"I don't think I've ever heard her that speechless." Nick quipped to Sara
after he'd hung up the phone with Chelsea.
Sara smiled, her eyes closed as she rested against Nick's chest. "You certainly had fun with that."
He chuckled. "Hey, what do you want to do today?"
"Do I have to get up?" Sara's voice was laced with sleepiness.
"No, you don't have to get up, but I think I'm going to get up." Nick replied, trying to ease himself out from under her.
Sara whined. "Nick, you were my pillow."
"You'll recover." He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek as he handed her one of the couch cushions. "I'm going to go take a shower; these jeans are starting to grow on me."
Sara just lifted her hand, not bothering to open her eyes. "Ok."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sara woke sometime later and as her eyes fluttered open, she stared out the windows toward the Gulf. From the look of the sky, it appeared that a storm was headed their direction. She lay there for a few minutes letting wakefulness overtake her, wondering where Nick had disappeared to. She finally pulled herself off of the couch, making a mental note that falling asleep in jeans wasn't very comfortable.
Hearing a series of blipping noises coming from one of the bedrooms, she slowly opened the door and poked her head in. She smiled as Nick looked like he was completely engrossed in a video game. She had a vague recollection that he'd mentioned that his parents had purchased an X-Box so his nieces and nephews could use it when they came and visited. He didn't even seem to notice that she'd opened the door, and so she closed it again and decided that a shower was in order.
When she emerged from the bathroom she donned a pair of track pants and a snug fitting T-shirt. She could still hear the sounds from the video game emitting from the other room. She smiled as she opened the door. This time Nick glanced up.
He grinned at her and paused the game. "Hey, you're awake."
"What are you playing?" She wandered over towards the bed.
Nick lifted the covers and invited her to sit down next to him. "Football."
She smirked as she climbed under the covers with him, noticing that he was clad only in his boxers and a T-shirt. "Football."
He raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you want to play?"
She chuckled and shook her head. "No, I'll just watch you."
"Ok, suit yourself." He turned his attention back to his game.
Sara was entirely amused as she watched him. However, she also was somewhat less amused that he seemed to hardly notice that she was there and decided to do something about it.
Nick was furiously working the game controller when he felt his boxer shorts move in a sudden upward motion. He let out a yelp and glanced over at Sara, his eyebrows arching upward.
She feigned an innocent expression and pointed toward the TV. "Uh, Nick, I think you've got a man down on the field."
Nick paused the game and lay down momentarily so he could lower his boxers to a more comfortable level. "You're very funny."
"But you love me." She grinned.
He leaned over and kissed her softly, grinning as he pulled away. "Yes, I do." He turned his attention back to the game.
Sara tried to swallow a grin as she watched him completely absorbed in his video game. Apparently, she was going to have to work at distracting him.
"Sara!" The pitch of Nick's voice was elevated as his boxers again moved swiftly upward, aided by the hand of Sara.
"Ooh. I think the other team scored a touchdown." She pointed at the TV, her brows furrowed in mock concern.
Nick smirked and paused the game, laying down and tugging his boxers out of the upper recesses of his nether region before sitting back up. "You know, you're asking for it." He leaned over and kissed her again briefly.
She just grinned at him, amused at how effective this strategy of distracting him was.
Nick once again turned his attention to his game. He was just about to score a touchdown, when he felt her yank his boxers upward again. There was a waver in his voice as he glanced over at her, both eyebrows raised. "Sara." He paused the game and lay down to tug his boxers out of where she'd wedged them and then sat back up.
Sara bit her lip to keep from laughing. "I'm sorry."
He kissed her briefly and then smirked. "No you're not." It was all he could to not smile. He picked up the game controller and resumed the game.
Sara watched him with interest, waiting until he was fully absorbed in his game before she reached over again. This time, she was the one that got the surprise. Instead of grabbing onto the back of his boxers, she found herself grabbing at his bare butt. Apparently, Nick had grown tired of her giving him wedgies and decided to just pull his boxers down.
"Oh!" Sara's eyebrows shot up and she blushed.
Nick paused the game and glanced over at her and started laughing. "I told you that you were asking for it."
She had a sheepish expression on her face. "I'm sorry."
He shook his head. "No you're not."
Sara leaned over and kissed him. "Ok, no I'm not." Nick deepened the kiss as Sara slid her arm around his neck and grabbed onto the front of his T- shirt as she lay back on the mattress, pulling him with her.
It wasn't until Nick was nestled between Sara's legs, and his boxers were down somewhere around his ankles, one of his hands was up her shirt and the other was beginning to tug at the waistband of her track pants that Sara mumbled something against his mouth that stopped them cold.
Nick pulled away, trying to catch his breath, a bewildered expression on his face.
Sara repeated herself. "Do you have any protection?" Her voice was husky.
Nick shook his head. "I'm not exactly prepared since we weren't even dating when we came down here and I didn't think we'd be doing this."
She closed her eyes for a moment and then let out a deep breath, looking up at him. "I'm sorry; I didn't think we would either."
Nick leaned down and gave her a quick kiss before he rolled off of her and reached under the covers to pull his boxers back up. He glanced over at her and smiled. "Maybe we should go to the store."
"Good idea." Sara was still trying to catch her breath when she got out of bed. She raised a curious eyebrow at him as he still lay there. "Are you coming?"
With a smirk he rolled onto his side and shook his head. "In a minute. I've got a little situation that I need to get under control first."
Sara smiled, her eyes closed as she rested against Nick's chest. "You certainly had fun with that."
He chuckled. "Hey, what do you want to do today?"
"Do I have to get up?" Sara's voice was laced with sleepiness.
"No, you don't have to get up, but I think I'm going to get up." Nick replied, trying to ease himself out from under her.
