Heya everyone! I know it's been a long time since I posted anything. I've hit a road block with the other stories. But don't worry, they're getting written. What I'm going to be doing is writing out the rest of the stories before I post any more chapters. That way I'm not tempted to change how I want them to be. So this is a new story that I started a while ago, and I've already written about 15 chapters of it. There will be one chapter every two weeks, and I'll be posting Sunday nights. Hope you enjoy, now for GSR…

Lost In the Moment
Part 1
"Grissom" Ecklie started, trying to get his attention. "We have a meeting with the sheriff in an hour."
"Yes Conrad, I am aware." Grissom continued on his journey to his office.
Sitting down at his desk, he looked at the stack of files that is piling up that he'll eventually have to get finished. With little time before the meeting, he takes a stack of files and starts going through them.
An hour later, there was a knock on his door, "Grissom, it's time for the meeting."
"I'm just finishing up Conrad, I'll be there."
Ecklie backed out of the office doorway and headed to the sheriff's office.
Grissom moved over the files that he had finished and made his way to the sheriff's office.
Knocking gently on the ajar door, he pushed it open slightly. Seeing a brunette sitting in one of the chairs, he questioned whether this was the right meeting.
"Come on in Gil, we're just chatting." The sheriff said.
"Sorry I'm late."
"Gil, this is Sara Sidle from San Francisco," the sheriff turned to Sara, "Sara, this is—"
"Dr. Gilbert Grissom, world renowned entomologist." Sara cut him off.
The sheriff looked between the two, "Oh so you know each other."
Sara nodded slowly. "Not well, but we know of each other."
Grissom, who was still trying to sort everything out, was staring at Sara, "What are you doing here?" came out of his mouth so fast that he didn't have time to stop it.
Sara visibly tensed; she knew it wouldn't be a happy welcoming. Right when she was about to respond the sheriff started talking "Gil, that's why we are having this meeting. Sara is the new CSI at our Lab, but she doesn't care which shift she works on, so we are going to decide. Right now we have to decide where she wants to go, and then I'll be hiring another CSI for the opposite shift."
Grissom starred at Sara through the whole meeting, not paying any attention to what the sheriff was saying.
"Well thank you for coming in. I'm really glad I got to meet you, Sara. Take into consideration everything we discussed, and let me know what you decide." The sheriff placed out his hand, and Sara shook it.
"Thank you, I'll let you know once I decide." Sara said, as she turned to walk out.
Grissom stayed sitting there, now looking at the sheriff. There was several minutes of silence before Grissom said, "Who offered her a job here?"
"It was a group decision, involving the undersheriff, Conrad, Jim, and I."
"Then she shouldn't be able to choose whose shift she'll be on if I didn't have say in hiring her."
"Gil, is there a problem?"
Grissom stood, "Let me know what she decides." And with that, Grissom exited the room, heading to his office to pack up and leave.
An hour later, after having gone to the grocery store, Grissom pulled into the driveway of his townhouse. Picking up the perishables and his briefcase, he walked to the front door.
"Why are you here?"
She sat still against the wall for several moments before looking up. Grissom saw her tear-streaked face "Come in, I'll make some breakfast." Grissom said as he moved past her to unlock his front door.
Unlocking the door his pushed it open to let her inside.
"Still haven't changed, have you Gil?"
Grissom put his briefcase in his office, came back out to the foyer where he dropped his keys on an end table and hung his coat. He turned to look at her, "according to you, no I haven't." Grissom moved to the kitchen and started making omelets. While getting the pan out, he reiterated what he said earlier, "Why are you here Sara?"
She had been looking at the butterfly cases that were mounted on the walls, she came over and sat on one of the stools in front of the breakfast bar, "I wanted to see you."
Grissom froze.
"I know that I left you, but I've missed you." Sara said softly.
"What changed? You left me, Sara. You left." Grissom said slowly, getting angry.
Sara knew that he would be angry, she walked over to where he was standing. She stood right in front of him, "the thing that changed was that I realized that I can't spend my life without you." Sara hesitantly stepped forward, asking for permission. When Grissom took her hand and helped her take the next step forward, she took that as permission, but before she could kiss him, he kissed her.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and he deepened the kiss, letting his tongue slide along her lower lip, seeking entrance, which she willingly obliged.
Forgetting about breakfast, Grissom lead them upstairs to the bedroom, stumbling up the stairs, trying to get as many clothes off in the process without breaking contact.
