Shift was over and Nick found Sara in the locker room muttering under her
breath as she shoved things into her locker.
He chuckled. "That bad, huh, babe?"
She glanced over at him and smiled. "Turns out after processing this guy's house, that he'd put a few things in storage that he'd conveniently forgotten about."
Nick raised an eyebrow. "Insurance fraud?"
"Sure as hell looks like it." She closed her locker and leaned back against it. "So, I assume Catherine gave you the third degree."
He chuckled. "Of course, and I assume Warrick did the same."
She nodded and smiled. "I just didn't count on slipping like that to Grissom. What a way to start your day. 'Oh, by the way, Gris, Nick and I are getting it on after hours'."
"He was going to find out eventually. Besides, I like getting it on with you." Nick grinned suggestively.
Sara raised an amused eyebrow. "I know, you made that abundantly clear, several times I might add."
Nick stepped toward her, placing his hands on her hips, and leaned down and started to kiss her neck. In between kisses, he murmured. "Mmmn. I think I'd like to try that several more times."
Sara giggled and slid her arms around his neck. "Baby, we might want to take this somewhere else."
Nick slid his hands down and cupped her butt, bringing his lips up to meet hers. He pulled away smiling. "Your place or mine?"
Sara looked into his eyes grinning. "I think we should go to mine, I didn't think ahead about needing a change of clothes, and I think these might be able to stand up by themselves. You have to promise me something."
Nick raised both of his eyebrows. "Ok, what?"
She tilted her head. "We have to get some sleep. I can't live on just you and coffee."
Nick feigned a hurt expression. "Oh, and how come? I could live on just you."
Sara giggled. "As flattering as that is, Nicky, I need some sleep."
Nick grinned. "Ok, we'll get some sleep." He looked at her quizzically. "Can we do this first though?" He leaned down and kissed her again.
Sara giggled against his lips. As she broke the kiss, she just shook her head in amusement. "Nick, have I mentioned how horny you are?"
Nick waggled his eyebrows at her. "Yeah, you've mentioned that a time or two, but I love you and it does things to me."
Sara smiled. "I love you too, baby." She leaned up and kissed him.
The sound of a set of keys hitting the floor, caused them to break the kiss. They turned toward the sound where a shocked Greg stood.
"Hey, Greg." Nick greeted as he released Sara from his embrace.
Greg nodded at Nick, but his eyes were riveted on Sara.
Sara smiled. "Greg. How's it going?"
Greg just nodded again.
Sara glanced at Nick who had a bemused grin on his face. "Do you want to tell him, or do you want me to tell him?"
Nick chuckled. "Sara, I'm pretty sure the kiss was a dead giveaway, but in case that didn't do it, I'm sure my hand on your ass got his attention."
"Actually, I've been standing here for a while." Greg whispered softly.
Sara looked over at Greg again who now had a look of disappointment on his face. "Greg, are you ok?"
"Why didn't you guys tell me?" He looked genuinely hurt.
Sara's expression softened. "Hey, we only decided to go public with this after last shift."
Greg glanced at Nick.
"It's true, man. No one knew anything until yesterday morning." Nick hoped that Greg wasn't too upset. He knew how the lab tech had harbored a crush on Sara for a long time.
Greg tried to crack a smile and looked at Sara. "Well, if things don't work out with Nick, I'm your man."
Sara chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind."
Nick feigned a hurt expression. "Hey."
Sara grinned at Nick and placed a hand on his chest. "You know I love you."
Nick leaned toward her grinning. "I know, I love you too." He placed a soft sweet kiss on her lips.
Greg cleared his throat.
The pair pulled away smiling. Sara looked at him apologetically. "Sorry, Greg." She turned her attention back to Nick. "Oh, and food would be good too."
Nick grinned. "Ok. I'll pick something up."
Sara chuckled. "Oh, wait, I didn't drive."
"I know." Nick laughed softly.
"I'll see you guys later." Greg still had disappointment on his face as he left the locker room.
Nick and Sara absentmindedly waved at his retreating form as they gathered their things and headed toward the parking lot together.
Greg found the rest of the nightshift crew assembled in the break room.
"Did you find Nick and Sara, Greg?" Grissom queried him.
Greg nodded mutely.
Warrick glanced at Greg with a little concern. "You ok, Greg?"
Greg nodded and finally looked up. "They're dating."
Catherine and Warrick exchanged a glance. Everyone knew that Greg had a thing for Sara.
Grissom interjected. "Are they coming with us to breakfast?"
Greg shook his head.
"Did you invite them?" Grissom wanted to know.
Greg shook his head again.
Catherine looked somewhat amused. "Greg, then how do you know they aren't coming?"
He looked at Catherine directly in the eye, still looking a bit shell shocked. "From what I overheard, I think they were going to Sara's to have sex."
"Let's go to the diner then." Catherine turned and headed toward the door. Warrick and Grissom followed.
Greg stood there stunned for a moment then followed them out muttering. "Just how long have you guys known? Did everyone else in the lab know? Why am I always the last one to find out about things like this? Damn, Nick's a lucky man."
He chuckled. "That bad, huh, babe?"
She glanced over at him and smiled. "Turns out after processing this guy's house, that he'd put a few things in storage that he'd conveniently forgotten about."
