I Do Not Own CSI
"Gil, is that you," the tall blonde asked from behind the couple.
"Hi Melissa," Gil said, turning around at the sound of her voice, Sara still tightly held in his arms.
"Do you mind if I cut in?"
"I was actually dancing with my wi…" Gil said as Sara cut in.
"Actually my arm is getting a little sore, so you can cut in."
"Sara," Gil said confused.
"It's ok," she whispered into his ear.
"I love you and I know that you love me but you two broke on bad terms. Try and fix it, then we'll go have some more fun on our honeymoon."
"Well, if you put it like that," he said, giving her a soft kiss before she left.
"Long time, Gil," Melissa said.
"I believe it's been three years."
"That it has. How have you been, Gil?" she said, stepping a little closer to him.
"Life has been pretty good to me in the last few months. You?"
"Same old same old, I'm still trying to keep the bad guys off the streets. I heard you got shot awhile back."
"Yes, three times, actually. I almost, no, I did die for a minute according to the doctors, but I'm up and back again."
"Well, if three bullets don't put you down then I don't think anything will," she said a little more huskily.
"I had a good nurse."
"Your mom?"
"Yes, her and that woman I was dancing with, Sara."
"She's a looker. How long have you been with her?"
"Over two and a half years."
"Over two and a half, wait is she the one you left me for?"
"I didn't leave you, Melissa. I just couldn't be in a relationship with you anymore."
"Because you wanted to go screw someone half your age!"
"Hey, that's my wife."
"Wife? Wow, how long will that last before you're ready to go find someone younger than her, Gil," she said, separating from him.
"I won't leave her, Melissa."
"You left me."
"Because we weren't working anymore, I'm sorry."
"It's a little late for apologizes, Gil," she said, leaving him standing alone on the dance floor a little confused.
Meanwhile back at the table
"Who's the woman with Gil, Sara," Jim asked as Sara sat down.
"Gil's ex"
"And you're letting him dance with her," Nick asked.
"I trust my husband, Nick. They separated on pretty bad terms, I told Gil to try and make amends."
"What happened," Warrick asked.
"Gil met me."
"Ouch"
"Yeah, not the greatest highlight, but what can you do when love steps in," she said, watching as Melissa stepped closer to Gil.
"Sara, you sure you trust him, because it looks like you're shooting daggers out of your eyes."
"Not towards Gil, towards her," she said, watching the two on the floor.
"So bad terms, huh?"
"Yeah, I think Gil said something to the fact that she loved him but he didn't feel the same way."
"And then you stepped in the picture and it was love at first sight. Uh-oh, looks like it's not going so well over there," Catherine said as the whole table watched Melissa step back and start talking in harsher tones to Gil before she left.
Coming up to the table, Gil took a seat.
"I don't think I made it any better, honey. She's still holding a grudge and is pissed off," Gil said, taking a gulp of his drink.
"What did you say to her?"
"Not much, I did say I was sorry, though. I don't think she accepted it, as you can tell by the way she stormed off."
"Scorned woman, Gil, she might never forgive you. I would just let it go," Jim said.
"I did until someone here made me dance with her."
"Forgive me for trying to make things better," Sara mocked out.
"Tell you what, come dance with me and make me feel better," Gil said, pulling Sara back up.
"I could think of other things to do to you to make you feel better," Sara whispered into his ear with a smile as Gil detoured and backtracked towards the elevators and up to their room, never seeing the team start laughing as they made their detour.
Nor did they see Melissa sitting at the bar, drink in hand, ready to seek some revenge on her ex.
