A/N: Really trying to update frequently but as you guessed it, TIME has been a big factor along with SCHOOL, its not easy. And at some point I do like to SLEEP. I have no idea why I'm making some words BIG and others not, its fun. It may seem like that no one is grieving, its just I have to get some things out of the way first before the heavy duty emotions set in. I know this is going to sound very un-Sara like but i was pissed off when i wrote this so its more along the lines of someone being very annoyed and pissed off.
"What do you mean you wont give me it off?" Sara exclaimed the same morning in Grissom's office. She had booked it so they left in the late afternoon, giving them plenty of time to pack and still catch a few hours sleep if they wanted too.
"Exactly that, Greg just booked it off, a family emergency" he shuffled the paperwork, telling her he was done and that was final, she would have to stay. No she was not.
"I know that's why I need it off" she tried again, not wanting to tell him about her and Greg but if it came to that so be it.
"I'm not following" of course you wouldn't follow, too dense to understand she thought about saying those words out loud but thought against it she needed the time off.
"I just really need the time off; it's personal" she hoped he would get it this time but knowing him he wouldn't. For a smart guy he sure was stupid.
"I'm sorry Sara I can't be out two CSI's at one time"
"Well you're going to have to" she stood, she was ready to quit if he didn't give her the days off.
"I do my work, never mess up, I never dilly dag around, and I never take time off, so now that I'm asking to take time off you're not giving it to me?"
"It's not like that"
"Then how is it?" she crossed her arms, this was going nowhere fast.
"The team needs you, Las Vegas needs you…I need you" it may have worked before but not now.
"It bothers you doesn't it"
"What bothers me?"
"That I actually found somebody to spend my time with, and I'm no longer waiting for you"
"This has nothing to do with it" last straw bud
"Are you mad at me cause I found someone to fuck and its not you!" so that came out a little louder than she had intended, and it really wasn't the truth but wasn't a lie either, just stretching the truth, it had been over a month since she fucked him. He remained silent, she'd hit a nerve.
"You know what suspend me, fire me, I really don't care, Greg needs me and I'm going" she walked out leaving a very surprised Grissom in her wake.
"Miss Sidle may I have a word with you" SHIT! Not exactly the person she wanted to see right now
"Of course Ecklie what about?" she asked as innocently as she could
"Professionalism ethnic at the workplace"
"Okay"
"Your little conversation with Grissom, that I overheard along with half the lab" please say he was exaggerating. Please, please, please.
"I got out of hand, I apologize and it will never happen again" a little butt kissing never hurt anyone
"No it shall not or you may find yourself out of a job"
"Is that a threat?"
"Consider it just a little insight"
"You know what Ecklie" BITE ME! Go on say it, say it "I'm really glad we had this talk" chicken! She moved on, going to see for herself if half the lab found out she was fucking Greg.
"I'm gonna take a shower" Greg told her as he unlocked his door and made his way in Sara following. She had made sure he gotten home okay and had some stuff to do before she left as well.
"Alright, I got something's I need to take care of so I'll be back within an hour maybe hour and a half"
"Okay" he took a big gulp of the water he'd gotten him self from the tap. He stood staring out the window in his kitchen, she did the only think she could think of. She walked up behind him and hugged him from behind. The smell was something that she had missed the most, he had his own special sent where his own musky smell mixed with the cologne he was wearing and it smelled…sexy.
"Do you want me to get you anything while I'm out?" she breathed in deep memorizing his smell.
"No I'm good"
"Well I'm off then" she was hinting she wanted a kiss but wouldn't come right out and say it. Her arms dropped and she turned to leave.
"Sara"
"Yes?"
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Umm pick up dry cleaning, picking up a few things and pack why?"
"And you were going to leave without a kiss?"
"Well I didn't want to but you weren't making any move to do so"
"I give you permission to smack me upside the head I don't clue in and give you a kiss"
"That's something I'm going to hold you to"
"Perfectly fine, now get over here and kiss me" he gave her a look that told her, he was really trying to be serious but it was hard for him, he was never serious.
"Greg where are you?" Sara shut the unlocked door, she didn't worry about it too much most guys think they could handle attackers but he was nowhere in sight and that's what worried her. She heard the faint runnings of water in distance. He still couldn't be in the shower could he, she left and he had gotten in she was sure of it cause he had dragged her to the bathroom too, to try and persuade her to take a shower with him but she won and had left.
She knocked on the door before entering, the shower was running but she couldn't see the silhouette of Greg's body.
"Greg are you" she pulled back the curtain. He was sitting on the bottom of the tub like he was having a bath but the water from the shower still hitting his skin.
The water was on as hot as it could go and still it was ice cold. She didnt have to ask, he'd been in there the whole time.
She grabbed a towel that was sitting near by and shut the water off.
"Greg baby come one stand up" he looked up at her like he didn't know who she was. Okay this was going to be harder than she thought. Calculating a few strategies of how to get him out and finally climbed into the tub with him.
"Your going to get sick if we don't get you warm" for being a normal sized guy he sure did weigh a lot. As if on cue his teeth started chattering.
"Please just say something" she walked around him towel drying him the best he could, in any normal circumstance she would find this extremely exotic but now wasn't the time to be thinking like that.
"Ssssooo Ccccolld" his teeth chattering faster and louder
"Let's get you into bed" she directed him to his bed tucking him in for the moment while she went to get more blankets. After piling on all the blankets she could find, his teeth were still chattering so she climbed into bed with him and snuggled up to him.
"Sara time to wake up beautiful" she was sleeping? She'd just laid down a few minutes ago. She opened her eyes and glanced at the clock sure enough two hours had passed. She could help but notice how she was touching bare skin, a lot of bare skin.
"Like what you're touching?"
"Love it" her fingers traced over his skin, his muscles jumping at her touch.
"Do you like what I'm doing?"
"Oh ya but no time" he threw all four blankets off him and got out of bed
"Are you all set to go?" she took his pillow and put it under her as she sat up on her elbow.
"Ya just waiting for you"
"I just gotta pack" which he began doing in his birthday suit
"Are you going to dress?"
"When I'm done, does it bother you?" he grinned like a little school boy
"Just a little bit" her eyes following him and he caught her meaning as snuggled back under the blanketsbehind her. Tracing a small strokes across her arm.
"Didn't you tell me we didn't have time?" she teased
"We're gonna make time"
"Anything I should know about your parents?"
"No their pretty cool, laid back"
"It'll be fine" he got out of the car and quickly went around to the passenger side, still basking in the afterglow of her letting him drive.
"You're forgetting I've seen Meet the Fockers" she reminded him
"I know we saw it together my parents are in between, they have their moments. Just don't ask to see any photos"
"Embarrassed?"
"No it's just Jaimie Lee is in most of them" and just like that the mood changed
"I'll wait" he rang the doorbell
"Ahh Greg do your parents condemn sleeping together before marriage?"
"No why?"
"Cause I'm pregnant"
