Stranded – Chapter 12 Last Night Stranded!
"Greg Stop… Greggo… Gregory Stoppp," Lauren managed to get out in between giggles.
Greg was hovering over her while she was lying on the ground. He finally stopped tickling her and kissed her on the lips. As the kiss broke they both smiled. "Let's go back to our room," said Greg helping Lauren up off the floor. "See you guys in the morning. Remember we are leaving tomorrow afternoon so get some sleep," joked Greg.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," laughed Nick. Everyone said goodnight to the couple and laughed at Greg's little joke.

Nick had his arm wrapped around Julie as they sat on the love seat across from the loveseat Warrick and Catherine were cuddled up on. Grissom and Sara were curled up on the couch. "So how is this going to blow over with Ecklie, Griss?" asked Nick.
"What?" asked Grissom slightly confused.
"Well we couldn't get a hold of him to tell him we were stranded here, so he is probably wanting to fire all of us now. Also now there are two romancing in our team," said Nick.
"Well he should have been informed by now that we were stranded here," said Catherine.
"Probably," said Grissom.
"Yeah but what about you guys? Is there anything against it?" asked Nick looking out for his friends that he considered to be his family.
"Nick has a point you guys. Some places don't allow inter-office romances. You may need to find a way around it or hide it somehow," said Julie.
"Good point," said Catherine as she snuggled closer to Warrick not wanting to lose him.
"We will all act professional at work and away from work who cares we just have to be careful of who sees us doing what. That is until we find a way around it," said Grissom.
'So this isn't just a vacation thing for him. That's good,' thought Sara.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catherine tried to hide her yawn but it didn't go unnoticed by Warrick. "Tired?" he asked her.
"Kinda," she smiled up at him as he gave her a peck on the lips.
"Let's go to bed. I'm kinda tired as well. Goodnight guys," said Warrick standing up with Catherine.
"You know that sounds like a good idea," said Julie. "Coming?"
"You know it," said Nick as he followed Julie out as they both said goodnight to Sara and Grissom.
"Are you tired?" asked Grissom.
"Not really," said Sara.
"Do you want to stay here or go up to our room?" asked Grissom.
Sara looked at him with a seductive smile as she stood from the couch and started for the door. "Coming?"
"Coming," said Grissom with a smile of his own as he followed Sara up to their room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They walked in their room and didn't bother with turning on the lights. They had plenty of light in the room with the moonlight coming in from the sliding class door that led out to the balcony. Grissom closed the door behind him and locked it. He smiled at her as she stood in front of him. He walked slowly to her as he wrapped his arms around her waist as her arms snaked around his neck so her fingers could find his curls. He placed his lips gently against her forehead as he placed a simply soft kiss there. He looked into her eyes and could see his future with her. "What do you want to do?" he whispered.
"I just want to be with you," whispered Sara.
Grissom took her hand and led her to the bed where they laid down. Sara laid her head on his shoulder and placed her hand across his chest. His arm wrapped around her body holding her close to him. They laid there in the quiet just enjoying each other's company until sleep soon over took their bodies.
TBC.. Again I'm sorry it's short. I really didn't want to start writing their adventure home and make this a really long chapter. Sorry it took so long to post. I didn't start writing it until tonight and I just finished it. So here it is until my next chance to write. I might be getting a job soon, which means I might not have as much time to write with a job and school. But I will continue to write don't worry. Please review.
