Hi :)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Chuck
Sorry if the timing is a little out, I'm going with them being together for one month. I hope it's close to correct!
Thanks!
12:00pm. Town Library.
Sarah and Carina found a quiet desk down one of the isle on the second floor of the library. Both their heads were down, immersed in their school books. Sarah absent-mindlessly reached for the eraser and rubbed vigorously at her paper, trying to work out how on earth she was going to get her English essay done for her exams. She liked to have plenty of time, to re-read, re-write, she was quite the perfectionist when it came to her school work. It had to be perfect.
"I think the pencil marks disappeared," Carina smirked as she watched Sarah still erasing the same spot, while she was reading the book next to her.
"Huh?" Sarah said and looked down to her paper, a small hole had ripped through. "Whoops."
"I can't believe we are studying," Carina frowned. "Holidays suck."
"One," Sarah said dropping the eraser and leaning back into the seat. "Don't ever say holidays suck." Carina smiled and Sarah continued, "Two, we have a good reward for our studying right?"
Carinas grin got bigger and she nodded her head excitedly. "Yay! What is the time?"
Sarah laughed at Carinas impatience. "12:05."
"OK," Carina sighed dramatically. "I think I can keep going till half past."
"Good," Sarah smiled. "Because I've almost finished my essay."
"Nerd."
"Shut up," Sarah snapped playfully and checked her phone for any messages.
"No text still?"
"Nah," Sarah said and put her phone back in her hand bag. "I guess we won't be going out for tea then."
"He's probably busy," Carina shrugged. "He'll text you soon."
"Yeah," Sarah answered distractedly.
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, yeah.." Sarah smiled. "You're right, he's probably busy."
"Read me your essay," Carina smiled. "I'll critique it for you."
Morgan Grimes's household.
"Ooo!" Morgan boomed out and cracked open another soda. "He owned you Jim!"
"Yeah, yeah." Jim pulled a face to Morgan. "Your up."
Chuck grabbed another handful of chips and placed them in his bowl, he leaned back and grabbed his remote again. "Watch and learn Jim, watch and learn."
"Pff," Jim took a sip of his drink. "Don't get to cocky or I'll get your girlfriend around here. Bet she'll be able to beat you."
Chuck thought for a second then nodded. "She actually would," He chuckled and checked his jean pockets for his phone.
"Ready and go!" Morgan said and quickly started the game. Chuck not being able to find his phone scrambled for his remote controller.
Carina, finally picking up the piece of sushi with the chopsticks gave a victorious grin. "Did-" The sushi fell from the chopsticks. "Dammit!"
Sarah laughed again, "would you like me to feed it to you?"
"Shut up." Carina joined in the laughter and finally picked it up with her fingers. "Chuck text?"
"No." Sarah replied, "I shouldn't be so worked up about this should I?"
Carina shrugged. "You guys have been going out for a month, it's important. "
"I wouldn't actually care. It's just Chuck was the one who was all 'we have to do something for it.'"
"And he's forgotten." Carina gives a disappointed look.
"And he's forgotten."
"What did he want to do?"
"He said he was taking me out to dinner then we were going to go to the movies."
Carina checked her watch. "He still has time..."
"He text me at seven this morning, saying have fun with you and that he's heading around to Morgans with Jim." Sarah said dipping a piece of sushi into the soy sauce.
"I'm just going to run to the bathroom." Carina said. "I'll be back."
"OK," Sarah replied and checked her phone again. She clenched her fists and put her phone in the zip pocket of her bag, she wasn't going to check it again.
Carina quickly made it into the bathroom and text Chuck a pretty abusive text message. When she saw him next he was going to get a big thumping. How dare he not remember!
Back at the food court, Sarah ate her sushi in silence when someone sat in the seat opposite her, looking up expecting to see Carina. But her eyes widened when Bryce was sitting next to her.
"Hey Sarah,"
"Hi.."
"You having lunch with Chuck?" he asked looking down at the half eaten sushi in front of him.
"Carina."
"Oh yeah, look can I just say I'm sorry?"
"If you want."
Bryce gave her a nod. "I am, I can't stop thinking how much of a douche I was being."
"You were." Sarah answers firmly.
"I'm sorry for hurting you, I don't know what I was thinking."
Sarah nodded, but stayed silent.
"Chucks a great guy, and if your happy then I'm happy." He said. "I want to be friends again, you know?"
"Yeah." Sarah nodded.
"If we could try on working on that and hopefully I can try and show to you that I'm not such a dick head."
Sarah chuckled, remembering herself calling him one. "Mom was wondering where you had been lately."
"Same, moms like 'we must ask your family around for tea again'." Bryce replied, "I fought her off the idea for a little while, at least until I apologized properly to you."
"Good, because I love getting my hair styled by your sister."
Bryce laughed, "She just won class bear recently. She's been styling the bears hair." He chuckled. "Have you got something really important in your bag?"
"Uh, no why?"
"You keep looking at it."
"Oh," Sarah blushed. "No.."
"What's up?"
"It's nothing," Sarah brushed it off. "Carinas coming over with a deadly look on her face.."
"Bryce," Carina scowled. "You're in my seat."
Sarah heard her smirk as Bryce quickly jumped off her seat. "Sorry I was just apologizing to Sarah.."
"Good." Carina replied and sat down in it.
"I'm sorry for hurting your friend Carina..I know I stuffed up."
"Yes you did."
"And I won't do it again."
"You better not." Carina said looking up at him, he seemed honest enough.
"Hey you know what goes really well with sushi?" He asked.
"What?"
"Chocolate sundaes." Bryce smiled. "I'm not trying to bribe you guys back, just a sort of sorry..and it does go really well with sushi."
"Go get them then." Carina waved him off with a grin to Sarah as Bryce quickly left. "What else do you think he can buy us?"
Sarah laughed, "Ive always wanted some more jewelry..."
Carina nodded her head in agreement, "Good thinking," she laughed too. "So you've forgiven him?"
Sarah shrugged. "We'll become friends again."
"You guys have known each other for a long time."
"Yeah," Sarah nodded. "We were always good friends."
"I owned you!" Morgan yelled and jumped around the room like jack in the box.
"Yeah, yeah." Chuck replied and chucked his pillow so it hit Morgan square in the face.
Jim Bartes followed suit and grabbed his pillow and started chasing Morgan around his house with it, whacking him on the head every chance he got.
"I surrender!" Morgan pleaded. "I surrender!"
Jim let out a tired breath and collapsed on the couch. "Next game?"
"Your on," Morgan replied and turned to Chuck for his opinion. "What you looking for?"
Chuck was lifting up the couch seats and looking under them. "Oh, just my phone."
"I can't remember you having it here." Morgan responded.
"Neither can I actually.." Chuck tried to retrace his steps, from when he left his house in the morning. "Dam," he flopped back down on the couch. "I left it at home." He remembered leaving the house but unfortunately he wasn't quick enough. His mom called him to hang out the washing. Thinking back he remembers putting his phone near the washing machine as he grabbed the clean clothes out.
"You miss Sarah?" Jim grins. "You can text her off my phone...oh wait, I don't want any of that lovey duff stuff sent off it."
Chuck made a face and cracked a smile. "She's shopping today."
"She's shopping todaaaay!" Morgan and Jim repeated in an over exaggerated dreamy voice.
"You guys are just jealous." Chuck teased.
"Crap," Jim said starting the game and briefly looking at Morgan. "He has a really good point there."
"Oh my god!" Carina burst out laughing and lent against the clothes rack for support. She was in hysterics. "Oh god."
Sarah nodded her head, the blush high on her cheeks. "Worse moment of my entire life."
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it." Carina laughed again. "I can't picture it! I just can not picture her handing them to you. Your face would have been classic."
"It was." Sarah nodded. "I refused them but she insisted."
"Are they flavored ones? Glow in the dark?"
"What! I don't know i just shoved them in my draw as quick as possible." Sarah quickly answered.
"What are you two rat bags laughing at?" Carinas moms voice came up from behind them, with Sarah moms next to her. They were meeting them to do some prom dress shopping.
"Nothing!" Sarah and Carina both quickly said in unison.
Emma eyed her daughter, "You're very red honey."
"Carinas been embarrassing me." Sarah narked with a grin.
"Sarah was telling me about how you-"
"Carina!" Sarah gasped. "Can you not!"
"I wasn't going to!" Carina whispered as their moms had already rolled their eyes and left their daughters to it.
"I might tell mom to tell your mom you need a bit of a talk too."
"You better not!"
Sarah chuckled. "Maybe i will, maybe i won't."
Carina evil eyes her friend as they followed their moms into the first prom dress potential shop.
"Hey Sarah?" Carina asked quietly as they raided through the dresses.
"Yeah?"
"Can i have one of the condoms?"
"Why? You and Morgan planning on something..."
"No!" Carina protested. "Just being prepared."
"Sure, you can have all of them."
"Ha!" Carina scoffed and jabbed Sarah in the side. "You will need one for prom night..."
On the way home after some intrepid prom dress shopping, Emma glanced briefly at her daughter. "You OK?"
"Yeah," Sarah nodded and gave her mom a smile. "What dress did you like?"
"The dark blue," Emma smiled. "You looked gorgeous."
"I liked that one too." Sarah smiled.
"So what times Chuck picking you up tonight?"
"Uh..i don't think he is anymore."
"Why? Is everything OK?"
"Yeah, yeah." Sarah nodded and looked at her mom. "I think he's forgotten."
Emmas heart broke slightly at the upset look on her daughters face. "Aw honey, maybe he's planning something special.."
"No, we planned going out to dinner. He was going to pick me up at five then a movie."
Emma looked at her watch, he sure was cutting it fine. "Why don't you just text him?"
"I did." Sarah says. "Three times."
"No reply I'm guessing?"
Sarah shook her head.
"Why don't you call his house?"
"He's at Morgans."
"Well there you go, text Morgan!"
"Nah mom, I don't want to be all you know, clingy."
"I'm sure he wouldn't think that, he adores you."
"No it's fine, I feel like getting some more study done tonight anyway."
Emma raised her eyebrows as she drove into their driveway. "Really?"
"Yeah," Sarah replied quickly and jumped out of the car. "I had a late lunch, so I'm not really hungry."
"Where you going?" Emma asks as her daughter climbs the stairs to her room.
"I'm going to study."
Emma watched her daughter dart up the stairs and went into the kitchen finding her husband dicing up the chicken for tea.
"Why is my beauty of a wife looking so sad?" He asked with a cheeky smile.
"Chuck forgot his and Sarahs one month."
Jack stopped dicing, "One month?"
Emma rolled her eyes, "Yes, that little thing you call it when you've been dating for a month."
"That's important?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Yes!" Emma slapped him lightly. "You better remember what we did for ours."
"Oh ho, I do indeed." Jack wiggled his eyebrows.
"What then?" Emmas tested.
"I took you on a picnic, strawberries, red wine and a whole lot of lovin'."
Emma smiled at the memory, "Good boy." She kissed him.
"So the young boys not so great after all."
"Maybe I'll give him a call..." Emma said.
"No you don't." Jack said and pulled his wife back into his arms. "If he wants to be with my daughter than he better show it."
"Your just trying to find reasons to not like him." Emma teased. "You're afraid to admit that he's a good boy for our little girl."
"Not if he forgets their 'one month!'" Jack said, using quotation marks.
Emma evil eyes him playfully and checked her watch. "He should be here now apparently, I'll go check on Sarah."
"Give her a kiss from me." Jack called. "And when I get my hands on that Bartowski kid!"
"My eyes feel like squares," Morgan slurred out slowly. "Like actually squares."
Chuck gave a tired yawn, "They look like them-ohh! Crap!" He quickly bolted out of his chair. "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" He said frantically collecting his things.
"What?!" Jim and Morgan asked quickly, their eyes following Chuck running around the room.
"Sarah and i" Chuck shoved his coat in his mouth as he grabbed his pair of shoes. "See-" the other two looked at each other with wide eyes, they couldn't hear a word Chuck was saying. "Crap, Ive stuff-" He quickly opened the door, "Shi-"
The door slammed quickly behind him and Jim and Morgan stood up and walked over to the window where they watched Chuck sprinting down the street.
After a few silent seconds Jim turned to Morgan, "New game?" He asked.
"Yeah dude."
Chuck blasted through his front door at full speed, happy that Ellie had gone back to uni and his mom and dad were out for the night. He had no time to stop. He checked his watch and let out a loud "Arrrgh!" as it was already past six. He had missed the dinner he booked, and there goes the movie to. Things were not looking good.
Throwing on some clean clothes, he grabbed his wallet, present and for the first time in a long time pulled the old, rusty bike from the garage.
The breaks needed some serious oil but he didn't have time. He knew he couldn't just turn up to Sarahs without dinner plans so he biked to the local grocery store, he wasn't sure what he was going to do but surly there had to be something.
Emma knocked on Sarahs door and opened it up carefully, her daughter was under her covers already in her winter pajamas. Emma smiled, she looked adorable.
"What happened to the studying?" She asked as she walked over and sat on the edge of her bed. Sarah had her music player in, her iPod must have been connected.
"Mm, yeah about that," Sarah smiled and rolled over so she was facing her mom.
"You hungry? Dad cooked a very nice chicken curry?"
"No thanks."
"Did you try Chuck again?"
"I called his house...no answer." She answered. "I know I'm being stupid mom, I was just-"
"You're not being stupid." Emma interjected gently. "I remember your dad forgot my birthday, I was crying for hours."
"A birthdays a little more important though," Sarah smiled.
"It's your first proper relationship, it's OK to be upset. You were excited, you were telling me how you couldn't wait for it to be a month." Emma said, brushing her thumb down her daughters cheek.
Sarah blushed lightly, "I feel like a teenager."
"You are a teenager." Emma smiled. "A beautiful, smart amazing teenager who has every right to be upset."
"I hate boyfriends."
Emma laughed and nodded her head. "Same here," she whispered and gave her daughter a wink. "You want to watch a movie?"
Chuck finally managing to make it to Sarahs house dumped his bike on the grass and quickly ran up the steps. His hair was a mop, his face was a tomato all and all he wasn't a looking good. Sure her whole family was probably going to know he had forgotten, but he couldn't do anything about it. He bravely knocked.
Jack hearing the knock went and opened the door, raising his eyebrows and shaking his head slowly when a red faced, worn out Chuck stood on the other side of the door.
"Oooo," Jack ran his hand over his chin. "I don't think I should let you in."
Chuck swallowed and nodded his head, while putting the bag he was holding down on the ground, so he could wave his arms around in giant, nervous gestures.
"I know, I know I can't believe it. I had everything planned, then I was with Morgan and Jim and I had left my phone at home and I know that's no excuse and I should have remembered, but I didn't and I don't even know why I didn't! Honestly I am the lucky one here. You know, a month going out with your daughter and I am the luckiest guy in school, in the world and she's so nice and smart and pretty and funny and the most amazing person, I just, I don't know how I forgot!" Chuck rambled out so quickly that Jack had to hold his hands up to stop the young lad from choking on his own words.
"I'll tell you something, you won't ever forget again." Jack nodded from experience. "She's in her room, if a single upset word comes out of my daughters mouth you better run." He warned and went back into the living room to watch the television.
Chuck nodded in silence then titled his head, "OK," he said and made his way up the stairs. He fiddled with his shirt and tried to pat his hair down a little bit just before he knocked on the door.
"Come in dad!" Sarah called.
Chuck winced slightly and opened the door to see Sarah and her mom sitting against the head rest of the bed. Sarah immediately sat up in bed when she saw Chuck.
Emma also doing the same, gave a relieved smile, he was late but he was gave her daughter a pat on the leg.
"Everyone makes mistakes honey, that's how you learn," She whispered and kissed her daughters head.
"I better go see what your dads up to." Emma said out loud and hopped from the bed giving Chuck a comforting smile as she walked past.
Sarah shifted on the bed slightly pulling the covers up a little higher, her pink pajamas weren't exactly what she would have envisioned seeing Chuck in today.
Chuck held back by the door, "Hello."
"Hi."
Chuck watched her eyes not being able to stay locked on his. "I have no excuse," he shook his head in shame. "But I want you to know I'm so sorry. Ive never been more sorry."
"It's OK."
Chuck raised his eyebrows, "No, I shouldn't have forgotten."
"Don't worry," Sarah shakes her head "It wasn't a big deal anyway."
Chuck takes a step forward. "Well I happen to think that us going out for one month, you putting up with me for one month is a pretty big deal." Chuck says.
Sarah stares at him for a few seconds, "It's kind of late.."
"Oh? Oh sure, I'm sorry, I'm sorry i wasn't thinking. I'll leave you to it. I uh, I got you a present but I'll just leave it here.." Chuck said rustling through the large bag and placing the present on her desk. "I'll call you tomorrow then? If you wanted I would really like to make it up to you..Or just you know.. "
"You're leaving?"
"Uh?" Chuck gives her a confused look, "I just thought you said it was kind of late?"
"Yeah," Sarah nodded. "So you should hurry up and let me see what's in the bag because I'm starving." She gave him a small smile. "You having forgotten and all."
Chuck walked over and sat on the end of her bed, "I'm really sorry Sarah."
"It's OK, I think I hated you for a couple of minutes and then I got over it." She gave him a more Sarah smile. "Now I like you again."
Chucks smile grew, "I promise to never let you hate me again."
"Deal, what's in the bag?"
"OK, I have.." Chuck started pulling out all the things he purchased. "One vegetarian pizza, no olives. A bottle of sparkling grape juice, two plastic cups, spoons. Strawberries, lots of chocolate.."
"That is a lot of chocolate." Sarah nodded with wide eyes.
"Chips, rocky road ice cream and...Jello."
Sarah gives him a grin and pulls her blankets off her. She leans in and wraps her arms around him, Chuck giving her a warm, strong hug back.
"I know it doesn't make up for it, but do you think we can still do the whole tea and movie thing tomorrow night?"
Sarah released him from her hug, and sat cross legged on the bed. "Yeah, it can be our..'the day Chuck forgot our first milestone'."
"That's going to haunt me for the rest of my life." Chuck pouted.
"Good, serves you right." Sarah grins and opens the box of pizza. "Come sit, I'm watching a movie." She says and moves up against her pillows.
Chuck grabs the box and sits next to her back against the head board. "What you watching?"
"Lilo and Stitch."
Chuck grinned, "That's adorable."
"Thanks," Sarah puts on her most adorable smile. "Chuck?"
"Yeah?"
"The ice creams going to melt, I suggest we crack it open."
"That's a good suggestion," Chuck laughs and grabs the two plastic spoons.
They sit in comfortable silence eating their pizza, ice cream and drinking there sparkling grape juice as they finishes watching the movie. Chuck still can't help the nagging in his stomach, his heart. He forgot. He doesn't know how it happened but he forgot. How could he possibly forget?
"You need to get a dark blue tie for prom." Sarah broke his thoughts and turned to him.
"You found a dress?"
"Yeah, I haven't actually purchased but I think it's the one."
Chuck smiled, "You will look beautiful in it," he replied, scooping up another spoon of ice cream.
"Hopefully I'll look alright," She responded modestly opening her mouth so he could feed her.
Chuck rolled his eyes dramatically, "You will be the most beautiful girl there even if you turned up in a rubbish bag smelling of rotten fish."
Sarah wrinkled her nose, "That really ruined the romantic mood I was going for."
Chuck grinned guiltily. "Sorry, sorry can we take that from the top?"
"What are we? A movie script?" She teased.
"Nah, I like not knowing the ending."
Sarah smiled back and leaned a little closer so her hand was gently resting on his thigh. "Same."
Chuck tried to keep his breath steady, her hand was awfully distracting. "I, I got you a present."
"You didn't have to," Sarah replies leaving her hand on his thigh as she pulled open her bedside draw. "But I got you something too."
"You got me a present?" Chuck asks.
"You got me one." Sarah says. "We must think alike."
"Yeah, wow thank you. Who wants to open first you or me?"
Sarah laughs at his obvious excitement, "How about you open yours."
Chuck nods his head, "Thank you." He replies as she passes it to him.
He gives it a feel with his hands, "Hey!" Sarah snapped. "No cheating, open it."
"Fiiiine," Chuck grins cheekily and unwraps it quickly.
He lets out a laugh when he see's it and Sarah is happy to see his giant grin taking over his face.
"This is so awesome." He says, "From our first date?"
Sarah nods, "Mmhm."
"I'm just going to try it on OK?" Chuck asks as he quickly pulls his sweatshirt and t shirt off. Sarah watches him throw it over his head and is more than pleased when it fits well. She gazes over his shirt appreciatively. He suits black very well and the big block letters spelling nerd definitely fits him like a glove.
"Your such a nerd." She grins as he stands back and shows it to her.
"This is great." Chuck tells her as he sits back on the bed. "I almost feel like don't deserve it after everything that's happened today."
Sarah tilts her head slightly, "Chuck, as perfect as I think and know you are everyone forgets things, no one can be perfect all the time, you just wait I'll probably forget prom night and all."
"Nope, because I'll be here to remind you."
"Very true," She smiles. "So the shirt? It's a keeper?"
"I'm never taking it off." Chuck tells her seriously. "Thank you, this is the best gift ever. After you of course."
Sarah laughs. "That's sweet."
Chuck smiles back then looks around for his present on the bed. "You should probably open your one too.." He says grabbing the small bag behind him and handing it to her. She glances up at him, "Thank you."
"It's nothing, I hope you like it." He says, standing from her bed and walking towards the window.
"Are you OK?" She asks softly as she pulls the small wrapped box out of the bag.
"Yeah," Chuck nods. "I was just looking up at the sky."
Sarah gives him a crooked smile and continues unwrapping, as she opens the box Chuck quickly turns to face her to gauge her reaction.
"Aww! Chuck!" She cries out. "These are adorable!"
"Really? You think?" He looks down at the little box in her hand, the two little silver, star shape stud earrings gleaming in the light.
"I love them," She nods truthfully as she glances up at him. "I really really love them."
"I just uh, I have always had this like fascination with stars." Chuck says as he takes her hand and gently pulls her off the bed and walks her over to the window.
"Aren't they like one of the coolest things you have ever seen?" He asks her as he points up to the stars in the sky.
"Yeah," Sarah nods in agreement. "Just like these earrings, they're beautiful."
"That's where I was going with them." Chuck smiles nervously. "I thought that since I think you know.. stars are so cool, and well pretty...then you know... "
Even though she knows what he's gonna say she can't help her small shake of the head. "No?"
"Well there's you." He says simply. "And you are like crazy, crazy insanely beautiful, so I thought that stars and you would go pretty well together.." He smiles. "You being the top dog of course."
Sarah grins up at him, "I'm going to put these in my ears very soon," she says and places the box carefully on her table. "But first.." She smiles up at him and rests her hands on his cheeks so she can pull his face towards her.
The kiss starts slowly and Chuck can't help but smile as he places his hands on her back feeling the flannelette of her pink pajamas under his skin. He holds her steady as she presses her self into him and he enjoys the moment. Sarah clearly enjoying it as well keeps her lips attached to his as she leads him closer to the bed.
"Mmm," Sarah moans aggressively as she lets her tongue roam around the inside of his mouth.
Sarah makes the kiss the most passionate one yet. Chuck wonders if it's a bit of anger in her still from his muck up today or if she just really feels like kissing him, hard. He has to admit, he is usually fairly shy and a little under educated on this area of the relationship. But what he does know is that he really wants her right now. His body is definitely showing all the signs and he's pretty sure she can tell to because she moves him closer against the bed so the backs of his calves hit the mattress, her body pressed up directly against him in every single spot. He would blush, if he wasn't so absorbed by her.
Absorbed. There was something else absorbing into him when he lay half on her bed with her draped on top kissing him furiously, a very compromising position if anyone of her parents walked in.
He can barely think straight as Sarah plays with his hands, entwining them with hers, brushing her thumbs lightly over the back of his palms.
When his pants become cold though, he knows that something has most definitely absorbed into them.
"AH!" He pulls away from her lips and springs them both up from the bed. "Cold, cold cold!"
Sarah panting and in a confused state looks at him with wide eyes. "What? What's wrong?"
Chuck spins around and Sarah notices the puddle of melted ice cream on the back of his pants. Sarah then looks over to what Chucks looking at and sees a tipped over ice cream container with runny ice cream leaking all over her sheets.
"Ohhh! Ew!" She says and quickly pulls the sticky container off her bed and throws it in the near by bin.
Chuck pulls the rest of the half eaten food from the bed and quickly removes her duvet, which was at the moment safe from any melted rocky road.
"Wow."
Sarah looks at him and smiles shyly. "Yeah."
"I'll, uh help you move your sheets.." He says and helps her pull them off, thankful that it hadn't sunken into the mattress.
Sarah takes the giant heap of sheets in a bundle in her arms and they walk out into the wash room.
"Uh.. you should maybe just make sure your mom knows that the stains are in fact ice cream."
Sarah gives him an odd look, her eyebrows shooting up when she catches his drift.
"Oh..Ohhh!"
Chuck nods his head. "Yeah.."
"Yeah..." Sarah agrees. "Ive already had the whole talk to mom the other day, she's all make sure your ready and are you rea...uh." Sarah quickly clears her throat.
"The talk?..Ohh the talk talk?"
"Um yeah," Sarah lets out an awkward laugh. "Yeah."
"Cool! Cool yeah, moms aye.." Chuck nods cringing at the sudden awkwardness.
"Uh huh." Sarah smiles. "So..I'm really sorry but i have to get up early tomorrow, cross country training."
"No problem, I have work tomorrow I'll leave you to it.."
"Great." Sarah smiles, wishing she hadn't brought up her talk with her mom to Chuck. Now he's going to be thinking she's wanting to. Not that she doesn't want to..She really, she just doesn't know.
"I'll just grab my pants- no, no sorry I have my pants on I didn't take them off," Chuck laughs nervously. "I mean my t shirt and jumper.."
"Oh, yes right. I'll walk you out."
They walk silently down the stairs sneaking glances at each other, both feeling a little red. Once they made it down stairs they pass through the TV room where Emma and Jack were watching TV.
"Happy one month you two!" Jack shouts out in a teasing tone.
"Oh, happy one month Sarah." Chuck smiles.
"Yeah you too Chuck." She smiles and quickly gives him a kiss on the side of the mouth as she can feel her parents spying.
"What's that on your pants?" Jack asks.
"Pardon?" Chuck freezes. "Oh, ohh uh ice cream.."
"Rocky road." Sarah say quickly, "It got on my sheets too."
"How did it get there?" Jack quirks an eyebrow.
"Dad, Chucks leaving," She answers.
Chuck waves a quick goodbye and follows Sarah out the front door.
"You biked here?" She asks eying up the rusty bike on the lawn.
"Yeah," Chuck nods. "I was in a rush."
"Do you want a ride? It's quite late now?"
"No, no it's OK." Chuck says and pulls his bike off the ground. "No ones going to want to mess with a nerd anyway." He says pointing at his new top.
"No way," Sarah smiles. "You're far to bad ass."
"That's me." He wiggles his eyebrows. "So uh, three more things..One I'm sorry about the whole ice cream spill."
"I got a bit carried away." Sarah gives him a knowing look which he mirrors with his own grin.
"Two, i uh..just want to say sorry for the whole ruining our night again."
"It's OK Chuck." Sarah insist, walking up to him and giving his cheek a tap. "I had fun with you anyway."
"You're the best," He smiles back and sits on the bike. "Like really, the best."
"Wait," She says as he gives her a quick kiss and makes his way down the driveway. "What was the third thing?"
"Are we still on for tomorrow? Because i am going to go all out Sarah. I MEAN ALL OUT!" He shouts from the end of the drive. "You will be so blown away that you won't even remember your own name!"
"Sounds a bit kinky!" She shouts back and watches him laugh as he bikes off down the street, waving to her at every light post. Letting out a happy sigh she retreats back into her house, makes her bed with new sheets, cleans her teeth and grabs the little box off her dresser.
She sits in front of the mirror and puts the little earrings in. Admiring them she can't help but smile.
She was never taking them out.
Thanks!:) Thanks for reviews and everything i love them!
