I'm going to do two moments from this episode. When they were in the car boot and when they first kissed! YAY! I'm so excited to write this right now..
Chuck versus The Imported Hard Salami
(The car boot scene)
It was dark and neither of them could breathe. Chuck was pressed up right against Sarah, he didn't have time to savour the moment, he had to stand up for himself.
"Why did you come in? I had the entire situation under control." He said, not even fooling himself.
"Yeah, I could see that." Sarah replied sarcastically.
"So.. I assume you have a plan to get us out of this mess.." Chuck said angrily, but secretly hoping for the best.
"Right now Casey is tracking the GPS device in your watch, a SWAT team will be here any minute." She said, her voice calm and professional.
"Yeah.. About the watch.." He felt scared of her reaction now. He explained the situation slowly and tried to pull away from her as much as he could.
"..Lou was incriminating herself and I didn't want her getting into trouble." He said.
"Always the romantic, huh, Chuck?" She was close to his face, she ignored the convulsions shooting through her, surely she was still capable enough to win a damn argument?
"Jealous?" He shot back venomously.
"Do you really think the CIA is interested in a deli meat smuggler?" She was getting angrier now.
"Well, excuse me if I'm not Mr Perfect spy. We can't all be Bryce Larkin, now can we?"
Wait, what? "Who's jealous now?" Clearly it was her.
"Me? Jealous of you and Bryce? Never!" He protested dramatically.
"Said all you wanted to say?" She asked.
"More or less." He almost shrugged.
"Good, now shut up, your sucking up all the air!" She said harshly and turned around so that Chuck was pressed up against her back. She was too angry to appreciate how close they were, and how now she had an opportunity to say anything that she'd ever wanted to say, but of course she couldn't. She wondered if Chuck was scared, or if he was ever the optimistic and knew a way to get them out of this.
She was the super spy though, she couldn't get all emotional and womanlike, if she did she wouldn't be in a fit state for saving them both when they got there.
The air capacity was low, it was dark and Chuck couldn't even see his own had in front of him. Not that he could even lift his hand because he was so squished. He felt scared about what was going to happen to him, he prayed that Sarah could get them out of this, even though he was mad at her right now.
After what seemed like an eternity had passed, Chuck and Sarah had calmed down a bit. The car had stopped turning so it seemed like they were on a long, straight road. Chuck desperately needed to stretch, his legs were bent awkwardly and he was dying to move them. He had pins and needles all over, he hoped that he wouldn't need to go to the toilet at any point. As he felt his anger beginning to subside, he was left alone with just his thoughts.
He could see where Sarah was coming from, why she was angry at him. It seemed like he and Lou were over for good now, which was a shame because he had liked her. But now, Lou seemed a million miles away mentally, and probably literally too.
Suddenly, he was overcome with a deep want for Sarah. The woman who was lying next to him right now. He wanted to put his arms around her and kiss her and show her how sorry he was. He just wanted her, he didn't care what the consequences were.
"Chuck?" Sarah whispered.
Oh thank you, God. "Yeah?" He replied softly.
"I'm, uh, really sorry.. I didn't mean it." She turned back around so that they were nose to nose, she could feel his warm breath on her cheek and he began to speak.
"Don't be sorry, it's my fault. It's just when I like someone I get all crazy and overreact at everything." Crap, she probably took that the wrong way.
"Oh.." Sarah said softly. You like me?
"I mean you know, I liked Lou and I overreacted by putting my watch in something and messing everything up." That should clear things up. Chuck thought lightly.
Of course! He was talking about Lou. "Don't worry about it." She whispered, gazing deeply into his eyes, feeling herself tingle all over. He reached his hand up to her hair and stroked it, but then he registered the shock on her face through the darkness and lowered it back down.
She reached back down to his hand, held it and moved her thumb back and fourth so that she was stroking his palm. She didn't care what she was doing, all she was going to do was think about now. Think about Chuck, the man who she liked. Maybe some part of her even loved him a little. But she wasn't falling in love with him. Of course she wasn't, Sarah Walker didn't fall in love.
Part of her knew that she had let her guard down and let Chuck in completely, to see almost the real Sarah. And it felt good that someone knew her for what she really was, who she really was. She felt safe. And now she was holding hands with him, probably giving him the wrong idea, but she couldn't stop herself. It was almost inevitable that this was going to happen.
He edged closer to her and pulled his arm away from hers and put it on her waist instead and pulled her close. He had never felt so much for one person, never felt so many emotions at once. He felt love, lust, happiness, sadness and strangely, jealousy.
He didn't want to think about where this was going, all he knew was, he loved the feeling with her pressed up against his chest. He didn't want her to pull away. He wanted to stay like this forever.
"-For the cover.." Sarah mumbled with her head buried in his chest. "..Cold in here.. Needed to get warm." Chuck could hear her making excuses for doing this, but he didn't care. He had no idea whether they were going to die or not, so he just made the most of every moment.
Then, the car came to a halt and they sprang apart as the boot opened, and waited to greet their fate.
(The first kiss) (Yay)
"Help me out!" She panted, throwing him a metal crowbar. They sprinted towards the giant wooden box and fiddled with the sides of it. It fell open, crashing to the floor.
It revealed a long metal tank with digits on it. It looked like a bomb. They gazed at it for a moment, bewildered, then suddenly Sarah ran towards it.
"Okay, okay, intersect, flash! Show me how to do this!" Chuck pleaded with the computer embedded in his brain.
"Did you flash?" Sarah said, turning away from the bomb.
"No! Nothing!" He replied frantically. "Come on, come on baby, don't fail me now!" He clutched his head in desperation.
"Chuck, that's enough, run, I'm going to try and diffuse this." Sarah said dominantly. She would rather die a million times over than let Chuck stay here.
"No, I'm not leaving you here!" He argued as her heart dropped.
"Go! And that is an order." Do anything, Sarah, just make him leave, you can't let him get hurt.
"No!" He narrowed his eyes.
Sarah had no other choice, she stood up and pulled out her gun, with absolutely no intention of firing it. But she could certainly threaten him.
"Go!" She shouted.
"Oh, I see. So your going to shoot me to prevent me from blowing up? That's a great plan."
"Why are you so stubborn?" She just wanted him to go, just.. Please.
"Actually, I consider this a rare moment of courage, I don't know where it's coming from, I guess you just bring out the worst in me." Suddenly, they could die but they were spending their last moments fighting.
"And you in me." She said fiercely, boldly taking a step towards him. She looked into his eyes, terrified. They should have ran, it was too late now. The machine started beeping, the screen showing 10 seconds, 9..8,7..
"Well it was nice knowing ya." He said, his voice quivering slightly. 6..5...
4,3.. Chuck closed his eyes tight, but not even that could shield him from death. He sucked in a breath, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..
Sarah wasn't ready to die without crossing something off of her list. She grabbed the sides of his face and pressed her lips on his hurriedly. She let desire overcome her, everything she had wanted for the past few months swiftly crammed into one kiss.
He felt her lips on his, and couldn't quite believe it. Sarah was kissing him, it was hard and passionate and everything he had ever wanted. He wasn't going to let this opportunity slip, he gripped hold of her face pulled her closer, he felt her tongue slip into his mouth, warm, soft and overpowering. She held him tighter as he moved his hands to the small of her back.
She didn't want this to end. Suddenly he was like part of her, evolving from two people to one. She wasn't Sarah anymore, she wasn't whole person by herself, but when she was with Chuck the two half's fitted together perfectly. They were Charah. She held onto him for dear life, too afraid to let go. She didn't want to let go, she didn't want to face the consequences.
Chuck realised that they were alive. It wasn't a bomb at all, it was something else. He slowly pulled away from her and gazed deeply into her eyes, slowly pulling his lips away from hers. They were still holding onto one another, Sarah looked terrified.
Pulling away from each other, they glanced over at the 'bomb', the digits had gone all the way down to zero and nothing else had happened. Sarah needn't have kissed him so passionately and forcefully, she thought they were going to die and this was her last chance to do everything she wanted, including kissing Chuck. But now she would have to face the aftermath. This is why she often didn't give in to her temptations, it was excellent while she was doing the forbidden, it felt wonderful to give into temptation, but then afterwards she felt really bad and knew she would face guilty thoughts and regretful thinking for the rest of her days.
Why had she been so stupid? Yes, okay, she wanted Chuck, but it didn't mean she could have him.
The silence stretched between them. "Well the good news is, we're alive." Sarah smiled falsely. "And the bad news is, is that this is kind of an uncomfortable moment right now.." She trailed off awkwardly.
"It's completely comfortable of my end, just saying." Chuck said, as she looked into his eyes and her guilty feelings vanished, everything vanished, it was just her and him, together and no one else knew they were there. Yes, she was nuts, crazy, deluded even, but she was living for once.
Chuck felt woozy, he had to sit down, he took a step back and sat down on the cold, concrete floor. He soothed his aching head with the palm of his hand. He groaned slightly, feeling the impact of the past five minutes, he still felt the terror of dying, he still felt Sarah's lips on his. Somehow, he feared worst what would happen next more than dying. He didn't know why but he did.
Sarah finally came back to reality after the past few minutes of disappearing into oblivion, a blissful, wonderful oblivion. She was surprised that stars didn't start whizzing around them and the heavens opening and God himself singing the words halleluiah when they kissed. But now she was here again, in this dark, abandoned warehouse.
Then though, she glanced downwards and saw Chuck and her world became completely dishevelled again. She noticed him sitting on the floor and slowly moved downwards so that she was sitting beside him, neither spoke for a few minutes.
"Are you okay, Chuck?" Sarah whispered softly.
"If I'm honest, my head's a bit messed up. I mean.. you know.. It shocked me a bit, you kissing me." He admitted.
"You and me both, I didn't know it was coming. I thought we were going to die and.." She couldn't find anymore words. She tried explaining with her hands but she got more frustrated.
"I know, sort of heat of the moment thing, yeah?" He tried, he didn't understand why she was trying to justify it. She had kissed him and that was that. He'd never experienced anything so passionate and heated, he'd never felt the emotions that hit him when her lips met his. Sparks literally flew between them as they danced off into their own world, but now he was lost and confused and didn't know where they went from here.
Did she kiss me, because she likes me? Or did she just kiss me because mine were the most convenient lips around? I'll have to ask her someday when this awkward faze passes. Chuck thought to himself.
Sarah finally got the courage to look up at him, and suddenly she felt a new bout of emotions. She could feel the static in the air between them, there was a rush.. This time.. Not the same rush. She had an intense urge to throw him up against the wall and kiss him. Why the hell did she want to rip his clothes off?
His eyes knowingly looked down into hers and the emotions reflected one another. They both felt lost and confused. But one thing Sarah was certain was, she wasn't going to let this happen again. She wouldn't surrender herself to it, she was stronger than this.
"We'd better go.." She managed to choke out.
"Yeah." He mumbled. "I feel a bit woozy, could you help me up please?"
"Sure." She shrugged, pulling herself to her feet and holding both hands out to him. Impulsively, he wrapped his finger around hers and let her pull him up. When they were both on their feet, merely inches away from each other, they found that they couldn't leave. They didn't drop their hands, they stood staring at one another, bewildered by the feelings overtaking them.
"Sarah, I-" Chuck started, before being startled by her arms around him and pulling him down to her level. Before he knew it, her lips were on his again and it was better than before. Less frantic because they weren't about to die, but more passionate and tender. She pushed him up against the wall and ran her fingers through his hair, enjoying the feeling of his hands on her waist.
She then pulled away and mumbled that she was leaving. She ran out and disappeared from sight. Most probably to gather her scattered thoughts, Chuck assumed. She had just kissed him again, but he couldn't even see the image of her face in his head when she had come towards him to kiss him again, because his eyes had been closed.
He knew that she wouldn't kiss him again, she gave into temptation twice and now she would turn back into super spy Sarah. He wondered if Sarah was thinking everything that he was, did she feel the same? The passion in her kiss was enough to show him that she did, but nothing she did otherwise showed him that she was interested. Maybe she looked at everyone like that?
He knew something for certain though, he had to go and talk to Lou.
Dear Diary,
I kissed him. I kissed Chuck. Twice. Why? Because I couldn't handle myself anymore, he drives me insane, he makes me do things I've never done before. When I'm with him I feel like I love him, of course I don't but I enjoy the feeling of being with him.
I won't kiss him again, I hope he's not hoping for something more, because as much as I'd love to, in my line of work, I can't. I want to grab him and push him up against the wall and tare his clothes off of his body.
I didn't feel like that before, after that kiss.. Those kisses, I feel like I want something more now. I shouldn't have kissed him. Because not only have my feelings for him have deepened, but we have created a sexual tension, which I'm scared I won't be able to work around now.
What have I done? Great, and now I have to go see what's in that stupid tank thing.
Uh oh, Bryce is on his way, no matter how much I hate him. REVIEW please? Let me know how you feel, is my perception on their relationship not very good? Because I really don't have much experience in this area.
