Where are my readers? I'm so sad ( Anyways here's chapter 6.
Chapter 6
It's almost time for the night shift. Nick arrived early just to apologize to Sara. He searched for her in every room until he saw Sara with a rather handsome guy in the layout room analyzing evidence. They were talking and were very focused by their work. He was a little suspicious with the guy but just brushed it off because Sara would never do that to him.
"Hey Sara,"
"Nick? What are you doing here? It's night shift already?,"
"No, I just need to talk to you,"
"Can it wait? I don't want Ecklie to think I'm unprofessional,"
"Oh, okay, um… who's this?," asked Nick indicating Cyrus.
"Oh, this is Cyrus, Cyrus, my husband, Nick,"
"Nice to meet you," said Cyrus shaking hands with Nick.
"Yeah, me too," said Nick.
Nick was about to go when he said, "Sara, we have to talk later,"
"Yeah, sure,"
"And I'm gonna be a little late cause I'm doing a double,"
"Okay, Nick,"
Nick left the layout room and Sara continued her work with Cyrus. After Nick left Cyrus studied Sara. He knew something was wrong, maybe they had a fight but even though he just met Sara he knew Nick and Sara loved each other very much. Just by studying her expression he knew she was troubled because of their fight and was not really focused to her work. Cyrus knew it wasn't his business but he can't help but ask Sara about it.
"You okay Sara?,"
"Huh? What?," asked Sara.
"Are you okay?,"
"Yeah, fine," lied Sara.
"You sure?,"
"Actually no, I had fight with Nick over this stupid thing," said Sara. She didn't know why but she just felt like it was okay to open up to Cyrus.
"I bet you guys will work things out, he cares about you very much Sara, I know I just met Nick but I can see it in his eyes,"
"Yeah, I know, I'm lucky to have him, thanks Cyrus, I feel so much better,"
"No problem," said Cyrus smiling.
After Sara's shift was finished, she met up with Nick to say goodbye and then went back home. She was a little tired. Working day shift wasn't that bad except for the Ecklie part. Cyrus was really a nice guy. Sara arrived home and took a bath. After changing into her pajamas, she went to bed.
Few hours later Sara woke up hearing being opened. Nick was back. He came into the bedroom and took off his shirt and just simply throw it on the floor and put his shoes unarranged in front of the doorway. Sara just sighed.
"Nick, can you please hang your shirt and arrange your shoes?, you might trip on them," said Sara.
"Sara, please don't start, I'm tired,"
"Well, you wouldn't have to hear this if you would just do it sooner,"
"Why now? Before this you don't care if I don't hang my shirt or whatever, why now?,"
"That's because I'm the one that kept picking up after your mess!,"
"This is my home, I'll do whatever and whenever I want!,"
"You're right, if you fell face first tripping over your shoes, don't come running to me," said Sara pilling the covers over her head.
That night they laid in the opposite sides of the bed instead of snuggling to each other like they always did. Even though Nick was tired now he couldn't sleep. Two fights in a day with Sara was very frustrating. Few minutes of tossing and turning, he decided to drink some water or watch or something. He walked in the dark because he didn't want to wake Sara up. He was on the doorway when he lost his balance and fell.
"Nick?," Sara heard the thud and turned on the light. She saw Nick was on the floor. She quickly ran towards him.
"Nick, what happened? Why are you on the floor?," said Sara panicking.
"I wanted to get some water when I tripped on something," said Nick rubbing his legs.
"You tripped on what?,"
Nick looked around and saw his shoes.
"Ummm….my shoes,' said Nick sheepishly.
They looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"See, I told you," said Sara.
"How did you know that?,"
"Well, when I was a kid I tripped on my shoes cause I was a slob and unfortunately my toys were on the floor, my forehead knocked on them and I got a nasty cut, since then I became a neat freak," explained Sara.
"You really learnt your lesson, huh?,"
"Yeah,"
"Sara, I'm really sorry about this morning, why you were late and then for being such a slob,"
"I'm sorry too, Nicky, actually about this morning wasn't all your fault, it takes two to tango you know," said Sara smiling.
Nick leaned in ad gave Sara a sweet kiss.
"I'm really sorry, you know, I promise I'll be neater,"
"And I promise I won't be a total neat freak,"
They kissed again this time a little longer.
"How's your leg?," asked Sara.
"It's fine,"
"Let's go to bed?," asked Sara.
"Okay,"
They walked to the bed and went under the covers. Nick was about to turn the table lamp off when Sara stopped him.
"What?,"
Sara turned in Nick's arm and set the alarm.
"Okay, you can turn the light off now,'
"Good thing you remember, or else we'll have another war,"
Sara smiled and snuggled up to Nick. Nick wrapped her arms around Sara and she buried her face on his chest, hearing his calm heart beats. Then they fell asleep.
Two weeks later:
Life had been hectic for Nick and Sara. They rarely saw each other, only between shifts or when at work when they were doing double shift. Sara was really burning herself out. Nick had been trying to ask her to slow down a little bit but she kept burying herself in her work if she wanted to shut people out.
Nick was exhausted, he just finished a shift. He slowly opened the door with his keys cause he knew Sara usually was sleeping during that time. As soon as he walked in he saw Sara curled up on the sofa. He was surprised she didn't sleep in the bedroom. As he neared her, he saw Sara's tear stained face. He took a blanket to cover her when Sara started to mumble stuff.
"No, get away from me, Nick, help me!," cried Sara struggling with an invisible assailant.
"Sara, Sara, wake up honey, you're dreaming," said Nick trying to wake Sara up. Sara bolted up and was breathing heavily.
"Sara, it's me Nick,"
"Nick…,' said Sara starting to cry.
"Shh, it's okay baby, I'm here now," said Nick holding Sara in his arm.
"Nick, it's awful, he was trying to…,"
"Sara, don't talk, it was just a nightmare,"
Nick knew why Sara was having this nightmares. Usually after a tough case especially a rape case she would be having this dreams. No wonder she had been working non-stop this past week. Few minutes later Sara started to calm down.
"Sara, did you had a rape case?,"
Sara just nodded.
"Wanna talk about it?,"
"Maybe later, I just want you to hold me now," said Sara.
"Don't worry Sara, I'm not going anywhere,"
They laid on the couch, Nick holding Sara protectively. Few minutes later Nick could hear Sara's breathing relaxed, she was asleep.
"Sara has gone through a tough week, I need to do something," thought Nick. He kissed Sara's head and fell asleep moments later.
