Chapter 5
"Griss, I can't reach the towel." Sara yelled from the shower. Grissom said she could shower and then they could head over to hers for her to change and then get some breakfast.
Grissom stood by the door looking into the bathroom. He couldn't move, she was naked and he could see the outline of her figure through the distorted shower door. His mouth hung open at the sight and stopped breathing. He was about to walk into his bathroom and pass her the towel, but was stopped by the sudden thought of 'I've never seen her naked before' and his feet seemed to be glued to the floor.
Sara stood under the spray and pushed her hair back. "Griss?"
Grissom nodded, but realised she couldn't see him so tried to regain movement of his vocal cords. "Y-e-a-h." The word stretched out without meaning to and in curiosity Sara opened the shower door slightly and popped her head out.
She smiled at the shocked look on his face and shyly ducked her head. "You ok?"
"Mm." A grunt was all the reply he gave and attempted a smile, but became an embarrassed half smile as he went red and slowly turned around and left.
"Grissom!" Sara called out her smile turning into a large grin. "Towel please." Sara closed the door to the shower and washed the soap from her legs. Grissom kept his eyes low and placed the towel on the sink. As he turned he caught a glimpse of her lifting a leg and wipes the soap off with a sponge. He swallowed hard and drifted towards the kitchen before he started to drool.
*******************************
"I'll only be a minute." Sara headed for her room to change while Grissom wondered around her living over looking her choice of videos, DVD's and music collection.
Grissom crouched down to look at her books on the three bottom shelves and looked through one. "What do you want to do after breakfast?" Grissom asked placing the book back and stood up.
"Not sure."
He looked on the sixth shelf from the floor to see a small fish tank. Swimming around happily was a bright multi-coloured goldfish. He picked up the fish food and dropped some in the top, then tapped lightly on the tank. "Eat up fella." Grissom said quietly then went to sit down on the couch. "You want to.I don't know, um.go to the lab or something?"
Sara came out of her room clad in black low-rise jeans and a red thin strapped tank top. He smiled at her appearance and approached her slowly. Wrapping his arms around her waist he brushed her lips with little pressure until she pressed her body against his and deepened the kiss. She held his curls and manipulated his scalp with her nails and Grissom moaned almost silently into her mouth. She smiled against his lips and pulled away. "I want to have breakfast with you, then how about we go to a museum?"
Grissom bent his head forward and softly kissed her neck then made his way up her throat making her gasp at the glorious sensation and held his head to her not wanting him to stop. "It's a second date." He murmured against her skin. Sara giggled and backed away from him, wrapping her fingers around his and pulling him gently towards the front door.
*******************************
"Now, you look like someone who needs coffee and a snack." Grissom beamed as he entered the computer lab.
Sara grinned up at him as she pushed her seat away from the computer toward the table in the centre of the room. Grissom placed the two coffees down and two packs of salad and mayonnaise sandwiches. "My saviour." Sara said as she drank some of the well-needed coffee.
Grissom pulled over a chair and slid into it next to her. "How's the progress with the computer?" He asked as he unwrapped his sandwich.
Sara put her coffee down and placed her hand on his knee, he looked up and gave his infamous half smile. "No lab talk. Need a break for five minutes." Grissom nodded and took a bite out of his sandwich. Sara continued to drink her coffee, but didn't remove her hand from his knee. They sat there in welcomed silence and just ate and drank coffee, relishing the quiet before something else popped up.
*******************************
"Let's try it again." Sara suggested and continued with confidence. "I will win one." Grissom chuckled and reached out to tuck a stray lock behind her ear, she smiled.
"From the beginning then, you first this time."
"Ok, hold on let me think of a good one." Sara looks around the room in thought, chewing on her lower lip; Grissom watches waiting for her to start. She swings her head back to him and grins. "Welcoming." Sara taps his hand with her index finger. "Do your worst."
"Hmmm.kind." Grissom takes her hand and holds it.
"Affectionate." Sara follows his gaze as his eyes drop in thought. She has this sudden feeling he's going to let her win this one, but she will out word him if it's the last thing she does.
"Nice." He looks up and grins.
Her eyes never leave his as she thinks. "Charming."
Keeping eye contact as his thumb grazes over her knuckles. "Polite."
"Good." She says softly.
Genuine mind lapse, Grissom realises she's using diversionary tactics. 'Think, think, think man.ok two can play her game.' "Beautiful."
Sara blushed and Grissom new he had her with that one. She squeezed his hand tightly still turning red. "Good Looking."
"That's two words Sara." Grissom raised his eyebrows at her shrug. "Ok, Attractive."
"Handsome."
"Gorgeous."
"Dishy." Sara burst out laughing after saying her word and raised her other hand to cover her mouth, trying to stifle the laughing that initially turned into giggles. "I've never used that word before, thought I'd try it."
Grissom shook his head and tried to stay serious for his comeback. "Ready for the show down Miss. Sidle?" Grissom sat up straight wanting to see her reaction after he finishes the match.
"Bring it on Boss." Sara leaned forward slightly waiting for his supposedly match breaker.
Grissom let silence encase the room and observed as she started to shift under his intense eyes. He smiled. "Pretty." When her eyes softened he continued and leaned into her slowly. "Dazzling. magnificent.brilliant.stunning and.Sexy." His last word was said so close to her lips it tingled, sending shivers down her spine.
"Now look who made who speechless." Sara says against his lips before both closed the small gap between them. Grissom's hand ran down her face to her neck as the kiss turned deep and passionate.
Clacking footsteps echoed down the hallway and both pulled away. Sara stood and waved her hand like a fan over her face, trying to cool herself and remedy her red face. Grissom quickly straightened his shirt and pushed out the creases from his pants. He turned back to the table and picked up his cold coffee and took a swig, then grimaced. Catherine rounded the corner and didn't look too happy. She headed straight for Grissom as he stood up and without a word she stopped in front of him, only a foot between them. Grissom looked at Sara, who just shrugged.
"Gil, You better start doing your job or the results won't be pretty." Catherine stood with her hands on her hips.
Grissom swallowed and looked at Sara again. "Don't look at me."
He turned back to Catherine and sighed. "What did I do this time? Forget to sign something, missed a meeting, lost paperwork, what?" He tried talking calmly, but her stance was beginning to make him nervous.
"Greg has been listening to his music full blast again, Warrick is pissed off and Nick's angry beyond words. He ripped Greg's CD player lead out the wall and that now makes Greg an unhappy lab rat."
"And you?"
"I'm mad because they're all mad. Now that makes you two." Catherine points to Sara and him accusingly. "The only happy and contented people in the lab. Do something Grissom." She turned around and stalked in the direction of the exit.
