AN: I have to warn you in advance this probably won't be as good as my other chapters for multiple reasons. But fear not, my next chapter is gonna be way better, so please stick around for it. It may or may not take a while because of school, studying for exams and my social life (just kidding, I don't have a social life outside of school). Anyway, please review, I love reading them. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 14

Monday 4:00PM
Banes and Co.
IT Department

"Chuck," Goodwin said entering the office/cubicle.

"Goodwin, hi. Did you get the notes?" Chuck asked, turning away from the computer he was repairing.

"Yeah, nice work, Chuck. How was the conference?"

"Oh, good. Yeah, very er...straightforward," Chuck tried to come up with a word.

Goodwin laughed. "You can be honest Chuck. It was boring as hell wasn't it?"

Chuck nervously smiled at his boss. He seemed to be in a decent mood and it couldn't hurt. He nodded his head. "Yeah it was pretty boring."

"Well, the notes you sent me were good. I've been meaning to thank you but meetings have been going crazy. An old college friend of mine got married that weekend so I couldn't make it to the conference. Thanks for going in my place anyway."

"No problem."

"Hey, I need you to go through these," Goodwin said, dumping a massive file on Chuck's desk.

"Uh, sure," he said flipping through one of the papers. "What are they?"

"Files, at least five years old."

"Uh huh," Chuck said, hoping he'd elaborate. "Five year old files?"

"We need to see the spike on sales since we started using IT as a means of marketing. And then I need you to write a report on how the IT marketing tools you learned at the conference can increase the sales even more." Goodwin explained. "That's not gonna be a problem is it?"

"Uh, no, no, Goodwin." Chuck said, a little overwhelmed at the size of the file. "When is this due?"

"Wednesday, I need it on my desk by 12:00."

"Of course, I will do my best."

"Good, by the way, come to my office around five. There's something you'll want to see."

Chuck raised his eyebrow.

"On second thought, go to the parking lot. It'll be there."

"Uh, okay," Chuck shrugged.

"Good," he said leaving. "Remember, Chuck. Wednesday, twelve o'clock on my desk."

Banes and Co.
5:00PM
Basement 2, Parking Lot.

Chuck had finished work and was now waiting at the parking lot. Goodwin had said to meet here for whatever reason, with his messenger bag slung over his shoulders, he glanced down at his 'Chucks' until he heard a car drive by.

To his surprise it was a silver Mustang GT500. Goodwin was driving it, he could clearly see that. Pulling over, Chuck watched his boss exit and, seeing him, Goodwin tossed him the keys, which he just managed to catch.

"Like it?" Goodwin said.

"It's...wow, yeah. That is one nice car."

"Yeah, it is isn't it?" Goodwin looked over at it. "Well it's your now."

"Cool, that's nice...wait what?" Chuck turned to his boss. "It's mine?"

"What do you think I tossed you the keys for?" he chuckled.

Chuck stared down at his hand with the keys in it. "I uh...I don't know really."

"Well it is yours Chuck. Company car. Got everything you'll need, insurance, GPS, radio, slot for your IPod, everything." He slapped Chuck on the back once.

"That is one nice car," Chuck repeated.

Goodwin laughed again, then slapped Chuck on the back. "Well, you best be going home now, try it. Give it a spin. And remember, I want the report Wednesday on my desk by 12," he said finally before heading back into the building.

5:30PM
Chuck and Sarah's Apartment

"Sarah?" Chuck called out, entering their apartment. God, he loved saying that. Their apartment, he still couldn't believe he was living with her. Sarah had been filling in for a sales rep, talking to clients about investments in Banes and Co. so he hardly saw her at work.

"Hey," she smiled. Sarah had been out for most of the day closing a deal for a sales rep who was sick.

"Hey," he smiled back, sitting next to her on the couch. "How was the deal?"

"Guess."

"You closed it," Chuck replied knowingly.

"Why would you think that?" she smirked. '

"Because no one can say no to you. I am living proof of that." Sarah laughed. "I'm serious. Remember the time we went to a carnival on the pier?"

"Yeah," she nodded.

"And how I played that game to win you the stuffed rhino?"

"Yes."

"I spent at least fifteen bucks on that game because I couldn't say no to you."

"Well, I did say thank you. In more ways than one if you recall," Sarah smirked again.

Chuck blushed and Sarah couldn't help laugh. Noticing something in his hand, she spoke up.

"What's that?"

"This?" He said realizing the keys were still in his hand. "Oh. Actually, it's better if you see it," he said, taking her had and leading her outside, to where his new car was parked.

"Wow," she said. "That's your car?"

"Yeah," he nodded. "It's a company car and it's pretty great. It's not your Porsche, but..." he trailed off.

"It's a nice car Chuck," she said.

"Yeah, but guess what Goodwin gave me, before I got the car?"

"What?"

"Five years worth of files to go through and a report due on Wednesday."

"Well I guess with great power comes great responsibility," Sarah replied.

"Yeah I g...Wait a minute," Chuck said. "That's a Spiderman quote. Did you watch Spiderman?"

"While you were in New York I had some free time on my hands and you have a very large movie collection," she replied. "It was a good movie. Although I'm not exactly the ideal movie critic."

Chuck was still grinning at the realization his girlfriend just quoted Spiderman. "You are the perfect woman," he said. "I can't believe you watched Spiderman."

Sarah chuckled and kissed him. "What can I say? I fell in love with a nerd."

"I love you."

"I love you too. So tell me, does the Mustang have a back seat?"

Three Weeks Later

"Stupid tie," Chuck muttered. He never seemed to get it right. They were preparing for Ellie and Awesome's wedding. Chuck was fully dressed and looking handsome in his suit, although his tie was serving as a problem as he tried to put it on correctly for the umpteenth time.

"Give it here," Sarah smiled as she fixed it on for him properly. "There. You look great."

He looked at her in her bridesmaid dress with her hair done up. Chuck smiled back. "And you look amazing"

The wedding was no short of awesome. Nothing less was to be expected. The flowers, the church, everything had gone according to plan which was good since Ellie would have completely freaked if it didn't. Devon's parents Woody and Honey, sat at the front, along with Morgan, Alex and a few other guests.

As promised, Chuck walked his sister down the aisle for her big day as the organ played.

"Thanks for doing this," she whispered.

"Anything for family, right?"

The organ stopped playing and the priest cleared his throat to begin the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join together, the matrimony of Eleanor Faye Bartowski, and Devon Christian Woodcombe. Who gives this woman, to this man?"

"I do." Chuck replied, as Ellie let go of his arm to stand across her husband-to-be, Chuck took his place behind Devon and his brothers.

"Partnership should not be taken lightly, but with due consideration," the priest continued. "If anyone has just reason as to why these two should not be wedded in holy matrimony, let him speak now, or forever hold his peace." Nobody said anything.

The priest went on."Do you Eleanor Faye Bartowski, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love, honor and cherish, to have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poor till death do you part?"

Ellie, choked back tears of joy and smiled at Devon. "I do." Sarah couldn't help but look at Chuck, even if it was just a glance.

"And do you Devon Christian Woodcombe,take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to love, honor and cherish, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poor till death do you part?""

Devon smiled back at Ellie. "I do." Chuck couldn't help but look at Sarah.

"Then, by the power vested in me by God, I now pronounce you, husband and wife," he turned to Devon. "You may kiss the bride."

And with that said, Devon and Ellie kissed, causing cheers from the guests, some people even wiping away happy tears. As Ellie and Awesome made their way down, they were congratulated by the guests, including Chuck and Sarah.

"Welcome to the family bro," Chuck said, giving Devon a brotherly hug.

"Thanks bro. Who knows, maybe you and Sarah are next?"

The reception was held at Echo Park in the courtyard. It was beautiful, tables were set out with flowers, the fountain had lights strewn across it. There was a big banner congratulating Ellie and Awesome on their wedding. Guests ate, music played as some got up to dance.

"Dance with me?" Sarah asked, holding her hand out to Chuck.

"Babe, you know I can't dance."

"Come on Chuck, everyone's dancing. And it's your sister's wedding reception."

"Sarah..."

"I'm not taking no for an answer Chuck."

Chuck smiled at her and agreed as they made their way away from the table and onto the dance floor.

He knew that he wasn't a particularly good dancer, but Chuck could do okay. As they danced, Chuck looked over at his sister and her husband. They were so happy together, ready to start their new officially married life together. He was glad that she'd found someone, well Awesome. He wanted that, he'd found someone he wanted that with. It was simple really. Chuck wanted that with Sarah.

"I love you," he whispered to her.

"I love you too."

7:30PM

Chuck and Sarah's Apartment

After the wedding and reception, Chuck and Sarah had headed home, Ellie and Devon were probably busy packing for their honeymoon anyway. Sarah collapsed onto the couch and Chuck joined her.

"Today was a good day,' she remarked.

"I agree."

"I'm happy for Ellie."

"Me too," Chuck said. He was pretty tired though.

"You want me to make dinner?" she asked, noticing how tired he was.

"No, it's fine. How about we order a pizza? Vegetarian, no olives," he picked up the phone.

"Of course," she smiled as she watched her boyfriend dial and order.

15 minutes later, the pizza arrived. They sat on the couch, eating pizza and watching Iron Man, as per Chuck's request. It was nice, just the two of them, relaxing together. As much as he loved the movie, he couldn't stop thinking about what awesome had said earlier. 'Who knows, maybe you and Sarah are next?'

And God, how he wanted to be next with Sarah. As girly or cheesy as it may have sounded he could already imagine them together. A little bit like a little girl planning her dream future wedding. The wedding in a chapel with Sarah walking down the aisle in a white dress, the whole white-picket fence, two-point-five kids and the dog. of course, some of those, they'd have to discuss later on but Chuck could already imagine it.

"Chuck? Chuck, did you hear what I said?"

"What, uh, no, sorry Babe. What was it?"

"That reactor thing in his chest keeps the shrapnel from going into his heart, right?"

"Yeah."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Huh?"

"You were kind of zoning out earlier. What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing really, just about the wedding and everything. I'm really glad for Ellie and Awesome," he said.

The Next Day (Saturday)

Chuck and Sarah's Apartment

9:30AM

Chuck and Sarah were still in bed when there was a knock at the door, well, not so much a knock, as it was a pounding.

"Chu-uck..." Sarah groaned.

"I'll get it," he said, throwing off the covers and going to answer the door.

Who could that be? There was no work today, and if there was an inquiry, they would get a call or an email, no one would show up at the door. And Ellie and Awesome were in Hawaii for their honeymoon. Stumbling, out of their bedroom and heading towards the door, Chuck opened it to see one Morgan Guillermo Grimes, standing at the front door.

"Hey, buddy," Chuck greeted, rubbing his eyes. "What's up? Isn't it kind of early?"

"It's past nine."

"Yeah, isn't that early?"

Morgan shrugged, as Chuck opened the door wider so his best friend could get in. "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing, really."

"Buddy, I can tell your lying," Chuck deadpanned. "You don't have any gaming equipment with you and you're dressed in a suit and tie...You did change clothes after the wedding, right?"

"Of course, I did. I just have a lunch date with Alex."

"It's nine thirty," Chuck glanced at his phone.

"Not now I mean."

"Why are you in a suit for your lunch date?"

"Because my lunch date is not just with Alex."

Chuck raised an eyebrow.

"It's also with her lovely ex-marine, former colonel, father, John Casey. Who wants to murder me."

"Aw, buddy-"

"No, seriously Chuck! It's as if the man has a termination order out on me."

"Morgan, Casey's scary, I can vouch for that. Everyone, can vouch for that. But he's really just a protective dad."

Morgan looked down at his shoes. "I dunno man. But he's just well, terrifying."

At that moment, the bedroom door opened and Sarah stepped out, in a robe. "Oh, hey, Morgan. I thought I heard you here."

"Hey, Sarah," Morgan said.

"You want some breakfast?"

"No, I actually have a lunch date with Alex."

"At 9:30 in the morning?"

"He's just nervous," Chuck said. "Casey's tagging along as well."

"Oh. Well, you'll be fine Morgan."

"I dunno. I mean, you've seen Casey, he's scary and a trained marine, and head of security with access to a gun," Morgan was completely freaking out.

"Well you've met him before, buddy," Chuck tried to calm his friend down.

"And he was shooting me these...looks although dinner and growling at me. Have you ever had someone growl at you?"

"Wait. So if your lunch date isn't till, well lunch, why are you here?"

"Oh yeah, here's the thing. You know how my mom's recently started dating Big Mike?"

"Who's Big Mike?" Sarah asked.

"He's Morgan's and my old boss from the Buy More."

"Yeah and he's recently started dating my mom. And shall we say, he spent the night and things got really...loud," Morgan said, with a disgusted look on his face. "And it was happening this morning too. I woke up at like six...Seriously man, no child should ever have to hear his mom going at it with-"

"I get it pal. No need to elaborate further."

Morgan sighed. "So you see my point."

Monday, 10:45AM

Banes and Co.

IT Department

"Hey, Chuck," George said as he entered Chuck's workspace.

"Hey, George. What's up?"

"Oh not much. Same old, same old, you know. By the way, how was your sister's wedding?"

"It went great."

"Good."

"So are you here to pick something up or..."

"Nah," the lawyer replied. "Crawford's having a bitch fit at the paralegals and I don't wanna be next on the chopping block."

"Oh, ouch," Chuck replied.

"Tell me about it. Not only that but I have to work through next weekend."

"Tough break, George."

"Speaking of which. Have you ever house-sat before?"

"I'm sorry, speaking of which?"

George shook his head. "I just needed an opener. Anyway, have you?"

"Uh, no. Why?"

"A friend of my uncle's has got this house in the suburbs. He doesn't spend much time there, he's actually planning to sell it. But he's away for a week and he's not meeting the realtor till then."

"And you want me to house-sit?" Chuck asked.

"Well yeah. I would do it, but I've got Kyle this week and he's got this thing to go to which my ex is going to get mad about if I don't take him, so...yeah. You could still come to work anyway."

"I'll have to discuss it with Sarah, but sure."

"Alright, sweet, I gotta go now. Just call me when you know."

"Will do."

AN: Yes, Chuck and Sarah will be heading to the suburbs next chapter. Again I apologize if this sucks, my next chapter will be better. Also, I know virtually nothing about cars and weddings. I'm too young to drive and the last wedding I went to I was like four, so yeah... Anyway, please review, reviews make me really happy.
