Disclaimer: I do not own CSI
A/N: Here it is finally, sorry for the delay, this chapter is dedicated to my friends Chelsea and Megan who begged me to update this story, this is for you the future wives of Greg Sanders (at least that is what they dream about)
Greg was back in his lab, nothing else was needed from him. He had already given the DNA results to Grissom. Now all he could do was think about where his poll sheet was and why the heck the other lab techs had voted for Grissom and Sara.
"Why them?" he had asked Jacquie earlier, "I mean, why Grissom and Sara, what do they have that makes people think that they belong together?"
"Look at them for once Greg, really look at them."
"Uhh I do and all I see is a hot girl and a scary boss."
"No, look at their personalities, the way she tries so hard to get him to notice her, the way he tries to deny his feelings, try to look at their hearts and you can see that they are meant for each other."
"Ok, I think somebody has read too many romance novels."
But her words had stuck with him, he had thought about it and he was disappointed because he could see how perfect they were for each other, but still he thought, that does not mean she will go for him, I mean he won't even admit he loves her. Wait, I'm starting to sound like Jacquie, I have got to do something else before I start parading around the lab spouting romantic parables of wisdom.
So he got started working on a new poll, he just couldn't help himself, he had to get results and find out just what the lab techs thought would become of their favorite non-couple.
Nick and Catherine sat together in the Break Room; it was another slow and very boring night.
"Man can't we just get one case." Nick complained
"I know, I mean this is Sin City, you'd think there would be a murder every night."
"We could be like Grissom," Nick, said, making Catherine raise her eyebrows, "You know do paperwork to pass the time."
"Oh," She said, "I thought you meant being helplessly in love with a subordinate, but being clueless to the way she feels."
Nick laughed at that, "That is true; I just can't believe that everyone else can see it."
"No what I can't believe is that Sara loves Grissom."
"She does?" Someone asked from the doorway.
Nick and Catherine froze.
"Uh, hi Warrick," Catherine greeted timidly.
Sara was walking towards the Break Room when she heard the voices from inside.
"Then she said that she knew she loved him." It was the voice of Catherine.
"This is unbelievable." Now she heard Warrick's voice.
Her blood was beginning boil, they had betrayed her, just wait until she got her hands on Nick and Catherine.
"Wow, I can't believe that they like each other." Warrick said.
"Believe it." Sara said as she walked in an icy smile pasted on her face, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
The three of them swiveled there heads to look at the fuming brunette.
"Well I see you decided to spread the wonderful news, if you want you can call the media, I'm sure they would love to here about it as well."
They gave each other nervous glances.
"Sara, we had to tell him, he overheard us talking about it." Nick answered.
"By it you mean the poll."
"Exactly."
"Uh huh, did you tell him about the other most favorite couple?"
Catherine's eyes bulged, her palms began to sweat.
"What other couple?" Warrick asked.
"Oh the next most popular couple was you and Catherine, you should have seen her reaction when she found that out, I don't think I have ever seen her smile so wide in my entire life."
"Really?"
Catherine started to blush.
"Oh yes, she even wanted to know if you like her, so how about it, do you?"
"Uhh, I have to go." Catherine raced out of there.
Warrick stared, dumfounded at the place where Catherine had sat," You mean, she likes me?"
"Yeah, man," Nick said, "What are you doing here, go after her." And Warrick smiled at his friend, and took off after her.
Sara stood by the coffee pot, pretending to be intrigued by making herself a mug of coffee.
"I can't believe you just did that," Nick exclaimed, "Do you realize that you have just caused them to get together."
"I know, not much of a punishment I guess." She smiled. "Guess I just solved someone else's love life."
"You did something good; maybe we should try that with you and Grissom?"
"You do, you die."
Nick laughed.
"Still," Sara said, "At least someone is happy."
Later, Sara walked down the hallway towards the DNA lab. From the smiles Catherine and Warrick were showing things had gone well after he had chased after her, as if the secret looks towards each other hadn't been enough, they had also spent a very long time together in the Locker Room.
Now Sara was going down towards the DNA lab; something had bothered her all throughout shift. She had seen the lab techs passing around a piece of paper that looked suspiciously like a poll, now she had to confront Greg.
"Hey Greg."
"Hi Sara, have you come to run away with me so that we can elope and spend our honeymoon is Paris."
"Nice try, um actually I am here because I saw some of the other techs passing around a poll."
Greg suddenly became very nervous.
"A...poll?"
"Yeah, know anything about it?"
"No! I um have to go make " And he rushed away from Sara's interrogative glare."
After he had left, Sara proceeded to search his desk. She opened drawers and looked under various objects. It wasn't until she looked under the chair that she finally found the elusive piece of paper taped to the underside of the chair.
"You can run Greg, but you can't hide." Then her blood ran cold when she saw what the poll was about.
Grissom/Sara: Who Will Make the First Move?
Underneath the title there were several categories:
Grissom: 0
Sara: 7
Neither will do it out of fear of rejection: 5
Neither because Sara is in love with a certain cute DNA analysis lab tech: 1
Just wait until she got her hands on Greg.
Sara was seeing red by the time she bumped in to a grinning Catherine out side of the Break room.
"Look at this," she told the blonde.
Catherine's eyes widened, but she couldn't help but smirk. But her little grin faded when she saw the smoke coming out of Sara's ears.
"How could you tell Greg that I like Grissom." She yelled.
"She didn't." a voice said from behind her, "But you just did."
Sara turned to see that spiky haired lab rat smiling like Cheshire cat from the Break Room doorway.
"I...I...I" she stammered.
"I can't believe this, it's true, you really do like each other."
"Shut up Greg." Sara yelled. Greg quieted real fast.
"If you tell anyone that I like Grissom you're going to be the next body on Doc Robbins's table"
"I think she means it Greg." Catherine said quietly.
'Don't worry Sara, my lips are sealed."
"They better be." Sara said as she walked away.
"You know Sara, Grissom is, you know Grissom, he might not come around, but I could be a worthy substitute."
"Uh huh, sure Greg," She smiled sarcastically and walked away. Catherine followed her.
Greg smiled a devilish grin, "My lips may be sealed," he said aloud, "but my pen sure ain't" and he walked away to his desk to start a new poll.
I will update the next chapter much sooner, Grissom will make an apperance in the next chapter
