He kissed me.
"What… How? I…" I stuttered. Great; The one time he's the slightest bit romantic and I can't even form a simple sentence.
He laughed.
"Sorry, I just figured that would shut you up. And it worked."
What a gentleman.
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He had kissed me.
"That's okay. Um, that was really nice," I grinned.
Oh God; I could feel my cheeks turning beet red. Blushing. I don't think I've ever blushed around Griss before.
He turned back to the screen and I thought that was the end of our conversation.
"Thanks. We should be there soon," He finished.
"Okay great. Where exactly is 'there'? And how soon?" I was really getting sick of this plane. Sitting still for hours and hours at a time really wasn't my thing.
He turned back to me and kissed me once again, only this time, more passionately.
Whoa.
I had never pegged Griss to be a good kisser; Well, let's just say I'm glad I never bet any money on his kissing techniques.
After what seemed like hours we finally parted. Grissom had a huge smile on his face and I honestly expected that I was drooling.
I reached up and felt my lips and chin; Nope, no drool.
I wanted to say something, but what? What the hell do you say when your boss kisses you and leaves you breathless?
"Wow," I giggled.
Grissom leaned back in his seat and smiled, clearly proud of himself.
I laughed.
So not only was I breathless, but I seemed to have lost all controls over what I did.
Without thinking, I took his hand in mind.
Once again a smile spread on my face; This felt right, the two of us kissing and I seemed to have lost all my IQ.
"Folks, we'll be landing soon. Please stay in your seats and keep your seatbelts on…" The captain droned.
Grissom smiled once again.
"I think you're going to like the surprise I have," He whispered into my ear. "I can't wait to see the look on your face."
I just smiled and closed my eyes, resting my head on his warm shoulder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the airport, I expected a big crowd. But there were very few people. A couple with a few kids, some older couples. I had never seen an airport this empty.
"Grissom, where are we?" I asked with a hint of panic in my voice.
Why was I panicking? I had nothing to worry about as long as I was with Griss. Right?
He stopped dead in his tracks. Being the gentleman he is, he offered to carry our bags. My two duffle bags and his two wheeled suitcases.
"Sara, like I said on the plane, I have a surprise for you," He smiled, turning to me.
I nodded; He's kept me out of his little loop for almost six hours and now that he planned on telling me, he was still going far too slow.
"I rented us a cabin for the week," He beamed.
I slowly opened and closed my mouth like a fish out of water; I had no idea what to say.
"A… a cabin," I stuttered.
A cabin? He treats me like dirt for five years, then drags me off to God knows where and rents a cabin for us. What the hell?
"It'll be fun," He continued beaming.
I really didn't know what I thought; Half of me wanted to punch him for taking me somewhere and the other half wanted to kiss him.
Grissom grabbed my hand and pulled me through the deserted airport.
I could hear him talking, but his voice sounded distant.
A cabin.
After being pulled along for a while, he let go of my hand and walked through an automated door.
I followed and a cold breeze hit my face.
Then I had to blink a few times to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
Snow.
White, fluffy snow everywhere.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I hadn't seen snow in over ten years. I've always loved snow. Sometimes I get online and look at pictures of snow because obviously it doesn't snow in Vegas.
I looked over to where I had seem Grissom go; He was walking towards a taxi that seemed to be waiting for us.
I stood perfectly still, letting the falling snow fall into my brown hair.
Everything looked perfect.
I hadn't been to New York in over ten years; It was still as beautiful as I had remembered.
"Sara!" He called, standing next to the cab.
"Coming!" I replied and started walking towards him. A smile spread on my face as the freshly fallen snow crunched underneath my Nikes.
Maybe this trip wouldn't turn out so bad after all.
