That Rolling Thunderstorm!
"Nick" Sara Whispered. "mmm" was his reply. "Nick" She whispered a little more loudly. Nick sat up on his bed and looked around until his eyes rested on Sara in his doorway in her nightdress. "Hey Sar, What up" Nick asked concerned. "umm sorry Nicky were you asleep" Sara asked. "Its fine honey whats the matter" Nick said motioning for Sara to come sit on the bed beside him, he looked at his alarm clock it was 2am and thats when he saw the flash of light and heard the clap of thunder. He looked at Sara and smiled "Sara your not afraid of a little thunderstorm are you"? Sara nodded slowly "Ever since I was a kid Nick I've always hated them and normally I'm ok at home but here I'm in a strange house and I don't know I guess that old fear crept back, I'm sorry I shouldn't have woken you" Sara turned to leave. "Sara sweetie it's fine come on sit down" Nick said gently reaching for her hand and pulling her down beside him. Nick wrapped his arms tightly around Sara and pulled her into a hug whispering in her ear " It's alright now your safe here with me, I promise I won't let anything happen to you ever". Sara smiled, thinking back to the song she had heard on the radio a few days earlier she felt like she was home in Nicks arms just like in the song."I feel a bit silly Nicky I mean I'm a big girl, it's just when I heard that first roll of thunder I was so frightened"
"Sara theres no need to feel silly, you we're afraid and I'm glad i could be there to make you feel better" Nick answered gently stroking her soft brown hair. "Sara honey, I'm not trying to rush things or pressure you but do you want to sleep in here with me, if it would make you feel safer and i mean just sleep" he smiled. Sara looked up at Nick tenderly "thats really sweet of you Nick are you sure you don't mind I mean it is a single bed". "Sara it's fine honey as long as you feel safe" Nick replied moving over in the bed and pulling the covers back so that Sara could get in beside him. Nick wrapped his arms around Sara and she moved closer into him. Sara smiled as she drifted in to a deep sleep she had never felt safer in her life.
Nick woke up around 9am and Sara was still sleeping peacefully her head rested on his chest he watched her sleep thinking my god she is so beautiful. Nick couldn't believe how well this trip was turning out he'd hardly dared hope Sara felt the same way about him as he did about her, his only worry was would it be the same when they returned to Las Vegas. He wondered how this would work, since Co-workers dating was frowned upon and then there was Grissom he was bound to have and opinion especially since Sara had so recently asked him out. This was not going to be an easy start to a relationship. Just as he was contemplating where there relationship was going next Sara began to stir. "Morning Sleeping beauty" Nick murmured as Sara opened her eyes. "Good Morning" Sara replied with a grin. Nick leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips, then sat up "Sara I'm going to take a shower and then I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast, I think after breakfast we should go for a walk and talk" "Ok Nicky" Sara replied rolling over in bed and closing her eyes again already she was missing Nicks strong arms around her waist. She wondered what he wanted to talk about maybe he had changed his mind about them decided it was a mistake. He couldn't have could he? Sara began to panic as her mind went into overdrive about what Nick was thinking.
