Hey guys :) This just came to mind when I was sitting in chemistry last week and was insanely bored. I Plan on posting a second chapter to this first one if you like the first one so please let me know if you want me to continue by reviewing!

Set around 2x08 - 2x09 where they were really flirty before Sam left.

Enjoy and please review :)


Sam was really looking forward to this weekend. His new spa had arrived last week but he hadn't had time to install it on his deck yet, that was this weekends job. Why he needed a spa he had no idea but he had always wanted one so when Sarah's husband managed to get him one on the cheap he jumped at the opportunity. He was looking forward to being able to come home from work, grab a beer and jump in the spa to relax. This is the life he thought to himself.

Oliver's tired voice pulled him back to reality.

"Hey, um Sammy?"

"Yeah?"

"About this weekend..."

"Why do i have the feeling you are about to pull out on me?" He had roped Oliver into helping him out with the bribe of coffee and lunch on him for a whole week because he couldn't physically move the whole damn thing by himself.

"I'm really sorry but Izzy was up all last night with the stomach bug and Zoe is working all weekend so I have to take care of Izzy. I'm really sorry man"

"It's ok, I get it but don't think I am still buying you coffee or lunch"

"Haha, i wouldn't have it any other way"

"I guess I'll see you on Monday then"

"Yeah, bye Sammy"

Shit. Now who was going to help him move it?

He finished up with the paperwork on his desk and walked over to where the roster was pinned on the bulletin board. As he scanned the list he saw that Gail and Chris both had leave and Dov, Tracy and Jerry were all working. Crap. That only left one. Andy McNally. He knew she wouldn't have the upper body strength to help move it but she wasn't exactly weak either. He recalled the last time they had boxed together just over a week ago. She had managed to get a few good punches in there including one to his stomach which had left a bruise, and anyways, he loved spending time with her outside of work.

He wasn't sure when their friendship had turned from something work-releated to more than that. Maybe it was the night of the blackout, the images of her hands on his body still vivid in his memory. They way her hands set fire to his skin. They way the moment her lips touched his made him forget to breathe. Or perhaps it was the first time she got shot, his heart literally stopping while he watched it happen. The way she was forced to the ground by the momentum of the bullet. The look on her face as she helplessly tried to suck in air. The way his heart thumped so loudly in his chest while was checking for bullet wounds that he was sure she would hear it. The wave of relief that washed over him when he realized the bullet was stuck in her vest.

She made him laugh and he loved the way she smiled, her good mood always europhic to others around them. He loved the smell of her shampoo and hand cream, a mix of vanilla, strawberries and spring blossoms. He could always tell when she entered room, the delicious scent of her always leaving him light headed and wanting to get up real close to smell it. He loved her always optimistic attitude even in the face of experience and reality. He loved her smile. He loved her laugh. He loved her eyes. He loved her. What the hell? Where had that come from? Oh, who was he kidding? He did love her, even though he would never admit it to anyone let alone her. He wasn't entirely sure how a doe-eyed rookie had managed to weasel her way into his heart but all it had taken was 2 years. 2 years for her to break down the sky-high walls he had spent his lifetime putting up. These were the images that sometimes plagued his nightmares, causing him to wake up shaking and drenched in a cold sweat. Just the mere thought of loosing her made him become nauseous and weak.

Seeing her walk across the bullpen he called out to her.

Hearing her name she turned around and when she saw it was him, her megawatt smile made an appearance. This made his heart flutter slightly. Walking over to her he told himself be cool Sammy, just friends helping out friends.

"Hey McNally, um" He wasn't quite sure how to phrase the question "I need a hand with something this weekend"

"Sam I already told you, I am not filling in your paperwork for you, again. I already spent my last day off trying to fill out overdue reports and deciphering your poorly written notes and besides, I have a hot date with my sweat pants and tv"

"Actually it's something non-work related"

"Oh, well what is it then?" She tried her best to hide the eagerness in her voice, at this point she would say yes to anything that involved spending time with Sam outside of work.

"Well, I, ah, I got a new spa and I need some help moving it and installing it on my deck?"

"Yeah, sure" He was surprised at how easy she had given in, he thought he was going to have to bribe her with food or something.

"Ok, great. Say about 2pm tomorrow?"

"Yep sounds good. On one condition though" Here we go he thought, we was waiting for her to name her price

"I want to have a relaxing spa afterwards, with you, and you have to give me a foot massage" She wasn't sure if she had gone too far with the foot massage thing but she was reassured by the smug look on his face that her comment produced.

"I think that can be arranged" He was not expecting to hear what she just said but he played cool and went along with it. This was going to be an interesting Saturday afternoon.

"OK, I'll see you tomorrow then" She replied, the huge grin still on her beautiful face.

"I look forward to it McNally"

She walked away with an extra sway in her hips which he didn't fail to notice. He was spending a lot of time staring at her lately. Shit. He was in trouble now. He was already having a hard time controlling himself, how the hell was he gonna be able to do it with her in a spa bath with him sitting next to her and her in very little clothing? That made his heart race. He was picturing in his head now just how perfect she would look in a one piece bathing suit, all that tan and toned skin on display.

Forcing himself to concentrate on the stack of paperwork he still had on his desk, he couldn't stop thinking about how perfect she would look in swimming togs.


That night Traci and Andy were having a girls night in. With the alcohol flowing and very little food, Andy casually revealed her plans for the weekend.

"You are what?" was Traci's shocked response.

"It's just installing a spa, not like a date or anything" she shot back, surprisingly defensive

"Not a date? You are going to be sitting in a spa with him afterwards, both of you wearing very little clothing and him giving you a foot massage! How is that not a date?"

"Oh, that reminds me, I need your advice on what bathing suit to wear" She was trying really hard to deflect Traci's questions.

Andy jumped off the couch and disappeared into her bathroom, only to appear a few minutes later wearing a blue one-piece bathing suit.

"What do you think about this one?" She asked Traci, giving her a quick twirl.

"It's nice but it sort of gives off a more of a mum vibe if you know what I mean. Oh, and don't think I didn't notice you changing the subject"

"Yeah yeah, whatever, it's fine. Just a mate helping out a mate"

"Are you sure that's all it is Andy. Cause I sort of got the impression you want to be more than just 'mates'?"

Andy was quick to avoid the question though, returning to her room to try on the next bathing suit.

She emerged 5 minutes later wearing a bikini. It was stunning to say the least. Simple, yet elegant it was black with gold circles connecting the straps to the top half. She didn't think Andy even owned anything like this.

"So" she asked nervously "What do you think?"

"Andy, it looks amazing"

"Really, you think so?"

"Yeah definitely"

"Because Ive had it in my wardrobe ever since buying it a few years back but Ive just never gotten the chance to wear it"

"Andy? It isn't exactly something you would wear if it was just a 'mate helping out a mate' though, is it?"

"OK, so maybe I kinda want to, I don't know, impress him or something" Traci let out a huge giggle when she heard this

"Well he will definitely be impressed if you wear this"

"Thanks Traci. Right, now that we have that sorted we can move on to more pressing issues"

"Like what?"

"Well for starters we need a another bottle of wine" Andy held up the empty bottle they had managed to finish in a little under 2 hours and they both cracked up laughing.


So let me know if you would like to see another chapter of this!
