Sara sighed and she got out and rang the bell.
Nick ruffled his hair a bit as she walked to the door and opened it. "Hey Sara."
Sara's face was tear stained, she couldn't speak, *What do I do?* "Where were you two nights ago?"
"I thought I already told you... I had to run back to the lab to finish up some extra paper work on a pending case." Nick said, a little confused.
Sara looked him in the eye, "Are you sure?"
"Why wouldn't I be sure?"
"I was told you were at a club." She looked him in the eye again, "With someone."
"Well whoever told you that is a liar... Sara, you know me... you know I'd never cheat on you..." Nick said, looking deep in her eyes, trying to make her see the truth.
"I... I'm sorry Nick, but Hank said..."
"Hank?! Well there you go... he lied to you about his relationships and now he's lying to you about me..." Nick said angrily. "Sara, who do you trust more... him or me?"
"You, but Nick you gotta understand, the stories that used to fly about the lab..." Sara said as a tear rolled down her cheek again.
"I know, I know... Sara, I've had plenty of dates, and a lot of those stories were just that, stories. But never once, have I EVER, cheated on ANY of my girlfriends. Sara, you are too important to me..."
Sara smiled at him, "I'm sorry Nick, I was just scared."
"That's ok... I know..." Nick wrapped his arms around her and kiss the top of her head. . . Sara woke up and looked around Nick's apartment, "Nick?"
Nick had woken up early that morning, not getting much sleep. He still felt angry that Hank would tell Sara lies about him. He wanted to find him and tell him that he was an ass, but he decided against it. He was on the couch in the living room with a cup of coffee, watching the news, when he heard Sara calling out to him. "In Here..."
Sara smiled and grabbed one of Nick's shirts, "Hey you." She said kissing him, "You ok?"
Nick gave her a light smile. "Yea... I'm fine... Just thinking that's all..."
"About..."
"Last night... me, you... hank..." Nick made a face when mentioning Hank's name.
"Nick, promise you won't say anything to him.... or hurt him."
Nick smirked at her. "Well I'm not too sure I can make that promise..." he said half-serious.
"Nick! You have a night off, I can't be with you when I'm at work... Nick, promise me."
"Sara... I wanna give him a piece of my mind and let him know what and ass he is... and that if he ever goes near you..." Nick paused, letting his voice soften. "I just want him to leave us alone... to get on with our lives..."
Sara sat in front of him, "Nick... he will, just don't get yourself into trouble over me."
Nick sighed slightly, but agreed, nodding. "Ok... I'll leave it alone for now.... and only because you asked me too"
"Good," She smiled and kissed his forehead. "I love you."
"I love you too..." Nick wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her onto his lap.
"Mmmm." Sara grinned, "I gotta go. I have work in a few hours."
"Mmm... no.... call in sick... tell Grissom it's a family emergency..." Nick grinned, kissing her.
"Ummmm Nick, when have I EVER called in sick... he might work it out. He IS a CSI..." Sara laughed.
"I don't want you to go.... but I know you have to..." Nick gave up with a sigh, smiling. He released her and kissed her gently. "Ok... go on, you have to get ready..."
"Ok." She walked towards the bathroom. Sara grinned and ran back behind him and started to hug and kiss Nick again, "Ok, I'm done..."
Nick smiled at her, and chuckled as he left the living room and went to get dressed.
