The Way It Is
By: Anti Darth Ani
Chapter two, chapter two. Hey, stop throwing your shoe at me!! I'm not that…. bad - at least I hope not. Tell me what you think!! I hope to update this fan-fic as fast as I can with every new chapter. I'm working on another fan-fic at the same time, so it might be a little hard.
In case you didn't read my little note at the end of the first chapter, just wanted to let you know that this scene and from here on out occur two months after the first chapter, which was more like a prologue.

Chapter II - Morning
----------
The alarm sounded, filling the room with an annoying ringing. Sara grunted and pulled her arm out of the sheets to slam it against the clock in hopes to stop the noise. She inadvertently knocked the alarm clock off the nightstand, but at least it stopped it's constant beeping. "Thank you," a voice mumbled behind her. Sara just grunted again and pulled the covers that had ended up at the bottom of the bed during the night back up to her shoulders. The house with just a bit too cold for her to handle. She would complain about it later, once she had gotten a little more sleep.
Only once she was almost asleep, half an hour later, did the person behind her jerk up quickly. Since she had claimed his hand at sometime during the night, he accidentally pulled her up with him. Sara squealed at the sudden movement, shocked out of her mind. "What the hell?" she fumed.
"You turned off the alarm, Sara!" he yelled, not angry just panicked. He slipped out of the bed, pulling his arm with him, turning Sara around in the bed to face him but leaving her there. He rummaged through the top dresser door until he found a pair of boxers and pulled them on.
"Nick…" she started, propping herself up on her arm. She waited for him to answer, but he paid no attention, hurrying into the bathroom. He left the door ajar and Sara saw the light fill up the room and then the sound of running water. She just sat there in his bed until he came back into the bedroom. His hair was combed quickly and his teeth brushed. He pulled on the first pair of black slacks he found and started yanking an undershirt on over his head. "Nicky," Sara tried again.
Nick pulled out a solid light blue shirt out of the closest and put it on, buttoning the front quickly up. Sara rolled her eyes as he continued to ignore her. Finally, he grabbed a pair of socks out of the dresser and sat down on the edge of the bed to put them on. Sara crawled across the bed and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, resting her chin on his right shoulder. "Not only it is Saturday, but it isn't even time to go into work yet," she told him, nipping on his ear.
"I've got to be in court today, Sara," he reminded her, cursing at the sock when it wouldn't go on fast enough. Sudden realization flooded over Sara. "I'm sorry, it just escaped my mind from yesterday after work until this morning."
She unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and then started working on the second. She had the third one undone before Nick started to complain, "I'm really pushing it to get to the courtroom on time. Can't you just wait until I get back, Sara?" he asked, pulling on the second sock.
Sara smiled and kissed his neck, "Relax," she whispered. She had managed to get the last button undone and she was already starting to button it up again. "You were off by one. You had an extra hole at the top and then an extra button at the bottom." She paused, resting her hands on his chest. "I really am sorry."
Nick stood up, Sara's arms sliding off his chest to rest on the mattress in front of her lap. He turned around and gave her a sweet kiss. "I've got to go. Are you going back to your place when you get up or are you going to stay here until I get back?" he asked, looking around the room for his business shoes.
Sara fell back against the mass of pillows on the bed. She pretended to think about her response. "I do believe I'll stay here. After all, you are the one with Jacuzzi jets in your bathtub. My apartment doesn't have that."
Nick grinned and yanked on his shoes. "Alright, I've got to get going. I'll see you later," he walked over to the side of the bed and kissed her again quickly. Sara shook her head at him and grinned back, "I'm laying here, completely naked, and you're still going to court. Am I losing my touch?" she asked with a pout on her face.
Nick chuckled, "Not at all, baby. I'll deal with that when I get back." Nick hurried out of the room, tying his tie as he went. Sara sighed and slipped back under the covers. The space next to her already felt cold, but the pillow had the faint remainder of his scent on it. Sara pulled the pillow close to her face, inhaling the wonderful scent while she closed her eyes in hopes of a few more hours of sleep.

Another short one. It's just the way they are turning out, I'm sorry to admit. It does get them edited and uploaded faster though. Thanks to all my readers and reviewers. I can't believe I forgot that at the top. All of you make my day!
