smiled at him and laughed at his dumb jokes. To her snort laugh that when it happened she would hide her face in her hands or in the crock of his neck. He shivered as he felt her warm breath tickle his neck hiding her flushed face from him. Chief Johnson's door opened and Andy watched as they both walked out of her office.
"As ya'll probably figured out that Detective Gabriel was the leak, but I want ya'll to listen to and understand that it wasn't his intention." Chief Johnson addressed her team. She patted Gabriel's shoulder to let him know it's time to let it all out there.
Andy was so upset that he told Detective Gabriel's, he better ask for a transfer and stormed out. He couldn't believe that another one of his partners would betray him and we'll their whole division. As he stormed out he looked down at his phone to see if Sharon had called or text him, but his phone showed nothing. Of course not, the way I glared at her, she had every right to be mad at him for being an idiot. To relieve his stress, he headed off to a much needed meeting and stop by Sharon's condo to tell her he was sorry for being an idiot and that she would forgive me.
Sharon stripped off her clothes and placed her silk robe on. Walking along her condo till she reached the kitchen, grabbing a glass then opened her refrigerator to grab a bottle of wine. Pouring a hefty glass, she took a sip, and walked towards her bathroom. Soon as she walked into the bathroom the smell of jasmine and lavender invaded her nose. She closed her eyes as she twirled her wine in her hand then took a sip. Humming as she placed her wine glass down and untied her robe. She hung her robe behind the bathroom door, walking to the sink and grabbed her wine. Taking another sip, she walked to the tub. Slowly emerging herself in the warm liquid, her body adjusting to the heat of the water as she sat fully in the tub. She hums when she lays her head back against the tub and closed her eyes. Letting the warm water soothe her muscles, the smell of lavender calm her nerves, and the wine to relax her mind from over thinking. Soon the smell of pine was introduced to her senses and she only knew one person who wore that. A smile formed her lips as she felt Andy's warm lips touched her forehead and his humid breath feathering across her flesh as he whispered.
"I'm sorry for being an idiot."
Sharon hums opening her eyes, gazing up at his sadden brown eye that begged for her forgiveness. She reached up and placed her wet hands on the side of his face. "Andy, there is nothing to be sorry about." Sharon said softly pulling his face down and kissed him, her tongue pushed through his mouth. She hums as the taste of his mint tea and the taste of her sweet wine mingled in harmony.
Andy pulled away slightly opening his eyes slowly, gazing into her emerald green eyes shining up at him. Andy smiled at her while his hands took ahold of hers, kissing her wet knuckles.
"Hey." Andy said softly, kissing her knuckles on her other hand.
"Hey." Sharon said sweetly. The blush creeping along her cheeks and down her chest that were hidden under the bubbles. She kept her eyes locked on to his as he kept her knuckles pressed on his warm lips. "Come join me?" Sharon asked, the grin on her lips grew bigger as she watched Andy eyes widen.
"Are...are you sure, Sharon?" Stuttered Andy. Surprised she invited him into the tub with her. They would be naked and their flesh touching. Andy swallowed the lump in his throat at the thought of her seeing him naked for the first time.
"Yes, Andy. I'm sure." Sharon said with a smirk on her lips. Her hands squeezed his lightly.
"Okay, okay." Andy said nodding his head. He brought her hands to his lips again and kissed her knuckles one last time, letting them go. His eyes were glued on Sharon's, as she stared at him. Standing up he brought his hands to his tie and slowly unknotted it. Pulling it from around his neck and placed it on the counter top. Losing eye contact with Sharon, his eyes traveled to his dress shirt watching each button being unbuttoned by his fingertips. Andy shrugged his dress shirt off his shoulders and placed it next to his tie. His hands nervously unbuckling his belt and pulls it from his belt loops, and placed it on the counter next to his dress shirt.
Andy pulled his white undershirt from is pants, turning around so his back was facing Sharon as he lifted it up above his head and placed it over his other shirt. His eyes moved to the mirror in front of him, his eyes on Sharon's toes that rested on the tubs faucet. He grinned when he saw her dark purple nail polish. His eyes following the trail of her gorgeous long legs until the bubbles blocked his view. His fingers undoing his button and pulled his zipper down. Andy stepped out of pants, bending over picking them up and folded them, then placed them over his other clothes.
Andy turned around and smiled at Sharon, her eyes roaming over his body stopping at his eyes. The blush that crept along her cheeks made her look even more beautiful. Andy leaned against the counter, lifting each leg up to take off his socks and dropped them on the floor. Andy walked towards the bathtub smiling at Sharon. He stopped in front of the tub, he watched Sharon move forward to make room for him.
After Sharon scooted forward, she turned her head seeing Andy lifting his leg up. "Andy, you know you can take off your boxers." She said with a little humor in her voice. She smiles when she hears Andy hesitantly say. "Ohh I just thought." She could hear Andy removing his boxers and she smiles again when Andy cleared his throat. She watches the water ripple and rise higher as Andy steps in behind her. Stretching his legs outside of hers, his hands gliding down her back and across her stomach puling her shandy him as he leans back against the tub.
Sharon closed her eyes and hums when she feels his arms circle around her and pulled her against warm body. She smiled when she felt his lips caress her temple and his arms tightened around her waist. "I love you Andy." Sharon said, leaning her head into lips, and her hands landed over his.
"I love you Sharon." Andy replied. His lips kissing down her face and stops at her neck. "So, Sharon since your investigation is over with Chief Johnson. I was wondering when you wanted to go back to the beach house and get away for a few days?" Andy finished speaking and peppered kisses on her neck. Her hums making him smile, specially when she tilts her head more, giving Andy more room to kiss behind her ear.
Sharon waited till Andy was done peppering her with kisses when she playful asked. "Lieutenant Flynn are you asking me out on a romantic getaway?" She smiled when she felt him take a deep breath in and waited for his response.
"Well uh, well uh, if you want it to be romantic yes. But don't want you to think that we have to make love on this trip. I mean I'm not, I'm not expecting you too you know..." Andy stuttered with his words. He felt Sharon let go of his hands. He closed his eyes and held his breath in wait to hear the worst.
Sharon removed her hands from his and turned her body around. His hands stayed on her hips and also used the water to keep her afloat while she gazed at his face. His entire face was pensive waiting for her to say no. Sharon placed her wet hands on his chest, her thumbs gliding over his heart, smiling at him. "Andy I was joking and if this trip does become a romantic one." Sharon stops when she sees Andy open his eyes. His chocolate brown gazing tentatively into hers. Giving her the courage she needed to continue. "I love you Andy and I would really like it to be a romantic getaway."
Sharon smiled when she felt his hands moved up along her back.
"Really?" Andy asked breathlessly. Unsure if he heard her right, did she just say she wanted it to be a romantic getaway.
Sharon moved closer to him, causing the water to almost flow over the tub, her lips hovering over his. "Yes Andy, really." Her warm breath touching his lips. Sharon hums and closed her eyes happily when she felt his lips cover hers kissing her passionately.
