"This is nice." Sara said as she snuggled closer to Nick on the couch.

"Yeah." Nick said kissing her head as he idly played with her hair. They remained that way until the TV show they were watching ended and Sara looked up at Nick as he emitted a soft snore. She grinned and leant up and kissed his cheek lightly causing him to stir. He opened his eyes and offered Sara a sheepish smile.

"I should go. You're tired." Sara offered.

"You can stay." He yawned. Sara bit her lip as she contemplated the pros and con's of staying and looked at him weakly. Reading her expression Nick responded. "Totally innocent. Just sleep – you look tired too baby." She yawned involuntarily and grinned at him.

"Ok so I'm a lot more tired then I thought."

"Come on, let's go to sleep." He said pulling himself and Sara off the couch. Nick led them down the hallway towards his bedroom. As they entered the room Nick let go of Sara and opened his drawers and offered Sara a shirt and some sweats.

"What no pink ones?" She smirked.

"I don't know where they are, I could look for them if you want them?" He grinned.

"I'm disappointed Nicky, but these will do." She yawned and walked into the bathroom to change. Nick stripped down to boxers and pulled out another shirt for himself. Sara emerged from the bathroom as he pulled the shirt on. They climbed into the bed and shared a soft kiss goodnight.

"Goodnight Nicky."

"Mm g'night Sar."

Nick awoke to a pounding. For a brief moment he thought his roof was going to fall in again until her realised it was someone at his door. He carefully moved from under Sara and stretched as the banging continued.

"Yeah, yeah hold your horses I'm coming." He muttered to himself. Walking down the hallway the banging increased and finally stopped when Nick opened the door revealing an aggravated Grissom.

"Grissom, to what do I owe this pleasure." He yawned.

"I woke you." Grissom stated the obvious not bothering to offer an apology. "I've been trying to call you but you cell keeps going to voice mail and you home phone to your answering machine."

"I turned my phone off, I was sleeping. Shift doesn't start for another four hours." He added after a brief glance at his watch.

"I know. I need you to go and meet Warrick here." Gris stated handing Nick a slip with an address on it. "Do you know where Sara is?" Nick glanced out onto the street and saw Sara's Denali a little way from his place. He was surprised Grissom hadn't noticed it.

"Um..."

"Nick who was at the door." Sara called padding sleepily down the hallway. Nick sighed and looked at Grissom.

"She's right here." He said stating the obvious and gaining a look of disbelief from Grissom.

"Oh hey Gris, what's up?" Sara asked yawning as she tried to become fully conscious.

"Sara." He nodded curtly still unsure what to make of the situation. "You and Nick need to meet Warrick at a scene."

"Alright." She turned and headed back down the hall not bothering to see if Gris had anything further to say. Grissom looked at Nick expectantly wanting to know what he'd just witnessed.

"We were watching a movie, trying to cheer her up after Hank." He explained simply.

"Hank?" Nick shook his head. For such a great CSI Grissom sure had a way of missing things.

"You know Peddigrew, the paramedic Sara was dating."

"Oh right. They broke up?" Nick nodded. "You two need to get to that scene." Grissom added and gave a slight nod as a goodbye. Nick chuckled to himself at his supervisors people skills – or lack there of as he closed the door. He walked back down the hallway towards his bedroom and found Sara in the bathroom washing her face.

"Well that wasn't half awkward." He stated leaning up against the doorframe.

"Yeah. What did you tell him?" Sara asked looking at his reflection in the mirror.

"Just that we were watching a movie and fell asleep."

"You know you need to get ready." She smirked.

"Yeah I know. I was hoping for a good morning kiss though."

"Nick, its afternoon."

"Well an afternoon kiss then." He said flashing his perfect smile that made Sara's insides squirm.

"If it'll make you get ready then I suppose we can process that request." She grinned a big gap tooth grin before walking to where the door. Leaning down he captured her lips in a passion infused kiss that left them both breathless. "Now get moving Mr. I'm going to run home and I'll meet you at the scene."

"Ok." Nick grinned and leant down for another mind numbing kiss.

"We've really got to get going Nick." She mumbled as they kissed once more. "Where's the address?"

"It's on the table. I'll see you there babe." He grinned as he kissed her for a final time. Sara shook her head and grinned. Grabbing her things she quickly scribbled the address onto a piece of paper and headed to her home.

Nick grinned as he stripped down to take a quick shower. He couldn't help but hum some nameless tune that had found its way into his head. Sara Sidle really liked him. He was kissing Sara Sidle the woman that had been on his mind ever since she joined their close knit team. Thinking back to the shameless flirting they had done since she'd joined he couldn't help but think that if he'd confessed his feelings for her earlier that a lot of heartache could have been prevented. He sighed, there was no point dwelling on the past and anyway he could kiss Sara now when he wanted. That thought brought a smile to his face, which faltered when he thought back to Grissom. There was no doubt he was going to be watching the pair closely for any signs of anything more then a friendly relationship now. So maybe he wouldn't be able to kiss Sara whenever he wanted. They'd just have to spend plenty of quality time together outside of work. Starting with a date after shift. He grinned at his plan and turned off the shower trying to clear his thoughts of Sara so that his mind would be clear for the crime scene.

Hope you enjoyed that :) thanks to everyone that has reviewed thus far...really appreciate the kind feedback grins
