A/N: Sorry it's taken me so long to get this chapter up! School has taken up a lot of my time these past few weeks. The good news is that I'm now done for the semester and I should have a lot more time to write. The idea to include the Adele songs in this chapter was inspired by a Tumblr post originally posted by fatima-xo and reblogged by captainbadassmarshmallowfluff wondering if Sharon Raydor listens to Adele, which I think is an awesome headcanon. Also, I had a reviewer ask what the acronym PAB meant. It means Police Administrative Building (aka the big building the Major Crimes team works out of). Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 5: Thinking of You

Sharon and Andy had closed their latest case fairly early in the evening and had decided to spend a quiet night in at Sharon's condo. With Rusty still at the library studying, it left Sharon and Andy with the condo all to themselves. They had ordered in some Chinese and just as it arrived, Sharon came out into the living room in black leggings and a gray LAPD t-shirt. As Andy set the takeout containers on the coffee table in front of the couch, Sharon went to grab plates, forks, and two glasses of water out of the kitchen and brought them over to the table.

After they each got their food, Sharon sat down on the couch and settled her feet on Andy's lap. It had sort of become their thing when they were eating casually like this.

After Andy swallowed a bite of his food, he looked over at Sharon and asked, "Is that my shirt?"

"Mmhmm," Sharon hummed as she swallowed a bite of food.

Andy just smiled and shook his head at Sharon.

"I decided I wanted a memento from our night at your place last week," Sharon admitted.

"Oh really? This wouldn't have anything to do with your sense of occasion, would it?" Andy asked her.

"Oh, it definitely has everything to do with my sense of occasion," Sharon replied flirtatiously.

Andy smiled at Sharon again as he looked at her and said, "Well, I think it's a keeper. Much like someone else I know."

"Oh? And who would that be? Don't tell me you're messing around on me, Andy Flynn," Sharon joked.

"Nah. I'm a one gal kind of guy. Plus, I mean, when your girlfriend looks that good in your shirt, what other option is there?" Andy replied.

Sharon smiled back at Andy as she said, "Fair point."

They continued flirting while they ate. Once they were done, they set their plates on the coffee table and Andy began rubbing Sharon's feet. A minute later though, Sharon took her feet off of Andy's lap and jumped up off the couch.

"Sharon?" Andy questioned.

"I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you," Sharon said excitedly as she went over to the stereo and turned it on.

"As Sharon flipped through the songs on her iPod trying to find the one she was looking for, Andy came up behind her and put his arms around her as he asked, "A surprise, huh? This wouldn't have anything to do with your infamous dancing, would it? Cause I love your dancing," said Andy.

"No embarrassing dancing tonight. I heard this song the other day and I thought of you. Here it is," said Sharon as she hit play and the Adele song, Remedy, began playing.

After the song began, Sharon turned around in Andy's arms and rested her hands lazily against the back of Andy's neck while Andy let his hands rest against Sharon's lower back as they began slow dancing to the music.

Meanwhile, just as the song had begun playing, Rusty opened the door and saw the sweet scene before him. Neither Sharon nor Andy noticed he was standing there, so Rusty decided to pull out his phone and record it until one of them noticed he was there. He'd send it to Ricky and Emily later and maybe Nicole too.

It turns out Sharon and Andy were so lost in the moment that neither of them saw Rusty standing there recording it on his phone. Once the song ended, Rusty decide to finally close the door to alert both of them to his presence. When they heard the door close, both Sharon and Andy looked up at Rusty.

"Hey, Rusty. How was your study group?" Sharon asked.

"Hey mom. Hi Andy. Umm…studying was productive. I'm starving though," said Rusty.

"Well, there's some leftover Chinese here on the table or you could grab some leftovers from the fridge," Sharon suggested.

"Yeah, I think I'll just grab something out of the fridge. I still need to finish up some homework before I go to sleep," said Rusty.

"Okay," Sharon said before she turned her attention back to Andy.

"I will be right back," Sharon told Andy as she began to walk down the hall towards the bathroom.

Andy decided to bring their dinner dishes into the kitchen while he waited for Sharon to return from the bathroom.

"Hey, Andy. Can I talk to you about something for a minute?" Rusty asked.

"Sure, shoot, "Andy replied.

"I was wondering if you could get mom out of the PAB for a while around noon on the 25th. You know, just take her out to lunch or something," said Rusty.

"Okay. You wanna tell me what this is all about?" Andy asked him.

Rusty peeked around the corner momentarily to make sure Sharon wasn't anywhere in earshot of their conversation.

"Emily and Ricky are both coming home for Thanksgiving this year. Ricky usually makes it, but Emily typically doesn't make it home until Christmas. Somehow, Emily's touring schedule is allowing her to make it home for Thanksgiving this year, but she wants to surprise mom. So, I'm picking her up from LAX around 11am on the 25th and I was thinking that if you could take mom out to lunch around noon, it would give us plenty of time to get there and surprise her when you guys got back," Rusty explained.

"Okay. I'll make it happen. Your mom's gonna be so excited when she finds out," Andy told him.

"You can't say anything to her though," Rusty told him.

"About what? I know nothing," said Andy sarcastically.

"Thanks, Andy," said Rusty.

"No problem. Anything to make your mom happy," Andy replied.

"Oh god. I don't know what to do with you two anymore. You're both just so cheesy when you're around each other," said Rusty as he finished heating up his food and made his way out of the kitchen as Sharon was coming back down the hallway towards the living room.

"You'll understand some day," said Andy as Rusty made his way down the hall towards his room.

"Yeah, but I'll never be that cheesy about it," Rusty replied as he shut the door to his room.

Sharon, confused about what was going on, gave Andy a puzzled look.

"He was talking about how cheesy we are when we're together and I told him that someday he'd understand and that was his response," Andy explained to her.

"Oh my goodness. We're not that cheesy, are we?" Sharon asked Andy as they both moved to sit on the couch.

"Even if we are, I don't care. Cause I love you, Sharon Raydor," said Andy as he leaned over and kissed her.

"I love you too, Andy Flynn," Sharon replied.

"Oh, and that song. Very us. Who sings it?" Andy asked.

"Adele. It's called Remedy," Sharon replied.

"Hmm…I'll have to remember that," Andy replied.

They sat there in silence holding each other for a moment before either of them spoke.

"So, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?" Sharon asked Andy.

"Well, Nicole and Brandon usually go over to their mom's house for Thanksgiving. So, I usually just hang out at home or sometimes Provenza and I will hang out," Andy replied.

"Well, I think you should come over and have Thanksgiving dinner with us. Ricky's going to be here for a few days. It was just gonna be the three of us, but I would love it if you came over," said Sharon.

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude on your time with your kids," Andy replied.

"Don't be silly. It'll be great. Ricky and Rusty are both totally fine with you being in my life. Plus, you can help me cook. It'll be nice not to be the only one in the kitchen cooking all day," Sharon pointed out.

"Oh, I see how it is. You're using me for my expert cooking skills, aren't you?" Andy asked jokingly.

"Maybe. Regardless though, I'd love it if you spent the day with us. I'd hate to think that you'd be spending Thanksgiving alone," said Sharon.

"Okay, you sold me. I'll be here bright and early Thanksgiving morning," Andy told her.

"Good. That means my persuasive skills must still be pretty sharp," Sharon replied.

"Well, it's not like you had to twist my arm or anything," said Andy as he smiled at Sharon.

"Must be my charm, huh?" Sharon asked jokingly.

"Well, there is that. Plus, you're not a bad kisser…and then of course there's the small fact that you're my remedy and I'm yours. Oh, and also-" said Andy before Sharon stopped him by putting her fingers to his lips to silence him.

"Andy, I wanna kiss you right now…and I can't do that if you don't stop talking," Sharon pointed out before she leaned over and kissed him passionately.

They sat on the couch kissing for a few minutes before Sharon asked, "How about we show off some of those remedying skills right now?"

"Are you sure? Cause I usually don't stay here overnight and I wouldn't want to cause any problems," said Andy.

"Andy, do me a favor. Grab the iPod off the table over there and meet me in my bedroom. Then, I'll give you an answer," Sharon told him as she walked away from him and down the hall towards her bedroom.

Andy was in a daze for a moment as he watched Sharon walk down the hallway. He was a bit confused by her request, but followed the instructions nonetheless. He quickly grabbed the iPod off the table and made his way down the hall and into Sharon's bedroom.

Once Andy got there, he found Sharon waiting for him next to her dresser. He handed her the iPod and she connected it to her iHome speakers before selecting Adele's, Lay Me Down.

As it began playing, Sharon went over to her bedroom door to close and lock it before making her way back over to Andy as the song continued playing. A minute later, after the title lyric played, Sharon asked Andy, "Does that answer your question?"

Andy answered Sharon by flipping the lights off and kissing her slowly as they made their way towards Sharon's bed while the music continued playing in the background.

The next morning, Sharon was the first to wake up. She opened her eyes and looked over at Andy still asleep next to her. She momentarily debated whether or not to wake him up just yet, but quickly decided she wanted to spend as much time as possible with him on her Saturday off.

As Sharon leaned over and kissed him, she could feel Andy stirring slightly as he began reciprocating her kiss and his hand began to move up and down her side.

A moment later, Andy opened up his eyes as he looked over at Sharon and said, "Not a bad way to wake up."

"Definitely not," Sharon replied.

"What time is it? Cause we were up pretty late last night," said Andy.

"It's only about 7:30. Oh, and whose fault was it that we were up so late last night?" Sharon asked.

"I'd say it was mostly yours. You started it with those Adele songs and then there's the small fact that you're irresistible and I can't say no to kissing you…or touching you…or…" Andy trailed off before Sharon shut him up by kissing him.

"Okay, maybe it was a little bit my fault, but I didn't hear you complaining," Sharon pointed out.

"Oh, believe me. The last thing I was doing last night was complaining," said Andy as he began trailing kisses down Sharon's neck.

Sharon began to laugh before she said, "Well, regardless of whose fault it was, we should probably get up. You can get some coffee going and I'll make us some breakfast."

"Fine," said Andy as they both got up to get properly dressed.

Just as Sharon was about to unlock and open the door though, Andy came up behind her and whispered, "Usually, I would say that taking your clothes off is way better than you putting them back on, but right now I'm not so sure. I think it might be the shirt. Either that, or it's the woman in the shirt."

Just then, Sharon turned around in Andy's arms and kissed him before she said, "I think this whole shirt thing is rotting your brain."

"Only in the best way possible," Andy replied as Sharon unlocked and opened the door.

As they made their way into the kitchen, Sharon and Andy realized that they were the first ones up that morning.

Andy began making coffee while Sharon looked in the fridge and asked him, "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Hmm…surprise me," said Andy as he went and got two mugs out of the cupboard and set them next to the coffee maker as the coffee began to brew.

Meanwhile, Sharon had decided to make omelets and had just finished making the first one when Andy came over and handed her a mug of coffee.

"Thank you," said Sharon as she leaned over to kiss Andy.

"My pleasure," Andy replied.

Sharon chuckled before she said, "Well, I guess I should be grateful that you said that here instead of in front of Chief Taylor again."

"I actually thought it was rather funny," said Andy.

"It was funny until we got caught," Sharon replied.

At that moment, Andy pulled Sharon towards him and kissed her. The kiss deepened slightly until they were interrupted by a voice behind them.

"Seriously? It's called a bedroom for a reason," said Rusty as he walked past them and grabbed a mug out of the cupboard before pouring himself some coffee.

Sharon blushed slightly before saying, "Good morning to you too, Rusty. Would you like some breakfast? I'm making omelets."

"Sure. Thanks. Just please try to refrain from making out while I'm sitting here," said Rusty.

"I can do that. What about you, Andy?" Sharon asked.

"I don't know..." said Andy jokingly.

"Oh my god! By the way Andy, aren't those the same clothes you had on when you came over here yesterday?" asked Rusty mockingly.

"Rusty…"Sharon warned as she continued making the second omelet.

Andy laughed before he said, "All I'm going to say is, don't ask questions you don't want the answers to."

"Fair enough," said Rusty.

Just then, Sharon brought Rusty's omelet over to the table and set it in front of him before going back over to the stove to start hers.

"Thanks, mom," said Rusty.

"You're welcome," Sharon replied.

"So Andy, what are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?" Rusty asked.

"Oddly enough, you're not the first person to ask me that," said Andy as he glanced over at Sharon.

"Andy's kids usually spend Thanksgiving at their mom's house. So, Andy's gonna spend Thanksgiving with us this year," Sharon explained to Rusty.

"Oh, cool. Although, I feel like I should warn you about something," said Rusty.

"What?" Andy asked.

"Ricky's planning to grill you a bit about your intentions when he's here for Thanksgiving. He tried to get me to do it, but I told him that unlike him, I still have to live here. Emily told him it was a stupid idea too and that mom was more than capable of handling herself," said Rusty.

"He seriously said that?" Sharon asked Rusty as she sat down at the table with her omelet.

"Yeah," Rusty replied.

"Well, it sounds like Richard and I are going to be having a conversation later on today," said Sharon.

"Sharon, don't. It's fine. I completely understand where he's coming from. He's probably just worried about you, that's all. Hell, I'd probably do the same thing if I was in his position," said Andy.

"Andy's right, mom. That's literally all it is. He knows Andy's a good guy. He just knows how you've been hurt in the past and wants to make sure you're happy and that Andy's intentions are good," said Rusty.

"Sharon, you really don't have to say anything to him about it. I totally respect what he's doing. He's just looking out for you, that's all," said Andy.

"Okay," Sharon replied.

That afternoon, after Andy had gone home, Sharon decided to give Andy's daughter, Nicole, a call. She had an idea about how to surprise Andy and she wanted to run it by Nicole first to see if she was okay with it.

Nicole's phone rang a couple of times before she picked it up.

"Hello?" Nicole asked.

"Hi, Nicole. It's Sharon," said Sharon.

"Hey Sharon! How are you?" Nicole asked her.

"I'm doing good. How about you?" Sharon asked.

"Oh, you know, busy. Busy, but good," Nicole replied.

"Do you have a minute? I'd like to run something past you," said Sharon.

"Sure. What's up?" Nicole asked.

"Well, I know you and your brother are going over to your mom's house for Thanksgiving, but I was wondering if you guys would want to come over here afterwards for coffee. Your dad will be here and Rusty and my other son Ricky will be here too. Feel free to bring Adam and the boys too," said Sharon.

"Sure. That sounds great! We should be done at moms around six or so. How about we come over around seven?" Nicole asked.

"That'd be great. Oh, and please don't say anything to your dad about this. He doesn't know anything about this," said Sharon.

"Oh, I see. So, you're planning to surprise him with this?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah. I thought it'd be a nice way to surprise him," Sharon replied.

"Okay. I'm in. Do you want me to talk to Brandon about this or would you rather talk to him?" Nicole asked Sharon.

"If you want to give me his number, I can call him," Sharon replied.

"Okay. His number is 310-451-5268. He usually gets off work around 5pm. So, the evening hours are probably the best time to reach him," said Nicole.

"Okay. Thanks Nicole. I'm glad you guys are gonna be able to make it. I'm looking forward to it," said Sharon.

"Me too. We'll see you next Thursday around 7pm," said Nicole.

"Okay. Bye, Nicole," said Sharon.

"Bye, Sharon," said Nicole as they both hung up.

That night, Sharon called Brandon and he also agreed to be there Thanksgiving night.

After Sharon hung up the phone, she smiled to herself. This was going to be a great Thanksgiving! The only thing that would have made it even better is if Emily had been able to make it.
