~ Chapter 5 - Sara ~

*Sara's point of view*

*Okay, so I'm lying in a bed...that's not mine. With an arm on my stomach...that's not mine. And I've got the most irritating headache. Definately mine.*

I look up and I see Nick covering me, making sure I'm covered up as I sleep my way through the night. The last night comes flooding back to me, as I realise all the things Nick and I said and did. None of which I know I didn't regret. Let's just hope Nick feels the same way.

He made pretty sure he expressed his feelings last night. He was...terrific. The best lover I have ever had. It wasn't just sex. I know that for sure. And I know it sounds cliche, but it was love making. I was expressing my love for him, and I'm sure he was to me.

I never realised just how gorgeous he was when he sleeped. His eyelids flutter every now and then, as his dreams take him through new adventures. His mouth twitches into a smile as he begins to enjoy his thoughts. I can't believe I had never realised before. I have known him forever, or so it seems, and it's only now I notice the small details.

I had only ever noticed the big things about him. One being...well, big. Ha. And two, his gorgeous body. And three, to be honest the most important thing, is his personality. I honestly never believed there was a perfect man, but I know that Nick is. He was hilarious the first time I met him...

~ Flashback ~

Gil Grissom. Gil Grissom had been taking photographs of three dummies that were thrown over the roof of the building. I didn't even think about another CSI being there. The CSI throwing the dummies was unthought of. I could only see Grissom at the scene, and that's all I thought of.

That is until, somebody else came up behind me.

'Hey Griss, which is it then? 1, 2 or 3? My money's on he was pushed.' Speech quickly followed by a soft quiet chuckle. Totally Texan.

'Hey Nicky, well you're right. He was pushed. Great dummy throwing.'

'Cheers Griss, cheers.'

You could tell the extra sarcasm in his voice was there, and by the tone of his voice, he was a definate charmer.

I had busied myself with looking at the dummies, even though I didn't know much about the case. I had to pick the best time to jump into their conversation, since I didn't want to seem rude to interrupt.

'Hey Sara, come here. I'd like to introduce you...'

Nick looked up and for the first time, noticed a brunette standing a few metres away. Strange, he hadn't noticed her before, yet he had no problem in talking to her.

'Sara Sidle, Nick Stokes. Nick, this is Sara. Nick has just turned into a CSI level 3, one of the best of my staff. Sara has just been transferred from San Fransisco. She's come to help with the short staff after what...um, after what is happening with Holly.'

'Oh. Well hey. Nice to meet you. You'll love it here, Laz Vegas? Never short of any crime scenes.' Again that texan drawl and chuckle. How attractive.

'Yeah, looking forward to it. Enjoying level 3 so far?'

'Oh yeah, definately enjoying the extra paperwork and hours!' Another chuckle. Total charmer, definately...humour too, how perfect.

I knew it was that moment we clicked. If only I hadn't wasted all my time on Grissom. I mean, Nick put aside, what did I ever see in him? He's not even charming, always serious all the time. He should lighten up. Yeah, that's it. Grissom should lighten up and live. Nick's really made me take pleasure in life, and who knows...maybe he'll show me more things.

I look up at Nick again, and he's still smiling. Bless him, he's like a little kid in a big man's body. But maybe that's a Nick Stokes trademark, the kiddy humour and the adorable looks. I'm glad I met Nick, he's perfect.

What did you think? Nick's point of view next! :)
