Just So You KnowChapter 2

Okay so the Amanda character is me I do not live in Montana but whatever. I also do not live on a ranch but I think it would be kinda fun. Hope you enjoy!

A week later they all met up at the lab. Grissom volunteered to drive. They all pilled their stuff on the luggage rack and pilled in his vehicle. Greg and Lauren sat in the trunk. They went to the airport got all their stuff unloaded from the car and went in. They were soon on the plane. Their seats were in the center in rows of four. Warrick, Catherine, Sara, and Grissom in one row and behind them were Nick, Julie, Lauren, and Greg. Lauren and Greg were flirting and talking about how excited they were the whole plane ride. Nick and Julie made small talk. Nick told Julie they would have to go on a horseback ride together. Catherine fell asleep on Warrick's shoulder while he read a magazine. Grissom was reading one of his forensics magazines. Sara fell asleep and eventually her head ended up on Grissom's shoulder. It didn't bother him and she looked so peaceful so he let her sleep. He figured she hadn't gotten that much sleep anyway between being excited for the trip and not usually sleeping.

When the plane was about to land Grissom woke Sara up gently. She was kind of embarrassed at the fact that she was sleeping on his shoulder but he insisted that it was okay. They all buckled their seatbelts and prepared for landing.

When they landed they got their luggage and went to get two rental cars. Grissom had arranged for them to get rental cars knowing that they wouldn't want to be stuck at the ranch the whole time. Nick, Greg, Lauren, and Julie rode in one with Nick driving and Julie in the passenger seat. Grissom, Sara, Catherine, and Warrick rode in the other one. Grissom drove and Sara sat in the passenger seat. They drove out to the ranch and when they got there a beautiful redhead that seemed to be the oldest daughter in the family that lived there greeted them.

"Good afternoon. My name is Amanda. May I ask who Mr. Grissom is?" said the beautiful redhead.

Grissom walked forward, "I am. Its just Grissom thank you."

"Well its nice meeting you. If you will all follow me I can give you the grand tour and show you to your rooms."

They followed Amanda getting the grand tour. Greg and Lauren walked hand in hand. Nick and Julie did as well. Amanda showed them the living room and the dinning room. There was a pool and then they eventually got to the rooms. There were four rooms down the hall, two on either side. Nick and Julie claimed theirs and took their keys. Greg and Lauren took the one next to Nick and Julie and got their keys. Warrick, Catherine, Sara, and Grissom stood in the hall staring at each other. "So… Who's with who?" asked Sara.

"I don't care you guys decide," said Grissom.

"Fine I call Warrick," said Catherine grabbing two keys and Warrick's arm and shoving him into the room and closing the door behind her.

"I guess its you and me then," said Grissom taking Sara's luggage and walking into the last room to be claimed.

Everyone started to unpack once they got in their room. No one had realized that each room had two beds until they entered. Grissom had left out that small detail.

"This is a nice place you picked, Griss," said Sara as she unpacked her things.

"Yeah it is. We can ride horses. We can sit around a campfire. I think there is even a swimming hole out in the woods somewhere," said Grissom as he too unpacked his things.

"Sounds like fun."

When everyone finished unpacking they met up in the living room. They all were talking about how much fun they were going to have in the next couple days. Amanda walked in and said, "Hey guys. Looks like you're all settled in. Are you all hungry?"

"Oh yea," said Greg and Nick.

They all stood up and followed Amanda to the huge dinning room. They sat down with Amanda's family and had a wonderful home cooked meal.

When they finished they all went back to the living room. They had a few drinks and talked. When it started getting late they started to go back to their rooms and go to sleep.

That night Sara woke up in a cold sweat. She had had a nightmare. She sat up and looked over towards the bed Grissom was sleeping in. He hadn't stirred at all. She got up out of bed and walked out on to the balcony they had. They view was beautiful even in the middle of the night. She heard the door behind her open and she just kept starring into the night sky. "What are you doing up?" asked Grissom in a sleepy voice.

"Bad dream," she said quietly.

"Oh, you want to talk about it?"

"No I'm fine. You seem tired go back to bed. I'll be back in in a few minutes."

Grissom was standing next to here in a white t-shirt and his boxers. He was close to her. She could feel the heat from his body on hers. "That's fine I'll stay out here with you," he said turning to look at her with a grin on his face. She looked at him just as he turned his head to look back up at the stars where she had been starring. She smiled and then turned and looked back at the stars. A few minutes later and Sara started to shiver. "Cold?"

"Yeah a little. I think I'm going back in," said Sara turning to go back inside. Grissom opened the door for her. She walked in and he followed closing the door behind him. Sara went to bed and crawled under the covers. Grissom smiled a little and crawled into his bed and under the covers. "Night Griss."

"Night Sara." They went back to sleep.

The next morning everyone met in the dinning room to have breakfast. They all helped out with the family's morning chores. Guys helped out outside on the ranch, while the girls helped by cleaning their rooms and cleaning up after breakfast. When all the chores were done the guys all took showers while the girls were in the living room by the fireplace drinking coffee and talking.

"So did everyone sleep well last night?" asked Catherine.

"I did," said Julie and Lauren in unison.

"How about you Sara, did you sleep well?"

"Yes actually I did," said Sara thinking about the night before. "Did you?"

"Yeah I did too," said Catherine trying to hide her grin behind her coffee cup. Her and Warrick had gotten closer the night before.

The guys all walked in and joined the ladies pouring themselves coffee. Nick put his arm around Julie and they drank their coffee and made small talk. Greg and Lauren were talking. Warrick put his arm around Catherine and talked with her. Grissom sat in the chair that was next to the chair Sara sat in and drank his coffee. Eventually, Lauren and Greg decided to go for a walk; Nick and Julie went for a horseback ride; Warrick and Catherine went to the hot tub; leaving Grissom and Sara alone in the living room.

"Did you sleep well after you went back to bed last night?" asked Grissom.

"Yes I did," answered Sara taking the last sip of her coffee.

"That's good."

"Yeah… Uh… I think I'm going to go read or something in the room. Talk to you later."

"Yeah talk to you later," said Grissom drinking the last of his coffee and standing to put the mug away. He sat quietly in the living room alone for a while.
