Thanks for still reading, wanted to post this chapter last night but was in two minds about something,
Grissom parked Sara's car and turned off the engine, Sara opened the door but Grissom put his hand on her arm to stop her getting out, Sara turned and looked at him, "Sara please talk to me", Grissom said as he looked at her,
"Inside", Sara said as Grissom let her arm go and they both made there way inside to the house,
Sara opened the front door and went straight to the bathroom once inside she locked the door and ran the cold tap, she bent over and washed her face, she looked up into the mirror and said, "Why did she have to come visit me", Sara said aloud,
Grissom was pacing up and down the floor as Sara was in the bathroom,
Sara stood still looking at herself in the mirror when Grissom knocked on the door, "Sara are you ok, come out please, we need to talk", Grissom said standing at the door, he could hear the tap running, "Sara",
Sara turned the tap off and opened the door, she stood looking at Grissom, tears coming down her face,
"Sara, I promise I did not kiss Fiona, she kissed me, can we sit down", Grissom said as he took her arm and they walked to the sofa,
Sara wiped the tears away with her hand, "Grissom I know Fiona can be flirty but when I saw you both kissing….."
Grissom turned to face Sara, "NO SARA, she kissed me I didn't kiss her", Grissom said with a raised voice.
Sara looked at Grissom she hadn't heard Grissom raise his voice at her before, only at work when he couldn't solve a case, and that wasn't very often or at Greg when he had his music turned up loud.
"Why would I want to kiss Fiona, Sara listen to me, I don't even know the woman and why would I kiss her when I knew you would be meeting me at the coffee house", Grissom said, raising his voice but not as loud as before.
They both looked at each other then Grissom continued to talk, "Sara listen to me please,", Sara nodded, "Fiona was at the courthouse when I came out with Catherine, she was passing by and asked if we, me and Catherine wanted to go for a coffee with her, Catherine couldn't as she had to go home, and I said no as I was waiting on you but I couldn't get you on your cell and when you called to say you had a puncture I thought I would wait in the coffee shop for you, but you hung up before I could tell you Fiona was there",
Sara looked down at her hands, "I dropped the phone as I was getting lifting the spare tyre", Sara said.
Grissom took Sara's hand in his,
"So we both went to the coffee house and I was asking Fiona about her past and what she was doing now, and as she got up to go to the ladies she took my hand, I pulled my hand away and the next thing I know she has kissed me on the lips, and walked to the ladies, and then you appeared next to me, Sara she was flirting with me and all I wanted was you to hurry up so we could go to dinner", Grissom put his hand on Sara's face, Sara looked at him and smiled,
"I should have told you she came round before you came home from work this morning but I forgot, she turned up when I was in bed, she came in and I offered to make her coffee….."
Sara stood up, "SHE WHAT", she shouted, "She called me when I was on shift and I told her I was working late and I would call her later", Sara walked away from the sofa,
"Why did you let her in, did she kiss you then as well", Sara said looking at Grissom,
Grissom stood up, "Sara I thought she was your friend?" Grissom asked, "Why would I not let her in and I didn't know she had already called you",
"She is a friend but not a close friend like Angela", Sara said,
"Angela who I met when we first met", Grissom said,
Sara nodded, "when I first met Fiona we got off on the wrong foot, and then we became friends before we left college", Sara said walking into the kitchen,
Grissom followed her, "What do you mean got off on the wrong foot, what did she do?" Grissom asked
Sara opened the fridge door, but Grissom closed it over and turned Sara to face him, "Sara, what did she do to you", Grissom said,
"My first boyfriend slept with her behind my back and I had an argument with her, but she told me it was him that came onto her, after a while I believed her over him, as he told me it was her that came onto him, but he didn't have to sleep with her", Sara said as Grissom let go of her arms,
"Sara, I'm not going with anyone apart from you", Grissom said as he took Sara into his arms,
Sara rested her head against Grissom and said, "Before I caught them in bed together they would have coffee together when I was busy studying and she would turn up to places I had arranged to meet Jack, she was known as a flirt, but I thought Jack was different, but I was wrong",
Grissom held Sara tight, "But why did you still be friends with her? Grissom asked
"Me and Angela didn't speak to her for months then one day we watched as she flirted with another guy from college and he hit her, we felt sorry for her and after that Me and Angela would invite her out with us when we went out, we would never be close as me and Angela but we put the past behind us and got on with college", Sara said as Grissom kissed her head,
Sara stood back, and walked out the kitchen and said, "I'm going to see her and to tell her to stay away from us", Sara made her way to the front door.
Grissom ran after Sara and grabbed her arm, "No, leave it, we don't need to see her again, she will be leaving Vegas after the wedding, just leave it Sara, Come on I will make us some dinner before shift", Grissom said as he took Sara into his arms again,
"I meant to be meeting up with her on Friday she wants us both to go for dinner with her", Sara said,
"Well we won't be going on Friday, we will have a night out just the two of us", Grissom said kissing the top of Sara's head,
"Sara I promise, I'm not going to go anywhere near Fiona, I've waited so long to be with you I'm not going to through it all away", Grissom said lifting Sara's face up and Kissing her,
"I know, I'm sorry it's just…." Sara started to say, but Grissom put his finger over her mouth, "We won't mention her name again and if she calls your cell just don't answer it", Grissom said as he wiped the tears from her face,
Sara smiled and kissed Grissom, "Ok, let's eat before it's too late", Sara said as they both walked into the kitchen,
Grissom looked at Sara as she opened the fridge, "You helping me cook?" Grissom asked,
Sara laughed and said, "No, I'm just seeing what you can cook for us",
Grissom laughed, "You had me worried for a minute Sara", Grissom said as he walked over and stood behind Sara putting his hands on her waist, Sara stood up from looking in the fridge and stood against Grissom, Grissom put his arms around her, "I Love you Sara Sidle", he said,
Sara looked back to see his face, "I love you too Gil", Sara said as she turned around and kissed him.
