The Puzzling Moment

Ch. 2 Confessions

Sara's Point of View:

Ow! Damn, those potatoes! Why did I agree to cook dinner for him? Oh, that's right I wanted to have time alone with him to tell and show him how I really feel. But, why was I going to such extremes when he probably just thought this was only a friendly gesture. Why was this so hard?! This all better be worth it in the end.

"Need help?"

"Oh, Nick, you startled me!" I replied.

"Sorry", he responded.

"No, just make yourself comfortable", I stated.

"Um, ok", Nick answered.

While Sara chopped the potatoes she realized Nick was staring at her. In response she smiled at him and blushed furiously.

I like the attention. But, is he just staring because I look funny, or is it because he really likes me. Why am I so confused?! Boy, do I love that smile of his, though.

-------------------------------------- One hour later -------------------------------------

As we were eating the meal I prepared I noticed we barely could think of any kind of small talk we could chat about.

Why was it so hard to talk to him?! It was so easy when we were with the rest of the gang. Then again Grissom mostly started the conversations anyways. But, it shouldn't be that hard, should it?

"This is really good, where did you learn to cook so well?" Nick said.

"My grandmother taught me some of her best recipes", I declared.

"Um, Sara, can I tell you something?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I have had some feelings about you for a while and I was wondering if maybe when you are not too busy if you would like to go out to dinner or go see a movie with me?" he asked hopefully.

Yes! He really does feel something for me!

"Yes, that would be wonderful!" I nearly shouted with joy.

Nick was so happy you would think he would jump up and down like a little kid that just got candy or cake. But, I didn't mind because I was trying to hold in my joy. Then he leaned in and kissed me. It felt so good that I didn't want him to stop, but just as quickly as he had kissed me he had retracted and went back to eating the meal I had made him.

He smiled and then I knew that was just the main course and soon dessert would be longer and more delicious. What an evening I was looking forward to.
