Warrick had gone to the grocery store and bought not only breakfast food but also other stuff for Sara. He never wanted to see her refrigerator that empty again. He pulled up in her driveway and shut off his vehicle. He got out and carried the groceries to her door. He had to set down some of the bags just to be able to knock. After waiting a few moments, she answered. The first thing she noticed was the numerous bags.
"I thought you said we were having breakfast, not a five course meal." She replied stepping aside to let him in.
"Oh we are, the rest of the stuff is for your fridge."
She just stared at him. She grabbed a few bags from his hands and led him to her kitchen. She placed them at the table and began taking the items out. She noticed he had picked up several cans of soup, macaroni and cheese, and plenty of veggie meals. She looked over at him. "You got all this for me?"
"Yeah I did. I'm tired of seeing you not taking care of yourself. Now you don't have much of choice." He pulled out a carton of eggs and some instant pancake mix. "So, what would you like for breakfast?"
"I'm not sure, you brought a lot of stuff." She began putting the items in their proper places.
"All right, I have an idea. Why don't I fix a huge breakfast and then you can decide on what you want." He walked over to her cabinets and began pulling out pots.
Sara was amazed that Warrick seemed to make himself right at home in her kitchen. He didn't even ask her where anything was; he just found it on his own. She couldn't take standing around and watching him any longer, she had to do something. "Need some help?"
"That's okay, besides I'm supposed to make breakfast for you." He gave her a grin. "Why don't you go sit down and relax and I will call you when it's done."
She thought about it for a minute. "Are you sure?"
He nodded. "Positive."
"In that case, do you mind if I take a shower?"
"Nope, go ahead. Breakfast should be ready when you come out."
She walked over and quickly kissed his cheek. "Thanks Warrick. I won't take too long I promise." She quickly left the room leaving Warrick alone.
His hand reached up and touched where she had kissed him. A smile played across his lips and he continued to fix breakfast. He heard the shower turn on and his mind began to fanaticize about being in the shower with her. 'Alright time to cool down.' He told himself. 'That's no way to be thinking about your co-worker and friend.' He focused his mind on cooking breakfast, but slowly the thoughts of Sara kept drifting back in. He wasn't sure how much longer he could go on without telling her how he felt.
Sara got out of the shower and quickly dried herself off. She pulled her wet hair back into a ponytail and slipped on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. She made her way into the kitchen and instantly smelled the food that now set on her table. As soon as she got closer, she realized that Warrick had cooked an entire feast. He had fixed eggs, pancakes, French toast, waffles, and he had cut up pieces of fruit. He also had two glasses filled with orange juice.
"Jeez Warrick, who are you planning on feeding, the US army?" She asked with a bit of humor in her voice.
"Well, I wasn't sure what you liked, so I fixed a bit of everything."
She shook her head. "Not everything. I see a few things that are missing."
"I have oatmeal and cereal on the counter." He countered and handed her a plate. "Dig in."
Sara smiled and took the plate from him. She got a little bit of everything to make Warrick feel better. She sat down at the table and waited until he was ready. They ate their meal in comfortable silence. Once they were done, Sara began gathering the dishes. "That was incredible Warrick. Thank you."
He got up and began helping her clear the dishes. She stopped him. "No, let me. You made breakfast, so I'll clean up."
He learned a long time ago never to argue with her. So he just nodded and sat back down at the table. After the dishes were done, both Warrick and Sara made their way to the living room. They sat down side by side on the couch. Sara turned toward Warrick. "Do you want to watch television or something?"
"I better go home and let you get some sleep."
"You don't have to go." She told him. He got up off the couch and smiled at her.
"You look exhausted, besides I have a few things to do at home."
Sara got up quickly and a wave of nausea hit her. She could feel herself falling back. Warrick caught her and sat her back down on the couch. She closed her eyes and waited for the room to stop moving.
Warrick was growing more and more worried about her. These dizzy spells were becoming more and more common. "Sara, are you okay?"
She opened her eyes and gazed into his. "Yeah, thanks for catching me."
"No problem but I still think you need to see a doctor."
"I'm fine. I think it's my body reacting without caffeine." She was pretty sure that's what it was, but from the look Warrick was giving her, he wasn't buying it.
"Sara." That one word was spoken with great volumes. She could hear the concern and love coming out. 'Wait a minute.' She thought to herself. 'Love?' No way, Warrick Brown couldn't possibly love her. She was just a sister to him. At least that's what she thought he felt. Now she wasn't too sure.
"You know, maybe I should get some sleep. I promised Nick I would have dinner with him tonight."
Warrick's face changed immediately. He didn't want Sara spending time with Nick anymore than she had to. It was all Nick's fault to begin with. Sara smiled at him. "I promise that nothing is going on between us. It's just a friend thing and he knows it. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten what he did."
"I'm just worried about you is all. I don't want him to hurt you again."
She walked over to him and hugged him. "He won't." She pulled away and smiled. "Thanks again for breakfast. You've been a great friend."
Warrick could still smell her shampoo. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I'm always here for you if you need me."
"I know." She walked with him to the door and opened it for him. She suddenly had this urge to kiss him. She could hear her mind screaming at her not to do it, but her heart seemed to yell louder. Sara grabbed Warrick's arm before he could walk out. "Warrick."
He turned around. "Yeah." Before he could say anything else, her lips were pressed firmly against his. It took his mind a moment to fully register what was happening, but when it did, his arms slipped around her pulling her closer. After a few breathless and passionate moments, she pulled away.
"I'll see you tonight." She said and let go of his arm.
"Bye Sara." He replied and watched as she shut the door. He stared at the door for a brief bit and walked away, unaware that Sara was leaning against the door with a huge grin upon her face.
