Song lyrics - Where is your Heart, Kelly Clarkson
CSI Finding His Heart
By: Elizabeth Gentile
I don't believe
In the smile that you leave
When you walk away
And say goodbye
Well I don't expect
The world to move underneath me
But for God's sake
Could you try?
She lay in her bed, in their bed feeling tired and annoyed. She knew that sooner or later she would fall asleep but she wanted to fall asleep with the man she loved next to her. Sara
flipped over onto her left side and turned the lamp that was on the nightstand beside her on. The room glowed dimly as she blinked a couple of times, letting her eyes get used to the
light. She laid her head onto her pillow and waited, she didn't hear anything but she knew he was in the house. She sighed as she turned the lamp off and rolled back over onto her right
side. "This is ridiculous." She thought as she closed her eyes and let herself get the rest she needed.
Grissom finished signing the last form and placed it in the brown folder. He sighed as he leaned back, his head resting on the back of the couch. He drew up his arm and looked at the time
that was displayed on his watch, 12:36 p.m. He yawned as he picked up the heavy folder and placed it on the coffee table that was in front of him. He got up and stretched out his legs,
he noticed that Hank was already asleep in his little bed. "Maybe that's what I need, maybe I need sleep." Gil thought as he left the living room and headed to the kitchen to turn of the
light. After he did so, he left the kitchen and went into his bed room, their bedroom.
Gil woke up breathing heavily out through his nose and in through his mouth. He was sitting up in the bed and blinked as he tried to adjust his eyes to the darkness. He coughed and
started to calm down as he laid himself back, his head resting on his pillow. He looked over to his left side were Sara lay. Her brown hair swam over her pillow, her face emotionless and
pale. Gil felt safe. This was the only image in his life that made him feel safe. He leaned in and kissed Sara on the cheek. She moved her head, her eyes scrunching and then her face went
back to normal. He was afraid that he woke her up but he did. "Gil" Sara whispered, breaking the silence in the house. Grissom almost jumped, he was taken by surprise. "Yes Sara?" he
asked as he moved closer to her. She pulled her hand out from under the sheets and held his hand. He looked at their hands, hers were small, delicate and long and his were big and
rough. "Why didn't you come and lie down with me?" she asked, a pang of sadness filled her voice. Grissom's heart sank, "I'm sorry Hun, and I was doing paperwork." Sara looked at him
in the eye; her eyes were liquid brown balls of beauty. "You would rather to that then come and at least rest beside me for ten minutes?" Gil sighed, "I never said I would rather, I said I
was doing paperwork." Sara shook her head as she sat up in the bed, her tank top hung loosely around her. "I'm tired." She announced. Gil put his hand on Sara's back, "I'm tired too
honey, lie back down with me." Sara wanted to but she was peeved at Gil right now. "I got to get up." She proclaimed as she tried to leave the bed. "No" Gil said in a loud, demanding
voice that made Sara, himself and even the house fall eerie. "What?" Sara asked as she turned her head to look at him. "I said no." he whispered this time, his eyes melting with hers.
She stared at him for some time taking in what she loved. His deep blue eyes, his curly graying locks, his strong hands, some days it was all too much. "Fine, I'll stay." She responded as
she lay back down. Grissom held onto her waist with both arms. "I love you Sara." He whispered in her ear. "I don't believe you." Was all she could whisper back.
