A/N: I officially have writer's block. Ok, enough of my problems. On to the story.
He turned to her. He stared deep into her eyes. She knew she had just told him what she had been denying for years. It wasn't Grissom who she needed; it was Greg. She needed him. She wanted him. She could think of nothing that would make her happier than just knowing he still cared. She wanted to know she hadn't missed her chance. She needed to know that she wasn't too late. He cleared his throat, breaking the silence.
"You aren't just saying this because you know it will keep me here, are you?" He asked informatively.
She looked at him. She wanted to act like it had offended her that he would ask such a thing, but she knew why he was asking.
"I'm saying it because I mean it." She replied sincere.
He grew white. It wasn't because of what she had said. He ran to the bathroom. She heard his retching. She shook her head and couldn't help but smile a smile of sympathy. She walked slowly down the hall. When she reached the bathroom, he was slipping out of his shirt. He wiped his mouth of with it and tossed it behind him. He had his hand on the wall for balance, as once again he leaned over the porcelain bowl. He emptied whatever was left out of his stomach. She noticed his muscled. "Damn." she thought to herself. She put a hand on his back.
"Where are your washcloths?" She spoke very softly.
He merely pointed, never looking up. She went over to the cabinet and retrieved a washcloth. She put it under the cool water and wrung it out. She walked over to him. She gently grabbed his face and began to wipe his face all over. She smiled at him.
"How we feeling?"
He attempted a glare but said nothing.
"You drank vodka on an empty stomach." She spoke again.
He just nodded.
"I know….it was stupid, but I didn't care." He replied.
"You're paying for it, now though." Sara said.
She grabbed his toothbrush and placed it in his hand. He looked at her puzzled.
"You didn't expect me to kiss you after you just puked, I hope." She said as she walked off.
"You're flirting could use some work." He called after her.
He brushed his teeth and then went to his couch. He laid down putting his head in her lap. He looked up at her with a huge grin. She looked down at him. She raked her fingers through his hair.
"You're just the man to teach me how to flirt better." She said smiling at him.
"So, this really is for real? You're not going to just jump up and forget that you said those things?" he asked concerned.
She smiled even bigger. She would never go back on what she had said. She didn't want too. She had no reason too. He wanted her. He would love her. He'd give her back what she gave him. She shook her head.
"I'd never do that." She said to him.
He smiled. She loved his smile as much as he loved hers.
"Sara?"
"What is it, Greg?"
"I love you, too." He said with a smile.
Those words. Those awesome, sweet words. She smiled at him. She leaned down and kissed his cheek.
"So, are you my girlfriend?" He wanted to clear it all up.
"Yea, Greg, I think I am." Sara said to him.
He got up and led her to his bedroom.
"I'll be in the living room. You can get some rest here, if you want. Also, you can ride with me to work, if you want." Greg offered.
"Thanks, Greg." She said simply.
He closed the door and walked to the couch. He laid down closing his eyes. She lay down on his bed grabbing his pillow close to her. His pillow smelled like him. She smiled at the scent. She never wanted to forget that sent. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. About an hour later, she shot straight up breathing heavily. She got up and went to the closed door. She opened it and walked quietly down the hall. She didn't want to wake Greg, but she was still tired. She didn't want to go back in their by herself. She lay down beside him and rested her head on his still bare chest. She let her arm fall over his waist. Soon she was back asleep.
A/N: The end of this story will be coming to a close within about…..unless you want me to continue. TBC….for now.
