Walking to the locker room Sara could feel butterflies in her stomach, she knew this was only breakfast after a shift, which the team often did together, but this time it was only her and Grissom a perfect opportunity for something to happen. Sara knew deep down that the chances of something happening was very slim considering her and Grissom's history which usually involves Sara throwing herself at him and opening up to him losing all inhabitations only to get shot down and humiliated. This time will be different, she thought, she promised to herself that she wouldn't be humiliated this time, she would just play it cool and let him do the chasing.
As Sara made her way outside she could see Grissom standing by his car watching her as she walked over to him. The butterflies in Sara's stomach were getting stronger the closer to Grissom she got, she didn't know how she was going to make it through breakfast without making a fool of herself. She knew that her nerves would make her say something regrettable such as "Grissom I want your babies" though she knew she'd never say something that stupid she couldn't help repeating in her head not to dare say that.
"Hi Sara, you ready?" Grissom asked with a slight smirk on his face almost like he knew what was going through Sara's head, or maybe because she had an incredibly worried look on her face.
"Yeah I'm all set, where we going? The usual?" Sara asked.
"I was thinking of having a change today, I found a nice little place just off the strip we could try, unless you want to stick to our usual place?"
"Nah lets check out this new place, its nice to try something different every now and again" Sara replied with a cheeky grin on her face. Grissom didn't know if Sara was still talking about the restaurant or something else but either way Sara had a way of exciting him like no other woman he knew, even if she wasn't trying.
Due to parking problems in any place remotely close the strip they decided it would be best if Sara went with Grissom to save the hastle of finding two parking spaces near each other and the restaurant, not because they couldn't be bothered with the walk but due to not wanting the car to be far out of view due to the amount of crime in Las Vegas.
The conversation on the way to the restaurant was fairly business like, discussing past cases and on going cases, this was a part of Sara's plan of not making a fool of herself, if she kept things business like there'd be less chance of her saying anything which she would most likely regret straight away. She knew she wouldn't be able to keep the conversation professional for long because she knew he would most likely ask her something which would lead to the conversation becoming about her, though this excited her in a way as it could lead to something which she'd been wanting for six years, but from six years experience she knew that would be extremely unlikely to happen.
Before Sara knew it they had arrived at the restaurant and Grissom was pulling up into a space just left of what looked like a posh Italian restaurant. It was 7am but this was Vegas, the city that never sleeps so unsurprisingly it was still open. Sara didn't expect Grissom to bring her to a place like this considering they were both still in their work clothes but due to the time it wasn't particularly busy and so they most likely weren't picky about their customers attire.
As Sara climbed out of Grissom's car and walked to the restaurants door she could feel her butterflies coming back . Grissom held open the door for her and she could get the full extent of how posh the restaurant actually was.
"Table for two?"
TBC!
