So as you can see this story has put me in a very Dave Matthew's Band mood :). I hope you enjoy this chapter. There's one more to go!!
Sara stumbled into her apartment exhausted.
"Hey Sar why don't you go change and I'll order us a pizza? I know those shoes can't be comfortable," Nick said referring to her heels. He still couldn't understand why women tortured themselves by wearing them. Well for what ever reason he had to admit they did look good wearing them.
"Thanks Nicky. I think I'll take a shower and change. Just make yourself comfortable."
"Always do!" he smiled as he plopped himself on her couch, phone in one hand remote control in the other.
Despite her current mood Sara laughed. She had to admit, one of the best things that came out of her moving to Vegas was her friendship with Nick. He was like the over protective big brother she never had growing up.
Sara made her way into her bedroom removing her jacket and shoes leaving them by the bed. She went into her bathroom to start the water running in the shower. She removed the rest of her clothes hanging her dress back up in the closet. She wished she'd kept the tags on so she could return it. It had been an impulse buy. She still didn't know why she did it. She just knew when she tried it on she felt like a million bucks and knew she had to have it. Then when the idea for tonight came about she knew she should wear it. Everyone had complimented her. Telling her how nice she looked in it. Well everyone but Grissom.
Sara slipped under the spray and pressed play on her shower stereo. Sara always found that when she was feeling lonely and depressed music always helped. Well she had felt that way until a particular song started playing and she groaned. Why this of all songs? But Sara didn't bother to shuffle through to the next one.
I call you up
You pick up
You call my bluff
On the card to love
You hold too close
Your hands to your chest
I can read your eyes
But I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
Wherever you are
I swear
You be my angel
You
Sara couldn't deny that Grissom was her weakness. Hell it's why she came to Vegas. I mean getting a chance, even if briefly, to work for the number two lab in the country would be great for her career but that thought had hardly crossed her mind. Grissom had called and told her that he needed her and she was on the next flight she could find. It angered her. How pathetic she thought she was. He calls and she comes running. And even now, even after everything that he's done to her she still couldn't deny that she was in love with him. Even after tonight she'd still do anything for him. That's the trouble with love. You'll do anything. Sara was afraid that she'd let herself fall so far in love with Grissom that there was no turning back. She was stuck in this cycle of hope and rejection and she didn't know how to get herself out of it.
I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart
Won't you please give in?
I may be strong
But I want you back again
When you're not here it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright but still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?
Whatever you are
I swear
You be my angel, you
Sara finished her shower and was just getting dressed when the door bell rang.
"Don't worry I got it.," Nick said getting off the couch.
"I bet it's the pizza," he continued.
"Thanks Nicky I'll be out in a moment. Oh and my purse is on the counter in the kitchen."
"Like I'd let you pay! Dream on girl," Nick said with a smile. He opened the door and instantly regretted it. He was a trained CSI why hadn't he thought to look in the peep hole first?
"Grissom," Nick said with obvious venom in his voice.
"Uh Nick is Sara home?" He asked nervously.
Before Nick could answer Sara came bounding out of her bedroom.
"So Nick is the pizza here I'm starving? I hope you remembered to order it half vegetarian because you know there's now way I'm eating dead pig on my…" Sara stopped speaking when she saw who was at the door.
"Hi Sara," Grissom said quietly.
"Can I come in?"
Watch the deck
Count your cards
Makes no sense
That I'm always losing
When you're gone
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Whatever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel, you
When you're gone
