Definitely better than expected, Grissom thought as he climbed into the front seat, next to Sara. She smiled and winked before starting the engine. Something in Grissom's stomach woke up and started doing jumping jacks.
"So," Greg said to dissolve the tension, "how's work Sara?"
"Great!" Sara exclaimed, "There's a really nice, sweet guy there."
Greg himself felt like doing jumping jacks. Grissom's face fell- until Sara met his eyes and silently mouthed, "You." Greg watched himself bounce up and down in the rearview mirror and as he watched his spikey hair brush the roof of the SUV, he wondered where he was taking Sara for dinner.
Grissom was wondering the same thing.
So was Sara.
She began circling the block. Greg realized she was waiting for him to say something. It was either then, or Grissom would suggest something. Both men began frantically thinking of a place that wasn't too fancy or casual. Greg wanted to cry he wanted to impress her so badly. Sara surprised them both and said, "Let's go to In-and Out Burgers"
Greg smiled and nodded in the mirror. She caught his eye and smiled flirtatiously back. Greg remembered a rock song, by Green Day: "She's an extraordinary girl…" and began humming it. Grissom rolled his eyes and tried to ignore the Super Sara-Sense siren going off loudly in his ear.
The Tahoe soon pulled up to the restaurant and Greg hopped out, before Sara even stopped the car. Grissom saw what he was doing and jumped out too, slamming the car door. Sara looked puzzledly after him but continued to park. As soon as she turned off the engine, Greg pulled the door open, bowed as far down as he could and offered his hand. "Fair lady," he said dramatically. (he thought "my" was a little too far on the first date.) Unfortunately for him, since he was bowing, he never saw Grissom's tackle coming.
Author's note: I have no idea where this is going, must keep writing….
