Kiss Me Slowly Chapter 2, a csi fanfic

Hey Guys!

Things are crazy, packing for a camping trip. I woke up at 5 to write this! So tired. Anyway, this is the conclusion to "Kiss Me Slowly". The song? "Strange World" By Parachute. If you like it, hate it, or don't really care, review. Bye! Pray that a bear doesn't eat me!

2 YEARS LATER

"Greg?" I know that voice. I turn around, the many people in Times Square blocking me. You'd think that because there are hundreds of people around us, it be hard to spot her. It's not.

"Sara?" She pushes the people in front of her out of the way and reaches me. Sara. So many thoughts fill my head. Why are you in New York? Are you still a CSI? Why did you leave that morning? My head is spinning at the unanswered questions.

Let me out

My world is spinning

And it just won't stop

"Greg! I can't believe it's you!"

"In the flesh." Why Sara? Do the words "I Love You" not mean anything anymore? You said you wouldn't run. And yet, you said "I Love You", let me fall back asleep, and then left. Me and Vegas. You disappeared of the face of the earth! Why? We let our guards down, and you just left. You know, maybe I should just walk away right now. Give you a taste of your own medicine. I can't bear getting hurt again.

I'm so deep in it

And I've had enough.

I just can't do it again

"God, I can't believe it's you! C'mon, lets go out for drinks. Catch up." She smiles. I'm going to regret this.

But then you drop that bomb,

All I can hear is all these car alarms

And then I realized that I've gone too far

"You know a place?" Her smile widens.

"Yeah, let's go!" She grabs my hand as she hails a cab.

And now I'm slipping away

Hey

We get into a cab and Sara tells the driver instructions. We stop in front of a bar with a big sign over it, reading BLU3CRUSH in bright, neon letters. I think the name is a little strange, but I let Sara drag me into it. This is so stupid. She can't just keep...playing me like this. Stringing me along after she left like that.

So keep me hanging on

Hold me down and

Stop me when I fall

And love me when it makes no sense at all

Even when I'm wrong

Keep me hanging on

Got me living in a strange world, strange world, strange world

She pulls me into a booth, and we sit across from each other, New York's light playing off our faces.

"Still working in Vegas?" I nod, and confusion crosses her features. "Why are you in New York?"

"My sister, Taylor, she lives here. I'm visiting. What about you?"

"I work here. I'm a cop." She flashes me a badge.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I wanted to let someone else solve the mystery. All I ever wanted in the job was to get the bad guys off the street. I'm doing it now." She's changed so much in two years. The Sara I knew is now a cop. Her previously short hair now reaches her ribcage. in Vegas, she refused to wear her hair long. She looks less frail, now her small build is all muscle. She looks paler, less sunlight, but a lot happier. The only thing that remains the same is her outfit. The button down and jeans is something she would definitely wear in Vegas. But still...her differences confuse me. The world seems to be making fun of me, mocking me, showing me I don't know her as well as I thought.

Shadows swim

I hear them laughing

At the state I'm in

Their eyes keep staring

And they just won't quit

And they whisper your name

She looks happier, and she probably is. I, however, am a mess. After she left that morning, my world just shattered. It was hard on everyone, but to me it felt like a knife had been driven into my heart. I don't sleep anymore.

Over there I just close my eyes

I never sleep through all these endless nights

And when I dream it's all in black and white

And I'm just slipping away

Hey

"Look, I know your mad. I shouldn't have left. But...I didn't know how to be in love. it terrified me. I thought running would be smart. It wasn't. I was actually planning on moving back to Vegas, believe it or not. Grissom says the labs understaffed. I miss you guys. I miss you, Greg. God, I was so scared of being in loved that I ruined the chance."

"No, you didn't Sara. I still love you. Maybe I shouldn't tell you, maybe you'll run again, but for what it's worth, I've loved you since you stepped into the lab that day."She walks over to my side of the booth, touching her forehead to mine like she did 2 years ago. I feel myself falling into her again.

So keep my hanging on

Hold me down and

Stop me when I fall

"Sara, are you going to run again?"

"Yes." She doesn't hesitate in answering, and my heart shatters. "I'm going to run back to Vegas. With you."

And love me when it makes no sense at all

And with that, she touches her lips to mine like she did that night. And like that nigh, I don't move at first. And like that night, eventually, I respond to her kiss. But unlike that night, she's not going to run. I know that for sure.

Got me living in a strange world, strange world, strange world
