I watch you out of the corner of my eye. You look so sweet and all I see is your shadow in the sunset. You look perfect. I can't believe that we've been together now for a year. I also don't believe that we both got out of work for the night, every time we ask for time off together I can see Grissiom thinking about something about the change in our relationship but he doesn't want to ask or he hasn't connected all of the dots yet.
Tonight is going to be perfect the limo should be here shortly. I can't wait to see your eyes light up when you discover everything that I have planned for us. I planned dinner you planned the after party that was our agreed plan. Dinner was going to involve a three course meal at the little Italian place that we have been to a time or two but tonight is going to be different because I reserved us an entire backroom of the restaurant and I have requested our favorite waitress. Tonight will go off without a hitch.
We both get ready for the night you opt for a short black dress with stilettos and your hair is curled perfectly and pulled up, you have your string of diamonds on as well as matching earrings and bracelet. I opt for a nice tapered paint suit with the red blouse you love so much underneath that pulls the red pin stripe out of the suit and I have on matching red stilettos. I can hear a car pull up outside and run for the door.
"Coming Catherine?" I'm practically gitty with excitement for what's going to happen.
She walks out of the living room on her cell phone checking in on Linds. "I'm right here just hold on one second, no not you I was just calling to check in with you making sure your being nice to aunt Nancy….okay hunny sleep tight…love you too…nighty night" She hangs up the phone as I'm opening the door "wow hunny I don't know what to say"
"Just let's get moving. Our driver is waiting" I grab her arm not really supporting more just in a leading way. We walk together to the limo the driver has opened our door for us.
The drive is fun you can't seem to keep your hands off of me. Twenty minutes later we pulled up to the restaurant. I watch your eyes light up as you recognized where we are.
The driver comes around to open the door again for us. "You ladies have fun. I will be waiting over there (he points to a parking lot) I will pull up when I see you leaving".
"Thanks!" We say together. We laugh our way into the restaurant. We sit in the back of the room. I can see our waitress making her way over to us.
"Hi ladies. So I hear that tonight is a special night for us one year congratulations. What can I get you started with?"
"Well take the usual wine and appetizer, she will have the shrimp fettuccine alfredo and I will have the Vegetable parmesan."
"Okay ladies I will return with the wine shortly"
Cath scooted over closer to me as Vivian makes her way out of the room. She is leaning against my shoulder. I can feel your breath on the curve of my neck. It brings me back to the beginning
…We where working a pretty difficult case the whole team went out drinking together that night, my car had broken down that day and I hadn't gotton a chance to look at it yet so I called you up for a ride since you had to drive by my apartment anyway to drop off Linds.
"Guy's I'm sorry but this is getting why too late" Cath said with a yawn. "Are you ready to go Sara?"
"Sure. Night Guys don't stay here too late." The guys are confused but no one speaks up right away. Nick is the first one to speak up.
"So why does Sara need to leave?" "Cause Nicky my car wouldn't start today before shift and Catherine her was nice enough to pick me up on her way in." "ok bye girls"
Cath and I walk to her car as we get in we both relize that we aren't even buzzed and when we hit the brisk air of the day we both woke up.
"So do you want to just come stay at my place to get some sleep?"
"That works for me, lets just stop by my place so that I can get some clothing. I will work on my car later. Not like any mechanics are open today anyway. It being Sunday now. And since we both need to work tomorrow it would save you a trip"
"Well Lindsey is with her aunt for the weekend anyway. She took the kids to Lake Mead to go camping, since I had to work this weekend away anyways. So come stay at my place and we can get caught up about the last week since you haven't been over in a while."
"Okay makes sense. Let's go."
The drive was short my apartment isn't that far from the bar where the guys always pick. So we get there in under ten minutes. She waits in the car while I run around trying to find everything that I need. I just decide that instead of packing pajamas its easier to put them on. I grab what im going to need for tomorrow and run out of the apartment. I drop back into her car and we take off for her house. We walk in and she puts her keys on the counter.
"You want something to drink?" She askes as she walks up to her room. She returned in her pajamas as well. "We both might as well be comfy, so about that drink"
"Sure how about coffee?"
She starts moving around her kitchen as I make myself comfortable in the living room. I've been here before quite often when she needs someone to talk to she calls me.
"Here you go" she hands me a steaming cup we both settle down on the couch. She moves closer to me then normal but o well. She isn't having coffee she is sipping on what looks to be cranberry juice.
"So what are you drinking?"
"Vodka with Cranberry juice. You want one?"
"Sure might be better then coffee, since if I was drunk at the bar its gone now."
"Wow you actually want something other then coffee Miss Sara Sidle I don't believe it."
I now am laughing from the kitchen luckily she had left her ingredients out on the counter I don't think I would be able to tell where her liquor cupboard is. I mix mine pretty stiffly but yet I still can't taste the vodka I make a quick mental note that she likes top self vodka as well "Belvedere you have good taste in Vodka"
"Thanks. It's the only stuff that I will actually drink since you can't taste it when it mixed"
She snuggled back into me when I sit down again. I actually am liking this. Her hand moves over my shoulder lightly, mindlessly. I relax more into her. This seems so natural to me. She leans over and sucks on my earlobe. Oh god I think I just moaned.
"Well I like that response. We should move this into somewhere more comfortable."
"Cat are you sure? We have never talked about this at all. Ummm…" My brain is screaming at me that she is my coworker and she is one of my closet friends. What am I thinking this would never work. Oh wait she's talking I better tune back in
"Sara I'm positive." With that she gets up from the couch and pulls my in the direction of what I'm guessing is her bedroom. "I have liked you for a while and am I right to think that it might be reciprocated?"
"Yes but I never thought it would happen I though you were straight as a board?"
"Ha ha I thought you were as well I mean Hank and you're pinning over Grissiom"
"Well all I have seen you with is men as well, so what made you try that move back on the couch?"
"Sara just stop trying to make this make sense and kiss me."
I leaned in a kissed her with a ton of passion that comes from years of liking someone you thought you couldn't have. She kisses back with the same intensity.
I back her up until we can move anymore. As I push her onto the bed she has pulled my tank top up over my breasts and is just staring at them covered in bight red bra. I pull her shirt up and am greeted by a bright purple bra. We break our kiss long enough to get our tops off. Her hands move over my body until the come to rest on my lower back. My hands are caressing every exposed part of skin that she has. Her hands slowly release my bra and I'm working on getting hers off as well. Our bras go flying in the same direction and I take in the new site. Catherine is now laying on her bed her top exposed to the person she has wanted to have in her bed since she first laid eyes on her.
Sara's hands had minds of there own she reached up and held on tight to her new lovers breasts slowly she moved her mouth down tracing a slow path from her mouth to her chest and slowly working further down she dipped her tongue into Cats belly button and earned a low moan from Cat. As she reached the top of the pajama pants she could already smell her lovers scent. She slowly pulled down the pants and was met by the matching thong to the bra. She licked her lover through the lace of her panties. Cat's hips bucked. Sara decided that she wouldn't make her wait anymore. She slowly pulled her thong down her legs. As she did this she dove into Cat's koochie licking her from top to bottom. Her tongue settled on her clit while her fingers were pumping into her. "Oh, my, god, SARA" Within a few more minutes Cat was enjoying an intense orgasm. As she came down she realized that Sara was holding her just waiting until she recovered then it was Sara's turn to get pampered.
"That….was…amazing…Now it's your turn"
Catherine almost ripped Sara's pajama pants pulling them off of her. She noticed that Sara didn't wear underwear. "So commando" "I just don't…AH… wear them with…OH… pajama pants"
Catherine soon had Sara screaming and bucking her hips until her orgasm happened. Catherine moved up to hold her they both fell asleep…..
"Sara. SARA?"
I snap back from la la land. "Where have you been?"
"Just thinking about how we first got together a year ago."
"Oh yah that was one interesting night as I recall."
"Here's your salads and appetizers ladies." The waitress winked at Sara and left.
Catherine started eating her salad as she had the fork up to her mouth she realized that there was a purple box sitting on the table that the waitress had set down. She looked up at Sara. Sara went down on one knee. "Catherine Willows would you make me the happiest person in the world…would you marry me?"
"YES! Sara I would be honored to be your wife."
With that she stood up and pulled Sara up with her and gave her a very passionate kiss as Sara slide the ring on her engagement finger.
