Thanks for the past reviews.

Chapter 6 – The Next Morning

The clock on Chuck's bandstand read 9.07am.

Sarah awoke not bothering to check the time. Her head was softly tucked in Chuck's arms. She looked at Chuck for a while and couldn't help by smile with happiness. She lightly touched his cheek, but then realised it was morning. Sarah peered over to the clock and when she saw the time, she jumped right out of bed.

The sudden movement woke Chuck, who watched as Sarah threw on a shirt belonging to him, she then realised Chuck watching over at her to which she smiled.

"Chuck, get up and get dressed pronto. We gotta get to a briefing which starts at 10.00am. I'm gonna get into the shower."

"And how about me, I need a shower too". Chuck looked at Sarah; Damn she looks sexy in my shirt. I slept with Sarah Walker; Chuck Bartowski slept with…Sarah Walker.

Sarah gave Chuck a sly smile.

"Did I say you couldn't join me?"

Chuck stared for a few moments before taking in what Sarah had just said. He quickly jumped out of bed; his move was so sudden that pain shot right through his shoulder.

"Ouch, dammit. I keep forgetting about that."

Sarah laughed before saying,

"That's we you get for being to eager Chuck." Chuck got some clothes together and headed for the bathroom with Sarah. Once at the bathroom door Sarah turns around and says to him, as she puts her finger to Chuck's lips,

"I didn't say you could join me either Chuck."

"What…" Chuck said, as he longed out that word. Sarah walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her almost hitting Chuck with the door in the process. Chuck stood there for a second and then leaned his head on the door.

I missed my chance; I could have showered with Sarah walker, my girlfriend. Can I call her my girlfriend..?

Chuck went back to his bedroom and threw himself on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He placed his hands behind his head, Chuck couldn't help but smile. Last night was magical from them both. 15 minutes passed and Sarah had finished showering, she went back to Chuck's bedroom.

"Gotta go home and change my clothes. Casey will see me in the same clothes as yesterday; he'll know something went on."

"Yeah, your right. Well I will see you at the briefing, I'm off to shower."

Chuck got up from his bed and made his way over to Sarah. Sarah watched him as he made his way to her.

"Chuck, go shower and don't be late for the briefing. I'm sure General Beckham will be angry at you being late, but watch out for Casey, he can be a….what would you call him…"

"A time freak?" Chuck interrupted.

Sarah laughed before answering, "Yes Chuck, a time freak."

Before leaving Sarah gave Chuck one last smile and exited his bedroom. Upon walking out of the bedroom Sarah was met by Ellie.

"Sarah, morning."

Sarah seemed surprised, but she was the girlfriend so it should be no great shock to for her to be exiting Chuck's bedroom.

"Ellie, morning to you too. No work today?"

"Nope, I have the day off, yet I'm still on call. I have to be at the most of times. Is Chuck awake, was just about to make breakfast. You want some?"

Sarah looked at her watch, which said 9.30am. Briefing started in 30 minutes, plus Sarah had to rush home and change her clothes.

"Ellie as much as I would love too, I can't. I woke up pretty late and now gotta rush home to change my clothes and get to work…oh and by the way Chuck is awake, but I think he was about to take a shower."

Ellie smiled before replying, "Ok, well I'll be seeing you around Sarah."

"Bye Ellie" Sarah said before leaving the apartment.

Ellie headed for Chuck's bedroom, but was greeted by him halfway.

"Morning sis."

"Morning Chuck, just saw Sarah on her way out. Good time last night?" Ellie said giving Chuck the eyebrow.

"No wait…I'm sure you two had a great time, no need to answer that?"

Chucked laughed and continued his way to the Bathroom.

Chuck was in and out of the bathroom in 15 minutes. He dashed to the kitchen, grabbed a slice of toast and headed out the door.

"Bye sis, off to work" Before Ellie could answer, Chuck was gone.

"Bye…Chuck."

Who knew life at the Buy More could be so dashing

Chuck jumped into his nerd herder and drove off, heading to the Orange Orange. Once in the Buy More car park, he parked up his car and ran over to the Orange Orange. On his way over he checked his watch, Damn almost 10.10am, Casey is gonna kill me.

Chuck rushed down to the Castle where Casey was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs,

"Well done Bartowski, you made it. But your late……" Chuck dashed passed him and sat down before interrupting him.

"I'm here now Casey, so you can stop the steam blowing out of your ears."

Sarah, who made it in time, laughed a little but tried not to make it to obvious. As the team all stood in front of the LCD screen, General Beckham appeared.

"Mr Bartowski, you're late. Don't be again."

"Gotcha General" Chuck answered.

"Tonight, your 3 will endure a stakeout. We have known counterfeit dealer entering our boarders tonight. His name is Tony Romano."

The name sparked a flash for Chuck. He saw information on him and information on his counterfeit dealings. "Guys, I just flashed…."

Sarah looked at Chuck, and then back at the screen.

"We've been searching for him for nearly 2 months, but his location hasn't been found until now. He may have been living in England, but it's of no concern to us right now. We have some information leading us to believe he's back in America, and he's to enter our docks. There's a deal that's to take place later tonight at the boat docks, he's going to sell almost $20 million to rival dealers. Bartowski we will need you for this mission, Romano may have a different team with him now. When he went on the run 2 months ago, he left his team behind. NSA captured these thugs 3 weeks ago. If there is any information about these men, we will need you to identify them."

"How did I know you were going to asked that…."

"General, once the deal has taken place are we to arrest these men?" Sarah asked.

"No Agent Walker. We need to identify Romano's team first to know exactly who we are dealing with. There is another deal taking place tomorrow night, we'll get him them. However, we'll be sending agents into this deal. The rival dealers will be CIA agents, we intercepted the rival dealers earlier this morning, and CIA agents will be taking there place."

And with that General Beckham disconnected the video link. For a moment Chuck thought back to Beckham's proposition, he took a look at Sarah. I could have my life back, with the woman I love. That's what I've always wanted, but how can I turn down my country. Chuck still had no idea wherever to have the intersect 2.0 uploaded into his brain, or walk away from the CIA and NSA forever. Casey noticed Chuck in a slight trance and snapped him out of it by clicking his fingers.

"Hey, snap out of it. We got to get to work at the Buy More."

"Oh right, yeah. Let's get going then buster."

Buster, what the hell did he call me, Casey asked himself.

Sarah went over to a computer as Casey and Chuck headed out of the Castle. Before exiting, Chuck looked back at Sarah; he smiled and gave her a wink. Sarah looked at him before waving him goodbye.

The two headed to the Buy More when Chuck's phone beeped. Casey headed into the store leaving Chuck outside to check his message.

The message read:

Meet me in 20 minutes in the Orange Orange

Sarah

Chuck perked up and smiled from ear to ear. She can't keep away from me can she?

Chuck then entered the store and headed off to Morgan to say hi.

"Hey buddy, what's up?" Chuck asked.

"Chuck, you all right. I'm fine my man, just checking out Anna over there. My girlfriend is H O T, hot."

Chuck laughed, and tapped Morgan on the shoulder before heading off to work. He sat down at his nerd herd desk and waited patiently for time to pass until it was time to go see Sarah. His patience paid off, time flew by. He checked his watch, Time to go Chuck. Off he headed to the Orange Orange. As he entered the shop he was greeted by Sarah who was behind the counter.

"Hey Chuck, you got my message then."

"That I did. You wanna talk, about last night don't you?" Sarah put the cloth she had in her hand down and walked over to Chuck.

"Sit down Chuck." Sarah pulled up a chair for them both. As Chuck sat down he thought, that didn't sound too good. People say that when they want to break up, keep it cool Chuck.

"Last night was amazing Chuck,…but it can't……"

Chuck interrupted her, "It can't happen again."

"No. Chuck sometimes you should really let me finish. What I was going to say was, it can't be known to Casey. He can't suspect a thing." Chuck was pleasantly relieved.

"Another cover. First we have to pretend to be dating; now we have to pretend not to be dating…I'm getting confused."

Sarah smirked. "It's not easy is it, but we can do this."

Chuck nodded in agreement with Sarah. He gave her a quick kiss before leaving the Orange Orange to get back to work.

7 Hours later…..

Time to go home and off to my second job.

As Casey headed out, he whispered to Chuck, "Be at my place 7.00pm, and Bartowski….don't be late." Chuck sarcastically smiled back at Casey, before Casey headed out.

Chuck had a quick whip round to make sure everything was in its place before leaving the Buy More. He said bye to Morgan, Lester and Jeff. He then jumped into his nerd herder and drove off home.

End of chapter guys. Hope you enjoyed it, and please leave a review.
