CHAPTER 15
Once everyone was in the car they drove to the resort, got their gear, and started skiing. That is, of course, except for Sara and Grissom. They sat in the lounge with coffee and books.
Sara kept trying to read, but everytime she turned a page, she was distracted by her ring, and sat there for ten minutes secretly looking at it. Grissom kept trying to read, but everytime he read a paragraph his mind wandered off to Sara and he ended up secertly staring at her for fifteen minutes.
After two hours of this Grissom abandoned reading and put his book down, and just sat looking at Sara.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" She said after noticing it.
"As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry."
Sara pursed her lips, "Burns."
Grissom leaned down and kissed her. He withdrew and was rewarded with a 'Sara Smile'.
"I'm going to get some more coffee," he said before getting up.
As he left Sara turned back to her book, only to be interupted again.
"How are you feeling?" Gavin questioned.
"Much better, thank you," Sara smiled at him lowering her book.
"Mind if I take a look?" He asked. Sara shook her head and he sat down across from her, picked up her foot and started to gently unwrap it. "It doesn't look to bad. Just stay off it for another week or two and it will be all better." He smiled at her.
"Thank you," Sara said as he started to wrap up her foot again. "So, Sara, I was wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat with me?"
"Thanks, but I'm covered," She said gesturing towards Grissom who was carrying two cups of steaming coffee.
"Oh, well then I'll just get going," he said, retreating quickly after remembering the last encounter with that guy.
"What did he want?" Grissom asked as he gave her her coffee.
"To see my ankle and ask me out," Sara said casually. Seeing Grissom's looked she gigled and contniued, "I told him I was called for already."
Grissom smiled and sat down. Sara put down her book and watched the skiers. They watched as Greg (Noticiable due to his multicolored bright tie-dye hat) went speeding past everybody else and ended up face first in the snow. Sara laughed and watched him as Nick and Warrick sped past and Greg tried to catch up to them. Catherine sped by next, and she actually looked pretty good.
A few minutes later, they four were inside with Grissom and Sara. They took off their hats and gloves and got some coffee. Once they were all situated, Warrick proposed an idea.
"What would you guys think about a group picture?"
"I like the idea," said Nick.
"I don't have any new pictures of the everybody," commented Catherine.
"Why not?" said Greg.
"Okay," opted Sara.
Grissom smiled, "Does anyone have a camera?"
"No, but there was one in the gift shop," said Warrick as he headed off with Nick.
Once the camera was purchased, everyone got ready for the picture. As someone walked by, Grissom asked if they would mind, and of course not minding at all, they took the camera and focused on they group. The camera man thought they all looked very happy, all smiling as he took the picture.
And so their vacation continued.
"It doesn't matter what he said! He wasn't even a doctor!" Sara complained from their bedroom. Grissom was unloading the car and Sara was forced to sit on the bed.
"It does matter. I don't want my fiance hurting herself if I can prevent it. You are not going out in the field. That is final!" Grissom came into the bedroom with the rest of the bags.
"Fine," 'for now' Sara thought. "Can you give me my bag?" She asked. He handed it to her and she immediately went for the pocket which she knew held the pictures. She hadn't been able to see them yet because someone had distracted her on the car ride, and not just Grissom. The whole trip was like Distract-A-Sara. Not fun.
She took out a big wad of photo's and started flipping throught them. Someone (Greg) had gone crazy with the camera. There were several shots of nothing, or feet. One particularly amusing photo was slipped into her bag. It was of Nick and Warrick, hugging each other in what Sara thought was a hotel bed.
Sara stopped when she came to three different pictures.
Two where of her and Grissom. One of which, they obviously didn't know was being taken. They were on the porch (Sara in Grissom's sweatpants), and Sara's legs were resting on Grissom's lap. He was smiling at her and she was giving him a 'Sara Smile' back.
The other one was taken in the lounge. Sara was sitting on Grissom's lap, both smiling, but Sara's smile was as bright as light.
The last one was of everyone. Sara remembered it as they one they took the day after Grissom had proposed to her. She was sitting next to Grissom, with Greg on the other side. Sara again had the biggest smile. Greg had his arm wrapped around Sara's shoulders and Grissom was holding her hand, showing off one huge engagement ring. Behind her was Catherine, who had her arms around both Nick's and Warrick's shoulders. They both had one of their arms around Catherine's waist, and were showing the biggest smiles she had seen on them since Nick's abduction. She could tell that everyone in the picture was truly happy.
"What are you looking at?" Grissom asked, coming over and sitting next to her.
"Some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen," She told truthfully.
"Yeah," Grissom smiled, looking at all three pictures.
Sara put them in frames that she had never used, and placed all three on her nightstand. That was one trip to remember.
A/N- Finito! I think it turned out pretty good, even though I had no idea where it was going! Thank you everyone!
A/N The poem quoted it "A Red, Red Rose" By Robert Burns, and no, I don't own that either.
