Bitter Sweet

It was a slow rough day at work and Catherine couldn't wait to get home! Not just because she was board shitless, but she was meeting Sara after work for a drink and a video. Finally shift was over and she could go!! :)

She rushed home and Sara was already there sitting on the couch. "Oh sorry Sara my shift went longer and then Grissom and oh!" explained Catherine, "It's ok Cath, you don't have to explain." "I'm still sorry," she stopped when she noticed that Sara was smirking a little at her, "what?" "Nothing!" "Why are you so good to me?" Catherine asked, but didn't want a reply. "So did you get a movie?" Catherine asked Sara, "Yea I picked it up on the way home." She replied. Catherine looked at Sara for a moment and noticed a certain twinkle in her eye, "What did you get?" Catherine asked her in a stern tone. "Hey don't worry it's not that bad! Don't you trust me?" "Sara I know what sort of movies you like and what sort of mood you're in after work so." said Catherine.

Catherine moved over to the lounge room and sat on the couch while Sara got herself and Catherine a drink and put the movie in. As soon as the opening credits came on Catherine new what movie Sara had picked for them both. "Girl Interrupted. My favourite movie. That's what you were smiling about before." Stated Catherine "yea I sort of wanted to surprise you so.Surprise!" Said Sara, staring intently at Catherine. About half way into the movie (into the s*a*d parts) a tear rolled down Sara's cheek. Catherine noticed it and pulled Sara closer to her and put her arm around her shoulders. Sara was enjoying the attention she was receiving from the other woman and moved in closer to Catherine so she could smell her sent 'oh she smells like vanilla!' thought Sara. Catherine smiled to herself and turned to face Sara. "Ya know we don't have to watch the movie." Suggested Catherine. "Why. What else did you have in mind?" Sara asked her sounding slightly annoyed, as she whipped the tear rolling down to her chin. With that Catherine moved even closer to Sara (if that's possible) and planted her lips on Sara's. It was the most intimate kiss either one had experienced. "Oh that's what you had in mind Cath." Catherine started to unbutton Sara's shirt and kissed her way down her chest. Then Sara undid Catherine's shirt and tried un-doing her bra with one hand while the other one was busy running fingers through Catherine's strawberry blonde hair. After a while Sara finally managed to discard Catherine's bra and continued to plant kisses down her chest. Catherine slowly moved her hands around Sara's waist and un-zipped the back of her skirt and threw it carelessly on the floor. Then before Sara could say "Catherine" Sara was completely naked from head to toe. Then well.. You can guess what happened next. After their late night activities Catherine got up from the couch to get a glass of water. When she got back she saw Sara was sleeping like a little baby. Catherine went to the linen closet and got out a blanket for her. She walked back to Sara and draped the blanket over herself and Sara. Catherine kissed Sara's forehead then fell asleep.

Sara woke up at about 3am and noticed that they were sleeping on the couch. "Aww that doesn't look to comfortable." She picked up Catherine in her arms and headed for the bedroom. She slipped Catherine under the sheets and got in herself. Within say 5 minutes of stroking Catherine's hair Sara fell back asleep.

Sara woke up early that following morning and went out to get them both some breakfast. When she came home Catherine was still asleep, huddled up on one side of the bed. Sara went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast which consisted of; croissants, hot coffee, and grapefruit. She entered the room with breakfast on a tray table. She noticed Catherine was awake now and wondered if she had woken her with the noise she had produced in the kitchen. "Oh did I wake you babe?" Sara asked "No" Catherine replied "I was already awake. Oww you made breakfast?" Said Catherine with a slightly croaky voice and only half opened eyes. "Yep everything you like!" Sara said sounding a little too perky for Catherine fist thing in the morning. "Sounds good to me. How long have you been awake for?" "Umm I dunno about a half hour." "That's not too bad. I didn't hog the bed or anything? Did I?" Asked Catherine "Nope not at all. Your fine as far as that goes," Replied Sara "Now how's about that breakfast?" Catherine decided that she didn't want to eat in bed because her food wouldn't digest properly (actually she just didn't want crummies in her bed) so they ate at the table instead. Sara said that she would clean up and that Catherine should go take a shower while she did so.

Catherine emerged from the shower with a white towel wrapped around her and soaking wet hair that had now turned a brown color because it was wet. "Nice towel!" Said Sara slightly sarcastic. "Thanks but I can get rid of it if you want?" Said Catherine in a seductive tone. "That's ok sexy you go get dressed." Said Sara, still whipping down the table. "YES MA'AM!" Catherine said sternly. She walked into her bedroom and got dressed for work. Sara sat down and read the paper while she waited for Catherine.

Catherine came out of the bedroom wearing a black round neck top, a jacket and dark jeans. "Stunning!" said Sara.
