"What are you wearing?" Sara Sidle asked after seeing Nick walk into the locker room wearing a pink and purple striped shirt with lime green pants.
"My toilet backed up over night flooding my apartment. The floors are rotted and are dangerous because of water damage. I couldn't get to my closet my neighbor lent me some of his."
"And he's what a pimp circus clown maybe." A laughing Sara replied
"Sara it's not funny."
Biting her lip Sara tried to stop herself from laughing. "Sorry Nick that's too bad about your place where are you going to stay."
"Hotel." Replies Nick when he sees Sara's inquisitive look he ads. "Working nights means I can only stay with other night shifters Warrick's married, Catherine has a kid,
Greg or Hodges not even worth thinking about."
"You forgot someone." Replies Sara.
"Grissom" Nick shudders "with the bugs no thank you I rather pay for a hotel."
"Nick I meant you could bunk on my couch." Sara can't understand why he hadn't considered asking her.
Nick pauses he surprised she offered and not sure it's a great idea "Sara thanks I know you like your space I loved to but are you sure it would be okay."
"No problem Nick but I don't cook so I hope you like take out."
"Pizza's good." Nick replied. They have never spent much time alone together outside of work. He wasn't sure if he was more worried that they would get along or that they wouldn't.
"Oh Nick by the way you might want to spend the money you save on the hotel on a couple of new outfits." Sara giggles as she leaves.
