"Sara, no you weren't, it didn't bother me at all. There is one thing though…do you want me to be your boyfriend?" Nick said to Sara

"Nick, I do want you to be my boyfriend" Sara said looking Nick in the eyes

"Good, I'd be glad to be your boyfriend" Nick said giving Sara a smile

"Nick you're great" Sara said as she leaned over across the bed and kissed Nick

Once Sara finished her kiss with Nick she laid back in her spot on her side of the bed. She noticed how far apart they were. Why are we so far apart? I want to be close to Nick. I want him to hold me. Is that too strong? Should I just be happy that I'm with Nick, someone who loves me?

Nick also realized how far they were apart. It was mostly because of him. He didn't want Sara to feel uncomfortable. I wish that I could be close to her. But I should be happy, I'm sleeping in bed with Sara, I just finished having a wonderful dinner with her, and she is my girlfriend. But I don't want to be too forward. I don't want her to never want to be close with me again or lose our friendship because of something that didn't need to happen. I wish she would say something so I know how she felt.

"Nick" Sara said turning to face him

"Yeah Sara" Nick said as he faced Sara

"I feel like I'm a dork telling you this but I want to tell you that I want you close to me." Sara said as she yawned

"Thanks Sara for telling me, and I don't want you ever to feel like you are a dork when you are telling me something that you want or don't want" Nick said with a sincere voice

"Thanks Nick" Sara said as she turned away

Nick sat there for a second facing Sara after she was turned away thinking about what she said how she wanted him to be close to her. She told him exactly what he wanted to hear. Then he moved over near Sara and put his arm around her and closed the space between them.

"Night Nick" Sara whispered grabbing Nick's hand that was draped over her

"Night Sara" Nick said as he embraced Sara closeness

Sara laid in Nick's embrace and fell asleep quickly. She was happy that Nick knew what she meant and that he felt the same way. She also loved how safe he made her; and how he cared about what she felt, and didn't put her down for telling him. As she slept she moved closer to Nick's body and loved the warmth he gave off. Nick was happy that she expressed what she felt. He loved holding Sara and making her feel special. He had always wanted to be the one to hold Sara when she slept, now he was and he loved it. As he slept he felt so relaxed and at peace with Sara by his side and to make things better she kept moving closer to him while she slept.

As the light shone through the blinds, Nick started to wake up. He remembered that they had the Q and A thing to talk at. Not wanting to disturb Sara, Nick slowly turned over to see what time it was. It was 8:00 in the morning. He knew they had to be at one of the conference rooms at 10:00. Again trying not to disturb Sara, he got up out of bed and went to his suitcase to grab some clothes and then went to the bathroom to change.

"Nick" Sara said in a whisper as she turned around to face where Nick had been sleeping. Then she realized that Nick wasn't there and she was getting worried that something happened to him.

"Nick, where are you?" Sara said her voice a little louder and shaky.

"Nick" Sara said in loud voice, which then Nick heard. He wondered what was wrong. He rushed out of the bathroom and to the bed to see why Sara was yelling his name.

"Sara what's wrong" Nick said looking at Sara who was sitting in bed

"Where were you, I didn't know where you went and I got scared" Sara said as she swung her legs over the side of the bed still looking at Nick

"I'm sorry that I made you scared' Nick said as he sat down next to Sara on the bed "I woke up a little bit ago and I was changing in the bathroom" he said as he grabbed her hand "I didn't want to wake you"

"Oh, I just got scared when I turned around and you weren't there and I couldn't see you" Sara said as turned to face him

"I got up so I could let you use the bathroom when you woke up because we have to get ready to go to that Q and A thing" Nick said giving Sara a hug to comfort her

"Nick, are you always this wonderful? Sara said as they were still in a hug

"I don't know, am I?" Nick said with a grin smile as he pulled away and looked at Sara as he put his hands on her shoulders

"Yeah Nick, you are" Sara said leaning into Nick to kiss him

"Sara, you better get dressed. We have to leave soon and I don't about you but I was planning on eating" Nick said he stood up a looked down to Sara

"You're right, what time is it?" Sara said as she stood up

"It is 8:30" Nick said as he let Sara pass by him and he straightened the bed

"Wow, I better get changed so we can go" Sara said as she went through her suitcase

"Sara, what are we going to talk about at our Q and A thing?" Nick said to Sara while she was in the bathroom

"I don't know, us and everybody; and stuff we do, I guess" Sara said as she was getting dressed in the bathroom

"I guess" Nick said as he put his shoes on

"I don't know, but I am ready to go" Sara said as she walked out of the bathroom

"So am I" Nick said as he stood up and walked over to Sara

"Where are we going to go and get some breakfast?" Sara said as she walked out of the hotel room

"I think there is breakfast downstairs" Nick said he put his arm around Sara as they walked down the hall

"I wonder how Catherine, Warrick, and Greg are doing?" Sara said as she took a sip of her coffee while she sat across a small table from Nick

"I don't know, I bet they are doing okay, but I don't know because they are missing three CSI's." Nick said as he wondered what everyone was doing back in Las Vegas

"Nick, I think we better get going, I don't want to be late" Sara said as she finished off her coffee

"You're right we better go" Nick said as he stood up from his chair and pushed it in
