A/N: This past week has been kinda tough on me. The last couple hours worse. I just don't know what to do right now. Kinda confused, kinda tired. I had this chapter done yesterday but didn't feel like rereading it to check for errors until tonight.

I begin to stir like it's any ole morning and then I go to roll to my right and I hit something. I open my eyes and it's Greg. I look up at the ceiling and then look back at Greg. I had sex with Greg Sanders. I can't get over it. It's not terror or grief, I just can't believe how right I feel laying next to him right now.

"Sara, you're thinking too much, I can tell." Greg mumbles as he wakes. "You're at my place, no thinking allowed."

"Well, I was thinking about you." I lay my head on his chest and I can feel him laugh but he doesn't really let out a sound.

He kisses the top of my head as he props himself up a little. "C'mon sweetheart, we should get up."

"Why?" I sit up and look up at him, "Just a little longer, please?"

"Okay, okay. But we got a long day ahead of us."

Long day? What is he talking about? Oh well. I lay back down with my head on his chest as he runs his fingers through my hair. This feels way too good to think about today as a whole... or hell, even five minutes from now. I love this. Wait... love? What? Where did that come from?

"The fair?" I turn and look at Greg as we pull into a huge make-shift parking lot.

"Yes, Sara, the fair..." He smiles and I can just see by the glow in his eyes there's a sarcastic remark coming just around the corner, "..and that right over there is a tree, and this is an automobile that we are riding in."

I just laugh and look at him, "Why did you pick the fair?"

"Because, I knew the fair isn't something you'd usually do and I wanted to show you all the cool stuff you can do here. You'll love it I promise." He grabbed my hands and nodded his head towards outside the car.

"Alright." I squeezed his hands and he gave my a quick kiss and then we quickly got out of the car, and like a magnet my left hand was in his right once again.

Two hours go by and I'm having an amazing time. He won me a stuffed animal, which I expected because it was just cheesey enough that Greg just had to. I've eaten enough elephant ears to explode. Who knew that some hot dough with about ten pounds of cinnamon and sugar on it could be so damn good?

"So, did I make good on my promise?" he smiles brushing a few strands of hair from my face and tucks them behind my ear.

"By leaps and bounds. I'm having the most amazing time." and at just that moment, I hear beeping that for this one time I dread. "That's me."

"Are you serious?" Greg sighs.

"Oh wait, it's Catherine. Hold on." I dail her number hoping that it's anything other than work. "Yeah, hey Catherine"

"Hey, Sara." came the familiar female voice.

"Why did you page me?"

"I just wanted you to say hi to Greg for me."

"What?" I say in shock, I think I know what's coming.

"Look to your right. Merry-Go-Round."

I'm pretty hesitant, but I have to look. I see her and slowly shut my phone. I don't really know what to do. Okay, now I wish it would've been work.

"Um, Greg... Catherine says 'Hi'..." I point to my right and then bury my forehead into my arm.

"Let's go over there! Oh, Lindsay is there too! C'mon, let's go." He sees me hesistate, "Has anything we've done so far together hurt you in any way?"

"No."

"Then I'm just asking you to trust me one more time."

"Hi Cath... Hello there Lindsay. How's things?" Greg walks over and hugs both of them as I just stand close but far away enough to feel comfotable and give a light wave and a smile.

"We're good. So what are you two doing here?" Catherine puts her hands on her hips quickly glancing at me and then at Greg.

Greg looks at me and I just nod. There's nothing to hide she's figured it out already. Fighting it just turns it into a rumor which is often worse than it being known as true. It's simple... if you admit something it's far less interesting than if you were trying to hide it like it's some huge deal.

"Going out on a date, like the two mature adults we are." Greg smiled and I let out a little laugh.

"You know Greg, she believed you up until you had to go and add the word 'mature'. Now she thinks you're lying about us going out!" I say as I walk closer finally feeling comfortable.

"Haha, don't worry I believe you. I owe Nick and Warrick ten bucks a piece. That sucks."

"What the hell? Do you guys have a running bet on everything that happens in my life?" I shake my head almost expecting it.

"No... no, just your relationships and what color shirt your gunna wear. I got 5 bucks on brown or any type of tannish cream color." She gives me a wink.

"Well, I'm just curious as to how you lost $20 now that we're at it."

Catherine sits down and soon Lindsay, Greg and I folllow.

"Well, silly me, I thought news would break that you and Grissom were together but Nick and Warrick insisted it would be you and Greg."

"When did you make this bet?" I raise my eyebrow. I'm pretty sure Nick and Warrick just screwed Catherine out of $20 with inside information.

"Yesterday actually... which is strange."

"Oh, Catherine. They screwed you over big time. Nick found out already... and despite my begging him not to, he probably told Warrick." I sigh but I smile. "That's what you get I guess."

"That figures." she shakes her head as everyone else laughs.

We talked for about an hour about lots of nothing which is actually refreshing, because it's a pretty new thing for me. Getting out and just talking. I really feel like I belong for once, I'm not just on the payroll.

"It's been nice, but we're gunna go. We still have some more plans for today." Greg flashes a grin at Catherine as he grabs me around my waist.

"Alright kids, play safe." Catherine waves.

Greg and I make our way to the Tahoe and I'm curious again.

"So what's next?"

"You'll see."

I've never had so much fun in my life, we just saw a double feature in the movie theater. Who would suspect members of the Las Vegas crime lab of sneaking in an extra flick just for the hell of it. It's not that we couldn't afford the $7 each, it was just really funny snooping around the hallways finding whatever movie we wanted to see that hadn't started already.

"Where to next, Greg?"

"Haven't you caught onto the whole secretive romantic thing yet?" He rolls his eyes sarcastically squuezing my hand as we walk out the back exit of the movie theater.

After a whole lot of driving it's finally dark out and Greg stops, "This spot looks perfect."

"But it's the middle of no where." I question.

"Exactly." He grins removing the battery from his pager and shutting his phone off. "No Catherine, no Nick, no Warrick, no work... just me, you and the stars. No that is not a line."

I don't even need to take the time to think. I pop the battery out of my pager and shut my phone off tossing them both to the floor of the SUV. I feel the weight come off my shoulders as I look into his eyes.

"So how bout those stars..."


A/N: Hope you liked it. It looks like I've been writing this story for a month. I'm usualy quicker to update fics, but I'm just getting back into writing and this is my first CSI fiction. Actually this is my first fic based completely on already established characters. I'm used to writing about a created main character in the world of already existing ones.
