Wrong Again 14?
A couple hours later Sara, Catherine and Lindsey were settled back at the Willows' house. Sara made a vegetable lasagna for dinner , which was now Lindsey's favorite meal. The dishes were clean and Lindsey's homework was done so the little girl chatted with some friends on the internet while Catherine and Sara watched T.V. Catherine was sitting at the end of the couch with Sara snuggled on her chest between the blonde's legs.
"I really don't want to work tomorrow night," Sara sighed as her hands played with Catherine's fingers.
"Ugh, don't remind me. I'm finally on a normal sleeping schedule. You know, like a normal person, sleeping at night and being up during the day. It's nice to be normal," Catherine laughed kissing the top of the younger woman's head.
"Speaking of which," Sara started as she rolled herself over. She crossed her arms over Catherine's chest, resting her chin on the top of her hands, "To get us back into our normal pattern, I say we stay up until Lindsey goes to school. Then we can head to bed and not be kind of spaced out with not sleeping right," She smiled.
"But whatever will we do all night long?" The older woman teased wrapping her arms around Sara.
"I can think of a few things to pass the time," The brunette grinned, moving up placing a kiss on Catherine's lips.
"I have such a smart girlfriend," Catherine stated, kissing her. Sara pulled back slightly, taking in what the blonde had just said.
"Girlfriend. I love hearing you say that," The younger woman smiled, tucking a strand of the blonde's hair behind her ear.
"Me too," Catherine whispered, bringing her lips back to Sara's. After a few moments, the brunette settled back on top of Catherine's chest, content with being in the older woman's arms.
"Hey mom, am I staying at Aunt Nancy's tomorrow night?" Lindsey asked shutting off the computer.
"Yeah sweetie, I'm sorry, mommy has got to go back to work tomorrow," Her mother replied as Sara sat up.
"Sara too?" The littlest Willows asked, voice full of hope.
"Yeah, sorry kiddo. Otherwise you could totally stay with me," Sara responded, making room for the little girl on the couch.
"That sucks." Lindsey sighed, sitting down between Catherine and Sara. "I don't want you to go back to work. I like having you and Sara around."
"I like being around you too, Lindsey. But don't worry, I'll be around so much you are gonna get sick of me," The brunette replied, pulling Lindsey into a hug.
"Cause you're mom's girlfriend right?" The little blonde asked sweetly.
"Yes I am Lindsey," Sara confirmed.
"YES!" Lindsey exclaimed jumping off the couch in excitement.
"Lindsey, you knew that," Catherine smiled, watching her daughter.
"But now, it's really official. She said it out loud, no backing down now!" The little girl beamed.
"You are such a goofball," Catherine laughed.
"Quiet mom. You know you're excited too!" Lindsey stated, hands on her hips. The older woman couldn't hide her blush or smile at her daughter's statement.
"All right young lady, to bed." Catherine replied, starting to change the subject. "Do you want me to pack a bag for you for tomorrow?"
"No thanks mom. I can pack it. Are you gonna be up tomorrow morning?" The little girl asked.
"Yeah, I talked to your Aunt Nancy earlier and Sara and I are going to drop you off, and she is gonna pick you up," Catherine stated.
"You sure you're gonna be up?" Lindsey questioned, remembering that morning.
"Yeah baby, Sara and I are gonna stay up tonight."
"Why?" Her daughter asked confused.
"Well, your mom and I usually work overnight so we sleep during the day. We just figured it might be easier to back into what we call normal," Sara replied.
"So, what are you guy's gonna do all night?" Lindsey questioned innocently. The two CSIs looked at each other and smiled. "Ah ... nevermind. I don't wanna know," Lindsey finished, beginning to walk away.
"Oh, aren't you the funny one," Sara laughed as she stood up, engulfing Lindsey in a hug.
"Sara, come help me pick out an outfit," The little girl said, dragging Sara down the hall. "Night Mom"
"Night baby," Catherine replied.
"I guess I'll be right back," Sara said and Lindsey continued to pull her down the hall.
The older woman smiled as Lindsey flung Sara into her room and shut the door. Catherine made her way into the kitchen and grabbed a box of matches that were on top of the refrigerator. She walked back into the living room and lit the few candle that were placed about the room. The blonde turned off the lights as she made her way back to the kitchen, giving the room a romantic glow.
Catherine grabbed two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine from the cupboard and set them on the counter. She opened the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of white wine. The blonde held both bottles in her hands trying to figure out which on Sara would prefer. Catherine jumped slightly when she felt Sara's arms wrap around her waist from behind.
"I like red," The brunette whispered into Catherine's ear. The older woman set the bottle on the counter and turned around in Sara's embrace.
"I like you," The blonde stated, bringing her arms up to rest around Sara's neck.
"I like you too," Sara smiled as she felt Catherine's lips upon her own.
"Are you trying to seduce me Ms. Willows?" The younger woman grinned, kissing her again.
"Trying to make the setting more romantic and sexy but ... single mom ... don't have much to help me in that department," Catherine laughed.
"Catherine, all you have to do is stand in a room to make it sexy as hell," Sara whispered against the blonde's lips.
"Charmer," Catherine smiled, pulling Sara into another kiss. "All night long ... with you ... oh, the things I'm gonna do with you. Or better yet, to you," She purred, running her hands down Sara's arms.
"Actually, I kind of wanted to talk to you," Sara replied in a serious tone.
"Everything okay?" Catherine asked, concerned with the tone of Sara's voice.
"Yeah, there are just some things I want to tell you," The brunette smiled. Sara reached behind Catherine and grabbed the bottle of wine and the two glasses.
"Come on, lets sit down," The younger woman said, heading into the living room. The blonde followed closely as they both took a seat on the couch. Sara opened the bottle and poured two glasses, handing one to Catherine and keeping one for herself.
"You have me kind of worried Sara. What's going on?" The older woman asked, turning so she could face Sara.
"I just want you to know everything," Sara confessed, taking a sip of her wine. She shifted in her spot nervously, afraid of what her confession would do to their relationship.
"Everything?" Catherine asked getting more comfortable. She put her hand on the back of the couch and tucked her ankle under her thigh.
"That way you can run away," The younger woman laughed dryly.
"That's not funny Sara. Listen to me," Catherine started as she ran her hand through the brunette's hair. "The only direction I am ever going to run is straight to you," Catherine smiled. Sara leaned her cheek into Catherine's hand and placed a kiss on her palm.
"Even if it is Grissom related?" Sara sighed as Catherine stiffened slightly, pulling her hand back.
"What about him?" The blonde asked taking a sip of her wine, not looking at Sara.
"When we first met, after he gave that lecture, I asked him for coffee ..."
"You told me that the other day when we picked Lindsey up," Catherine interrupted.
"Yeah, but, I didn't tell you that afterwards we walked and talked for hours. I didn't tell you that at the end of the night I kissed him. We ended up having a relationship ... well kind of ... for few weeks. But, Catherine I never slept with him. I mean, well, I slept with him, but I never had sex with him. I didn't tell you this before because we weren't anything other than friends and it didn't matter. But now, I want to be completely honest with you." Sara finished shifty nervously, unable to look at Catherine.
"Sara, that's in the past. I don't care how many people you had a relationship with before me," The blonde replied, resting her glass on the coffee table.
"But it's Grissom, so that's a little bit different," The younger woman responded, fiddling with the rim of her wine glass. Catherine let out a breath and moved closer to the brunette. She took Sara's glass from her and set it beside her own on the table.
"I'm not going to sit here, lie to you and say it doesn't bother me. The truth is, I'm a little jealous. I'm always gonna be when it comes to you and him. There is an amazing chemistry between you two, romantic or not. I mean, the whole lab sees it." The blonde took Sara's hand in hers and looked into brown eyes. "But, I trust you. I do Sara. I believe everything that you say. But when everyone you've ever been cheats on you or leaves you for someone else, it is always in the back of your mind." She sighed looking down at their joined hands.
"I don't know why anyone would ever want to leave you, Angel," The younger woman let go of one of Catherine's hands, resting her finger under the blonde's chin, forcing her to look up. "I don't see how anyone could," She concluded, kissing Catherine gently.
"I just hope I never do anything to make you realize why they did," The older woman replied, tears building in her eyes.
"Honey, short of you leaving me for Warrick, I'm not going ..." Sara started.
"Warrick! Oh my God! Where did you get an idea like that from?" The blonde interrupted, chuckling.
"Him. He is so in love with you. Don't you dare say you had no clue. That would be me saying I didn't know Greg liked me," Sara smiled.
"Warrick and I may go back and forth, but trust me Sara it's all one sided." The older woman answered, standing from the couch. "I'm head over heals for someone else," She stated, standing in front of Sara.
"Oh really? And who might that be?" The younger woman grinned.
"A tall, smart, sexy…" the blonde started, placing her hands on Sara's thighs leaning forward "…funny, strong, caring…" she continued sitting on Sara's lap bringing her arms around the younger woman's neck "… brown eyed brunette that I can't get enough of," Catherine finished, pressing her lips to Sara's.
The younger woman's hands came down and gripped Catherine's ass, pulling the blonde as close to her own body as she could. A moan escaped the back of Catherine's throat when she felt Sara's tongue slid past her lips meeting her own.
"Baby, Warrick doesn't even compare to you. The way to make me feel, baby, nothing compares to that," The blonde confessed kissing her again.
"I must be the luckiest woman alive," Sara smiled.
"No baby, I am," Catherine stated, capturing Sara's lips with her own. "Come on," she replied, getting off of Sara's lap, "Lets go swimming" she smiled, pulling the brunette off the couch with her.
"Cath, I didn't ... " The younger woman started but was quickly silenced by Catherine's lips pressing to hers as the blonde walked them backwards toward the sliding glass door.
With a little maneuvering, Catherine opened the door never breaking their kiss. As the two woman stepped outside, Catherine closed the door behind them. The blonde turned them around, pushing Sara's back against the door. The younger woman's hands were tangled in the blonde's hair, while Catherine held Sara's hip firmly in place against the door.
"Angel, I didn't bring my bathing suit this time," Sara panted, trying to catch her breath.
"And?" Catherine asked, unbuttoning the brunette's jeans, sliding the zipper down. "I never said you needed one," She said kissing Sara.
"Your neighbors Cath, are they home?" The younger woman questioned between kisses.
"Probably," The blonde replied pulling her own shirt over her head.
"They might be able to see us," Sara reasoned as Catherine pulled the brunette's shirt off her body. Catherine grinned as she shimmied out of her jeans, standing before Sara on only her bra and underwear.
"So?" The blonde whispered, raising her knee in between Sara's legs causing the brunette to whimper at the contact.
"You don't care if ... " The younger woman started.
"The only person I care about keeping it PG in front of is Lindsey." The blonde purred, moving Sara's jeans down her legs. As Sara stepped out of them, Catherine ran her hands back up the brunette's long legs, placing a kiss on her belly button before coming face to face with her girlfriend.
"And her room is on the other side of the house. So, if some nosey neighbor wants to watch two beautiful women be with each other, let them watch. It will give them new material to discuss at the next neighborhood block party," Catherine finished, wrapping her arms around Sara's neck.
"Well then Angel," Sara whispered, sliding her arms behind Catherine's back. "Let's give them something to talk about," She concluded, unhooking the blonde's bra.
Catherine's laughter filled the Las Vegas night air as they shed their remaining clothes, before slipping into the water.
