An: This is the good stuff now. Amy – here is a G/S one for ya.
Grissom entered the stairwell of Sara's apartment complex, as he was about to descend he heard footsteps on the hard steps. He checked his watch, 11.47am. It could be her. He faced two choices. He could turn around, remove the messages and face her. Or, he could hide and face her another time. He made a split summer decision to go with the latter, the notes expressed his feelings far better than he could ever voice.
As quickly and quietly as he could he made his way up a floor, peering around the corner. Almost immediately the familiar form of Sara Sidle drifted past. He again felt his stomach turn over. Had he done the right thing? "I guess it's too late now!" he breathed out.
Sara emerged from the stairwell and made her way down the hall while going over in her mind moves from her second judo class. She searched for her keys while she glanced up at her door, at which she did a double take. What was going on, had she missed another residents meeting again.
"I'm sorry?" She read out the first message to grab her attention with confusion. "What's going on?"
She read on, "Please forgive me…Let me try to get this right…I need you..." Then she saw it, "I called by, you weren't home. GG". Could this all be from him? Would anyone tease her like this? She looked at her door and all of the messages and her heart filled with hope, she read on. As the tears flowed down her cheeks she heard soft footsteps behind her, she didn't dare turn around.
"I think I know what to do now"
Her face broke into an unmatchable smile and the tears flowed faster, "oh yeah" her voice broke on the first syllable.
"Yeah" his grin matched hers. He placed one hand on her hip and turned her around. "Don't cry anymore" He gently wiped her tears away with his thumbs as he cupped her cheeks.
"So? What are you gonna do? She said with laughter playing in her voice.
"Hummm" he grinned leaning in for a kiss. Before his lips could meet hers, "AH, Sara I see you found your visitor."
"Mmm, yes Mrs Delaney" Sara grinned
"So is he the boyfriend then?"
"Something like that. This is Gil Grissom"
Her introduction sparked him into life, he held out his hand "Pleased to meet you Mrs Delaney, thank you for your help this morning." Sara gave him a quizzical look as Mrs Delaney shuffled down the hall. "Help?"
He laughed as he explained, "she offered to take a message, or suggested that I leave a note."
"Ahhh, I see." He leaned in and gently brushed his lips against hers. Before the kiss could progress and further the hall was filled with the untimely symphony of two irate pagers screaming for attention.
