Chapter 10
Sara tried to smile despite her shock.

"Hi, Grissom," she managed to smile.

Sara looked stunning, the way she stood in the doorframe. Grissom breathed in deeply. The feelings for her were stronger than he had thought. He only needed a few days to find out where she was. But he gave her time to relax. But he didn't endure it any longer. Grissom needed to see her. He had to talk to her somehow.

"Hi Sara, you look amazing," he smiled back.

This smile it nearly took Sara's breath away, oh how did she miss it. How had she missed Gil Grissom.

"Thank you, I enjoy my time here," she said.

"I wanted to see how you are and because I had to do here in Miami, I thought, I drop over," lied Grissom.

Naturally he wasn't accidentally here, he wanted to see Sara.

"Yes, then… come in. I'm soon back, I just wanted to get some breakfast," Sara said.

"Make yourself comfortable, I am back in 10 minutes", she continued and vanished in direction of the parking site.

Grissom was here, she couldn't believe it. What did he want here? She panicked. Sara had to admit that she had missed him, but she didn't want him to be here. She still was afflicted by his repulses.

Grissom sat on the terrace with his sunglasses on; he was tired, groggy, slept too little since the thing happened with Sara.

As she returned they had breakfast together.

„Do you want to lie down for a while?" she asked Grissom as she saw how groggy he was, she worried.

"I have enough dormitories here," she continued.

"This is a good idea. Thank you, Sara," Grissom was too tired to say anymore.

He went over to his dormitory and got shorts on. He laid down on the bed and slept right away.

Sara wondered how he had found her. She dialled Cath's number.

"Willows," she heard from the other side of the line.

"Cath, it's Sara," she said, glad to hear her friend..

"Do you have a minute, I have to talk to you," Sara continued.

"Sure, get cracking, Sweetie."

"Do you or Nick have…, have you told Grissom where I am?" she asked.

"No, why? Grissom isn't here anyway. He has a case in…" Cath couldn't go on; the scales fell from her eyes.

Miami, naturally he hadn't a case, he wanted to see Sara. Cath had to grin.

"Gil Grissom stood right in front of my door," Sara went ahead.

"Sara, neither Nick nor I had told Griss anything. A few weeks ago as your letter arrived He wanted to know from Nick where you are. But Nick stood firm." said Cath.

Sara heard voices in the background.

"I forward you to Nicky, He wants absolute to talk to you.

"Hey Sara, Honey, how are you? Are you fit as a fiddle again for our footrace next week when I come around?" Nick asked her good-humoured.

"Sure, Nicky, I will beat you like ever," she replied laughing.

"Grissom is really with you?".

"Yes, Nicky. This morning he stood in front of my door."

"Hm, would like to know how he you found because we honestly didn't tell him!"

"I will tell you when I ‚ll have found it out." said Sara.

"Can I talk to Cath again, please?!"

"Yes, ok, Sonny. Relax well, we will see us next week, you know I am fond of you!" Nick added.

"I am fond of you, too. Looking forward for next week."

"Sara it's me again. What's up?" asked Cath.

"Just wanted to know when you'll arrive next week. And wanted to ask if you would like to have a Barbecue with the CSI's of Miami."

"Sure," Greg roared from behind into the receiver.

Sara had to laugh, this was typically Greggo. Everything which had to do with party and he started to warm up.

"Greg don't roar into my ear, otherwise I will be deaf." Cath sounded nerved.

"Ok, Cath, I have to go. I want to go to Horatio, he is waiting form me."

"Ok Sweetie. It's a pity, that you want to leave, but I sympathise with you."

"Yes, Cath. I just can't stay in Las Vegas any longer."

"Did you tell Gil already?" Cath asked.

"No, and he will only come to know it when I return to Vegas to resign. So, keep quiet.

„Yes, Sara. I don't say anything anyway. Moreover I don't know if I see Grissom before we come over to you.

"Ciao Sara, keep you chin up," said Cath at the end.

"Bye Cath," Sara hang up.

Grissom got parts of the conversation. Sara wanted to leave Vegas? He was aghast. And whom did she tell that she was fond of him? Grissom was hit hard by jealousy. He was just too tired to take Sara immediately to task. Furthermore what should he have said, that he eavesdrop on her? Grissom fell back to sleep.

Carefully Sara opened the door to Grissom's dormitory.

"Grissom, I drive to the Crime-Lab to Horatio. I will be back in the afternoon. Make yourself comfortable. It's enough to eat in the fridge, even if it's vegetarian." Sara grinned.

"Ok, Sara. I surely will continue to sleep for a while."

"See you later. Bye, Gil."

"Bye, Sara." Grissom was already asleep again.

As Sara returned in the afternoon Grissom still was asleep.

She changed cloths to go swimming.

She jumped into the sea and swam until she was short of breath. It did good to detract herself and to let off steam. She completed everything with Horatio for her switch-over to Miami. Now Sara only had to resign in Vegas and that was the most difficult thing.

Grissom stood on the terrace and watched Sara. As she came off the water it took his breath away. Sara who was always pale went well tanned in direction of the house. She didn't spot Grissom immediately. Only as she nearly reached the house.

"Hey Grissom, did you sleep well? It's not the way I know you…to sleep the whole day." She bantered with him.

"Ummm, well I was a bit exhausted," answered Grissom smiling.

Sara's heart beat faster, there it was again, this irresistible smile. She felt so much for him. Best she would have liked to kiss him immediately.

"Do you come with me swimming again?" Grissom pulled Sara out of her thoughts.

"Ummm, you really want to go swimming?" she sounded surprised.

"Sure, Sara Sidle. Sometimes I also have fun if I don't have to work." he replied amused.

"Ok than come over. I am waiting in the sea for you!" she said with a grin on her lips.

"Just go to change."

As Grissom returned, he just wore swimming trunks nearly Sara's breath caught. Grissom looked so sexy. She loved and needed him so much.

Grissom stepped gently into the water. Sara took a hand of water and splashed him with water. She laughed and tried to escape into the sea from Grissom who was on her heals. He caught up with her, as she couldn't stand anymore. She tried to swim, but it was too late. He gained on her. He put his arms around her waist and tried to plunge her. Sara felt so damn good, she was so sexy. At once it was as if the world stood still they were so close to each other. They stopped to tease and looked deeply in each others eyes. For a second Grissom had the idea to kiss Sara, but he didn't. He simply was way too shy. Also Sara couldn't move. She lost herself in Grissom's blue eyes.

As they let loose they swam. As they left the water it was time for dinner.

„Would you like to dine with me tonight?" Grissom asked Sara.

„Yes, why not. Around the corner is a nice restaurant. Honestly I didn't reckon on guests," she grinned at Grissom.

"Ok, I pick you up…" He had a look at his watch it was already 6 pm… "…at 8 pm." He gave Sara one of those smiles, she considered to be irresistible.

„Where do you stay?"

„A few miles away from here. A friend of mine made his house at the beach available to me. Thus 8 pm. Is it okay?" he asked Sara.

„Yes, sure," she answered.

Grissom turned around and left.

"Gil,... " Sara shouted afterwards him.

"Sara?" he looked puzzled at her.

"Nice to have you here."

She didn't know what's got into her. Hell, why did she say this to Grissom. Sie blushed in confusion

„Thank you. I am also glad to be with you," he said smiling and left a dumbfounded Sara.

Did he just say that he is glad because he is with her? Sara couldn't believe it. But she was happy.

She went to the bathroom to take a shower. Afterwards she thought about what she should wear. She chose a dark-green trouser-suit with a black neck holder top.

She let dry her hair on air hence it curled a bit. She decided a light powder, Mascara and lip-gloss to complete her make-up. She had a look at her watch, nearly 8 pm. Good timing, Sara. She put on her black stilettos and yet the doorbell rang. Sara opened the door. Grissom stood there in Jeans and a black shirt. He wore a jeans jacket over his shoulders.

„Hey Sara, you look amazing," he greeted her.

„I just can return the compliment. You're looking damn sexy," she smiled shyly.

Yeez, Sara. What are you talking… you disgrace yourself constantly today.
