Chapter 6 – The flirt

Nick couldn't hide the smirk of his face as he entered the car. He was feeling like a high school kid who just picked up his date for the prom.

"What?" – Sara woke him form his dream.

"Huh?" – he asked confused.

"You're smirking. Why are you smirking?" – she demanded to know.

He turned his whole body towards her taking her by surprise. Instinctively she leaned back a bit as she watched his smile grow even bigger.

"OK, now I'm scared." – she joked. – "Tell me why you are smirking!"

He let a few seconds pass by, just because he loved the look on her face. But, he decided one other thing during those seconds. He wasn't going to hide anymore. The curtain will fall tonight.
"You, Sara Sidle, are a big flirt, you know that?"

Sara's eyes widened in surprise, as she looked down and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"I'm not flirting."

"Yes you are. You're doing it right now." – the sound of his voice made the situation more light, so she felt more at ease.

"I'm flirting right now? With you?" – she chuckled seeing his annoyed look, which was there only for pretend.

"Yes, you're flirting with me."

"And how am I doing that?" – she was curious, and she really wanted to know if he will take a risk and tell her what he wants to tell her, or will he just ignore everything. She was very surprised to see that she wasn't as uncomfortable with these kinds of conversations. With Grissom, even a normal conversation was intense, but not in a good way. However, they were talking about her flirting with him, and she felt good. Maybe even a bit giddy.

"Well, miss Sidle" – Nick seriously started not taking his eyes of her. – "You linked your arm with mine when we were walking towards the car…" – she stopped him instantly.

"I believe I was accepting your invitation to give me a ride home. So, that would actually mean, that you were flirting with me."

She smiled widely knowing how she won that one. Even if she wasn't hiding the fact that she was flirting with him, she loved the fact that she can still tease him a bit. He nodded accepting her explanation.

"OK, than. However, you were the one who said, and I quote: "I want to sit next to you." – he said the last part really sensually causing Sara to blush.

"I didn't say that!"

"Yes you did." – he loved how her face got red, and how she tucked another strand of hair behind her ear.

"Well, maybe I said that. But, not like that." – she was hissing now, but she tried to regain her composure, since she saw that Nick was glowing from his victory. – "Well, do you have anything else? Because, if that's all, I think you're slipping a bit. That wouldn't stick in court."

"Actually, I have a few more."

"A few?" – she asked furrowing her eyebrows. She had no idea what he was talking about.

"Well, you pulled out your most sexy wink and walk when you entered the car." – he seriously said again noticing her face. – "But..." – he stopped her before she had the chance to respond. – "That isn't even my strongest argument."

"It's not?" – he voice hit a high note there on the end as she was still trying to process his last statement.

"No, you see, this thing you're doing with your hair…" – he leaned even closer until their arms were touching. He raised his hand and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear. – "…is driving me crazy."

His voice got huskier and Sara's breathing got more rapid. The feel of his hand on her face was sending shivers down her spine, and Nick noticed that as she closed her eyes. She bit her lip, but didn't say anything.
"And this thing you're doing…with your lip…" – he brought his face closer to hers. – "…is also driving me crazy."

She opened her eyes meeting his warm look. She wasn't nervous. She was warm and all she wanted to do was to wrap her arms around Nick, and close the distance between them completely.

"So, what you're saying is…that I'm driving you crazy?" – she whispered and Nick shivered from the feel of her breath on his lips.
"Yeah, you are." – he whispered back.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" – even if she wasn't feeling nervous, she was still Sara Sidle, and she wanted to know the facts before something would happen. Nick knew that, so he didn't hesitate.
"Well, first I'm going to tuck this strand of hair behind your ear…" – he did exactly that. – "Than I'm going to lean forward and I'm going to kiss you on the lips. Got it?" – he asked already moving closer, but noticing her nod.

He kissed her gently savoring the moment a bit; before he let his lips move on their own. At first he was giving her small kisses all around her lips, but when she placed her hands behind his neck and brought him closer all the boundaries disappeared. She opened her mouth and he felt her tongue on his lips and his mouth opened in response. As their tongues collided, the whole world disappeared and another was created. The one that involved only the two of them. The moan escaped her mouth as she felt his hands move underneath her shirt as he gently caressed her back. The motion was sensual and she wasn't terrified. There was nothing in his touches that would make her scared. Suddenly she felt his hands move away from her and the feeling of disappointment overwhelmed her. Her breathing was still rapid as he placed his head on her shoulder and gave her a hug. The feeling of his arms around her made her feel so small. She felt safe, and she didn't want to let go.

He looked up and met her eyes.

"And that was my final argument." – he grinned causing her to reflect his smile.

"Well, I have to say, you made a pretty strong case here. " – she reached and intertwined their fingers.

"You think so, ha?"

"I know so. You made me forget that I have a job to do tomorrow." – she remembered that she still needs to go home and gets some sleep.

"You made me forget about anything but you." – he caressed her cheek feeling her face leaning towards his hand.

"You know, I never pictured you as a romantic. And yet, you're here pulling out one line after the other."

He blushed and looked down, and Sara thought that was the sweetest think she ever saw.

"Well, I need to keep up. If I recall correctly, you were the one who said something about people who were too stubborn to actually do something."

She nodded remembering what she said about Josh and Donna. And now she almost felt the need to call one of them and tell them that to make a move. Because, it's all worth it.

"So, decided to take my advice?" – she grinned back at him.
"Yeah, and since I knew you were too stubborn to actually listen to your own advice, I decided to take things into my own hands." – he seriously responded earning a slap on his arm.

"Well, do you think you can take the wheel in your hands and take me home now?"

Nick growled remembering that she really needs to get some sleep. Even if all he wanted to do was to take her home and stay there with her.

"Yeah, I guess our timing is a bit off." – he's face darkened a bit as he recalled what she will be doing this weekend. She'll put her life in danger. And even If he knew that she can take care of herself, he was still scared. Sara felt his change in behavior, and she knew what he was thinking. He always did carry his heart on his sleeve.

"Hey, you know you have no reason to be worried about me?"
"Sara, I always worry about you. It has nothing to do with me thinking that you can't defend yourself. It's just, that I don't want anything to happen to you. So, let me worry, OK?"

She smiled and she squeezed him hand.

She wasn't mad that he was worried. She could see it in his eyes that he only means good.

"How about I come in tomorrow morning, before you go home? I need to pick my car anyway." – she smiled and winked at him.

He turned his head around meeting her eyes. She was smiling at him, and that was the most beautiful thing he ever saw.
"You're doing it again, you know? I told you that you were a flirt." – he moved forward so he could grab another kiss from her. She was smiling through his kisses, what he noticed.

"You know, this is not good for my ego."

"I'm sorry, it's just that I don't think anyone ever called me a flirt." – she caressed his cheek and noticed how rough it felt underneath her hand.

"Well, you are. And period. Now, I'm driving you home, so no distractions, please. Am I making myself clear? No more tugging your hair behind your ear, no more biting your lip, and no more winking."

She tried to keep a straight face, when another idea popped into her head. She looked him directly into his eyes.
"Yes, sir."

Nick gulped and thought how sexy that actually sounded. He shifted in his seat and started the car, deliberately avoiding Sara's look. The rest of the drive passed in silence. He parked his car in front of the building and forced himself to look at her.
"So, do you want me to come before shift tomorrow?" – she innocently asked.

"Well, you need to get your car." – he muttered.

"Yeah, I do. So, I can just drop by than. Say a quick hello." – she moved closer and reached for his hand. – "I'll see you than."

He thought she was going to kiss him, but she just squeezed his hand and turned away. Instinctively, he grabbed her hand back as the other found her face.

"Not so fast:" – he whispered as he leaned forward to give her another kiss. The kiss was soon filled with passion and both Sara and Nick fell into their own world again. The need for air broke their kiss, and they were both panting.

"I should go. See you tomorrow." – she got out of the car not waiting for Nick's response. Before she closed the door, she looked at him again and winked.

"Bye."

"Flirt!" – he yelled back grinning. The thought that he needs to go back to the lab entered his mind and he growled.

"Ah, hell…" – he started his car and left, not noticing that Sara was looking at him from her front door with a big smile on her face.
