Sara stepped out her Tahoe and walked towards the diner they all usually
went to. It was small but lovely food. Nick walked behind her and grabbed
the door, pushing it open for Sara, then walking in behind her, they headed
for their usual booth. "Thanks babe." Sara smiled and sat in the booth. She
took a menu and glanced at it.
"Hi guys what can I get you?" The waitress asked.
"Umm... I'll have a coffee... and a stack of pancakes please..." Nick said as he glanced at the menu.
"And you?"
"Ummm, just a coffee." Sara smiled as the waitress walked away. She looked at Nick and smiled.
"Not hungry??" Nick asked.
Sara shook her head. She grinned and took Nick's hand, she played with the silver ring on his hand.
Hank pulled up at the diner and walked in, spotting Sara sitting with another person. He walked down next to them, recognizing Nick as the one she was with. "Uh. Hey Sara..." He finally spoke. Frowning a little, seeing Nick's hand in hers.
"Hank?!" Sara said startled by his presence. "Hi..."
"You guys just get off work?" He asked, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
"Yup... you?" Sara asked still holding Nick's hand.
"My shift ended a few hours ago... I just came here for some breakfast... " Hank shrugged.
Sara nodded and looked at Nick. She let go of his hands. "Us too."
"So... uh... are you two... you know... going out?" Hank asked, hoping she'd say no, so he could ask her out again.
Sara looked at Nick, yeah they were on a date but where they going out?
"'Cause I was wondering, if you didn't have any plans... did you want to go see a movie with me?" Hank asked, taking a chance.
Sara looked at Hank, 'Is he for real?' Sara couldn't speak...
Nick had chosen to remain silent up until now, when Hank made the move to ask Sara out. He didn't want to just claim Sara as his property or anything as it might upset her, but he didn't want to see Hank and Sara... together. "Uh... Me and Sara actually already have plans..." Nick finally said.
Sara looked at Nick, she looked thankful. "Sorry Hank..." Sara looked at him
Hank looked at Nick, giving him a hard look, then turning to Sara. "It's fine... maybe another time... you know... as friends..." Hank gave her a smile and walked away.
Sara smiled and moved beside Nick. "Thank you..." She kissed his cheek unaware that Hank could see her.
"Not a problem... it was my pleasure..." Nick grinned.
Sara rested her head on his shoulder and played with his ring again. She always thought it was sexy on him.
"So... if I wasn't here... would you have said yes? To Hank I mean... would you have gone out with him?" Nick asked curiously.
"If the other night never happened, I don't know. But because it did I would say no." Sara said as she looked up to Nick.
Nick nodded and smiled at Sara, laying his arm lazily across the back of the seat as the waitress brought them their food and drinks. "Thanks" Nick said and took a sip of his coffee and began to eat some pancakes.
Sara watched him munch. 'I'm falling in love.' she thought.
As the two arrived back at Nick's Sara smiled at Nick's photos. There was a few of her. She walked to the couch remembering the last time she was here.
Nick walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch next to her.
Sara snuggled into him, "When did you take this?" she asked holding up a photo of her at work covered in mud.
"I had an extra photo left on the roll I was using on that case. I went to go get it developed, passed the garage on the way and snapped the picture. I'm surprised you didn't notice." Nick smiled.
"Ohh well... Nick... how long have you liked me?" Sara asked turning to looked up at him.
"It's been a while... about a month or so I guess... maybe more..." Nick estimated
"Ohh." Sara grinned, she began playing with his ring again. "I liked you before Hank came along."
"Really?! Then why did you go out with him?"
"Because he made me feel... wanted and loved."
Nick nodded, understanding. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and gently pulled her to him. Smiling she rubbed his cheek and kissed him again. Nick smiled, kissing her back, and dropping his arm from her shoulders to her waist.
Sara sat up and looked at him. "Maybe we should umm... move." She said looking at the size of the couch compared to both of their body sizes.
"I agree..." Nick smiled. He scooped Sara up in his arms and walked towards his bedroom, shutting the door with his foot.
Sara woke up later. This time she didn't feel worried but content. Snuggling into Nick she pulled the covers up. Nick stirred in his sleep and could feel Sara next to him. He wrapped his arms around her tighter and pulled her closer to him. Her cell started to ring. Groaning she leaned over Nick and checked her caller ID. "Hank?"
Nick opened his eyes immediately. "Don't answer it..." he said softly rolling over on his side and taking her hand in his, away from the phone.
"But he'll keep calling..." Sara heard her cell start again. "See."
"Give it here..." Nick took the phone and answered it. "Hank?"
"Who's this? Can I speak to Sara?"
"This is Nick... and Sara can't come to the phone right now... "
"What? Why? Why are YOU answering her cell? Let me speak to her...." Hank ordered.
Sara watched Nick and she could hear Hank. Groaning she rolled over and put the pillow over her head.
"I told you... she can't talk to you right now... " Nick argued.
"Stokes, just let me talk to her!"
Nick covered the receiver and looked over at Sara. "You wanna talk to him?" he whispered.
Sara grumbled, "What Hank?"
"Sara... Hi..." Hank's voice noticeably softened. "How are you? How come you didn't answer the phone?"
"Cause I was sleeping..."
"Oh... sorry..." Hank cleared throat. "So... umm... Sara... do you think we could get together for drinks today sometime... to talk and stuff..."
"Hank, Listen, you have not guessed but I'm with Nick." "With?? What do you mean, 'with'?? You two are going out??" Hank asked all at once.
"Yes Hank... Nick and I are together" Sara sighed. "That's why you didn't get me on my house phone."
"Sara... ok, I get that you two are 'dating'..." Hank cringed at the word, "But can we still meet up for coffee or something, like old times..."
"What you mean behind your girlfriends back again..." Sara felt her temperature rise.
"We-uh.... we broke up yesterday... that's why I came to see you..." Hank admitted softly.
Sara groaned, "And thought you could win me back!?"
"Well... No... No... I - uh... I just wanted to talk to you,.. that's all..." Hank tried to defend himself.
"About what Hank? How you used me? How you lied to my face?"
"Sara... I... I... I'm sorry... "
"SORRY!? Hank you can't begin to be sorry!" Sara shouted.
Hank sighed into the phone and quietly said goodbye as he hung up.
"GOD! The nerve!" Sara shouted as she dropped her cell.
Nick was lying on the bed, looking at her. "So what did he say??"
"Hey said he was sorry and wants to meet up 'as friends'."
"Well maybe he was really sorry... But then again, it's Hank... You know, I never really liked that guy, just something about him...." Nick mused.
Sara smirked and looked at Nick, "Cause he had me?"
"Ha ha... probably..." Nick smiled. "But I'm with you now so I guess there's nothing to worry about hey?"
Sara smiled and snuggled into Nick, "Should I? Should I go meet with him I mean..."
Nick looked surprised at her. "Huh? uh, well um... I-I guess you could... but..." Nick obviously didn't want Sara to spend any time with Hank that didn't relate to work.
"Not as a date but I mean just to hear him out... or is it a bad idea?" Sara looked back.
"Sara... I'm not gonna tell what you should or shouldn't do... I'm not that kind of person... If you feel like you want to meet up with him and have a friendly conversation or whatnot, then do it. But if you don't want to, then don't go..."
"I don't know Nick... What would you do?"
"Hmm, would I meet up with my old boyfriend, Hank?" Nick chuckled. "No, I probably wouldn't, I'd just tell him to go screw himself... but I'm biased cause I just don't like the guy, frankly..." Nick said
"Hmmm," Sara said hugging Nick, "I need sleep..." She placed her head on Nick's chest.
"Then sleep..." Nick said, wrapping his arms around her, stroking her back.
"Hi guys what can I get you?" The waitress asked.
"Umm... I'll have a coffee... and a stack of pancakes please..." Nick said as he glanced at the menu.
"And you?"
