Catherine stared at Sara, "something you wanna tell me?" She thought, over and over again.
"No, there's nothing" Catherine lied. Her usual bright grin hiding the aching feeling.
Sara shrugged and took a long sip of her coffee. For some reason, her mind was telling her there was something; an annoying stick was poking her in the side and telling herTo wake up and smell the cath smelling coffee. But of course she did nothing.
"I'm going to go see Grissom, I think I heard him out there" Sara said and directed her gaze to the door.
Catherine nodded and slumped back into the chair. "Life sucks" she mumbled to herself. Strands of smooth, blonde hair settled in front of her eyes. Her mood was souring by the second, and watching her dear Sara leave made things far, far worse.
Sometimes she hated this obsession she had, her feelings were getting stronger each time she saw the rare smile Sara shone so brightly, she loved the way her heart skipped a beat as she reached out to get a piece of evidence which was close to her.She truly hated the way Sara could stop the world from spinning and suck every thought from her mind and leave her a blank, blonde blob.
"Cathy?" Greg whined as he walked in to make some coffee. He was going to need it with the latest case Grissom had assigned the team to.
Catherine looked up to the bright and concerned friend of hers, she gave him a half smile and gestured for him to come and sit down.Since this had all started, Greg had become a very close friend to Catherine. She thanked him dearly for it.
"So, did you say something?" Greg asked, walking over with two cups of coffee in hand.
Catherine shook her head and ran her tongue across her bottom lip at the sight of the coffee. "I shouldn't mope, I'm almost sure I've got no chance in hell. So why bother?" Catherine said in utter denial, her voice was so close to the edge of letting those Sara filled tears fall.
Greg looked at the beautiful woman and frowned deeply. It was one thing to see you're friend like this, but to see such a gorgeous woman lose all faith in love? That's what did it for him.
"No, Cath! That's it! I'm not letting you lose every inch of you're faith!" he yelled and got up angrily. He stormed out of the break room in search of the one person who could make Catherine happy, Sara. Finally he found her, she was busy working at the computer. Finger prints probably. "Hey Sara!" he said cheerily as he walked into the lab.
Sara turned around, even for Greg. That was way to happy.
"Umm hey" She replied suspiciously.
Greg smiled "Umm, Cath could use you're help in the.. Erm, break room" Greg said, understanding how stupid it really sounded.
Sara raised an eyebrow and got up "Break room? Uh okay" She said and left the lab, still looking confused at why Catherine would need help in all places.She turned the corner and walked into the break room. It looked like Catherine was trying to wipe up some tears from her now pale face.
"Catherine?" Sara asked, walking speedily over to the sofa to address the situation.
Catherine looked up to Sara and quickly covered everything up "Hey!" she said as brightly as her stuttering voice would allow.
It didn't take Sara too long to notice that Catherine was a bad liar at times. "Cath.." Sara soothed, she wasn't sure what was wrong but she was going to go something to help.
"Uhh, Greg said you wanted some help?" Sara asked, trying to lighten up the unknown situation.
Catherine looked at Sara confusedly " I do? I mean, I do! Yeah! Um.." She said to the brunette, she was doing her best not to get mesmerized in those deep brown eyes.
Sara watched Catherine stare, she was speechless. She had never seen someone stare at her in a way which made her feel like the only one in the room. Everything else seemed to fade out and far into the distance, she didnt even notice Greg spying on them. But one thing she did notice was how this silent stare was getting more intense.
"Sara I.." Catherine started, she was finally getting somewhere. It felt like someone was doing flips in her stomach 'Oh god' she thought 'this is it!' she thought again. "Sara I need to tell you something" She stuttered, her voice low and quiet.
"Yeah, what?" Sara asked.
"This" Catherine said before bringing her lips down onto Sara's for a quick yet meaningful kiss.
Sara didnt close her eyes, she just stared at Catherine while she kissed her, it took her a few seconds before she actually realized what Catherine was doing and she gathered the sense to gently push her back. "Cath, I dont Know what to-" Sara began but got cut off by a tearful Catherine.
"It doesnt matter, I was stupid to think you'd like me anyway" Catherine said and fought back tears bravely. And walking off to go sort out some evidence with Greg. Anything to take her mind off her latest heartbreak.
Sara punched the table next to her and brought her finger to her lips, brushing gently she sighed. "Way to go Sidle" she whined to herself and began to dread the rest of the nightshift. This was going to make working very awkward.
