A/N: Totally random, written at midnight when I couldn't sleep.

Disclaimer: Don't know em don't own em not making any profit. I'm just borrowing David Gray's song: Be Mine for a few minutes as inspiration. Oh and obviously the Avocado Boat thingies are off the Internet nothing to do with me so no credit due there!

Probably VERY cheesy but hey, immerse yourself with Snickers!

Enjoy!

She showed me
By Laydeebear

I'd never been one for noticing my surroundings. I mean yeah at work I was paid to be observant and with people? Sure I was a people person but I had never taken the time to notice things and actually really take the time to look at them, not when I didn't have to anyway.

Until her.

When I first saw her I knew she was special, don't ask me how but I just knew. Then we spent more and more time together and again, I knew. I knew that I was falling and falling hard; the way we flirted non stop, shamelessly in front of everyone else; the way I saved my best smile just for her, the way that no matter how moody we both were we always had a smile for each other.

She really is amazing.

She changed everything, made me open my eyes and stand up straight. Made me look at the world differently. She brought me a new world.
I found out why she became a vegetarian, and she told me how animals might taste good but was one meal worth a defenceless creature suffering? 'Come on Nicky just try it?' A week went by before I had the guts to tell her that my new All Veg/No Meat diet was in fact an All Meat merely disguised as All Veg diet. We laughed for ages and she told me that I didn't have to change who I was just to make her happy. I told her I'd do anything to make her happy.
She taught me how to cook Avocado Potato Boats and even a new way to tie a tie one night when I was late for a date.
We watched Animal Planet and she told me about the only nocturnal monkey and why the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey had become endangered. She was the only one that didn't laugh when I told her about my fascination with birds.
She showed me the quieter side of Las Vegas, she'd been here nowhere near the fraction of the time I had and she had discovered more in that short time than I ever would have in a lifetime.
She told me why she prefers red to blue and why she won't eat Phish Food Ice Cream.
She told me that Hank cheated on her and I held her as she cried.
She told me things about her family I don't think anyone knows and we talked about it for hours.
We watched films and laughed til we both cried.
She told me I was her best friend and I smiled at her. She smiled back and my heart broke.

I lived in hope for a long time. And I loved her in silence for even longer.

Then she shattered my dreams, when went to him, confessed things to him and asked him to love her. Asked for love and affection. I would give her all the love and affection she wanted yet she went to him. Even after he rejected her she still wanted him, still thought about him. Sure we still flirted but I knew it meant nothing now, knew she just did it to mask the hurt and pain she really felt at his rejection.

It's weird how she opened my eyes to so many things, filled my head with knowledge; knowledge that I soon realised brought me nothing but pain in return.
I would have done anything for her to look at me the way she looked at him.
The only things left for me were dreams. Dreams that maybe one day she would realise that I could look after her; protect her, give her anything she wanted.
And dream I did.
But I stopped knowing, knowledge was pain and it was pain I didn't need. And without her knowledge was useless.

Then things changed, she distanced from everyone, from him and soon she was round my house; every other week at first, then every weekend, every other day, after every shift. I didn't mind; it was like things had never changed and I was happy again, and pretty soon she was too and we flirted again just like before.

But this time she kissed me.

It was like someone had turned a light on in my head and made everything clear and soon once again I was walking around with my eyes wide open and my head up.
Maybe it was false hope, maybe I was being stupid, maybe I was even a rebound for him.
I didn't care anymore I had to tell her, I could hear her now walking through the corridors humming to herself.
She'd been humming a lot lately. Humming and smiling to herself when she thought no one was looking or listening.
Music from the layout room; one of Greg's quieter CDs was floating through the quiet lab and I was sure everything had slowed down, she was taking ages to get here.
I was going to do it.

"Nick!"

That smile again, her hair pulled up messily. I could only offer her a smile in return, too nervous to move in case I gave myself away.

"Sara…"

She smiled again and set an empty mug down before staring back at me,

"You still want to cook for me tonight?"

"Yeah."

I nodded, as the words accompanying the music sounded around us, like some bad cheesy movie where the actors can't act and the woman always falls into the guy's arms in the last minute before the credits. It was doing nothing but making me feel sick. Maybe she sensed it because she moved towards the door and gently pulled it closed, offering me that smile again.

"You okay?"

I tried to speak but it came out as a squeak and I cleared my throat a few times noticing that she'd moved closer to me and that she'd touched my hair.

"I like it shaved."

"Uhh, you do?"

She nodded tilting her head to one side. I moved my hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear but stopped, moving my hand back into my pocket.

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

After all I'd told myself over the past few hours I didn't have the guts to say it, I mean sure she'd kissed me but that didn't necessarily mean that she wanted what I wanted. More hair had fallen down around her face, framing her features and I moved my hand again, once more stopping only this time she grabbed my hand mid air.

"Nick?"

Her voice was quiet, her eyes questioning. Without another word she touched my hand to her cheek and my first reaction was to brush my thumb over her eyebrow. She was leaning into my touch and her own hand still hadn't let go of mine.

"Sara I…"

Now her finger was on my lips and I fell quiet.

"I know."

"You…"

She cut me off leaning into me letting go of my hand and pressing against me, my free hand found her waist and then the small of her back; caressing the tiny bare patch of skin that appeared as she stretched her arms up to my face and neck.

"Kiss me?"

It took a few seconds to sink in before I heard her voice again, quieter than before, unsure.

"Nick?"

My thumb was still stroking her cheek and I brought her closer to me brushing my lips across hers. I looked at her for a reaction before pressing my lips to hers again this time for longer, it felt so good, like waking up and realising some wonderful dream was in fact a reality. Her arms fell further around my neck and I felt her body relax as the kiss deepened. Our tongues met and battled for space as our lungs battled for air.
Our hands touched and caressed.
As we pulled apart her eyes searched mine and I knew then that she loved me back.

One final lesson and it was the most important of all, she taught me to love and without knowing it I taught her back.

From the very first moment I saw you, That's when I knew,
All the dreams I held in my heart, had suddenly come true.
Knocked me over stone cold sober, Not a thing I could say or do,
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now my eyes are so wide.
Like you reached right into my head and turned on the light inside,
Turning on the light,
Inside my mind, hey!

Come on baby it's all right,
Sunday Monday day or night.
Written blue on white it's plain to see,
Be mine, Be Mine!
That rainy shiny night or day,
What's the difference anyway?
Honey till your heart belongs to me.

If I had some influence girl with the powers that be,
I'd have them fire that arrow at you like they fired it right at me.
And maybe when your heart and soul are burning you might see,
That everytime I'm talking with you it's always over too soon,
That everyday feels so incomplete till you walk into the room.
Say the word now girl,
I'll jump that moon, hey!

Come on baby it's okay,
Rainy shiny night or day,
There's nothing in the way now don't you see,
Be mine, Be mine!
Winter summer, day or night,
Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
Baby till your heart belongs to me,
Be mine Be mine!
Thursday Friday short or long,
When you got a love so strong,
How can it be wrong now? Mercy me!
Be mine Be mine!
Jumpin' Jesus holy cow!
What's the difference anyhow?
Baby till your heart belongs to me,
Be mine Be mine!

A/N: Thanks for reading, this was VERY random and EXTREMELY CHEESY (more than likely) hopefully it didn't suck. Was listening to the song and it inspired me and suddenly the story came into my head!

Please don't forget to tick that lil ol' box and review!
