A/N: So if there's more than one chapter to this story do I have to say I dont own Nick or the lab in everyone? Guess I'm glad this is the last chapter of this one then.
"I really don't feel comfortable doing this" Katie spoke as she grabbed his pillow putting it under her chest as she leaned over the pillow.
"I told you, you don't have to go, and I'm coming home early just to see you wake up in my bed" he selected a shirt from his closet
"That sounded just a tad stalkerish"
"It sounded better in my head" Nick agreed "But you'll be here when I get back?"
"I don't think I have a choice, I mean if I leave then I know someone will become so obsessed with me they start stalking" she teased and he paused in front of her looking down.
"And then the stalker would kidnap you and have his way with you"
"That I wouldn't mind"
"I'll see you after I'm done work" his hand found its way onto her head caressing her cheek and bent down to kiss her.
"Hurry back"
"You know I meant what I said before" he turned serious
"I know"
"Ouch, okay miss attention to details how did you know?" he sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her answer.
She sat up grabbing the sheet so it wouldn't slip and reveal her goodies.
"You know that song More Than Words by Extreme that came out in the 80's?"
"Vaguely"
"Well I already know you love me with the things you do for me, you waited until I was ready – okay well I think our schedules had a part in that but you never once pushed in all the times I've been over and even tonight you asked if I was sure. You hand delivered flowers to my office last week which a normal guy would have had them delivered through courier, its just the little things that you do tell me you love me"
"And?"
"And what?" she smiled knowing what he was looking for.
"Never mind" he stood a little ticked that she wouldn't say it back
"If you know the song then I don't have to tell you I love you, you should already know"
"Never hurts to hear it" he stood at the doorway
"I love you Nick" she said her voice full of tears and she wiped one away
"Saying I love you shouldn't make you cry" he was back over to the bed on her side wiping away the tears that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"You have no idea how much I love you and I'm afraid something's going to happen that will break us apart it's happened every time"
"This times different"
"How?"
"I can just feel it" he slipped his arms around her as her crying settled.
"Nothing's going to break us apart, I wont let it. We can talk about this when I get back okay?" she nodded against his shoulder and pulled away
"That's my girl" his hand found its way to the side of her face again and kissed her again.
Getting up off the bed he looked at her a final time before he left.
Eating a slice of the leftover pizza she found in the fridge, chewing silently in the kitchen she noticed a brown bag sitting on the counter, her curiosity overtook the thought of leaving it alone.
The contents held an apple, banana and a sandwich.
Did Nick forget his lunch?
She better take it too him, he didn't need take out twice in a row.
Nick smiled as heard his name being paged over the intercom that he had a visitor. For once he knew exactly who it was, it had been set up. He was thrown for a loop when he saw a woman in oversized pants and sweatshirt.
"Nick Stokes. Can I help you?" the woman turned around and smiled he motioned her outside so eavesdropping ears wouldn't overhear.
"Are you wearing my clothes?" was the first question he asked her once outside
"Ya, putting the clothes that you undressed me back on didn't feel right. I'll wash them before you wear them again"
"I kinda like the look of you in my clothes"
"I kinda like wearing your clothes" their eyes met and held until Nick was the one to break it away
"Did you leave my apartment unlocked?"
"No I grabbed the spare keys by the door, I hope you don't mind"
"Of course not, what if I said you could keep them?"
"I'd say thank you" she stifled a yawn
"Wait what are you doing here?" the bag in her hand coming into question
"You forgot this on the counter, when I woke up and grabbed a slice of pizza I noticed it"
"Now what if I said I made that on purpose to get you to come here?"
"So this isn't your lunch?" she asked confused
"No I took some pizza" Nick grinned
"That pizza just keeps on giving doesn't it?"
"It does"
"Why would you want me here?" she asked bringing the topic back to why she was here
"So you would grab my keys and I could tell you to keep them" her head cocked to the side staring at him in disbelieve.
"What happened to here's a set of my keys?"
"The expressions' overused?"
"I don't know whether to smack you or kiss you senseless" Katie crossed her arms looking at him as if she was mad, his face changed until he was almost pouting and followed her to the bench she sat down at.
"I'd prefer to be kissed senseless if that helps your decision any" she looked up at him smiling
"I think I'll hold off on my answer until you get home"
"Well I'm pretty sure that I know my answer if you're going to be in my bed when I get home"
"You're a cocky little bastard aren't you?"
"I can't help it, it's how I was raised"
"I should get going, let you get back to solving crimes, saving the city" she stood taking the bag with her.
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Umm eventually going to sleep why?"
"Do you want to get together?"
"We'll see Mr. Stokes it all depends on how you butter me up"
"I'm willing to buy whipped cream or chocolate sauce" that comment made her laugh and paused when she reached her car.
"I'm sure you would"
"Hey can I have that bag, I'm kinda hungry"
"I was going to eat it but sure" she walked back over to him handing him the bag, hiding a smile
"What did you do to it?" he asked opening the bag
"Added a little something" she reached up and kissed him on the cheek before walking back to her car and getting in, he watched her before looking into the bag. Inside he noticed everything that was supposed to be there plus two; a note and a set of keys.
The note reading
'Just in case you forget yours'
It was a set of her keys.
A/N: This was the orginal intention of the first chapter but it got away from me.
