The Best Man: Part Two
Grissom and Sara went to a little bar down the strip called The Trolley Stop. It was new and neither of them had been there before. After they sat down the silence and tension rose.
Sara could tell that Grissom was more tense than usual and like she seemed to have done in the past she started to ' over talk '. " Grissom you seem tense what's up?"
Grissom thought about just telling her the truth. Telling her that he loved her, and he would do anything for her to be with him. But he knew it wouldn't be that easy, so he lied.
" I just um...I'm just tired of being alone." Well it was kinda true, he just forgot to say,' and I want you to help me with this.'
Sara winced on the inside and thought,' Well you had a chance of being with me and not being alone. I guess I just wasn't good enough.'
Instead of saying that she looked at her beer and said," Well we can start to help that right now. There has to be at least a dozen women in here and I'm sure that almost all of them would like you."
He smiled. " But if I went home with any woman in here it would be just for one night, they are probably married, and they might have diseases."
Sara laughed and so did he. " You are so funny. I forgot how funny you are."
He smiled and then he over talked. " I forgot how beautiful you are when you smile."
Sara almost thought she was hearing things, but when she saw him start to blush she let a small smile escape her lips. The she started to remember about Devin.
She knew that she shouldn't be having these feelings about Grissom while being engaged to another man. But somehow she knew that she would never fully get over Grissom. He was a part of her, he had been there for her when she cried and held her hand and told her it was going to be ok, and that she was strong.
Devin had always been nice to her. They had dated off and on through college and she broke it off for the last time with him after she had met a man in the hallway of her dorm.
She didn't know what his name was. But he was the most handsome man she had ever laid eye's on. His lips curved when he smiled, and his eye's sparkled with a blue tent that were mezmorizing. His body was perfect, his hair short with little curls.
After she left her hallway she had went to her lecture and saw him again, she couldn't believe it. His name was Gil Grissom, and he was her professor for a week.
Grissom saw that Sara had zoned out on him and wondered if she was thinking about Devin. He decided to see if she really did care for Devin or if she had feelings for him. He stood up and walked over to the bar and asked the bar tender for a pen. He grabbed a napkin and wrote down a message. After he was done he walked over to a woman at the bar and slid it under her hand, winked and walked back to his seat.
Sara had watched this and was sick to her stomach. The thought of him touching anyone but her made her sick. When he sat down she said," What was that?"
He smiled he knew when she sounded agitated. " I took your advice maybe a woman in this bar will quench my apatite for affection." She couldn't believe she had heard the word affection come out of his mouth. " Oh." She couldn't say anything just sat and stared.
She was going to say it, she was going to tell Grissom that she still liked him. She went to open her mouth to speak when the woman walked up to the table and placed a napkin on his lap and smiled.
Sara was going to vomit. What was she thinking when she told him to find a woman in this bar. Well she actually didn't think he would do anything, it didn't seem like him.
He opened the napkin and read it and smiled. He knew Sara was not liking this but what she didn't know what that inside the napkin that he had handed the woman had a fifty dollar bill and read, ' I need your help here's money. Act like your interested in me. Please just help me. '
Sara saw his smile and decided to get nosy. " So what's your little love note say?"
He looked up at her and said," Um...can you excuse me for a little bit?" Sara was about to yell no, but she blurted out the next thing that came to her mind. " Why?"
She wanted to kick herself for saying it.
He smiled and thought about what he was going to tell her. The note really read, 'sure thing, come talk to me if you want.'
" Um...She wants to talk in a more private place." He started to blush and Sara wanted to press the issue even further.
" Where is more private? This bar isn't got much more room than this?"
He wanted to kick his own ass for opening his mouth before speaking. " In the bathroom." Sara's jaw fell to the table and all she could do was nod her head.
He stood up and walked over to the woman and whispered the plan into her ear. She giggled and acted like he was wooing her when she saw Sara watching.
Sara watched in horror as the woman grabbed Grissom's hand and lead him to the women's bathroom.
After the door was shut she felt like crying. Then she thought to herself, ' Why are you feeling this way? You have an amazing guy that you are getting married to."
It had been about ten minutes and she was getting worse. She had ordered two more beers while he had been gone and was almost done with the second when he walked back to the table.
He sat down and saw the beer bottles and smiled in the inside. He knew his planned had worked, but would it work all the way?
Sara looked and noticed that he had lipstick on his neck, and two of his buttons on his shirt weren't buttoned.
" Um...You have lipstick on your neck." He quickly wiped his neck and smiled.
" You were right she was just what I needed. Plus she was amazing."
Sara decided that she was done she couldn't deal with this anymore. The feelings, and the pain were too much.
" Grissom I think I'm going to call it a night." He looked up and nodded. " Me too, I'm going to ask Sophia if she wants to come over and stay the night."
Sara's head snapped up. Grissom said this and smiled, he knew that she would be thinking about Sophia at work, but he was referring to the woman at the bar.
" What?" " Sophia, the woman I just met." Sara was crushed. " I hope you have a good night Grissom." With that she picked up her purse and left.
He ran over to Sophia and thanked her for her help, then ran outside to his car. He wasn't going to let her get away, not this time. But he was afraid of one thing, that he was going to be too late. He walked outside into the parking lot and was unlocking his car when he felt to hands on his shoulders roughly grab him and turn him so that his back was against his car door. The only thing he saw was Sara's piercing eye's before her lips attacked his.
Her lips were rough but then when he started to kiss her back the kiss became tender and passionate. With tongues and lips tangled they both forgot where they were and were lost in the moment. Sara broke the kiss and he leaned his forehead to her while catching his breath.
" Wow." Sara smiled as Grissom grinned. " I never thought that would happed." Just then Sara's phone went off and Grissom let her out of his embrace.
She checked her caller ID and realized that it was Devin.
" Devin, hey whats up?" Grissom listened and saw her eye's start to wander.
" Where am I? I'm with Grissom we are going over some case files at his place, it could take a while."
Grissom smiled, ' So she's planning on coming home with me?' As he heard Sara say bye to Devin he couldn't help it and attacked her lips. " Griss, take me home with you." She didn't have to say anything else, but the questions that were burning in Grissom's head still remained as they drove to his house. Questions that he didn't know if he wanted to answers to.
