I'm glad you all like the last chapter!!. Anyways here's chapter 10
Chapter 10
4 years later:
Nick was exhausted, he had just finished a double shift. He put the keys on the counter and went looking for his wife. They were still happily married but sometimes things got a little ugly with the arguing and fighting. But that were all part of marriage. They still loved each other very much. They decided not to have kids for now but they will someday. Nick finally found Sara sitting on the couch, putting on a glum face. She obviously was upset about something. Nick was raking his brain why she was acting that way.
"Honey, what's wrong?," asked Nick kneeling in front of Sara.
"Don't ask me what's wrong, you know why," said Sara.
"What?," asked Nick innocently.
"What date is today?," said Sara looking at Nick expectantly.
Nick thought for a moment when it hit him, it was their fourth anniversary!
"Oh crap, I'm so sorry honey, it really slipped my mind," said Nick.
"Nick, it's been only 4 years and you've already forgotten our anniversary, it's only a matter of time before you would forget me," said Sara. She was very upset.
"Sara, don't be ridiculous, I'm so sorry, I was so busy with all the doubles, it just slipped my mind," said Nick. He was really sorry and was caressing Sara's arm.
"Nick, I made a romantic meal for us, bought you a present. I was hoping for a romantic time," said Sara.
"You know, I may forgot our anniversary but I didn't forget your present,"
"What?," asked Sara confused.
"Wait here,"
Nick went into heir room and went out few seconds later with his arms behind his back. He was smiling at Sara. He showed her a wrapped box and put it on her lap.
"Nick, what is this?,"
"Open it,"
Sara slowly tore open the wrapper and snapped open the box. Inside was a diamond necklace. It had a single attached to it.
"Nick…it's beautiful," said Sara smiling.
"I bought it last week, I remembered our anniversary but it slipped my mind today cause I was so tired with this really really tough case and everyone is pulling doubles and even triples….,"
Sara shut him up with a sweet kiss on the his lips.
"Nicky, you're rambling," said Sara smiling after the kiss. She caressed Nick's lips.
"Please forgive me?,"
"Nick, you are the greatest husband a woman could ever have, I love you," said Sara. She kissed Nick and this time a little longer.
"That means I'm forgiven?," asked Nick.
Sara chuckled. "Yes,"
"Good," said Nick.
"Wanna see your present?," asked Sara.
"Sure,"
Sara took out a square box with a ribbon tied around it. Nick opened it and it was a men's watch.
"I know it's not Rolex but it's the best I can get and not breaking our budget," said Sara.
"It's perfect, Sara, thanks,"
"Happy Anniversary, Nick,"
"Happy Anniversary, Sara,"
They kissed passionately and their hands were all over the place. Finally they pulled away in need of oxygen, grinning.
"So, you want me to heat up the food?," asked Nick.
"The food can wait, how about we just skip to dessert?," suggested Sara.
"I like the way you think, Sara,"
They went into the bedroom and were lost in passion.
"Nick, I'm going to work, bye," announced Sara.
"Wait up, I'm going with you," said Nick.
"Nick, I'm on day shift, remember?," said Sara slowly like Nick was al little kid.
"I know that, but the whole team is pulling doubles,"
"Oh, okay, let's go,"
They trailed away to the car and drove off to the lab. Around 15 minutes later they arrived and parted to each other's destination. Nick walked into the layout room where the night shift was discussing the case. He walked in with a really happy face.
"You got a piece of action, huh?," asked Warrick smiling after noticing Nick dopey grin.
"A gentleman never tells but what I can tell you yesterday was our fourth anniversary," said Nick proudly.
"Congrats, how did it go?," asked Catherine.
"I forgot about it,"
"What? Sara must be pissed,"
"She was but I already bought the present and everything, it was fine,"
"What did you give her?."
"A diamond necklace,"
"Ooh….fancy," said Catherine.
"Okay, okay, back to work," said Grissom.
It was almost the end of the day shift but Sara had to pull a double since the case led her and her partner, Cyrus, nowhere. They were in the evidence room trying to find anything they overlooked.
"Sara, can you get me the victim's shirt? I want to see if there's any trace evidence," asked Cyrus.
"Yeah, sure,"
Sara had to use the small stairs cause the evidence was on the top shelf. She tried to reach it but couldn't. So she had to stand on he tip of her shoes. But she lost her balance and fell but quickly caught by Cyrus. Sara was feeling a little comfortable because Cyrus' hands were on her waist and she could feel his breathe on her. She quickly backed up a step away from Cyrus.
"Uh…thanks," said Sara.
"Yeah sure, you okay?,"
"Fine" replied Sara.
Nick wanted to say goodbye to Sara since the night shift already solved the case. It turned out the mother killed the son but CSIs interview her, she looked like a really distraught mother. Don't they always do? At first they didn't suspect her cause they were no evidence against her. But finally the mother confessed out of guilt. All of those double shifts for nothing. Nick was looking for Sara when he saw Sara in the evidence room….with a guy's hands on her waist and their faces were only inches away. Nick was shocked and furious. His knuckles turned white. He wanted to turn away when Sara noticed him.
"Um…Cyrus, gotta go for a minute, Nick's waiting,"
"Okay,"
Sara walked up to Nick when she saw Nick was a little mad and she could see his jaw tightening.
"Hey honey, what's up?," asked Sara.
Nick tried to act cool but it was a little hard since he could smell cologne on Sara.
"I just wanna say I'm going home, bye," said Nick kissing Sara's cheek and turned to go when Sara stopped him.
"Nick, what's wrong?,"
"Nothing, see you at home,"
Nick just left laving a very confused Sara thinking what she had done wrong. Maybe he saw what happened between her and Cyrus and misinterpreted it. She just walked back to the evidence room to join her partner.
Sara just finished the double shift and was heading home. She was actually kinda excited to get home and spend some quality time with Nick. Besides she wanted to resolve any tension between them just now. She didn't even know where the tension came from. Once she arrived home, she knew Nick was in the bedroom because ho always took a short nap while waiting for her to get home. Sara went over to the bed and went under the covers. She started to nuzzle on Nick's neck. That woke Nick up.
"Hi handsome," said Sara huskily.
"Hey,"
Sara continued her assault on Nick's neck when Nick stopped her.
"Sara, I'm not in the mood," said Nick. A serious tone in his voice.
"Since when you don't have mood for this?," asked Sara between kisses.
"Sara, seriously, I'm tired, please," Nick stood up and went out of the room. Sara was really puzzled by this cause she really didn't know what she did wrong.
"Nick, I'm sorry, come to bed, we'll just sleep, okay?,:
"I'm just gonna watch some TV," said Nick and just like that closed the door behind him.
Sara was baffled. Was Nick losing interest in her? Hell, they've been married only for 4 years. There were many questions running through Sara's mind and she decided just to sleep it off.
How was it? Tell me please!!! REVIEWS!!! I FEED ON THEM!!
