A/N: So, once I dreamt that I owned CSI, then I woke up and realized that I was late for school, yeap, life is not fair, you wake up in the middle of a very good dream only to realize that reality sucks:P
So, they are not mine but I have a lot of fun with them!
Enjoy!
It had been at least 18 months since the last time he had seen her and now there she was, looking up from the first floor of the building and at the same time looking for something. Gil Grissom stopped staring from the highest floor of the building and phoned the landlord, he wanted to know if the floor below him had been sold, he needed to get the question out of his mind. If it had been any other person there would be no problem but it was Sara Sidle who was staring at the building, the same Sara Sidle who had left Vegas and him with a broken heart, not that he had ever told her his feelings but those were other times.
"Hello? Mr. Jenkins, yeah it's Gil Grissom from floor 30, I wanted to know if you had sold the last apartment, yeah the 29 floor…oh you have, yes and she's moving today, oh, do you know her name? No, it's just curiosity, ah, her name's Sara, Sara Sidle, okay, thanks, no, there's no problem, thank you, bye"
It was true and for the first time in a quite long time Grissom didn't really knew weather to be happy or scared, he would have Sara near him which meant she could get closer to him but that also meant she could also walk away again and leave him broken hearten (again), of course she had no idea of what she had done to him.
"Okay Grissom, this is gonna happen today or tomorrow or some day but it's gonna happen, don't try to stop what you just can't stop" he thought as he waited for the elevator to stop on the first floor, where Sara was talking to the landlord. Well at the moment he saw Sara was so close, he started having second thoughts, the panic and as it was too late to take the elevator back, he tried to go out of the building without being seen (plus it was the only exit).
He was about 3 meters away from the door when he felt Sara's eyes on his back, he should have turned, turned and act as if he was surprised but he didn't. Instead he run, he felt her eyes and froze for a second then he started walking faster as if he was in a hurry but then slowed down when she quit looking at him.
"So I heard Sara is coming back" Nick said out loud in the break room, the entire team was there and Grissom knew they were expecting him to answer but that was something he really didn't know it would be Brass to be the first to know, and then he would tell him the news. "I don't know, and for your surprise and relief, there are no cases for tonight" he announced to no one in particular, "Cool, free night" Greg said as if he was an eight year old who had just heard that had no school because of the snow "Yes, but only if you have finished all your paper work". Then Grissom was out of the room, he needed two things, first, to get out of the room because they would star talking about Sara and second, to finish his own paper work.
He was sitting in his office, as he had just finished his paper work his eyes were tired so he took off his glasses, threw his head against the top of the chair and tried to rest a bit.
When had it been the last time she had walked through those halls to get to that office? Well something about 18 months 17 days and less than 15 hours, and when had she started regretting it? Well, for 18 months, 16 days and 5 hours, leaving had been one of the worst things she could have ever done. And the worst part of it was that she had left Grissom hurt, the only thing she had wanted the least.
And now there she was, Sara was in Vegas again, closer to Grissom than ever and at the same time more distant. They were living in the same building, she knew because after he left the building that morning she had asked about hi. Now she was going to his office to tell him that she had been given her old job for good or for worst but she was there now, and was there to stay.
"Hey Sara?" she heard when she was half way to Grissom's office, it was Chat; the only person who she had kept contact with, the person who had told her about Grissom's state after she left, the person who was one of her few real friends. So she stopped, hugged her and they chat for a while, then she left to face her demons, well, to face her angel actually.
A knock on the door woke him up; he put on his glasses, looked up and found Sara's head popping through the door. For a moment he was in a shock but then he remembered he was Gil "Stay away from my feelings" Grissom; but with Sara it was different, so he tried to stay cool. "Sara" he paused "Come in", she did as he ordered and closing the door after her she sat on the chair across from Grissom's.
"It's been a long time, uh?" she said to break the ice; bad choice though, "Yeah, long time" was the only thing he managed to say, he was in a weird situation; on one hand he was hurt and confused, but on the other hand he was shocked of how nice Sara looked, it was as if every day she looked better, but he shouldn't be thinking that, at least not at work
