A/N well seeing as you have all been so kind, heres another chapter for you. :-)

Grissom was starting to worry, Sara hadn't replied to any of the messages he'd left trying to explain that it wasn't going to be romantic night in after all, when she bounced through the door.

"I brought tea" She shouted only stopping when she noticed four very amused CSI's staring at her.

"Grissom's ordering in, did ya forget Sar?" Nick asked high fiving Greg who was sat next to him as she stood dumbstruck in the doorway.

"One second, you didn't even knock" Catherine remarked watching as Grissom and Sara exchanged glances.

"Grissom text me saying the door was open…I guess I didn't get the memo about what dinner was exactly"

"That's right, I only got the chance to tell her dinner was at mine…sorry Sara" He smiled apologetically even though Catherine looked on suspiciously.

She dropped the bags on the floor and sat on the couch, looking around she couldn't help notice that Grissom had done a pretty good job on the place, it didn't look as if she lived there at all.

"So when's dinner I'm starved" Greg asked breaking the silence.

"I guess now everyone's here we can order it in" Grissom answered "Oh wait where's Brass" he stopped seeing no sign of the man who had arrived first.

"You have a mighty fine toilet Gil" He said "Smells just like lavender" he added wanting to see Grissom squirm.

"I have sensitive skin the lavender shampoo helps soothe it" He made up quickly even though Sara had practically emptied the bottle in the bathroom during their morning activities.

"Right, well lets eat" Brass replied even though Catherine and himself were thinking the same thing... Busted.

"We had such a good night" Catherine remarked to Grissom during the next shift "although your house isn't half as interesting as Greg's"

"Why, no latex?" Grissom answered lightly.

"No, I mean you've decorated the place amazingly, but it's a little plain for my liking"

"I like things simple" Grissom shrugged

"That's a little hard to do when you have a teenager around"

"How is Lindsey?"

"She's a nightmare…but doing very well at school surprisingly"

"She has a great role model" Grissom returned Catherine's smile and sat down behind his desk "Hmm only three cases, could you hand these out to Warrick, Nick and Greg for me…Sara has an old case to work on and your finishing off that robbery gone wrong from yesterday…correct?"

"Yeah, the items I pulled from the dumpster yesterday still need processing"

"I have a meeting with Ecklie in an hour and then court for the rest of the day, if anyone needs me I'll be back before the end of shift"

"Ok, catch you later bug man"

Sara had seen very little of Grissom and today was not going to be any different, their little night in yesterday although ruined gave Sara some time to catch up with her family and like Nick had said "It's times like these we remember forever". Even Grissom had managed to relax and Catherine who took no time in memorising every room of their house suspected nothing of their relationship…or so she thought.

She had just finished interrogating the most irksome suspect in all of Las Vegas when she spotted Grissom standing opposite her, he looked alone and she needed comfort.

His eyes widened as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he simply stood there, he loved this woman so much but explaining this to Warrick who was wide eyed and slack jawed would be difficult.

"Err…" he started but she cut him off, she realised Warrick was there the instant her arms reached Grissom and she had already formulated an excuse "I have just solved a three year old case" she beamed.

Grissom relaxed beside her as Warrick took hold of her and hugged her too "Have a hug from me too girl" He said noticing how her arms remained glued to her waist.

"Thanks, sorry about that Grissom, emotional case and all that" She apologised trying to force professionalism into her slip up.

"Your report will be on my desk in the morning?" he enquired

"I just need to add the interrogation to the file and it will be ready today"

"Warrick, why don't you talk with Brass, see what he can do?"

"Sure boss, anything to get this slime ball locked up" Warrick replied walking away still trying to work out how the no public display of affection girl he knew would just walk up to the equally inept entomologist and hug him.

Maybe Catherine could help him figure it out…

TBC...next chapter will be up tomorrow, please leave a review for the lonely girl typing away :-)
