CSI
Sara, they're a call for you on line one." called Grissom with vice that could cover up his whole personality.
"Thanks." said Sara with a voice that Grissom hated to hear.
Sara had seemed to just fallen out of love with him in the few months. Whenever Grissom heard her voice it was as if she wasn't ever herself.
"Hello?" she said into the phone.
"Hi, Sara, its Jack Morris, do you remember me?' he asked with his old, soft, natural voice that used to always calm her down.
"J-Jack, what are you calling me for?" she mumbled.
"I, I thought that we could maybe go out for a cup of coffee." he answered.
"I usually get coffee with Grissom." She replied.
"Oh, him. Are you still hooked on him?" he asked with a lousy voice.
"No, we were never together and never will be." exclaimed Sara with hope in her voice.
"Well, then can we please go out! There's no harm in going to get a cup of coffee! It'll just you and I, friends going out." He said sweetly.
"Okay, sure. What time?" she gave in.
"Well, how about in fifteen minutes? I'll pick you up?" he suggested thoughtfully.
"O-Okay." She said hanging up.
She truthfully thought that she didn't want Grissom to see Jack. He had known of there previous relationship and she still didn't know what was going on between them.
"Grissom, I'm taking a early lunch, but I'll be back soon." She said walking past his office
"Sara, I need you for the new Carry case." He replied with anger.
"I'm meeting an old friend." She said and walked away without hearing his response. She was afraid that he would stop her and she would have to explain.
"Sara, come back here!" yelled Grissom.
She turned around with tears in her eyes. They had just fallen out for a reason she could not explain.
"Sara, what's wrong?" he asked while holding her hand.
She just pulled her hand away and ran. Jack's car pulled up and she just opened the door and slammed it as fast as she could because she knew that Grissom would come out after her.
"What's wrong Sara?" he asked referring to the tears in her eyes.
Realizing her tear she quickly lied. "oh, I just stubbed my toe." she responded.
"Where are we going to go" she said trying to change the subject.
"How about Casino coffee?" suggested Jack. He thought that this was a good place that they could talk with few people around.
"Sure, that sounds great.
There was an awkward silence for a few minutes, but finally Jack broke with asking how she was dong in her job.
"Oh, well, I'm doing really well! I didn't get the promotion, but I think Nick, you know really deserved." She said with a hint of jealousy. She was had been very mad at Grissom for not giving her the promotion because he knew that she had needed extra money.
"So where did you go after you took off with Emma?" Sara asked blankly.
"You know I didn't love as much as I loved you, right?" he asked with concern.
"Why did go? I thought we were going to get married?" she said. She had gotten hurt. Really hurt. Jack and her had planned to get married in the next, but then when he was headed to Chicago, for a meeting he had fallen in love with another woman he met and they had never came back. All that Sara got was a couple letters that explained what had happened.
"So did I, but you kept getting more involved with Grissom's life and less into mine! I thought that you were concentrating the love for him onto me!" exclaimed Jack.
"he was having troubles with his hearing! He needed help! Did you notice how much I loved being at home! That was where you were! Then you left!" yelled Sara with tears in her eyes. They had stop at a red light and Sara jumped out of the car and walked quickly towards the closes shop.
"Sara!" yelled Jack while parking his car and getting out.
"Sara, I'm sorry! I thought I was crazy in love!" exclaimed Jack.
"So did I! But with you!" answered Sara loudly.
She stopped and gave Jack a look that could make anyone cry. Jack walked towards her and kissed. She kissed him back. But in Sara's mind she was imagining kissing Grissom.
"Do you think we would have gotten married if I had stayed?" asked Jack curiously.
"I don't know. Would have ever stayed?" asked Sara.
"Sara, you know loved you! I still do!" exclaimed jack.
"I think, I love you too." she said doubtfully.
She walked closer to him and they kissed each other.
"Ready for a cup of coffee?" he laughed.
"Only if we don't talk there!" she replied. They got their coffee and went to his new apartment that he had just bought yesterday. Sara still felt like she was getting into something that she would regret, but Grissom and her were over. She had been trying to forget Grissom and move on. She had changed herself around him, so he would leave her alone. Whenever she talked to him she began to feel so much mixed feelings she needed to stay away from him. Bu the truth was whenever she was away from Grissom her hearted felt alone, but when she was with him she felt she couldn't stand life with him, because of his oppose feelings.
"Sara, I know this is kind of sudden but can I ask you something?" he said quietly
"Okay." She said with her heart pounding. She knew what he was going to say that they should get married she didn't know if she was ready for that yet.
"Sara, I still love you and I feel that you love me too! Will you marry me?" he asked sweetly. He felt wrong. She loved Grissom.
"I-I don't know. Can I think about it?" she asked with a sorry face.
"Of course. I know it was so soon, but I feel like I'm not complete with you! You can have as much time as you need, but if your answer is no, then I leave for Miami, because I was offered a really good job." He explained.
" Okay, I'll think about it, I, uh better be leaving now." she said picking up her coat.
"Goodbye." said Jack.
"Goodbye Jack." She said turning her head around. She closed the door and walked down stairs with tears in her eyes. If she married him she would always wonder what would have happened with Grissom and her. But would anything ever happen? She kept asking herself that. She walked back to the office to see if she could help with any new cases.
"Catherine. Can I tell you something?" she asked.
"Of course, is something wrong?" she asked sympathetically.
"Not really. Jack came back and he, well, he asked me to marry him!" she explained.
"oh, wow, do still love him? What about the stuff that was happening with Grissom and you?" she asked. Sara knew that she couldn't tell Catherine, even if she was her closest friend.
"It's over with Grissom and me. I think I love him!" she explained.
"You really should think about it! I can't help you!" she said friendly.
"Okay," sara said walking away.
"Uh, Grissom, I need to tell you something!" said Catherine.
"Okay." he said blankly.
"Jack came back, he asked Sara to marry her." She said straight forward.
"What? He came back? What did Sara say?" asked Grissom.
"Slow down! She said she would think about it! She said you and her were over and to you that's seems different!" she said trying to back up Sara.
"I know, it is over, but that guy broke her heart once and he could do it again! I'll have to talk to Sara!" he exclaimed.
"No Grissom, don't! That will only make things worse!" she fought.
"Excuse me." said Sara walking in.
"Sara, hi, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. I really don't think you should marry Jack! Remember that he broke our heart once and he can do it again!" yelled Grissom.
"Catherine, why did you tell him? And Gill, it's my life and I already told jack I would marry him and I'm sticking to that!" whaled Sara walking out of the room. She ran right to Jack's apartment.
"Jack?" she said.
"Yes, Sara is that you?" he asked.
Yes, Jack, I'll marry you! I don't why I ever needed to think about it!" she said hugging him.
"I love you!" she said.
"I love you too!" he said.
