They got dressed and headed off to work. The ride was silent. They drove Sara's car and left his mustang in the lot at Sara's building. "So, Blue Eyes, do I get a solo tonight?"

"Do you want a solo tonight, or not?" He asked simply.

"Depends on the case actually...You always pick and pair us right. No reason to stop now just cause we've been playing in bed all day."

"Alright sweetie, whatever you want. " He reached over, and squeezed her hand.

They pulled into the CSI lot. Everyone appeared to be there already. "Great! Now they are going to tease us."

"Let them, I've got your love with me, nothing is going to bring me down off cloud number nine." He smiled.

They held hands until they reached the door. It was time to put on their professional faces and be boss and subordinate for the night. As hard as that was going to be for Sara, she had too. Work was different. It had been her life until he finally admitted to her and himself that he loved her. She had a duty to the victims to be the best and that was all she was giving. "See you at my place after shift?"

"After shift." He smiled, quickly kissed her, and opened the door for her.

"Thank you, Grissom." She said as she walked inside. "I'll be in the break room in five minutes, got to get my gear out of my locker." She strode off down the hall leaving him to go to his office.

He watched her walk away. "See you in five." He walked toward his office.

The break room immediately fell silent as she sauntered in. "What?" She asked innocently. "Do I have something on my face?"

Warrick laughed. Nick nearly fell out of his chair. Greg sat sulking in his chair. Catherine sat there smiling at her. "I get it...You all heard about my date." Sara said right as Grissom entered the room.

"Yeah Sar, how'd that go?" He smiled his Texas grin.

"Wonderful, but none of your business." Sara said as she poured herself some coffee.

"How'd what go? What's none of Nicky's Business?" Grissom was lost.

"Our date." Sara said simply. "It's no one's business."

"Oh, I agree. We are here to work, and not gossip, that comes after shift, not on CSI time. " Grissom stated.

"Down boy." Catherine said as she stood slowly to stretch. "What did we pull?" She looked closer at him. "Gil, are those hickeys on your neck?"

"Catherine, chat later. " He tried to hide his blush. " We have a B&E at the Tangiers, a hit a run, and are you all ready for this? We have a decomp at lake Mead."

"Okay, Grissom. Who gets what?" Warrick asked. He was glad the man was getting his head on his ass and making a move on Sara.

"Sara, you and Warrick get the B&E, be careful. Catherine, you take Greggo and head out to lake Mead, you get our decomp." He smiled. "Nick, you get the hit and run."

Sara smiled at Warrick. She knew he wouldn't ask to many questions. She smiled at Grissom before grabbing her kit and heading out the door. Soon as she was out of the break room she hit number 2 speed dial. It rang once before Grissom answered.

"I just wanted to tell you that I love you."

He smiled. "I love you too."

Catherine teased him, "You could've kissed her goodbye."

"With Ecklie, as Sara once put it, hanging around the corners waiting for one of us to screw up?" He smiled.

"What you doing tonight, Griss? No case?" Nick asked.

He sighed. "Paperwork, unless you would want to do the paperwork?" He teased. It had been a long time since the old Grissom was back at work, always teasing.

"I'm gone." Nick said and left.

Greg was still sulking in his chair. Grissom looked over at Greg, with an evil smile on his face, "Shouldn't you and Catherine head out to Lake Mead? Or do you want to help with paperwork?"

"No. Don't you hurt her, Grissom." Greg was worried for Sara. Even though he had known that Sara loved Grissom, he still flirted with her. He'd seen her sad because of his boss. "I would have to hurt you if you hurt her."

Grissom was shocked by Greg's blurted words. "I will never hurt her again, and I'll hold you to that." He smiled, and walked away towards his office.

A little smile played across Greg's face. Somehow he knew that was the truth.
