24 Hours
I don't own anyone here but me! Nick, Greg, and anyone else I fancy using is from CBS's show CSI.
Romantic pairing: N and OC
Part 3
Nick knew better than to argue with her. She defiantly had a stubborn streak that he found both adorable and frustrating. "Alright, what kind of movie do you want?"
"Anything. I'm not that picky when it comes to movies. That's why you're going to get it." She gave him a small smile and winked at him, "but I need my kind of junk food, if we are going to do this."
With one last stitch effort he thought he'd try to talk her out of this again, "Look I already told you, I have stuff at my place. You don't need to buy anything."
With a sigh she let him finish his plea, "But you see, you have the junk food tolerance of the average American. While I need much much more to have a proper sugar fix and I'll need extreme amounts of caffeine if you possibly expect me to stay awake for 24hours." With a wave of her arm in the direction of the video store she finished, "Now go get a movie." With a final little smirk at him she turned and headed toward the back of the grocery store.
Nick stood there for a moment and watched her leave with an orange shopping basket draped over one arm. Her bouncy, curly brown hair moving in rhythm with each step. His eye traveled down her well shaped athletic body, until he forced them to stop. Stop it man! What are you thinking! She's way too young for you. But even with the thought of her being close to ten years younger than him, he couldn't help his gaze and finished his scan of her long legged form.
With a shake of his head, he brought himself out of the trans the he found himself in and made his way to the adjacent video store. After making his way to newly released section of the store he looked over what they had. Nothing really looked that appealing. He started thinking about what she would like to watch. He knew only a little bit about her. She was passionate, adventurous, determined… Action movie?
Might as well stick to a classic. He found the area that stored long forgotten action movies and chose one of his favorites. After making his purchase and strolled back into the grocery store to find Claire checking out. "Jeez- don't tell me you plan to eat all that?"
"Don't be silly, I'm expecting you to help me a little," she grinned and paid the casher and collected her bag.
Nick couldn't help but smile in response and gave her food choices a second look. Popcorn, chocolate, chips, pretzels, cookies, ice cream with various toppings, and several favors of caffeine filled pop. Suddenly he remembered his early observation of her. Her tight, trim build. "How do you stay in shape with a diet like that!"
The comment must had come as a complete shock to her, because she broke her stride toward the front of the store to stop and stare at him. Nick had to glace backwards to met her focused eyes. Just then she smirk and raised an eyebrow at him, "Since when have you taken notice of my shape?" He stood there staring at her with color rushing to his cheeks. His slightly ajar mouth offered no answer. Seeing his reaction to question she merely smiled and walked past him and out the front doors of the store. "Come on Nick, this ice cream is going to melt."
