Nick slammed the door to his apartment, how could he be this stupid? Sara was with Grissom, he thought over and over again. She wasn't interested him, she loved Gilbert Grissom. He paced his apartment as thoughts raced through his mind he went over every scenario possible in his head but in everyone Sara chose Grissom, what did he have to offer that Grissom didn't? A loud pounding at his door interrupted his thoughts, he walked toward the door and looked through the peephole (a/n I think that's what those things are called), damn it was Sara, was should he do?

"Nick I know you're in there, Nicky, open the door, I need to talk to you! Nicky I am not leaving this doorway until you let me in!" He heard Sara yell. He couldn't face her, how the hell could he explain running away from her like that? How could he explain why he was there in the first place? Oh I'm sorry I was just going to tell you I love you and risk our friendship but I see that your with Grissom so I am going to leave and great now everything is weird between us and exactly what I was trying to avoid happened so see you at work tomorrow?

Nick went into his bedroom hoping she wouldn't stay there long. She did have to eat sometime right? He collapsed into his mattress wondering just when everything became so complicated. He slowly drifted to sleep wondering if Sara was still standing at his front door. Nick woke him to his stomach growling with hunger, he was supposed to go out and pick up some food to eat until…why hadn't he eaten? Sara! He had forgotten about her for a second, stubborn as she was, she refused to leave his front door. He quickly put on some coffee, and looked through the peephole, she was still there and she was sleeping. She looked uncomfortable, but who wouldn't be? Sleeping against a door isn't exactly the best place to sleep in any circumstances. He instantly felt bad for making her sit out there, he should have known that she would stay there until she let him in I mean she is the most stubborn person he had ever met in his life. After thinking over the previous events that had taken place, maybe he should let her explain before he jumped to his conclusions, he was her friend and she should have a chance to defend herself before he closed himself off to her. He quickly unlocked his door with its twenty locks, he could never be too careful after all the things he went through. He then grabbed his coffee as a sign of truce and gently opened the door making sure he didn't hurt her. He offered her coffee and brought her inside.

"Sara you are crazy, you do know that right?" Nick laughed as she made a comment about remembering to never sleep in a door way again no matter who the guy it is. An awkward silence replaced the previous laughter, Nick craved to tell her everything but suddenly his voice seemed to disappear and all words escaped his mental capacity. He quickly claimed the other cup of coffee from his kitchen and gave it to her trying to figure out what exactly to say next.

"So what brings to my door this time of day, did Grissom have plans with some insects that he couldn't rearrange so I was the next best thing?" Nick's words bite into her, her heart broke a little every time she looked at the pained expression on his face and his eyes…they held something, a sadness she could not describe, was she too late? Nick watched as her expression changed as his words hit her. He expected her to be angry and call him out like they always did when one pissed the other off. He was surprised to see that he saw anything but anger on her face, he immediately regretted his words. "Sar, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I just thought that, I don't know, you felt the same way about me that I do about you." Nick started but then he remembered why they were in this position in the first place, Grissom.

Would you be my girlfriend?
I like you, right
Would you be my girlfriend?
I don't know why you care
He doesn't even know your name, no
'Cause he don't love your eyes
And he don't love your smile
Girl you know that ain't fair

"Sara I just don't understand how you could be with him after all those years he kept rejecting you and treating you like dirt. He expected you to wait for him all of these years and I guess he was right and I hope he is worth the seven years of waiting and him coming and going as he pleases, walking all over you. Sara he is no better than the rest of the guys you've dated." Sara opened her mouth to speak but Nick quickly cut her off. "Let me finish because if I stop I won't tell what I've needed to tell you for the past year. Sara I don't know what you see in those other guys, you deserve to be treated like a queen, after what you have been through I think you are the most incredibly strong, bravest person that I have ever met."

In the middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side?

Or will he run and hide?
You don't know 'Cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry Is he gonna stand by your side?
Does your man even Know you're alive?
I got an idea
Would you be my girlfriend?
I'd treat you good
I know you hear your friend
When they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you

Where you are
Girl you should be

My girlfriend

"Nicky…" Sara looked at him, he felt the same way she did. Her heart melted as she listened to his rant, he needed to get it all off his chest. She watched his mouth move, she tried focusing on what he was saying, all she wanted to do was smother his lips with hers and tell him that she wants him, that she needs him more than anything.

"Sara, Grissom will never love you like I love you, I would never hurt you or make you face things alone, Sara I would do anything for you but I understand that you choose Grissom but I need you to know that I think that it's a mistake and now I feel like an idiot and like I just ruined everything between us." Nick finally stopped ranting giving her a chance to explain to him that she didn't choose Gris.

Does he know what you feel?
Are you sure that it's real?
Does he ease your mind
Or does he fake your stride?
Did you know that Love could be a shield?

Middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side
Or will he run and hide?
You don't know
'Cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side?
Does your man even
Know you're alive?
I got an idea
Would you be my girlfriend?
I'd treat you good
I know you hear your friend
When they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you
Where you are
Girl you should be
My girlfriend

"Nick just listen to me for a minute ok? I'm not with Grissom any more I broke up with him, that's what you saw earlier. I love you Nicky, I have for awhile. I said yes to Grissom because I was so shocked that he even asked me I didn't have the heart to turn him down and after awhile I didn't know how to tell him that I didn't feel that way towards him anymore. Well that and the fact that I never thought that you would ever feel the same way about me." Nick laughed when she said that Sara stared at him like he was crazy.

"I thought the exact same thing, I never ever thought that you would ever date me in a million years." Sara joined in the laughter, showing Nick the most genuine smile he has seen in a very long time. "I missed that, you should smile and laugh more often, I love your smile more than anything." Sara blushed at his comment but her unique smile remained plastered on her face. "Did Miss Sara Sidle admit that she loves me?"

"You better believe it cowboy, what do you plan on doing about it?" Sara asked him mimicking his southern twang.

"This, little lady" Nick gently captured her lips in his, slowly growing more passionate. Nick traced his tongue along her lower lip requesting entrance into her mouth which Sara eagerly responded by opening her mouth as he explored every facet, massaging her tongue with his. When oxygen became an issue they broke apart. "I love you Sara Sidle" he whispered breathlessly in her ear. Her lips tingled with the taste of Nick still fresh; she leaned in as he gently placed a few butterfly kisses on her lips,

"I love you too Nicky" She cuddled up to his side, placing her head on his hard chest as he stroked her brown hair.

Ever since I saw your face

Nothing in my life has been the same
I walk around just saying your name

Without my world would end, yeah
Look around this old damn place

And everything's as If you were meant to be

My girlfriend

"I don't know if this is a stupid question or not after all of that but Sara will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course Nicky, I would love to your girlfriend, I think this means that Catherine wins the bet then."

"They bet on us?" Nick asked with a look of disbelief, "How did they even know?"

"Grissom even knew, he's the one who convinced me to tell you how I feel and to remind you that you are a very lucky man."

"Wow Grissom knew? That just makes us look bad. I'll tell him tomorrow that I know that I am the luckiest man in the world. Everyone really knew before us?" Sara laughed as he shook his head shamefully.

"Yes they did Nicky, even Grissom, I guess it's true what they say, love is blind, that and apparently we were really obvious and as Grissom put it, annoyingly naïve."

Would you be my girlfriend?
I'd treat you good
I know you hear your friend
When they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you

Where you are
Girl you should be

My girlfriend
