Chapter 2

Sara sat at the computer processing the data from the break and enter the night before, she felt like she'd been sat at this computer for hours and it starting to bug her she couldn't find any suspects even though she had a set of prints it seemed the prints didn't belong to anyone well anyone on the database anyway but it was still running them. She decided Coffee was what she needed and headed to the break room, Nick was the only person in there making himself a coffee. Wow he looks great Sara thought to herself. "Hey Sara want a coffee" Nick asked pouring her one without waiting for an answer. Sara sat on the couch and Nick handed her the coffee. "What's up Sara you look beat" Nick asked. "It's nothing I'm just stuck on this break and enter at the jewellers last night I can't get a hit on the prints seems they don't belong to anyone. Sara sighed. "You need a break Sara, you work to hard and stress to much" Nick said. "I wish Nick but I just don't have the time" Sara replied. "Of course you do Sidle you must be owed weeks if not months of vacation time." Nick said looking at her. "Take the weekend off and come to Texas with me for a few days I'm headed out to see my family and well to be honest I wouldn't mind the company" Nick smiled at her.

"Nick I couldn't impose on you and your family like that" Sara said, not that I wouldn't mind a whole weekend with Nick she thought. "Of course you could Sara we're friends aren't we and I'm not taking no for an answer" Nick said getting up and heading for the door. "Hey were are you going" Sara asked. "I'm going to tell Grissom your coming to Texas with me tomorrow" Nick answered. "What Nick I never said yes wait." Sara stammered. "I told you Sar you need a break and I'm not taking no for an answer" he replied and walked off. "Ugh men" Sara sighed collapsing on to the couch but secretly she was pleased at the thought of all that time with Nick time to figure out if he felt the same. "What about men" Catherine said walking into the room. "Oh nothing just Nick being impossible, he's making me go to Texas with him for the weekend" Sara replied. "Making you" Catherine said raising an eyebrow. "I didn't think anyone could make Sara Sidle do anything". "Well he said I needed a break and invited me to Texas for the weekend with him and I tried to protest but he wouldn't take no for an answer and now he's away to tell Griss I'm going" Sara replied trying to hide her smile but Catherine could not be fooled. "I saw that smile Sara Sidle you actually want to go, you've got it bad for Nicky you can't fool me" Catherine laughed at her blush. Just then Nick reappeared. "Can't fool you about what Cath" Nick asked. "Nothing Nicky Nothing" Cath replied innocently before leaving. "Ok it's all sorted Sara, Grissom said no problem so I'll pick you up at 6am ok?" Nick asked. "I guess" Sara replied.

Saturday Morning 6AM

"Nicky did we have to leave so early I'm tired" Sara moaned. "Well the flights at 7.30 so yea we did sorry" Nick said sympathetically. "Flight huh I thought we were driving, I didn't book any flights" Sara said panicking. "Relax I booked you a ticket we'll pick it up at the airport, and drive to Texas are you mad it would take two days" Nick laughed.

"So I was thinking when we get there we could spend the day at the lake beside my house it's great for swimming and maybe we could get you a bit of a tan, your so white a bit like a vampire" Nick said laughing he loved teasing Sara it was so much fun. "Oh I know you didn't just say that Stokes" Sara said punching him playfully on the arm. They arrived at the airport and boarded the plane; the journey was uneventful as Sara slept most of the way. "Sara SARA" Nick said loudly " Wake up we're here". "Huh what " Sara asked sleepily.

They arrived at Nicks house and Nick knocked on the door. "Nicky is that you my baby boy" his mom said running out the door. "And this must be your lovely girlfriend Sara I've heard so much about" Sara looked a t Nick confused Girlfriend? Since when what did I miss? She thought still staring at Nick open mouthed as he didn't deny it and let his mom think it was true. As his Mom walked in Sara whispered to Nick "Girlfriend?" "I know Sara, I can explain" Nick said sheepishly. "It better be good" Sara replied following him into the house.
