Title: Drunken Memories

Summary: Sara wakes up at Catherine's house after a drunken stupor hits her.

Rating: PG for mild femmeslash

Sara woke up. She smelled soap. Then, she realised that she didn't know where she was. She struggled in the blankets that she was wrapped up in. She slipped out of the blankets that she was wrapped up in and landed on the ground. She lifted her head and looked around her. She recognised where she was. She was at Catherine's house in the living room. Sara had slept on the couch. She heard a shower running in the other room. Lindsey bounded into the living room and sat on Sara's lap. Sara spoke quietly to Lindsey, stroking the hair of Catherine's beloved daughter. The shower shut off and a towel wrapped woman with blonde hair walked in to the living room. There stood a beautiful Catherine. She had a pink towel wrapped around her slender body.

"That hard water really takes its toll on my skin. Makes it dry." Catherine said. She flipped her hair and commanded Lindsey to go take her bath. Lindsey obliged.

"Why am I here?" Sara asked, her voice choking up at the sight of a half-naked Catherine.

"You got drunk on some beer last night. You couldn't drive home, so you crashed here. You were talking about going to play golf. I didn't know you liked golf." Catherine said. She walked to her room and started to dress.

Sara called from the living room, "I don't like golf."

"I didn't think so. You were really drunk. You were out like a train in a train wreck." Catherine said. She came out of her room, fully dressed in a provocative tank top and mini-skirt. Sara's jaw dropped. Catherine pretended not to notice. She started to brush her hair, little droplets of water spraying on the ground. Catherine finished brushing her hair and went to the kitchen. Sara padded in after her. Catherine picked up a coffee filter and stuck it in the coffee maker. "I stole some of Greg's coffee from work."

Sara smirked when she thought of what Greg would do when he found out. Sara debated whether or not to confront Catherine about last night. She wanted to know if she had done anything really foolish. Ashamed, Sara told Catherine that she had to go. She gathered her belongings. Scatter brained, She left her sock at Catherine's house. She got into her car and drove home. She didn't know what her destination was. She drove aimlessly, trying to remember what had happened the night before. When he arrived home, she looked down at her foot and remembered her sock wrapped up in the blankets. "Bugger." She cussed at herself.

*****

Catherine bumped into Sara in the hallway of CSI. Catherine stopped Sara in the hallway and pulled an object out of her pocket. She grinned widely as she turned over the sock. As Sara took the sock, her finger brushed Catherine's hand. She blushed. "Sara, do you want to come over after work?" Catherine asked. She held half the sock with her left hand while Sara held the other half.

"Sure." Sara said. She gently tugged on the sock and put it in her pocket. She smiled at Catherine. The two went their separate directions. Sara couldn't get Catherine off her mind. The beautiful woman was stealing her heart, but she couldn't let Grissom know.
