"Andy I can't keep doing this." She sits across from him at her kitchen table, carefully sipping tea, "You can't just be here for me when it's convenient for you. Either you are a part of Rusty and my lives or you aren't. I can't continue letting you pick and choose when it suits you."
"Sharon," he sighs and looks down at the bottle of his favorite juice she had bought for him, "I want to be a part of your lives, believe me, I do,"
"But..." Sharon coaxes him sarcastically.
"But I don't know how to. I haven't been in a successful relationship in," he blows out a puff of air, "well, since Melinda, but even that didn't last long. Then it was just one night stands, girls that'd come home with me when I'd go out drinking. But you," he looks up from the table to Sharon, her eyes misty as she wipes away a tear that hadn't yet fallen, "you're something else. You're this beautiful, amazing, frustrating enigma that I don't ever want to let go. I just, I don't know how to treat you the way you deserve to be treated Sharon."
"Andy," she chuckles and shakes her head, extending her hand. He takes it and gives it a gentle squeeze, "I haven't been overly successful either." She continues to shake her head slowly, once again missing the 'swish' of her hair around her ears, "But for this to work we have to be here for each other. I can't have someone else like Jack in my life. Either you stay or you go. Just know that I love you no matter which you choose."
"Sharon I could never leave you." He looks up at her and smiles, watching as love fills her eyes, "You deserve a choice too." He whispers, afraid of what she'll say.
"Andy I've already made my choice." She smiles and gently pulls on his hand, leading him from the dining room to the living room, "I chose you before I knew I even had a choice."
"Thank you." He whispers and wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close and gently kissing her lips, "Dance with me?"
"Of course." She laughs, standing up on her tip-toes and kissing him back, "Music?"
"Why not?" He chuckles and grins widely as he watches her walk to the stereo and turn it on.
She laughs and cuddles into him as the music starts to play. He rocks her back and forth and she laughs, overjoyed that everything had been amended.
Caught in the riptide
I was searching for the truth
There was a reason
I collided into you
"Have I told you I love you lately?" Andy jokes, pulling her up and capturing her lips, "Because I do."
Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching for you from the endless dream
"You can stay tonight, if you're comfortable with that?"
"Hold on a minute!" He exclaims joyfully and runs out of her condo, her look of happiness instantly fading.
So many miles between us now
But you are always here with me
Nobody knows why
Nobody knows how
"I keep a spare set of clothes in my car!" He runs back in and wraps his arms around her, picking her up and holding her above his head.
"So this is what it feels like to be tall." She laughs, leaning down and kissing him deeply.
This feeling begins just like a spark
Tossing and turning inside of your heart
Exploding in the dark
"Andrew Flynn, I love you." She looks down at him, her green eyes shimmering, "Where were you all my life?"
"You know, just on the other side of a door." He laughs, carefully sitting her back down.
Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching for you from the endless dream
"You know we need to go to Taylor about this." She sighs, wrapping her arms around his waist and closing her eyes.
"I know sweetheart. Everythig will be okay because we love each other."
So many miles between us now
But you are always here with me
"So you'll stay tonight?" She opens her eyes and grins before kissing his chin and down his neck.
"Of course I will, Beautiful." He whispers, kissing the top of her head, "I'm glad we worked this out."
I find my way back to you
Back to you
