Later that evening, Nikki, Keri, and Sara decided to shop for a bathing suit for Sara.
"What about this one?" Keri asked as she pulled it off from the rack. It was a one-piece and purple.
Sara gave her a look of disgust.
Keri snickered and put it back on the clothing rack as Nikki walked up to them with a red two-piece bikini.
"What about this one?" Nikki asked, holding it up.
Sara looked at it before answering.
"I like it."
"Do you think Professor Grissom will like it on you?" Keri asked, smirking.
"Do you think he should come? Do you think he would say yes?"
"There's only one way to find out." Nikki said, suddenly seeing him over Sara's shoulder.
"Yeah, I'll ask him tomorrow."
"Why do it tomorrow when you can do it today?" Keri asked when she saw Nikki's eye widen as she saw him.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Turn around." Nikki said, grinning ear to ear.
Sara turned around and saw Grissom only a few feet from the Jewelry Shop.
"Oh, god." She muttered.
She turn back to face her girls, who were telling her to go over to him.
"I can't! What if he's shopping for his girlfriend or wife?" Sara said as she walked around her friends to hide from him.
"Sara, how do you know that? He might be over there looking for jewelry for you." Nikki said.
"Why would he do that? He doesn't even know me!"
"Sara, you guys almost kissed."
"You guys kissed?!" Keri shouted.
Grissom turned his head as Sara pulled her two friends away from him.
"Speak loud enough, Keri?" Sara hissed.
"Sorry." She said, embarrassed.
"We didn't kiss. We didn't do anything!"
"He's coming over here." Nikki said under her breath.
"Damn you, Keri." Sara hissed under her breath.
"Sara?" Grissom said as he approached them.
Sara turned around with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Professor Grissom."
"I thought I told you to call me Grissom." He said, smirking.
She laughed nervously, and clasped her hands together. "Grissom," she began. "What are you doing here?"
"Just looking around. You?"
"Shopping for a bathing suit."
"Oh, you're going away for Spring Break, huh?" He asked with a frown.
"Uh, yeah, I am. I am going to Hawaii."
"That sounds fun. I hope you girls enjoy that." He turned to leave and Sara looked at her friends and both of them made a 'shoo' motion with their hands.
"Uh, Grissom, wait up." Sara said as she walked quickly beside him.
"Yes?" He asked.
"This is probably wrong for me to say and too forward..." Her voice trailed.
Grissom looked at her. She looked at him.
Oh, god. Could she do it? Can she say it?
"Would you like to come to Hawaii with me?" She said so quickly that she had to catch her breath.
"Um," he looked down at the floor and then back up at her. "I don't know what to do about this."
She sighed and started to walk away from him.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
She turned around to face him.
"I'm sorry."
He let go of her arm and stood there.
"It's okay. It was really stupid of me to ask you." She said with a smile.
She walked back to her friends who stood there and witnessed the whole thing.
Sara paid for the red bathing suit and they walked out of the store department.
