Grissom slipped his hand down and brushed the hair away from her face. " I want to see you. I want to look into your eyes. Oh God Sara what you do to me."

She released him from her mouth and pulled herself up to him. He reached up and cupped her chin with his hands. Pulling her in close for a kiss, she stopped.

"Gris" she whispered, "what are you doing?" He didn't let go, he only pulled her closer. " Sara I need you." He pulled her down on top of him wrapping his arms tightly around her almost squeezing the breath out of her. His kiss was probing and she could feel just how much he wanted her near him. He rolled above her and looked down into her eyes.

Sara wasn't really sure what she was looking at as she approached Grissom's office. She knew that he and Sophia had been out to dinner earlier that evening. Well it was more like a break from work, with food. At least that's how she looked it, even though it was Sophia's night off. So what was she doing still in the lab, in Grissom's office, on his couch, in his arms, kissing him?

"Grissom" she said a little more forceful this time "get off me before someone comes in".

"What?"

"Get up!" She planted the palms of her hands on his firm chest and pushed softly.

"You were sleeping. Obviously dreaming."

"OH! Oh no. I'm so sorry Sophia." He pushed himself up to observe the damage and hoped he had not done what he thought he had.

"Don't be. It was actually quit nice. I'm a little concerned about what you were dreaming though. You seem a little excited about it what ever it was." Sophia darted her eyes downward. Grissom turned a little red with embarrassment.

"I, uh… better get off before"

Just then there was a small knock on the door as Sara pushed it open the rest of the way and stood there in the frame.

"UH-HM. Too late," Sara cleared her throat and dropped her head. She put a file on the chair next to the door. "Just wanted to drop this off and let you know, that I'm uh." Sara stopped and shot a look into Grissom's eyes that made his blood run cold. "I'm done." She turned and quickly walked out the door before he could see the tears welling up in her eyes.

Grissom dropped his head as Sophia looked up at him. "I better go, um, get up now." He jumped up and took off after Sara.

"Sara!" Grissom yelled out as she walked away. "Sara Sidle stop were you are." Sara stopped but didn't turn around. He walked up behind her and started to speak when she turned on him.

"You know Grissom, I have tried to get you out of my head. I have tried to get you out of my thoughts. I've even gotten a life like you told me too. I'm sick of being your puppet. I walk away and you still call me back. Is it so you can have your own little fan club? Do you like the idea of me drooling over you and following your every move just to impress you? Just to have you throw me a quick glance every now and then? All I ever asked from you was a chance Grissom. You couldn't even give me that much."

Just then Sophia stepped out of the door to Grissom's office.

"Guess dinner went better than expected Huh?" Sara yelled to Sophia.

"Sara wait. Just listen", Sophia said back.

"NO! You listen to me you conniving little wench."

Just then Ecklie walked around the corner and caught site of Grissom taking Sara's arm to lead her away. Sara yanked her arm free and spat out "Let me go. You have no right to touch me." Ecklie quickly walked over and demanded Sara follow him to his office. She followed in silence with her gut turning like a child who just got sent to the principles office. Ecklie slammed the door behind him and began the verbal beating.

"This is the second time you have done this to a superior. You are lucky you still have a job here Ms. Sidle. If it wasn't for Grissom seeing whatever it is he sees in you, you would have been" Sara cut him off.

"What?" she snorted. "Fired? And as far as Grissom seeing anything in me, he made it very clear that he sees nothing there." She paused for a moment choking on her emotions. "So, are you going to fire me now? Because if you are let me just say this, you can't and you know why? Cause I quite!"

Sara stormed out of the office and past everyone in the hall. Her outburst was loud enough to be heard by anyone in the lab. They all watched in disbelief as Sara ran out of the building. Grissom didn't have time to process what had just happened much less say anything.

"Should I tell her or should you?" Sophia asked Grissom. "Tell who what?" Greg piped up. "And what's up with Sara? She seemed really pissed when she pulled off."

"Greg" Grissom started but stopped. "Right now is not the time. I'm not sure if the time ever will be right to fix what I've just done."
