Tales of Love

Nick was walking down the hall to get a fresh cup of coffee when he heard women's laughter. He was definitely surprised to see Sara and Catherine looking as if they didn't have a care in the world.

"Evening ladies, what's so funny?" He asked them on his way to continue his mission for caffeine.

"Hi. Nothing really. Sara was telling me one of her tales of romance. So I told her one of mine." Catherine shared despite Sara's glare. Nick proceeded to sit down and no one knew that Grissom was in the hall and had heard Catherine's answer.

"Enlighten me and I will share one of mine."

"Go ahead Catherine." Sara prompted. She wasn't in the mood to share with Nick. Catherine pared a dirty look back at her. Then she had an idea.

"Sara shared a hot candlelit bath with someone and he fed her chocolate." Knowing that she was in trouble, Catherine had started her exit as soon as she had begun talking. Sara decided retaliation was better.

"Eddie dressed up as a cowboy to rescue the damsel in distress when they first got married." Nick was laughing so hard, he almost fell out of his chair. Sara sat back down with a satisfied smirk on her face.

Catherine was fuming. When she left the room, Grissom had caught her and put a finger to his lips. After hearing what Sara had told Nick, she not only learned her lesson, but was angry and embarrassed in equal parts. Grissom kept a firm grip on her and led her back into the room.

"Doesn't feel too good, does it?" Sara asked calmly in reference to the over share they had both done moments ago. Catherine shook her head and relaxed enough that Grissom let her go.

"Place nice ladies." He warned them and retrieved his own cup of coffee.

"Gil, I know you heard us, that means you have to share now." Catherine challenged him. Sara immediately backed her up.

"You might want to do that before Warrick and Greg get back from their scene. Sara had moved to block the door. He looked around the room and saw all eyes on him.

"It's easy. My idea of romance is to be with someone who loves me; faults and all." Sara was swooning on the inside and knew that he was deliberately avoiding eye contact. She took the focus off of him and put it back on Nick.

"Your turn Nick." Sara reminded him.

"Alright, after I find the woman I want to be with, I want to travel with her to somewhere exotic and make it feel like a rendezvous. It's one of my fantasies and it will stay that way until I get married. I need to be with someone I can trust."

"That is so sweet. I wish Eddie was more like that." Catherine put her hand over her heart and smiled. Sara and Grissom were noticeably quiet.

"Make sure that your partner isn't afraid to play and completely immerse herself in the role. It's more fun that way." Sara had advised. Grissom got up to close the door. Catherine and Nick looked at her suspiciously.

"You've done something like that before?" Nick asked her. Grissom moved to a new seat next to Sara and answered the question.

"Yes, Nick, we have. Where do you think we both were last week?" Sara pulled a chain out of her shirt and from it dangled two gold rings. Grissom pulled out a matching chain from his neck. The newlyweds wore cautious smiles and put away their rings while Catherine and Nick sat frozen. Nick even had his mug halfway to his lips.

The End??
