Chapter 5

They got up, and went back to the car; the drive back was quiet but nice. When they came into the suite, it was dark.

"Guess Jean is already in bed," Sofia said yawning herself.

"And you should be to," Sara said as they walked down to their rooms. "Thanks for a nice evening Sofia, sweet dreams."

"Likewise, sleep well Sara."

Sofia went into her room, she undressed and put on a top and a pair of boxer before she went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Then she went to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep! The night's event kept running through her head.

Sara most definitely had surprised her, in a lot of ways. Not only that she liked her, but Sofia would never have thought that Sara could be this, carefree happy woman, that she had shown tonight. Or that she trusted her enough, to open up a bit and let Sofia get a look inside the real Sara.

Sofia got out of bed, knowing, that she wouldn't be able to go to sleep, right away. When she opened her door, she could see light coming out from Sara's room, so she knocked on her door.

"Come in Sofia."

Sofia walked in and closed the door; Sara was sitting on the bed, Sofia walked over to her.

"Hi, can't you sleep either?"

"Hi, haven't really tried, I'm reading this old case file. But why aren't you sleeping?"

Sofia shrugged "I don't know, think I'm too restless!"

Sara smiled, "Sofia, you are freezing, if you are staying then get under the blanket."

Sofia crawl under the blanket, Sara was still sitting looking in a case file, she had brought along.

"Sara, don't you ever sleep?"

"Mmm sure," Sara answered, still caught up in the file, in front of her.

"SARA..!"

Sara sighed, closed the case file and threw it on the floor; she lay down on her side close to Sofia and looked at her. "I do sleep," she said, "I'm just not used to sleep at this time at night."

"I know, but you didn't sleep much last night either, and even you need to sleep once in a while," she informed her cheerfully.

"Why? So I can stay awake to another boring day tomorrow." Sara laughed.

Before Sara knew what had happen, she was laying on her back, with Sofia sitting on top of her.

"Sara Sidle, you are being very selfish right now. If I have to stay awake tomorrow so do you, at least to keep me company," she grinned.

"Why? You got Jean to keep you company," she said with a devilish smile on her lips. "I think she likes you!"

"Maybe, but she's not the one I want to keep me awake, or spend my time with."

"Ooh then who?" Sara challenged in response.

"I think you know," Sofia smiled.

Sara frowns while she was pondering…"Nope I…"

Sara didn't get to say anything more, before Sofia bent down and softly put her lips on the brunettes. Sara immediately responded! After a moment, Sara parted her lips just enough for her tongue to slip out for a taste of the blonde's lips. She slowly let her tongue slide over Sofia's upper lip, and then the bottom lip.

Sofia could feel her body shiver, and she couldn't stop moaning, as she felt the brunettes tongue on her lips. It felt so good, -so right! She opened her own mouth, wanted to taste the brunette's lips, -her tongue, -her mouth, and she did! Tongues roaming around each other, first in one mouth then in the others, tasting, playing, with a hunger neither of them knew they had.

Sara wrapped her arms around Sofia, and pressed her body closer to her own. Finally they brook off the kiss, both breathless and desperately in need of air. Sofia leaned back so she could look into Sara's eyes, not entirely sure about what to see, but she was quite aback, to see the mused look in the brunette's eyes.

"God, I'm sorry Sara, I shouldn't have kissed you!"

"Don't be sorry, just tell me why you did it?" Sara asked, fixing her with a questioning look.

"I don't know… I guess…Well, it just felt right!"

"Well, I don't know about right, but it sure was nice! But does it mean, you have found out what to do about this?"

Sofia looked away; "I know, what I want right now," she offered gently.

"Yeah, so do I, but I also know what I want tomorrow, but I don't think you do. Look, I'm not going anywhere, so take your time instead of forcing yourself into something you might regret okay?" Sara tried to point out calmly.

"Yeah, but what if I never figure it out?" Sofia asked concerned.

"You will," Sara smiled, "now let's go to sleep!"

Sofia climbed off Sara, hit the light, and went back under the blanket. Sara cuddled up behind her and placed an arm around her, and soon both were asleep.

When Sofia woke up the next morning, it was to an empty bed, Sara was already up, Sofia got out of bed and went into her own room, to shower and get dressed. In the living room, Sara was reading the program for the day's seminar; she briefly looked up and smiled when Sofia appeared in the room.

"I been going over the papers for today's seminar, and it doesn't seems like its requested that you stay for the dinner tonight, so I'm going to call and changes my plane ticket till tonight. Do you want to stay or..?"

Sofia smiled "no I'm ready to go home tonight, so please changes mine too."

Sara went for the phone and made the call, and then she got up went back to her room and started packing. Sofia went back to her room and did the same.

After the seminar ended, the women went back to the hotel to pick up their luggage; they said their goodbyes to Jean. After checking out they left for the airport. Sofia felt asleep in the plane and Sara was reading. After arriving in Vegas, they decided to share a cap, Sofia's home was the first stop after getting out of the cap she turned and looked at Sara.

"Well Sidle, it's been fun, I'll see you at work tomorrow!"

"Fun yes! About seeing you tomorrow, I hope not," Sara said with a very neutral face.

Sofia looked surprised, "huh?"

Sara started laughing, "Well, if I see you tomorrow, it means, someone have committed a crime, so therefore I hope not!"

Sofia shook her head grinning, "Later Sidle," she said before closing the door.

"Later Detective."

Fifteen minutes later, Sara jump out of the cap paid the driver, went up the stairs and lock herself in to her apartment. "Home sweet home," she said with a smirk!

After unpacking, Sofia went to the kitchen for a cold beer, she went back to the living room and sat down on the couch and turned on the TV, but her mind couldn't stop thinking about the last couple of days.

Sara… Sara… what am I suppose to do with you! I know, what I want to do, but I just can't! No matter how much I want it, -want you, I'm not going to. To hell with it all!

Sofia sighed throwing herself down on the couch.

But that kiss, didn't it tell me, all I need to know, hell I already knew before that, it only corroborated, what I have tried so hard to hide away! God damn it, I'm going insane here.

Sofia groaned. "Well hopefully my world will go back to normal, when I go back to work!" And with that she stood and went to bed.

After Sara was thru unpacking, she went for a shower. Still not feeling tied she thought about going to work, but assigned not to, knowing that Grissom most likely would send her home again. She went over and turned her computer on. She wrote a short mail to Brian, letting him know she got home alright, and that she missed him.

Then her thoughts went to Sofia. She still wasn't sure if it had been such a great idea to tell Sofia about her feelings for her, but it was the only way ever finding out if Sofia wanted the same thing.

"So I'll give her a month, to figure out what she wants!" Sara decided. She closed her computer, knowing she wouldn't get anything done and went to bed.

Tbc…
