Summary: This is post Missing You and Wishing You Were Here. Sara is coming home from vacation, Grissom and Sara POV. G/S..Please R/R
(Grissom POV)
I'm standing here at the gate and people are beginning to file out. She hasn't come out yet, but there are probably a lot of people on the flight. Why am I so nervous? It's just Sara!! Well, I guess it isn't just Sara anymore, it's the woman I love. The woman who finally found a way into my heart, and into my bed. This last thought made his eyes shine bright and his heart beat even faster as his lips curled into a radiant smile.

She was toward the back of the plane and just had to wait til most of the other passengers got off first. She couldn't wait to see him again. She hoped he would be there when she got off, but she didn't want her heart to be broken if he wasn't. She sighed to herself and thought of how just fifteen days ago she stood at his door not knowing if she would even be returning from this trip. Now here she was not only returning to Vegas, but to the same man she was going to run away from. The same man who she thought didn't have any feelings at all, let alone feelings for her. She was shocked to see the empty plane ahead of her, when she realized she had been totally lost in her thoughts. She picked up her carryon bag and headed for the exit, not knowing if she would be overjoyed or disappointed when she got there.
~~~~~
He couldn't believe it. The people had stopped coming out a few minutes ago, and she wasn't there. Had she missed her flight? He thought for a moment and checked to see which gate he was at. The paper in his hand said 15, he looked at the sign above the flight desk and sure enough it said 15. Maybe she decided not to come back after all. A sad look washed over his face, his hands fell to his side and his shoulders slumped down as his head fell forward against his chest. For a moment he couldn't breath. How could she do this, he began to think, tears forming in his eyes. He sat for a few seconds trying to regain his thoughts when the anger began to surface. It started at the pit of his stomach, making it's way to his chest, radiating up his neck into his head, out through his arm til his fists were clenched in tight little balls. He felt nausea is his stomach and the pounding in his head. Screw her he thought as he turned from the waiting area. If she can't deal with me, then I'll give her a reason to leave, I'll fire her ass! He began to walk away, leaving behind this bad memory. When suddenly all the anger drained from his body, all the disappointment washed away in an instant. His mind was racing again, what if, no he had to be wrong, she was a big girl, but what if she was hurt. No one else even knew where she was. At least he didn't think anyone else knew. What if he was the only one, who knew, he would have to find her. He turned back toward the door with panic in his eyes. His heart almost gave out on him at that moment. There she was, looking around with a disappointed look in her eyes. He couldn't move, relief and happiness washed over him all at once. She was home! All the emotions he had felt a few minutes earlier gone in an instant when he saw her face.
~~~~~
She walked down the long corridor feeling strangely like she was in a movie where the corridor keeps getting longer and longer til your running at full speed and the doorway at the end just gets further and further away. Of course the reality was the door was only a few feet away, but with her heart racing as fast as it was she couldn't be sure if it was a dream or if it was real. She closed her eyes for a second as she approached the doorway, she stopped, took a deep breath and walked through the opening. She was stunned for a second. He wasn't there! She looked around her, disappointment marking her face, how could he not have come? For a moment she thought maybe he had gotten called in to work. She reminded herself that she hadn't wanted to get her hopes up. He never promised he'd be here. Those thoughts however weren't enough to keep the anger from building inside of her just a little. She closed her eyes again hoping for a new perspective and sighed deeply. She opened her eyes with her head down looking at the ground as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder. As she took a step forward she allowed her head to come up to see where she was going and the sight in front of her almost knocked her flat on her rear.
~~~~~
He saw the look of anger flash across her face as she was having her silent emotional battle. That's when his feet began to work again. His eyes never left her as she looked at the floor and sighed. He stopped about five feet away from her, not wanting to scare her when she finally looked up again. As she began to move toward him not looking yet, he knew she was going to be startled regardless so he moved closer and reached out to her as she brought her head up. Good thing to cause she would have landed on her rear end if he hadn't grabbed her arm to pull her towards him.
~~~~~
"Shit Grissom", she yelled out as he caught her by the arm and pulled her close to him. This left them chest to chest and little more than six inches apart. She could feel his breath on her face and saw the look of passion in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel all of the anger drain from her as it was replaced by a feeling of need and desire for this man before her.
They stayed like that for a few seconds just staring into each other's eyes, feeling the warmth of their bodies pressed so closely together. Their breathing came in shallow gasps as they fought to regain control of their passion. Grissom came to his senses first and stepped back just enough to allow himself room to breathe without touching their chests together. Sara looked a little hurt that he didn't take advantage of the moment, but she knew he wasn't the most openly affectionate person, and they were in the middle of a busy airport, so she let it go.
He took her pack from her shoulder with a smile, " Let me carry that for you", he said.
"Uh, thanks", was the best she could manage. They began walking towards the baggage claim area silently not knowing exactly how to start their first real conversation since they said goodbye two weeks ago. Each was waiting for the other to say something until they couldn't take it anymore and they both started with.
"I didn't think.." They stopped and looked at each other not believing that the other had said exactly the same thing. A small laugh escaped them both as they argued who should go first. Sara finally won the argument when Grissom said, "When I didn't see you getting off that plane, I thought you had decided not to come back." He searched her eyes hoping she wouldn't be angry with him for not trusting her, but all he saw was amusement.

By the way, I haven't gotten to the Incubus song part in this chapter yet. It will be coming I'm sure.
