Part 6

"Want a little help getting out of those wet clothes?" His voice was low and husky, but it didn't break through the barriers she had put up.

She turned, and glared at the guy stood behind her, the death glare that she knew he wouldn't dare mess with. "You're not going to be helping me out of any kind of clothes any time soon" She growled, and then she turned and stood face to face with Nick. He backed up a little sensing he'd pushed her too far. "you think your going to get away with that?"

"Hey, I was just doing what you asked baby…keeping the relationship between us" He defended, "Would you rather I'd told them?"

"I'd rather that you'd helped me" She spat, "You could have stopped them"

"Probably…but…it'd have been less fun" He smirked, "But if you'd like I can go and tell them right now"

"Too late…I'm wet already. And by the way…there's nothing to tell them because I'm breaking up with you"

"You don't mean that" He shot. She wasn't the only one that had gotten wet in the attack, his shirt was stuck to his body reveling his athletic build – she couldn't help but want to kiss him right then.

"Don't I… and whys that?" She asked.

"Because...you love me" He offered, with a smile.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I did – until you let them do that"

"How about you let me make it up to you baby?" He asked, as he moved his arms around her waist.

"Not going to happen…and especially not in Catherine's bathroom. Got it…" Sara shot. They had both been drying up in the bathroom, and knowing the door was locked Nick had no fear – he ran his hands down from her waist and pulled her into him. Their bodies pressed together. Sara smirked, as she reached up and took his cowboy hat, which he'd gotten back of the kids, and put it onto her head. "I said no cowboy"

"oh come on…I feel really guilty" He lent down and began to kiss her neck – "Nick…you should feel guilty…you just let them attack me." She explained. As she tried to fight against the urge to pull him into a passionate kiss, he looked up at her – their eyes meeting.

"What can I do to make it better?"

Sara thought a moment, "Get the camera of Gris…then…I'll think about forgiving you"

"Can I help you out of these cloths then?"

"Maybe…later" She smirked as she pushed him away –

-------------------

"She's going to be pissed"

"It's your fault"

"You told me" he defended.

"Well you came up with the 'plan'!" Catherine mocked Warrick as the two of them stood near the cake. The kids had gone back to playing, as the two of them put candles on the cake they were arguing over whose fault it was.

"You should go and apologies"

"Are you crazy…she's ready to kill. I think she's finished Nick off in there"

"What the hell was he thinking going in there after her anyway?" Catharine asked, "I mean – that's just asking to be murdered"

If she does kill him do you think that'd we'd be able to process the scene?" Warrick questioned, "I mean, we'd be personally involved…"

"To heck with it been personal – we wouldn't get to do it because Sara would come and kill us straight after." Catherine responded as she looked from the now finished Cake to Warrick – "Will you get the matches?"

"Why?" He asked,

"Because there in the kitchen, which is in the house…which is where Sara is."

"So you want me to be killed?" He asked

"I have a kid Rick, have a heart" Catherine gave him her best pleading look.

He sighed, "Girl you owe me" he walked toward away.

Catherine smiled and silently hoped that Sara did get hold of him – then she looked out to the mass of kids that filled her garden as they played on the bouncy castle laughing and joking – "Hey Kids…cake in a few minuets" She called out.

------------

"I've been thinking…"

Sara was sat on the bouncy castle, the kids had left a little over an hour ago – as the party broke up the rest of the team had offered to stay and help clean up.

"That's never good Sidle" Nick smirked. He was sat next to her, with a bottle of water in his hand.

"Hey" She slapped him on the arm, "I'm still mad at you for earlier…you're real close to spending the rest of the week alone in that bed of yours." She threatened.

"I am huh?" He asked, "I think that's an empty threat. Your bluffing"

"You want to try me Nicky?" She growled, he didn't respond, "DIdn't think so" She smiled.

"So what were you thinking about?" He asked.

Sara looked over to the doorway of the kitchen where Warrick was stood with Grissom the both of them talking – Catherine must have been inside sending the last of the guests' home with the parents. All in all the party had gone well, and it seemed Lindsay and all of her friends had had a great time – after the cake, the guys, Nick and Rick had forced everyone to par take in a game of football, it had gone great. And surprising to Catherine and Sara they both were great around kids.

"About us" She explained,

"Really…so there is still an us after today?" he smiled,

"Only just" She growled playfully, "and only because you got the camera off of them"

"Yeah…the camera" Nick smiled, "would I let you down?" he wanted to reach out to her but knew that Grissom and Warrick were behind so he couldn't. "What was is about us that caused you to become this serious?" He asked.

"What is it we got Nick?" She asked,

"Hold on…you want to do this here…around…"

"I need to know" She explained, cutting him off and their eyes locking.

Nick looked to the house to see Catherine walk out into the garden with Lindsay – Sara didn't talk about the relationship around the guys … he had no idea what she was up to. "This…between us…it's the best thing that's ever happened to me Sara…"

"It's more than Sex?" She asked, though she knew the answer just wanting to hear it.

He looked into her eyes, confused as to just where this had come from, "What's wrong with you?"

"I need to know that, you want this to be a long term thing"

"I want this to be a forever thing" He explained.

"That's the best thing I hared all Day Stokes. You know that right?" a smile formed, she couldn't help it.

Nick smiled, "Tell me you want it to be forever"

"Forever and Always" She nodded her head. Then she slowly moved her hand to his that was rested on the castle next to her. Her own trembling a little as she prepared herself for what she was about to do. She looked from where their hands met to his eyes. They burned into her, burying deep into her heart.

"What do you want right now?" She asked.

He didn't break eyes contact, and he'd never been this serious "Right now I want to kiss you." He explained.

She nodded "Than do it…" She told him.

"What?"

"Do it, Kiss me" her tone was deep and husky, so sexy that Nick wanted nothing more than to kiss her, to take her in his arms.

"But…what about…" He turned his head to see Catherine, Warrick, Gil and Lindsay all sat on the patio wondering just what had caused Sara to do this. Then he felt her fingers entwine with his pulling his attention and gaze back to her. Their eyes met, again.

"You want them to know still?" She asked, "If you still want them to know then kiss me"

"I want the world to know…" He explained, "As long as you want it too" knowing that she was the one who wanted this to be private he wanted to make sure that it was what she wanted now and he wasn't pushing her into it.

"You told me last night you wanted to show everyone I was yours - you wanted them all to know… so show them Nick." He didn't need to be told again, his saw in Sara's eyes she'd thought about this – "I'm yours Nick…just don't hurt me"

"Never" he dropped the water bottle and with his free hand moved it to her cheek and moved in kissing her passionately. She opened her mouth letting him in, for the first time fully opening up herself to the world. She closed her eyes, been ripped apart by his love – as it held tight onto her heart. Her hand moved to chest as she took hold of his shirt pulling him closer - she'd put everything she had out there now. Risked been crushed, publicly if this didn't work out. But he was worth the risk...he was worth everything in her eyes.
