Chapter III: Let Me Go
Sofia's Apartment – A week later
Someone was knocking at her door… again… again… and kept knocking. She knew who it was and she knew that the person knocking at her door wasn't going to leave until she talked to her. Until she see her now. To be honest she wasn't in the mood for talking and less with the person at her door. Even worse she wasn't presentable for someone to see her. She hadn't gotten out of bed in three days. The only times she got out was to go to the bathroom… only because her bladder told her too, and the others to get something to eat, which was cereal… and she only had two times in those three days.
"Go away" Sofia was getting irritated by the constants knockings at her apartment door, so she answered, more like yelled.
"Sofia open that door" She had come to Sofia's door, a day after their little previous 'conversation' at the Lab parking lot with no use. Because Sofia had not opened the door for her, not even once but today it was going to be different. If she needed to bring down the door to talk to Sofia she was going to do it. Yes she was.
"No" she yelled again from her bedroom. Why couldn't she just go away like everybody else… like Greg did. She was better off alone.
"You are aware that I have a spare key to your apartment that I can use" if she had come this far away again, she was certainly not going to leave without an answer.
She couldn't do it… Or could she? "You wouldn't dare" she said but looked around her room for her phone. 'Aha!' her mind screamed in victory. 'Lets see if she isn't going to leave know'.
"Try me… You know I can be stubborn as hell" yes she was, stubborn until the end… even in her next lifetime she was going to continue been one.
"If you don't leave, I'm going to call the cops… and tell them my crazy psycho ex-girlfriend, is drunk, extremely violent, and trying to get in my apartment…" she thought she had her there, she did not thought of her friend reckless own respect of law.
"Go ahead, isn't going to be the first time that I got arrested for been the psycho ex-girlfriend… another one for my record… that doesn't scare me… but you are…" she really mean it, Sofia had been… Sofia had just not been her old self… Crap she hasn't seen her to say how she is… but she was certain it wasn't fine.
"You're just crazy… do you ever give up Sara?" Sofia laughed, despite her gloomy mood. Sara was just an outlaw among the law. She was the rebel in the law enforcement, she didn't take crap from others… she did what her heart told her to, before even her mind could process it… and she hated hypocrisy.
"Nope, if I had done that, I couldn't be were I'm standing right now… and that's your door… so open up" she knew today it looked like they were finally going to have their talk. They both needed a friend right now.
"I hate you" she was suffering and having a hard time coping with what had happened to her maybe she just needed to let it all out.
"Feeling is mutual" Sara was having a hard time too.
"Let me get change… probably a shower… so if you really want to talk… you'll have to wait… outside" that was Sofia's last intent to make Sara leave, but she knew Sara was going to be there anyways.
"Don't worry, what is to wait like… another hour to talk to you… I have waited days to do so…" she just slid down and seated putting her back in Sofia's door and waited for her to open up.
Sara's life had been under a constant turmoil of events and test that had come up with some results she did not expect… at all. She could use the time to think about them.
Among those was…
The constant pressure that Grissom was making on her, to try to remember something Greg may have said or done, that had caused him to leave under unknown circumstances to everyone. He was driving her nuts, but she was one of the closest people Greg could have talked to. Archie was having hell too coming from Grissom; he wanted answers the young Lab tech didn't knew or had. They all miss the last person that had seen him, but also the last person they expected to have news. The only person that could provide the answers to their questions, Sofia Curtis.
Another was…
Catherine's occasional questioning about 'How to deal with an out of hand teenage daughter?' 'What could she know about that subject' she told Catherine last time, and Catherine told Sara that if she had been one, she could help her telling her what needed to be done. Sara just told her 'Cath, haven't you notice I'm still one…' Catherine just laughed and admitted 'You still a rebel… but you turn into an 'alright kind of way' rebel… That rebellious spirit that you have in the inside, is what makes you CSI III Sara Sidle… our Sara'. When Catherine finished Sara was on the verge of tears… Damn mood swings…
And the one that was going to change her whole world was…
The hormones… That was the other thing that occupied her mind for the last week… her been late… late-late… and poor Nick had suffered her mood swings without even knowing what was happening… She needed to tell him but she needed to talk to Sofia first that was on top of her list to be done. And to what it seems she didn't have to wait much longer as she felt the locks open up.
"Is open… make yourself at home…" Sophia yelled once more… that shower had felt good, it had helper a lot.
"Thanks honey bunny… I knew it was a matter of time for you to forgive me… You must miss my rumbling lips…" Sara said higher enough for the neighbors to hear. She knew the neighbors always thought they were a couple, and Sofia hated it… and she loved it.
Flashback – Sin's The Club - Four Months before
She kept sending text messages to Sara about how ungrateful she felt. Sara just cracked up every time she read one, but couldn't you laugh at messages like these…
'I want to puke'
'Help me :-('
'I'm in the border of suicide…'
And the last one…
'In 5 more min, there's gonna b a C.S. in here'
That was when Sara activated 'Plan G' and called Greggo to see were he was at, and filled him in on what was happening as he made his way to the Club. As soon as he arrive he looked for Sara and the others, he found her at the bar ordering drinks and asker where was the 'damsel on distress'. She pointed to the table where the CSI's were, two tables down were the Lab technicians, and three tables from that one was Sophia and Ecklie.
She had to seat with him because was no space left in the other two tables occupied by the Lab member, so had no option but to seat with Ecklie. Then her 'Prince in Shining Armor' had come to her rescue. She saw Greg making his way to her table with a silly grin on his faces and behind him was Sara who winked at her and made her way to the table the others were at.
"Excuse me…May I have this dance" Greg ask politely to Sofia, who gladly accepted.
"You may… if you excuse me Ecklie… I have a dance floor waiting for me" With that they made their way and joined Nick who was dancing with no other but Sara, who was smirking. She had seen everything that had happened. Sofia nodded her head saying 'thank you' in her direction. She turned to Greg who had snaked one arm around her waist. Then duck his head to her ear level to whisper something, she hoped it wasn't something cheesy.
"I most thank Ecklie later…"
"For what?" Sophia had no clue of what he was talking about and his breath tickling her ear wasn't helping at all.
"For saving you for me tonight…"he said to like he meant it, which he did. "…have you notice how the men around here look at you..."he said playfully but it was a true fact.
"Yes, just like Ecklie… like they wanted to undress me with their eyes… like hungry beasts…" she was fully aware the impression she made on men.
"Can you blame them…I wouldn't mind giving you a bite…" he said in a sultry tone, to push his luck. He couldn't deny that Sofia was a woman that intrigued him. She had all the qualities he likes on a woman... She was mature, experienced, intelligent, beautiful, brave and stubborn…ohh and he loves it…
"So what do you think I'll taste like…" she was just playing with him. She just wanted to have fun tonight... Ecklie for sure had screwed her first hour and a half. What was left of it was to have fun and get wild.
Her question had taken him back. 'Had she asked what he thought she said' she was playing with fire if she did. But he didn't answered right away he stayed in silence until she talked again, a couple of songs later.
"What Greg did that came to strong for you… I thought you were a ladies man, that this was your area in expertise…"Sofia pushed him. She had never seen Greg pass an opportunity like this. Though this was not serious she was just playing games with his mind, when... "Ouch…! What was that for…" she yelp in surprise as soon as she felt him bite and lick on her neck.
"I said something… exotic… something like… passion fruit… like my favorite drink 'Passoa'… probably a little bit of mango on the side…"he was enjoying every moment of it… and by the look her eyes reflected, she was too.
"I'm impressed… you're right... I love the smell of the fruits, especially the exotic ones…" she never did expect him to take action, but it felt good. Maybe that's why she did not complaining at all. Tonight had been exceptional, and neither of them had the slightest idea of what was about to come of it.
Sin's The Club – The CSI table
"Did he just… bite her…?" Grissom… Yes believe it, even Grissom was there. Grissom could not believe what he had seen.
"Oh that's gonna cost him, Sofia is going to kill him…" Catherine had seen it too and she was ready to make a bet with the guys to see how guess what Sofia was going to do, to Greg.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Sara yelled in surprise when she saw what her 'Greggo' had done. Nick was smirking behind her, both of them had come from the bar with drinks for Catherine, Warrick and his wife Tina, a bottle of water for Grissom and their owns. "What just happened there…?" if she had been a little tipsy, it all had gone away when she saw the display on the dance floor, she was now fully aware of her surroundings.
"Sara are you drunk…?" asked Grissom worried. He knew her, and she had limits.
"Drunk my ass… what's was that…" she said while moving her hand forgetting she still had the drinks on her hands. Almost spilling them… okay only a little tiny bit hit the floor… But by then Nick had distribute all the drinks he had bring and was taking the ones Sara had on hers.
"Okay no more 'Sex on the beach' and 'Orgasm' for you…Sar" she just stuck her tongue out.
"Then you need to find me a good man… because until I have one, that all I'm having… lots of sex on the beach and orgasm…" Sara winked at Nick. She loved to push his buttons and he like it too.
"Amen to that" Catherine was drinking the same as Sara. "You know what, we need an 'Orgy' to cheers to that…" Grissom eyes when wide when Catherine said this, she saw him.
"Chill Gil… is a drink" everyone laugh at his reaction 'He can be so slow at times' Catherine thought.
"Come on Catherine you too…"Nick was playing with them, though Catherine had the same amount of drinks as Sara. Neither of them was going down.
"Hey guys!" know one had notice that Greg and Sophia had made their way back to the table. Warrick didn't wait to make a comment.
"We saw a little action going on, on the dance floor" he wanted to get the element of surprise so neither of them had an alibi.
"Oh that…" Sofia said eyeing Greg. "…I got to admit I was taken back but it work…" the others look lost.
"I did it to push Ecklie's buttons… and it paid off…" Greg said following Sofia's game.
"…He went out storming…" she smiled.
"Sara almost had an attack when she saw it…" Nick was going to make Sara blush, no matter what it cost.
"Of course I did I never think you 'Fia' could fall for the lame and cheesy things Greggo here, says…"She defended herself, but it was true.
"Aw Sara, don't lie… you were jeal…" but he never finished…the others notice this but didn't say anything. Then Sofia phone went off and the I.D. read… 'MIA'. She took the call.
"Sara… Cath… girl meeting… Tina, want to join us…?" Warrick look scared, didn't want his wife around the girls, don't get him wrong they were great but they could teach Tina some things he prefers they don't.
"Don't worry… we'll not do anything to her…" Catherine smirk at Sara's comment, Warrick just smiled nervously. Then Nick who had been extremely quite let go of a long breath he didn't know he had taken… he was almost in the verge of tears… the girls remain all to see what was wrong, they thought he had remember something about his past ordeal.
"Nick was wrong…" Greg noticed his friend painful look. He just mumbles something… Greg barely heard… and started laughing like crazy.
Grissom had remain quite for a long time he just loved to see the interaction between his team again…it made him feel like an accomplished family man.
"What happened?" Warrick asked. "Why are you almost crying Nick, and you Greg why are you crying and laughing like crazy… what did he said" he wanted to know as well as the others.
"Sara… oh man… Sara was… grabbing…no… squeezing his… his... package…"Greg said in between laughs. Everyone look alarmed at Sara maybe she had taken a more than she needed of alcohol.
"What do you have to say Sara…"Grissom asked.
"Umm… that is true what they say about Texas… everything is sure big down there…" she said while she pointed down. All of them started laughing at Sara's comment those two all ways were trying to make each other blush, and flirted like crazy. Everyone wonder when all that flirting was going to pay off.
"Sar…!" Nick whined, he was blushing, she had turn the table around… he was the one suppose to make he blush tonight. But at least she like what she touched.
"That will teach you not to mess with me…" she said and smirked. Sara and the girls made their way to the bathroom.
Two hours later only Sara, Nick, Greg and Sophia remained at the Club, the last Lab member had leave almost forty-five minutes ago.
"Well guys I'll be leaving…" he looked at Sara and added she was in no condition to drive. "…well be leaving now, little Missy here needs a really good cold shower and a cup of coffee if she wants to work tomorrow…"he grabbed Sara by the arm and pulled her up.
"Then while be going too…"
"Hey, who's going to take me home…Ecklie gave me the lift here…" Sofia asked. Nick and Greg look at each other and…
"I'll do it, your apartment is on my way home…"Greg offered himself to do it.
"Okay but you'll have to pick me up tomorrow morning to get my car. I left it at the Lab and tomorrow is my day off and I have some things to do" She was tired plus she had drink to much and she didn't want to drive.
"Done… your wish is my command… tutty fruity!" That earned him a punch in the arm. A punch was nothing compare to what the night had for them.
End of Flashback
"WHAT! You and Greg…" Sara didn't see that one coming.
"I shouldn't have told you…" Sofia was regretting that she had told Sara.
"No… I don't mean it like that, is that…WOW! You took me be surprise…" she still could not believe it, but she needed to return the trust Sofia had deposited on her… "I'm pregnant!" 'Way to go Sara, the best way you could have said it.
"Pfft… WHAT!" Sofia spit all the water she had on her mouth. "…and you say that what I said was unexpected… Geez… there was no way I could have come with something like that… your kidding right? Right Sara?" her friend did not deny it.
"Nope…" Sara confirmed it.
"Who's… the father… if a may know…" who could it be Warrick… Sara wasn't that crazy he was married… Grissom don't make me laugh… Greg… no way… then it was…
"Nick" both said at the same time. The difference was that Sara had said it in a informative kind of way, while Sofia had said it in acknowledgment by the realization.
To Be Continue
A.N. – Hello to all of ya! I personally don't feel satisfy with this chapter, but at least it help me to move and continue with the story. I didn't explain what happened in Sofia's apartment because that is going to appear in a future chapter, which is going to be mainly about Greg, where he is, what he's doing and who is he cope ling. I have no idea when is going to be due, I have another story 'Where Are You Under, I Wonder' going, I'm also finishing a one-shot, and I'm waiting on my results to see if I need to visit the surgeon table or not. But I hope everything turns out fine and I can continue with my almost normal life… I think I'm the only 20 years old college girl that takes the same pill her 70 years old Grandma does… I'm on Zantacs and a diet with no tomatoes, pineapple, flour and no fats because of my stomach, digestive problem… every 20 years old life!
Well I'll be updating soon (knocks on wood) and thanks to all of my devoted reviewers and the new ones that keep me writing.
Bye,
B.D. (BiDi)
