A/N: Hey! finally uploaded a new chapter! sorry it took so long! things have been a little crazed. Thanks so much for the reviews and enjoy!

Sara and Nick just sat there on Sara's couch for what seemed like an eternity just staring into each other's eyes. Neither of them had expected their relationship to take this kind of turn and weren't sure where they should go from there. Before either of them could say anything, however, someone knocked on Sara's door. Sara snapped out of her trance and went to the door. When she opened the door , the last person she expected to be there was Gil Grissom with flowers.

"Grissom. What are you doing here?" Grissom looked at Sara with a shy look on his face and held out the flowers.

"These are for you. I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted tonight. I don't want to lose your friendship and I wanted to know if you wanted to go to breakfast?"

"I'm sorry Grissom. I can't go. I have company." Just then Nick called from the living room.

"Sar? Who is it?" When Grissom heard Nick call from the other room, he looked at Sara, surprised.

"Nick? Nick is your company?" It seemed then that he just noticed her disheveled appearance. He took in her flushed skin and her kiss bruised lips and it connected. Nick walked up behind Sara to see Grissom standing in the doorway. When he saw the hurt look on Grissom's face, he realized what he and Sara must look like.

"Uh, Griss-"

"No, Nick. I'm happy for you. Really. You can give her what I couldn't." With that he handed Sara the flowers and walked away. Sara stood frozen at the door wit Nick for a few moments before she tensed up and slammed the door with enough force to make Nick flinch. Nick prepared himself for a famous Sara Sidle- tirade and was surprised when all she said was " damn him" and sat down on the couch.

"Sara? Are you okay? If you want to go after him I'll understand" Sara looked up in surprise and shook her head violently.

"No Nick!" she said vehemently. " I'm just angry because just when I realize that I can be happy with someone other that him, he shows up like he wants to make us work. Then he sees you and acts like I betrayed him or something. No. I don't want to go after him. I don't want him anymore. I want you. At this Nick smile so big it lit up the room and he picked Sara up and spun her around. When he sat her down, she looked up at him with her gap-toothed grin and reached up to pull his face down to kiss him. They stood like that for a long time just enjoying the nearness of each other. After a while, they both realized the heat emanating from each other and had to pull apart. They were both breathing heavily and when Sara looked into Nick's eyes, she was startled to see the desire so blatantly shining through. "Nick?" she said nervously. "I'm kind of tired. It was a long shift" Nick looked a little disappointed , but he nodded his head at her.

"Okay. I understand. I'll just go home so you can rest and I'll pick you up for work later okay?"

"No!" At the look of hurt on Nick's face, Sara amended. "I mean, you don't have to go… you have a change of clothes in your truck right?" When he nodded, she said, "I'm tired but I don't want you to leave. We could just sleep in my bed." At this comment, Nick's eyes noticeably darkened. When Sara saw this, her breathing became labored. She laughed nervously. "Just sleep okay?" Nick nodded his head.

"I'll just go get my clothes from the truck okay?" Sara nodded and Nick went down to get his clothes.
