Chapter 4
Outside the cabin
"What are you doing here?" Chuck was in complete shock.
"I told you the other day that I was going on a trip with some friends. Are you here to spy on me or something?" Lou asked seriously.
"Spying? Me?" Chuck laughed a little. "Why would I do that? In fact, I had completely forgotten that you were going on a trip with friends. You never told me where you were going."
"Do you expect me to believe that explanation?" Lou raised her voice. "I saw you came with your ex-girlfriend. I can't believe you are cheating on me!" Lou was screaming now.
Meanwhile inside the cabin Sarah heard a woman shouting and rushed out to find out what was going on.
When she saw it was Lou who screamed, her eyes widened and her agent mode kicked in.
"Lou? What are you doing here?" Sarah was very curious now.
"I could ask you the same thing. Didn't he break up with you? Oh my god, did you lie to me about breaking up with her, Chuck?" Lou was clearly hurt now and wanted to run away. But Chuck owned her an explanation for this.
"No I didn't lie about that Lou. It's very complicated…" he started.
"I don't want to hear excuses, Chuck. Tell me the truth." Lou was furious now.
Chuck looked at Sarah with one expression on his face. Help me out here!
"We are here only as friends Lou, please believe me when I say that." Sarah didn't want to say that but it was the best for the situation.
"Why should I believe anything you say? You just want him back." Lou waving her hands towards Sarah.
Sarah silenced for a second which didn't go unnoticed on Chuck and Lou.
"I knew it." Lou said and started running away.
Chuck glanced at Sarah with a questioning look.
"Why didn't you say something?" Chuck asked Sarah when he started running after Lou.
Because I do want you back. Sarah thought for herself and started running after Chuck.
After running a couple of minutes Chuck stopped as he couldn't see Lou anywhere.
"Chuck. Don't run away from me again. I need to know where you are at all time."
"I'm sorry, but I need to find Lou and explain this to her."
"No, don't do that."
"Why?" Chuck was confused.
Sarah didn't say anything. She looked down on the ground.
"Is there any reason why I shouldn't talk to her?" Chuck looked at Sarah.
"Yes it is. She is clearly hurt and if you go and talk to her, it will only upset her more." Sarah didn't want to tell Chuck the real reason like this, she wanted to do when everything was perfect.
"Maybe you're right. I don't even know where her cabin is." Chuck let out a smile.
"Let's go back to our cabin then." Sarah smiled back.
Cabin
"Wow this cabin is really nice." Chuck said walking inside.
Chuck looked around. The cabin was divided into several rooms and contained kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and a large living room with a fireplace and a large television hanging on the wall.
Chuck carried the food they bought in the grocery store into the kitchen while Sarah carried their bags into the bedroom.
After Chuck was finished with putting the food and other stuff they bought in the right place he sat down in front of the TV.
Sarah came out of the bedroom at joined him on the couch.
"You up for watching a movie?" Chuck asked.
Sarah stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen without saying anything.
It was not so late and he really wanted to watch a movie so he retrieved one movie he had brought along in his bag.
When he got back to the living room, Sarah was sitting on the couch with popcorn in her lap.
"So you wanted to watch a movie?" Chuck asked.
Sarah only nodded and smiled.
"You know what would be fun too? If you would answer me when I asked you something." raising his eyebrows in the process.
Suddenly Sarah burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Chuck asked.
"You sounded like.." She started.
"You will regret this." Chuck said and started to tickle her.
"Nooo, Chuuuuck, please stop! I …know…. a…dozen….ways….to…..hurt…..you"
"Then why don't you?"
"I can't stop laughing."
Finally Chuck stopped tickling her and looked into her eyes. They stared at each other for several seconds before Chuck coughed.
"Movie?" He said clearing the air a bit.
"Sure. Which movie do you got?" Sarah asked.
"Independence day." He said and raised his eyebrows.
"No Chuck, not an action movie! Don't we get enough action on a regularly basis?" She said and giggled.
"Good point. Then what do you want to watch?" He asked sincerely.
"I brought a movie myself actually." She said and started walked back to the bedroom.
"Really? Which one?" Chuck asked and thought for himself that maybe he get to see something real about Sarah.
"Wait and see." She shouted from the bedroom.
Finally Sarah came back and sat down beside him and handed him the film.
"Seriously? This one?" Chuck asked.
"What's wrong with love actually?" Sarah asked looking at him.
"Nothing, just didn't know you liked that kind of movies." and smiled.
"How so?"
"Just thought you were more into action and thrillers."
Chuck put the DVD into the DVD-player and started the movie.
She sat down next to Chuck and to Chuck's big surprise she actually snuggled closer to him. He then took a slight advantage of the situation and slid his hand around her shoulder so she would be more comfortable. She rested one hand on his chest.
Next thing she knew she was stroking him. She didn't meant to do it, but it felt so natural and right.
Chuck on the other hand, liked what Sarah was doing, but thought it was more of an act. He was wondering why she was doing it while they were alone?
Half hour later….
To Chuck's big surprise, Sarah had fallen asleep in the middle of the movie. She looks so peaceful sleeping Chuck thought for himself. And beautiful like an angel from heaven. He started removing her hair away from her face. Sarah felt it and woke up from her sleep.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." Chuck said whispering to her ear.
"Chuck? What happened?" Sarah didn't really know.
"You fell asleep. I guess you were tired." He said smiling.
"But I'm supposed to look after you. I can't fall asleep like that." Sarah stood up from the couch and started pacing towards the bedroom. Chuck started walking after her.
When he got to the bedroom Sarah was unpacking her suitcase.
"Sarah.. It's okay. You can't be awake 24/7. Just relax." He said taking one of her hands and smiled at her. His touch made her involuntary shiver. How can he have this effect on me? Doesn't he know what he's doing to me?
"Thank you." She said smiling back.
"For what?" He asked curiously.
"For being you." Now they were smiling towards each other. "I think I'll go and brush my teeth now. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere."
"I won't."
After Sarah was finished in the bathroom, she walked back to the bedroom ready for bed. But when she got in she was surprised seeing Chuck with a pillow and bed sheet under his arm.
"Where do you think you're going?" She asked looking at the pillow.
"I'll take the couch so you could have some privacy." He said like it was the most naturally thing in the world.
"Oh no you don't. I need you close so I could keep an eye on you." Sarah was serious now.
"It's ten feet away Sarah. I seriously doubt someone is coming looking for me in the middle of the night."
"Chuck.." She started.
"That's final, Sarah." He said using a firm voice and walked towards the living room and the couch.
"Fine!" Sarah said angrily and slammed the bedroom-door shut. It took a couple of hours before either of them could get any sleep that night.
Middle of the night
Sarah was suddenly wide awake. She heard something outside. Is someone here to take Chuck from me? She took out her gun from under the pillow and ran out of the bedroom and into the living room. Chuck was not laying on the couch. His pillow and sleepwear was there but no Chuck. Sarah felt her heart beating faster. Where are you Chuck? I have failed. Someone have taken him away from me. But she didn't have any time to start crying.
Another sound came from the front porch. Sarah could see a shadow moving outside. The person was trying to open the door to the cabin. She aimed her gun towards the door ready to shoot whoever came through that door.
The door went open and the person was walking backwards into the cabin.
"Freeze!" Sarah screamed towards the person.
"Don't shoot! It's only me." The voice said.
"Chuck?" Sarah raised her eyebrows and started lowering her gun a bit.
The man turned around. "Yes it's me." Chuck said with his hands raised over his head.
"You scared the crap out of me!" Sarah screamed at him.
"I scared you? Seriously? I thought you wasn't afraid of anything." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Where the hell have you been? I told you not to go anywhere without me." She then ran towards Chuck and hugged him tight.
After what seemed as forever..
"Sarah? I can't breathe." Chuck managed to utter out.
"Oh, sorry. But where have you been?" She was still furious at him although she was really glad he was okay.
"I'm sorry Sarah. I could let my mind of Lou so I called her earlier. Luckily she picked up." When Sarah didn't say anything he continued. "I had to explain myself and she agreed to met me outside and talk."
"So you went out to talk to her?" Sarah said trying desperately to hide her disappointment.
"Yes. I finally got the chance to explain myself.." Chuck couldn't say anything more before Sarah interrupted him.
"You told her about everything. How could you be so stupid Chuck!" Sarah said before Chuck then interrupted her back.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down. I didn't mention anything about you or Casey, CIA, NSA or the Intersect."
Sarah sighed a sigh of relief. "Thank god. What did you tell her then?"
"I told her that we are just good friends and that she had nothing to worry about and that I slept on the couch. But of course she wondered why I would bring my ex-girlfriend to a cabin. That wasn't easy to explain."
"So what did you say?" Sarah was generally wondering.
"Well, I said that my best friend already had plans and that you offered to go with me as friends."
Sarah felt her heart skip a beat when Chuck said the word friends. Don't you know that you are so much more than that to me? Sarah let her mind wonder for a little time.
"Sarah?" Chuck started to get a little worried when she didn't respond.
"What?" Sarah then realised she zoned of for a couple seconds.
"Are you okay? Maybe you should get some sleep. I told Lou that she could come over in the morning and have breakfast with us so she could see that everything was fine. Is that okay?" Chuck asked her.
I don't want that bitch anywhere near you. You are mine! She thought for herself. But for now it was about keeping a happy smile.
"Yeah, that sounds great." She answered making a fist in her hand.
"Great. We talk tomorrow. Good night!" Chuck said and was ready to lay back down on the couch.
"Oh no you don't" Sarah then said. "You are not sleeping on the couch. You are coming back to bed with me so I can keep an eye on you. No questions!" Sarah said using a firm voice and started dragging him with his shirt towards the bedroom and Chuck barely managed taking the sleepwear with him.
"Lay down." She then said.
"Yes ma'am." Chuck answered a little shocked but with a little joke. Sarah smiled at him. She then laid down besides him. Before she shut off the light off she kissed him on the cheek. "Good boy." She said and turned around facing away from Chuck.
Next morning
Sarah was starting to wake up and turned around looking for the man she always want to wake up to. But he was not in the bed. She sat up in the bed and looked around the room. No Chuck. Oh not again. She thought for herself and got out of bed and putted on a bathrobe and started walked towards the kitchen looking for Chuck. She could smell something. It smelled like breakfast. She stopped at the entrance to the kitchen and looked at the man she wanted standing at the sink making breakfast. He was not wearing anything but a pair of sweatpants. His upper body was more toned than she could remember. She mentally updated her own fantasy in her head and started walking towards him. She was now standing behind him without him noticing. She then walked up next to him and she started stroking his back. Chuck jumped at the sudden touch by one ms. Walker.
"Hey. You startled me." He said looking at her face.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to. " She said looking back at him.
Suddenly Chuck dropped the knife he was holding and cut himself on his finger.
"Ouch." He started bleeding. Sarah quickly took out the first aid kit she had brought with them and cleaned the wound and put a little patch on it.
"There. Everything's fine." She said smiling.
"Thank you. I'm glad you are here with me Sarah." Chuck said and those words made Sarah's heart beating faster.
"There's is nowhere else I'd rather be." She started stroking his hair.
"I better go and put a shirt on." He said excusing himself and walked back to the bedroom.
You don't need that. She thought for herself watching him walk away.
When Chuck came back he continued getting breakfast ready.
"I'll better go and get dressed." She said excusing herself.
When she was getting her clothes ready she heard a knock on the front door.
"Chuck wait for me!" She shouted.
"It's okay Sarah. It's Lou." He shouted back.
Lou. She couldn't like that women. Sure, she was nice and all but she wanted her Chuck and that was not something she could cope with. Suddenly she came up with a plan to make sure Lou would run away. At least a temporary plan.
She started smiling while going back towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile at the front door….
"Hi Lou. Glad you came." He said and went in for a hug.
"Me too." She answered eventually breaking the hug.
Lou started walking in but stopped and widened her eyes at the sight in front of her. Chuck noticed that Lou stopped and asked what was wrong. Chuck started looking in the direction Lou was looking and his own eyes widened at the same sight.
Sarah was walking into the kitchen with her bathrobe hanging loose showing her black bra and panties and very toned stomach….. "Hi Lou." She said looking at Chuck and Lou.
