After Grissom had paid the bill, he and Sara made their way back to his car.
"I was thinking," Grissom said as he closed his door "Why don't we drive back to campus and get a taxi everywhere else, just incase neither of us is in any state to drive. I'll pay. What do you think?"
Sara smiled at him and turned on the radio "Why Dr. Grissom, are you planning on getting me drunk?" she giggled.
He looked shocked but quickly realised she was joking. He smirked and shook his head. "No, I just thought it'd be easier for both of us." He started the car and recognised the tune coming from the speakers.
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you…
He quickly changed the station. His sudden movement made Sara look at him curiously.
"I hate this song." He lied. He didn't think romantic songs were the way to go right now.
"OK, strange. Turn right after the next set of traffic lights." She said moving her eyes back to the road. The traffic lights turned to red as they approached them and another song was heard.
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes…
Grissom gasped and changed the station again. "What? You don't like this song either? Is there a song you do like?" Sara laughed. He grinned sheepishly at her and waited for the lights to change. When they finally did he turned right and parked in his space at the campus.
I knew I loved you before I met you…
"Damn it!" Grissom punched the radio and it turned off. "What the hell's wrong with the world today?"
"What's wrong with you today? How come you keep turning the radio off?" she placed her hand on his forearm to calm him. His face reddened and he diverted his eyes away from her.
"No reason. Come on," he opened his door and then hers "we'll call for a cab from my room."
They entered his room and he got a bottle of water from his fridge. Sara followed him and leaned on the kitchen counter. "What's wrong Gil? You've been acting strange since we left the restaurant." She closed the gap between them "Is it me? Did I do something? Tell me if I did."
Grissom sighed and shook his head "No Sara, it's not you. It's me. Well it's…complicated. Never mind, forget I said anything. Look, thanks for showing me round this morning and taking me to dinner, but you don't have to take me anywhere else if you don't want to. Don't feel obligated."
Sara was staring at him confused "I don't feel like I have to, I want to. Unless you don't want me to…"
"No, it's not that. It's just…nothing. Lets just go out and have a good time." He picked up the phone and called a cab. Ten minutes later, they were on their way to the other side of town.
