A/N: Thanks again for the reviews! I'm trying to get as many chapters written and uploaded before school starts (i.e. tomorrow).

P.S. I don't own anything…sadly…if I did the finale would have been very different.

When Nick got his a new air conditioner, Sara was sad to see him leave. She liked his company as well as his kisses. Sara knew she would miss coming home with someone else and not having to order out to eat. She would miss watching movies with Nick while being snuggled close to his body, but she was also nervous.

Sara had asked that they take things slow and not to tell anyone at work yet. Nick respected her wish, as expected, and showered her with secret kisses. She was worried that because Nick had left, their relationship would be over. Did Nick think of it as just a fling?

Nick was very attractive, there was no denying that. If he dumped Sara or just ignored her, he could have a new girlfriend in no time. Sara on the other hand, would need time to recover. She never let anyone into her life that she did not trust and it was hard for her to find that quality in a man so she was often alone. She had found that she was able to trust Nick and she did not want that to go away.

As she walked into the lab the Monday after Nick went back to his own house, Sara was tense. She did not know what to expect from Nick. Sara headed strait for the locker room. She wasn't sure what she wanted to say, or if she was going to say anything at all just yet. She would observe Nick to see how he felt about their relationship. Sara knew she was good at observing, that's why she was a CSI. Of course, her plan went down the drain as soon as she actually saw Nick.

"Hi." Instead of a 'hello' or 'good morning', Nick glanced around before placing a small, chaste kiss on Sara's lips. Sara was till confused. "Wait, Nick."

"What's the matter? Is there something bothering you?"

"Um, kind of," Sara paused," Nick, I just want to know if we were a fling or not. Was it a spur of the moment kind of thing or did you mean it?" Sara breathed. She was glad she had gotten it over with but she was afraid of his answer.

"Sara, I meant it. I meant it all. I would never try to hurt you like that." Sara smiled.

"Good. Otherwise I would have to make Warrick beat you up," she teased.

"Oh really?" Nick leaned in and kissed her. It was a small one, just for a second but it was just long enough for Greg to see it.

A/N: It's short, I know but it means that I will update quicker.
