Sara still held the pup tightly. Nick noticed Sara and stopped walking, turning her to face him. "Hey.. you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, just... What Ecklie said.." Sara frowned and didn't look at him.
"Hey.. hey," He tilted her face up to his. "He's wrong... you're beautiful." He smiled at her and leaned in to kiss her.
Sara's heart raced as their lips touched, she felt like she was floating.
Nick pulled away and looked into her eyes as he whispered. "You're beautiful..."
Sara smiled at him and looked him in the eye. Nick resumed walking and took one of Sara's hands in his own. Sara smiled and looked at their hands. She smelled the air, she picked up a hint of his cologne, She sighed happily.
They walked in silence for a while until they came up to Sara's house. He stopped in front of it and looked at her. "So how was the night?"
She smiled, "All in all... amazing... apart from a few pests. You wanna come on for a bit?"
"Sure.." Nick smiled and followed Sara inside. "Nice place.."
"Smaller than yours!" Sara giggled, "Gil, Catherine, anyone in?"
Catherine was infront on the TV with Gil, she was asleep with her head rested on his chest.
Gil was leaned back in the chair asleep but when her heard Sara he woke up a bit, "Sara?"
"Sorry Gil, didn't know you were asleep... Nick walked me home..." She trailled off remembering the argument they had about her going out in the first place.
Gil looked at her, "How was it?"
Catherine opened her eyes but didn't move.
"It was good... I had fun, for the most part, Nick came in," She pulled Nick by the hand into the living room.
Nick looked around and shifted his feet. "Uh.. hi."
Catherine looked at Nick then Gil and back at Nick, "Hi Nick.."
"Hey Cath.."
"Nick..." Gil nodded.
Catherine smiled, "So much for our conversation earlier!" She grinned.
"Hi... " Nick smiled.
Nick looked confused at Catherine, "What conversation?"
Sara didn't let go of Nick's hand, "Want something to drink Nick?"
Catherine looked at him, "I asked you something, about someone.... ring any bells?"
"Sure..." Nick nodded and lightly squeezed Sara's hand.
Sara grinned and reluctantly let go of Nick.
"Oh... that... yea..." Nick smiled.
"So I take it you lied to me then Nicky?" Catherine said trying no to smile
"Well... no... at the time I wasn't... I wasn't sure..." Nick stammered.
Sara crashed and banged in the kitchen.
Catherine started to laughed, "It's ok Nicky! I'm kidding... I think I'll help Sara, Gil hunny, play nice with Nick." She kissed his cheek and went into the kitchen.
Sara looked at Catherine, "You didn't leave them alone did you? Gil might say or do something!"
"He won't, I told him to play nice... come on, let me help you..."
Gil looked at Nick. "So... what's going on with you and my sister?"
Nick looked around "Uh.... nothing... I mean... uh... we're going to go out..."
Gil eyed Nick suspiciously. "Just don't hurt her... she a good kid."
Nick smiled. "I won't... if anything... I'll protect her..."
Gil raised and eyebrow.
"From Conrad and Ecklie... they have been saying things... but I told them to back off.." Nick half-smiled.
Sara and Catherine walked back in, "Here you go," Sara handed Nick a glass of Coke.
Nick smiled up at her. "Thanks"
Catherine had her own cup of tea, "Did you want anything Gil?"
"No... I'm fine... just as long as you're by my side." Gil smiled and patted the seat next to him
Sara smiled back, "Ohh, Catherine you like my puppy?" Sara brought out the pup who still had to be named.
Catherine sat beside Gil, "Awww he's so cute, where did you get this? I want one!" She hugged the stuffed toy, "It's so soft... Gil what do you think?"
"It's cute, but it's a stuffed toy..." Gil smiled.
Sara sat down, "You can sit down Nick." She smiled.
Nick shook himself and smiled and took a seat next to Sara.
Sara looked at her brother, "You'd prefer a bug Gil!"
Catherine tried not to laugh, she yawned instead. "I should call a cab home."
"True... bug's serve more of a purpose than teddy bears.. er... dogs..."
"You not staying tonight Cath?" Sara asked with a pout.
"You should... please... for me..." Gil looked at Cath.
"Okay!" Catherine said being easily persuded.
Gil grinned and pulled Cath to him, kissing the top of her head.
Sara smiled at the two. They were like her and Nick, totally different, one a popular cheerleader, and the other a bigger geek than Sara. Sara chuckled to herself.
They'd been dating for two years despite what everyone else thought of the odd coupling. And now look at them, they were so close, Sara knew they'd get married some day, Gil and Catherine's relationship was a very mature one.
Nick smiled at Sara.
Catherine yawned again and stood up, "Come you, bed time." She pulled Gil up to her, "Night Nick, night Sara, don't stay up too long..." Catherine said and winked.
Sara went a deep shade of red.
Gil tossed a wave behind him and followed Cath
Nick took Sara's hand and lightly squeezed it
Sara looked at Nick nd smiled.
"So what did you wanna do now?"
She giggled, "Not bothered." she said remembering last time she kept saying 'not bothered' at Nick's.
Nick llooked at her and started tickling her sides.
"Noo, I'm so ticklish Nick! hehehe, Nick!" Sara couldn't speak she just laughed.
Nick paused for a second. "Now what did you wanna do?"
"I...I," Sara thought for a second, "I wanna do what you wanna do!" She said smartly.
Nick looked at her, astounded. then attacked her with tickles again.
Sara just laughed, she couldn't say stop or no, she could only laugh. Sara fell backwards off the couch.
Nick jumped up. "I'm so sorry, " He offered her his hand to help her up
Sara pouted and rubbed her head, "ouch..." She grinned and pulled him down.
Sara started to tickle Nick to see if he was ticklish.
Nick jumped and started laughing.. "Sara.... stop...... I'm..... warning ..... you...."
"Is that a threat Mr. Stokes?" she asked still tickling him.
"hahah... stop.... I can't..... breathe..." Nick said between laughs...
"Say uncle..." She continued to tickle him.
"shouldn't... it ... be ... aunt?" He gasped
"Say one or the other, I'm not bothered!" She continued to tickle him more.
Nick growled... "Uncle..."
Sara stopped and grabbed Nick's hands so he could start tickling her again.
"I win!" She gloated
Nick smiled at her.
Sara smiled and leaned in towards Nick.
NIck leaned towards Sara and kissed her
She thought to herself, *I'm sitting in my living room, on the floor, sitting on Nick Stokes, his hands in mine and kissing. Hope noone walks in, they'd get the wrong idea fast.*
Sara felt like the room was spinning, she loved kissing Nick, true she'd only done it once before but still she loved it.
Nick pulled back. "Now I'm gonna ask you one more time... what do you wanna do?"
Sara looked at him, "What do you want to do?" she asked.
Nick groaned and stood up. He walked over to the couch and sat down flicking on the tv
Sara rolled her eyes, "Wanna watch a movie? We haven't got a vast select, but we have some."
Sara yawned and went over to Nick and rested her head on his shoulder, "Or we could watch some TV."
his chest*
"not bothered...:"
Nick smiled
Sara kicked off her shoes and got comfy. She snuggled into Nick and sighed happily.
~Meanwhile~
Ecklie kicked the dirt.
Conrad looked over at him... "what the matter now? Nick? or Warrick?"
"Everything man... I wish those guys would suffer, I mean they think they own the place!"
"So what are you gonna do?" Conrad looked at Ecklie as if to say, there's nothing you can do to hurt those guys.
"Well, I dunno... what would hurt them?" He thought and sat on a bench.
Conrad thought for a minute.... "well what would hurt you the most?"
"Me? I dunno, what about you?" Ecklie didn't want to admit what it would be.
"I dunno man... besides i asked you first"
"I guess not to be popular, have no friends, that kinda thing... now you!"
"hmm... the thing that would hurt me the most... would be If someone I cared about or a close friend was targeted for some sort of attck or whatever... like if someone were to come beat you up or whatever..." Conrad stated
Ecklie smiled and looked at Conrad, "How much do you wanna be the most popular guy in school? Get the girls Nick and Warrick could? Including Catherine Willows!" Ecklie smiled knowing that used to be Conrad's soft spot.
"I'd do anything man... jeez I'd almost kill to be the most popular..." Conrad sighed.
Ecklie looked at Conrad waiting for it to come to his head too... "Sooooo....."
"you're not gonna kill Nick and Warrick are you?" onrad asked dumbly
Ecklie looked at Conrad and hit him over the heda, "No idiot!"
Conrad rubbed his head.. "oww"
"I don't wanna go to prison U dumbass!"
"Well then what are ya gonna do...?"
Ecklie sighed, "Man how do you drees yourself in the morning?"
"I dunno..." Conrad answered the rhetorical question
"Conrad think, what do you want? What do I want, how do you THINK we'd get it?" Ecklie stared at his slow friend.
"We hurt one! And say it was another u fool!"
Ecklie wished his friend was quicken up and realise what he was talking about.
"hey man lighten up on me.... it's late and my brain shuts down..." Conrad snorted. "So tell me your whole plan..."
"That was it! You come up with the main plan, I just came up with the idea!"
"but how?? how are we going to hurt them.??? that was the main Idea man... and i came up with it..."
"Lets go home, I'm beat... Plan tomorrow, Dream tonight." Ecklie said, "We''ll think about it tomorrow, sleep on it!"
MEANWHILE (AGAIN!)
Jan walked next to Warrick and twisted his white rose in her hands,
Warrick watched her and smiled.
She was deep in thought, thinking about the events of the night...
"You ok?" He asked.
Jan mentally shook herself and looked at Warrick. "Yea... just thinking"
"About?" Warrick was curious now.
"tonight... just everything that happened.." Jan shrugged not wanting to tel Warrick that Ecklie tried to kiss her, twice.
"Jan, why didn't you tell me the truth about the rose?"
Warrick finally asked the question that had plagued him since they left the mall.
"i dunno.. I guess I thought it didn't matter"
"Well, I guess... but if he done or said anything that crossed the line, you let me right?" Warrick asked wondering if she was holding back other things.
Jan looked around, nervously. "uh... yea.. sure" she finally answered, quietly
Warrick stopped and looked into Jan's eyes, "Jan?"
"What did he do?"
"Nothing.." Jan said trying to look convincing
"Jan..." Warrick wanted to know to kick Ecklie's butt, "Tell me, I swear I won't harm him."
"Warrick! I said nothing... okay... nothing happened...." Jan shouted. she turned away. "It's not a big deal.."
Warrick frowned, "Okay now I know something happened, Why won't you tell me? Don't you trust me? Did.... did you.... like it?" Warrick suddenly felt worried.
Warrick turned to the edge of the sidewalk and sat down on it.
"Of course I trust you Warrick.." Jan sat beside him. "But nothing happened... he just tried to kiss me... twice!" Jan admitted
Warrick gritted his teeth, "That's not nothing. He's out of order..." He put his arm around her.
Jan took his arm away. "Warrick... he looked at me, you freaked... he bought me a rose, you freaked again... that's why I didn't want to tell you that be tried to kiss me..." Jan looked at him. "Besides... I'm not seeing anyone... if he tried to kiss me it's his choice... but i didn;t let him... and it shouldn't be a big deal to you.... now if he tried to have sex with me or something.. then that would be totally different.."
"Jan I'm sorry... I..I juist really like you and I know what he's like... I dont know what I'd do if he tired to harm you... I have liked you for ages and he knows, he's done it before... I just don't want him to do anything like before to you..." Warrick looked into Jan's eyes and then to the ground, "I'm sorry..."
Jan smiled at him. "It's ok... I forgive you..."
Warrick still looked at the road.
Jan placed her hand on his shoulder. She turned his head so he was facing her.
Warrick looked at her. *She's so beautiful* he thought.
"C'mon... you still have to walk me home.." Jan said to Warrick, standing up.
Warrick stood up and began to walk beside her, he was tempted to put his arm around her... but after what she'd said 'Besides... I'm not seeing anyone... if he tried to kiss me it's his choice' he didn't.
Jan noticed Warrick withdrawl... "Hey.. wait... what's up?" She frowned at him.
Warrick shook his, "Nothing..." He looked confused.
"You sure... you seem withdrawn.. you having second thought about our date tomorrow night?"
"No! I mean I AM sure.... I can't wait until tomorrow... I just didn't know if I should put my arm around you or not... I mean after what you said..."
"About me not seeing anyone? Well I'm not.... yet..." Jan winked at him.
Warrick smiled, "Come on you tease!" He put his arm round her, "I'm putting my arm around you only because of the neighbourhood..." Warrick looked at the old folks home.
Jan looked around and laughed.
Warrick grinned, "You know old folks these days are dangerous!"
"O yea... with their canes and wheelchairs.." Jan joked
Warrick laughed, "Yeah! And don't forget the zimmer frame things!"
They turned down the street and Warrick's smile faded, "This is your street..."
"And this your house..."
"yea..." Jan smiled. "But I get to see you tomorrow..."
Warrick smiled, "I know! 7.. right?"
Jan nodded
"Cool..."
"Well, night..."
"Night!" Jan smiled and gave Warrick a hug.
Warrick grinned and hugged her back.
Jan walked into her house with a smile.
Warrick spun round and headed home.
