Chapter 3
As I walk out the door the following morning I grab a cup of coffee. No time to stop at a drive through coffee joint this morning for my latte, I want to be early for work. Well, earlier than usual. I am still trying to convince myself that it's just because I want to get a head start on the days work so I can leave earlier tonight. But that's not really it at all. I am looking forward to talking to and seeing Grissom again.
My real goal today is to finish my work for the day before this afternoon. Fortunately it should not be a problem seeing as how the court hearing I have to do today is this morning. Then I only have a small portion of paper work to finish back at the office. This way I will have a lot of time that I can spend with Grissom.
After arriving at the office, I notice that expectedly Jordan hasn't shown up yet. Something would have to be wrong for him to show up at 6 a.m. He never was the type for getting somewhere that early. Anyway, I head into the office and start on the paper work and preparing for court. Upon completion of what needed to be done I leave for a small breakfast. Just as I am about to get into my car Jordan calls out, "Hey! Sara, where are you going? The work day just started."
Quickly I reply, "I was here at six o'clock this morning, finished paper work and prepared for court. I 'm headed off to breakfast before court."
"Oh, okay see you then," he responds.
"Bye," I call.
Half an hour later Jordan's calling me on my cell telling Mr. Grissom called and that I can call him back on Grissom's cell. So, before court Grissom and I set up a lunch date for 12:30 p.m. Court goes by smoothly and before I know it I am on my way home to change out of my court clothes before lunch. I know this lunch with Grissom is supposed to be for professional reasons but I am hoping that we don't have to spend too long on that.
I grab my keys once more and leave for lunch. As I arrive I see that there's still 10 minutes left 'til 12:30pm but as I get out of my car I spot Grissom already here. Sitting down at our table Grissom and I rapidly go over the case file with only a few new details being added. It seems he is just as eager to move past work stuff as well.
Smiling Grissom asks, "How was your morning?"
"Not too bad, I got up early managed to get my paper work done and prepare for court."
Seemingly disappointed, "Oh, so I suppose you have to get back after lunch."
As I smile I reply, "No, it was just a short hearing, I am done for the day."
Beaming, "Great, I was hoping we would have some time to talk."
I only smile at this comment though on the inside I am doing back-flips. He wants to get to know me and I want to get to know him. Finally, things seem to be going well in the guy department at least for now.
"So tell me what made you decide to become a district attorney?"
Yeah, because that's what every guy asks a girl on their first date. Resisting the urge to roll my eyes I respond, "Well, when I was younger I was always into those shows where you watch the lawyers make the case against the bad guys, and I decided I wanted to help put way murderers and other felons."
"Oh"
"Yeah, I am sorry it's not a very exciting story," I say. Though this isn't the real reason I decided to become a D.A. but we don't know each other well enough for me to tell him the truth. Not that anyone really knows the truth on my career decision. Not even Jordan knows.
"No, it's fine my decision to be a professor wasn't an exciting story, and that was definitely better than mine," he finishes with a small smile.
About halfway through lunch we decide to take a walk after and figure out from there what to do next. It seems both of us are intent on spending the day with the other. Walking through the park after lunch Grissom asks, "What do you think we should do next?"
"Well, what do you like to do? Once that question is answered we can figure something out."
"True, and I like to watch old movies occasionally, ride rollercoasters, and various other stuff." Grissom said with a smile.
"Well, how about we rent an old movie and watch it at either my place or yours?"
"Sounds good."
We spend the rest of the afternoon wandering around Las Vegas before we head to Blockbuster to rent a movie. Finally, we make our way to Grissom's with the movie. I am a little nervous though. I know I just spent the day with him but still it's our first date and everything. About half way through Strangers on a Train Grissom asks, "Do you like the movie so far?"
"Yes, I do," I say with a small smile.
As the movie ends we sit there quietly neither not knowing what do next. So I decide it's time to go.
"I should really get going."
"Oh yeah, it's late you probably have work tomorrow."
"I do, but we should do this again," I comment as we walk towards his door.
"We should, here let me walk you to your car."
Arriving at my car I stand for a few minutes unsure if we're going to kiss. Instead we mumble our goodbyes and say he'll call the next day or me tomorrow. Driving home I can't help but think what a day I have had. Really, it was great but I chastise myself because I failed to let Grissom know that.
Now we all know that I love it when you all drop me a review :D.
