Does He Ever Get The Girl?

5. Hands Down Part 2

Greg and Sara sat in the locker room, concealed behind a row of lockers. They'd managed to get away from work for a few moments, and sit together, alone. A day had passed since their date. The first day of work, they'd tried to act as natural as possible throughout shift. But their colleagues had their suspicions. It was inevitable. They all weren't highly rated investigators for nothing. But their constant questioning had begun to annoy both of them, and they avoided giving any answers. That night they'd decided to slowly reveal the relationship that was forming between them. But neither of them wanted to keep it to themselves. They wanted to stay like this...just the two of them, and no one else. Sara leant back in his arms. She felt safe with him. Safe from everything, especially her colleagues and their nagging questions.

"Do you wanna go out for dinner?" Greg asked as he looked down at her, his voice hushed to minimize the chances of being discovered.

"I was thinking more along the lines of a quiet night in..." She trailed off as a mischievous smile crept onto her face. Greg smiled and nodded in agreement. He couldn't think of a better way to spend his night than alone with Ms Sara Sidle.

The words are hushed lets not get busted;
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
So we can get some.

Grissom walked into the breakroom with a huff. He wasn't in the greatest of moods. Ecklie had been on his back, he had a mountain on paper work to complete which he was dreading, and to top that off Sara and Greg were nowhere to be found, and right in the middle of three active cases.

"Have either of you seen Sara or Greg?" He asked as he looked between Warrick and Catherine.

"They're both missing? I see..." Catherine said with a smirk upon her face as she realized exactly where they were. And poor Grissom had no idea.

"Strange coincidence, the two of them disappearing at the same time..nowhere to be found." Warrick mimicked Catherine's smirk. They all knew that something was going on between Sara and Greg, even if neither of them would admit it. All of them knew, that was, not including Grissom. He frowned as he turned and left the break room. Neither of them were going to be of any help to him.

"So they're getting their thing on during shift...can't say I've ever done that before." He said as he glanced across at Catherine, who shook her head in response.

Nick entered the room, intent on finding his MIA partner on their blossoming case. "Have you guys seen Sara?" He asked, stopping short within the break room door as he felt as though he had just interrupted something.

"Find Greg, and you find Sara..." Catherine trailed off.

"Wait...you're saying that they're..." Nick began before being interrupted.

"Uh huh."

"Probably." Warrick added as Nick left the room, still intent on finding Sara. It wasn't fair that he was doing all the work, while she was probably off having a little fun, with Greg. He almost shuddered at the image that quickly shot through his mind. I never want to think about that ever again..With this image still fresh in his memory he decided to give up his search and resume work. He'd rather solve the case than find Sara and Greg doing God knows what in a utility closet somewhere. He tried to immerse himself in the case once more, but was interrupted by the sudden reappearance of his partner. She slipped quietly into the room and stood beside him, looking down at the evidence placed across the table before them.

"So Sar, how's Greg?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He couldn't help but ask, and he couldn't help but let out a chuckle when she stormed out of the room, leaving him alone once again to work on the case.

----------------------

Greg and Sara sat side by side on her couch, watching a movie that Greg had never even heard of before. He didn't even remember the title. It wasn't the movie he was interested in. He wondered how long the movie had to go. He glanced across at her, watching her as she focused her attention on the television screen. He no longer felt as though he needed to wait for her to make a move. But he still couldn't bring himself to, not while she seemedso interested with the movie. He liked how things had gone, and he felt confident knowing that her feelings were genuine.If she was pretending any of it, he couldn't tell. Greg was beginning to grow restless. He stole another glance across at her. This time she felt her eyes upon him and blushed lightly. She was still getting used to it all. Having Greg with her, being with him, having someone be that close to her. She turned her attention back to the television screen, and then back to Greg. She wasn't into the movie, she couldn't focus, and all she could think about was the man beside her.

With Sara's focus on him, he quickly convinced himself to take advantage of the moment. He leant forward, closing the space between them as he softly brushed his lips against hers. He began to draw back to his previous position inches away from her on the couch, but she didn't let him get far. She gently pulled him back into another soft kiss. The kiss deepened, and before long they soon found themselves gasping for air, forgetting to inhale much needed oxygen. They stared at each other for a moment, each trying to figure out what the other was thinking, feeling...and if they were ready to take things a little further. Before either of them could process any kind of well-formed thought they were in each others arms again, their limbs tangled together as they slowly made their way back to Sara's bedroom.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Thank y'all for reviewing. I say it all the time, but it means a lot knowing someone's enjoying this stuff. And Maddy I started reading your fic, I'm liking it so far! I don't have much time to finish it now with packing and all, but I'll finish when I get back! I've avoided updating this long enough. Sorry it took a while. I just really wasn't in the mood to write this, and I don't know why. Maybe it's my moods, maybe it's my GSR obsession returning with a vengeance...who knows. Coz of that I didn't write a very long chapter, but, it's better than nothing. Sorry for the weak ending, limited time on my computer. I would've continued on from the end, but, you guys can fill it in with your imaginations; ) Lyrics are by DC, Hands Down. I'm going on vacation, so I'll be MIA for possibly a month or two. Hoping I'll get back some of my creativity and some new ideas...If y'all would like me to continue, let me know! Anyhoo, y'all have fun while I'm gone, and have a drink for me, it's my birthday next week. If you haven't checked out Fiona Apple's new album, do it now...and another shameless plug, check out my most recent fic Ink lol. Peace / Britt
