I Do Not Own CSI

"What time do you have to be at Jim's," Sara asked Gil as she put on the finishing touches of her make-up, as best she could with her left hand.

"Damn it," she said, throwing the eyeliner brush down.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Gil, I'm right handed and trying to put make up on with my left is a little difficult," she said, sounding very irritated.

"Here," Gil said, picking up the liner pencil.

"What, you're going to do my make up?"

"How hard can it be? What exactly do I do?"

"Trace the liner on the lid of my eye."

"Then close your eyes and let me try this," Gil said with a smirk.

"And I have to leave for Jim's in a few minutes. I'm supposed to be there around seven," he said, sticking his tongue out of the side of his mouth, concentrating hard.

"You doing ok with that," Sara asked.

"Just about there. How'd I do," Gil asked as Sara opened her eyes and looked in the mirror.

"Very good bug man, have you done this sort of thing before? Wait, you don't have some weird fetish or something you're hiding from me, do you?"

"No, I haven't done this before but it's not that hard. It's just like tracing a line, and no there is no weird fetish."

"Good," Sara finished with a peck to his lips.

"I gotta go. Catherine should be here any minute to pick up your mom and me."

"And a peck is all I get?"

"If I give you more, we'll both be late and then there would be teasing and jokes."

"I'll take that chance," Gil said as Sara raised her eyebrow.

"Well, if you want to chance it," she said, coming closer to Gil until she was pressed up against him.

"I really do."

"Sara, Catherine's here," James yelled through the door.

"I swear, your brother has the worst timing," Gil mumbled, leaning his forehead against hers.

"He always did."

"Sara, you hear me, Catherine's here," James yelled again.

"I'll be out in a second, James."

"Still want that kiss?"

"Yes," Gil said as Sara's lips descended upon his, taking his breath away for once.

"Wow"

"Now you know how it feels to be kissed senseless," Sara said as she left the room with a wink.

"Hey, Cath, you ready to go?" Was all Gil heard as the women left.

"Gil, you ready to go," James said.

"Huh?"

"Sara, left you speechless, didn't she?"

"Yeah, sorry, what did you say before?"

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah, just have to grab my jacket."

"Grissom," Warrick and Nick called out.

"Hey, guys."

"Last night as a bachelor, Gil, how's it feel," Jim asked.

"Pretty good, actually"

"Well, I for one like my bachelorhood," Greg said with a raised glass.

"But you're only 26 years old, Greg, I'm forty-two. Hey, Mark," Gil said, shaking Sara's old boss's hand.

"Gil, it's good to see you."

"These guys haven't been giving you a hard time, have they," Gil asked.

"Nah, you've got a good bunch of guys as team mates, Gil."

"So, Catherine, where are we going," Sara asked from the passenger's seat.

"First to pick up your friend from the hotel, then we're going to a club. Wendy and Mandy are meeting us there."

"A club? Catherine, we have Gil's mom with us."

"It was her idea, Sara."

"Really? What kind of a club are we going to, Marie?" Sara said looking at her so she could read her lips

"I think its called Chip and Dales."

"What," Sara said with wide eyes.

"Well, seeing as this is a bachelorette party and it's been a long time since I have seen a good looking man get naked, I thought we could have some fun."

"Marie, I'm liking you more and more every minute," Catherine said from her spot as she pulled into the hotel's parking lot. Sara signing for Catherine as she drove

"Oh my God, I can't believe I am here with Gil's mother," Sara muttered into her best friend, Maddie's shoulder.

"Well, she seems to be having a good time," Maddie replied as she watched Marie put a five into one of the dancer's g-string.

"This is going to be etched into my brain forever."

"Then, let's get you a drink."

"No alcohol"

"Sara, it's a party, have a drink." Maddie said with a raised eyebrow

"I can't, not with my meds." Sara covered

"Fine, then you're going to drink something that looks fun," Maddie replied as she got a big, fruity looking drink handed to her.

"There's been a noise complaint reported," the woman said from Jim Brass's doorway.

"Oh shit, who hired you?"

"I'm an officer," the woman said.

"Honey, I know every officer in Vegas and you are not one of them," Jim replied as Greg came up behind him.

"Hey sweets, just in time," he said pulling her into the door and starting the CD in the player.

"Ok, who's the one getting married," she said.

"He is," Greg pointed to Gil as the stripper came over to him to start her dance.

"Tell you what, I give my dances to those three over there," Gil pointed to Warrick, Nick and Greg who were a little drunk and watching the dancer from their spot on the couch.

"I was told to dance for you, sweet cheeks."

"I'll give you an extra fifty on top of what you were paid to dance for them."

"As you wish," she said, going over to the three men on the couch.

"Not into strippers, Gil," Mark asked as he, Jim, James and Gil all watched her from their side of the room.

"Never really have been, a little too fake for me. I like the real thing."

"Like Sara," Jim said.

"Exactly, although I am enjoying watching those three squirm on the couch."

"Well, that was more fun than I've had in ages," Marie said as the gang loaded into Catherine's car.

"It looked like you had it, too," Sara snorted while she signed, making the others laugh.

"I can't help but look if a good-looking man walks by."

"They all seemed to be making your head turn."

"Well, when their behinds are hanging out, it's hard not to look," she said, making the girls start giggling again.

"Ok, Catherine, where are we going now," Sara asked.

"To Jim's, actually."

"We're crashing their party?"

"Not really, we all decided to have a duel party after we each did our individual things," Catherine supplied.

"Plus, I want to meet your single co-workers, Sara," Maddie said making sure Marie could read her lips

"Oh, they're good-looking, too, honey," Marie said, giving Maddie a nudge.

DING DONG

"That better not be more strippers, guys," Gil warned.

"No strippers, just us," Catherine said, coming into the room with all the women behind her.

"Strippers, huh? I thought you weren't going to have strippers," Sara said with a smirk as she came up to wrap her good arm around Gil.

"So did I until Greg here decided to hire one."

"How was your night," Gil asked.

"I have stories for you."

"Do I want to know?"

"I thought it was funny."

"Later, tell me later."

"Poker, time for poker," Mark called from the table.

"Gil, you play poker," he asked.

"A little..."

"Play nice" Sara whispered as she sat down on Gil's lap in the chair
