Chuck looks at Crystal and starts to wander why such a woman would want a boy like him. He is a boy when it comes to his exposure to women. He had the same feeling with Sarah. How could either of these women want him of all people. They were beautiful and obviously could get anyone they wanted.
Crystal seeing something happening in Chucks face. She is not sure what is happening, but is it that he does not want her? She is going to fast, after all it has been a few years since she has been able to even think about another man. Here was someone that she barely knows but feels like they have been friends for years. Sure he is not the best looking man she has ever dated, but he is sincere and gentle. He gives her the feeling that he would not hurt her, at least not knowingly.
Chuck: Crystal, don't get me wrong but I have a few things that I need to tell you. First one is that I think you are an amazing woman. All that you have been through with your relationship, which we have in common, but why are you interested in me? I really don't understand why and I don't want us to be doing this for the wrong reasons.
Crystal: Chuck, I know what you are thinking and I can assure you that I am not messing with your feelings. I know that you have been hurt in your recent relationship, as I was with my last one. I just felt that today was great and I feel like we have a special connection today. Something that has been missing for some time now.
Chuck: I guess it is like the the words from Green day. ( sings a bit of the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=int-EN0LDTw&feature=related )
Another turning point; A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist:Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test;And don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson; learned in time
It's something unpredictable;but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
Chuck: ( smiling a bit sheepishly ) I must say I also felt that way as well. I don't know why but you made me feel normal and inviting to talk to today. I really don't find it easy to talk to women, but you were different from the start. Course the pants thing was a bit embarrassing though. ( Crystal laughs )
Crystal: Wow, a singer too! Well, OK so I did think your expression was a bit funny. Most men would have taken that the wrong way, but you were a gentleman from the beginning. You were also honest with me and that is a RARE quality in men.
Chuck: Still that doesn't really explain why you are kissing me? I am a not rich, or good looking like Brad Pitt, so why me?
Crystal: Not everyone is, but he is not my type anyway. Don't get me wrong, it is not like I have fallen in love at first site. I think you have the qualities in a man that I want and need. I have not been with a man in some time either and I felt that we could feel each others needs. You know like friends with benefits, like on Oprah.
Chuck: Oprah? Lol, sorry I don't have that one on my Tivo sorry to say. ( smiling ) I have to be honest Crystal, I still love Sarah and I am not over her yet. It will take some time before I can recover from our relationship. I don't want you to get the wrong idea or that I mislead you by something that I may have done. ( looking down at the floor )
Sarah has been listening to them talk and give a sigh of relief. She still has a chance with Chuck. He still loves here and has even admitted it to this woman. ( Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9OGfBGOCpk&feature=related plays ) She is still worried as he is vulnerable and hurt. Casey give a grunt and startles Sarah as she had forgotten that he was even there.
Casey: Well Walker, seems like you still have a chance with the bobblehead after all. I am amazed that he has any pieces of his heart left! After the way you have been doing your Mexican hat dance all over it.
Sarah: Shut up Casey! You have no idea how hard I have tried not to hurt him!. Now be quite so I can hear them. ( Sarah's phone rings and it is Elle. She ignores it as she is not sure what to say to her )
Crystal puts her hand on Chucks face to make him look her straight into her eyes. She can see the hurt in his eyes and feels that he understands. She has felt the same way for a long time now. Crystal decides that he is worth being honest to about her intentions and interests.
Sarah and Casey are listening to the conversation. Casey can see that Sarah has a renewed hope in her eyes, but is very nervous on the direction that the conversation is headed.
Crystal: Chuck, look at me please. ( Chuck looks into her eyes ) Let me finish before you speak ok?
Chuck: OK, but let me just... ( Crystal puts a finger on his lips to quite him )
Crystal: I want you to know that I don't expect you to be in love with me. At least not yet. ( she smiles)
I have been hurting like you and well I feel like we are connected in that way. I don't just kiss anyone and well I felt that I could take comfort within your arms and you could mine as well. We are more like friends with benefits and I feel we can help each other get over our hurt.
Sometimes it takes the help of a good friend to get over the pain of a relationship gone bad. You have been sincere, honest and fun and I feel we have a bond and openness towards each other. I have told you things that I never thought that I would tell anyone. I feel you did the same by telling all of you problems to me. Am I wrong?
Chuck: I don't think you are wrong. I feel empty from my relationship and yet I am not sad when I am with you. I also feel there is a bond, but I am not experienced with women, if you know what I am trying to say.
Crystal: Well, you sure kiss like you have some experience! ( with a laugh ) I think we will have to see if the rest of you is as good as your kisses.
Chuck: I, well I, hum not sure what to say to that! ( he face is bright red now ) I need you to understand that I am a one woman man. I am not sure what to do at this point. This is very confusing to me.
Crystal: Chuck, at the moment you are no longer in a relationship, correct? If it doesn't work out then well, we will worry about it when that time comes. I think this Sarah is a fool and I plan on taking advantage of it as long as it lasts!
Like I said, I am not in love with you either Chuck, but I am also a woman. I feel that we both need comfort from each other and maybe we will get over our hurt together. We will never know unless we try. If your Sarah wants you back, then at least she will have to work for it. I for one don't want to pass up what may or may not be! Now where did we leave off. ( leans towards Chuck )
Chuck: Crystal, I don't know about this. I am also in a bit of pain here from my wound.
You can see the indecisiveness in his eyes. He is trying to find any excuse to not go any further, but her words ring true. He wants to find a way to get over Sarah and it is not like she is ugly, quite the opposite! As a matter of fact she is a sexy and seductive woman that needs the same comfort from someone. She as been honest and very up front with him and is not out to just use them. Ok well not use in a dishonest bad way.
They are already friends in the space of a few hours and she is very up front about why she wants to be with him. Maybe they are meant for each other, but he thought that about Sarah too. The big difference is that Sarah will not commit to a relationship and Crystal is willing to put herself on the line and trust that he will not hurt her. Chuck is thinking what do I have to lose, because I sure don't have Sarah and never will. She will never commit to a real relationship as long as he is the intersect.
Crystal: Don't worry Chuck, I don't bit. Well I do bit but not that hard. We will just have to see how much it effects you. ( smiling but waiting to see how Chuck reacts now )
Crystal reaches over and gently helps Chuck remove his shirt. ( song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Q4lSsctoA&NR=1 playing by Damn Yankees ) She pulls his face close to hers and she starts with slow gentle kisses. Chuck closes his eyes and feels the heat from her lips slowly move to his right ear then down his neck. She gently kisses his neck and nibbles on it as well. He allows her to give him hints as to what she wants him to do. Chuck starts to kiss her neck and works his way up to her ear. He gently bites on her ear while caressing her back.
She raises her arms and Chuck gets the hint to help her remove her shirt as well. You see Chuck fumble with the bottom of the shirt and finally manages to get it over her head. He thinks OMG I have to remove a bra and I cannot remember how! He feels like he is in a comedy show and is a bit frozen on what to do now! He starts to reach around to undo it but winces from the pain in his shoulder.
You pan back to Sarah and Casey listening and watching. They cannot see clearly, due to the only light coming from the TV. Casey is a bit tense as he knows that this must be very hard on Sarah. He also thinks that this is her fault to begin with though. If she had just given Chuck any type of emotional comfort after the Marco case, he would not be there in the first place.
He is watching Sarah when he sees her start to move towards the house. He quickly grabs her shoulder and is suddenly flipped over her body. You hear an thud as he lands and Sarah stops in her tracks realizing what she had just done.
Sarah: Sorry Casey, but you should not have grabbed me like that!
Casey: What did you want me to do? Just let you run up there and knock on the door? It's your fault that he is in there in the first place! He needs a break, Agent Walker and your not going to mess this one up! If you want him I suggest that you find a different way than barging in on him right now!
Sarah: Well, I don't have to take this! I am leaving and you can take over watching him all by yourself!
Casey: Yea, you do that Walker. You need to get your priorities straight and not just the ones concerning the job! Now go get some sleep and I will let you know if there is anything that you need to know.
Sarah: This is one report that you can make without me! ( shouting a bit loudly at Casey)
Casey: Keep it down Walker! You want to blow our cover?
Sarah turns and walks towards her car. ( Sarah hears the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKpZzcGjlFw&feature=related play in her head ) She is mumbling to herself as she walks. Great going again, another find mess I have gotten myself into. She knows that Casey is right, but it doesn't make it any easier. If Chuck goes through with this tonight how is she going to deal with it! She really does suck at relationships.
Sarah has been putting Chuck off for several months now and when she finally decides to be with him, he is in the arms of another woman. Boy that did not take him long! Well, I guess she cannot really blame him, but it is much easier for her. As she is getting more and more upset with herself, her phone rings again. This time she picks it up without looking.
Sarah: What?
Elle: Well hello to you too!
Sarah: I am sorry Elle, it is just that I have had a really bad day.
Elle: I wanted to let you know that Chuck called me today. He sounded very upset and I am guessing that you too had a fight? I need to talk to you about it Sarah, but not on the phone. Please come over so that we can discuss it tonight.
Sarah: Elle, I really don't want to talk about it right now. Yes, Chuck and I had a fight, but I don't know if there is really anything more to discuss now anyway.
Elle: Sarah, I know my brother very well and we need to talk! If not for Chuck, then for our friendship. I know that you too are right for each other. I also feel like we have become friends over these last few months and friends talk when there are problems.
Sarah: Elle, I am not in a good state of mind on this at the moment. ( She is thinking not after what I just heard and viewed )
Elle: Sarah, if you want to give up on your relationship, then don't come over. If you want to make it work, then you need to come over tonight. I will leave it up to you.
Sarah stops in her tracks. How is this going to help me with Chuck, she is thinking. Well she did like Elle and she has always treated Sarah like a friend or family member since she first meeting her. Sarah really did not want to deal with this tonight, but she may not have any choice. Elle had put her in a corner and if she wanted to still be with Chuck, she had better not offend his family. After a long pause she decides that Casey is right. She still wants Chuck and she will have to fight to get him back.
Sarah: OK Elle. I will come over tonight. I don't know how it will help with Chuck, but I will be there in about 45 minutes.
Elle: Thanks Sarah, I assure you that you will not regret it.
Sarah hangs up the phone and hears a dog barking in the background. She doesn't bother to turn around to find out where the noise is coming from. If she had, she may have been in a better mood.
We pan back to the house and just as Chuck is going to attempt the daring feat of removing a trap that women lay for men, Crystals dog jumps right up on the couch and starts barking. This has a chilling effect on both Crystal and Chuck. Chuck is both relieved and disappointed at the same time. They both are trying to see what the dog is barking at, but don't see anything. Then they see someone walking far off in the distance.
Crystal, looks at Chuck and gives a sign of disappointment. She takes him by the hand and leads him to her king size bed. The relief that he had earlier now turns to doubt in himself. As they get into the bedroom Crystal turns to Chuck.
Crystal: Since we are both a bit timid about this, how about we just hold each other tonight instead?
Chuck: ( with a huge weight lifted) Yes! Yes! That would be great! Not that I, aaahhh well ...
Crystal: ( laughs at Chucks dilemma ) It's OK Chuck, I feel the same way. But I really don't want to be alone tonight, even if it is just to have you hold me.
Chuck: Yea, I don't really want to be alone either. ( he starts thinking about Sarah and wishes it was her )
Chuck: By the way, you wouldn't happen to have some PJ's that I could use?
Crystal: Why? I sleep in the nude. ( she watches Chuck's mouth snap open and laughs) Just kidding!
Yea, I have some bottoms that you can wear.
She goes to the dresser and pulls out some bottoms and throws them to Chuck. He goes into the bathroom and changes while Crystal changes into her nightgown. It is a silky white number that goes to mid thigh, it is low cut which shows off her assets to their true potential.
When Chuck comes out of the bathroom and sees Crystal in the nightgown, he almost falls over onto the floor. She is stunning and he now sees her as a stunning woman just like Sarah. ( song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVhnxZej0w4&feature=related plays in background ) She sees him almost fall over and tries to catch him to make sure he doesn't hurt himself even more. They get into bed and she puts her head on his shoulder and cuddles up to his warm body.
Crystal: I am glad that I found you on the beach Chuck. I do appreciate you as you are a blessing to me. I was about to think there was no hope of meeting a good man out there, till I meet you. ( she drapes her arm over his chest )
Chuck: I am the one that should be counting my blessings! You really helped me out as well. I just hope that I can repay you somehow. For now I can be as true a friend for you as you have been for me.
Crystal: Thanks Chuck and good night.
Chuck: Good night.
