A/N: CQ is on a roll lately and I'm just along for the ride…

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck.

"I don't know whether to be mad at you or not," she began.

"I vote not, if I have a vote," Chuck countered. She gave him a look. "I don't get to espresso my opinion, huh?" The look intensified. "Is this grounds for breaking our engagement?" Chuck didn't know the look could get worse, but it did. "So, you're saying that's beanough?"

"I. Will. Murder. You," she growled.

"But we're not breaking up?" he asked.

She walked over to him, took his face into her hands, and kissed him senseless, which at this point she was sure wouldn't take much. She pulled away, and looked him in the eye. "Shut up," she said gently. "I don't know why you're worried about Cole, but I am glad that you're with me. And no, we will not do the thing where you're into kinky stuff, and want a threesome."

"Thank God, because I'm way to jealous," he said. She gave him a look. "I mean, I know nothing would happen, because Cole is gonna give him night-night juice, but I'm just being honest. I'm not built like that."

"I'm well aware," Sarah told him, grinning. "But, I do have a question."

"That's fair, because I have a lot of questions, possibly hundreds," Chuck responded.

"Focus," she said, holding his face in her hands. "If we were to find ourselves in bed the way you found yourself in Carina's during her mission…" she trailed off, grinning at him.

"Well, for the sake of the mission, I should probably turn you down, given we have an important mission to complete," Chuck began.

"Chuck, Cole is taking the info and running. You and I are just being you and I," she told him. Chuck began to grin.

"Peter," Guy Pierre, their host, said as he clapped Cole on the shoulder. "Monique," he said, taking Sarah's hand and kissing it. "I am so glad you could make it," he told her, his eyes boring into hers, ignoring Chuck.

"Have you met my fiancé, Travis?" Sarah asked. Guy's eyes went wide. "What happened to you and Peter?"

"We're better as friends than as lovers," Cole said, and he glanced at Sarah. "It was me, I couldn't satisfy her."

Sarah's eyes went wide. What the hell had Chuck told Cole that made him this edgy, and jumpy? Cole continued. "Plus, these two… they go on like a house on fire."

"Travis," Guy said, shaking his hand in wonder. "How… how do you do it?"

"Do what?" Chuck asked.

"How do you satisfy a beautiful creature such as Monique?" Guy asked, nearly pleading.

Chuck studied him a moment. "Have you ever loved someone so much you'd do anything for them?" Guy starred at Chuck. "Have you ever loved someone so much that you make everything about them? You wish you could take away all their pain, and give them every pleasure they could ever ask for?"

"No," Guy admitted.

"Well, if you can't do that, then you cannot even begin with a woman like Monique," Chuck explained, putting his hand on Guy's shoulder and leading him off. Cole's eyes went wide, and Sarah, seeing what Chuck was doing, nudged Cole to follow her.

"I don't understand," Guy said.

"That's the bare minimum to even get started with a woman like Monique," Chuck said. "Think of it this way: The only thing that should make you happy, is when she is happy. The only pleasure you should feel is when she feels pleasure. You have to give, and give, and give, until there is nothing else to give, and then…" Guy hung on his every word. "And then, you have to give some more."

"You're talking sexually, correct?" Guy asked.

Chuck shook his head. "No, Guy," he replied. "I'm talking in every facet of life. If you love someone, you want them happy, not just when it's convenient for you. When you love someone, you want to take their pain away. When you love someone, you want what's best for them. It doesn't matter if it's Monique, any other woman, or who it is. Loving someone is about you putting someone before you."

"But you'll get taken advantage of!" Guy protested.

"Does your fiancé know we can hear all of this?" Cole asked, locating and downloading the information he was looking for on Guy's computer.

"Doesn't matter if he does or doesn't," Sarah told him. "He's just being him."

"Do you really keep your ex's teeth on your dresser?" Cole asked. Sarah's eyes widened, and Cole chuckled. "Poor guy has no idea, does he?"

"I have no idea what you mean," Sarah said, smirking, and heading back to Chuck.

"He has no idea that no one ever stood a chance with you except him," Cole said. Sarah looked away and grinned. "I'm going to split. If you think it's safe, stay awhile and solidify the cover." Sarah nodded, and Cole took off.

She found him a minute later. "Of course I've been hurt, of course I'm vulnerable, but the only way to truly love someone is to give them your heart, your soul and let them make that decision."

"There you are," Sarah said coming up to Chuck. "I'm afraid Peter couldn't stay, too many memories for him."

"I can understand that," Chuck replied. "Are you okay with this?"

"What, me? Of course I'm fine. I told you, he meant nothing to me," Sarah said, looking Chuck in the eye.

"You don't miss this?" he asked. Guy watched them, having no idea this conversation was being conducted on two levels.

"This?" she asked, looking around. "Travis…" she shook her head, crossed the distance between them, slipped her arms around his neck, her fingers sliding into his hair, and pulling him close. She kissed him, not caring that Guy was standing right there. Guy looked around, a little unsure of what to do. They pulled apart. "You are all that matters to me."

"If you're sure," he said, a grin on his face.

"You know what, I think maybe I don't want to be at this party," Sarah told him, holding his gaze. "I think I want a private party."

"I understand now," Guy whispered to himself, surprising both of them. They had forgotten that he was there. "Go, Go! Have fun you two, make love, be merry, enjoy each other." He took Chuck's hand, pumping it vigorously. "You have taught me so much."

"It has bean my pleasure," Chuck said. Guy's smile fell.

"Travis, he isn't ready for puns," Sarah told him, wrapping an arm around his waist.

"A pleasure to meet you, Guy," Chuck said, as they turned to leave. "Remember…"

"I will, Travis, I will," Guy promised. The two walked out the door and to her car, got in, and took off. They headed down the road, a roaring silence between them.

"Teeth on my dresser, Chuck?" Sarah asked.

"I sort of wish Star Trek was real," Chuck said, confusing Sarah. "This is where I'd say, 'Bean me up, Scottie.'"

"Good God," she muttered.

}o{

She parked the car in the apartment lot, and laid her hand on his arm. "Wait." She took a deep breath. "I hope you feel that I do that for you, you know."

"Do what?" Chuck asked.

"Put you first, your happiness first. I know this mission was hard on you-"

"This mission was hard on me, because I listened to my worries and insecurities," Chuck said, cutting her off. "Everything you've done since the minute we've met has been about me, and about us. Everything you've done has screamed you loved me, and I'm the one who is having trouble understanding what you're communicating."

"I should have said more," Sarah began.

Chuck leaned over and kissed her gently. "Sarah, there are sooooo many forms of communication," he said. He grinned. "There really, really are."

"I'm about to attack your mug," she told him, her arms wrapped around him. "Marry me."

"I think I proposed already," Chuck replied, confused.

"No, marry me, now, this week. Sometime soon. Chuck… there is no sense procaffeinating any longer."

"I was thinking a year or so engagement," Chuck said, a grin on his face. She glared at him. "Of course, I have always liked Harvest Moon's Wonderful Life when the year calendar is made of four seasons that are ten days each."

"Too long," she said.

"How about the Sarah Walker calendar?" Chuck suggested.

"How does it work?" she asked, grinning.

"She pretty much gets to make the days whatever she wants," he replied with a shrug.

"Do you really want to wait a year?" she asked him. He shook his head no. "Are you okay with us getting married without a big wedding?"

"I am, but you may have to talk to Ellie and Morgan," Chuck told her. "And they aren't as easy as I am."

"Baby, no one is as easy as you are," she said, sliding out of the car, leaving him sitting there.

"Really?" he asked. His door swung open, and she pulled him out, and took him into the apartment.

A/N: Next time, the finale of Chuck and Sarah vs The Coffee Shop

"Are you ready?" Carina asked her.

"How can you ever not be ready to marry Chuck Bartowski?" she asked.

Carina and Zondra both faked sticking their fingers in their mouths and made gagging noises, as Sarah turned and walked away, a smile on her face.

See you next time!
