Nick nervously rang Sara's doorbell. He heard it chime several times before the door was opened. Out stepped a beautiful brunette wearing a floor-legnth dress the color of twilight. It was blue, with a hint of purple and peach. She had her hair straightened, and it was silky and shiny. Nick stared at her for a moment, wondering if this was really Sara. "Wow! Sar, you look Amazing!"Nick said, staring at her. "Uh, thanks Nick. You don't look so bad yourself. Changed your shirt, I see. Finnaly!" She said, smiling. Nick had traded his usual green shirt for a black-gray striped suit and a white tie. He offered her his arm, and she took it, smiling at his gentlemanly gesture.
As they arrived at the Beachside Resturant, Nick quickly jumped out, and ran to open the door for her. She followed him through the elegant doors, and up to the blood-red-colored podium. A black-tux-clad man awaited them. "Stokes, reservation for 7:30."The man quickly scanned the satin-covered reservation list. He motioned to a waitress in a black knee-legnth skirt and a fancy satin shirt, the exact same color as the podium. She smiled brightly and showed them to a small circular table, covered with a red tablecloth, with a hint of white tablecloth underneath. Several small red tealights burned slowly in white ceramic candle-holders surrounding a white ceramic vase, which contained three red roses. The light cast a flickering, romantic glow onto the table. Nick pulled out a chair for Sara, and she sat obdiently. He took the other chair, and he looked out the glass wall seperating them from the beach.He was instantly serenated by waiters and waitresses, asking if they would like champagne or wine. Nick suggested Yellow Tail, a brand of wine he had tried recently and loved, although it was very rare. He was suprised when they had it, and eagerly awaited the moment when Sara would try it. He was sure she would love it. "Mmm! This is great!" She proclaimed after the first sip. She glanced at the huge grin on Nick's face, and smiled shyly before taking a second sip.
An hour later, after delicious spinach-and-feta tortellini with rose sauce and to-die-for 'Petit pain d'épice du poire, a la mode' dainty little slivers of gingerbread cake, with a hazelnut-brown sugar coating,wrapped in phyllo-pastry, smothered in a brandy-and-pear sauce, Nick suggested they go for a little stroll down the beach. She did not refuse, and quickly took off her only pair of dressy shoes, black heels. She held them loosely in her hand, and they swung slowly from side to side as she walked along the beach, feeling the sand between her toes. Nick watched her for a minute. She was beautiful, walking along a beach like a free spirit, her twilight dress billowing behind her, the stars twinkling down at her. She turned to him, and he quickly ran over to catch up. They walked in silence for a few minutes, then Sara sudenly stopped at sat down on the ground. She motioned for him to sit as well, and he happily obeyed. He draped his arm around her shoulders, and stared up at the stars.
"Look!" He whispered slowly. "They're beautiful!" She whispered back, lost in the constallations. "You're beautiful!" He said, and she tore her head away from the stars to see him staring at her awefully. He leaned towards her, and caught her lips in a kiss. He quickly withdrew, although it pained him; her lips tasted exactly like the phyllo desserts, but he definately did not want to rush her. She stared at him for a second, then leaned in for another kiss. This one was much longer, and it had turned into an open-mouthed kiss, with his tounge massaging hers. She put her arm around him, and they kissed silently for several more moments. To Nick it seemed like forever before they broke it off, although after it seemed very brief. "Nick" She whispered slowly. "Yeah?" He replied, kissing her cheek. "I really don't want to stop this, but we have to get back to the lab. Shift starts in like, two hours." She replied tentatively. "Oh, yeah. Sorry Sar." He replied apoligtically. They stood, and walked hand-in-hand towards Nick's Denali.
45 Minutes Later, Sara's Apartment, Stll in the Denali
Although they had arrived several minutes earlier, Nick and Sara still had not made it out the door. They were still in their seats, but both were leaning into the kiss. "Nicky!" She replied after another two minutes, breaking off the kiss. "Oh, yeah, sorry. So I will, uh, see you later?" He said hoarsely. "Yeah." She said, hopping out. "Hey Nicky!" She said as she leaned back into the car. "I had a really great time with you tonight." She said slowly. He smiled, and leaned over for a final kiss. She kissed him back, and then turned to her apartment. She glanced back, and smiled when she saw him staring at her. She walked dazedly into her apartment, and then fell asleep on her couch.
She awoke 30 minutes later from her wonderful dream. Nick had kissed her for hours on a beach with the bright sun above them. She had turned over to pick up her cold, icy martini when suddenly- BANG! She had rolled onto the floor, and knocked over her cellphone. She picked it up and checked the time. 11:30 It said in bright blue lights. Shit! She quickly stood up and walked over to the bathroom. She turned it on bleary-eyed, and the blast of cold water quickly woke her. She switched to the hot water, and washed her hair quickly. 5-minutes later, She jumped out, and quickly pulled on some jeans and her favourite blue t-shirt. She grabbed her keys and ran out to her own Denali, and soon she was pulling into the familiar Las Vegas Crime Lab parking lot.
