A/N: This one just came to me. Funny how stories can just sneak up at you. I think it is a good second chapter to "Not mine to give". As always: Please R&R, your comments are much appreciated.
Pairing: N/S
And I will wait
for you
Until the end of days
Just
to catch a glimpse of the smile
You don't seem to wear anymore
A broken smile
Enough to satisfy my craving
And I will love you
I will love you more tomorrow than I did today
Nick entered his apartment. He was angry, angry with everyone, angry with Grissom, angry with Sara, angry with God for that matter. He knew he wasn't being fair, but Grissom had pushed the right buttons. He closed his eyes while he lay down on his bed, remembering no reliving every single word that had been said.
---------------------------------------------------
"She tells me you two are together."
It had been more of a question than a statement. He had hesitated with his answer, which gave Grissom the opportunity to continue.
"So are you happy to be in this position? To be second best? You always will be, you know. Doesn't it keep you up at night? That she is thinking of me instead of you?
He had come up with a response, but it felt inadequate as soon as it left his mouth.
"She has chosen me."
Grissom arrogantly smiled at him. "Because she didn't know she had a choice."
---------------------------------------------------
"Was it true?" He wondered as doubt crept through his mind. Would she do that to him? The Sara who had entered his life and claimed a place in his life wouldn't do something like that, would she? But if she did, did he care. Would he be satisfied with less than all of her heart? Could he give her up?
He hadn't heard her coming in until he felt her hand on his arm. He looked up, immediately noticing she was aware of his feelings, sensing his doubt, his insecurities. He started to open his mouth when she put her finger on his lips, silencing him.
"Do you trust me," she whispered.
He could only nod, mesmerized by her chocolate brown eyes. All the anger he had felt just a few minutes ago left his body instantly.
"Then you know there was no choice to make, because I love you, I love you more today than I loved you yesterday and tomorrow I will love you even more."
When she kissed him softly, he felt like he was falling into unknown depths. He was falling hard. He didn't mind as long as he was falling with her.
