The four of them made their way to the Denali and climbed in. Lindsey and Hannah were both asleep before they had left the car park.
"Thanks for the horse Nick." Sara yawned but covered it with a grin.
"Hey no problem, you survived two ten year olds – you deserve it."
"Mm that was fun." She replied her eyes heavy.
"Yeah it was. Listen do you um...I mean would you like to come to the movies with me again, another time like..." He paused for a moment and looked at Sara who was fast asleep. "Like a date." He finished sighing.
"Way to go Stokes." He chided himself. "You work up the courage and she falls asleep." He muttered as he continued the drive back to his townhouse with three sleeping passengers.
He pulled up in his usual park out the front and ran up to unlock his front door. He also ran inside and quickly turned down the sheets on the bed in the spare room before returning to the car. Pulling a sleeping Hannah out first he carefully carried her to the bed and lay her down before returning to get Lindsey. He'd hoped that Sara might have woken up but she slept on. Skilfully opening the door she was leaning against he scooped her up surprised by how light she was and carried her back into his bedroom and pulled the comforter over her before going back to the Denali once more to get bags, boxes, jackets and to lock it. As he placed everything down and locked the door an idea sprang into his head causing a smile to form on his face. Quietly going back into his room he placed the stuffed horse under Sara's arm grinning as she pulled it closer to him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Sara woke up a few hours later she was disorientated to say the least. She looked around and realised she was in Nick's room and grinned as she noticed the toy in her arms. Pulling herself out of the bed she opened the door and made her way out to eh lounge room where the TV was playing softly.
"Hey sleeping beauty." Nick smiled finally noticing her standing there.
"Hey. Sorry I fell asleep." She grinned sheepishly.
"You obviously needed some sleep." He motioned her over to the couch and held up the blanket he was sitting under.
"Thanks." She grinned sitting down and huddling under it. "What are you watching?" She questioned still trying to fully wake up.
"Cool Hand Luke." He replied taking a sip of his beer.
"Paul Newman classic." She grinned. "This is more the sort of movie I'd picture you to watch."
"Well I'm watching it." He grinned back at her. "Want one?" He said pointing to the beer.
"Yeah I will thanks." She replied after thinking for a brief moment. Nick got up and walked into the kitchen and returned a moment later with a new beer for himself and one for Sara. He handed her one and placed his on the table before he sat down.
"CRIKEY!" Nick jumped in the air before realising it was girls Happy Meal toy that was still in his pocket. Sara sat there trying to bite her tongue to keep herself from laughing but was unsuccessful.
"Where you keeping those to play with after we left Nick." She said in between her laughter.
"I honestly forgot they were in my pocket." He said putting them on the table.
"Sure you did." She winked.
"That's it you're asking for it." He said as he pinned Sara down and began tickling her. She squealed in response trying to get free. "Crikey mate I've got me a feisty one here." He said continuing his assault. "She's putting up a good fight, rolling around." The fell from the couch to the floor and Nick was now straddling Sara still tickling her holding her hands above her head with one of his own.
"Ain't she a beauty folks?"
"UNCLE! UNCLE!" Sara panted and was glad when Nick finally stopped put still had her pinned down. "You're mean." She pouted.
"Hey, I'm not the one who started this! Admit I didn't keep those toys to play with."
"No." Sara replied simply.
"Come on or I'm going to start tickling you again." He said with mischief in his eye.
"Uh uh."
"Alright, but don't say I didn't give you the chance." He tickled her again and she began giggling again.
"Ok, ok! You didn't keep the toys to play with! You didn't keep them!" She squealed in between giggles. Nick stopped and looked at her triumphantly.
"I just got Sara Sidle to admit she was wrong!" He grinned.
"Don't get used to it Stokes." She smirked.
"Big talker hey? Don't forget the position you're in." He countered grinning. It was now that the pair did realise the proximity of each other and they both looked at each other awkwardly. Before Nick knew what he was doing he leant down and brushed her lips with his own lightly, pulling back to gauge her reactions he noticed her eyes had fluttered closed. He leant back down and was about to kiss her again when they heard a scream from the spare room. Sara's eyes flashed open and concern immediately flooded into them. Nick jumped up, helping Sara up before they both ran to where the girls where sleeping.
"What's the matter?" Nick asked as he and Sara flew through the bedroom door to find Lindsey and Hannah standing on the bed screaming.
"There was a spider on my face!" Hannah screamed.
"Alright how about I lift you off the bed and you go into the lounge room with Sara and I'll find the spider.
"Ok." They replied finally calming down. Nick walked over and the two girls clung to him and he carried them to the door and put them down next to where Sara stood. They immediately ran into the lounge room. Sara smirked at Nick.
"Now you get to try out your skills Nick Irwin: Crocodile Hunter." She chuckled before leaving Nick to find the spider.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He emerged triumphantly about ten minutes carrying the spider on a magazine. He unlocked the front door and flipped it outside before returning back inside with a grin on his face.
"The room is all clear."
"Thank you Uncle Nick." Lindsey said from where she was seated on the couch next to Hannah watching 'The Little Mermaid'.
"So how about you two get dressed into your pyjamas and then you can watch the rest of this movie." Sara said emerging from the kitchen. The two girls nodded and ran to get into their pyjamas so they could watch the rest of the movie. "Do you girls want some warm milk?" She called after them.
"Yes please!" Came the muffled reply from in the bedroom. Sara grinned awkwardly at Nick before going back into the kitchen. He watched her retreating form grinning before turning his attention back to the girls who had surfaced from the bedroom and were back on the couch watching the movie.
Sara was carefully watching the milk in the microwave when she felt Nick's hands slide around her waist.
"I think we need to talk." He whispered in her ear causing her to shiver unconsciously.
"Yeah." She replied quietly. Not sure what Nick was going to say, worried he was going to admit that it was a mistake. Her fear was eradicated a moment later when Nick turned her around and his lips planted a quick kiss that was laced with promise. He pulled away and looked and Sara with a goofy grin.
"I better check on the girls." He said winking at her and leaving her to watch his find rear leave the room.
