Chapter 1

Sara awoke from a deep slumber, and opened her eyes to glance towards the clock resting on her night stand. The time 20:00 blinked back at her. Sara rubbed her eyes and looked back 20:00 'couldn't be' Sara thought 'There is just no way I slept for that long!' Sara shifted in her bed, pulling the cotton comforter around her which caused something to mumble beside her. Suddenly Sara was wide awake; memories of the previous night/morning flooded her brain and a 'Sara' smile spread across her face. The arm resting across her stomach moved slowly upwards and pulled her back towards a warm body.

"Good Morning" a voice mumbled into her hair.

Sara slowly turned over, praying this was not a dream and that the movement would not wake her from it. Sara, now facing the voice smiled brightly and replied

"Good morning to you to."

"Very good morning." Mumbled the voice as it leaned in to gently kiss her neck, slowly moving its way up towards her face. Sara's smile grew, she placed her hands on either side of the mans face and pulled it up level to her own. She stared into the bright blue eyes level with hers, his eyes shinning with happiness. He lifted his hand from the mattress and stroked her cheek tenderly.

"Tell me I'm not dreaming" Sara whispered up into his face. A chuckle was her only reply, and the only sound that filled the room. Gently a hand ran down her cheek and she was granted a reply

"No, Sara honey you are not dreaming now, and before you ask nor were you dreaming this morning."

Sara released a breath she hadn't realised she had been holding

"Thank God" she sighed

"I thought we had established that you were not religious?"

Sara laughed and cupped her lovers face "very funny"

Suddenly there was movement and the man rolled out of bed, standing up and stretching allowing Sara a few short moments to stare at the naked butt before her 'mmm very nice, can't believe I finally got to touch that this morning, slid my…'

"Are you staring at my butt Sara?"

Sara was blushing, she could feel her cheeks burn and turn red.

"m m m yes, yes I was."

Another chuckle filled the room. The bed sunk as her lover knelt and leaned forward to kiss her cheek.

"You look so cute when you're flustered."

This comment rewarded him a light punch to the chest.

"Ow sorry."

Sara leaned forward placing her lips just below his ear and whispered

"You can make it up to me later."

"After work?"

"Uh, yeah I guess we should go into work."

"Yeah, the team may get a little suspicious if we don't."

"Well I don't think they would miss me much but they might need there supervisor."

Grissom leaned down and nuzzled Sara's neck.

"Catherine can supervise; actually I'm sure she would be happy if I called in sick so she could be the boss lady for a while. I think she misses the power."

Sara chuckled and replied

"Then she would come round and check on you."

"I'm not at home; she will have a hard job."

"Oh and that wouldn't be at all suspicious now would it!"

"Ok, ok your right; guess that means we should get ready to go to work."

"Griss, honey have you seen the time? We have hours before work."

"Oh, m, so we do. Well in that case…"

"You're come back to bed?" Sara replied suggestively

"Well I was going to say I would make breakfast but I just can't resist you." Grissom replied whilst scrambling across the bed towards her.

"You managed for years." Sara mumbled.

Grissom bolt up quickly and looked at Sara, pain evident in his eyes. Sara looked up towards him and guilt tugged at her heart, she hadn't meant for him to hear her.

"Griss, I'm sorry, I know we discussed this I'm sorry. I know your reasons I accept them. It's fine. Things between us are fine. I'm happy, god I'm so happy to finally be with the man I love. O good god did I just say the 'l' word! I'm sorry, well I'm not sorry its true but I totally understand if you're not ready to say it yet, geez please don't back away from me oh…"

"Sara, Sara calm down. SARA!"

Sara stopped mid sentence and stared up at Grissom. She expected him to look shocked, scared angry dahm anything but the emotion she currently saw swimming in his eyes." He placed his hands delicately on her hips and spoke gently to her.

"Sara its ok. I know I hurt you, I don't expect things to be ok so soon we've only been together 2 weeks and well m…its ok…I mean what you said about loving me, its ok really. I guess I knew you did. I'm not going to say it back, and it's not because I don't feel it but because I want to tell you how I feel in my own time, in my own way not because of your ramblings." Sara peered into his eyes, unsure whether he what he was saying was true. Suddenly another thought struck her. 'OH MY GOD did he just say he loved me? Or was it just a nice way of saying I don't feel the same way…? I can not believe I just screwed up the perfect morning, well I guess evening technically but it counts as my morning after.'

"Sara? Sara dear what are you mumbling about?"

Grissom sat staring at Sara who had looked away from him and was currently looking down at her hands mumbling incoherently. Grissom placed his hands gently on the sides of her face and pulled it up so he was looking directly into her eyes.

"Sara listen its alright I promise. I swear I am not going to back away; you have to trust me on that. I would not have asked you out to dinner if I planned on shutting you out again."

"I'm sorry Griss; I do trust you, so much. I trust you with my life and more importantly I trust you with my heart."

Grissom smiled his slow lazy smile and bent forward to kiss Sara. Just as his lips were about to reach the desired destination of her lips a hand flew up between them and planted itself fully over Sara's mouth. Grissom sat back and looked at Sara with a raised eyebrow, confusion etched across his face.

"Sara…" He began but was cut short by the women before him.

"Morning breath."

"Sara, you are a scientist you should know that two negatives cancel each other out and seeing as I haven't brushed my teeth either that also makes me a negative."

"This is so different and you know it. I am going to freshen up." With that she was up out of bed and sauntering of towards the bathroom leaving Grissom staring at her bare back.
