Here you go, long over due Pt 2, Further revelations, problems and answers.

Slash, as you well know, and me and Karen own nothing but our imagination and half a pot of Nutella.

Sara pulled away after a few minutes, smiling ''Im glad you took up my offer.''

"Sara, I want to make love to you." she whispered.

Sara looked down, feeling nervous.
"I want you to experience it with somone who is not going ot hurt you."

Sara looked up ''What if you don't like it? Me..?''

"Sara Sidle, I love you. " Catherine knew the woman would not believe her and wouldn't blame her for not.

''You love me?'' Sara whispered

''Yes Sara i do. Why do you think i act like i do''

''Why..'' Sara whispered looking at the floor
"Sara do you remember that night we had the case about the mother that killed her daughter?" Catherine played with Sara's hair.
''The carnavial case?'' Sara asked not moving away from Catherine, yet not moving closer
"Do you know why when you asked me to go to lunch I said no?"
Sara shook her head no.
"Because I needed you, and I knew if I was with you in the condition I was in I would have.. I needed you."
''Why me?'' Sara asked, Love was something extremely new to Sara and it confused her. and Catherine addmiting to needing her, scared her a little
"Becaue you stand up to me, you don't back down. When I throw my hissy fits you put me in my place." she paused. "And you, exept for that one time, and you were angry; throw my past in my face. Your not so Catheirne you were a strippper, can you give me a lap dance.. Hey how much coke did you do in a day?"
''I Dont care about your past..I dont like mine, so why should a poke and prod at everyone elses...'' Sara looked up ''Cath..I..'' Sara paused, gathering her thoughts ''I love how i'm the only one who can call you Cat and get away with it..And I Love how well we work together at work..But..I..I...''
"You don't love me." Catherine turned away tears in her eyes.
''I..I Don't know what Love is..'' Sara whispered ''Cath..Please dont push me away..I Like you, I Trust you..I..I..Just, I dont know what Love is...Ive never felt it before..And i don't want to move to fast..Asking if you could make love to me, was one of the most kindest, sweetest..Romantic, things ive ever heard..But i just dont know if im ready for that kind of commitment..''
"Ok." Cath stood up, feeling the rejection hitting her like a bolt of lightthing
''Catherine..'' Sara was now even more confused, had she just pushed Catherine away? Why was Catherine moving way from her?
"I think I need some water." she said making her way back to the kitchen, feeling like a turtle without its shell.
''Catherine please..'' Sara was almost begging
"Sara I'm confused." she grabbed the water from the fridge, "One minute your all over me and the next.."
''Im scared. ok? Im scared that after youve slept with me, you wont want me anymore. That you'll get bored of me. Ive never loved anyone Cath, I've never had sex, I've never even touched myself, i have no clue what to do, or how fast i should move, or how this whole relationship thing is supposed to work, so excuse me if all you want is a fuck, and all i need is reasurrence, im scared ok..im scared..'' Sara was somewhere between angry and shouting, and Upset and crying.
"I don't want to fuck you Sara, and I find it hard to believe a woman of 34 has never even touched herself."

''Harder to belive then a 34 year old virgin?'' Sara snapped ''What do you want from me?'' She shouted.
"I want you to love me, as I love you." Catheirne sat at the table, not openening her drink. "Sara I'm tired of games, I'm 43 years old and alone. I have my daughter who hates me.. I have a job that rules me.."
''Your daughter doesn't hate you, she doesn't understand you, your job doesn't rule you, you let it consume you, and you cant just snap your fingers and expect me to fall head over hells in love Catherine''
"No I can't." she opened the bottle an drank it.

''So is this it? I let you kiss me, I tell you my biggest secret, and then you just ignore me?'' Sara whispered angrily, feeling hurt, feeling used
"Sara, right now I just feel very open.. I don''t know where you stand. DO you even want to try?"

''Yes, Cath i want to try, im just scared, ok. You love me, and ive never felt that before, ive never been told that before..You want to take something from me, something i can never get back..Catherine, i do want to try, i do, and when im ready..''
Catherine was just as scared as Sara was, yeah she had been with women before, she had been with me, but none she cared for as much as the brunette she worked with. Why couldn't Sara see that this was her way of dealing with fear, always had been. When Cath got scared, she found the nearest bed to climb in and get laid. She was terrified, christ her hands were now shaking.
Sara stood walking over to Catherine, noticing her hands ''Cath..Cath? Whats wrong..'' Sara tryed to steady her hands ''Cath?''
"I'm scared Sara. I know I have slept around but with you it's different.. I feel something I never felt before.. I don't want to rush you, but I don't want to lose you either." he voice was but a whisper.
''Why would you loose me?'' Sara asked
"All I know, the only way I know to show love and affection is with my body.."
Sara smiled ''We can learn together, how to love without our body, and you can show me how to use it..'' Sara paused again ''Cath..Will you be my girlfriend?'' Sara looked at the floor ''Dates, Letters, Kisses..The whole nine yards..''
"Wow, I never got letters."
''I thought that was a big part in courting..'' Sara shrugged ''Guess im stuck in the 80's..''
"Guess so.. No I just pick loosers most of the time. Ones that like to use me as a punching bag."
Sara looked up.
"Leave me black and blue.. broken bones."
''Cath..''
"Yeah Sara.."
''I would never hit you..ever.''
"I guess I got so used to it with my old man that I just got used to it.''
''Did you report it?''
"No one beleived me, my parents made me out to be a liar.. I was a coked up stripper with the guys I chose.." she stopped. "I do recall that one time I did go to the hospital, they refused to do a kit on me at first.. Then the whole time they were doing it they talked about how people who do what I do were whores and tramps, and can you guess how many semen samples will pull from this one.. I got up in the middle of it.. Funny thing is I ended up staying cause when I tore that thing from between my legs wow now that hurt..."
Sara closed her eyes
"I just want to be loved, but I guess my old man was right when he said no one would ever.."
''Shh, Thats not true, you have a lot of people who love you Catherine, You annoy me, no doubt, but your my friend, and i love you like one, and if you let me be your girlfriend, i will fall in love with you even more.''
"Sara can you do something for me."
''What..''
"Just lay with me, hold me.. I lost armor and I really feel open right now, and I need someone to cover me, and I want it to be you." she looked ot Sara. "I don't want sex, I want protection."
''Well...'' Sara pretented to think ''You did let me eat your Nutella..Do you have a spare toothbrush?''
"I think so, I always keep a couple on hand, you now need to change one every month.. "
''Id love to sleep over..''
"Thank you." Cath brushed her hair behind her ear. "I just wish I could learn that I am worth more then what's between my legs."
''Well, the last time i checked i use my head and logic when working a scene, and your one of the best CSI's i know, so id say your head's worth lot'' Sara smirked
"Sara you really are a sweetheart." she stood. " really need to lay down."
''Sounds like a plan, where's your bathroom?''
"It's down the hall, let me show you."
''Thankyou.''
