Okay! I apologize profusely for taking so long to write this new chapter. I
had written about seven pages the other day, read them over, and knew it
was terrible. I want only to post the best of what I can write and I'll
tell you what I wrote the other day sucked. I am hoping that I do well with
this chapter. Of course we all know what's going to happen. They're gonna
board the plane and be on their way, it's just trying to write a good story
line that's the problem right now, I know exactly how this story is going
to end, but I just seem to be having a problem with this whole "plane"
thing and might just skip to them arriving there, but I know as well as
everyone else, that if I was one of you reading it, that'd tick me off,
because the funniest part of a story or anything for that matter is the
journey, not the destination, though I am gonna try to make both very fun.
Anyways, enough of my mindless chitchat you want to read the story. That is
if anyone ever really does read these, I know most the time I don't, and
might just be wasting precious time right now, when I could be writing the
story. So I'll shut up and write and hope that maybe you do read this part.
Okay, off to writing...
CSI Hawaiian Vacation
Chapter 7
"I am so excited I can't believe we're finally on our way." Greg said, jumping up and down in his seat as the plane started down the runway.
"Calm down Greg, we haven't even taken off yet." Catherine said, turning in her seat, looking to the right, at him.
Catherine then looked back in front of her, to see Sara, looking out the window, watching the ground move by faster and faster.
Finally the plane leapt off and they were flying high in the sky, watching Vegas turn into a miniscule picture.
"So Sara, did you pack everything that we bought, or throw out half of it?" Catherine said, a smile forming on her lips.
Sara turned and looked at Catherine. "No, I didn't throw it away, I packed everything. Why?"
Catherine grinned at the thought of seeing the look on Griss' face when he saw Sara in that bathing suit.
"I was just wondering. I know how you are sometimes."
Sara pursed her lips. "And how am I?" a smirk forming.
"Oh I don't know, I'll just say... complicated."
Sara smiled wryly. "Okay, whatever that's supposed to mean."
Sara blushed as she noticed Gris watching her out of the corner of his eye.
Catherine had convinced the team to buy tickets for the seats in the back of the plane, because the last two rows faced each other, which meant it was easier for them to carry conversations, than having to turn around in the seat all the time.
Catherine ended up sitting next to Warrick, which she was quite happy about, also her pure luck of being able to get Sara and Grissom next to each other, knowing that since they were on a plane, and neither one of them could go an hide somewhere, could drop little hints or questions pertaining to them and their relationship, or non-existent one and hopefully clean up the little mess between them and make them the happy people they once were.
She smiled, watching the two people in front of her.
Grissom seemed more detached then usual lately. He barley got within a foot of Sara, unless it had anything to do with a case. She watched them a couple weeks ago in the break room, noticing how they both went out of their ways to make sure there was as much space between them as possible.
She could also see the evident hurt in Sara's eyes, she felt that Sara also seemed to be hiding something, but lately Grissom hadn't kept distance between them.
Sara suddenly reached to the floor and picked up her carry on.
"Anyone hungry?" She said, rummaging through the bag.
Nick perked up at the thought of food and looked over at Sara.
"Whadaya got Sar?"
"Well Cath said I was to make snacks for everyone and I decided Chex Mix was the best and easiest bet."
"Throw em over Hon!" Nick said smiling brightly.
~Hon? Grissom thought, since when did Nick start calling her Hon? ~
Sara tossed over the bag and looked at the others.
Grissom snapped out of his thoughts. "I'd like on please."
Sara smiled as she pulled out another bag and handed it to him, noticing how he brushed her hand with his fingers as he took the bag.
That didn't go unnoticed by Catherine who sat there with a knowing smirk on her face.
Grissom pulled open the bag, picked out a couple of Chex and put them in his mouth and looked up and noticed Catherine smiling at him funny.
"What? You think I don't eat junk food once in a while?"
Sara smiled, "Actually it's not junk food, there's rice and other good things used to make the Chex, it's actually a very healthy snack."
Warrick burst out laughing; Sara in turn smiled her toothy Grin.
"What's so funny about what I said?" She said smiling.
"I don't know, it just struck me funny."
Sara looked down into her bag and pulled out another sack of Chex and opened it up and ate a couple.
The group now sat in silence, looking around at each other.
"Okay, why are we having such a hard time talking all of a sudden?" Catherine said breaking the silence.
"I think it might be because we're not at work." Sara said popping another Chex in her mouth.
"What does that have to do with anything, we go to breakfast sometimes after shift and we never have any problems."
"You have a point." Sara said smiling at Catherine.
Catherine tilted her head sideways. "I have an idea, lets each talk about something funny or big that happened to us, that's a good convo started and we'll also get to know each other better in the process."
Grissom looked up in surprise.
"What, Bugman, afraid of talking about himself, afraid he'll not be the mystery he usually is?" Catherine said smiling.
Grissom frowned. "I'm not a mystery, I just don't openly talk about myself."
Catherine rolled her eyes. "Duh!, Hello that just made you sound like an idiot."
Grissom rolled his eyes, "Okay, fine, how about you start with yourself Catherine. Tell us something we don't know."
Catherine smiled. "Okay, something I haven't told anyone?... Okay, I haven't had sex in seven months."
Sara smiled. "That was a little too much info Cath, I don't think we needed to know that."
Grissom looked as if he'd swallowed his tongue.
Warrick sat there and laughed while Greg and Nick were oblivious, sitting on the other side looking at a car magazine.
"Well it's true." She said, eyeing Warrick.
Grissom watched as Warrick smiled mischievously at Catherine, and heard himself groan before he could catch himself.
"What was that about?" Catherine said, suddenly looking at him, as was Warrick and Sara.
"Um, I don't know, uh...just forget it."
Catherine smiled. "Okay fine, Gris you tell us how long it's been since you've had sex?"
Sara turned bright pink, and looked away as she smiled while Warrick sat there with a dumb look on his face, cringing hoping that Grissom didn't say when the last time was.
"Catherine I don't think that's a very appropriate question."
"And why not? We're adults, sex shouldn't' be big deal to talk about anymore."
She suddenly looked at Sara who was trying desperately to keep a smile off her face.
"How about you Sara?"
Sara blanched. "Uh, I don't think I want to answer that Catherine."
Catherine smiled, watching Grissom stare at Sara.
"Come on Sara, don't tell me you're afraid to talk about sex too."
Sara smirked. "I'm not afraid to talk about sex, it's just that I don't think anyone much cares to when the last time it was I had sexual relations."
Catherine smirked, "Well it looks as if one person does."
Sara looked to her left to see Grissom suddenly turn his head the other way.
She smiled mischievously, ~Why not make him a little jealous and see how it goes? ~
"We're waiting Sara?" Catherine said, noticing the obvious way Sara was now smiling.
~Torture him a little, you know you want to! ~ Catherine thought watching Sara stare intently at Grissom.
"Um, I guess you could say, eleven years."
Catherine smiled as she saw Grissom suddenly start breathing again, and waited for him to turn to look at the group again.
Sara smiled. ~Too bad it wasn't lately, I could just picture the look on his face if I'd said last month, but yeah right, there's only one person I love and that's him, he's the only one who will ever get close to me like that ever again, if he ever does. ~
Okay, I know your probably saying, "What the heck, she lost her edge!" I guess you could say that's true. I wanted to make this chapter good, it just seems as I said above, that this section of the story isn't doing for me. Next chapter I hope will be better because I think I'll start it at them only having an hour left on the plane, then they'll arrive. Anyways, sorry it sucked, and I pray I do better next time.
