Recovery- The Grissom Household
"You smell!"
"Excuse me?" asked Grissom appearing over the rims of his glasses into Sara's dark orbs.
"You smell!" she stated once again. "Gil you should go take a shower. You have been here for 3 days now. I think you should go home take a long soak in the tub and maybe even a nap."
"Babe, I can't leave you," Spoke Grissom.
"Gil I will be fine, I have been fine for the pass 48 hours. I'm good. Go home and see Bruno, he probably really misses you. Please!" beg Sara, reaching out and rubbing Grissom's wrist.
Grissom study Sara, making sure she really wanted him to go. She gave him a smile, telling him it was okay.
Grissom smiled back, "Fine, I will go but I won't be long."
He kissed Sara softly on the bandage that was wrapped around her head and got up.
Just then Catherine, Warrick and Nick entered the room.
"Hey what's up?" asked all three together. It was 5 and visiting hours were almost over.
"Hey," replied Sara back. "Grissom was just going home, he needs a shower."
"Oh," replied Catherine.
"Wait, Can one of you stay here with Sara, in till I come back," asked Grissom over towards the three CSI standing by the door.
"Sure I can stay, I don't have to work tomorrow," replied Warrick volunteering.
"I can stay for awhile too," replied Nick over towards Grissom.
"Thanks," nodded Grissom.
"What about you Cat, are you staying around too?" asked Warrick taking the seat beside Sara bed, which was still warm from Grissom.
"No, I think I will go with Grissom, I want to see his house," spoke Catherine looking over at Sara making sure it is all right.
"That's fine with me, you can report back to me and tell me if he really went home instead of just driving around the block," said Sara with a grin.
"I don't know the house is pretty messy," replied Grissom, not liking the idea one bite of his coworker coming over.
"Gil, its fine, Catherine can go," replied Sara. She didn't want to fight with Grissom but she might have to if he keeps on being stubborn.
Grissom looked sternly over at Sara. She stared back at him; eyebrows raised like she was saying don't question me.
"Fine, Catherine can come. Bye Sweetie," spoke Grissom as he gave Sara a smile.
"Bye Sugar," replied Nick with a huge grin over his face.
"Bye Guys," waved Catherine.
Grissom gave Nicky a questionable look as he held the door open for Catherine and she stepped out.
"Bye Gil," waved Sara as she tried to hold back her laughter.
They had token Grissom's car, since Catherine had gotten a ride from her coworkers.
The SUV pulled up in front of a two story, suburb home. Grissom got out of the car and started to walk towards the front door.
Catherine got out slowly but continued to stare at the structure before her. First the ring and now this there was a lot Catherine didn't know about her friend.
Grissom waited at the door impatiently, "Cath, Are you coming?" he asked looking up from the mail in his hands.
Catherine blinked, realizing she was still at the car. "Yah coming," yelled Catherine as she walked up the path and joined her friend on the porch. "Its, I just never imaged you and Sara living in the suburbs. I'm so use to your townhouse."
"I never imaged living here either but I and Sara wanted to live some where, where no one knew us. So we picked here. It's not really that bad," Spoke Grissom as he got out his keys and began unlock the front door.
Catherine looked up at the sky; it was a beautiful shade of orange and pink.
Grissom opened the door and called out, "BRUNO BOY!" He held open the door for Catherine to step in. "Who's Bruno?" she asked. "The dog," spoke Grissom closing the door and hanging up his jacket on the peg.
"Oh," that was all she could muster, another thing Catherine did not know. Catherine took off her jacket and put it on the peg next to Grissom's.
Just as Catherine began to look around the room she had entered, out came running a 100 pound boxer. His tail waving as he jumped up and greeted his owner. He then noticed Catherine and jumped up on her. Bruno was always excited to see new people. The dog placed his two front paws on the Strawberry blonde's shoulders and began to lick her face. "Bruno down," yelled Grissom.
Bruno gave Catherine one last kiss before dropping down on all fours. "Sorry about that," apologized Grissom as he looked over a Catherine, who was covered in doggy drool.
"It's okay," spoke Catherine taking a tissue from her purse and wiping her face.
Grissom gave her a smile before walking down the hallway.
Catherine followed Grissom's down a red painted hallway towards the kitchen. On the way they passed the stairs that lead upstairs and also the living room. In the hallway Catherine noticed a dark oak cabinet; on it was a vase with a plant in it, a sliver framed picture of Grissom and Sara standing in front of the Grand Canyon. Their arms were wrapped around each other, big grins plastered on their faces.
Grissom walked into the dark kitchen and flicked on the light. Catherine walked in too, Bruno at her heels. The walls were painted a soft olive green. The Cabinets were maple oak and glass, so you could see what was in them. It also contained a stainless steel fridge and stove. There was also a round table against the wall which had four chairs seated around it. The table was the same colour as the cabinets.
It was nice thought Catherine as she took a seat at the table. Grissom put the mail on the counter and walked over towards the fridge. He opened the door and took out two water bottles, he walked back over towards were Catherine sat and handed her one. "Thanks," she said while taking the cold bottle in her hands.
Catherine took a sip as Grissom, filled up Bruno's dishes with food and water. After he had set them down by the back door which was in between the sink and counter. He took a seat at the table.
After they had both finished their water, Grissom showed Catherine around the house. He first took her into the living room which was attached to the kitchen. It was painted a soft yellow. It contained the same wooden floors that were in the hallway.
There was a brick fire place, and on the mantel contained more picture of Sara and Grissom. There were two giant wooden bookshelves on either side of it, filled with forensic text books and such. There was a navy blue rug in the centre of the room, with an oval coffee table on it. Around the coffee table were two love seats and a 3 seater couch. They were all white. Catherine noticed them immiedialty from IKEA. There was also to wooden ends tables at both ends of the couch. Both had stain glass lamps on them. One was of a butterfly, the other of a dragon fly. There was also a ceiling fan, which flooded the room with light. There was a window that stared out onto the street.
Next Grissom lead Catherine back into the hall, past the kitchen and into the dinning room. It was painted a cream colour and shared the same view of the back yard as the kitchen. It contained a dark oak table and 8 matching chairs. There was a beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling over the table. At the end of the hallway were a bathroom and another set of stairs leading down to the basement.
Grissom lead Catherine back into the front hall and up the stairs. There was a white carpet runner running up them. The top floor hallway was painted the same olive green as the kitchen. Through out the 2nd floor were the same wooden floors as the 1st floor.
Grissom walked down the hall to the right and into a room. Catherine followed. They were in the bedroom. The walls were painted a corn flower blue. Most of the room was taken up by a double queen size dark oak bed on the far wall. There were two matching end tables and a dresser also. There was a black and white photo above the bed of the Golden Gate Bridge. The room also contained a walking closet and attaching bathroom.
Grissom walked across the room and into the bathroom, Catherine followed.
"Catherine, what are you doing?" asked Grissom confused.
"What?"
"I going to take a shower and I know Sara said make sure I did but I don't think she meant for you to watch me take one," explained Grissom.
"Oh, sorry, but I thought you were giving me a tour," replied Catherine, still confused herself.
"Well, you can finish it your self," explained Grissom, has he turned on the shower.
"Ok," said Catherine stepping out of the bathroom and into the bed room again.
She walked back into the upstairs hallway and just began to open doors. One was for the linen closet, another one was to a bathroom, one lead to an office/ TV room and the last two doors to spare bedrooms.
"This is a nice house," thought Catherine to herself, as she went down stairs again to the living room. Its then she noticed a painting over the mantel piece of the fire place of a painting of a little girl with dark eyes and brown hair wearing a white dress, standing in a field holding a butterfly. Catherine stood there for a few moments studying the picture before moving back into the hallway.
She climbed the stairs back up towards the master bedroom. She walked in taking more notice of the room then she had before. There were cloths not a lot but a few scattered on the floor and on the bed. The bed was poorly made like it was made in a rush.
Catherine walked over towards the closet was and decided to have a peak inside. She found the light switch and flicked it on. The closet was filled with clothes. On the left side looked to be all Grissom's and on the right Sara's. On the bottom was a shoe rack filled tons of shoes, arranging from hiking boots to sexy silver stilettos. Catherine bent down to get a closer look. She reached out and grabbed the shoe. They had a 4 inch heel on them. Catherine ran her finger along the heel. They were beautiful. A real work of art.
"There is not way these are Sara's," thought Catherine.
"What are you doing?" came a voice.
Catherine dropped the shoe and looked up. There was Grissom standing in the door way wearing nothing but a towel. Little beads of water ran down his arms and chest.
"Geeze Gris, you scared me!" spoke Catherine standing up.
"Sorry but I wasn't expecting you in my closet," spoke Grissom as he stared to rummage through the rank looking for clean cloths. He used one hand as the other one held on to the towel making sure it did not fall.
"I got bored," explained Catherine as she crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame. She titled her head and study Grissom body. Catherine admired Grissom's back muscles. She then found her self checking out Grissom's butt as he bent down to pick up a hanger that had dropped. Catherine soon adverted her eyes back to Grissom's back once realized what she had been doing. "No you didn't just do that Willows. You just didn't check out you friends ass. Shake it off, shake it off!" thought Catherine to herself. But she had to admit, Sara was a lucky girl.
Back at the hospital, Warrick and Nick were sitting around Sara's bed talking about the football game the previous night. Sara was joining the two men's company. It reminded her of those slow nights at work.
Sara smiled to herself as Warrick argued who was the better team.
Sara found her eyelids begin to droop and she drifted off to sleep.
"Sara?" spoke Nick when he realized how quite his friend had become.
"She's asleep man," spoke Warrick.
"But of bored her out uh?" asked Nick, smiling over at Warrick.
"Yah must of!" agreed Warrick.
So you got a little tour of Sara and Grissom house.
I hoped you enjoyed it.
