Landing at 4:40 pm, Catherine took a cab to the Whitcomb hotel in San Francisco. A direct approach wouldn't be any good with Sara and that is the last thing Catherine wants is to upset the young brunette so she decided booked a room and stays there the rest of the day. She would look around the hotel and in it so Sara could see her, somehow and maybe it would work.
Hours passed and Catherine was feeling less confident. Maybe coming wasn't such a good idea. Maybe Sara was just being nice to Lindsey by saying all that comfortable words. And she definitively wasn't the most patient woman in the world. She took a long bath in the tub went to the lounge, searching for the restaurant. She hasn't eaten anything in the airplane because the idea of seeing Sara again was making her stomach do somersaults but now, after six hours, she had to least try.
She talked to the waiter and asked for the lightest plate that they had in menu. The guy was very sweet and couldn't stop staring or hide the smile awhile talking to her. If just Sara look at her like that! He come back with her plate after half an hour and chatted a little before have to attend another table.
Catherine was almost living the restaurant when she spotted a brunette sitting at the table in the end of the salon with another guy. They were laughing and touching each other hand and Catherine knew who that laugh was. She could always distinguishing Sara's laugh from everyone else's around her quite easily. Her heart filled with joy seeing the brunette so happy but them why wouldn't she be? Catherine felt her heart being pressed by two invisible hands as tears formed in her blue eyes. Was it really too late? The woman stopped chatting and turned her head to the door and froze when seeing her. Catherine gasped and instead of going to Sara she left.

"Sara, are you ok?" ask the men with concern.
"I… That can't be! She wouldn't… would she?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"I just thought I saw someone familiar but it's probable my imagination pulling tricks, like always, it's nothing."
"Was a beautiful blonde? The one you ran away from?"
"I didn't run!"
The guy smirked widely. "No, you just thought 'I will go back to san Francisco because I miss the winter and maybe I should make a visit to a certain someone'. Someone that you don't see for more than… I don't know, thirteen, fourteen years or so."
"No but whatever happened in the past doesn't change our bond Brian. Yes, I was mad at you after you left but we have been talking and things are fine now."
"But you want her. She is your soul matte".
"Brian just stop okay? I don't wanna talk her!" Sara asked. Yes I love Catherine but she doesn't like me like that. Why would she come after me? She wouldn't… "Besides, since when you started to believe in soul matte, anyway" Sara chocked, resting on the chair and looking outside the window.
"I didn't but apparently you did. Go and see if it's her Sara, if it is then is a good thing, if it's not… at least you are sure and you can enjoy your time in Frisco." Sara shook her head. "Are you afraid she may return your feelings?"
"No… yes… I mean… it is complicate. Everything with Catherine is just too complicated." Brian stared at his sister for a long time before getting up from his chair, making a loud noise. "Where are you going?"
"Find out the truth for you."
"What? You can't be serious," Sara jumped off the chair and followed him out of the salon. "Brian for god sacks stop walking! You don't even know who she is"
"You said her full name so I just have to check in the reception area, if she booked a room we will know."
"Come on, please, don't do this."
Brian stepped under the table in to the reception area and used the computer. He had access to everything in the hotel. He smiled at Sara.

Catherine closed the hotel door and leaned against the door. The tears still run down her cheeks. How she could think that Sara loved her? She had persuaded Grissom since they meet years ago and then there was hank and nothing, nothing could indicate Sara liked girls. Even after becoming friends Sara still held things back from the blonde, Catherine could feel and see it. There were times that she was uncomfortable around her or a question she may asked, and she would find some excuse about why. Catherine knew when someone was lying to her. Besides, the only two things that they do well are there's job and push each others button until one finally snap.
She managed to get herself away from the door and threw herself in bed, hugging the pillow. "I'm so stupid!" she cried. "She will never return my feelings, never. I should buy a ticket and then leave. I can't be in here knowing she is with that… that guy." For nights on roll after finding out Sara's departure Catherine would stay wake thinking about her life, what she had, what she wanted… Sara. She still found difficult to sleep after coming back from work and taking Lindsey to school.
A knock at the door startle her. She got up as fast as she could, check her appearance in the mirror whipping the remaining tears and went open the door. Catherine gasped.
"I somehow knew it was you"
"I can see that" Sara blinked being welcomed by such harsh words. She stared at blonde and knew that the defensive mechanism was in action.
Sara sighed. "I really thought we had passed this phase, Catherine."
"That was before you decide to leave!" Catherine shouted. "I thought we were friends, I was happy because we were finally getting along and then you just… I think you should go now!"
"You came here for a reason" said Sara, stopping the blonde to close the door in her face. "And the least you can do is telling why, and then I'll go, if that's what you really want."
"I don't have anything to tell you." Catherine argued not moving or looking at Sara. Could her departure hurt the blonde that much? Sara wondered. Because she was sure she had never seen Catherine seem pretty much defeat, ever, like now.
"Come on Cat, we both know it's not truth" Sara said softly. "Please let me in." Catherine stared at her like forever and closed the door. Sara sighed, touching the door slightly. She turned to leave when the door flew opened. Her heart beat increased and she felt like running inside instead she just walked, closing the door behind her. The blonde smiled and sat in the end of the bed.
Sara turned the chair and sat facing the blonde. "I guess I don't have to ask how you find me," she smiled breaking the uncomfortable silence. Catherine shook her head.
"Lindsey and I couldn't understand why you choose to leave without a word… She told me you two are friends for quite awhile."
"Yes, we are. She is sweet kid and it's been great talking and helping her out. I couldn't tell her why I needed to leave though, even if for a few days."
"So you are planning on going back?" Sara nodded. "When,"
"I don't know yet. I need to sort a few things out first."
"What things? Can't I help you? Did you have to come here?" Sara looked away and didn't reply. How to say that Catherine was the reason why she feels like she was suffocating while being in Vegas? It would not be a good thing to listen. "I'm sorry,"
"Sorry about what?" blinked Sara.
"That my… friendship isn't enough to give the comfort you need."
"Catherine… is not like that," Catherine walked to the window and stared at the cars in passing along the road. Of course it was. Catherine bit her lips fighting the wave of tears. Oh boy, she didn't know it would be so hard to see Sara again.
"Is the guy… the one you were having dinner… helping you to sort things out?"
"He has been a good listener." Catherine swallowed hard and nodded.
"Who is he?"
"My brother"
"Your... what?" Catherine screamed. Sara watched the sock vivid in Catherine's face and the few tears that emerge in her blue eyes. The blonde looked down and back outside. "You never told you had a brother."
"The last time I saw Brian he was leaving to go to the university and we never talked until a week ago when I called him. I found out he still lived her and I need to talk to someone I knew that wasn't involve with work" Catherine didn't know what to say. Of all things she didn't expect that guy to see a relative, though she was very relieved. "It was a big risk coming because there are lots of thing in my past that I want to leave exactly there in the past and see him would bring all back. But it is good to be with him again. He isn't the jerk he was anymore."
"I'm happy to know that."
Sara walked toward the blonde and put a hand on her shoulder. "Why you came all the way here to talk to me? Why didn't you call after finding me?"
"And risk having you not answering me or worse, shutting the phone in my face because I know that when you need time or space you don't want to see or hear from anyone, including me."
"That wouldn't have happened Cat, not anymore."
"If it did it would hurt more then you being gone. I though I have lost you for good and you have no idea what that did to me, Sara… If it wasn't for a little push from Lindsey and my sister I wouldn't have the courage to fly here to see you and tell you the truth."
"What truth?"
Catherine looked from Sara eyes to her lips, her head screaming it's now or never.
Sara felt Catherine lips on hers and didn't know what to do. She had dreamed about this moment since she saw Catherine for the first time and now it was happening.
Not getting any answer, good or bad, Catherine continued, slowly brushing Sara's upper lips with her tongue while her hand was in Sara's hair, squeezing the scalp. Sara opened the mouth and Catherine didn't think twice before put her tongue in. They battle for dominance, until Sara couldn't help but give up and just enjoy the incredible sensation of the other woman tongue and the felling that was emerge deep inside her groin.
"That's what I needed you to know before it was too late"
"It could never be too late for you," Sara pulled Catherine harder against her body, devouring the blonde's mouth like there was no tomorrow.
Just the sight of Catherine walking at the corridor of the lab or the smile in her face gives Sara a thrill. When she's close the smell of her shampoo it sets my heart beating like I just ran a marathon. And now, the touch of her lips sends electric shivers across Sara entire body. If all that wasn't sigh of pure love than someone was playing one giant cosmic joke with her heart. With both of them hearts, actually.
Sara's hand went under the blonde's shirt making Catherine moaned. Oh that was a great sound. She scratched her back winning another one. "If you don't want this to happen to go any further, you have to stop coz I don't know how much I can stand this amazing feeling you are creating in me" Catherine whispered. Catherine pushed Sara head against her to make her point.
She walked them to the bed, throwing Sara above it. When Sara didn't say a word or moved she start kissing the brunette's neck. Sara's hand begin unbuttoning Catherine shirt but Catherine stop her so she could switch there position. She took of both of shirts and start to kissing the revealed areas. Starting with her stomach and then up. Sara was in heaven. She raised her back allowing Catherine to open her bra and removing it.
Catherine kisses Sara's lip before start, slowly, to teases with nipples and breasts by kissing every part of them except where Sara desires the most. Sara chose ran her fingers through Catherine hair, one of the parts where she touched even in her daydreaming also. When she couldn't take anymore wait to feel Catherine above her, Sara grabbed Catherine head to look at her.
She kissed her and took advanced of the situation to switch positions again, making Catherine moan with frustration.
"That was not fair!" said Catherine with a smirk.
"I was the one who had to fly to another city because I couldn't stand not have you like this, wanting me just as I want you so don't tell me it isn't fair!"
Catherine's eyes darker with lust "Make love to me Sara"
Sara unbutton Catherine's shirt all so slowly revealing the white skin under it. "You have freckles," she said, with surprise and amusement.
"Always have."
"Its beautiful." Sara kissed every one she could find before continued her task. She unzipped her pants and took them off along with the panties. Catherine watched with intensity as her both hands move from the foot to the leg and tight until reach her stomach making her squirm. Catherine was right about how focus Sara would be while making love with someone and she was getting more wet each second by.
Catherine gasped as she continued her journey squeezing the breasts from above the bar and soon finding it opened in the front. Catherine hated the other type of bra. Catherine called Sara's name, closing her eyes. The young woman squeezed both breast tight making Catherine call her name once again.
"Is that what you want" She changes the hand for the mouth, licking it faster. Catherine moaned louder, forcing Sara's head down. "God, cat, you feel so good,"
"So do you Sara," Sara took care of both nipples and did the only thing that will send the other woman body explode with happiness: brush her finger in to Catherine's clit.
"Oh God" Catherine screamed, opening her eyes.
"You liked that?"
"Yes, yes," Both of them smiled.
"I If I had known you were into girls, thinks could have been so easy Cat"
"If I knew you like it too I wouldn't have waited so long to come clean." Sara plugged two finger into Catherine wet pussy hard. "Holy shit!"
When Catherine body returned to the bed, Sara kissed her before start the movement in and out. Than, she took position between Catherine legs and magistrate her fingers with her moves from the tongue in Catherine clit taking the woman to the edge fast.
Catherine body shivered uncontrollable and Sara waited until her cool down. Catherine looked at Sara to show the love that she felt throws her eyes and Sara gave her the biggest smile she had. When Catherine closed her eyes again, Sara whispered. "I hope you are ready for another one" and started pumping, making sure that her palm brush in to the clit.
"Oh… Oh… hum… I don't think I… FUCK! " The second orgasm passed through her body Catherine torso rise up. Sara embraced her, reducing the movement until stop completely. "Oh my…"
"Shh… You don't need to talk right now… its ok" Sara let go of Catherine body after a couple minutes, just for look at her eyes. "God, you're so beautiful"
Catherine smiled and kissed her lips and forehead before lay down in bed. Sara did the same thing but in way that she can look at her lover. It's amazing what it feels to be with Catherine and in this kind of level of intimacy. She being waiting for that for so long and now it's happen. It's real.
Two beautiful blue eyes locked at the browns one. Tears of joy run to Sara cheeks and she didn't make an effort to whip them away. Catherine hand squeezed Sara's right cheek before plant a little kiss in her lips.
"Don't cry sweetheart."
"Sorry, I just wasn't…"
"Expecting to be this good, this real?" Sara nodded and looked away. "I'm feeling the exactly same thing. I'm happy but I'm afraid to."
"Do you Catherine?" Sara asked, looking down. "Or you're saying just for me to feel good?"
"The last thing I had planned was to fall in love again and I have, badly" Catherine said reaching for Sara's hand. "I cried every night Sara because I love you so much and you weren't there anymore"
"I don't understand how you can" Sara said.
"Neither do I but that's how our heart works. He falls for someone before we could be able to understand and there is no word that could describe this feeling. Did you thought that I wasn't been honest when I kissed you?"
"No"
"When I touched you?" she asked, getting closer. Sara shook her head "Taste your skin?"
"No"
"That's because I want you Sara". Catherine said touching Sara belly. "I love you and I know you love me too" she whispered before raised her hand to cup Sara's breasts and squeezed caressingly. Sara bit her lips and closed her eyes letting the sensation float through her body.
Catherine managed to get her lied in the center of the bed before kissing her with passion. "Tell me you can't see it in my eyes" Catherine whispered with lusting voice, locking there eyes for a minute before went down kissing Sara's chest until involve one nipple with her mouth. "Tell me you can't feel it" she said continuing her ministrations.
"I…" Catherine used her left hand to play with the other nipple "I can't!" Sara moaned.
"Tell me that you don't want me to take this off so I can really touch you". She asked cupping Sara's center through the pants.
"God, Catherine!"
"Yes or no, Sara?"
"Yes. Yes. Please!"
Catherine smiled at her eagerness and took of the pants slowly making Sara bit her lip in frustration.
After kissing both Sara's long leg, Catherine part then. She moaned when she saw how wet Sara really was and all for her. She tortured Sara a little more planting kisses around her center and chucking just above it. The vibrations of her chuckle send shivers through Sara's entire body.
Instead of start with her finger, like Sara did to her, Catherine did the opposite. She licked Sara center, over and over, faster before concentrate the administration only at her clit. Sara hands gripped the sheet hard trying to stop from moving her hips. God that felt so amazing. She screamed when Catherine insert two fingers in her core without warning.
Catherine looked up to see Sara's expression - her eyes shut, her neck hyper extended, breathing becomes so erratic – it was such a wonderful view. She waited to be sure that Sara want that as much as she did and when Sara didn't move, she trusted her fingers in and out, first slowly than faster and faster.
Sara's words became incomprehensible until the huge orgasm float at her body. Catherine took her hand away and asked for her to open her eyes. As Sara did it, the satisfaction vivid in the brown eyes, Catherine asked something that surprised the young woman.
"I want you to touch me while I'm touching you. Can you do that?"
"I don't know... I never... What if..."
"I know you will do just fine Sara" she said smiling. "And won't need even to get inside of me to sent me over the edge"
"Okay" Sensing the hesitation in the younger woman, Catherine decided to help her relax once again.
"Close your eyes. We don't have to rush thing if you don't want to ok?" Sara nodded. "Trust me"
"I trust you Cat,"
Catherine started rocking her finger at Sara's center slow but then a little faster but without using much of force. In a few minutes, Sara hips start to show how and where she liked the most and the moans re-started. Now that Sara was definitively involved in the sensation, it was Catherine turn. She picked Sara's hand and rocked against her own center. Sara eyes flew opened and she stared in to the blue orbs. The sensation was overwhelming and Sara couldn't let Catherine have all the fun.
Catherine's body went over the edge, not long after Sara's. She managed to put an arm at the bed before her body fell over Sara's before lay beside her lover, both breathing hard. After a while, Catherine pushed the blanket at both of the naked forms and laid her head at Sara's shoulder.
"Are you ok?" Catherine asked.
"I think so... You?"
"Yes. That was amazing…" Sara smiled and pushed Catherine closer to her. "I love you Sara" Catherine said just before sleep. Sara kissed the other woman head and sigh, drifting to sleep not seconds later.
