A/N Hello people, please excuse this chapter if it isn't very good, I have been having trouble writing the last couple of days, its just not working. Please let me know what you all think, that would be greatly appreciated.
When you say nothing at all.
Catherine was sat at a dinner table in the dinning room, she was anxiously waiting the arrival of Grissom and Sara she was itching to interrogate them about what Nick had told her and their pool escapades.
She was tapping her fingers impatiently and huffing every few minuets out of frustration, she kept looking over her shoulder to see of they were coming and every time she did she had a wave of disappointment washed over her when they didn't turn up.
Sofia who was sat on the same table as Catherine was becoming annoyed with Catherine's actions.
"Look, your going to see them so do you have to keep doing all those annoying things". Sofia said in a stern voice.
"Oh come on, its not that annoying". Catherine said as she looked over her shoulder again.
Sofia huffed and threw her hands in the air.
"It is when you add them all together like that, In fact it forms a perfect mesh of annoyance".
"Oh, Oh here they come, quick act casual". Catherine said excited while jumping up and down in her seat.
"And how does casual look"? Sofia asked while rolling her eyes.
"I don't know just do something". Catherine said.
Catherine got into her casual position, she sat upright with her legs crossed while drinking her coffee with her pinkie in the air.
"Hey Cath your looking very royal sat there". Sara said as she smiled and sat with the females.
"What you talking about, I'm looking casual". Catherine said defensively and straightening up even more.
"Erm okay". Sara rose her eye brows and took some coffee.
They all sat in silence for a few minuets, Sofia could see Catherine's struggle at keeping her mouth shut for a while and she wondered how long it would take before she explodes, or at least passes out from lack of oxygen.
"Right!, I cant take it any more". Catherine shouted while slamming her fists down on the table.
She caught the attention of the whole room, Catherine got up and started to speak to the whole team.
"I'm speaking for all of us when I say, are you going to tell us about what happened between you and Grissom in the pool"? Catherine said and automatically felt relieved and fell back into her chair after it was unleashed into the universe never to come back.
Sara and Grissom both looked shocked, Grissom threw a look at Nick and he hung his head In shame at telling Catherine.
"Um, can I ask out of curiosity what did happen with you and Sara"? Warrick asked Grissom with a curious look on his face.
Everyone apart from Nick leaned towards Grissom in an attempt to hear the gossip and detail.
"You know its none of your business". A voice came that was significantly different to Grissom's, it was female. The team looked towards Sara as she stood up from the table.
"Well come on don't be a spoil sport". Greg said with a grin on his face.
"Hey, I'll tell you what ,when Catherine, Warrick, Brass and Sofia admit they all have something going on then I will admit it, but before then get off our backs. None of you can talk about being a spoil sport". Sara huffed and sat back down in her chair and drank her coffee.
The team all locked eyes and none of them were ready to admit there was something going on so they all left it be even to Catherine's dislike she too wasn't ready to divulge all the information to her co workers so she reluctantly let the Grissom and Sara scandal be for a while.
Grissom looked at Sara and gave her a thank you look and they both smiled and carried on with coffee.
The team were finishing up breakfast and they were all making small talk and trying their hardest to avoid a certain topic of conversation, Catherine, Sofia and Sara had moved to the table where the guys were sat and they were all squished around talking and laughing.
"Sara". Grissom called from across the opposite side of the table.
Sara raised her head and smiled.
"Yeah".
The team stopped talking and were watching with a deep concentration at Grissom and Sara's conversation.
"I'm going to the body farm today, do you want to come"? Grissom asked suddenly feeling awkward with all the eyes watching him.
"Yeah sure". Sara answered and smiled.
Sara bowed her head and drank some coffee, the team understood that that was the end of the conversation and slowly other topics crept in and more voices were herd in the room.
Every one had finished up breakfast and they went their separate ways, Nick and Greg were walking around and they stopped by the front desk to say hi to Linda.
"Hey guys". Linda said with a big smile on her face.
"Hey how are you"? Nick asked as he leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.
"Better now". Linda smiled and started signing papers on the desk.
The door at the back of the front desk opened and a woman walked out.
"Hey Linda I finished doing the"-. The woman stopped talking and looked ahead.
"Hi Greg". Katie said shyly.
Greg smiled and he too acted a little shy.
"Hi Katie". Greg said while giving her a small wave.
Linda noticed the two young people of the group exchanging glances and shy smiles and she didn't look very happy with it.
"You slept with my sister didn't you"! Linda shouted at Greg and pointing a finger.
Greg's head turned quickly to a pissed off Linda and his jaw was agape.
Catherine and Sara had been walking down the stairs when they herd the shouting, they dived into a living room and hid around the corner and spied on the situation.
"Answer me, did you sleep with my sister"? Linda shouted again.
Nick was gobsmaked he didn't get what the big deal was after all he had slept with her and she was Katie's sister so its kind of the same principles.
Greg answered nervously, he knew better not to come between families but he still found him self in an inevitable war zone.
"Well, it was a joint effort I didn't do it by myself". Greg said with his voice shaking a little.
"I don't care you do not sleep with the staff". Linda shouted again.
Greg paused and he thought he had a way out.
"Well what about Nick, you slept with Nick aren't you staff". Greg said while pointing to Nick.
Catherine and Sara were hid behind some curtains and were struggling to keep their laughter in at the situation.
"This is so funny". Sara whispered.
"Oh yeah, hey there's Grissom go and grab him or he'll ruin the moment quickly and quietly". Catherine whispered back.
"Right incognitos, got it". Sara whispered and she tip toed away from the scene.
Grissom was walking past the living room when an arm grabbed him and pulled him in the room.
"What the"- Grissom said but was cut off with a hand coming over his mouth.
Grissom was turned around and he met the familiar face of Sara, she smiled and put her finger to his lips and whispered.
"Ssh, you gotta see this, but you have to be quiet, got it". Sara whispered and let go of Grissom's mouth.
"But"-. Grissom was cut off again.
"Quiet, got it".
"Get it". Grissom whispered.
"get it". Sara whispered back also.
"Got it. Grissom whispered.
"Okay follow me". Sara whispered.
Grissom and Sara arrived at the hidden curtain and Grissom noticed Catherine there also.
"Do you guys do this often, you seem to have it all sussed out". Grissom whispered.
"Nope, now Ssh". Catherine responded quietly.
Grissom shut up, he wasn't going to complain he was enjoying himself. Catherine and Sara were busy watching the show, they were both in front of him and he was at the back, Sara was slightly bent over, not too much she was stood nearly upright but not quite.
Grissom moved in closer, he made it look like he was watching the show, he put his head over her shoulder but his hands found Sara's hips and he pressed their bodies together slightly. Catherine was completely oblivious to what was happening around her she was too busy watching Greg try and save his manhood.
"You slept with Nick, oh my god. How am I any different then. You're a hypocrite". Katie shouted at her sister.
"Look I'm older than you are, so what I say goes alright". Linda shouted back but knowing full well that Katie was right.
Katie looked at her sister with complete disgust and she ran off to get away from her.
Greg noticed Katie was upset so he ran to catch up to her and check if she was okay.
"Don't you dare go near her". Linda shouted at Greg but he was already gone.
Linda walked around the other side of the desk and headed to Nick.
"This is your fault". Linda shouted at Nick .
"What, how is it my fault"? Nick said while backing away from Linda.
"If you kept your bloody hormone raving mad friend away from her this wouldn't be happening".
"I'm not his keeper, I cant tell him what to do. And any way like he said it takes two, doll". Nick said getting a little frustrated.
Linda stepped forward and slapped Nick in the face. Nick stood there shocked but he didn't have much time to think until another one came his way. Linda kept hitting him in the arm and chest. Nick grabbed her hands to keep her off him.
"Whoa hold it there missy, calm down". Catherine said as she left the hidden area and intervened.
Linda was still hitting Nick even with Catherine there and she was getting more out of control, Grissom and Sara stepped in and they all restrained her.
"Now when you calm down then we will let you go, but not before". Grissom said in a calm voice.
They held her there for a few moments and when she did calm down she shrugged the people off her and ran into the back room behind the desk.
"You okay Nicky"? Catherine asked with her hands on her hips.
"Yeah". Nick answered sadly and he walked away from the rest of them and headed up stairs.
" I'm going to go and see if he's okay, I'll catch you guys later. Oh and remind me to never hide in a curtain with you two again, the tension…wow". Catherine said with a bit of a laugh and she walked upstairs to go and see Nick.
"That was your fault". Sara said with a smile.
"You could have moved away". Grissom stated.
"Now why would I want to do that, its taken years to get this far". Sara said and smiled again.
Grissom smiled and nodded.
"Wanna go to the body farm now"? Grissom asked.
"Sure". Sara said and smiled.
They both walked out of the building and headed towards the car.
"You know, its going to happen eventually". Brass said while sipping on his scotch.
Sofia looked up from her magazine with a confused look on her face.
"What".
"People figuring out that we have something going on, Sara seemed pretty adamant earlier that there was". Jim said while relaxing on the couch next to Sofia.
Sofia paused and carried on reading her magazine and then she answered in a very casual way.
"She already knows, and so does Catherine".
"What, how"? Jim said looking shocked.
"They are CSI's, they figured it out, well Sara did any way". Sofia answered with her attention still on the magazine.
"How did she figure it out".
"The flowers, she said she didn't have any in her room and neither did Catherine and seeing as the rooms are identical it would be odd if only one room had them. And well it was a lucky guess that they were from you. But they both know". Sofia said in a low hushed tone.
"Oh right".
"Hmm oh and Sara said that you have a great taste in flowers". Sofia added.
Brass flicked his eye brows and smiled.
"Well I know I have a good taste in women at least". Brass stood up and took his glass, he kissed Sofia on the head and walked to refill his glass. Sofia smiled to her self and Carried on reading.
"Nick". Catherine called through his room door.
Nick answered the door and leaned against the door frame looking low.
"Hey don't be down, she is just looking out for her sister and being protective and you got in the way". Catherine said in a reassuring way that made Nick smile slightly.
"Yeah, I suppose your right". Nick said while sighing.
"Good now cheer up, you wanna go and get a stiff drink"? Catherine asked with a smile also.
"Sure why not". Nick left the room and closed the door behind him.
Grissom and Sara had been driving for about forty minuets when they arrived at the body farm, Grissom parked the car and they both exited the vehicle and walked to the entrance.
"Gil Grissom is that you". One of the men in the building asked as they entered.
Grissom smiled and extended his hand and they shook hands quickly.
"Hi Joe, how's things"? Grissom asked with a smile.
"Oh you know same old stuff, and who's this lovely lady"? Joe asked with a huge smile on his face at looking at Sara.
Sara blushed and pursed her lips.
"This is Sara Sidle, she works with me in Las Vegas". Grissom said with a smile on his face.
"Ah that's good, is she only a co- worker". Joe asked feeling curious about the female.
Grissom turned his head to Sara and then back to Joe.
"No, she's more than a co worker". Grissom said proudly.
"Hey that's great kid. So you here to poke around out there"? Joe asked while still smiling at Sara.
"If that's alright". Grissom said politely.
"For you, of course. You know the drill go on through that door and you away". Joe said as he pointed to where they needed to go.
Grissom nodded and smiled, he took Sara's hand and led her to the door. Sara smiled at Joe on the way and she went with Grissom.
They stepped out side and started to walk, it looked like an ordinary park at the start of the farm but as they got further into the farm it started to look like something morbid and from a scary movie.
"So I'm more than a co worker am I"? Sara asked while looking around her in awe at what she was seeing.
"Well yes, I didn't know what to introduce you as. I'm not one for labels so I went with that, is that okay"? Grissom asked while taking Sara's hand again and entwining their fingers.
"Yes, it was perfect actually. Small steps nothing to drastic". Sara said as she smiled at Grissom and pursed her lips and carried on looking at the surroundings.
Around them were trees and hidden paths with small lakes and old cars, bog gardens dry areas, dense areas all with a few corpses decaying in them to show the affects of time and the elements and there was an occasional skeleton to be found.
Sara found it fascinating, she was looking at everything in great detail and taking it all in and adding it to her mental note book. The smell, the air, the feel, sounds and atmosphere all added to the notes which would be revisited when ever she wanted to.
Grissom was fascinated in Sara, he had never seen her so intrigued in something, let alone be deeply interested in something he has a passion for which made it all the more obvious that she was the one for him. She knew about bugs, she was a scientist, she was intelligent and she found his passions greatly interesting and well of course he thought she was beautiful. But the beauty was a bonus as he looked for that last. Intelligence and personality were the main factors and she had it all, the heart, the soul, the life, the passion and he loved her for it.
They walked for a bit longer in a comfortable silence holding onto each others hand to be close together, Sara stopped, she stepped in front of Grissom and closed the gap between them. An act of which a week ago would have invaded his personal space and taken his mind hostage for the rest of the day just thinking about her. But now he loved it, he had no personal space when it came to her he needed less space he longed to be closer and he knew it would take time but for now he was happy with touching her and being with her.
Sara closed in and their chests touched, she raised her hand and it came to rest on Grissom's cheek, she stroked the hair of his beard into place and grazed her finger over his lips, Grissom watched her inattentively as she carried on. Sara felt his eyes burning against her skin and she looked up slowly and they stared deeply into one another's eyes, neither of them flinching or even breathing deeply.
Sara tip toed a little and placed her lips on Grissom's in a gentle gesture, the kiss only lasted a second but the feelings and memories would last an eternity.
Sara placed her hand back in Grissom's and they carried on walking, neither of them saying a word, for they didn't need to all that needed to be said had just been and they were happy and content.
Please tell me what you think, I have had severe writers block and it took me nearly four days to write this so reviews and comments are really appreciated. Thanks for reading.
