Disclaimer: I do not own Chuck.
A/N Thank you for all the reviews, I never thought I would ever get over 200. But now that I have I am hungry for more…. Can we make 250?
For those interested I posted the first part of the M version of 'After the Fireworks' I should have the final chapter in that story up in the next three days.
Chapter 18 – Time For Skiing
They all got out on the slopes for a couple of quick runs, as Sarah had assumed Chuck was a very capable skier. But what surprised her was how good both Casey and Alex were.
They had all arrived at the bottom of the mountain after the first run.
"You guys really know how to ski, and it's like you have some psychic connection. You know when the other is likely to change direction" said Sarah.
"Yeah Skiing has probably become one of our few father daughter activities. We really get out on the snow as much as possible, I was a little nervous about letting her go backcountry but it was too good an opportunity to pass up" said Casey.
"Dad's just a little over protective of me, just wait till he sees someone trying to hit on me" said Alex.
Sarah was sure she could hear a growl coming from Casey direction, and Chuck was just laughing.
"Trust me it's no laughing matter if you are the guy" said Alex.
They were all lined up back at the chair lift waiting in groups of two.
"So Chuck how are you feeling?" asked Sarah.
"Good, actually I feel pretty good. Getting out here with only worrying about what path I am taking down the mountain is liberating. By the way I know it probably wasn't assumed when we first booked this and then with the events of the last few days, well I just wanted to let you know I changed our arrangements to be sharing the one room. I hope that is ok? "said Chuck.
"Chuck, no that's not ok, it's perfect. I don't expect anything this week Chuck, you know that right? But If I get to spend the whole week able to hold you at night it will make the week perfect." said Sarah smiling.
"What, now you have tasted the fruit from the Bartowski tree you are ready to move on?" asked Chuck.
"Don't you dare put words in my mouth mister; you know that is not the case. The way you can make me feel, no other man comes close, I am a one fruit women so you will have to deal with it. But I can wait until you are ready, because I know it is worth the wait." said Sarah.
They got on the chair lift and the chair started its journey to the top, They gave each other a kiss promising more. Sarah then rested her head on Chucks shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer.
"Chuck, I need to thank you for helping me find myself again" said Sarah.
"What do you mean?" asked Chuck.
"When I left Burbank I started losing myself, I worked for a short time with Bryce then for the remainder with Carina. But I kind of disappeared; I am not the same without you, I do not like the person I am without you, I can't even call it living. I guess I existed but it wasn't until I came back and more specifically after the fireworks evening, that I felt comfortable being myself again. I hadn't been trusting my intuition. That was what told me something was wrong and that I thought you may have been in trouble the other night. It was my senses that told me I had to do something" said Sarah.
"Sarah, I am not sure if I ever really thanked you for saving me. Thank you, I love you and I know that there is no other person in the world for me then you. We will get through this and we will be stronger" said Chuck.
"Chuck, I am not sure if I saved you, I think I was a bit late for that. I wish I could have moved a little quicker though or reacted a little faster. But you are right, we will get through it and we will be stronger." said Sarah.
"Sarah, I really don't want to talk anymore about it, but none of what happened was your fault and I will be eternally grateful that you came for me when you did." said Chuck.
"Ok, let's talk about how we can embarrass John in front of his daughter" said Sarah.
They got up to the top of the mountain and exited the chair and waited for Casey and Alex.
Alex took out a camera out of her backpack and asked a man to take a photo of the four of them. The man looked like he was standing to take the photo but quickly disappeared down the run attempting to flee after stealing the camera.
Chuck reacted first, closely followed by Sarah with Casey close behind. The man was weaving in amongst the trees trying to lose them. Sarah could see that Chuck was closing in on the man but Sarah's gap to Chuck was getting larger. Casey was staying close behind her but Alex wasn't in sight.
On the top of the mountain it had taken Alex a good minute to realize that there was no point waiting for them to come back. She was still a little shaken and decided the best thing to do would be to ski down to the bottom and meet the others at the entry to the chair lift, and hope that they were able to get the camera back.
What amazed Alex was the speed in which all three reacted to the taking of the camera, she had a little smile when she thought about that taking something from her group would probably have to be the worst mistake they could make. Having three ex spy's on your tail one of them being the famous Sarah Walker, and if you believed her father she could just about walk on water, was the stuff nightmares were made of.
Sarah was watching the duel take shape in front of her, Chuck was now only a few meters away from the man and because of that he was becoming more erratic changing direction more often trying to lose him. This gave Sarah and Casey the opportunity to close in. Chuck had realized that the thief had put the camera in his backpack and had an Idea. When he saw Sarah closing in on the other side he could tell that she had the same idea. Casey could only watch as they both worked together one on either side to push the man straight into the padded pylon of a chairlift.
The man was out cold, Chuck pulled out his phone and called for a Ski Patrol skidoo to come and pick up the thief. He had seen better days and was knocked out cold. Casey checked the backpack and found several cameras and wallets, obviously lifted from unsuspected skiers from around the mountain.
Alex had arrived down the bottom of the mountain and the witnessed the commotion of several skidoos making there way up the mountain. She took out her phone to give her dad a call.
"Dad, what happened you ok?" asked Alex.
"Yeah we are all good; Chuck and Sarah did a good job getting the thief to ski right into a pylon and knocked him out. Your camera was in his backpack and is fine. We just called for a skidoo to take him down the mountain, looks like we weren't his first mark for the day though, based on what we found on him. So where are you?" said Casey.
"I am just down waiting at the chair lift at the bottom of the mountain, so how did they get him to ski into a pylon" asked Alex.
"Team work, it was beautiful to watch." said Casey.
Back at the pylon the Ski Patrol were asking all sorts of questions and finally let them leave.
"Chuck, good teamwork" said Sarah.
"Excellent team work from Team Aegis" said Chuck.
Both Chuck and Sarah gave each other a hug and smile. The three of them set off to get to Alex at the bottom of the mountain.
By the time they finally got down the bottom and joined Alex, it was time for dinner, they went into the restaurant and were shown to the table.
They were talking about the events of today with Casey using items off the table to explain how Chuck and Sarah were able to force the thief into the Pylon. Sarah started explaining some of the maneuvers Chuck pulled off to catch the thief.
"Well anyway Chuck and Sarah, thank you for saving my camera it was very much appreciated" said Alex.
The waitress finally came over to take the order, she had taken down the order and hesitated before leaving.
"Did I hear right, you were the people that caught the thief?" asked the waitress.
"Oh caught isn't the term we would use, stopped probably is more accurate" replied Chuck.
"Well everyone is talking about it" she said.
"Well it was a team effort" said Chuck.
"Well lucky we weren't talking about anything sensitive" said Sarah.
"What like your nipples?" said Casey.
Alex just stared at him
"What?" John said.
"Ok, what do you think mom would say if she knew you were talking about another woman's nipples?" asked Alex.
"Ok sorry, it will not happen again" said Casey.
"What I want to know is how does John know you have sensitive nipples?" asked Chuck and everyone just stared at one another and laughed.
The first course arrived and everyone started eating when a couple that were probably mid to late 20's came over to the table.
"Hi, my name is Nick ..um I heard that you all were responsible for catching the thief this afternoon that stole our video camera" the man said nervously.
"Wow, news travels fast, yeah what about it" said Casey.
"Well I wanted to offer you a reward, um because it has saved us from a rather embarrassing situation" said the man obviously struggling. The girl that was with him was having difficulties looking at them in the eye.
"Oh, no look we don't need a reward, we are just happy we could help you avoid an embarrassing situation" said Chuck.
From the looks that Sarah, Chuck and Alex were giving each other the three of them new exactly what the embarrassing situation was. From the look on Casey's face he didn't have a clue and didn't care either.
"Well, my father is rather wealthy and I would like to offer you something in appreciation" said Nick
"Nick, we aren't doing too bad ourselves. If you want to repay us, after dinner sit down and have a drink with us" said Chuck.
"Ok" said Nick.
Dinner went quickly and Nick and his girlfriend Kate came back over and sat down.
"This is Sarah, Alex, John and my names Chuck" said Chuck.
"My names Nick and this is Kate" said Nick
"So how long are you staying here for" asked Nick.
"Tonight we head out to camp, tomorrow we start five days of Heli-Skiing" said Sarah smiling.
"Wow, you must all be thrill seekers, adrenaline junkies or something" said Nick
"Yeah something" said Casey.
"So Nick, Kate what kind of work are you in?" asked Alex.
"I'm a junior Associate at a Law firm" said Nick
"I'm a first year medical resident" said Kate.
"You all work together or just friends?" asked Nick.
"We all work together, but we are also friends in fact, I would call us more family then friends" said Chuck.
Sarah looked at Chuck and smiled.
"So a family business what kind of work do you do?" asked Kate.
"Sarah is more regulatory and governance, John is operations and Alex is psychology while I'm just IT" said Chuck.
"Chuck, has anyone ever told you, you look like Charles Bartowski" said Kate.
"Yeah, maybe a couple of times," said Chuck.
"Yeah, you do I was wondering who you reminded me off. You know you could maybe get a job as his double" said Nick.
Alex couldn't keep it in any longer and started snickering, she had been holding it in but it was just about to come crashing down. Sarah and Chuck just looked at her and Casey just grunted.
Alex burst out laughing.
"What's up with Alex?" asked Nick.
"I guess she just finds it funny that you think I look like Charles Bartowski" said Chuck straight faced.
Sarah and Casey were now struggling to keep it in.
"Yeah I guess, but that guy is some super sexy beast. I would really like to get my hands on him, don't you agree Sarah and Alex?" asked Kate.
Kate looked at Alex and could only see what looked like an embarrassed and uncomfortable look and Sarah seemed steaming angry.
"Hey, if I said something wrong I'm sorry. You know if you have the free pass for one celebrity, well he would be mine" said Kate.
"Oh god this is getting interesting" said Casey.
"What haven't you heard of that rule?" said Nick.
"Kate, trust me there is nothing special about Charles Bartowski" said Chuck.
"Got to disagree there Chuck, I saw a picture of him coming out of the surf just wearing speedos. Definitely something special going on there" said Kate with a big smile.
"Enough of this, hey Chuck who would be your free pass" asked Nick.
"Wouldn't need one Nick" replied Chuck.
"Well no, I guess it is not about need if you know what I mean" said Nick.
"So who is your free pass Nick?" asked Sarah.
"Kristin Kreuk, just something about those eurasian features" said Nick.
"He just has to watch any Smallville reruns that she is on" said Kate with her eyes rolling.
"This is just getting too weird" said Casey.
"So what's wrong with Kristin Kreuk John?" asked Nick defensively.
"Yeah, you saying there is something wrong with a guy finding her attractive John?" asked Chuck.
"Shit, is Ashton Kutcher gonna stick his head out soon or what?" said Casey.
"So John are you telling me if Kristin Kreuk came up to this table, you wouldn't be at all interested?" said Nick
"Nick, I can tell you without a doubt. That if Kristin Kreuk came up to this table it wouldn't be me she would have eyes for" said Casey.
Sarah could only roll her eyes
"No need to get all negative John, we can't all be the specimen like myself here" said Nick.
"Not you either kid" said Casey looking at Nick.
"I think that is enough talk about Kristin Kreuk" said Chuck.
"So Sarah have you seen pictures of Charles Bartowski without a shirt on?" asked Kate.
"No not pictures" said Sarah.
"You seen video, where?" said Kate excitedly.
"Kate, I guarantee if I knew of any photos or videos of Charles Bartowski either naked or half naked I would keep them to myself" said Sarah.
"Oh so you agree with me, he would be your free pass" said Kate.
"Alex what do you think?" asked Kate
"Leave me out of this, I am just a spectator" said Alex.
"I agree that yes I find him as sexy as hell and there is nothing more that I would want then to be wrapped around him, but I don't think I would need a free pass would I Chuck?" said Sarah.
"Ah no, not really Sarah, it would kind of be weird if I said you could have a free pass to make wild loud monkey sex with Charles Bartowski" said Chuck.
"So Kate if you saw Charles Bartowski naked from the neck down, do you think you could identify him?" asked Sarah.
A loud groan could be heard from Chuck.
"Well maybe, but then maybe not. Some other guys might have a similar body but it's the whole package. Like I think Chuck here is pretty cute, but if I saw him naked I could point out the differences" said Kate.
"This is sounding like a good practical exercise" said Casey.
"Well before we go too far down a one way street I think it is time to bid farewell" said Chuck.
Chuck called for the bill; he put a credit card with it and left a considerable tip. And the four of them left Nick and Kate by themselves.
A couple of minutes had passed and Nick decided he should fix up his bill as well.
"I am sorry but your bill has already been paid, Mr Bartowski paid for your account as well as his own" said the waitress.
"Mr Bartowski?" said Nick.
The waitress just smiled, "didn't you know who you were drinking with?" she said.
Nick went back to the table 'Holy Shit'.
Kate could see something was wrong, "Don't tell me the four of them stiffed their bill and we have to pay for the lot" said Kate
"No, they paid for ours too, the waitress said Mr Bartowski paid for our account, including dinner" said Nick.
"What, what do you mean?" asked Kate.
"Kate, did you know that Chuck is short for Charles?" said Nick.
"You mean the whole time I was talking about Charles Bartowski he was sitting right in front of us." said Kate.
"Yep, they must think we are real idiots" said Nick.
Chuck, Sarah, Casey and Alex were making their way to the Heli Pad.
"Come on Sarah she would not have been talking that way if she knew I was there." said Chuck.
"I am sorry Chuck but you know that I can get jealous" said Sarah.
"Not wanting to blow my own horn but if you are going to be with me you probably are going to have to get used to it. In fact it feels a little liberating" said Chuck.
"I don't believe it, you like all these woman throwing themselves at you?" Sarah said angrily.
"No Sarah you misunderstood, what I like is you being jealous of the attention I get. That used to be me, all the guys used to stare at you when we went on one of our cover dates. Accept you at least know how I feel about you, I never had that benefit" said Chuck.
Sarah was annoyed, because she realized she was creating further problems for her and Chuck. She knew it must have been difficult for Chuck before, but now the shoes on the other foot and she is blaming Chuck.
"I'm sorry Chuck, I don't think I can stop myself being jealous. But I will try real hard to not take it out on you. Do you forgive me?" asked Sarah.
"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said anything about not knowing how you felt, I will forgive you if you forgive me, and I will try not to bring up the past like that again" said Chuck.
"Chuck, if you want to bring up the past to make a point please do. I know those times were difficult for you, and I fell in love with you then. If it helps to bring up the past so we can move on, and then do it. Chuck it helps me to remember all of the things I have done wrong in the last 5 years, it helps me make sure I don't do it again. I will never let you wonder what my true feelings are ever again" said Sarah.
Sarah rested her head on Chuck's shoulder and her arm through his.
"This is nice, two weeks ago this ever happening felt like a fantasy" said Sarah.
"Sarah, this last week minus one evening is the happiest I have been in a long long time. In fact Tuesday night was definitely the happiest I have ever been" said Chuck.
"Chuck, me too. Tuesday night, all night and all morning" said Sarah.
"Ok, Ok single person over here, can we tone down the sexual innuendo a tad" said Alex.
"Wow, she definitely is John's daughter" said Sarah.
Sarah and Chuck came out of their embrace, and Chuck went over to talk to Alex.
"Alex, so any questions about the offer?" asked Chuck.
"Um, yeah I do" said Alex.
"Good, well let them rip?"
"Well at the moment I am pretty busy with the FBI work, I know the case I was most recently on is almost closed, but there is always another one around the corner. So I guess I am worried how I will be able to handle both jobs" said Alex.
"Sorry, Alex I guess I didn't explain. While I am happy for you to take the occasional FBI case, I guess I would see that you would develop a team to work under you. They would take lead on different cases. Remember you are really only working with the FBI at the moment, I see your department working with all agencies" said Chuck.
"Well ok, but it's not like I can go out and hire the best forensic psychologists and profilers in the country? It will not be easy finding good people" said Alex.
"Why can't we hire the best" asked Chuck seriously.
Alex was looking a little intimidated.
"Alex, look I wouldn't be suggesting this if I didn't think you were ready. I can also see that you may struggle in the beginning, but only because of a lack of self belief. Everyone here this weekend will help you, so you can develop that self belief in yourself that we already have in you" said Chuck.
"Chuck, wouldn't it be better to hire someone more experienced?" said Alex.
"Alex, I have only been running the company for 3 years. Do you think it would be in a better position if someone more experienced was doing that from the beginning?" asked Chuck
"Of course not, but you are Charles Bartowski and I'm just me" said Alex.
"Alex that is all I want from you because you can do it. So back to the hiring, why can't we get who we want?" asked Chuck.
"Ok, well put it this way, back when you started Aegis could you get the best in a field to come work for you" asked Alex.
Chuck thought about that or a few seconds.
"Alex, but you are not trying to get someone to come and work for you. You are getting someone to work for us. If you come up with a choice of three must haves. We can fly them here and we, you and I will take them to lunch or dinner and put them up at the hotel and fly them back the next day. We can even do that on a weekend if it fits in with them. Alex the full resources of one of the most successful companies are behind you" said Chuck.
"I wouldn't even know what kind of package they would be after" said Alex.
"Alex, what company do you work for?" asked Chuck.
"Aegis" said Alex getting frustrated.
"Yes more specifically The Intelligence Services Division of Aegis, that also happens to be the largest source of domestic intelligence in the world. I am sure we could find someone to help you work that out. Just let me know if you have any more questions, oh and once you have decided we can sit down to work out the problems with your current salary package" said Chuck.
"Chuck I am not sure I follow, what problems? Is there something I can do to fix?" said Alex concerned.
"Well the only problem I am aware of, is that you aren't paid enough, but if there is another problem we can discuss that too" said Chuck.
Alex face went a little red
"Is Chuck annoying you Alex, if he is I will get Sarah to beat him up, he would never hit a woman?" said Casey.
The helicopter finally got there to pick them up and the pilot was a little annoyed and showed it, he also made it obvious he was checking out Sarah.
Sarah could tell that Chuck was uncomfortable with the looks he kept giving her and could see the anger in his eye. She was happy he still got jealous of another mans attention, though she would not admit that to Chuck.
They finally arrived at the camp they will be staying at. They all disembarked and were met by Bob.
"Hi Bob, we all set?" asked Sarah.
"Yeah all clear" replied Bob.
Bob took Chuck aside.
"Charles I called Samantha to verify but you requested the one room for both Sarah and yourself?" asked Bob.
"Yeah, everything is fine with that" said Chuck.
"All sweeps have been completed we are all clean. I also setup the satellite dish on the roof fitted with the de-icer, even though it was agreed previously the owners were still a little annoyed by it" said Bob.
"We have some movement on Daniel Shaw as well, the surveillance on him was tasked through the Intersect as you requested, we got some hits on some people and places he has visited. No high value targets, but the likelihood that he is involved in something has increased" said Bob.
"Ok keep surveillance on him, remember this is only a passive engagement. Also can you please arrange for further surveillance on his wife?" asked Chuck.
"Very good Charles" said Bob.
Everyone made sure all the belongings were in the rooms and then Chuck asked that they meet for a quick drink down in the bar.
They were all sitting at a table each nursing a drink when Chuck started.
"As Sarah already knows, I had some concerns over a CIA Agent that was interviewing for a position with Aegis, his name is Daniel Shaw. What do you know of him John?" asked Chuck.
"He said he wanted a break from the politics of the Agency and was looking for a fresh start. I did some background checks on him both in the intersect and through agency contacts and seemed to be clean. Had some problems recently but he was known to be driven and hungry" said Casey.
"I'm probably a third wheel here, I might just go to my room" said Alex
"Alex, I would like it if you could stay, as I have a related request for you" said Chuck
"Um, ok. Just kind of felt I shouldn't be listening" said Alex
"No please do" said Chuck.
"What tweaked your concerns?" asked Casey.
"I can't put it exactly into words, something about him felt off. Then I got the feeling that he abused his wife and only strengthened my concerns" said Chuck.
"His wife is another CIA agent isn't she?" asked Casey.
"Yes she is" said Chuck.
"Anyway, I have had him under surveillance the last week and he has been to some interesting places with some interesting people. Nothing concrete but his threat rating has been increased" said Chuck.
Both Sarah and Casey were just nodding their heads in understanding.
"Alex, what I would like from you is just a quick read of his file and some things we have got from surveillance and would like you to maybe give us your view of him. We still have him under surveillance so no rush at the moment, I would like to have something by the time we get back to LA though" said Chuck.
"So is this the kind of work you were discussing?" asked Alex.
"Well I have taken a bit of an interest in this case, but the ISD will be coming under more pressure in the next 6 months. Agencies will try to discredit us, so we need to be careful about anyone we bring into the ISD" said Chuck.
"So what do you think he is up to Chuck?" asked Sarah.
"I can't be sure, but I think he wants out of the Agency, I don't believe he will come to us. He may have originally, but with what I did to him he will not want to work for me. I think he is likely to join some rogue or disenfranchised arm of the intelligence service. I think he will go to whoever panders to his ego" said Chuck.
"Alex, while you are profiling Daniel Shaw I might get you to also profile his wife. While I do not believe she is involved or capable of betraying her country she maybe our way to get to him" said Chuck.
"Does anyone else have any questions or suggestions?" asked Chuck.
Everyone shook their heads no.
"Well then I guess it's time to hit the pillow, big day tomorrow, a big fluffy powdery day" said Chuck.
Chuck and Sarah headed off to their room and Casey and Alex headed off separately.
Chuck and Sarah got to their room; Chuck went into the bathroom to change into a pair of boxers. When he came back out he found Sarah completely naked, looking at items of her clothing.
Chuck quickly looked away.
"Chuck tell me what you want me to wear, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" said Sarah.
"Anything is fine Sarah" replied Chuck.
"You haven't even looked at what the options are" said Sarah.
He looked up and saw a small baby doll set in red.
"Yeah that one is good" said Chuck.
"No I can't wear that one its red, how about this one" said Sarah.
Chuck looked up again and saw a white lace teddy that was completely see through. Chuck could see straight through it and see Sarah in all her glory.
"I am not sure what was wrong with the Red one, but that looks completely see through you may as well wear nothing" said Chuck.
Chuck was experiencing some movement in his boxers and was pretty sure if this went on for much longer the boxers would be pointless as the only thing they could be hiding would have busted out.
"Oh ok" said Sarah, she dropped the lace teddy and climbed under the covers.
"Um what are you doing Sarah?" asked Chuck.
"You said I may as well wear nothing so" said Sarah shrugging.
"Um I meant the white one was like wearing nothing, what about the red one?" asked Chuck.
"I can't wear the red one, not even sure why I brought it. I can hop back out and go through the bag and find some others" said Sarah.
Chuck was thinking about having to watch Sarah look through her bag while she is naked again.
"No don't worry" he said and he hopped into bed too.
Chuck turned the bed side light out and Sarah moved over beside Chuck, put her head on his shoulder and put her arm along his chest. Sarah also made sure to position one of her nipples to be touching his side.
After about a minute she lifted her leg up and placed it across his hip and over his crotch, Sarah could still feel his obvious arousal.
"Sarah, you are not making it easy on me" said Chuck.
"What baby, I know you are not ready. I am ok just let me know when you are ready and I will be here waiting." said Sarah.
"Sarah, it's not that I don't want to, I think if we did something like before I would be in pain and I don't want to remember our time like that" said Chuck.
"Well ok, how about you let me kiss the boo boo and make it better" said Sarah.
Sarah could tell by the increased pressure under her thigh that things were looking up.
"Well baby I got my answer, I promise I will take it slow and if it hurts just ask me to stop" said Sarah with a devilish smile.
Sarah disappeared under the sheet, Sarah released him from his boxers and Chuck felt himself get engulfed by warmth and Sarah continued to take him to heaven. All memories of Star were gone and he was in his own white fluffy heaven.
They woke up in each other's arms the next morning , Chuck couldn't believe how lucky he was. He had the most beautiful woman he had ever known in his arms naked in bed wit him. After last night Chuck knew that he would need to do something to make it up to her.
Sarah had gone to the bathroom and Chuck grabbed his guitar out of its case, he hoped it hadn't gone out of tune too much in transit, his started softly plucking and Sarah came out of the bathroom still completely naked.
Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy
Sarah couldn't believe it her eyes went wide, then the biggest smile Chuck had ever seen graced her face.
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Chuck let out a growl and Sarah just started laughing, but she quickly stopped because she wanted to hear Chucks voice he really did have a good voice.
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight
'I will be yours every night lover' Sarah thought
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see
Is she walking back to me
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman.
"Yes I came back and now your never getting rid of me" said Sarah with a big smile and moving up to kiss him with such passion Chuck started becoming light headed and nearly passed out. But he didn't complain he loved that pretty woman and if he died while she was kissing him he would die happy.
"Chuck you have such a beautiful voice, I am sure you have no idea how turned on I get just listening to you" said Sarah.
"Let's have a shower" said Chuck.
Sarah's face once again sporting the big grin and she went running into the bathroom like a child on Christmas morning running to see what Santa had left.
After the 'long' shower they came down for breakfast and found Casey and Alex already sitting down, Chuck and Sarah approached the table.
"So you guys are up?" said Chuck.
"Yeah someone had some music on, Dad reckons it was someone playing a guitar and singing but I don't think anyone up here has a voice that good, did you guys hear it?" asked Alex.
"Ah no" said Sarah her voice was a little strange.
Casey noticed her face.
"Ah bloody hell, it was Chuck wasn't it?" said Casey.
Sarah just shrugged and gave an innocent smile.
"What happened to put him in such a good mood,…. oh I see" said Casey realizing but best not to put it into words.
"Well let's just say we may start our own band, Chuck had strings and vocals this morning I had the Brass section covered last night "said Sarah with a straight face.
This time it was Chuck and Alex's face that went red.
"Sarah, you don't have to bring your expertise with the French Horn to the breakfast table besides my daughter is right here." said Casey.
Alex was busy clearing her throat.
"So Chuck, you have a really good voice, you also play the guitar well too" said Alex.
"Thanks, I have even been known to entertain the President." Chuck said with a wink.
Alex clearly wasn't aware of what that meant and was giving her father and Sarah strange looks.
"Alex, The president and Chuck are friends and yes he has played for them just like he might play for us if we are lucky".
"John, maybe you and I can do a duet?" Chuck said winking.
"Dad sing?" said Alex.
"Didn't you know your father was a choir boy?" said Chuck.
Alex just looked at Casey and Casey looked at Chuck and growled.
Sarah laughed and said "It's true Alex, he can really hit that High C".
After breakfast they went back to their rooms to get ready for today's fun in the Snow.
A/N Next Chapter we get out amongst the powder, please review…pretty please.
