Chapter 20

"If you don't stop that I'm going to throw you in the pool." He said turning a page of his book.

"Stop what?" She asked playfully.

"Playing with my hair." He swatted her hand away and continued reading. Sara went back to playing with his brown curls and waited for him to put his book down and just as she waited, he place his book down and groaned. "Sara."

"What?" She said lightly as she tugged at a curl.

"That's it." He turned over and grabbed her waist.

"No, wait Gil, I'll stop I promise." She said backing away from him.

He shook his head and pulled her up. "No you won't, I know you. You'll go back to messing up my hair the minute I pick my book up."

"I will not." She said, but her grin broke through as he stared at her.

He backed her to the pool edge. "See and now you're going to pay." He looked her up and down and chuckled.

She put her hands on her hips and looked back at him. "And how do you expect to make me pay huh?"

Grissom approached her slowly and smiled. "By getting you wet." Before she could move he pushed her back, but she grabbed his arm and pulled him with her. "Ahh.Sara." He managed to shout before hitting the water with her.

"Aha. Your plan back fired." She giggled as he turned to her. Spying his soaking wet curls she cocked her head to one side and hummed.

He watched her curiously. "What?" As she swam over to him she smiled. "Sara?"

She stopped in front of him and ran her hands up his arms to his shoulders and pulled herself up as she wrapped her legs around his waist. "You look so sexy when you're all wet." She whispered seductively in his ear.

Grissom pushed his hands up her legs to her hips and looked into her eyes. "Not as much as you do." He said against her mouth. Tracing her lips with his tongue he slowly pulled the tie of her bikini and let it float away with the ripples they were making as he moved to the side of the pool. "I've never done it in a pool before." He admitted caressing the skin of her back.

Sara parted her lips slightly to let him suckle them. "Me neither." She giggled as he turned and pushed her against the cold side. "I need warming up. It's getting chilly." She said teasingly.

"Oh I'll warm you up." He chuckled pushing his tongue into her mouth, kissing her softly.

Pulling at his hips she ground against him, eliciting moans from both at the sensation. Her hands scraped his back as he pushed into her. Grissom pulled the rest of her bikini off and lifted her legs back to his waist. She re-wrapped them around him as he kicked off his bathers.

Moaning lightly and digging her nails into his shoulders as he entered her slowly, she kissed his ear and suckled on it. Bracing himself by holding the top of the pool either side of Sara he thrust into her hard and smiled as she groaned loudly into his neck. Her hands gripped tighter around his shoulders and he continued to thrust into her, a little harder and a little faster. "Oh Gil. God, yes." Her pleasurable words came in bursts as he increased tempo.

His mouth found hers and they kissed until there was no air left in their lungs. Breathing breathlessly Sara pulled at his hips, pulling him deeper into her. The feel of him inside her was enough to drive her crazy, but as he kept thrusting into her she became dizzy and light-headed at the glorious sensations he was evoking on her being.

Their foreheads rest against each other as he plunged into her one more time, letting their cries of ecstasy fill the pool. After a few minutes Sara playfully pushed him back and grinned. He laughed as she came closer to him. "I didn't realise you had it in you Gil." She said honestly, but with a glint in her eyes.

He backed away from her. "Anything for you." He said twirling in the water and laughing. "God I've never felt so good." He shouted.

"It's a good thing your uncle lives in the middle of nowhere." She giggled and swam towards him. "Otherwise we could be explaining why there were screams and shouting from the pool."

He danced around her and she mimicked him as they made a small circle in the middle of the pool. "That could be embarrassing." Grissom said laughing.

Locking eyes she turned serious. "Come here." She said stopping as he did. He moved closer to her and placed his hands on her hips. She smiled as she brushed his curls back. "I." She paused and looked up at the pure bright blue sky then back at his similar coloured eyes. "I love you."

Grissom's face was serious, not even a smile as he leaned forward to kiss her squarely on her lips, pulling back he said tenderly. "I love you too."

They pulled each other close and Grissom swung her round making her laugh. She held him tightly, as they stayed glued together for a long time, just revelling in how soft each other's skin feels.

Greg and Libby dated for a year, but Libby moved to Paris with her parents and Greg went to university. As did Nick and Nicola. Greg majored in Science DNA and substances, Nick and Nicola mastered in Human Biology, photography and a group of other sciences.

Warrick asked Catherine to marry him after college finished its third year and both also went to university, but across the state.

Grissom and Sara got what they wanted and that was to be forensic scientists and be together. Everyone else was working their way up with them and even worked together as a team at one point. Sara moved in with Grissom after he moved to Las Angeles and while Sara worked in their crime lab, Grissom taught and solved crimes with her, side by side. They were inseparable. After 6 months of living in LA Grissom and Sara got married and 4 months after that Sara became pregnant.

Now everyone had a life and was mostly happy after battling one hurdle after another, as there always was when the world turned against you, but each got through with the others help.

Life wasn't always easy, but it never planned to be in the first place. You had to work to get to a place you felt truly happy and it would take time that you have to make.
