Chapter 3 – A Little Less Conversation – Elvis Presley

when Nick and Sara left the break room, they headed towards the morgue.

"Nick...uhm...about last night-" She was cut off by Nick.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about what happened." Nick was hoping that if he took things slow with Sara, she would eventually go out with him.

"so about what Warrick said...uhm...uh...I don't really know what to uh...say..." Sara stuttered. She was hoping that with what happened last night between her and Nick, she would be able to tell him her true feelings.

"yeah...uh...neither do I...uhm...but uhm...do you want to...uh...possibly...I mean, I dunno.. well if you really like me..." Nick trailed off.

"Just spit it out, Nick!"

"uh ok. Would you like to go out with me?" Sara stared at Nick, flabbergasted.

"but...I thought-"

"yea-"

"you-"

"last night-"

"I-"

"but-"

"no mentioning-"

"I know but-"

"I don't-"

"TAKE A CHANCE, SAR!" Nick whined. She was always to protective of herself, and she acted as if everyone was her enemy, and if she showed any weakness they would attack her.

"but...I...don't know...what I said...last night..." Sara looked at him. She knew that her feelings for Nick weren't just spur of the moment. She really did like him more than a friend. She looked down at the floor, her face blushing profusely. When she looked back up, Nick was giving her puppy dog eyes.

Damn you Nick Stokes... Sara thought. She could never say no to him, when he had that look on his face; Nick Stokes was the expert at giving the puppy dog face.

"oh...but...fine. I'll go out with you Mr. Nicholas Stokes. But you better tone down that big-head ego of yours, or this'll be the last date you have with me."

"Alright. What time do you want me to pick you up?" he asked. His face was glowing, and his ego was almost visible around his head.

"well. How about you pick me up around 8. and might I ask what you have in store for our date?" Sara was wondering, knowing full well she was in for a surprise, whatever Nick chose for their first date.

"oh. You'll have to wait'n'see, lil' lady." Nick drawled out his accent more heavily on purpose. Sara rolled her eyes and walked on. He kept staring at Sara, wondering what she was going to wear, and envisioning her with dirty thoughts, and much less clothing. Nick was so caught up in his little fantasy world that he became oblivious to the door that had just appeared in his way. In the next moment, Sara was on the ground laughing, and Nick's face a bright red, while Catherine had a look of surprise on her face. She was the one who had opened the door.

"Oh Nick I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." she had concern in her voice, hoping that Nick really was okay. Then she looked over at Sara, who was rolling on the floor laughing.

"that...was...PRICELESS!" she cried. She had tears flowing out of her eyes she was laughing so hard. Nick's face only grew redder.

Okay i have just made a total ass outta myself in front of Sara. I may as well just give up the fact that she likes me, i mean, she's laughing at me! Nick thought. He tried to look cool by just standing up and pretending that nothing happened, but that just made Sara laugh even more. Eventually her laughing subsided, and she picked herself up from the ground.

"serves you right, for that big ego of yours. I think that door did you some good." Sara was still giggling a bit.

"do you still want to go out with me on our date?" he asked. He had expected her to say no, but got the complete opposite.

"ya know, i think since you walked into that door, that gives you the right to take me out on another date, after this one, depending on how well this one goes." Nick's eyes opened wide. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He gets to go out with Sara for 2 dates, and one he got for walking into a door. His jaw dropped, and his stomach was doing flips.

"what? It's not that big of a deal. I mean, it's just a date, right?" Sara said.

"yeah. Yeah. Right. ok. Let's go see what Doc Robbins has for us." Nick said

2 dates? Yeah right. She'll want to go out on a thousand dates with me after this first one, Nick thought, as they entered the coroner's office.

Hey everybody! Sorry this took so long. My inspiration finally hit me at midnight monday, so yea. Review because reviewing is good. And if anybody has an idea for the date, tell me! Cuz i dunno what to do for it. Hehe.
