Chuck vs. The Wookiee

Chuck stood outside of Sarah's door, he slowly took a breath and reached for the silver knocker, he softly banged the door. Inside, Sarah wondered who that could be, she got up from her bed and went to the door, anxiously pulling it open.

She was a little shocked to see Chuck standing there with a pizza box in his hands, looking very cute in his brown jumper.

"Hey!" He said, noticing how gorgeous she looked with her golden hair spiralling around her shoulders. He watched her lips curl upwards as he put the bag of napkins down on the little side table.

"Vegetarian, no olives." He said, opening the box to reveal a very tasty looking pizza. "It's the only thing I know about you that's true, you don't like olives.

She smiled as she gazed up at him, she rested her head against the door. "Thank you." She grinned. "Come in." Oh my God! I can't believe this, he knows I don't like olives. She almost laughed at how pathetic she sounded. It wasn't as if the CIA were going to reassign her if they found out that Chuck knew she didn't like olives. It was cute how he'd observed her, and how he was keen to know more about her.

She moved out of the way and let him come in.

"I'm sorry about the beach." He said as they walked together. "Your absolutely right, I shouldn't let my feelings affect the mission and uh, if you and Bryce, if you had a, uh, thing. Well that makes sense, he always got the great girls." Chuck said looking up at her. She glanced back at him almost lovingly, but she didn't speak, she waited for him to continue.

"I just wish I knew something real about you, can't you just tell me one true thing?" He pleaded. "Just one, like, where'd you grow up? Or - or if that's too much, I get it, I get it if that's too much. What's your name, your real name?" He babbled as he examined her storytelling eyes, she looked like she wanted to say something, but her lips didn't even part for even a word to come through.

"Or what's your middle name, can't you just tell me your middle name?" He continued as his eyes glistened with hope, but a silence ensued between them and Sarah didn't look as if she was going to say anything. He looked down at the floor and his face showed that he was severely disappointed. "I got to go get the napkins." He said quietly, admitting defeat as he stood up and walked over to where he had put them.

Sarah squeezed her eyes shut. "It's Lisa, my middle name is Lisa."

Chuck thought he heard something, he glanced over at her and narrowed his eyes, did she just answer his question? She looked emotional and her eyes were faraway. He thought he heard her say 'Lisa' but he couldn't be certain.

"What?" He whispered walking back over to her.

She looked up at him, her eyes wide. "Did you hear me?"

"I swear you said something like Lisa."

"I - I, I did." She couldn't meet his eyes.

"Is that your middle name?" He asked gently, settling beside her.

"It might be." She smiled playfully.

"Oh come on, Sar! Don't ruin it, is it true, is that really your middle name?" His eyes filled with a fresh sense of hope.

She couldn't do it, she couldn't crush him, she'd said it now there was now turning back. "Okay, it's true. But it doesn't mean anything!" She said fiercely.

He put his hands up in protest. "Hey, calm down, I didn't say it did." But secretly he was pleased, she had told him something about her, yes it was a minor thing but it wasn't insignificant. He definitely didn't want to push her for any more. Looking at her now, he felt excited, happy and nauseas all at the same time. He didn't know whether he was developing a crush on her or whether it was just the circumstances.

He opened the pizza box and looked expectantly at her. "You want a piece?" He asked.

"Sure." She smiled.

Sarah Lisa Walker. Chuck said to himself over and over again, he couldn't believe she had actually told him. He was over the moon, he couldn't stop himself from smiling from ear to ear. He sat further back on the bed and crossed his legs, he slowly put the pizza into his mouth as Sarah did the same. As she chewed, he nearly chocked. She made it look so, so.. Well, sexy.

He squirmed uncomfortably as she finally finished the slice, but then she licked her fingers and that was even worse.

"Sarah, is it weird, me being here?" Chuck asked.

"What do you mean?" Sarah quizzed.

"Well you know, technically you're my handler and like, right now we're hanging out and we're not working or anything." Chuck babbled, his face growing more worried by the second. "Wait, do they have cameras in here?"

"Chuck, calm down, it's fine. It's not like we're getting it on or anything!" Sarah said defensively. "And no, they don't have cameras here.

"But I don't do this sort of thing with Casey." He said.

"I know, but Casey's not the type of person to do things like that with." She reasoned.

"So does that mean I can tell him about this then, he does get really suspicious."

"No! He'll think something's going on, which it clearly isn't. You're the asset and I'm the handler, that's it."

"I know." Chuck sighed. Maybe he should just accept the truth. He kept wondering if there was a meaning behind the things she said, but maybe he read into it to much. Why was he even thinking about this, she was practically letting him down gently. In her own way she was telling him it was never going to happen. Let what happen? I don't even have a crush on her! He argued in his mind, he was driving himself insane.

They finished off almost all of the pizza and laid back on the bed. Sarah felt warm inside again, maybe the pizza hasn't cooled down yet. She rubbed her stomach lightly.

"Are you okay?" Chuck asked, noticing her rubbing her stomach.

"I'm fine, just a bit full." But she actually felt strangely empty even though she had consumed half a pizza. Sarah switched on the plasma screen TV that hung above her bed. She was glad that she didn't have to pay for this hotel, being in the CIA had its' perks. She slotted some scary movie into the DVD player, one of which she couldn't remember the name of. She looked at Chuck, who was looking rather sleepy.

"Do you want me to go?" He mumbled sleepily.

"No, no, stay for the movie." She asked, trying to keep her voice normal and not desperate. For some reason she really, really wanted him to stay, she felt like if he were to leave, she would really miss him. They were becoming fast friends, she knew that. Was it really so bad for a lonely spy to have one little friend? Did all spies have to be fierce and strong and independent? She was all of those things, but she also enjoyed Chuck's company.

They laid down together, Chuck on one side of the bed and her on the other. He put his hands behind his head and sighed contentedly. He was sure he had seen this film before, it was either called The Grudge or The Ring or something like that.

There was a teenage girl on the screen, though a teenage girl was rather an understatement. She had black hair that covered half her face, deathly pale skin and red bloodshot eyes. Chuck didn't want to admit it but he was a little scared. The girl drew out a knife and put up her hood to shield her face from the outside rain. With that she disappeared from sight.

Inside the house in the film, an innocent woman and her husband sat peacefully in their living room, watching their TV, the wife wrapped her arm around her partner and held him close. Suddenly all the lights went off for a moment and then flicked back on, the woman looked relived but then the girl appeared-

"Ahhh!" Chuck jumped a million miles upwards.

Sarah paused the film and turned to him with a slight smirk etched onto her face. "Did you just jump?"

He lowered his eyebrows and folder his arms. "Pfft. No, I had an itch.."

"Yeah, yeah, you were scared weren't you?" Sarah laughed.

"Fine, alright. I'm not good with films like this, they make me jump. I know I'm meant to be an man and everything but it still scares me." Chuck admitted.

"It's okay. Look, come a bit closer, I'll make sure you don't jump." Sarah said, as Chuck moved over an inch or two.

"I won't bite." She laughed, surprised at her own forwardness, it wasn't like her at all.

He laid down nearer to her and Sarah pressed play and the film resumed. An hour later, they were still in the same position and the screen darkened and the credits rolled. Chuck had managed a whole hour without jumping again.

He turned to her, he was almost underneath her armpit. She gazed back through the darkness, her eyes shining and lighting up the room. He felt his heart hammering beneath his T-shirt, he sat up so that his head was closer to her.

She studied his eyes and felt a magical jolt shoot up the back of her neck. She couldn't take this, she definitely wasn't ill, this was something to do with Chuck. Suspiciously, she moved closer to him and felt her heart speed up and her stomach filling with butterflies. That was strange.

What if she were to put her lips on his, what would she feel then? She felt as if there was a magnetic force drawing her lips to his, she just couldn't control it. She had never felt like this before, this feeling was new to her.

Suddenly Chuck came back to reality.

"I've got to go." He said awkwardly, shooting upwards.

"See you." She smiled equally as awkward.

"I'll call you about our double date with Ellie and Awesome." She said.

"Alright." He replied, racing out the door.

He didn't stop until he got to his car. He couldn't run away from the emotions that overtook him. Okay, he admitted it, he 'liked' her, but that didn't mean anything. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight with this revelation, with a sigh he put his key In the ignition and drove into the night.

When he got into his bedroom he got his Traun poster down and turned it around to reveal the names of all the spies he had come to know and all the other people he had met along the way. Above Sarah's name he drew an arrow and writ 'Lisa' between her first and last name. He was so happy that she had told him, even if he wasn't meant to hear. He wondered what Sarah was thinking right now.

Sarah laid back on her bed with her blood pumping warmly around her body. She wanted to escape into dreamland, where hopefully these feelings wouldn't follow her.
