Chapter 15

Interruptions

Sara and Catherine had been back at work for a week now, and their relationship had flourished over that time However, tonight Sara Sidle sat in the break room with a cup of Greg's Blue Hawaiian coffee in front of her that she had managed to charm from the spiky haired lab tech. It was amazing how far a little light flirting could get her with Greg. As she sipped on her coffee and flipped through a copy of the latest forensics magazine her phone went off, indicating a text message. Pulling her phone from its location at her hip she flipped it open and read the message.

"Come to my office. I need your help. C."

Sara grinned at the message. She quickly finished her coffee and stood up leaving the room in the direction of Catherine's office.

***

Sara walked into Catherine's office, shutting the door behind her before flopping into a chair in front of Catherine's desk. She spoke before Catherine had even looked up from the paperwork she was absorbed in.

"Can you believe that criminals appear to be on vacation tonight? This town is called 'Sin City', how can it be that no one is committing any sins?" Sara said exasperatedly.

Catherine looked up and locked eyes with the brunette before her "isn't a good thing if there's no crime?" Catherine grinned.

"Well yes. But…I'm bored Catherine!"

Catherine laughed at the immature tone of Sara's voice. "That's the exact tone Lindsey uses when she's bored, you know?"

"It's a gift. That and I've obviously been hanging out with your daughter too much. She's starting to rub off on me." Sara shrugged. "Are you going to give me something to do or not?"

"I did say that I needed you, didn't I?"

"Yes you did. So, what was it that you needed me for?" Sara cocked her head to one side as she asked the question.

"Come here." Catherine said seductively as she pushed her chair slightly back and patted the desk in front of her.

Sara instantly knew the kind of help Catherine needed. She rounded the desk and settled herself on the edge of it facing Catherine. "What can I do for you today, CSI Willows?" Sara asked with a grin.

"I'm sure you can think of something" the blonde replied as she ran her fingers along the buttons on Sara's shirt, before popping the top one open.

With the first button of her shirt undone, Sara reached forward and pulled Catherine's chair as close to her as the desk would allow. She then buried her fingers in Catherine's soft blonde hair as their lips came together in a passionate kiss. As they separated Sara whispered "I have a few ideas" and grabbed the hem of Catherine's top, pulling it up and over the blonde's head.

Catherine wasn't interested in teasing Sara today. She wanted Sara, and she wanted her now! With that in mind, Catherine grabbed each side of the brunette's shirt and pulled hard. A popping and tearing was heard as the buttons on Sara's shirt flew across the room. She then roughly pushed the shirt off Sara's shoulders before going to work, kissing and nipping at as much exposed skin as possible. She dipped her tongue into Sara's belly button, causing her to moan and squirm under the blonde's touch.

As Catherine was moving back up Sara's body, Sara's hands moved down Catherine's body. Catherine was between Sara's legs, leaning against her trying to get clear access to the younger woman's neck. Sara shifted slightly, and managed to pop the button on Catherine's jeans. At the same moment that Sara had gotten the button on Catherine's jeans free, Catherine had reached Sara's pulse point and sucked hard. When Catherine released Sara's skin from her mouth there was an audible pop as she lost suction on the area. Sara cried out and slid Catherine's zipper down, forcing a hand between Catherine's centre and her underwear.

As soon as Catherine felt Sara touching her, she immediately slid her arms around the taller woman. The gesture was not that of an innocent hug however, it was the easiest way to reach Sara's bra. Catherine stretched her fingers and touched the clasp. She fumbled and at that moment the door flew open.

"Catherine I…" Both Catherine and Sara quickly looked up at the interruption to find a stunned Greg Sanders standing in the doorway. His mouth had fallen open, but he managed a mumbled "sorry" as he backed out of the room shutting the door behind him.

Catherine and Sara looked at each other before springing into action. Catherine stood and did her pants up before pulling her top back on, while Sara retrieved her shirt and put it back on. Sara looked down at her shirt as she went to do up the buttons only to realise that most of the buttons were missing. A quick scan of the room reminded Sara that Catherine had torn her shirt from her body, and that the buttons currently littered the room.

The pair had dressed in silence, but now Catherine was pacing the room. "Shit! You didn't lock the door?"

"I guess not. Although at the time I didn't realise we were going to make out in your office." Sara replied, looking at the blonde who was still pacing.

"I can't believe this!" Catherine's exasperation was clearly shown now.

Sara walked over to her, and grabbed her arm forcing her to stop her pacing, before forcing her to sit back in her chair. "Look, just relax, ok?"

"Relax? Sara, how can I relax when Greg Sanders just walked in on us making out?" Catherine was beyond incredulous, and glared at Sara.

"Hey, it's not as if I wanted to get caught making out with you in your office either." Sara replied. "Especially not by Greg while I was wearing a bra."

"So you would've been ok with this so long as you were wearing your shirt?"

"Catherine that's not what I meant and you know it."

"You're right. I'm sorry Sara; this really isn't your fault. I should've told you to lock the door."

"Don't worry about it." Sara pondered for a moment before continuing, "You know, for all of Greg's crazy fantasies and everything, he seemed pretty shocked today. You'd think he'd never seen two women having some fun before."

"Hmmm…maybe he's just never accidentally walked in two women he knows doing that at work" Catherine replied with a smirk. "Maybe you should talk to him, Sar."

"Why me?"

"Because you two are really close. And considering he was the poor guy who walked in on it, I think he deserves to know what's going on, don't you?"

"Yeah he does deserve that much." Sara replied.

"So, you'll talk to him before the end of shift?" Catherine asked.

"I'll go and talk to him now, it's not like I was doing anything anyway" Sara replied. She stood up, gave Catherine a quick kiss on the cheek and walked out the door closing it firmly behind her.

***

Sara had left Catherine's office and was now in search of Greg. She assumed he'd be working in the DNA lab as usual, so that was where she chose to start. Looking through the glass walls of the lab she saw him busy processing some samples.

"Hey Greg" she said wandering into the room.

"Um, hi." He responded not even looking up. "I'm uh, really busy. So if you don't mind…"

"Can I talk to you for a sec Greg?" Sara asked, "It's important."

Greg still hadn't looked at Sara and he squeaked out "I didn't see anything! Really Sara, I didn't…and even if I did…I wouldn't tell anyone, I swear!" He gulped. "Please don't hurt me!"

"Why would I wanna hurt you Greg?" Sara raised an eyebrow in question. "Seriously, I just want to talk to you for a minute."

"Really, I am very busy!" Greg finally looked up at Sara. "What happened to your shirt?"

Sara looked down and cursed herself for not switching shirts before coming to talk to Greg. Her shirt was currently hanging open showing her black bra to anyone who passed by. "Shit! It um…it had an accident?" Sara tried. "C'mon," Sara said reaching over and grabbing Greg's lab coat and dragging him from the room, "I need to change, and I still need to talk to you." Sara stalked down the corridor still pulling Greg along, and pushed him into the locker room.

"Did you have to manhandle me, Sara?" Greg asked as he straightened his lab coat, while Sara walked over to her locker, "now you've ruined my image."

Sara snorted "What image? Besides, if you would just talk to me it wouldn't have been an issue now, would it?" Sara said as she opened her locker and pulled out a clean tank top. She turned her back to Greg and slipped her shirt off before pulling on the tank top and closing her locker.

Greg tried to distract himself from Sara's perfect back and obvious black bra by clearing his throat and asking a question, "uh, what was it you wanted to talk about?"

Sara turned around and looked incredulously at Greg, "I thought we'd start with the latest case you were working on. How's the DNA coming?" Sara said sarcastically, "what do you think I want to talk about, Greg?"

"There's really nothing to talk about. Like I said, I didn't see anything…"

"Oh c'mon Greg! I know you saw something." Sara teased. She grew serious and continued, "Greg, you're my best friend, and I think you deserve an explanation."

Greg shook his head, "whatever I did, or didn't see, you don't have to tell me anything. I know you're a private person and…"

"And I know that you, Gregory Sanders, are a gossip and like to know everything that goes on around this lab." Greg blushed a deep red. "Like I was saying, you deserve to know. So here it is…so long as you promise to tell no one?"

Greg nodded, "Of course not Sara."

"Good, and if I find out that you blabbed…I will hurt you." Greg nodded again, and Sara continued. "I'm just gonna say it…Greg, Catherine and I are dating."

Greg's jaw dropped. "I…uh, what? You and Catherine are what?"

Sara rolled her eyes "Dating. What did you think you walked in on?"

"Well, not that. I just thought Catherine must have been…I dunno, looking at something for you. You know," Greg waved a hand directed at Sara's chest "your lady bits."

Sara burst into laughter "Catherine was looking at my lady bits? So I didn't need to tell you anything after all?"

Greg's face was so red it would have made a tomato jealous. "I guess not."

Sara smiled reassuringly at Greg "its ok Greggo, how were you meant to know we were dating?"

"Yeah I guess. You know, this really sucks?"

"What sucks?" Sara asked confused.

"Well, not only are the two hottest women in this lab taken. But they're both into women AND they're taken with each other! I never stood a chance."

"Aw, Greggo. I'm sorry."

"You know you could make it up to me?" Greg said, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Greg." Sara warned. "I'm not sleeping with you, Catherine's not sleeping with you AND we sure as hell aren't going to sleep together in front of you."

Greg laughed. "As fun as any of those options would have been, I want something much simpler than that."

"And what's that?"

"Just one of our movie nights." Greg replied.

"Are you kidding me Greg? You want a movie night?"

"I'm deadly serious. I'll bring the movies; you get the pizza, and invite Catherine along too. That'll make it a really fun night."

"Catherine can't come, Greggo, she's busy. She's looking after Linds tonight."

"Tell you what; ask Catherine if it's ok to have a movie night at her place. I bet Lindsey is missing Uncle Greg anyway."

"Uncle Greg?" Sara replied with a laugh. "Ok, I'll ask her, and I'll let you know what she says. I don't think it'll be a problem though."

"Cool, just let me know, ok?" Greg said as he walked towards the door.

"Oh, and Greg?"

"Yeah?"

"Make sure you pick a movie that's appropriate for Linds. I don't want you bringing some slasher movie."

Greg grinned at the brunette, "You're going to be an awesome mom to Lindsey, you know that?" He watched as Sara blushed, "thanks for telling me Sara. I really hope everything works out for you two, you make an amazing power couple."

"Thanks Greg." Sara replied. "For everything."

"Anytime." And with that Greg walked out the door, back to his DNA lab.

***

Sara had sat on the bench in the locker room going over everything that had happened this shift. In Catherine's office, the interruption, and finally actually talking to Greg. It'd gone so much better than she'd expected. Coming back to reality, Sara pulled out her phone and dialled a very familiar number. After a few rings, a voice answered.

"Willows."

"Hey Cat, it's Sara."

"How'd it go with Greg?" Catherine asked, her voice had a twinge of concern.

"It was actually fine. That's why I called you actually."

"Because of Greg?"

"Well yeah. Um, Greg wants a movie night," Sara said.

"A movie night. Why?"

"It's something that he and I used to do occasionally."

"And you're asking permission to go…" Catherine sounded confused.

"Not exactly. Look, Greg invited both of us. But I know that Linds is home, so I said you'd be busy. So Greg thought that maybe…if you agreed of course…"

"Spit it out Sara."

"Greg thought we could have a movie night at your place. You, me, Linds and Greg that is. Along with some movies and pizza."

Sara thought she could hear Catherine smile over the phone. "That sounds like a great idea Sara."

"You sure?" Sara asked, "I don't wanna pressure you or anything."

"It's fine. It'll be fun." Catherine replied.

"Alright, I'll let Greg know then. Love you Cat." Sara replied before ending the call. She sent a quick message to Greg, before heading back to the break room to grab another coffee and wait for shift to end.
