Chapter 16- It's Gonna Be
The ride home was quiet, after 2 hours of a young brunette arguing that she really didn't need a babysitter and the doctor wouldn't know the difference, Nick didn't budge and now had his hands full with an angry CSI.
Alyssa had suggested they stop by the nearest book store for a few books, threatening that she gets difficult when she's bored. He had merely rolled his eyes as he pulled into a Barnes and Nobles. She had taken an hour choosing 7 books that Nick had so graciously pointed out that she'd be back to work within 2 weeks and back in her own apartment soon after that and 7 books were completely un-necessary which only earned him a death glare.
Nick pulled into his driveways, hitting the automatic lock for his garage and pulling in, the door closing behind in. He looked over at the sleeping figure next to him. Her book bag on her lap and her head gently turned towards him. Nick brushed a brown strand out of her face and watched her stir, smiling as her eyes fluttered open.
"Morning sunshine." He said pulling his key out of the ignition.
She yawned. "Hooorning, excuse me." She apologized, sitting up straight and opening her door.
Nick reached into the back seat and grabbed Alyssa's over night bag he and Warrick had packed along with the bag the two of them stopped by her apartment to pack, and glanced at the owner of the bag, who was already out of the car waiting for Nick. Nick joined her at her side closing the car door and opened the side door to his house, letting an angry but strangely curious brunette into his personal space.
"Well it's nothing special, sorry." He said throwing his keys on the table by the door and began to untie his shoes.
Alyssa turned to face him. The anger in her eyes gone, replaced by appreciation and a hint of fear. "No," She said quietly, "It's great, thank you." She turned back around and proceeded to take off her shoes and place them next to Nick's.
He watched her as she swung the bags he had brought in, over her shoulder.
She smiled.
She blushed.
Nick cleared his throat, "Here I'll show you the guest room." He walked past her and she followed.
The pair walked down a long hallway covered in dark blues and greens. Definitely a mans' house. She thought to her self. Nick stopped in front a door on the right side of the hallway.
"This will be your room." He said opening the door.
Alyssa walked in and looked around. The room was painted in a lighter blue and had denim shades. There was a Queen sized bed to her right, a little wooden box sat at the foot of it and two side tables located on either side of the bed. To her left she found a desk with a cordless phone and a small closet to the left of it. She looked past the bed and saw a big blue chair in the left corner by the window. She smiled and turned to Nick. "It's great thank you." She walked in further and placed her bags on the bed.
"My room is across the hall if you need anything. The bathroom is at the end of the hallway, the electronics are in the main room. Feel free to use the computer if you need to and make your self at home." He said turning to leave but stopped.
"Oh I'm ordering Chinese food, any preference?" He asked.
She looked around, she was hungry. "Anything without meat and fish,"
He blinked.
"You're a vegetarian."
She nodded.
"I don't want to be a hassle. I can leave if you want-"
"No, you're not getting out this that easy Crane. I'll order something for both of us." He said laughing to himself and closed the door behind him.
"Good because I don't think I want to leave." She said softly and covered her mouth quickly in disbelief that she even said it.
Alyssa rummaged through her duffle and pulled out a few of her new CDs, her lap top and her iPod. She figured she had time to place her new CDs on her iPod and set it all up. Alyssa turned to face the dresser located by the window and saw her reflection and gasped. She looked horrid, even by her standards, which were pretty low. She reached into her bag and pulled out her shampoo, soaps and fresh comfortable clothing.
Sticking her head out the door, arm full of her showering stuff. She crept out of the room quietly only to slam into Nick as he exited his. She was pushed against the wall and let out a sharp hiss as the bruises on her back collided with the door post. She let her head lean back against the post for a few seconds.
"Oh God. Lys, are you ok?" Nick asked and hurried to her. He had fallen backwards into his room and landed on soft carpet.
She nodded against the door post and stood up straight. "Yea, its ok, I'm fine." She collected her self, still fully aware of the blue marks on her back.
Nick looked at the bundle in her hands. "Having a shower?"
She nodded.
He smirked, "Ok, food will be here in a few minutes." He said walking off towards the main room of the house.
Alyssa traipsed slowly to the bathroom and shut the door behind her. She peeled her clothing off her body and turned on the hot shower.
Nick stood in the kitchen collecting plates as he heard the shower start. He rummaged through drawers to find napkins and clean forks. He found a few napkins but couldn't find the forks. He turned to his sink and saw the pile of silver ware. Nick cursed his laziness and began to wash a few pieces of silverware for the two. After gathering everything he needed to eat he set the table and turned on the highlights from last night's baseball game. Nick couldn't stay still for more then 2 minutes. He stood up and began to pace the room.
Alyssa turned off the shower 15 minutes later, stepped out and dried the excess water of her skin. She reached to grab her underwear when it hit her. She didn't grab any. "Shit." She cursed. Alyssa slowly opened the door. OK it's about 5 steps to the room. I can make it in 3 leaps… maybe two. She looked out again and saw Nick pacing and wrapped Nick's spare towel around her tighter. Opening the door a little wider she took 3 leaps to the guest room and dived for her over night bag.
Nick turned his hair suddenly, as he saw a quick figure dive to the guest room, looking past the guestroom he saw the bathroom door open. He shook he head as the door bell rang. "Coming," He said unlocking the bolts and opening the heavy door. A man holding two separate bags of Chinese food stood and announced the price. Nick reached for his wallet. He had left it on his night stand. "I'll be right back." He said turning towards the direction of his bed room.
Alyssa has found her underwear and headed out of the room only to almost collide with Nick.
Again.
Alyssa nearly dropped her underwear let alone the towel. "I-uh...forgot…." She stuttered.
Nick on the other hand realized how long it had actually been since he had a woman in the house let alone one standing in front of him with nothing on but a towel.
Nick coughed and walked into his room, red faced, leaving the wet-haired brunette alone in the hallway.
Alyssa turned quickly and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She pulled on her undergarments, her blue and white sheep PJ bottoms and her long white tank top. Deciding that blow drying her hair now would be pointless, she brushed out the tangles, as it was already drying and starting to curl. "Damn curls." She mumbled. After giving her self the once over, gathering her stuff and mustered up enough courage, she unlocked the bathroom door and walked out.
Nick paid for the food and started to unpack and a thin, tall figured reached into the bag to help. Her hair was wet and curling at the bottom. She lifted her head and gave a quick smirk and went back to pulling boxes out of the bag. Nick watched as her black and blue arms disappeared into the paper bag and dragged out box after box. Once everything was out of the bag she folded up both paper bags for recycling and left them by the sink. She looked up at the man standing beside her.
"I don't know about you Nick, but I'm starved." She smiled.
Nick smirked back and handed her the small boxes of vegetarian food. "Me too, Table?"
"Table," She said walked towards the already set Table.
