Sarah woke up and unlike her lazy morning self; she shot out of bed and got straight to the shower. She took her normal 20-minute shower and shortened it to 5. After brushing her teeth and blow-drying her hair, she bounded downstairs to get a cup of Joe's blend coffee. Mmmmm… how refreshing. But of course, anything tasted good when anticipating a date with the gorgeous Chuck Bartowski. Sarah made a mental list of things she needed to accomplish during the day:

Laundry

Groceries

Lunch with Casey at Castle

Mission briefing with Beckman

Pick up dry-cleaning

Get ready

Go on date with Chuck!

She hurried upstairs and shoved all her clothes into the washing machine, not even measuring how much detergent she poured into the tray. Then, she ran out the door with her wallet, keys, and reusable grocery bag.

Before she knew it, it was already 5pm. She knew Chuck was getting her at 7, so she went to go get ready. She splashed her face, then grabbed all her make-up compacts and rushed to her vanity.

She stared at herself in the mirror. She truly felt beautiful in her turquoise dress and peach eye shadow. It was clear the date was only for cover purposes, but she somehow was still excited. It was such a wonder to her how someone like, well, like Chuck could make a super spy like her go nuts. She couldn't wait until she got to see him again, it was like he was a siren and she was a helpless lovesick sailor. Well, this is probably the most normal it'll ever get for me… she thought. She checked her watch. It was 6:55. Chuck was always early… it was just his thing. Sarah stared longingly at the door until a buzz interrupted her thoughts.

"Come on up!" she said into the buzzer. A few seconds later, a tall man was standing in her doorframe.

"I missed you!" He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into a big hug. "Wow, you look… absolutely gorgeous!" And that was the understatement of the century. Sarah smiled, completely warm and at home in his arms. She never really felt not beautiful… or at least recently… but he made her heart leap into her mouth. She stared into his bedroom eyes, melting her and breaking all the granite walls she set up over the years.

"So, shall we?" Sarah asked.

"Of course! Your gonna LOVE what I have planned for you tonight!" He did a Bartowski eyebrow dance.

15 minutes later they were sitting in a small Chinese food place downtown. Sarah stared at Chuck eyes saying 'seriously?'.

"Oh, no worries Sarah, I have a surprise for you" Chuck stuck out his tongue. He pulled out her chair and pushed it in after she sat in it. Sarah playfully slugged him. "Ouch!" he held his arm faking a frown.

"So what's the surprise?"

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise!" a waitress approached.

"Can I interest you in any drinks tonight? And are you ready to order or do you need some more time?"

"I will have a coke, and a Roy Rodger for the lady, and we'll split the sizzling shrimp and chow-mien." The waitress scribbled some things on her notepad and left the table. Chuck smiled at Sarah and grabbed her hand under the table.

"Bro!" A familiar voice yelled. Sarah turned around; sure enough, it was Devon and Ellie.

"Hey guys!" Chuck stood up and gave his sister and Devon a big hug.

"Hi!" Sarah just stood and waved. Sarah felt her heart get heavy and sink into the dark hole known as her chest. She now had proof it wasn't a date. Sarah felt like screaming, breaking into tears, and laughing at the same time. Only Chuck could make her emotional like this. Not even the sizzling shrimp could make her feel better. Chuck was both the poison and the antidote.

Sarah opened the door to her hotel and invited Chuck in.

"Look, Sarah I know you're upset. I'm really sorry I had to bring Ellie and Devon to our 'date', its just if I didn't, then we would be too much, well, too real." Sarah pushed him into the bathroom. She was furious.

"Don't you ever say we are not real! Do you understand Chuck? This is real!" She leaned forward and they shared a long kiss. Chuck's mouth was hanging. They shared another kiss, this time more passionate. He pushed her up against the counter and she took off her dress, hinting for him to take off his shirt. The spy part of her knew she had to resist him, but her heart knew Chuck was home. Sarah pulled away. "No telling Beckman," She said panting. She slid his pants off and her panties at the same time. They enjoyed a long love session. They both laid on the tile floor of the bathroom.

"This is the BEST date EVER!" Chuck said between breaths. He turned to the side and smiled at Sarah. Sarah knew Casey would probably be watching the cameras and wondering where both of them were, so she had to end whatever was going on then.

"I agree Chuck, but what do you think Casey is going to think if he sees both of us come out of the bathroom after 45 minutes huh? And what about Beckman too? We need to keep this night a secret. As much as it pains me to say this, Chuck, you have to leave," Sarah explained. "And Chuck, you can't just use the normal bathroom door, we need to find some way to get you out unseen. Before Sarah could think twice, Chuck was out the window. "Bye, Chuck"
