Greg and Warrick weren't really surprised to find Sara at Nick's. In fact
they expected that she would be. Beyond that, they weren't really sure
what they expected besides getting to sit in Nick's hot tub. Warrick was
convinced that Sara was going to make a move on Nick and Greg was convinced
that Nick was going to make a move on Sara. They had no idea that Nick and
Sara were aware of their little bet.
That little piece of information had been given to both Nick and Sara
separately by Catherine, who seemed entirely amused by the whole situation.
Nick, Sara, Warrick, and Greg were all sitting in the hot tub chatting and laughing. Sara glanced over at Nick and raised a curious eyebrow. "Is there any more Chunky Monkey in the freezer?"
Nick wrinkled his brow. "I'm not sure, how many pints did you buy?"
She giggled. "How many did you eat?"
Nick had a sheepish grin. "I only had two. It's not like you didn't have some yourself."
Greg and Warrick watched the banter curiously.
Sara pulled herself out of the hot tub. "I'm going to go get some. I'm starving." As she stood up and wrapped a towel around the waist of her bikini clad body, she glanced back. "You'd think I was eating for two or something."
Greg and Warrick exchanged a surprised glance.
Nick just leaned back and closed his eyes. He could tell that Greg and Warrick were a little curious.
"Hey, Nick!" Sara yelled from inside the house. "Do you have any pickles?"
"I think so, unless you ate them all." He called back without opening his eyes.
Warrick studied Nick for a moment.
"Where's the peanut butter?" Sara called out again.
"In the cupboard by the fridge." He called back. Nick muttered softly to himself. "I'm gonna have to go shopping, she's gonna eat me into the poor house."
"What was that, man?" Greg asked curiously.
Nick opened his eyes. "Oh, nothing. I'm just running a little low on some of my groceries."
Warrick raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.
As Sara emerged from the house, pint of Chunky Monkey in one hand and a peanut butter and pickle sandwich in the other, she sat down on the deck. She glanced over at Nick and wrinkled her forehead. "Nick, do I look fat?"
Warrick started to chuckle and glanced at Nick. "That's a question no man should answer."
Nick chuckled.
Sara looked over at Warrick. "What do you think, Warrick?"
Warrick didn't say anything.
She looked at Greg who was uncharacteristically silent. "Greg?"
Greg averted his gaze from Sara.
Nick tried to change the subject. "Hey, Sara, did you ever decide if you wanted me to set you up with my buddy Paul?"
With a mouth full of peanut butter and pickle sandwich she shook her head. "Yes, I decided, but no I don't want to go out with him. I'm actually interested in someone else."
Warrick and Greg exchanged a confused glance.
Nick raised an eyebrow. "Anyone I know?"
She waggled her eyebrows as she finished the last of her sandwich. "Maybe." As Sara started to dig into the ice cream, she made a face and quickly set the ice cream down. "Excuse me, I'm not feeling so good." Sara ran into the house holding her hand over her mouth and disappeared presumably into the bathroom.
Warrick and Greg both looked concerned.
Nick glanced over at them as he pulled himself out of the hot tub. "I'm gonna go check on Sara."
They nodded in return. After Nick disappeared into the house, Greg looked at Warrick. "Do you think?"
"That Sara's pregnant?" Warrick finished. "Damn. I didn't even think she was dating anyone."
"Do you think that Nick?" Greg began.
Warrick shook his head. "No, if there had been something like that between them, I know I would have heard about it."
Meanwhile inside the house, Nick knocked on the bathroom door. Sara slowly opened it and Nick joined her inside, sliding his arms around her waist. The pair dissolved into quiet laughter.
Nick smiled at Sara. "Not to sully your reputation, but I'm pretty sure that the two of them are wondering if you're pregnant."
Sara grinned, her hands splayed out on his chest. "Maybe I should move to Hollywood."
Nick chuckled. "No, because then you'd be too far away from me." He leaned down and gently kissed her.
Sara smiled against his lips. "Mmm. I like that."
As they broke apart, Nick raised an eyebrow at her. "You taste like peanut butter and pickles."
She tilted her head and giggled. "What do you think?"
"Not bad." Nick leaned in and kissed her again. As he pulled away he looked into her eyes and grinned. "We should get back, they're going to wonder."
Sara giggled. "Let's see what kind of rumors they start now."
Nick grinned at Sara, raising an amused eyebrow. "Oh, and by the way, there's no way you could ever put fat and Sara in the same sentence. To me you're perfect." His thumbs caressed her waist and he leaned in and kissed her once more before stepping out of the bathroom and heading back outside where Warrick and Greg looked like they were in deep conversation.
Sara emerged a few minutes later to rejoin them. She gave Nick the pint of Chunky Monkey ice cream to finish off.
