I'm just going to skip the legal stuff and cry in my corner

I'm just going to skip the legal stuff and cry in my corner. Who knows, may CBS will be sympathetic, or Sara may even come back so she can marry Grissom and make lots of babies! All right now I'm getting carried away but I can dream right?

"Hey Gil, where you going? Shift just started."

"I know, I just needed to talk to Ecklie before I left."

"Okay, so where are you going?"

"San Francisco." Without another word, Grissom left the building and a huge smile on Catherine's face.

"Has anyone seen Grissom?" Ecklie stuck his abnormally large balding head through the break room door, noting the absence of the nightshift supervisor for the second week.

"Haven't seen him since he left."

"I know that Sanders, but his vacation was only for two weeks and he has been gone for a month."

"Well. What if he isn't coming back? You know, the way Sara left."

"Or maybe he got distracted?"

"I care where he could be, I want to know where he is. His job is in deep water as it is because of her so get him back here asap." He left a room full of dirty looks, all aimed in his direction.

"I hate that guy."

"Who doesn't? But there isn't much you can Nick."

"I know that, but he cant go blaming Sara for everything that he does wrong."

"He's an ass kissing SOB who has obviously never been in love. What Grissom and Sara have is something anyone in a relationship could dream about and he is jealous."

"Who isn't? I bet you wish you had that with Eddie?"

"I did at one point but they're good together and he is trying to break it up. He broke up the team, then after learning about their relationship, he forced Sara to swap to swing."

"And now that Sara's gone he's trying to blame the only person he can because she isn't here." Catherine listened to the ringing on the other side of the line.

"Yeah, and I'm the messenger who has to break up the party. Gil is going to kill me."

San Francisco

A pair of lovers lay tangled under the bed sheets, after disturbing the neighbours with their adult activities. His hands were resting on her stomach, holding her back firmly against his chest. The beautiful moment, however, was not to last when his phone erupted. Reluctantly, he pulled an arm away and retrieved the noisy plastic.

"What!" There was no hiding the annoyance and tiredness in his voice.

"Whoa! What side of bed did you wake up on?"

"I didn't, you just woke us up."

"Us?" As if on cue, the slim brunette turned to face him, evidently still trying to wake herself up.

"Baby what's wrong?"

"It's Catherine honey, go back to sleep." Sleep was not on her mind right now, as she began planting soft kisses along his shoulder.

"Ecklie is driving everyone insane. You were supposed to be back two weeks ago Gil."

"I do know that Cath…I just…got…distracted." He forced himself to cover the phone as Sara began licking at his throat. "You are not helping Sara." Her lips pressed against his, cutting off any further communication with Catherine.

"I'm not supposed to." She thrust her tongue into his mouth, leaving Catherine to hear his groan on the other end. What they didn't realize was that back in Vegas, they were now on speaker, so everyone could hear their game of tonsil tennis and burst out laughing. Pulling away ever so slightly, they gave each other a questioning look.

"Catherine, am I on speaker?"

"It's quite possible."

"Cath-" He was again cut off when their mouths began their battle again.

"Er guys? You do realize we can hear you making out right?" In response, Grissom closed his phone and threw it somewhere on the floor. Flipping Sara on to her back, they continued to disturb the neighbours, making use of the time they had before he had to return to work.

All the action starts next chapter. This is possibly the closest I'll get to smut because romance isn't really my thing. R+R always welcome. If there are any mistakes it's because its dark and I broke my glasses. Sucks to be me I guess
