I Do Not Own CSI

"So, you're not going to tell me where you're taking me tonight," Sara asked.

"Nope, seeing as we only have tonight and tomorrow left in San Francisco, I thought we could do something special. We're not going too far so I can drive," Gil said as he took the keys to Sara's car off the table.

"You sure"

"I'm fine, if I wasn't I would tell you. Now come on, let's go," Gil said as he looked at his watch.

"Golden Gate Park," Sara wondered aloud.

"Yeah, it's been awhile since we've been here. I thought we could have a picnic at sunset."

"But we didn't bring picnic stuff."

"It's in the trunk, my dear."

"Gil, this is heavy, you're not supposed to lift that much."

"I know, that's why I got James to put it in there before he left."

"Where was I and how did I miss you packing a picnic?"

"You were packing the last of your bedroom stuff, so it gave me plenty of time to make a picnic," Gil said as he grabbed the blanket and Sara grabbed the basket.

"Well, seeing as you're in charge, where do you want to eat?"

"Over on the hill over looking the bridge."

"Nice spot, I believe we had our first date there."

"You always did have a good memory," he replied as they straightened out the blanket and sat down.

"Ok, I'm hungry, what did you make?"

"Let's see, I basically just cleaned out your fridge, although James bought some things for me. First off, we have some sandwiches, next we have some cheeses and strawberries to go with that. Then we have a chocolate torte from that little bakery you took me to."

"Nana's Bakery?"

"Yeah, and I know you have a weak spot for anything chocolate."

"I could skip everything else and just eat that torte right now," Sara said, eyeing the torte.

"Dinner first. And lastly, there's a nice bottle of wine to finish off the evening."

"This is very romantic, Gil, thank you."

"Anything for you, Sara," he said as he fed her a strawberry.

"Mmmm, those are nice and sweet!"

"Up for a little experiment?"

"With you, always."

"Come sit a little closer to me."

"Ok," Sara said, scooting up closer to him.

"Little more"

"This good"

"Perfect," he said. Gil sat with his legs out stretched and Sara in between them, her legs falling to behind Gil's back, like she was straddling him.

"Now what?"

"Close your eyes. Take a bite"

"It's not something gross is it?"

"I promise that you'll like it."

"Ok, I trust you," she said as Gil fed her another strawberry, watching as she licked the juices off her lips.

"Your experiment was watching me eat a strawberry?"

"No," Gil replied as he closed the distance between the two, kissing her soundly while taking her hand and sliding a ring on her finger.

"You taste like strawberries," he said as Sara regained her senses from that kiss, not even realizing what Gil had slid onto her finger.

"Wow, all I can say to that kiss is wow. You can feed me all the strawberries you want if you keep kissing me like that."

"I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Look, sunset," Gil said as Sara manuvered herself around so that her back was slightly supported by Gil's chest.

"It's beautiful"

"I've seen things more beautiful," he whispered in her ear, causing Sara to blush and smile.

"I love you," she whispered back as the two watched sunset together.

When the sun was almost down, Gil picked up Sara's hand, trying to get her to notice the ring.

"Sara"

"Hmmmm"

"Marry me," he whispered softly, picking up her hand with a beautiful diamond ring on it and intertwining it with his own.

"Yes," she said just as softly back as she looked at their conjoined hands.

"Yes?"

"Yes Gil, there's not a doubt in my mind. I want to spend my life with you, only you."

"There has only ever been you, Sara. You're the only person that has made me feel the way I do when I'm with you. You can make me laugh and ramble one second and then utter me speechless the next."

"You make me feel loved, cherished, and special. You make my knees go weak by just a single touch or look. You're my soul mate, Gil."

"And you're mine," he finished with a kiss to the underside of her ear.

"When did you put this ring on my finger?"

"When I fed you the strawberry, I wanted to know if I could distract you enough to actually slide that on your finger, looks like I can. That will be good for me to know for our future."

"When you kiss me like that, yea. It's beautiful, Gil."

"It was my mom's ring."

"Really"

"Yeah, and my grandmother's before that. They have all had marriages that have lasted until death, all happy, loving marriages. I'm not superstitious or anything but I think this ring is good luck."

"Well, I'll never turn down good luck," Sara said, turning around to finally face her fiancée.

"Your mom is going to flip her lid when she see's this, you know that, right?"

"I do, she gave me that ring not long after she met you. She doesn't know that I asked you yet."

"Well,… why don't…. we… pack… up and … go… celebrate… then," Sara said in between kisses.

"I… like…the …way… you…think…soon… to be….Mrs. Grissom."
