Chapter Four. Take It To The Limit
"Greg what did you find with the finger nail I gave you?"
Greg looked up with wide eyes. Grissom looked as normal as ever, his concrete mask on.
"Well it's a female's finger nail alright, nail polish on it. Crimson red. But this is what I find strange...it's as if it were planted there. There is no soil where there should be. If this was ripped off which I'm sure it was it would have blood on it making it soggy...so obviously..."
"The soil would stick to the blood."
"Yeh...so it looks as if this was ripped off earlier and planted later at the crime scene."
"What else?"
Grissom stared at Greg while he looked at the cigarette butt which was also found at the crime scene.
"Well this butt which Sara found, it has lipstick on it...so it also came from a female. I think it's from the same woman...look the shade of the lipstick matches with the nail polish. I found nothing else unsual."
"Right if you find anything else page me."
"Sure thing Boss."
Grissom walked round the corner and made his way to his office when Sara caught his eye. She was wearing her normal clothing. A dark blue tank top and her black trousers. Her hair was in a different style; it made her look more beautiful. He took a deep breath and walked over to her a small smile plastered to his lips.
"Sara...can I speak to you..in my office...in private?"
She looked at him. Her watery gaze breaking his heart. She thought about it for a moment and stopped walking.
"Look Grissom if it's for another one of your so called warnings I don't want to hear it ok. I'm doing my job to the best of my ability... isn't that good enough?"
"Sara...please?"
She gave in. After giving a heavy sigh she made her way to his office, closing the door softly behind her. She turned around and looked Grissom in the eyes. His bright blue ones staring at her dark brown ones.
"Ok...Sara yesterday...I upset you, I didn't mean to it wasn't the purpose of the talk. I just needed time with you...god...i...what I'm trying to do is apologise."
Sara gave a laugh at his apology. Is that all he thought of her? A sorry and she would feel better. Oh no it wasn't going to work out like that!
"Grissom...it's not going to change anything. You saying sorry...it makes this situation worse. I have feelings for you and I have bottled them up for so long..and I need you so much Griss..and you just don't see it. I wake up in the morning glad that I'm going to be working next to you..just seeing you brightens my day up. But it all changed after I asked you out..and it was obvious you don't have feelings for me. Turning me down..."
Sara gave a little sob, she knew she could continue this..she just couldn't understand why she was still feeling so shattered inside.
"When you turned me down...i thought that was it...my life was over. Grissom won't want me working here anymore...but you did the next best thing...you ignored me. It seems as if at times you hate me...for who I am. I love you Griss...and I can't change the way I feel about you. I've felt this way a long time and it's never going to go away. But it hurts knowing I feel something so strong for you...and you...just...don't feel...the same!"
Grissom watched as the tears fell from Sara's face. She looked too tured to be in working today. Her beautiful face was pale and red with the tears she was shedding. He felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He knew he should be over there comforting her but he didn't know how. He didn't know how to make someone feel better other than himself.
"I...oh god Sara!"
He ran over to her and put his strong arms around her waist, comforting her speaking soothing words into her fresh smelling hair. He kissed her forehead. He wanted her pain to go away. He rubbed small circles over her back to calm her down, she had stopped sobbing, and now you could here a little hiccup here and there. The front of his shirt was wet with her tears, but he didn't care. She was in his arms and that was all that mattered. He pulled her away from him to look into her eyes. What he saw there was pain and love. How he wanted to make that pain go away, but it was too far- gone. He had hurt her so many times he didn't think she couldn't take another turn down. He kisses her forehead again and smiled. Her eyes sparkled as she smiled back at him.
"I know you probably think I'm a stubborn bastard Sara...but I don't know how to handle this."
He moved his hands through the air gesturing to their relationship. "It's always been there...that special something with us. I care for you so much, but we can't start something Sara...I'm your boss. It's unethical...and people would think I was giving you special attention. Hey..i'm so much older than you...you could find some young handsome man and fall in love with him. Marry him and have beautiful children. I just don't think I'm the guy for you Sara."
He pulled away from her and turned around. He didn't want her to see the fresh tears forming in his eyes. He took a deep breath and turned round to see her looking at her feet.
"Griss...."
She said his name with the utmost respect and love. He liked it when she said his name; no one said it as nice as she did.
"I'm willing to try.."
She whispered and looked into Grissom's expecting eyes. Grissom took her hand in his and squeezed it gently, raising it to his lips. He kissed it tenderly.
"Sara, I want you so much. I need you, this is more than love I feel for you. It's too strong for it to be love..i just can't find the words to explain this to you. What if one of us lost our job over our relationship? I don't want to hurt you honey."
Sara inched forward towards Grissom. She could feel the heat in her groin. It grew until it was uncomfortable. She put her small tender hands to each side of his face and brought his bearded face to her lips. She covered them softly at first, then she was demanding. Grissom stood still for a moment not knowing what to do in the situation, finally he gave in and kissed her with all the pent up passion he had kept to himself. Their tongues where swirling all over the place. They were sucking and biting. Moaning and caressing. This felt too good.
Finally they both pulled away needing some oxygen, they both smiled. Grissom gave her another quick kiss on her swollen ips and squeezed her hand once again. As the mood was set Grissom's pager went off suddenly. He looked over to Sara's soft expression.
"Greg' found something new with the evidence we collected at the vics house. Come on. Lets go!"
They gave each other a quick kiss as they made their way out of Grissom' office.
"What have you got Greg?"
"Ah there you guys are..i was looking all over for you!"
"Sorry we got a little tied up." They both looked at each other and smiled. Greg could see that something had happened, they didn't smile at each other like that for no reason.
"Well..uh...ok Nick went over the scene again...and found a little piece of cloth right. Looked like a bit of a t-shirt...maybe ripped off while the perp and vic were fighting right? That's what I thought and then I took a closer look and it's from the perp. AND he was injured!!"
"Right...so we know his blood type. That's a big help Greg."
"Thanks boss.
Sara and Grissom headed for the car park. As they stood beside Grissoms car he opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He tried to say something once again, but Sara's lips covered his stopping anything that needed to be said.
He pulled away first and looked into her eyes laying his forehead against hers.
"We need to take this slow, we need to get used to the idea of us actually being together. I don't want anything happening to stop us loving each other Sara."
She nodded in agreement and squeezed his arm a little.
"Well...how about we go for our first date then? Breakfast? Your paying."
She laughed a little and gave Grissom a cheeky smirk.
"Anything for my girl"
He brushed his fingers across her cheek and got into his car. As they drove off they knew that after what had happened between them...hey couldn't go back to being normal friends. They were in love, and if love had felt this good along they would kick themselves knowing that they had missed so much valuable time.
I'm not stopping here folks it may seem boring right now but the action is coming! So hold onto your hats ad I'll post the next chapter up soon.
