Grissom woke up the next morning feeling content and for the first time since he could remember truly happy. He felt the warmth of Sara's body on his, her rhythmic breathing enveloping his senses.
He propped himself up on his elbow and watched her sleeping, he had imagined her like this almost everyday since they'd met. As he watched her, he used his free hand to trace the lines of face. He guided his hand up through her hair and back down her neck, before gently placing a kiss on her cheek. As he did this Sara began to stir, blinking at the bright morning light, she smiled up a Grissom.
Grissom was still propped up on one elbow, watching her.
'Morning' he greeted her 'Did you sleep ok?'
Sara mumbled in acknowledgement and rolled into towards Grissoms body, Grissom placed another kiss on her cheek. Grissom stoked her hair as she started to fall asleep again; he gently pulled the covers over her and climbed out of bed. Taking a shower, Grissom recalled the previous nights events, he hopped that this was the begging of something for him and Sara.
When Grissom was finished in the shower, he went back into his bedroom to find Sara was still sleeping, Grissom smiled to himself, deciding against waking her up.
He was disappointed that he had to leave her there, but he had a lecture to give. He wrote her a quick note and left it lying on the pillow beside her, placing one last kiss, this time on her lips, before turning and heading out the door.
When Sara woke later that morning, the sun was shinning brightly through the window; she realized she was hot under the covers. Rolling over to the middle of the bed, she found it empty. She sat up, wondering where Grissom had gone. She listened carefully for sounds of Grissom in the house, and was disappointed when she was met with only silence.
Fear and sadness started to creep into Sara's mind, could he really have just up and left without saying goodbye? Sara started to get out of the bed, looking around the room for her misplaced items of clothes. That's when she saw the small piece of paper on the pillow beside her. Picking up the note she took a deep breath in fearing the worst.
Sara
I had to go, even though I would have preferred to stay here in bed with you, I had a lecture to give and I couldn't miss it.
I didn't want to wake you, there's food in the fridge, help yourself to what ever you need
I'll call you
Gil xx
Sara smiled, re-read the note several times, making sure she had interpreted it correctly. She finally got up out of bed, looking around she realized she had nothing to wear except the dress from last night. She thought she would look ridiculous traipsing back through the campus this time of day in clothes from last night. She might as well have a big arrow pointed about her head saying, someone got lucky last night. Sara searched through Grissom's clothes for something that would be slightly acceptable for her to wear. She found a draw with jumpers and track pants, pulling out a Grey Jumper that said Berkley across the front and matching track pants, she decided these would do. She dug through another draw until she found a large t-shirt, and headed for the shower. She spent along time in the shower, not really having anywhere to be and prolonging going back to her room. After her shower Sara walked around Grissoms apartment, stopping to look at photographs and books he kept, she lingered in the apartment for awhile before deciding she should leave before Grissom got home and found her still there. She gathered her keys and bag, before she noticed she didn't have any shoes, she glanced around the apartment and took a pair of runners, hopping Grissom wouldn't miss those to much. She smiled to herself as she closed the door behind her, she was wearing next to nothing that belonged to her, and she felt ridiculous.
When Sara got back to her room she noticed a box sitting on the floor in front of her door. Bending down to pick it up, she smiled when she was that it was a box of roses. She assumed they were from Grissom, but there was no note on the outside of the box. She opened her door and placed the roses on the bed, she carefully lifted the lid searching the box for a note. She found one at the bottom of the box, she quickly ripped it open eager to read it. What she saw however made her loose her breaths
Sara
I bet you thought these were from someone else, guess you were wrong
I don't like what you did to me last night, Sara, I'm watching you, and your going to wish you had given me what I wanted
Sara felt her legs go week, she collapsed on the bed, as tears formed behind her eyes, and she felt herself shaking uncontrollably.
