Las Vegas, Nevada 1882
There was a saloon in town where 5 men were playing poker at a table when the sheriff came in and saw them. He walked over to their table.
"Gentlemen" said Sheriff Ecklie.
"Sheriff Ecklie, how are you?" asked Jim Brass who was sitting at the table playing poker with the men.
"Doing good how about yourself?" asked Sheriff Ecklie.
"Well not so good; it seems I am about to lose all my money here." said Jim with a grin.
"Well Jim if you would learn how to play you would win." said another player at the table
named Gil Grissom.
"Come on guys, less talk more play" said Warrick Brown who was also in the game at the table
"You just want to rush the game so you can run off with our money. We know how you work Warrick." said the fourth player at the table named Nick Stokes.
"I have as much luck in cards as I do in women." said the youngest man at the table named Greg Sanders.
"It's ok Greg, he is beating all of us not just you." said Jim.
"When the last game was over Gil Grissom ended up winning the whole pot.
"How did you pull that off Grissom?" asked Nick smiling.
"That is my secret friend I will never tell." said Grissom smiling and collecting his money from the table.
On the way out the door a stagecoach pulled up letting out 2 ladies a brunette and a blonde as they went for their bags.
"Please, allow me help you with that" said Grissom to the brunette. When she nodded shyly, he grabbed her bags and followed her to the hotel. Warrick walked up to the blonde lady and offered his assistance.
"Ma'am might I help you with that?" said Warrick smiling. She smiled and nodded.
She followed him into the hotel.
When Grissom and the brunette entered the hotel she walked to the desk.
"I have a reservation under the name Sidle" the brunette said.
"Yes ma'am a Sara Sidle; am I correct?" asked the desk clerk
"Yes that's correct." said the brunette. She turned to the man holding her bags.
"Thank you for your help sir" said Sara.
"My name is Gil Grissom and it's my pleasure to help you." said Grissom with a smile
"My name is Sara, as you heard before." said Sara blushing.
"Well Sara, it's nice to meet you. Would you like to maybe go to dinner with me?" asked Gil.
"Sure, where do I meet you?" asked Sara,
"I will meet you here at 6 o'clock, ok?." said Gil smiling.
"Ok, I will be ready in room 7. Gil I will see you later." said Sara smiling and thinking how she couldn't wait to see him again, those gorgeous blue eyes that are hypnotizing.
"My GOD I am falling in love with a man I barely know. Maybe I will get lucky with him. I am so tired of being heartbroken." said Sara to herself when she was alone in her room.
Gil was at home getting cleaned up with Jim there.
"I can't believe I am going to dinner with a gorgeous girl tonight." said Gil smiling.
"Oh yeah, who would this gorgeous girl be my friend?" asked Jim smiling.
"A lady who came in on the stagecoach this afternoon." said Gil grinning ear to ear.
"Hitting up stagecoaches now my friend?" said Jim laughing.
"No, I walked out of the saloon after our game and saw her fighting with her luggage; so I walked up to her and helped her with it." Gil said smiling from the memory.
"Warrick also met a lady. He told me. " said Jim.
"Yes, there was another lady on the stagecoach. Warrick got her luggage for her." said Gil as he finished getting ready.
"Well, I am ready; wish me luck Jim." said Gil as they headed out his door.
"I wish you all the luck in the world my friend." said Jim smiling.
Gil paused at the door. "Hey, by the way how are you and Dottie doing?" asked Gil smiling.
"Great; she is a wonderful lady. I love her so much; I don't know what I would do without her." said Jim grinning from ear to ear.
"That's great but I better head on out, Jim see you later buddy." said Gil jumping on his horse.
"Ok, but don't do anything I wouldn't do." Jim said smiling.
"Oh, don't worry, my plans are all good." said Gil as he rode off towards town.
When Gil arrived back in town, he tied up his horse and headed straight for the hotel. He walked inside, straight for Sara's room and knocked. She opened the door in pants and a shirt, quite uncharacteristic for a woman to dress in this fashion.
"I hope you don't mind I, hate wearing dresses." said Sara smiling and pulling on her boots.
"No, I don't mind; you still look beautiful. I bet you would look good in anything or nothing at all." said Gil blushing.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" said a flirty Sara.
"I would love to know." said Gil to her looking into her eyes.
"Let's get to know each other first, ok?" said Sara seeing pure want in his eyes.
"Sure." said Gil, smiling and giving her his arm to hold onto as they leave them room on their way to the saloon for dinner.
In the mean time, Nick and Greg are still in the saloon drinking. As Gil and Sara walk in, the two men approach them and say,
"Wow Grissom, where did you find her?" asked a drunken Nick.
"You got anymore like her there I want one." a drunken Greg said.
"Gentlemen, I suggest you go home and sleep it off." said an aggravated Grissom.
"We are just getting started; excuse me I see a lady wanting me. " said Nick staggering away.
"She is wanting me. Nick, wait up" said Greg staggering away.
Gil turned to Sara in disgust and said, "I am sorry about that; they are really harmless.
They work on my ranch they are good men, believe me. The blonde one is Greg and the brown haired one is Nick." said Gil.
"Right, they are good horny men." said Sara laughing.
"You can say that again." said Gil smiling; thinking he was a little too since seeing her in those skin tight jeans and shirt and boots.
They sat down and ordered drinks and food and continued to talk.
"So, Gil, you own a ranch with horses and cattle?" asked Sara.
"Yes, I do. Would you like to see it sometime?" asked Gil.
"Sure; I've always wanted to ride a horse but I've never gotten to do it." said Sara with a sad look in her face.
"Well I tell you what; when you come out to the ranch, you and I will go horseback riding." said Gil smiling.
"That would be great! Thank you Gil." said Sara with a big smile all giddy thinking about spending time with Gil.
"So how long you in town for?" asked Gil hoping for an answer of awhile not a few short days together.
"I am not sure yet. I am kind of looking for a place to live now. I'm trying to escape from the town where my family was killed by a bunch of Indians. I hid that's why I am still alive." said Sara looking away to try to hide her tears.
"I am sorry to hear about your family, you know I got an extra room at the ranch to save you paying for the hotel; and if you would like to save your money, I won't charge you anything. You could just help around the house; it could use a ladies touch." said Gil and taking her hand in his.
"I appreciate that; but I really don't know that much about you to live in your home." said Sara a little nervous.
"What would you like to know? I am an open book." said Gil with a wink.
"Well, do you have a big ranch?" asked Sara.
"Well I like to think it is. I have a four thousand acre spread, I raise horses and cattle I have lot of other animals too. Such as chickens, pigs and ducks. "Gil saying this with the proud look.
"Do you live alone?" asked Sara wanting to know if there was another woman involved.
"Yes, in the main house beside my dog Hank; I do have guys that work the ranch with me in the bunk house, but other then that, I'm alone." said Gil knowing what she was getting at.
"No lady at home with you? You have got to be kidding me?" said Sara shocked.
"Nope. I haven't met the right one yet." said Gil looking shy.
"What do you look for in a lady Gil?" asked Sara wondering if she had a chance with him.
"Well I like a woman shy, but not too shy. She has to be a loving and compassionate lady; one not afraid to let her true feelings show. She isn't afraid to tell the truth. A lady who will love me for who I am and not what I have." said Gil hoping he read her correctly.
"Well I don't know how you did it; but you got me down perfect." said Sara smiling.
"Really? Wow then would you like to go out again sometime?" asked Gil hoping for a yes.
"Sure, I would love to. I would really love to see that ranch sometime." said Sara smiling knowing he was interested in her.
"How about anytime you like we will go, heck, we can go right now if you want." said Gil wanting to share his home with her.
"How would I go; I don't have a horse." Sara said disappointed.
"Honey, you can ride on my horse with me. Old Roy is a healthy steed, it's not far from town." said Gil smiling.
"Ok, would we be back before dark?" asked Sara.
"I doubt it, but you can always stay the night and I could bring you back tomorrow." Gil told her taking her hand.
"Ok, I guess that would be fine since we have gotten acquainted some and I feel safer around you now. I would love to see what it's like to ride on a horse. I never rode on one before." said Sara with a smile.
A man walks up to Gil and Sara.
"Well Gil how are you doing? I see you have company." said Doc Robbins.
"I'm doing really good Doc, how about you?" said Gil looking at Doc
"I'm doing good Gil who might your lady friend be?" asked Doc.
"This is Sara, Doc; she is new in town." said Gil.
"Well hello Sara, my name is Al Robbins. I am the Doctor in town. I admit that I overheard your conversation earlier with Gil. You have nothing to fear with Gil honey; he is a true gentleman. He wouldn't hurt a flea unless it was a threat to him or others, so you are safe honey." said Doc.
"Thanks Doc. that makes me feel a lot better to hear a friend talk about Gil that way." said Sara smiling and taking Gil's hand.
"See you later doc." said Gil.
"Alright you to take care." said Doc.
"We will you to doc." said Gil.
As they stepped outside the saloon Gil asked her,
"Would you like anything from the hotel before we leave?" asked Gil.
"No, I have all I need right here." said Sara looping her arm through Gil's.
"So do I honey, so do I. " said Gil with a wink.
"Gil do you believe in love at first sight?" asked Sara.
"Yes I do." said Gil smiling.
"Because I fell in love with you right from hello." said Sara with a smile.
"That's funny, so did I honey. I knew I wanted you from the start. You make me feel like a different person inside and I like it." said Gil smiling.
"Well let's get onboard old Roy and get home before sunset shall we?" Gil said with a wink.
