*~*~*~*
Sara was having a horrible day. It was July 3rd and she was working. Now she normally didn't mind going to work, but the night shift had just gotten a new lab tech, Andrew, who wouldn't leave Sara in peace. Every where she went he was there and he was always asking her out. It's not like Andrew wasn't a nice person, but she wasn't attracted to him. She had her heart set on winning someone else, someone to whom she had had a crush on since the moment she arrived in Las Vegas, but she was too stupid to see it due to her school girl crush on Grissom.
Today was no different; Andrew had cornered her and asked her out at least 5 times today. She looked up at the clock, only 10 minutes left in shift.
'Thank God' she thought to herself 'if only I can avoid Andrew for 10 more minutes'
She began putting the items she had been using back in their proper places. Once she was finished she headed to the locker room to grab her stuff. On the way she saw Andrew heading towards her, he hadn't noticed her yet because he was talking to Greg.
'I gotta hide' she thought 'I cannot kindly turn him down anymore today'
She immediately ducked into the door to her right, not realizing that she walked into the men's restroom.
She leaned back against the door and sighed. From where she was standing she realized she was in the restroom. She decided to go wash her face off but got the shock of her life when she saw Nick standing over the sink rinsing his face off.
"Nick, what the hell are you doing in the women's restroom?" Sara asked
Nick looked up at Sara with slight amusement in his face, "Sara, this is the men's restroom" he then pointed over to the urinals. Sara's face immediately went red with embarrassment, "so I should actually be asking why you, Miss Sidle, are in the men's restroom?"
"Oh God, I didn't even check what I was dunking into. I was trying to avoid Andrew" "Andrew, the new lab tech. Why are you trying to avoid him?" Nick asked still quite amused with Sara's predicament.
"He keeps asking me out and I've already turned him down five times today. You won't even believe the excuses I gave him; they were lame and still kept asking me"
Nick smiled one of his thousand watt smiles at her
"You better not be laughing on the inside Nick Stokes" Sara said giving him her infamous glares.
"No, I'm actually curious to what excuses you have given"
"I've told him I needed to go buy a new vacuum that I needed to go to Verizon and get my broken cell phone replaced. Let's see what else?" she paused thinking "I also told him I wanted to finish the thousand piece puzzle I started, I wanted to finish reading The First Wives Club and begin reading Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. So far, that's about it. Five excuses and he keeps asking"
Before Nick could respond the two of them heard voices coming towards the bathroom, they could make out the voices of being Andrew and Greg. Impulsively, Sara grabbed Nick and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Nick was surprised but responded; he pushed her tiny frame up against the wall. Their hands went everyone, exploring each other's bodies. Sara opened her mouth and allowed Nick's tongue to dance with hers. This was what Andrew and Greg walked into.
"Oh My God!!!!" Andrew and Greg stated at the same time.
At that comment Nick and Sara pulled apart, extremely flushed and panting.
"Andrew, Greg" Sara stated
"Uh, hi Sara" Greg replied
Sara turned to Nick and pulled him into a quick kiss 'I could so get used to this' her brain thought.
"I'll see you later Nick" she said and left the restroom, heading for her original destination, the locker room.
*~*~*~*
"So Nick, my man, what was that we just walked in on?" Greg said, teasing him
"None of your concern Greg. I'll see you two later. Have a great day and night off. Happy fourth of July" Nick said and left the bathroom.
"So, Nick and Sara" Andrew said slowly
"Yeah, isn't it great? Those two have been flirting since day one. The sexual tension between them just kept getting thicker and thicker by the day"
Greg turned to face Andrew and noticed Andrew was upset.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, it's just that I kind of had a crush on Sara" Andrew admitted
"Uh, sorry man." Greg stated "I know, how bout you come out with me tonight, going to 'Rain', get some girls, get drunk"
Andrew smiled and nodded. Still very much upset by what he witnessed earlier between Nick and Sara
*~*~*~*
Nick hurried to the locker room to grab his stuff and talk to Sara.
"Sara"
"Yeah, Nicky. Over here at my locker"
He walked over to her and noticed she was staring at some pictures tapped to her locker door. He had never noticed before, but one of the pictures taped up was of the two of them. It was taken at Lindsey's birthday party back in April. Lindsey had insisted they pose together and they had complied.
He went up to her and whispered in her ear "that's a great picture of us"
Sara felt the chills run down her spine. She turned and his lips met hers again. Nick's arms went around her waist and he pulled her closer. Sara's arms went around his neck, making sure to keep his face as close to hers as possible. When the need for breath became apparent the two broke apart, but they didn't remove their arms from each other.
"That was hot" a voice stated
Sara and Nick removed their arms from one another and turned to see Warrick and Catherine staring at them, each with an amused look on their faces.
"Catherine, Warrick. How long you two been standing there?"
"Long enough to see that hot kiss between you two" Catherine said and began pulling things from her locker. Warrick followed suit.
Nick and Sara blushed at her comment
"I have three words for you two" Warrick stated before leaving "IT'S ABOUT TIME". With that he left the locker room.
"I'm gonna have to second him on that" Catherine said "have a nice fourth of July you two" she said and left the locker room.
Nick went to his locker, opened it up and threw his forensics vest and jacket into it.
"Sara"
"Yeah"
"Breakfast?"
Sara smiled at him "you cooking?"
"Sure, come on, let's get out of here"
Nick and Sara headed out of the locker room, hand in hand, surprising workers whom they passed in the hallways.
*~*~*
End of chapter one. Here's what I've used so far. A vacuum, broken cell phone, The First Wives Club book, the fifth Harry Potter book, a 1000 piece puzzle and Sara's infamous glare.
