DREAM'S DREAM COMES TRUE

Grissom sat on the couch that resided in his office, doing what he does best...thinking. He was trying to decide what to say to Sara to convince her he was ready to take a big step forward with her. Since he was deep in thought, he didn't notice Sara had walked into his office and sat on the couch beside him. Grissom was startled when Sara placed her hand on his. He looked at her and smiled nervously.

"Why don't we go to my place where we can talk in private?" suggested Grissom, praying to God she would agree.

Sara nodded, and Grissom said, "I can make us something to eat as well, if you want."

"Okay, I'm just going to go home and shower, okay?"

When Sara arrived at Grissom's, he had just gotten out of the shower. She smiled at Grissom with her gapped tooth smile that made his heart melt. They sat at the kitchen table and ate silently. Gil cleared the dishes from the table, and when he was done they went into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"Sara, I want to apologize for the way I've been treating you over the past years," said Grissom suddenly, startling Sara. "I was scared to admit that I've been in love with you since I met you."

Sara asked, "Why should I believe you now? I mean, you seem to be toying with me...you'll pull me in only to push me back ever farther. I'm not a toy, Grissom...and it's not a game. Nor is it funny...Griss, it hurts!"

Tears started to flow down her face. Gil's heart broke and he took her hand in his. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm trying honey. Sara, I know this is hard for you to believe. I will do anything to prove that you can trust me. Please, just let me show you."

He lifted her head with his hand and lightly kissed her lips, just a small sample of what's to come. Sara was too dumbstruck to say anything except, "Wow!" She always melted when he was being nice to her. She didn't want to give in but, she still loved him. She decided to give him one more chance and she made it very clear that was his last chance. If he blew it, he would have to live alone for the rest of his life. She knew she sounded cold, but for her own sake she needed to make it clear that she would not wait around forever. He agreed to her terms, promising he would do his best to keep her happy.

Grissom stood up and knelt down in front of her, "Sara Sidle will you do me the honor of going out on a date with me tonight?"

She looked onto those ocean blue eyes and she could tell he was nervously waiting for her answer. Sara started laughing uncontrollably, and Grissom froze with a strange look on his face. He managed to regain his composure to ask her what was so funny. Sara stopped laughing long enough to tell him why she was laughing.

"Griss, I'm laughing because of the way you asked me out. For a second I thought you were going to propose."

"Sara, I was trying to show you I am ready for this. So, what's your answer?" he asked nervously.

Sara said, "Yes, I would love to go out a date with you tonight.

Grissom leaned into Sara and gave her along deep passionate kiss. They only pulled back so they catch their breath. He moved to her neck kissed her it tenderly and whispered, "I'll propose on the second date!"

He leaned back to look at Sara's face, her mouth was wide open. For once she was speechless.

"See honey, I have a sense of humor," he said while laughing hysterically.

Grissom stood up and sat down on the couch beside her and pulled her close to him. He started kissing her gently. He pulled her on top of him as he lay back on the couch. Grissom slid his hand under her shirt and moved his hand up and down her back slowly, gently caressing her. It felt so good to him. Sara started moaning from his touch.

After a few more minutes, Grissom broke her heart by saying, "Honey, as much as I am enjoying this, you should leave now."

Sara sat up and stared at him unbelieving. After his speech of never breaking her heart, he goes and tells her to get out of his house. She was getting furious, not at him, but at herself. How could she be falling for him again?

'Now he wants to stop and tell me he has changed his mind...fuck him!' she thought, tears burning her eyes.

Grissom sees tears filling in her eyes, and he realized what he said. He said, "Honey you didn't let me finish. I – I was trying to tell you that you might want to go home and get ready for our date remember. I'm sorry Sara, I'm new at this please forgive me."

Sara sees the sincerity in his eyes, and gives Grissom a kiss. She then tells him she needs to apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion.

He smiles at her and whispers, "You have nothing to apologize for. Now what about our date?"

"Griss, I have an idea. You interested in a compromise about our date?" Sara asked with a sly smile on her face.

"What's your idea?" Grissom asked cautiously.

"Instead of going out, we could order some take out and continue what we were doing before the misunderstanding," said Sara, looking him straight in the eye.

"I wanted to take you out to a restaurant," he pouted. "Having take out for a first date doesn't seem...proper."

Gil, does it really matter where we are on our first date as long as we are together?"

He loved it when she called him by his first name. However tempting the offer, he continued trying to make her change her mind.

"Honey, I just wanted our first date to be a night to remember," he said and he began to pout again.

Sara thought Gil looked sexy when he pouted.

"Don't you think kissing and love making would not be something to remember?

"Sara, you are so bad!" Grissom said.

Then he asked if she wanted to order take out now or later. She told him that they would eat later. Gil moved closer and started removing her T-shirt. Sara started to unbutton his shirt and she ran her hands up and down his bare chest. He trembled as she moved her hand down to undo his belt. Grissom took Sara by the hand and led her into his bedroom and they continued kissing all they way to his bed. They stopped long enough to catch their breath.

In between kisses, Gil whispered, "Sara, I love you!"

She beamed as she told him that she loved him too. Suddenly, Gil said, "Oh shit!"

He remained quiet. Sara asked what's wrong

"Honey, I don't have any protection."

Sara could see Gil was starting to panic.

"It's okay babe, I'm on the pill."

At his raised eye brow, she said, "You know, just hoping you'd come around."

He began to relax. Tonight his dreams were finally coming true. He was going to make love to the woman he has wanted for so long. Life couldn't get any more perfect.
