Chapter 11
A week passed. Nick was still acting weird and trying to avoid Sara. Sara had been trying to talk to him but he just seemed to have an excuse to avoid the conversation. Sara badly wanted to talk to someone. But she hadn't made any close friends in day shift, well, except for Cyrus. But he was a guy and Sara needed someone who has understanding of her problem.
Sara was walking along the hallway when she saw Catherine sipping coffee in the break room, probably waiting for the night shift to start.
"Hey Catherine," said Sara.
"Sara, hi rarely seen you lately," greeted Catherine.
"Yeah, well, with work and Ecklie, I'm kinda busy," said Sara taking a seat next to Catherine.
"Same here,"
"Um…Cath, can I have your opinion on something?," asked Sara hesitantly.
"Yeah, sure, what is it?,"
"It's about me and Nick,"
"You guys fought? That's normal in a marriage, Sara."
"No, it's just that he's been ignoring me," explained Sara.
"How so?"
"It's like when I started to get it on, he's be like tired or not in a mood, it's been a week already."
"You tried talking to him?," asked Catherine.
"Yeah, but he always avoids it, I don't know what to do, Cath," said Sara sighing.
"How about when you see him, insist of talking, don't let him give any excuses."
"Yeah, I hope that'll work cause he's acting weird and I don't even know why," said Sara. She turned when she heard someone clearing his throat. It was Nick. Sara freaked. She could feel all her blood rushing and her heart beating faster. From the look on Nick's face Sara could tell he heard them all.
"Nick..," Sara started.
"Sara, we'll talk later, this is not the place," said Nick.
"Fine." Sara walked out of the room heading nowhere.
When Sara left Nick turned to Catherine.
"Nick, we were just talking," said Catherine defending herself.
"You don't have to explain, Cath, this isn't your fault, this is between me and Sara."
As Nick arrived from his shift Sara was waiting him at the living room. Actually Nick wasn't all to eager to have this conversation but he was cornered, no more running, no more excuses. Nick sat on the couch and Sara sat next to him.
"Nick, talk to me, tell me what's wrong, I don't want us like this any longer," said Sara caressing Nick's hand.
"Sara, I know," said Nick looking at Sara.
"Know what?," asked Sara confused.
"Don't play dumb, Sara, I know about your relationship with that day shift guy, Cyrus!!," yelled Nick standing up.
"What the hell are you talking about? Me and Cyrus? Where did you hear this stuff?. Sara was standing now and was eye to eye with Nick.
"I saw it with my own eyes," said Sara through gritted teeth.
"What?? That's ridiculous cause I have never ever cheated on you!!," said Sara.
"You think I'm blind?! I saw you with him last week at the layout room, his hands on your waist, your face inches away from his, isn't that enough? Oh, not to mention his cologne on you!!"
Sara realized what Nick was talking about and let out a chuckle. Nick just stared at her disbelievingly.
"You got it all wrong, I wanted to take an evidence when I fell, so he grabbed," explained Sara.
"How convenient, you expect me to believe that?!"
"You should believe me, I'd never lie to you or cheat on you, I love you Nick," said Sara.
"Sara, I'm confused, I have to think about this first." Nick just left and went into their bedroom. Sara sank into the couch and hugged her knees in her arm and she just let the tears fell. She couldn't believe that Nick would even think that she could cheat on him. About half an hour later, Sara started to calm down. She needed to get out from all the chaos, so she decided to go for a drive.
Sara decided just to go grab some coffee at a diner near the lab. She and Nick always went there before she changed shifts. Sara had always love the coffee. That was where she went to relax after a really tough case. She was seated in her seat having a cup of coffee trying to release all the tension but with no success.
While Sara was at the diner, Nick was at home thinking about what just happened. Should he believe Sara or what he saw with his on eyes? He was confused, he really wanted to believe Sara's story but when he looked back at the memory about Cyrus and Sara, he was so pissed and furious. Finally after some time of contemplating he decided to give Sara and him a chance because he really loved her and didn't want their 4 years of relationship just end like that. He got up and went out to search for Sara.
"Is this sea taken?," asked Someone shaking Sara out of her thoughts.
"Huh?." Sara looked up and saw Cyrus smiling form.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"Hey Cy, what are you doing here?"
"I'm having my break, wanna grab some coffee, it's you day off right?"
"Yeah, slow night at the lab?," asked Sara.
"Yup, just hanging around while avoiding Ecklie." (I know Ecklie isn't the day shift supervisor anymore but what happened in Mea Culpa haven't registered into my brain yet, hehe)
"That's probably smart."
"So what are you doing here?," asked Cyrus.
"Just trying to relax and think."
"Trouble with the hubby?"
"Yeah, something like that," said Sara.
"Don't worry, you'll get through it, you love him too much."
"Thanks Cyrus,"
"And since I bumped into you, I have something for you," said Cyrus taking out something from his jacket pocket.
"What is it?"
Cyrus handed her a piece of envelope pink in color. Sara opened in and took out a card. She read and looked at Cyrus, smiling.
"You're getting married?"
"Yeah," said Cyrus proudly.
"With who?"
"She's a showgirl at the Bellagio, real sweet."
"Congratulations, Cy."
"Thanks."
Sara gave him a friendly hug and wished in her mind that Cyrus will have a great marriage.
Nick was looking all over for Sara, the lab, the place she liked to go to, everywhere. And finally he saw Sara's Denali at the diner near the lab. Then he remembered that was the place they liked to hang out together. He made his way into the diner and looked around for Sara. Finally he found Sara at the corner booth with a guy, more specifically Cyrus, the reason they fought. They hugging, smiling, like the perfect couple. Nick wanted to go there and punch that son of a bitch's face. Instead he turned around because he didn't want to make a scene and went for his Denali. Nick got into the car, slammed the door and drove at the speed of light all the way home.
Once he arrived home, he went to their bed trying to process all the things that happened, first he saw Sara and Cyrus inches from each other but then Sara said it was an accident, he was so confused but this last scene proved everything he suspected, Sara was cheating on him. He turned in his bed and saw their wedding photo, the happiest day of their lives, he grabbed the picture and threw it against the wall. He tried to calm himself and finally settled down when he heard someone was at the door. He was expecting Sara but when he opened the door, it was Christine, Nick's ex-girlfriend they bumped at the restaurant few years ago.
"Hey Nicky, whatcha doin?," asked Christine huskily.
"Um…nothing, what are you doing here?"
"Just in the neighborhood, can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure, come on in."
