Worth The Wait 5/5
"What about Sofia?" he asked.
"Don't even give me that Grissom! You know exactly what I'm talking about," she said eying him.
"Nothing happened between us Sara. Nothing."
"She wants something to though."
"No, she doesn't Sara."
Sara scoffed rolling her eyes.
"What?" he asked
"Please Grissom. You probably made her year when you took her to dinner. At the risk of sounding like a five year old here, if you love me so much then why did you ask her to dinner?"
"I asked her because she was thinking about quitting. She is a great criminalist and I didn't think that the department deserved to lose her. She was just upset about essentially being demoted. There is nothing but friendship between us Sara."
"From your end I believe what you are saying, but she has got more than friendly feelings towards you."
"Nothing can be further from the truth, Sara."
"Grissom can't you see it. She hangs on your every word. She is always around you."
"Sara, trust me. She doesn't have any sort of romantic feeling towards me."
"Grissom, you don't realize how incredibly attractive you are. Combined with your intelligence, you make one amazing man."
He leaned forward and kissed her again.
"Thank you Sara, but I'm telling you, Sofia has no interest in me," he said kissing her again.
"How do you know?" she asked not letting the issue drop.
"Because ... she is in love with you."
"WHAT!" she said eyes becoming wide.
"She is in love with you," he repeated.
"Are you serious ... me?"
"Why is that so hard for you to believe? A lot of people think that way about you. Greg, Bobby, and of course yours truly," he smiled
She leaned forward capturing his lips in hers
"I just never thought Sofia was gay."
"She kept asking me about you when we had dinner. That's when I gave in and told her about us. Our history and eventually my feelings for you. Then she told me I need to find some way of making you happy or she would step in and try. At that point I was almost sure, so, I kinda looked at her and asked the silent question, and she just smiled and gave me a nod. That's when she told me that she had feelings for you as well."
"Wow" she said dumbstruck.
"Tell me about it," Grissom laughed " Since then, I don't know, we just got kinda comfortable around each other. I'm one of the four people at the lab that know, so Sara if you don't mind,"
"Oh God Grissom! I'm not gonna say anything!"
"I didn't think that you would. What I was going to say was, if she doesn't know about us by now, her being friends with Ecklie and all, then I kinda want to be the one who tells her."
"What about us?" she playfully smiled at him.
He leaned forward and their lips collided together. This kiss was more passionate than the simple ones before. He ran his hand to her neck, while his tongue traced her lips asking for entrance. She parted her lips and allowed his tongue to meet hers.
As the kiss grew more urgent, he pulled Sara down on top of him. His hands traced her back, while hers moved between his neck and his hair. When the need for air became a problem, they pulled apart, Sara resting her head on his shoulder.
"So, I take it you want to become an us?" she smiled tracing circles in his chest.
"Always have. Just been to stupid to do something about it," he kissed her again, "Way to stupid," he whispered his breath hitting her face.
"I guess I'm gonna have to buy one of those 'I'm with Stupid' shirts then hun?" she said yawning.
"Very cute," he said kissing her nose.
She yawned again.
"I'm sorry Grissom I'm just so tired." she whispered.
"Here, I should go." he said beginning to get up.
"You don't have to. Please ... stay?"
Grissom smiled and pulled a blanket down over them.
"Forever Sara. I'll stay forever."
Sara began to drift off, curious of what her dreams would be now since evey dream she has ever had before, had just come true.
One Week Later
After everyone had enjoyed their two days off they came back to the lab refreshed and, well happy. They also came back to find that days had actually done a pretty good job with moving the case along. So, with everyone working together, by the end of the week it was solved.
By this time, everyone at the lab knew about Warrick and Catherine's new status as well as Grissom and Sara's . But for two very different reasons. Catherine and Warrick have been seen making out in almost every corner of the lab. With Grissom and Sara, whenever someone asked either of them about their new status, they both just politely confirmed rumors and moved on.
It was about twenty minutes before shift and Grissom and Sara walked hand and hand into the locker room, locked into their own conversation
"You didn't have to yell at the poor kid Griss. It wasn't his fault."
"You specifically said no meat and what does he bring you? Chicken Fried Rice!"
"It was a simple mistake honey. You probably scared the pimples off his face!"
"Well, he needs to learn to listen to his customers."
Sara just rolled her eyes. They were to involved in their conversation to notice Sofia was sitting on the edge of a bench.
"Are you guys talking about the Golden Dragon Restaurant. Scrawny kid, about 5'8 blonde Greg-ish hair, horrible acne?" she asked
"Yeah! That's the kid?" Grissom exclaimed.
"That kid never gets my order right" she said.
"See!" he said with a triumphant smile on his face, "I'll see you in a few," he said kissing her cheek before he left the room
"Do you have to encourage him?" Sara smiled breaking the ice
"Sorry" she said getting up to leave.
"Hey Sofia!" Sara called after her.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering sometime if you, I don't know, wanna get a beer or something?"
Sofia just eyed her a little suspiciously.
"Look, I know I haven't been the nicest person to you, I just, " Sara started.
"Thought I was trying to steal you man?" she smirked crossing her arms over her chest
"Yeah, something like that." Sara smiled.
"I can't say your completely to blame for our 'bad attitudes' towards each other ... to put it nicely. Look I'm sure Grissom told you about me and well,"
"He did. I hope your not mad. I kinda pushed him into it though. Since you were always around him and all, I just thought that you had a thing for him. It's dumb and high school-ish I know."
"Man, I would have loved to have seen your face when he told you I had been after you and not him" she said bringing both of them to laughter.
"So, what do you say? Can we be friends?" Sara asked.
"I'd like that" Sofia smiled.
"Good," she said walking with Sofia to the door, "Besides, if it doesn't work out with Grissom I just might have to give you a call." Sara said nudging her in the side
"Oh, get over yourself woman! I am no one's second choice! Besides, I don't have near the amount of patience you have. 5 years! I really don't think your worth that long of a wait. For your sake and sexual sanity, I really hope Grissom is."
"Me too." Sara replied
Both women laughed and walked out of the locker room for another night of crime on the streets of Las Vegas.
The End- What did ya think?
