Freaky Valentine T rated

"So no steak Gil? Don't say you turned into a vegetarian too?" Catherine asked, amused at his choice of food, they had many dinners together and he always ordered meat, but now that Sara was here he suddenly didn't.

"Well I just wanted to try something different" Grissom replied calmly, while he could kill Catherine for putting him on the spot.

"Since when do you feel adventures Mr. 'better be safe the sorry'?" Catherine pushed, raising an eyebrow.

Grissom was beginning to regret their team dinner, they had agreed to celebrate their latest solved case and Catherine cleared all of his excuses out of the way, so he had to say yes.

He was a little more cheerful when he heard that Sara was coming too, they were getting more along lately and he dared to say; even becoming friends again.

Now he wasn't sure if it was worth it, she was avoiding him al the time they where here and that was a hard thing to do when he was sitting close beside her.

Grissom did thought she looked gorgeous tonight, not that she didn't on a daily basis; but tonight she was more beautiful then ever in her black strapless dress, that hung on her every curve as if the dress was designed for her.

He had trouble in keeping his hands to himself tonight, like he had a choice, he saw her face twitch when he came too close in her personal space, so he backed of a little, not really wanting to be on her bad side.

Grissom signed "Catherine it's not like pasta is going to kill me or suddenly is going to give me another perspective of life, so drop it please?" he pleaded.

She eventually gave in "Ok, just curious at your choice of food that's all" Catherine quickly glanced in the direction of the brunette sitting next to him, toying with her food, she wondered if it was a good idea to ask her with them, she said she didn't feel that good.

"Sara are you ok?" Brass asked breaking up the silence.

Sara's head snapped up "Yeah, fine just lost in thoughts I guess"

She doesn't look fine at all, Brass thought and looked at his best friend, you better do something soon Gil or I will.

He gave Grissom a quick glare, but he just shrugged it away in a 'What can I do' expression.

"Come on people we nailed the basterd, let's enjoy a day of the living" Greg suggested, trying to lighten up the mood.

"He is right, let's toast" Nick added, getting everyone's attention.

He raised his glass; everyone followed even Sara and Grissom.

"To us; the best nightshift, Hell the best team Las Vegas has ever seen"

"Here, Here" Went across the table as everybody smiled, maybe dinner would be an success after all, Catherine thought as she was the one who planned it on the labs paycheck of course.

Dinner was pleasant and everybody chatted, even Grissom and Sara seemed to have a good time, they deserved it more then everyone; working almost non stop on the case.

After a while the table was getting empty as people went home, the only ones still there were Sara, Grissom and Brass.

"Well I don't know about you two but I'm going home and try to get some sleep" Brass said.

"Sara, do you need a ride?"

"No thanks, I'll take a cab"

"Are you sure, it isn't that much out of my way"

"No it's ok Brass"

"O ok, see you guys tomorrow I guess bye"

After Brass left, they were the only two still sitting at the fancy table.

"Want something to drink?" Grissom asked, breaking the silence.

"Sure, just some water"

"Ok" Grissom order some water for both of them and sat back, taking in Sara's appearance.

"Could you stop doing that?" Sara asked without looking at him.

Grissom turned a little red at being caught ogling, and decided to play dumb "doing what?"

Sara turned to face him and raised an eyebrow "Don't play dumb Grissom, it doesn't suit you" She responded a little harsh, she was just tired of his pushing and pulling her back in, time to do something about that, she thought.

"I'm sorry, then you should stop being beautiful, both an impossible task" He said, trying to ignore her tone of voice.

Sara blushed and was about to reply when an old woman interrupted them.

She must have been well over the 70 with thick white curly hair, piercing blue eyes and what Sara only could describe as: old Hippie clothes, not the dress code for a place like this.

"I saw you two across the room, such a lovely couple"

"We are not a.." Sara started but was cut of by Grissom.

"Thank you" He responded, ignoring Sara's shocked expression.

"You know what you two need; a fortune cookie"

Sara knitted her eyebrows in confusion, No what they needed was a room with a bed and a good way to solve the sexual tension hanging around them for the past 6 years.

She signed, like that's ever going to happen, Grissom would properly dance around pretending to be a chicken, if he could choose between that and sleeping with her.

Sara smiled at the mental image of Grissom in a chicken suit, but was interrupted by a cold hand pressing on her bare shoulder.

"Here you go dear and it is for free, well I will have to go enjoy you're evening and remember an act of love solves everything" The woman said after dropping a fortune cookie in Sara's hand and left.

Sara was about to ask what she meant by that, but when she looked up the elderly woman was already gone, just disappeared into thin air.

"Well that was strange" Grissom said, startling Sara out of her thoughts.

"Yeah it was"

"So aren't you going to open it"

"Huh?"

"The fortune cookie" Grissom said, pointing at it.

"Oh sure…ehm how about we read it together, I don't really believe in this sort of stuff"

Grissom gave her a lopsided smile "I think you don't want to read it alone, because you do believe"

Sara just gave him 'I don't know what you're talking about' look and shrugged.

"Well here it goes"

Sara broke the cookie in half and turned the note over.

She felt Grissom shift closer, until his chest was practically touching her back, Sara knew that he didn't have his glasses with him so he only did it to read the note, but it felt so damn good and his smell was intoxicated.

He looked so good; in his Black Italian suit, a white dress shirt and a silk, light blue tie to finish of his handsome appearance.

"Are you ok?" Grissom asked concerned..

Sara felt a shiver run through her body as his lips almost touched her ear; she swore she could feel his whiskers.

She cleared her throat "Yeah, let's read it shall we on 3"

Grissom nodded, his beautiful blue eyes piercing through her chocolate brown ones.

Sara locked her eyes with him, god could she get lost in them, so much emotion were held by them, yet so deep down that she could only catch a mere glimpse of the man he was when he let his guard down.

Grissom cleared his throat as he broke the gaze, bringing them both back to reality.

"1, 2, 3"

Simultaneous they began to read the note "The best way to learn about the one you love is by standing in their shoes"

Sara loved the sound of them together, made it almost erotic; his low throaty voice in contrast with her female smoother and higher one.

"Well, I guess she is right" Grissom said after a moment, still sitting close to her, feeling her body heat through his clothing.

"Yeah well, it's a hard thing to do when you don't love anyone"

Grissom tried to look in her eyes, but she kept avoiding his gaze, she was afraid that he would see right through her lie. 'Nothing hurts more then unanswered love' and boy did she know it.

"It's getting late, I think I will go home, can I use your phone?" Sara asked.

"Why?"

"Cause my battery is death and I need to call a cab"

"Well I can drive you home"

"I don't think that's a good idea Grissom"

Grissom gave her a confused look "Sara, I'm only going to drive you home, what can possibly happen?"

Sara bit her lip to keep her from blurting everything out; she already could see it happen; 'Wanna come up for coffee?' Dating language for; 'Wanna come up and sleep with me'.

"Come on, let's go" Grissom paid the dinner on the labs expenses and grabbed his coat.

"How can Vegas be so cold at night" Sara whined as an cold shiver ran through her spine.

"Well when the sun..."

"It was a rhetorical question Grissom, I know perfectly fine why it is so cold, doesn't mean I can't bitch about it" Sara said, cutting him of.

Grissom couldn't help but smile, she was so beautiful with slightly pink cheeks and an adorable frown on her face.

"Here" he said, shrugging of his coat and draped it around her shoulders.

"There is no need.."

"Sara humor me will you, just take it"

Sara smiled "Thanks" and wrapped herself more into the pleasant warmth of his coat.

Grissom shrugged and placed his hands in his pockets as they continued to walk along each others side in silence.

When they finally reached his car, he opened the door for her and helped her in.

Sara gave him, his coat back as the both strapped themselves in.

Grissom turned on the engine and drove of, on their way to Sara's place.

He tried to take time to study her posture every time they stopped for a red light, she seemed tired, he wasn't surprised after working 3 days non stop, he was glad that the case was solved.

Grissom signed and turned his attention back on the road as the ride continued in comfortable silence.

Sara pretended not too notice him glances her way every now and then, but she saw his reflection in the car window, she wondered about what he was thinking every time he looked at her.

She was brought back to reality when they pulled up at her apartment complex.

"I had a great time tonight, I'm glad you came" Grissom said.

"Yeah, me too" Sara whispered, meeting his intense gaze and instantly lost herself in his eyes.

"Sara…." Grissom said, as if it should explain everything and anything just by saying her name.

"No it's ok, ehm I see you at work tomorrow?"

Grissom nodded "It's not fair you know, you deserve the next day of"

"So do you and besides I really don't mind coming in"

"I know Sara, that's what I'm worried about"

"Grissom please don't, I already tried that and it crashed and burned"

He lowered his head in shame as if she was speaking of him and not Hank, though he was part of the blame.

Sara wanted to reach to him and hug him, but she was worried about his reaction and that he would retreat back in his shelf.

Grissom looked up when he heard a door open.

"Sara wait" he said as he released his safety belt and walked towards her.

"What if you tried with me?"

Sara looked at him like he grew 2 heads "What?"

"I said.."

"I know what you said, are you serious?" She asked quite loudly as to make sure this was really happening.

"Well, ehm…we-I…." Grissom signed in frustration as he couldn't find the words.

Sara smiled and Grissom whipped his head around, silently asking her what was so funny when he was trying to be serious.

"Sorry, but I actually think I made you speechless"

Grissom let out a small chuckle at her observation, she did that many times without knowing it, somehow when he was around her he became a stumbling idiot.

He took a deep breath "I want to try Sara, I mean to see what happens"

Sara's deep brown eyes were completely focused on his blue ones and saw nothing but sincerity in them.

"Am I too late?" he asked carefully, shifting his feet in a nervous gesture.

"You could never be too late 'cause my heart won't let you go"

Now Grissom was really speechless, he just looked at her in a mild shocked expression, Did she just?…No, but she told me back at the dinner.

Now he really was confused, but was glad that he was getting a second chance, properly the last chance, he wasted too many already no way he was going to screw this one up.

"I'm glad" he said as he raised her head with his hand too look in her eyes, they told a greater story then her words ever could.

What he saw, he didn't like though; tears.

"Oh Honey, don't cry" He said and did the first thing that came in his mind, he hugged her.

He nearly crushed her body with his in a tight embrace, signing happily when he felt her relax and wrap her arms around him as tears ran down her cheeks.

"I should go" Sara said as she calmed down and loosened her hold on him.

"Yeah, it's getting colder" Grissom responded, rubbing her arms up and down, trying to warm her up.

Boy did he warm her up, but in a way that was not appropriate for the time or place they were in.

Sara almost groaned when his hands left her body, but didn't get much time to dwell on it as his lips touched hers, it was so soft and warm and it literally took her breath away.

Whoa where did this come from, I swear he wasn't this close to me a minute ago, he made the first move? Am I dreaming? If so please don't let me wake up, all this was running through Sara's mind until he broke the kiss.

Sara heard him breathing hard, but kept her eyes closed afraid of what she would see when she would open them.

"Sara, please look at me"

Sara carefully did so and looked deep into his, seeing a wide range of emotions, which he almost instantly masked when he saw what she was doing.

"I'm sorry"

Should have kept them closed, she mentally smacked herself for being so stupid.

Sara could feel her anger beginning to boil "Sorry for what? For kissing me, for hurting me all these years, for ever meeting me, what Grissom? Just be straight forward for once in your life"

Grissom was a little taken back by the venom in her voice, but didn't back away, he just stood there and stared at the ragging women before him.

"For everything I ever did to make you think of all that" he replied calmly, when his heart was clearly racing.

Sara stopped her pacing and looked straight at him, she was the one rendered speechless this time.

She opened up her mouth to say something, but nothing came out, damn the man for being so cryptic, why can't he just say what is on his mind.

"I'm just sorry period and I know that it are only words, but it's all I got and I hope that I get time to explain why I did what I did, if you give me the chance"

Sara crossed her arms in defense and looked at anything but at him "I need some time to think about it"

Grissom tried to mask his disappointment "I understand, just tell me when you are ready"

Sara nodded "goodnight Grissom" she kissed him on his bearded cheek and walked toward the door.

"Hey Sara"

She turned around, waiting for him to say something.

"Have I already told you how beautiful you look today?"

Sara turned slightly pink "Yeah you did, but I don't mind hearing it again"

Grissom chuckled "Well beautiful Sara, go have you're beauty sleep so you can be more beautiful in the morning"

She smiled "Grissom, try to drink less it clouds you're judgment"

He knitted his eyebrows in confusion and smiled after a moment, knowing that they both only had a glass of wine at the restaurant and waved her goodbye as she disappeared into the building.

"I love you" He whispered, his words only heard by the wind.

He felt like a terrible coward, even considered storming after her and showing her just how much he loved her, only his fear held him back.

Grissom shivered as the cold air hit his back, it was a bit chilly without his coat on, so he quit staring at her building as if she would come back and left, not knowing what be in store for him tomorrow.

-------------------------------------------------------

Grissom slowly woke up, stretched and rubbed his still closed eyes, he felt like he was 10 years younger and full of energy.

He almost jumped out of bed and looked at him self in the nearby mirror.

What he saw made him scream like a girl out of a horror movie.

-------------------------------------------------------

Sara was pacing around in the living room, trying to figure out if this was all a horrible nightmare, when there was a hard knock on the door.

"Open up, I think we need to talk"

That's an understatement, she thought and then she came to realize that the voice she heard belonged to…

"Are you in there?"

"Yeah, I'm coming"

She opened up the door and came face to face with…
