Chapter 2: Hold Your Enthusiasm

The question completely caught her by surprise; she had no idea what to answer him. If she said no, she knew she'd break his heart, consequently hers as well. But if she says yes, she had a pretty good idea how could it end...

"What?" was the first thing that came to her overwhelmed mind.

Don't make me say it again Sidle! Although he knew he'd have to.

"I said, if you'd like to come to my place tonight, so we can celebrate...if you don't, I'll understand" he said, slowly so she could understand well this time.

"I'll have to check my agenda", she said with a little smile in her face, "And then I'll tell you".

"I hope I don't need to take a number for this" he said with sarcasm, as she giggled softly.

"See you 'round then" she said as she stood up and walked out of the break room, report in hand.

"Sure thing." He observed her walk out, wishing he had a chance with her.

After the talk with Sara in the break room, Greg's day went pretty normal. He went to suspicious death at the Bellagio with Catherine, which made him forget about the whole issue for a while. It took them less than 3 hours to clear the scene and the case, which was only caused by an allergic reaction to seafood.

After they finished, they returned to the lab to go home at the end of the shift. But Catherine realized that Greg was too quite...something was going on.

"What's on your mind, Greg?" Catherine finally broke the ice and asked him, while she was driving.

"Mm..?" Her voice made him get out of his thoughts.

"What's up with you?" She wasn't really sure what was going with him, but definitely something was out of place with the young CSI.

"I have too many things on my mind, that's all..." he answered in a calm tone.

"We all do" she said glancing at him before returning her look to the road. "Work, family...Well, that's in my case" Catherine explained herself. "But I think your 'things in mind' are not fully about work"

She knew that maybe she was wrong, but Catherine had been watching the issue since a lot time ago. Even although she wasn't sure that was the subject he was talking about.

"I don't exactly know if you are thinking what I'm thinking you're thinking, but I think you got the idea right". He glanced at her, and smile slightly knowing that his intention of confusing her wouldn't work.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She wasn't sure what was it all about, but he was her friend, and if she was able to help him, she would do it without a doubt.

"Well, but promise me it won't leave this car" he was being serious now.

"I promise" she said honestly and glanced at him.

"It all started in New York, I met an old friend from college, and we had a chat", he made a pause and then carry on talking, "He told he was married and I told him about-"

"Sara?" she knew she shouldn't say it, but it was pretty obvious under the circumstances.

"I have no idea how you guessed" He said with sarcasm, making her giggled.

"Yes, I told her about Sara, and he reminded me about something of college". Catherine glanced at him, expecting him to keep talking. He sighed and moved on, again...

"He said I should invite her to my place or some place nice and give her flowers to express my feelings" He thought as he took a deep breath, feeling released that he had told someone, although it was not Sara.

Catherine was all melted with his comment, and looked at him in a sweet way, taking her eyes off of the road for too long, indeed.

"Catherine, please, concentrate on the road, or we wouldn't even make it to the lab, and she hasn't answered me yet" Greg said louder, making her return her sight to the road.

"Sorry" she said. "And, when will she answer you?" she was intrigue now; this was like the best novel ever to her.

"I hope soon enough...and if she says yes, that would certainly help, too." He looked at her with and put a special emphasis in the word 'yes'.

"Don't worry, I think she's smart enough to realize what she'd be loosing if she says no". Catherine felt a little pity for him, knowing how much he was suffering waiting for an answer. In fact, she thought she knew, because what he was feeling now, he couldn't even understand it himself.

The chat made the way back to the lab much more short, which was good for Catherine, but not for Greg indeed. Catherine parked in the parking lot, and they took all the evidence out of the USV. Once inside the lab, Catherine went to the A/V room to left a few samples and Greg went directly to the break-room, hoping to find Sara, and that she might give him an answer.

And In fact, she was there taking a break as she was reading a report, as usual...

"What do I tell her! What do I tell her!" he thought as he made his way into the break room.

"Hi, there" she answered without looking up from her report, her voice almost made him jump; he didn't even notice she had seen him.

"Hi, Sara" Greg answered, and went to the counter to make himself a coffee. Then he went and sat next to her in the couch, but keeping the distance, he didn't want her to think that he was invading her personal space. "The last thing I need from her is a smack in the face".

"I have your answer". She looked up at him with a smile on her face.

"Is it going to hurt?" he answered sarcastically, making her laugh.

"If you don't shut up and let me answer you, it will". He looked down the floor trying his best not to laugh at her comment.

"I say yes, I'll go to your place" she answered smiling widely at him. At that moment the only thing he wanted to do was kiss her, but obviously realize it wouldn't be very smart.

At the same time, they could almost swear they heard kind of a "Yeah! That's the Way Sanders!" coming from the hall, but they didn't pay attention to it.

"I'll see tonight then, at 8?" she said as she stood up and stopped in the door, in her way out.

"At 8 is fine, see you then" he answered, still he wasn't able to believe his luck. "I think I won the Jackpot!" he thought

A few minutes later Sara's left, Catherine went into the break room with a wide smile in her face.

"You heard it all, didn't you?" Greg asked, frowning at her.

"Listen dear, I'm a supervisor, but in comparison with Gil, I don't miss anything that happens in this lab...especially when It's about relation ships, your relation ships" she answered between laughs, and pointed at him at the end.

"Why me?" Why did I do!" Greg raised her voice making Catherine burst out laughing.

"You're the youngest one, and you've been chasing Sara since she first came into the lab, I'm not missing the end of this love story". She put a hand on Greg's shoulder, noticing how embarrassed he was.

"Put it there Sanders, you did it!" Catherine said and they both clasped hands. This was going to be an interesting shift, and certainly and interesting night.

A/N: We hope you have enjoyed it!. Thanks for reading and press that little purple button that doesn't bite:D.

Happy Student's Day to everyone that is one! (over here we are celebrating that day;).
