As you all know I do not own CBS, CSI or any of the characters. If I did I would be the happiest woman alive. Well, sorry for any delays here is the last chapter and I hope you all enjoy.
The rest of the week went by the same. Swimming... relaxing... tanning... dancing and just plain having fun time with friends before they need to go back home. On their last complete day and night there they decided to go back to the Karaoke bar and end a wonderful week just how it started... Perfectly.
The day began with them on the patio, relaxing and playing cards. They played a game called spite and malice and Greg was kicking butt. After cards everyone decided they would make a picnic lunch and head down to the beach for a day of rest and relaxation.
They also brought a ball and a Frisbee to play with. They got down to the beach and set up a volleyball net and decided to play for a little while. It was Grissom, Sara and Nick against Warrick, Catherine and Greg. The teams were divided pretty evenly. They played three games and Grissom's team won twice and Warrick's team won once.
"Wow, Grissom where did you learn to play like that?" Nick asked while giving him a high five and hugging Sara. As Sara gave Grissom a wry smile and pulled him into a hug he replied, "I used to play a little when I was younger and I guess my youth is returning with the good luck and happiness that had been returned to me.
Sara smiled knowing Grissom was talking about her and them finally getting together. He pulled her into a hug and said, "I love you honey!" As he licked his lips he pulled her towards his body and kissed her so deeply her toes started to curl as the heat traveled thru her body to her core.
The rest of the group smiled and went over to the blanket and started getting lunch ready. As Grissom pulled back from Sara they both smiled realizing the group went to go and eat. "Sara, let's go eat before Nick and Greg eat all the sandwiches!" he whispered breathlessly into her ear.
They sat on the blanket and Gill got a BLT while Sara got a egg salad sandwich. After lunch they just lay on the beach and tanned while some of the others swam. "This has been such a wonderful vacation. Thanks again Sara for bringing all of us" Greg said with a smile. "It was my pleasure and who else would I bring? You all are my family out in Vegas and we all needed a vacation. You should all thank Gil for getting it so we could all come together." She replied.
They all smiled and said, "Thanks Gil!!!" He looked sternly at all of them just long enough for all of them to get nervous and he smiled and started to laugh.
"We should head back up to the house and get cleaned up for Karaoke and dinner tonight." Grissom said. They all smiled and said, "Yes dad!" He laughed again. If it wasn't for Sara and this trip he would not be this close with the guys.
After they cleaned up their plates and cups, Nick and Greg folded the blanket and they all headed back towards the house. As they entered the house Nick and Greg returned the blanket and began cleaning the bag that had the food in it. Catherine and Warrick headed upstairs to take showers and get ready for dinner tonight.
Sara and Grissom headed into their room to get ready. "Sara" he whispered. "Yes Grissom" she whispered as she looked up into his eyes. "I want you to know that I Love you and when we get home I would like to continue this relationship with you, if you would like to of course." She smiled that 1000watt Sara smile and pulled him into a hug. As Grissom kissed down her neck she whispered, "It is all I have ever wanted from you, to just grow old with you.
Grissom smiled and asked, "Sara, love of my life. Can I make love to you?" Before she even answered she was kissing his lips and using her tongue to beg entry into his mouth. He groaned approval as he opened his mouth to her.
They made love with such passion like either of them have ever known. This time they were gentle, loving and sensual. They were listening and learning about each other through touch. Finding out what touches and caresses elicited moans and which ones made each other writhe with pleasure. When they both got to the brink and came together on such a level that nothing will now ever come between them. Not even work. They decided to shower separately so as not to make them late with all the playing they would definitely do.
Both showers were done as Sara said, "I am going to see if everyone is ready, come out when you are." He smiled as she kissed him and went on her way. As he finished getting ready he made sure he put the jewelry box into his pocket.
He headed out into the living room where everyone was ready and waiting. At that moment Greg stood up and said, "Just to show how nice a guy I am I called our friend Joe and he will be our driver for the night so we all will be able to drink and enjoy our last night on this wonderful island.
"Wow... Greg!!! That's really cool of you! Thanks" they all replied. He smiled and said, "Your welcome, now let's go party!" With that they all headed out to the limo and climbed in. Nick saw the mini bar and the champagne bottle and Joe said, "Go ahead Mr. Stokes. I got the bottle for you all to celebrate." Hearing the ok Nick grabbed the bottle and popped the cork and poured six glasses. Let's make a toast to Sara for this wonderful vacation and a toast to Grissom and Sara for finally getting together. We all wish you both the Best of Luck." Everyone replied, "To Grissom and Sara" and drank their champagne.
Joe pulled up to the Karaoke bar and dropped them off at the front door. They all went in and found a table as Grissom and Sara went to the bar to get the first round of drinks. Grissom looked over at Sara and asked what she wanted to drink. "Just a strawberry daiquiri please." Grissom on the other hand needed some courage and got a bourbon on the rocks. He ordered the rest of the drinks as Sara looked at him concerned. He smiled back and replied, "I am fine honey. I just wanted one that's all." She smiled back and kissed him as she grabbed a few of the drinks. "I will bring these back to the table" she whispered into his ear and licked the lobe.
As she walked back to the table she could feel Gil's eyes on her and she wiggled her hips for his benefit. When Grissom and Sara got back to the table Catherine got up and made an announcement. "Ok everyone has to sing at least one song. You can do it either alone or with someone."
Greg smiled and asked, "Who's going first?" Nick stood up and said, "I will." Walking up to the stage he asked the DJ to play 'Friends in Low places by Garth Brooks'. Everyone cheered him on and sang along with him. Catherine was next and she pulled Warrick up there. They decided to go with a classic, 'Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison.' Warrick did most of the singing as Catherine did backup and dancing. It was definitely erotic. Next was Greg, he got up and wanted to sing 'Nirvana Teen Spirit'. He new it by heart and just wanted to jump around on stage.
As Greg finished his song Catherine looked over at Grissom and Sara. Catherine smiled and asked, "Are you to singing together or separate?" Grissom grabbed a chair and to Sara's surprise said, "together!"
Sara was a little confused but followed him up on stage. He put the chair down and asked her to sit as he went to tell the DJ the song he wanted. Sitting there Sara got a little nervous but knew Gil would never hurt or embarrass her intentionally. He walked back next to her and whispered, "right now I just need you to sit here. You will know your part when it comes." She was still a little nervous but smiled when he held her hand. The song started and it sounded familiar but Sara couldn't place it. Gil started singing the song 'True Companion by Marc Cohen'
True Companion
By: Marc Cohen
Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel
And sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes, I'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion
So don't you dare and try to walk away
(At this point Gil gets down on one knee and he took the ring and continued singing)
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
(Sara sat there stunned as the tears slowly fell down her face)
I've got this vision of a girl in white
(Sara nodded her head yes and he slid the ring on her finger and pulled her into a hug as he kept singing)
Made my decision that it's you all right
And when I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll lift up your veil
Then I'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion
When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion
The song ended and the whole room was on there feet cheering and some even crying. "I love you Sara and you made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife.
When Gil and Sara headed back to the table by their friends. Everyone was smiling and hugging and congratulating them both. Catherine had tears in her eyes as she said in a quiet voice, "Congratulations Gil and Sara!!! You both finally did it." She brought Gil into a tight embrace and continued to cry.
Warrick went to get another round of congratulatory drinks for everyone. He felt something wet dripping on his forehead. As he raised his hand up to his head he looked up to see what could be dripping the water on his head.
Catherine was standing next to the break room couch where Warrick laid, sleeping and mumbling something about a round of drinks. As he opened his eyes he saw Catherine standing above him dripping water on his head.
She smiled and asked, "Are you having that dream again?"
Warrick looked a little confused and then realized he must have fallen asleep while waiting on Greg to process the DNA sample from his last case. "Yeah, it was the same dream. We all went to Hawaii, Grissom and Sara got together and well, so did the both of us." He said with the blush rises up his neck to his face. "There was only one thing that was different." He said as he chuckled to himself.
"What was it Warrick? What was different?" she asked. "You know how usually Nick ends up with a beautiful Hawaiian model?" he replied will chuckling to himself a little louder.
"Yeah, what about it?" she asked again getting impatient.
"Well this time he didn't find a beautiful women. He woke up one morning on the floor with his arms wrapped around Greg!" he said while laughing hysterically.
Catherine couldn't contain herself now. "Are you serious? Maybe it's a sign?" she said jokingly.
Nick walked into the break room and noticed his friend and colleague laughing and asked, "What's so funny you two?"
Neither Catherine nor Warrick could talk so Nick continued with what he was originally going to ask. "Anyway, Greg and I were going to go see the movie 'Hero' do either of you care to join us?" Nick asked.
Warrick and Catherine looked at each other and began laughing hysterically again and couldn't stop. At that moment Sara came running into the break room all excited. "Oh my God. You guys will never guess what happened to me on the way here!!!" Warrick and Catherine stopped laughing and looked at each other and couldn't say anything.
Sara replied, "I won a trip to Hawaii and I can take five friends or family with me and I wanted to bring all of you!!! Isn't that so cool?"
Catherine and Warrick looked at each other and said, "What??? Oh Wow, maybe dreams do come true!"
The End
I hope you all enjoyed the story. I originally was going to let them end up together but a friend gave me an idea about ending it as Grissom dreaming and thought since everyone else at work knows they wanted each other why not have one of them have the dream.
Please Review and Let me know what you think!!!
