"Well... the doctor says about 2-3 weeks." Grissom looked at her sympathetically.
Sara looked down at her soft cast and her swollen fingers through her sunglasses, It looked alot worst than it seemed. She tried to move her fingers which sent a pain shooting through her arm.
"Are you okay?" Grissom asked noticing the look of pain on her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine" She lied.
"Did you know that besided work this is the most time we have spent together?" He smiled at her.
"You know what, you're right." She smiled back as they reached her house, Grissom got out and walled to her side of the car.
"I'm always right," He said opening her door. "Remember?" He helped her out of the car and walked her to her front door. When he opened the door they were confronted with the remains of what use to be her living room, everything placed carefully on her shelves and tables had been carelessly thrown on the floor. Grissom watched as Sara waded through the items on the floor to go get her stuff, as he got brave enought to step inside his glance caught something glass next to his shoe, he bent down to pick it up. 'Whats this?' he thought reaching down to pick it up, it was a picture frame containing two pictures, one was a seriouse picture of everyone with Cathrine was standing in between Nick and Warrick, While Grissom and Sara were sitting on stools in front of them. The next picture was a funny one with Nick and Warrick holding Cathrine by the shoulders and the ankles while Sara sat on Grissom's lap sideways both looking at each other intently. He smiled as he remembered the day Greg took these, as he finished looking at the picture Sara appeared with her backpack of clothes and essentials. She waded back through the mess and found Grissom with the picture. "Whacha lookin at?" "Just an old picture of us, do you mind if i take it along with us?" He looked at her and then back at the picture. "The glass needs to be repaired." He said smoothly.
"Sure its okay with me." She said as she ushered Grissom out the door. "Here let me take you bag." He grabbed her bag and put it in the back seat of the car. "Hungry?" He asked looking at the clock, it had only been about 2 hours but he didnt eat breakfast, come to think of it neither did Sara, she just stared at her plate in the hospital, throwing things away when Cathrine and the doctor werent looking.
"Okay, What do you want?" "Any place i can get a salad." He laughed as she nodded in agreement. Each time she laughed Grissom thought he was going to loose it, he wanted for so long to reach over and caress her when she cried, to hold her hand and make everything better, to make her laugh and brighten up her day, But he never could, till now, he knew how she felt about him and he was almost sure she knew how he felt about her.
Lunch was quiet again they were each hungry they hadnt eaten in 2 days.
'So this is what all of Grissoms house looks like, i've only seen his living room... He is so sweet now, i just cant figure out why, can he really be that worried about me?' She thought as Grissom gave her the grand tour. His bug collections, his books, and of course all the rooms too. "So what do you think?" They both sat on the couch.
"I think it is very... You!" She thought that was great, she had always wanted to say that to someone.
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing"
"Depends for you, A good thing." She chuckled "I never told you but you are quite wonderful"
"You're not half bad yourself." Grissom was a little shocked, she wasnt even phased by what he just said, but he was. "You didnt even pause to think about what i said, why?"
"Because i was expecting you to say something sooner or later." Grissom moved in closer till their legs were touching, "Oh you were, huh?" He reached up and caressed her face, a sigh or releif passed over him, he pulled her face closer to his, every inch closer made his heart jump. Their lips met with passion and furry, when that died down they parted, both out of breath but smiling. "Bet you didnt expect that!" He smirked.
"Dont bet on it, What was that for anyways?"
"Thanking you"
"Thanking me"
"Yeah, for waiting so long for me to come around." He smiled but looked mad at something at the same time.
"Whats wrong?" She noticed a change in his composure, he seemed to be more down to earth now, more matter-of-fact.
"Its frustrating, Idontknow what to say to you, I never have, everything i say or do always seems to be wrong, but i dont want that to change if it means you're here"
"Grissom..." She was cut off by the ringing of Grissoms cell phone.
"Grissom." He answered, "Hey Cathrine what is it?" He looked at his watch shift had already stared and hour ago. "So you caught the guy?" Grissom seemed to be having a conversationwith himself, except for the occasional mummble of Cathrine's voice answering back throught the phone.
Sara descided that this would take a while so she walked to the kitchen to check out his food supply. 'Lets see,' She thought as she opened the fridge, 'Chicken, pork, an expriment of some kind(so he does do those at home too), eggs, and some salad. What has he got to drink, Milk, Water, Orange Juice, and i dont even want to know what that is' She thought looking at a bottle of Yellow liquid. "Okay good bye Cathrine." He walked into the kitchen as he hung up his cell phone. "Find anything good?" Gesturing towards the refridgerator.
"I dont know yet, hey what is that yellow stuff?" She pointed to the bottle in the door.
"This?" He picked it up. "Its just Kool-Aid, Why what did you think it was?" He placed it back in the door and shut it.
"Knowing you, i dont think i wanted to know." She walked back into the living room and sat down again.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Sara brushed off the question with asuspicious smile. "What did Cathrine want?"
"She just wanted to tell me that they have a suspect for your attack and the trashing"
"So they've got him in custody"
"No, he is MIA, he didnt show up at his work today or yesterday and his neighbors say that he hasnt come home in two days." "Oh well." She shrugged. "You know Grissom you dont have to stay here with me all the time you can go back to work"
"Yeah, i know, i had a few sick days so im taking them, and dont worry we will get the guy Sara. But in the mean time what do you want to do"
'What kind of question is that, especially after he kissed me?' "Umm i dont care, wanna watch a movie"
"Sure, I have umm well i have Forensic Science, Cold Case Files, and Season 3 of Crossing Jordan. Your pick"
"Forensics!" They popped in the movie and sat on the couch, he rapped his arm around her and held her close as if to hold the moment forever in his arms.
