Sara wasn't sure why she was so nervous. She had changed her clothes three times before finally calling Nick and asking him what she should wear since she had no idea where they were going. When he told her she should wear a dress, her nerves intensified. It wasn't that she didn't own a dress; she just didn't often have an occasion to wear one since they weren't exactly the ideal attire for working crime scenes.

Nick knocked on her door at exactly seven o'clock wearing a pair of black slacks, a French blue shirt, a black tie, and his black leather jacket. When Sara opened the door, he grinned. She looked gorgeous in a simple black dress. He looked at her appreciatively. "You look beautiful, Sara."

"Thanks." She opened the door to let him in and suddenly felt awkward. "Uh, where are we going?"

Nick looked much more confident than he felt. "You'll just have to wait and see."

Sara glanced at him with a half smile as she grabbed her purse. "You do realize that this is just weird don't you?"

Nick chuckled softly and offered her his arm as they headed out her front door. "It's just me, Sara. Just relax, it'll be fun."

Sara still couldn't help but feel that the whole situation was a little too surreal though. Nick took her to a very posh restaurant for dinner where she just picked at her food; which made her feel even more nervous because she felt bad that Nick had gone to all this trouble and she wasn't even eating.

He just grinned at her from across the table. "You want to dance?" He gestured toward the small dance floor expectantly.

Sara let out a deep breath and shook her head. "Nick, I really appreciate what you're trying to do, but this just feels weird. I mean it's not you, it's just all of this." She gestured toward the surroundings."

He chuckled softly. "You want to get out of here and do something else?"

Sara studied him suspiciously.

He just shook his head. "Don't worry, Sara, I'm not going to try and seduce you."

Sara's eyebrows shot up and she looked as if she was going to say something.

"That is unless you want me to." He just grinned.

Sara laughed and finally started to relax. "Let's get out of here."

Nick called the waiter over so he could pay the check. He offered Sara his arm as they left the table.

When they climbed into his Denali she glanced over at him. "What are we going to do?"

"Plan B." He just grinned.

Sara looked at him inquisitively as they re-entered the Las Vegas traffic. A short time later they pulled into a parking lot. It took Sara a moment to figure out where they were. "Putt-putt golf?"

"Have you ever played?" Nick grinned.

"I guess I'm about to." Sara replied with a smile.

Who knew that nine holes of putt-putt golf could alter someone's perspective so much? Well, actually, it was the first hole that started it. Sara had no idea how to hold a golf club, let alone how to putt properly. Nick took the opportunity to show her and they both ended up laughing when Sara commented that his ass did a nice shimmy when he swung the club. Nick didn't try too hard not to stare at Sara's backside when she attempted her first putt. Sara caught him looking and blushed.

"What? It's a nice view." Nick looked like the cat that swallowed the canary.

Sara tried to look indignant. "Come over here. You're going to help me." Had Sara known what she was getting herself into, she might not have said that.

Nick stepped over to her and showed her how to hold the club and how to putt the ball by standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her.

Sara could feel her heart rate elevate as she felt Nick's breath on her neck. She didn't expect Nick to have that kind of effect on her, and damn did he smell good. By the fifth hole, Sara had kicked her shoes off and had really gotten into the game. By the seventh hole, she hugged Nick when she got a hole in one, and by the ninth hole, when she gave him a celebratory hug, she suddenly felt chemistry. As much as she hadn't wanted to go out with him to begin with, she didn't want the evening to end quite yet.

"So what now?" Sara looked at Nick expectantly.

He grinned at her. "What would you like to do?"

"Do you want to come over and watch a movie?" She asked a little nervously.

Nick grinned at her. "That's sounds like fun."

When they got to her house, she kicked her shoes off and popped some popcorn. She picked the longest movie she owned and popped it into the DVD player before joining Nick on the couch. He kicked off his shoes and removed his tie in an effort to make himself feel more comfortable. Nick put his feet up on the coffee table and held the bowl of popcorn in his lap. Sara tucked her legs underneath herself and found herself leaning against Nick as he rested an arm on the back of the couch.

As the movie progress, they drifted closer together, and Nick's arm draped across her shoulders. By the time the movie was halfway over, Nick found himself absentmindedly playing with her hair. Sara glanced up at him and smiled. In that instant, their eyes connected and they both froze.

In retrospect, neither of them remembered who moved first, but in the next instant, their lips were touching and the movie was all but forgotten as they began to taste and explore each other's mouths.

As they finally broke the kiss, Nick smiled at her and continued to play with her hair. "I've wanted to do that for a long time."

Sara smiled at him with a little disbelief. "You have?"

He nodded and leaned in and kissed her again.

When they broke apart again, Sara grinned. "Wow."

Nick chuckled. "So does that mean you're having a good time?"

Sara nodded. "Yeah." She leaned in and kissed him, getting lost in the sensation of his lips against hers.

They continued trading exploratory kisses even after the movie had ended. When they finally realized that it had ended, they broke apart laughing. Nick rested his forehead against hers. "I guess we missed the rest of the movie."

Sara giggled. "That's ok. This was a lot more fun."

"I should probably go home so you can get some sleep before shift." Nick let out a deep breath.

"That's probably a good idea." Sara conceded, sure that if he stayed much longer they might enter territory that neither of them were quite ready for.

Nick placed a soft sweet kiss on her lips. "Do you think you might want to do this again sometime?"

Sara looked into his eyes and nodded. "Yeah, I would."

"Good." Nick grinned. "Because so do I."
