Gum Drops: Before
Grissom ran a hand down Sara's arm and she opened her eyes. Lifting her head slightly, Sara looked at him.
"Hey, what time is it?"
"Time to wake up Honey, suspected family homicide, all bodies are missing from a local town. I have that lecture at the body farm."
"Alright, is the shower on?"
"No, what me to turn it on?"
"Yeah, I need tea first." He handed her a cup and she smiled as she sipped it, "thanks, hmm."
With her trying to kick her coffee habit, Sara began drinking tea. Getting out of bed as Grissom turned on the shower, Sara got the clothes from her closet since they were at her apartment.
"What should I wear?"
"Honey it's a crime scene." He walked to the closet to see her looking at clothes.
"But will it be a long drive because local is not always near?"
"Four hour drive."
"Jeans and a tank with a jean jacket." Pulling clothes from hangers and passed him going out of the closet.
"You'll need to pack for a few days, motel in town is offering to let you stay free."
"Just throw thing together for me, you know what I wear." From the bathroom, Grissom looked at the clothes and asked himself where do I start?
Sara had more clothes then him but of course she was female. Pulling two pairs of jeans and a pair of slacks with three shirts, Grissom left the closet. He pulled Sara's bookbag from under the bed, she traveled light unlike Catherine. Going to the dresser, he pulled undergarmets and pajamas from it. By the time he finished, Sara was standing in the doorway.
"Not bad Bugman, you can dress me."
"And undress you."
Sara laughed and smiled, going to him.
"Gil, I'll call you tonight I promise."
"Don't forget your straightener." Sara laughed as he said that, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"You know I do that to annoy you don't you?"
"I do and I let you get away with it."
"You'll be late if you don't pack, so pack."
"Done, I did it last night before we came here. I have to go, help the guys and Nick's on point out there, sorry."
"Gil, I'm the one on point, Nick just thinks he is."
"True, I'll see you in a few days." He kissed her and left, Sara grabbed her cup of tea and went to the bathroom, grabbing her stuff quickly before going to the living area. Grissom was heading out.
"Hey Gil," He turned and Sara placed her cup in the sink and put her straightener and other items in her bag quickly. She grabbed her computer bag, keys and phone before meeting him at the door. "Hang on."
"After you m'lady."
"Thank you kind sir."
They walked down together and to Sara's car, Grissom kissed her and she smiled. "Call me when you land."
"I will, I'll text you actually. Be safe Honey."
"Remember I'll call tonight, you'll be in Reno so no time difference. "
They kissed a final time and then left in separate directions.
Gum Drops: Middle
Sara sat in her motel room on the phone with Grissom when a knock came on her door.
"Hang on Baby, someone's at the door."
Sara opened the door to find Warrick.
"Hey girl, can we borrow some towels, Greg got stupid again."
"Yeah, take them all but two." She began talking into the phone again as Warrick got towels. "Yeah, that sounds great, I don't know, maybe green. No not white, too much of a hospital feel. Baby I feel like making my apartment seem lively and not dead. White does that, yes it does. Green or a blue, no I hate pink. Now I could go with that. Alright listen, a co-worker is here so I need to go...his name is Warrick. See you when I get back. Bye" She hung up and Warrick stood there. "Boyfriend."
"I bet, how long?"
"Six months, my next longest is three months. So Greg acted stupid again, how?"
"I see you trying to escape the subject, I'll let you go this time. Greg started to go on about his ex-girlfriend and had a waterbottle in hand if you get the just."
"What are you three doing?"
"Exs talk, Greg and Nick have some intresting stories, come join us. We will only talk about exs."
"My boyfriend doesn't come up!"
"Deal, so what's he like?"
"Respectful, spoils me crazy and isn't engaged or married."
"How old, older or younger?"
"Five plus older then me."
"What does he do?"
"Criminology professor."
"Damn, you do go for older men." She looked at him, "Catherine said you did, Grissom and everyone starred at her. You were gone that night."
"What else does Catherine say about me?"
"You don't want to know, now come on."
Gum Drops: Post
Sara smiled as Grissom joined the team at the diner table.
"So how was the body farm?"
Everyone including Grissom looked at Sara as she asked the question.
"What? I always wanted to go there."
"Man girl you are such a geek!"
"Well Nicky, I'm proud to admit it. Speaking of geeks, tell everyone abouy Faith-Anne."
"Who's Faith-Anne?"
Catherine starred at the four as did Grissom, Nick looked at Sara as she laughed. Greg was the one to speak up.
"NIck's ex-girlfriend from high school, she was a science geek. He was a jock and her a geek...get it."
"Oh boy Nicky..."
Catherine began laughing and so did Greg, Warrick and Sara. Grissom was shaking his head as he watched his girlfriend started everyone laughing. He enjoyed Sara doing that, these were moments he enjoyed.
