Part 6
" Mom that was delicious. Your lucky none of us have moved back home. I
could get used to having home cooked meals everyday." Nick said as he
finished his last bite. " That is not an option young man and you know it.
" I know that. I realize I have to say something to her. I can't just hide
from it. I have no choice but to tell her and hope that she feels the same
way." " How could she not love you too? I raised you to be a gentleman and
any girl with sense would find that attractive. From what you have told me
about her I think that she loves you too. She just hasn't realized it yet.
" His mom got up and patted him on the back. " I have some stuff that I
have to take care of this morning. If you need something to do you could
always go see what your father is up to. Lunch is still at noon." " Thanks
mom. I will see you later."
" What can I get to get you started?" Their waitress asked. " I'll
have a Bloody Mary." " Sara it is only 8 a.m. " " Fine I will have some
orange juice." Sara told her. " I'll have the same." " I'll go get those
and be back to take your order." " Greg what I am about to tell you can
never be repeated." " I won't tell a soul." Sara started to tell him all
about it. Leaving out a few details. She only stopped long enough to order
food. " We had a deal and the first chance he had he told Warrick." Sara
finished. " Sara he didn't have time. He ran out right after you without
saying a word to either of us. " He told her before he took a bite. " You
mean he didn't say a word to anyone? What have I done? The things I accused
him of. They were horrible. No wonder he left. I would have done the same
thing. I have to find him and apologize. Grissom has to know where he is."
" Good luck getting it out of him. His lips are as tight as a frog's ass.
Warrick and I already tried to get it out of him." " I still have to find
him." " Sara maybe you should wait until he gets back. He probably left so
that he could figure out what he is going to do. He has some things to sort
out." " Greg do you know something that I should know?" Sara asked him.
" No. Even if I did it would probably be something that he should be
telling you and not me. You have stronger feeling for him than just
friendship don't you? Don't try denying it; I can see it in your eyes. Have
you told him? Of course not, you have to tell him otherwise you will be
miserable. Just think how you would feel if Nick dated, married and had
children with someone other than you. I know a little bit how that would
feel." Greg told her. Sara knew that Greg had a crush on her. She never let
on that she knew. That would only cause unnecessary awkwardness on both
ends. " Greg you are too wise for your age. I do love him. So much that it
hurts. I can't stand it when I see him with other women and looks happy
with them. It knocks the breath right out. I don't know what to do." She
said almost in tears. Greg handed her a tissue and said, " You will just
keep on living, just like I did, if you wait long enough the right one will
come along just like it did for me. " " Greg, who is the girl? Is it
someone I have seen you with? Come I spilled my guts out to you. Your
turn." Greg told her how he met her in the laundry room of his apartment
building and that she had just moved to Vegas and was staying with her
brother until she found a job and a place of her own. Luckily the apartment
across the hall from him had opened up and she moved right in. She found a
job working in one of the casinos. They spent every moment they could
together. " Greg you are one sly dog. Dating Katrina for six months and
none of us were the wiser." Sara said. " If you don't mind I would like to
keep this between us. You know how Warrick and Nick are. They would tease
me to no end for not telling them." " It will be our secret." Sara told
him.
