Chapter Eight
Sara was cooking cheese omelettes, while Grissom watched her. Drinking his coffee he turned and walked around her apartment, looking at the books and music on her shelves. He put his coffee down and picked up a CD. He put it into the player and turned the volume up a little. Satisfied with his choice, he headed back to the kitchen, coffee in hand and sat on one of the stools at Sara's breakfast bar.
Sara handed him a plate and joined him. They ate and talked about what they were going to do after eating. Sara knew exactly what she wanted to do and that was to sleep, but she also wanted Grissom to be there with her.
"Well, I want to sleep for a few hours, but." Sara was going to continue, but stopped as she turned to face him.
Grissom put his fork down and looked at the floor. "Sounds good.you.want some company?" He looked up at her and smiled mischievously making her laugh.
She collected the plates and put them in the sink while Grissom went to turn the music off. Walking up to him, she leaned in and kissed him softly. She grabbed his hand and led him to her room. Grissom stripped down to his boxers and climbed into her bed. Sara did the same, but put on an old T- shirt and shorts. She snuggled up to him and rested her head on his chest. Grissom held her close and sighed contentedly.
"Griss?" She asked into his chest.
"Yeah"
"What took so long?" She raised her head to look at him.
Grissom opened his eyes and looked down at her. "What do you mean?" He knew what she was asking, but wasn't sure how to tell her. He can show emotion, but doesn't very often. Talking about it was harder.
Sara knew this, but tried anyway. "Us.Why'd it take us so long to get together? Granted it's only been one day, but it feels like it's been longer, don't you?" She looked down, not able to keep eye contact.
Grissom pushed up her chin and spoke softly. He felt it was time to share those closed off feelings and that would only happen with one person and that person is Sara. "I was scared, Sara.to let you in." She nodded for him to continue. "I have tried, but I always seemed to do something wrong.and push you away in return.it wasn't my intention, Sara, you have to understand that." Grissom caressed her face and she leaned into his hand.
"Yesterday morning when you kissed me, I couldn't believe what was happening and again later in the afternoon. It was like a dream come true, Sara..." A tear escaped and ran down her cheek. He wiped it gently away with his thumb. "And to answer your question, yes it does feel like a lot longer and I think that's because we've been good friends for many years. We know a lot about each other, but we are also still learning. that's what makes a good relationship and that's what this is, a good.no, a great relationship." Sara grinned and Grissom pulled her into a warm embrace and kissed her hair.
She pulled away and looked at him. "Thank you."
"For what?" Grissom asked, confused.
"For sharing with me."
He pulled her to him again and kissed her deeply, which soon turned passion. Grissom pulled Sara's T-shirt over her head and rolled them so that he was lying over her.
****
She screamed his name as he fell on top of her. The weight was welcomed as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his neck. Grissom lifted his head off her shoulder and looked into her eyes, such love seen there and it reflected his. He kissed her softly and pulled her to him as he turned to lay on his back. Sara laid her hand on his chest as he pulled the sheets over them. They fell asleep in each other's arms for the first time.
It was late in the afternoon when the two lovers stirred, the sun was going down and the streetlights where coming on, the streets where quiet, but the city buzzed with activity in the distance.
