Grissom woke up startled by his surroundings. He looked around and then he realized where he was and whom he was with. He looked down at Sara, he eyes still puffy from crying, he thought she would be so embarrassed if she knew she looked like this, he thought she looked beautiful lying there sleeping. He had an urge to go to the bathroom, but he didn't want to wake her up. She tried to slip out from under her, but she stirred.
"Griss?"
"Yes, Sara."
"Are you in my bed?"
"Yes, Hun, I am in your bed, I stayed here lastnight with you, do you remember?"
"Yes, I remember, I was just making sure it wasn't a dream!" She leaned in snuggling into his chest, "Thank you!" she muttered into his chest.
"For what?"
"For being her for me, for not judging me, just for being you!" she lifted her head up and brushed her lips against his chin. It sent sparks through her.
Grissom got up and ran to the bathroom. Oh no, what have I done? she asked herself Way to go Sidle, you chased him away, he was this close and you chased him away, what were you thinking! Sara sat up in bed with her head in her hands; she looked down and realized she was still fully dressed. She began to sob again when there was an arm around her shoulders.
"Sara, you ok?"
"Griss?"
"Yes, Hun, are you ok?"
"You got up, I just figured that I chased you away, I figured that all my demons finally chased you away from me."
"Sara, you don't even know about my demons, how do you know that my demons won't chase you away?"
"Griss, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Am I presumptuous to think that there is something going on here?" She looked down and played with her fingers, "I mean with us, is there something going on here between us?"
"I don't know what to tell you Sara, it is a lot to digest, what do you want? Do you want there to be something going on between us?"
"Griss, do you even have to ask me, I mean really! How many times did I ask you out? Do I want something to go on between us, what do you think?"
Grissom leaned over and kissed her lips. He lingered for a minute before she granted him access to the confines of her mouth. They shared the kiss for a few moments and then broke it.
"I'm sorry Sara, I didn't meant to push."
Sara leaned over and put her fingers on his lips, "Shh" she said as she leaned in and kissed him again, "You didn't push, do you know how long I have been waiting for you to kiss me? Do you have any idea?"
"Almost as long as I have been waiting to kiss you?"
"Chances are!"
"So now what? Where do we go with this? What is our next step?"
"I think you need to know a bit about me, about my demons!"
