Fun and Fancy Free
Grissom hated paperwork, he'd find almost any excuse to avoid it if he could. Tonight he figured on trying to get it all taken care of for a few days that way he could work the next case that came in with Sara. Things were going well between them and he wanted to make sure he kept the ball rolling. After about an hour or so of the mind numbing task, he'd found himself restless. "Maybe a little music would help', he thought as he approached the small boombox he kept in his office. 'Now where are those CD's I have around here,' finding a few stashed in his desk he immediately found what he wanted and popped it in. The light jazzy tune began to softly fill his office as he sat down to the task at hand.
It didn't take long for him to get into the tunes wafting softly through the air. He began a rhythmic tapping of his foot with the beat and started to really groove to the beautiful music. Being so absorbed in the music he had failed to notice the young woman standing in his doorway staring at him in disbelief.
---------------------------------------------------
Sara stood at his door not believing her eyes, it was Grissom all right, but it sure wasn't acting like him. When the next tune came over the speakers her grin widened to a full smile as she recalled the familiar childhood tune. It only lasted a moment or two before looked up to see her grinning at him like the Cheshire cat from his doorway.
The red rising on his cheeks he reached out to turn it off, but before his hand could make it she was next to him with her hand on his.
"No, please, leave it on. I love this song."
Not knowing what to say he just stared at her for a moment until the song was over. Finally when he reached out he decided to just lower the volume instead seeing how much she was enjoying it.
"Vince Guaraldi , Linus and Lucy. Written in 1961 for a documentary filmed by Lee Mendelson on Charles Schultz and his beloved Peanuts characters," she said as though this information was everyday common knowledge.
Grissom smiled before continuing, "Guaraldi called Mendelson a few days later and actually played the tune over the phone for him before he'd even written it down. Unfortunately it wasn't until years later when they were commissioned to do a Christmas special that the rest of us were introduced to this wonderful melody by way of ''A Charlie Brown Christmas'. And the rest, as they say, is history."
Her eyes were glossy with admiration for this man who retained the most seemingly insignificant details about things, just as she herself could. "When you said Jazz, I thought maybe something a little more.", not knowing what to say she trailed off hoping he would finish the sentence for her.
"Adult?" His smile played at the corners of his mouth threatening to reveal itself at any moment.
"I'm not sure 'Adult' is the right word for it, but yeah. Maybe something more melancholy or brooding."
His eyes darkened a little, which did not go unnoticed by Sara, "Why, don't you think I can be fun and upbeat?"
Although attributes she wouldn't normally prescribe to Gil Grissom, she could see the hurt in his eyes and figured she'd better try to say something nice. "I never said that you didn't know how to have fun, but I've never been witness to that particular side of you either."
He relaxed a little at that and gave her a small smile, "Oh really," he moved a little closer, "well I think I'll have to introduce you to that side of me sometime."
She could feel his breath on her face and the redness immediately began spreading up her chest, onto her neck, and across her face. She looked at the dark blue orbs that were his eyes and thought she saw a little sparkle in them. Before she could get an in depth analysis the atmosphere was interrupted by a slightly taken aback Warrick.
"Hey Griss," he said looking at his papers as he entered the doorway, "I think we might have.," he looked up to see Sara turn suddenly and walk a few feet away from Grissom. Not sure what was going on he instinctively stepped back and said, "uh, I can come back later if you're busy."
Grissom not really bothered by the slight intrusion said, "No Warrick, we were just finishing up. What do you have."
---------------------------------------------------
Sara went to freshen up in the ladies room for a few minutes after she quickly excused herself from Grissom and Warrick. She knew Warrick had wondered what he'd seen, or to be more specific, what he hadn't seen. What the hell had Grissom been doing? For a moment she'd convinced herself he was going to kiss her, but when she thought about it more she realized he would never take such a risk at work. Maybe he just wanted her to think he was going to kiss her to see how she'd react. Sara sighed a long frustrated sigh and thought about their situation. She was tired of these little games. Tomorrow after breakfast she was gonna make a move. See if she could push him just a little further. Her smile grew wider and wider as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. 'Tomorrow morning Grissom you're all mine!'
I hope some of you are still interested in this. Gonna finish up either one or two more chaps.
