Previously: "What did I do to deserve you" he whispered as they slowly became sleepy again.
"Your heart deserves so much more than me sweetie." Sarah replied.
"That's not true Sarah... And there would never be anybody better than you. You're perfect. You're an angel sent down from heaven and I'm the luckiest man on the planet."
Sarah smiled into his chest once more before sleep finally taking over both of them.
Chapter Nineteen: She Said What!
Chuck woke just over ninety minutes later and Sarah was still on top of him her head on his upper chest and her bare breasts rubbed up against his stomach. Her legs were wrapped tightly between Chuck's right leg. Chuck let his blood circulation restore throughout his body before he attempted to pick himself and Sarah up without waking her. He didn't want to wake her, he loved looking at her in a peaceful slumber. Once blood circulation was freely flowing again he gently picked himself up along with Sarah and their blanket. Chuck was careful to wrap his arm firmly around Sarah and managed somehow to use his other hand to drag the blanket along with them and open and close the sliding door into the apartment. Sarah already had her arms wrapped around Chuck from where they were laying together and she instinctively moved tighter into him nestling into Chuck's warmth. Sarah was subconsciously moaning at the amazing feel of the grip he had around her. Chuck was struggling to walk without tripping over because of the combination of the blanket he was carrying in front of them and being unable to think straight knowing he was holding his naked girlfriend against his body. The only clothing that they had on between them were Chuck's shorts and having her legs wrapped around his groin with her sweet spot rubbing up against him wasn't helping things either. He arrived back at their bed thankful to not have tripped over.
Chuck threw the blanket back onto the bed first then climbed onto the bed with Sarah still wrapped around his body he put them both down on the bed and threw the duvet back over them and snuggled into Sarah who was now next to him facing him. Sarah was a little startled from all of the moment from the balcony to their bed "Chuck?" she moaned subconsciously worrying that Chuck was leaving again. Chuck kissed Sarah's cheek "Ssh honey I'm here, I'm not going anywhere go back to sleep." Sarah smiled not opening her eyes she snuggled back into Chuck and wrapped her legs around Chuck's. Chuck wrapped his arm over Sarah and tucked as tight as possible into the angel currently laying in front of him. He quickly drifted of back to sleep...
14:00 hours
Los Angeles
Chuck and Sarah's hotel Apartment
Sarah was the first to wake and she quickly opened her eyes hoping not to have a repeat performance of earlier this morning. Sarah never liked to see anybody hurting especially not her Chuck who was the only person in her life who mattered to her. She was relieved and instantly cheerful to find that she was still in Chuck's arms this time they were actually in bed though. Was all what happened on the balcony just a dream? 'Nope I definitely would not have been dreaming when Chuck told me he was falling for me. He must have carried us back here.' Sarah says with the brightest smile that has ever formed on her face as Sarah snuggled closer into her boyfriend and started to kiss him from one side of his cheek until she reached his lips. Soon after Chuck started to wake up.
"Mmm. Hi handsome." said Sarah smiling into his eyes her face just inches away from his.
"Hi beautiful" Replied Chuck smiling.
"Did you have any more nightmares?" Sarah asked still curious if it was a dream.
"Nope no more since, just dreams of a beautiful angel laying next to me" He said holding his smile.
Sarah's face lit up radiantly before she kissed him again.
"Thank you for earlier" Said Chuck.
"Chuck you don't have to thank me I'll do anything for you."
"Well thank you anyway." He smiled. "What time is it beautiful?" Chuck asked.
"Why don't you find out yourself lazy bones?" She giggled.
"Well that would be pretty hard to do because I have a certain angel wrapped tightly around me from head to toe making me immobilized." He replied grinning as he initiated a kiss on his girlfriend for the first time today.
Sarah moaned into his mouth then leaned up and looked over at the clock "It's 2pm and I'm wrapped tight around you to stop you leaving me." She replied smiling.
"I'll never leave you." He says with a level of conviction he didn't even know he had which overwhelms Sarah as she becomes very emotional at hearing the power and sincerity of her boyfriend, partner, lover, beast, soul mate? Sarah paused at that last one as a HUGE smile began to form on her face as her inner thoughts thanked every single god possible for granting her such an amazing boyfriend.
"So how did we end up back in bed Chuck?" She asked curiously.
"I carried you." He replied nonchalantly.
"Mmm.. my knight in shining armour." Sarah replied before she moved to completely sit on top of him and lay back down to kiss him once more. She demanded entrance into his mouth and her tongue began on it's own expedition of exploring every corner of Chuck's mouth occasionally waging a little war with Chuck's causing Chuck to moan into Sarah's mouth turning her on in the process. "I think your gallantry deserves a reward Chuck." Sarah whispered seductively with her lips mere inches away from Chuck's. Sarah slowly began kiss her way down to her final destination.
"Mmm Sarah.." Chuck managed to mutter out not thinking properly with the assault Sarah was launching on his body "Shouldn't we be making a start? I wanted to make us something before the meeting." He replied.
Sarah stopped her attack on Chuck's body momentarily and looked up at him on her hands and knees. "Chuck... food is always better afterwards." she grinned.
"Uhhh after what Sarah?" He replied a tad confused. Blame it on just waking up or blame it on a goddess who was on her hands and knees looking down over him naked.
Sarah smiled and lowered herself down to Chuck's shorts and removed them by pulling on them with her teeth. She gripped Chuck's arousal with her hands and briefly replied "After this." before placing her warm lips over his erection.
Chuck could only pleasurably sigh. Any remaining logical thoughts vanished from his mind the moment Sarah's lips touched him. He incomprehensibly muttered, "oh...ohhh...After that..."
Sarah looked up at her baby and smiled.
15:00 hours
After their second round of love making had finished Chuck was now making them Belgian Waffles with Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries. Sarah was stood arms wrapped around him from behind.
Sarah was quietly thinking to herself that she needed to tell Chuck sooner or later about her past it was only fair that Chuck knows what her and her father used to do to innocent people. She would have to tell Chuck very soon because they had both admitted to falling for each other so it is better to tell him before it advances even further which it is, very quickly. Every time they make love to each other they become more and more attached. Sarah felt sick inside because he may not want to be with her after she tells him. Sarah can't imagine being without Chuck now that she has him but it is the right thing to do so she will tell him soon even if it does mean she will become lonely for the rest of her life.
"Sarah?" Chuck asked.
"Huh?" Sarah replied.
"Are you ok sweetie?" Chuck asked.
"Uh yep why?" Sarah giggled.
"Uh because as much as I love you holding me like this I asked about a minute ago if you could remove your death grip just briefly so I can serve our food." He laughed.
Sarah released her tight grip around Chuck "Oh! sorry was daydreaming." she smiled.
After eating which consisted of them doing easily one of Sarah's most favorite things to do; feeding each other, they had gotten ready and quickly left their apartment to head for the briefing.
They were in their CIA issued transport vehicle heading towards Castle when Sarah spoke "So Chuck?"
"Yep Sarah?" Chuck looked briefly at Sarah, he was driving the SUV.
"Spill." She replied.
"Spill what?" Chuck asked knowing what that could only mean. 'Here goes World War Three.' he thought to himself.
"Chuck it's better to tell me what Carina said in Mexico now rather than having me finding out in the briefing dont you think?"
Chuck pulled over. "Uh yeah." He paused, coughing. "Look Sarah, there's conditions to me telling you." He replied.
Sarah glared at him.
"Look... you wont like what she said but does it really matter what she did say? We're requesting she be reassigned so she will be gone from us and the fact that you and I are together is all that matters right?"
"Yes Chuck we are all that matters so spill. It's not like she told you to leave with her is it?
Chuck didn't reply.
"Or did she?!" Suddenly shouted that almost caused Chuck to crash the vehicle.
Chuck squeaked."Carina may or may not have suggested that I leave you and go join up with her now that she's officially a CIA Agent."
"SHE SAID WHAT?!" Sarah slammed her first onto the dashboard in a rage never seen by Chuck before.
"Oh lord." Chuck muttered.
Chuck needed to calm Sarah down it's like he said, he would never have gone with Carina and Sarah is all that matters to him so there is no need to make a big fuss over it just get her reassigned and move on. Right? 'Yeah great plan Chuck just great try getting that point across to a CIA Agent who is trained in over two hundred ways to kill somebody and that same somebody tried to take her boyfriend away from her.'
Sarah's face was now filled with anger. 'I better tread carefully or she might just shoot me too.'
"I warned her Chuck. Last week I told her if she tried to sabotage what we had I would take her down and she went and done exactly that! I should have known!"
Chuck took Sarah's hand "Look Sarah... I know what she said had to hurt you. Hell it even hurt me why do you think I got so mad. But you can't kill her or anything she's a government agent and you'll go to jail. Be rational here Sarah."
Sarah looked at Chuck menacingly.
"Sarah don't look at me like that, it's not my freaking fault that the woman is a psycho."
"Oh you're right about that Chuck, a psycho bitch who needs to be taught a lesson. Oh I can promise I wont kill her, that will be letting her off lightly. I'm going to make her suffer Chuck and suffer good." Sarah said with a new found conviction.
'Oh lord.' Chuck squealed. 'not good.. not good in the slightest bit. Must warn Casey and Bryce.'
"Well Sarah I can't stop whatever you plan to do but please know you're all that matters to me and I would never contemplate leaving you for anything." he sighed in defeat.
"Chuck.. I know that..." She paused. Touching his cheek with her hand lovingly. "But Carina can not get away with this. Nobody makes a fool of me the way she did." Said Sarah menacingly.
"That I understand Sarah..."
16:45
Inside Castle
Chuck and Sarah were now inside Castle. They had momentarily separated to do their own thing. Chuck went to the gun range to find Casey and Bryce to update them on the situation with Carina.
As he got there they were just leaving. Chuck said hello to his two friends and partners. "Hey guys"
"Hey, how you doing?" They asked.
"Uh fine. Listen I need your help with something and I don't have a lot of time." Chuck replied.
"Sure anything for you Chuck, shoot? They both replied.
Chuck quickly told them what Carina hit him with in Mexico and they both were upset that Carina would try to do that.
"And Sarah now knows too." He added at the end.
"Oh Chuck you idiot why did you tell her." Replied Casey.
"I had no choice Casey. I promised her back in Mexico. She would have got it out of me in front of Graham otherwise."
"This isn't good buddy. Sarah broke my hand for just trying to advance on her. I can't imagine what she'll do to somebody who advances on her boyfriend!" Replied Bryce.
"I know... Look we need to get Carina reassigned for unprofessional conduct and keep them away from each other." Replied Chuck.
"Do you think that's wise Chuck? Don't want to piss Sarah off even more she promised not to kill her right? Just let her beat the crap out of Carina, it's not like she doesn't deserve that." Said Casey.
"She does deserve it but what about Graham. The last thing we need is some sort of inquiry and a disbanding of the team. I'm happy here and we're a damn fine team and I wont let Carina ruin that John, I wont." Chuck replied with conviction.
"Ok... So then we let her get a few kicks and punches in then separate them. Then you are going to have to sweeten the deal Chuck, promise her something in return for her leaving Carina alone something romantic." Said Bryce.
Chuck's eyes lit up the second Bryce had said that an idea had formed inside his brain. "Bryce you're a genius that I can do." Chuck was suddenly more confident again.
17:30
The debriefing had been just a routine debriefing. The Agents gave a full report to Graham about any contacts. Any times they they may have been compromised. Was the Safe House still secure was the Asset useful etc etc. they were now coming to the end of the debriefing.
"So great job in Mexico team the two Agents you captured I'm sure will provide us with a lot of information to use against Fulcrum once a deal has been made. Was there anything else?"
"Yes sir." Sarah spoke.
"Very well what is it?" The Director asked already knowing what this was about. He received a full report and apology from Carina for almost screwing up the mission Graham felt sorry for Sarah and if he didn't need Carina for something else he would have thrown the book at her.
"On the grounds of sheer un-professionalism while on assignment as an Agent to this government I have to request that Agent Miller be assigned far away from my team and somewhere low key. She's a risk to the entire Agency." Replied Sarah bitterly.
"I see... Does anybody have anything they would like to add to that?" Graham asked.
"Sir, we all agree with one hundred percent certainty that Agent Miller is a liability to this team and we can not continue to work with her." Chuck said with Bryce and Casey backing him up all the way.
"Very well... I have already had Agent Miller reassigned." Graham replied.
'Hmm that was too easy.' All four agents thought to themselves.
"But now you're back to the beginning. You need a new partner. If you like I'll have my analysts send in the files of the most promising Clandestine Operatives that we have into the conference room." Said Graham.
"Yes sir, thank you." They replied.
"Director?" Chuck asked
"Yes what is it Agent Bartowski?"
"What of Agent Kate Myers?" Chuck Asked.
The Director paused. Shocked to hear the name Chuck mentioned, he completely forgot.
"Chuck..." Replied the Director using his first name. Chuck was shocked at the first name term. Casey, Bryce and Sarah all looked on shocked too. "I'm sorry to not have informed you of her situation sooner. She's emotionally burnt out." Graham sighed.
"When and what happened?" Chuck asked concerned.
Sarah listened in intently, 'Who is Kate?'
"She was captured three months ago along with her partner Agent Tomkins. They were both romantically involved and Stephen was killed when they were in Iraq. We managed to rescue Kate but she blames herself. Reports however indicated that none of it was her fault and she couldn't have done no more than what was asked of her to save him."
Chuck looked at Sarah and Sarah at him they were both thinking the same thing. 'What if that happens to us.'
"Oh god.. where is she?" Said Chuck with his head in his hands.
"She is in Seattle with her Mother Chuck. I'm really sorry I never told you earlier I know you two were partners and friends back when you first trained to become an Agent."
Chuck sighed "Sir, if I can bring her back would she be reinstated?"
Director Graham thought about it momentarily "If she can prove to be emotionally stable I don't have any problems with that." Graham replied.
"Ok sir could you have Manoosh send in all files on Myers please?" Chuck asked.
"Very well... I'll also have Manoosh bring in the files of those other Agents just in case. Once you have made your decision you will need to fly out immediately we need this team fully operational without further delay. There have been more reports of Fulcrum and until we have more insight we have absolutely no idea what they are up to. I'll return later this evening and will expect a decision" Replied Graham then he left.
Once Graham left Chuck turned to Sarah who was seated next to him.
"Sarah..."
"I know Chuck... I thought the same thing we'll talk about it later. So Kate what's the story?" She asked while Bryce and Casey also listened.
"Uhh..." He paused thinking back to how he first met her "When Graham first recruited me he sent me out to Europe to undergo my training. Kate was also a recruit we were good friends and were partnered in training. When we officially became Agents we went our separate ways but still stayed in contact by phone quite regularly and then catching up whenever we were both in the same town." Sarah looked at Chuck questionably. "No it wasn't like that Sarah. But she's a damn fine Agent completely professional and I can not believe Graham never told me what happened. She doesn't really have anybody that's how we got on well together. Then again none of us really have anybody do we." He said sadly thinking about how his friend Kate must be feeling right now losing somebody she was attached to.
Sarah, Bryce and Casey could only nod their heads agreeing with Chuck's statement. All Agents live lonely lives to protect the innocent it's a decision and oath all of the Agents in the room had took and every other Agent employed by the government. "No Chuck we don't but all of us here have each other hey?" Replied Sarah and even though she said it to the whole team she was mostly pointing out that Chuck had her and she had him, she reaffirmed this by reaching out for his hand.
Chuck smiled "Yes, we do Sarah."
Bryce nodded and smiled and even Casey let out a small smile.
"I'm going to try and do everything I can to get Kate here because she doesn't deserve to waste her life away. It happened to me after Afghanistan and Kate is such a nice person she doesn't deserve to ruin her life that way."
John grimaced at the mention of that. Probably not a good idea to be telling Sarah that he had a death wish and drank a lot for eighteen months.
Next Chapter learn more about Kate and Sarah says goodbye to Carina. And no she doesn't kill her. Or does she? Find out soon!
