Two Weeks In The Bahamas – Chapter 3
Sara walks to her room and lies down. She doesn't know if she is just mad at herself or if she's mad at Grissom.
Grissom sits on the couch next to Catherine and Warrick and sighs. "What's up?" asks Warrick.
"Nothing I'm just… I don't know. How long have you guys all been here?" says Grissom.
"Well we haven't been here long. Nick and Greg and their friends I have no idea. Is something wrong Griss?" says Catherine.
Nick and his girl get up from the couch and Nick takes her hand and leads her to his room. "I don't know Cath… I really don't know anymore." Grissom sighs again. Greg gets up with his girl and takes her to his room for more privacy. "Well I don't know about you two but I'm tired."
"Where are you sleeping Griss?" asked Warrick. "I didn't think you were in the room with Sara last night?"
"I slept on the couch. I might just sleep there again tonight," said Grissom.
"Dude that can't be good for your back," said Warrick.
"It isn't but I don't think Sara wants to share a room with me," said Grissom.
"You can bunk up with Warrick then I'll share a room with Sara," said Catherine.
"Thanks Cath, but I can see you two have something going I wouldn't want to make you do that," said Grissom. "I'll be fine on the couch."
"Whatever floats your boat," said Catherine standing up with Warrick and heading to bed. "Night Griss."
"Night guys," said Grissom grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch and laying down.
Grissom didn't fall asleep very fast he ended up laying there staring at the ceiling for a couple hours before he finally fell asleep.
The next morning Sara woke up and found Grissom on the couch. "No wonder it's so cold. He isn't even sleep in the room. That can't be good for his back," she thought to herself. She went to the kitchen and started the coffee pot and breakfast. Grissom woke up hearing her in the kitchen and helped her make pancakes.
"You know Griss you don't have to sleep on the couch," said Sara softly not to wake the rest of the house.
"I thought you wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed as me so I just thought I would sleep there. It's fine really," said Grissom.
Sara sighed and dropped the topic. Just as breakfast was ready everyone else woke up to join them. They all sat down and had a great breakfast.
They all decided to spend the day on the beach. Nick lay down on a towel next to the girl he spent the night with before and helped her with her sun tan lotion. Greg and the girl he spent the night with played in the waves in the ocean. Warrick and Catherine went for a walk. Grissom sat on the porch reading and Sara lay down and sun tanned.
"Hey Griss…" said Sara.
"Yeah Sara…" said Grissom.
"Can you help me with my suntan lotion?" she asked.
"Sure." He set down his book and grabbed the suntan lotion and kneeled beside her and applied the suntan lotion to her back. His strong hands massaged the lotion into her back and it felt good. When he finished he went to stand up and she grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.
"Stay here and keep me company. You can read anytime," she said smiling. He sat down and they made small talk.
"It's hot," said Sara.
"Yeah. You want to take a dip in the ocean?" said Grissom as he stood and took her hand. He let go of her hand when she stood up and she ran to the ocean so he chased after her. She splashed him so he splashed back and she soon came after him and dunked him. They were flirting and having fun in the ocean when Catherine and Warrick got back from their walk and decided to make lunch for everyone. Grissom and Sara got out of the water and lay down to dry off before they would have to sit down to lunch. Grissom reapplied suntan lotion to Sara's back and she helped him with putting some on his back. They made small talk again.
"Hey guys lunch is ready," Warrick called from the porch. They decided to eat on the porch it was a beautiful day. Everyone joined Warrick and Catherine at the table. They sat down and had another great meal together.
That night there was a party on the beach. There was a DJ and alcohol served, so they went to the party. Sara didn't drink as much this time. Grissom had enough though to give him the courage to do things he didn't usually do. He asked Sara to dance and she went. Greg made a fool of himself and still managed to keep the girl he invited to come with him on his arm. Nick was a complete gentleman. Warrick and Catherine danced the whole time only stopping every once in a while to get a drink. Catherine and Warrick decided to request a song. They requested "Collide" by Howie Day.
"The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah"
"I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again"
"Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide"
Sara and Grissom were dancing during the song. Sara whispered the words in Grissom's ear. He smiled. He didn't know if what he was doing was the right thing, but he was enjoying it and Sara seemed to be too. So he was happy.
"I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind"
"Don't stop now
I lost my place
"Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide"
As the song came to an end Grissom pulled away slightly to look at Sara. She smiled. "I'm going to go get a drink, you want one?" he asked.
"Sure, I'll have a beer," Sara smiled.
"Be right back."
Sara went over to one of the tables and sat down. Grissom joined her with two beers. "Thanks," she said as he handed her her beer.
The party came to an end at midnight so the couples all went back to the beach house. Greg and Nick had managed to keep the girls they had hanging on them all day with them. When they all entered the house they each got another beer and sat in the living room.
"Let's play a game," said Catherine.
"Like what?" asked the girl Nick was with her name was Kristen.
"I don't know truth or dare, spin the bottle, anything," said Catherine.
"Ohh… Let's play spin the bottle," said the girl Greg was with her name was Taylar.
"Someone needs to finish their drink then," said Sara.
Grissom set his empty bottle on the coffee table. "I'll be right back I got to get a new one and I am playing," he said standing up to go in the kitchen and get a refill.
"Hey get everyone a refill Gil we're all almost done," hollered Catherine from the living room.
Grissom came back in with enough beers for everyone and passed them out. He sat on the couch next to Sara.
"Who's going first?" ask Greg.
"I will," said Warrick as he spun the bottle on the coffee table. It landed on Catherine, so he leaned over and kissed her passionately.
"Okay guys we get the point. My turn," said Sara. She spun the bottle. It landed on Nick. "Come here Nicky," she said standing up and making her way across the room to him. She kissed him quickly on the lips and then returned to her seat.
"Okay my turn," said Kristen. She spun the bottle and it landed on Nick. "Yes!" she silently celebrated as she leaned over and kissed Nick.
"Okay my turn," said Greg. He spun the bottle hoping it would land on either Sara or Taylar. It landed on Taylar, so he leaned over and kissed her.
"My turn," said Catherine. It landed on Greg. "Are you serious?"
"Come here Cath you know you want to kiss me," said Greg trying not to laugh. She crossed the room and kissed him quickly to get it over with.
Taylar spun the bottle and it landed on Greg. "Well aren't I lucky I keep getting kisses tonight," said Greg.
"That leaves you Griss," said Nick.
Grissom spun the bottle hoping it would land on Sara cause he didn't feel like kissing a guy or another guy's girl. It started to slow down and everyone stared at it. It landed on Sara. He silently celebrated in his head and leaned over and kissed Sara. Just as he was going to break away she grabbed his head and made the kiss deeper. Everyone stared.
