Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck
"Hey Carina can I ask you a question?" Chuck asked
Chuck and Carina were lying on his bed with his arm around her and her head on his chest. They had spent many a day in this position and Chuck was liking it. He thought this would just be a short fling, but he realized that he wasn't the type of guy who could just sleep with a girl right away, and so it was turning into something more. Chuck was beginning to think he was falling for Carina.
"Sure Chuck was is it?" Carina said
"Well I think we were both expecting this to be a short things until I decided to take things slow. I was just wondering if that was ok with you." Chuck said
"Yeah I am fine with it, while different from how I usually do things with men, it's a nice change of pace" Carina replied.
"Good now I don't feel so uneasy" Chuck said
"I got an idea how bout we celebrate the end of our current mission by consummating out relationship?" Carina asked
"Sounds good to me," replied Chuck
They started to make out and were starting to pick up the pace when the door opens and Awesome pokes his head in
"Hey guys you want to come out to dinner with me and Ellie?" Awesome asks
"Devon you should knock first" Ellie said
"Oh c'mon babe they weren't doing anything that serious, so you guys in?" Awesome asks
"Sure" replies Chuck
They decided to go to a Greek Restaurant that was by the hospital Awesome and Ellie worked at. They were all having a great time, the food was good and so was the conversation.
"So Carina what do you do for a living" Ellie asks
"I steal diamonds from drug smugglers," Carina answered
"Ha, ha, ha, that's real funny babe, good one" Chuck replied getting a little nervous
"I thought I would have a little bit of fun, I work at an engagement ring store at the mall," Carina answered.
"Oh awesome" Awesome said
The rest of dinner turns out to be great fun, they all learn some traditional Greek dances and by the time they leave they are all in a very good mood due to the dancing and the alcohol they consumed.
At her hotel room Sarah was cleaning up. Her place had gotten a little bit messy the past week or so and she figured cleaning might be a good way to keep her mind off Chuck and Carina. She had finally come to grips with reality; she had fallen for Chuck Bartowski, hard. This was more than a little crush, she really loved him. But now Chuck had found someone else and it was not just some random girl but a good friend of hers. Stupid, stupid, stupid, Sarah thought to herself. She needed to talk to someone about this and the only person she could think of was Casey. She did not want to do it but finally gathered up the courage and headed over to his place.
Casey was organizing his Ronald Reagan photos when she got there. Sometimes it seemed like Casey's tribute was a bit of an obsession but that was a conversation for another day.
"Casey we need to talk" Sarah said
"About what?" Casey replied.
"I'm in love with Chuck" Sarah answered
"The sky is blue" Casey replied
Sarah gave Casey a funny look before he explained.
"I was just making an obvious statement since you decided to make one" Casey said
"Very funny but I am in a jam here what do I do" Sarah said
"Well you could always tell Chuck how you feel" Casey replied
"I can't do that he is with Carina right now" Sarah said
"Oh you're one of those people," Casey said
"One of which people?" Sarah answered
"One who is afraid to go after what they want so they make excuses," Casey said
"I am not, I just don't want to break up a couple, especially when it is two of my friends" Sarah replied.
"Sure Sarah whatever you say. The way I see it the only thing you can do is tell Bartowski how you feel, that will be the only ways he knows." Casey said
Sarah knew he was right she had to tell Chuck but how? What if they were already sleeping together? As if he read her mind Casey turned to Sarah and said,
"They haven't slept together yet, they are waiting for this mission to be complete" Casey said
"How do you know that?" Sarah asked
"They were talking in Chuck's room, it is bugged remember?" Casey said
Sarah and Casey talked for a little while longer and then Sarah headed back to her place. She knew she had to tell Chuck the truth soon, she hoped that he still cared for her. He was not someone she could afford to lose. She wondered how Carina would handle the news, she may lose a friend but she knew this was something that she had to do for herself. She fell asleep that night dreaming about being in Chuck's arms.
