Summary: Gil and Sara are together, forever, or are they?
Chapter One
Day three hundred and sixty-seven:
She was leaning against the door frame, her eyes staring lovingly at the man in a blissful slumber.
Should I say goodbye, and wake him up?
She shook her head and instead strolled quietly towards her side of the bed, propping the pillows up and also pulling the sheets up.
A distinctive hand pulled out, grabbing her, and pulling her face-first onto the bed.
She let out a laughing shriek, attempting to fight off her attacker who had by now, pinned her onto her back between the sheets.
Her laughter increased when he began to kiss her neck, hands holding her arms down in such a primal but caring way.
"You do realize that I was trying to make this bed...not-" She was cut off in mid talk as he placed his warm lips against hers, which inexorably silenced her full body.
He looked up with such affection staring deeply into her eyes. "Precisely", then gave her a smile.
She reached up and ran her fingers through his untamed locks, focusing intently on her ministrations as he watched her eyes.
She came to a sudden stop, as if remembering, and her face portrayed her seriousness as she looked at him.
"I have to go-"
"Already?"
"It's eight am..."
He let out a huff, and then sank down onto her, hugging her close. "Don't go..."
She let out a laugh and wrapped her arms around his waist. "If only it was that simple..."
He rolled over in disappointment, still staring intently at his partner.
Sara always felt responsible for his frustration. "I'll be back in fourteen days-"
"While I sit here in this dilapidated building doing absolutely nothing-"
Her guilt was depicted through her eyes; Gil's depicted sadness and pain.
She leaned in to kiss him, trying so hard to take away his pain.
If this wasn't rare, if she was with him day after day, he would intentionally not kiss her back. His constant frustration at their situation deprived him of his life, of which he was always carrying a grudge.
"It will be over soon; I promise" She once again reached her hand up to his hair, stroking the softness.
He let out a sarcastic laugh; it was the only promise of hers that he couldn't believe.
"Stay with me Sara, we can move, go some place where it's safe. The sea, you always go on about how you miss it. A nice beach house-"
She smiled sadly at his attempts to keep her with him, but she knew that this wouldn't do. She was too stubborn, too attached and she was determined to finish what someone else had started.
"No Gil. I'm going to find out who this person is. I can't just get up and go. The fact that he's still out there, capable of doing anything to anyone; especially you; I can't risk it. I can't risk losing you"
Her tears were crying out to be wiped away, so he leaned up and caringly rubbed them away.
"I know, I know. It's just so frustrating! This was supposed to be temporary…"
"At least you have not been attacked recently. You haven't had to move apartments in a year Gil. He thinks you're dead."
"I miss my work, I miss my freedom, and more importantly I miss our life we never got to share"
"We will have it soon, I promise. Greg's been helping me out a lot. We've got his DNA, we know his motive…Jim was thinking of doing another decoy-"
"NO!-" His anger in his statement made Sara jump; he was so protective of her. "I don't want you to get hurt Sara…that's why I'm here, so I won't get hurt. I just hope it won't happen to you too. And since I'm locked up here, I can't promise your safety…I can't protect you."
She smiled at his protective nature, it was so cute. She began to stroke his face, trying to calm him down. "Okay honey, I won't do anything too stupid"
He smiled cheekily, and joked; "I don't believe you, so I'll get Jim to sort you out"
She mocked her hurt, but carried on to reassure him that their heaven will be reached soon. "Only a few more people on the list Gil, and once we find him we can have the wedding, finish decorating the house…"
A cell began to ring in her pocket, interrupting her of her hopes for their future.
Her phone call consisted of 'yes', 'no', 'okay', and 'fine's, told him that it was probably Catherine telling her to hurry up.
"Catherine?" He asked when she began to sit up, putting her cell back into her jeans.
"Yes, she's says hello."
"Tell her she needs to visit; she's not been here in a few weeks…"
"I will. She's been busy with a high profile case-"
"Still working on the Colin's case?"
"Yeah, proving to be a little more complicated than thought. Anyway, she says that Martin is hunting me down…"
He let out a grunt- his jealousy of the new supervisor was not just professional- He was convinced Gordon had feelings for his fiancée.
She now stood where she was previously, leaning against the doorframe, staring intently at her lover lying in the large bed within the dark apartment.
"Jim said he'd be round tomorrow on his day off…maybe you could take him out a walk with Hank, you need to buy more groceries-"
"Okay honey I will, and I'll even inform the undercover cops…take it easy though; okay?" He began to walk towards Sara, wrapping his arm around her waist leading her out the bedroom towards the front door.
"I promise, I'll phone you tomorrow hopefully if Brass clears it"
She leaned in to kiss him, trying to drawl it out for as long as possible. "And remember to look after Hank for me!"
She bent down to hug the boxer, laughing when he began to lick her goodbye. Grissom looked on, wishing he could stay with Sara forever.
She was now out the door, with Gil leaning against the frame. Sara looked up at him; her serious demeanor conveyed how she was going to say something that she really meant.
"I'm going to find out who did this Gil. We're so close I can smell him." Her voice began to falter when he reached up to stroke her face. "I can't wait till we get rid of the constant watch of the police, the stalker, and I can't wait until you're home with me.
He leaned in and kissed her to silence her. She stopped him half way, when his lips were brushing hers; he spoke. "I'll be out of witness protection before you know it".
