A/N: Really short chapter, sorry. But it is a nice brief bit of happiness. All is right in the world…for now.
Chapter 20- As Long as You're Mine
"Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreams
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me
And just for this
moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all
resistance
And crossed some
borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last
moment last
As long as you're mine
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me
seeing
Though different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's up that I fell
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost
time
Say there's no future
For us as a pair
And though I know I may
know
I don't care
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we
shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here
holding you
As long as you're mine"
As Long As You're Mine from Wicked
Greg could hardly believe what was going on in his world. At the moment, he and Sara lay together on his bed. She was asleep, gently snoring, and he was just watching her sleep. He still couldn't believe that this beautiful woman who he had loved so long was his fiancée, that she was going to marry him. He loved her for it. He loved her for everything. He loved everything about her, and could only hope that she felt the same. With a smile, he laid his head on the pillow and went to sleep, still holding her in his arms.
When Sara awoke, it took her a moment to remember where she was. She could feel Greg's arms around her and she relaxed into them. Somehow, he felt so right. This felt so right. If you had told her a month ago that she would be engaged to Greg Sanders, she probably would have laughed. But somehow, it just felt perfect, like the pieces of her life were falling into place, and they were all centered around him. She smiled and snuggled up against him. He was perfect. Still smiling, she went back to sleep.
The next day, Sara and Greg announced their engagement to the CSIs. Warrick was the first to respond. He groaned and pulled out his wallet, counting out twenty bucks and giving it to Nick, who was grinning. "God damn, you two," said Warrick, shaking his head. "Never thought it would be you. Good luck, though."
Catherine was next to respond. She pulled out her wallet as well, this time pulling out fifty dollars and handing it to Nick. She stood then and hugged first Sara and then Greg. "Congratulations! Oh, Sara, we'll have to go shopping for wedding dresses! Oh, and all the fixings for the reception! I can hardly wait!"
Sara and Greg, who had expected Cath, Nick and Warrick to have betted on something, were shocked when Grissom tossed Nick a ten. Sara asked, slightly angrily, "Just what did you guys bet on?"
Warrick sighed, shot Nick a dirty look and said, "Nick bet us that Greg would propose to you on your first date."
Now Greg looked confused. "But Nick knew I was going to propose. I showed him the ring."
Grissom, Warrick and Catherine all turned slowly to Nick, who froze. "Uh, guys, I can explain," he started, but then turned and ran as they advanced on him, determined looks in their eyes. He bolted out of the break room with all three in hot pursuit.
Sara and Greg looked at each other and shrugged. They had work to do.
A/N: Is it a bad thing when the song at the beginning of the chapter is longer than the chapter itself? But never fear, I'm fairly certain that every chapter after this one is longer.
