Ch1: Waking Up

Nick woke up sore and extremely hung-over. He looked around the room and realized he wasn't home, he didn't know where he was. Nick felt nauseas and tried to sit up when he felt a cold metal restraint on his right wrist.

"What the hell?" he groaned squinting at the sun light, he tried to remember the night before and just remembered going to the bar. He scanned the room again, while trying to free his hand from the handcuff which was tangled in the bed frame. Finally his hand was free, he was in the bed alone his partner was in the shower, and some people were outside in the living room.

Nick couldn't remember where he was or how he got there. He found his boxers and pants and put them on slowly.

His brain felt like acid mush, he looked at himself in the mirror and kind of smiled at his appearance, he had a hickey on his neck and scratches on his back, sides, and his shoulders. He also had a bite on his clavicle, his hair was a mess, but the black eye made his smile disappear.

Nick continued to search for his shirt and his jacket, and then he heard the water turn off in the shower. He looked under the bed, and stood up he held the end table to keep his balance. A picture fell off the table falling so you couldn't see the photo. Once he went to look at it his phone rang which made his head hurt tremendously bad.

"... Stokes" he whispered

"hey Nicky how are you feeling?" Catherine said which sounded like she was screaming on the phone

"ahhh, not so loud I have a headache"

"...hangover? Well we need you today so shake it off champ"

"yea... I'll be there in a few" he groaned he hung up the phone, and returned to the picture. He picked it up; it was a picture of Hodges and Wendy at the star quest convention. The door creaked open a little but sounded like a gunshot to Nick.

Nick spun around, to see Wendy wrapped in a towel her skin shiny from the water, and the room filled with a sweet aroma of strawberries. And there Nick stood shirtless and confused, Wendy looked away embarrassed as did Nick.

"Umm do you know where my shirt is?" he said chuckling a bit trying desperately to break the awkward silence. He looked up at Wendy she has two hickeys on her neck and one on her breast that was almost covered by the towel.

"Umm hold on let me get dress," Wendy said making her way to her dresser. She loosened her towel and looked back at Nick who was mesmerized by how unbelievably beautiful she looked.

"Oh, I umm, I... I umm" Nick stuttered lostly. He looked away; as soon as he did he realized what happened.

They slept together out of a drunken bliss, Nick was the assistant supervisor and Wendy was a lab tech. Nick shook his head in disbelief, Nick knew the boundaries at the lab.

Hell, he thought he would hook up with Mandy or Catherine before Wendy. Wendy was unofficially Hodges girl and off limits not like Nick would try but he already had.

"Umm, I'm going to see if my shirt is out here" Nick stood up and walked to the door.

"Nooooo..." Wendy said running in front of him blocking the door, she wasn't fully dressed only wearing a tank top and her underwear. He looked at her confused.

"Why can't I go out there?" he said moving his arm and Wendy saw the bite mark on his clavicle.

"Oh my" she whispered lightly touching his chest and circling the mark.
