Chuck vs the Bahamas chapter 5

"Chuck?" Sarah breathed out.

"Ok Sarah, you can take off the blindfold now. He helped her with the knot she had tied and when Sarah was freed from the blindfold she blinked twice and gasped.

"Chuck!" She exclaimed excitingly. There in front of her a bottlenose dolphin was bobbing in the water inches away from her. She smiled and looked in awe at the animal before it swam away.

"Chuck, you brought me to see dolphins?!" She said smiling brighter than Chuck had ever seen before.

"Yes, I figured it would be a nice surprise. But you're not only gonna see them. We're gonna swim with them as well." Chuck explained and got the wind knocked out of him as one very exited Sarah Walker threw herself at him. She slung her arms around his neck and squeezed as hard as she could without breaking any bones.

"Sarah… I… can 't… breath…" Chuck finally got out but he held her close nonetheless. Sarah eased up on her grip and leaned back to look at him.

"You are amazing." She said with a dreamlike look in her eyes. Chuck gave her a big smile and kissed her cheek.

"You deserve it." He said stroking her back, neither willing to let go just yet.

Suddenly they heard someone coming down the stairs. They turned and saw a brown haired woman with shorts and a blue t-shirt approaching them.

"Hey guys! Are you ready to hit the water soon? I think BJ is keen on meeting you in his element." She said coming closer.

"Hi, I'm Kate and I'll show you how to swim with the dolphins." The woman said and smiled as she reached her hand out to greet them. Sarah shook her hand and smiled back.

"I'm Sarah."

"And we've already met." Chuck said standing beside Sarah.

"Yes. Sarah , your boyfriend tells me that you love dolphins. Have you ever gone swimming with them before?" Kate asked gesturing for them to follow her up the stairs again.

"No, I haven't, but I've always dreamt of doing so." She said giving Chuck a curious look. Kate had gone inside a small house and was out of earshot when Sarah asked Chuck.

"I thought we were supposed to be married on this trip?"

"I know but when I called to book this I forgot about the Carmichaels and I couldn't just end the conversation with "by the way we are married and my name is not Bartowski but Carmichael"." Chuck sighed knowing that Sarah would scold him for this.

"You used your real name?! You have used Carmichael so many times, how could you forget?!" Sarah whispered angrily.

"I'm sorry, but this vacation is not a mission and it doesn't feel like one either so I messed up. But Kate is the only one I've talked to and I called Ben at the CIA so that he could check this place out before we got here." Chuck explained. Sarah knew that Ben, researcher for the CIA, always did a thorough job. She also knew that he was in the Bahamas as a part of the team that would assist them if Chuck should flash on something. Knowing Ben, he had probably gone down to check this place yesterday when Chuck had told him about his plans.

" You know that call I got yesterday and I said it was Morgan and that I had to take it in the bedroom? Well, that was Ben calling me to say that everything was ok and that he could see no danger in going down here today." Chuck explained crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Oh…" Sarah said a little shocked that Chuck had gone to all this trouble just so she could have one of her dreams fulfilled.

"Well, thank you for going through all that just to give me this." Sarah said looking down at her shoes.

"Sarah, you know I would do anything…" Chuck didn't get to finish that sentence as Kate reappeared and handed them each a wetsuit. But Sarah knew what Chuck had been about to say, and she felt her heart find another big place for him. He was slowly capturing it. If she could only tell him that. Maybe, someday. She thought as she took the wetsuit from Kate.

"Go put these on and meet me down by the water when you are finished. Women's changing room is over there and men's are over there." She said pointing to the left and right of her. Sarah and Chuck smiled at her and left to get changed.

As Sarah and Chuck walked down the stairs in their new outfit Chuck grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers. Sarah looked up at him and to his surprise she smiled lovingly at him.

"We're really gonna sell this boyfriend/girlfriend act aren't we?" She asked laughing slightly.

"I think we should." Chuck stated before he eyed her body up and down.

"That's a good outfit for you. Nice and tight!" He said giving her a wink. Sarah just looked at him and let go of his hand. Chuck felt the disappointment wash over him before he felt her hand give him a little smack on his butt.

"Well, it enhances your assets too you know…" She laughed at his surprised face and intertwined their fingers again.

"So are you guys ready to meet my friends?" Kate asked as they approached her. She was wearing the same kind of wetsuit as Sarah. It was cut short just above her knees and they could see that she had already been in the water as her brown hair was now wet. Kate was a beautiful woman, but for Chuck no one looked better in that suit than Sarah.

Suddenly there was a loud splash and two dolphins were coming towards them fast. They stopped just in front of the small pier and bobbed up and down making their dolphin noises. To Chuck it sounded like they were laughing and who could blame them; to them the humans must have looked ridicules in those outfits.

Sarah was still holding on to Chuck's hand and he could feel her trembling. Chuck looked at her and saw that it was not because she was nervous, it was pure excitement. He rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb and smiled at her when she looked at him. She was grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey BJ! Hey Molly! You want to say hello to our new friends here?" She asked the dolphins as she nodded her head. The dolphins did the same and the water splashed around them.

Kate turned to Chuck and Sarah.

"If you feel that you are ready you can sit down on the pier and put your feet in the water. The dolphins might come over and touch your feet with their noses but that is only to get a feel for you. They say that dolphins can sense the mood you are in. But I guarantee you that if you are sad you will walk out of her relaxed and in a different state of mind."

Sarah and Chuck sat down and dangled their feet in the water. Kate did the same and BJ immediately swam up to her and let her touch his nose. Molly on the other hand quickly found her way over to Sarah almost resting her nose on Sarah's leg.

"Oh, she found her favorite already! Don't worry Chuck I think that BJ is only gathering up some courage to go say hello. He is still young, but he is the most talented dolphin we have here. He learns new things every day."

"Ok, some ground rules before we go in the water. Yes, they are sweet. Yes, they are wise. But they are very strong animals! This is not to be taken lightly. They understand that you are big people, if you know what I mean. With children they are always gentle and know their boundaries. But with adults they have to take some time to figure out how much that person can take and how much they can mess around with you. And be aware, they LOVE to mess around!" Kate was smiling at them and finally BJ made his way over to Chuck. Chuck in turn reached out and touched his nose and with that he established a bond with the dolphin.

Kate eased herself down into the water and signaled for Chuck and Sarah to follow her. As they did the two dolphins swam around them careful not to come to close at first.
