Chapter 1: She Lives Just Down the Block

He felt like he'd walked a hundred mile but it had only been a few blocks. When he'd found out she was moving in five blocks down he'd been thrilled. Now he didn't need a reason to stop by after shift and talk to her. He could just say he was in the neighborhood and thought he'd drop by. As he turned the corner he saw her out in the front lawn. She was stunning in the short shorts that barely covered her fanny. He looked at her as he approached almost spellbound by her true beauty. She was Sara Sidle, CSI and hot to trot.

"Hey," he said as he watched her telling a mover where to put a box of dishes. Sara jumped and turned to see Gilbert Grissom standing behind her. She smiled and nodded her head.

"Hey," she replied as she looked at him. He was wearing a pair of blue jogging paints and a white t-shirt. He was sweating so she guessed he'd been running or walking. She pushed a stray strand of hair out of her face that had escaped the massive ponytail at the back of her head and continued to smile.

"So I had no idea you were moving here. I live just down the street and was kind of hurt when I had to find out by one of my neighbors that one of my CSI's was moving to this part of the neighborhood." Grissom commented as he helped her pick up some of the things that were scattered around the lawn.

"I didn't think you wanted to hear about it. The way you were acting last night at work you looked like one of those male gorilla's at the zoo. You know the one's the others watch from a distance so they don't get their heads torn off for staring to long." Sara threw over her shoulder as she placed a rather large statue on the floor beside her black leather couch.

"We've unloaded everything in the truck Sara. Do you need us to move any of this stuff upstairs?" One of the muscular movers asked as she dug in her purse for the money to pay them.

"No thank you. Griss will help me. Won't you Griss?" Sara gave him a smile over her shoulder as she handed the man some money.

"Sure if you want my help you got it." Grissom said giving her his best lopsided grin he could manage.

"Ok, well, see you around Sara." The man said and bent over to kiss Sara on the cheek.

"Thanks Rex." She said kissing his cheek back.

The man smiled and nodded at Grissom in a silent "goodbye I hate you because you're here with such a beautiful woman who won't let me help her," gesture and then yelled to his buddy to come on. After the movers had gone Sara turned to Grissom and smiled looking around she simply began to move boxes. Grissom helped her whenever she gave him the chance.

After everything was assembled in the downstairs they made their way up to the second floor and began to put things in the correct rooms and assemble each room with their furnishings. It was around three o'clock when they literally almost crawled back down stairs and sat on the couch to take a break.

"Are you hungry? I can have something delivered." Sara said as she reached for the phone and the phone book. Grissom just sat there completely exhausted, food was the last thing on his mind. He wanted nothing more than to close his eyes and go to sleep he didn't even care that he was with Sara. He was so tired that his mind had stopped functioning.

"What do you say we forget food and I take a nap?" Grissom said reaching over and stilling Sara's fingers as she flipped through the phone book for a delivery place. Sara looked at him and smiled. Of course he was tired he'd been here for almost six hours helping her move the furniture and assemble her new home the least she could do now was let the man go home and rest. Sara smiled and closed the phone book and put it and the phone down on the coffee table.

"Ok, I'll drive you home. Come on." Sara said getting up and grabbing her keys from the table by the door. Grissom was still on the couch. He licked his lips and looked at the floor. He hadn't meant he wanted to go home; he'd wanted to stay here with Sara and nap with her on this very comfortable couch. He looked up at her and saw the questions in her eyes. She was just as confused as he was when it came to his behavior around her. He took a breath and looked back down at the floor where she stood in her short shorts and low cut tank top.

"I…um, meant why don't was forget the food and we take a nap…together." Sara blinked then dropped her keys back on the table but didn't move toward him or away from him. She just stood there and stared at the floor.

'If he wants this he's going to have to cross the finish line.' Sara told herself as she took a breath and looked up to find Grissom standing only a few feet away from her. He shuffled his feet for a minute then looked up at her and began to stare. Sara took a few steps toward Grissom coming to stop only when she was a couple of steps away from him. His breathing was heavy and he was swaying on his feet as he stood there.

The house was in working order on the bottom floor but the second still had a little bit of work to be done but it could wait cause right now Sara was felling lucky and she planed to be if Grissom would just move his damn feet and come closer to her. A few minutes later success, Grissom came and stood right in front of Sara, his shoes touching hers and his nose touching hers. She smiled and pressed her face forward making contact with his mouth as she did so.

Kissing Grissom was something Sara had never expected to do and something she'd always wanted at the same time. It must have been a twist of fate that had her standing here in front of her door kissing him now. His lips were warm and soft, they felt great against hers as he slide his lips over hers kissing her like she was a lover. She hoped by the end of this she would be, she hadn't thought of seducing Grissom when he'd came here but now it seemed like a really nice idea. She pulled away and looked at him.

He was standing there with his eyes focused partly on her eyes and her lips, she didn't know how he managed all this at the same time but he was. She took his hand and moved toward the stairs pulling him with her as she went. He came rather willingly and when they reached the master bedroom she pushed the doors open and turned to Grissom.

"Do you want to take a nap here or go home now?" She hadn't meant for it as sound as rude as it did but Grissom understood. She was really saying 'if you pass this door and into that room there's no going back.' Grissom for the first in life gave into his desire and walked into the room with Sara behind him.
