YAY! I'm back with part two of three! I'm so happy. A big thanks goes out to everyone who read/reviewed! Glad you liked it. This chapter is pretty short too. Sorry about that.
Disclaimer: Me own CSI? Sadly, no.
Enjoy!
Hodges' POV
For me, it's a seemingly impossible escape from Sara Sidle.
She walks by my little lab every day, most of the time with a smile on her face. Sometimes I'll get lucky and she'll come looking for me in trace. She'll ask me to swab something, and when she does I wish she would say afterwards "Hey you want to get out of here. You know, go somewhere?" Okay, not exactly like that, but something along the lines of it. Hey, you never know what can happen. I mean, she does like gray hair…
I was in the lab, colouring my hair with a black marker (what, don't look at me like that) when Grissom and Sara came into the room.
"Vanity thy name is, Hodges," Grissom said.
I stuttered, not knowing what to say. "This isn't what it looks like I...actually like my grey hair, the few that I have."
Sara looked at me and spoke the most amazing words ever, "Hodges, don't you know grey hair can be very attractive."
Sara said she thought gray hair was attractive. Now, I'm not one to brag, but I do have gray hair (if you haven't noticed). So, was the comment directed towards me? I certainly hope so! The only thing is Grissom also has gray hair. Is it possible that Sara was talking about him? Yeah, it could be. But let's not throw my hopes out of the window. There was this one time when Sara said to me "Hey. You anywhere on my fibers?" You know, when taken out of context, it sounds like a pick-up line. Maybe it was subtle?
There's a chance for Sara and I to become something more than friends. I even asked her about it. Okay, well, it wasn't exactly clear, but I asked nonetheless…
Sara stood beside me and asked, "What do you think caused these marks?"
I looked at her, "Give me more time. I'm not a miracle worker."
She retorted with, "Well, that's obvious, Hodges. If you were a miracle worker, you wouldn't be rude."
Then I replied, "I wasn't being rude. I was being curt. Rude would be, 'When I know, you'll know'," I looked at Sara, this being my chance, "Friends?"
"No." she simply said.
What? I asked Sara if we were friends, and she said no. Well how about lovers? She didn't say we couldn't be more than friends. Just because we aren't friends, doesn't mean I don't have a chance with her. Okay, that came out wrong, but you know what I meant. I'm not going to give up hope. I'm as eligible to date Sara as much as, say, Nick Stokes. Anyway, what makes me believe that I do have a chance with Sara is something she said to me when that camera crew was filming for a reality show…
The camera crew was following Sara through the lab. She entered the room before the camera crew did.
"Hey gorgeous" she said as I was fixing my hair for the cameras. No one may have noticed, but I had a smile on my face. Not a big one, but a smile nevertheless.
She told me I was gorgeous! Well, okay, it was more of a funny comment since I was trying to get the camera crew to focus on me, but still…gorgeous! Sara could have used another word, but she didn't. Maybe I do have a shot with her. Maybe I'm the type of guy she needs in her life right now.
My name is David Hodges, and I think I'm in love with Sara Sidle.
(cough) Yeah, sorry again for it being short. But, I couldn't think of anything else to write. So...yeah. Part three will be up as soon as I write it. lol. Until next chapter!
