Bedroom Talk

Nick was about to settle into bed. He had an awesome time with Sara as they enjoyed Dallas night life on his birthday. They went to dinner at a restaurant where meat eaters and vegetarians peacefully coexisted. Both he and Sara ended their night on the town by going to a club that had a 1980s theme night. Nick smiled when he reflected on the events of the night. His thoughts were disrupted when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Nick asked.

"It's Sara," the voice on the other side of the door said. "Can I come in?"

"Come on in," he said with a smile.

Sara entered the room and saw Nick sitting on the edge of his bed. He beckoned her to come and sit next to him. She approached him and sat down.

"Nick, this bed is comfortable," Sara said.

"I know," he said. "Sometimes, I think it a little too comfortable."

"I could tell," she said.

Nick looked at her with confusion.

"Our first full day in Dallas when I met your sisters," Sara said. "I was already showered and dressed. I opened the door of your room and saw you still asleep. I blew you a kiss and quietly closed the door."

Sara was afraid that he would get mad at her, but he just gave her a sweet smile.

"You could have woken me up," Nick said. "I didn't have to sleep that long."

"I didn't want to disturb you," she said. "Besides, you look so peaceful when you are asleep."

That comment threw Nick off guard, but he chuckled. He wanted to change the subject and talk to Sara about tonight's excursion.

"I had a great time tonight," Nick said. "Dinner was delicious and the dessert was awesome. I take it mom gave you an excellent recommendation of a veggie friendly restaurant."

"Yes, she did and it paid off," Sara said. "The food and service was excellent, but our waiter gave us a funny look when you ordered your steak entrée and I had the vegetable and cheese crepes."

"I don't think he was used to seeing a meat eating Texan dating a vegetarian Californian," Nick chuckled. "I wish I had my camera and taken a picture of him. It was priceless."

Sara laughed in agreement. She could imagine Nick taking the picture of the shocked waiter. Another thing was showing the picture to Warrick and Greg. Their fellow CSI and the lab rat would have a field day making fun of the poor wretch in the photo.

"I couldn't get over the entire wait staff coming to our table with the dessert to wish me a happy birthday," Nick said. "They also did it to a parody of some song. I don't remember what it was."

"Everyone was applauding," Sara said. "Speaking of desserts, did you see the size of that warm chocolate molten cake? We could have brought in Grissom, Brass, Catherine, Lindsey, Warrick, Dr. Robbins and Greg and still we would have some leftover."

"Sara, I should have warned you about Texas size portions," Nick joked. "We did manage to eat the entire cake."

Sara gave him a look of disbelief.

"Okay, I ate a little more than you did," Nick said. "Besides, I was the birthday boy so I am somewhat entitled to a bigger portion of the cake."

She gave him a swat in the arm and he winced.

"Nicky, I know you were the birthday boy," Sara said. "Sometimes, I wonder if you were a Tasmanian devil in a previous life since you sometimes have the appetite of one."

"Maybe I was one," Nick chuckled and dodged Sara's attempt to swat him the second time.

"Then we went that club that had the 1980s theme night," Sara said.

"That was a lot of fun," Nick said. "I think I might have found a girl suitable for our Greggo."

"You mean the one with the pink spiky bangs," Sara said.

"She was dancing like a crazed maniac," Nick said. "So does Greg whenever we catch him listening to punk on full blast."

"I doubt they will be a good match," Sara said. "They would eventually drive each other crazy."

"Maybe we should have brought him along to meet her," Nick said. "That is if we had known she would be at the club."

"Speaking of clubs," Sara said. "When can we go to that karaoke bar?"

"How does tomorrow night sound?" Nick asked.

"That's perfect," Sara said.

"We won't be alone, though," Nick said and got a glare from Sara. "My mom wants to join us. Kathleen, Peter, Tom, Audrey, Wendy and Ryan are also coming with us. Sabrina, Marissa and their families will be with Heather to keep her away from the karaoke bars."

"Why keep her away?" Sara's curiosity was piqued.

"She has an awful singing voice," Nick chuckled. "She has been banned in every single karaoke bar in Texas. I know that you don't have to be talented to participate in singing, but she took it to the extreme."

"I am looking forward to more fun tomorrow night," Sara said peppering Nick with kisses.

"Me too, Sara, me too," Nick said pulling her into an embrace and kissing her. "I love you, Sara."

"I love you, too, Nick," Sara said.

They were lying on his bed fast asleep. Cynthia walked by his room and saw the young sleeping couple in Nick's bed. She didn't get mad, but she softly chuckled and smiled at the situation.

They look so cute together when they're asleep, Cynthia happily thought. I wouldn't be surprised when Sara will become a member of the Stokes family.
