A/N This takes place during the case of the cross dressing carp.. the proposal scene. My take on the thoughts running through Sara's head at the time... it's unbetaed so the mistakes are mine, the people however are not...
"Maybe we should get married"
Did he just say what I think he said?
Yes, yes oh god yes… words keep running through my head, but the only thing that comes out is "Ow!"
That would be right, the guy just asked the biggest question ever.. Well, ever since "Maybe we should get a dog" or "Maybe you should move in" and I get stung by a bee!
For a guy who is so sure of himself at work and so assured of his abilities to teach, he doesn't trust himself too much… "Maybe we should have dinner"
I giggled, reminiscing. Here I am, a bee sting in my hand, and it hurts, and I am thinking about his "maybe" questions.
Now he's talking about venom… 30 seconds ago I'm sure he asked me to marry him and now he's talking about venom.
This is just great.. It sums up our relationship perfectly. Some women would not be happy with a proposal without a grand gesture, like hot air balloons and champagne at dawn, or a 5 carat diamond ring, that they had chosen before being asked.
Here we are, under ugly black shade cloth, in the middle of an experiment, his bees swarming around, and dressed in stupid apiary suits, and Gil asks me to marry him.
He is scraping the barb out of my hand with such tenderness. Maybe.. Oh God, I'm doing it now… Maybe he wasn't really asking, maybe (I really have to stop all this maybe-ing) he was just throwing out the idea, but….. we do have a dog, we do have dinner together, and we do live together.
"So what do you think" he asks barely lifting his face to mine
"Yes.." The word flowed unchecked, but I couldn't see his eyes. Oh honey I need to see your eyes.. He looks up and our eyes meet. Yes Oh yes. I'd have said yes if we were sitting in front of a decomposing pig…
"Yeah?" he asks with a slight grin
"Let's do it!"
Part of me wants to run to Nick at remind him that I am not anti- marriage, just anti-stupid… then I realize just how stupid we must look trying to kiss with apiary headdress
…. grin… Grissom just asked me to marry him… giggle
