A/N: Apology for taking so long with this.
Grissom gave Sara his normal 'good job' speech. Catherine was putting some finishing touches on her case. Greg and Nick were still in processing.
Greg met Sara out in the parking lot. He smiled as he gave her a small hug. She looked frustrated.
"Care to talk?"
"I just hate working with him." Sara replied.
"What happened?"
"He just kept looking at me. Nothing really, just I don't know. It's fine." She said
He smiled and leaned into her kissing her. She pulled away.
"Greg, not here. We're at work."
"No one's around. No one cares."
She wouldn't budge. They decided to just call it a night with the promise of a phone call as soon as they arrived. What neither of them knew was that Grissom had seen it all. He was frowning. Greg was with Sara. Greg had kissed his Sara. Greg would pay.
The next night they were all given assignments and once again Sara was with Grissom. She silently protested whenever he wasn't around. That night he was different. They wrapped their evidence up and headed back to the lab.
"Sara, how-would you care to go for a drink after shift tonight?"
"Tonight's not good for me." Sara replied as politely as possible.
Why is he all of a sudden coming after me? She wondered to herself. She shook her head free of the thought just as they were pulling into the lab's parking lot. She spotted Greg's vehicle and couldn't help but smile. Inside she headed to the break room and spotted him.
"What are you doing tonight?" She asked him.
He smiled at her.
"Well, under any normal night nothing, but tonight I am meeting this lovely woman after she gets off from work."
"Oh." She said acting sad and disappointed.
"Yea," he continued walking towards her.
He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close.
"I'll see you after shift." He whispered in her ear.
He left her with this grin on her face. Warrick walked in and helped himself to a cup of coffee. He had been working with Catherine.
Catherine walked in and smiled at the sight of Warrick. Sara took notice but acknowledged nothing. As soon as shift was over, she hurried to Greg. She approached him.
"When are you going to take me out on a real date?" She asked him.
He smiled.
"Tomorrow night, ma'am," He said back to her.
"Really! Where are we going?" She asked excited.
"It's a surprise. Right after shift your mine."
The day of their date came, and Sara found herself unable to concentrate on the case she was working on with Grissom. She was excited at the thought of what Greg was planning. Finally, the clock slowly reached the time Sara was waiting for. She clocked out and hurried to her car. She spotted a red rose and card saying "Turn around." She slowly turned and saw Greg wearing a clean pair of jeans and a button down shirt.
"So?"
"We're going to the movie theater and your to pick anything you want to see. I'll be buying the snacks. Then, I'll come back and pay for the tickets once you've picked a movie."
They ended up watching Star Wars. Something that wouldn't be too horrifying yet not to "girly" either.
They ended with him dropping her back off at the lab and then following her home to make sure she got in ok. She waved at him from her door. He smiled as he waved back.
Come home with me. His head screamed at him. I want you. Can't you see that? I never want to be a part from you. He shook his thoughts.
"I can't rush things I may scare her away."
The next night after wrapping up their cases, they headed to his house.
"You're taking me here for our date?"
"Don't pass judgment just yet."
He opened the door and stepped to the side allowing her to go first. She then put her hand over her mouth. He had placed candles in the middle of the table along with a bottle of wine and sitting there were two salads. She turned to him. He smiled and kissed her hand.
"Greg, it's beautiful." She said slightly still taken aback.
"No, you're beautiful." He replied.
He pulled out her chair for her. Then he seated himself.
"When did you get this romantic?"
"I read a book."
She laughed and took his hand in hers and squeezed it. They finished eating and were sitting cuddled on his couch.
"You want to just stay here?"
"I have to sleep, Greg,"
"I have a bed. I'll sleep here on the couch and wake you in time so you're not late for shift."
"Greg, I am not throwing you out of your bed."
"You aren't sleeping here, and I can promise you if I go back there with you….there won't be any sleeping involved."
She blushed and headed back to his bedroom. She lay down and sniffed his pillow. She held it close to her as she drifted to sleep.
