Chapter 6-What's Wrong with that?
30 minutes later and Sara decided to leave. As much as she loved seeing her friends happy, they all had a significant other by their side and with her being single it made her feel out of place and a fifth wheel or in this case a seventh wheel so she said a Happy birthday to Catherine and said bye to everybody, than walked out of the club.
As she was standing outside, she realized she had gotten a ride from Greg.
She was going to go back inside and ask for a ride but changed her mind, she didn't want them to stop their fun just because of her, so she decided to get a cab but since she didn't feel like going home yet she thought she would take a walk since there was a little daylight.
She started walking and that's when she let her thoughts roam, they first turned to her friends and she smiles thinking of them they were some of the best and she wouldn't trade them for anything.
She thought of going to Harvard in September and knew it was going to be hard breaking apart form this little group but it was something that had to be done and it wasn't like they would never see each other again, or so she hoped.
Then just thinking about school got her thinking about after winter break her life changing so drastically and with thinking down that road her thoughts turned to her favorite teacher and she smiled bigger, just thinking of when she first looked at those blue eyes she remembers how speechless she was for a second and sometimes he can make still make her speechless, she loves everything about him, the smile, the little smirk, the eyebrow raise that she got to see sometimes, his walk and his calming voice.
She was so into her thoughts that she bumped into somebody. When she regained her footing, her eyes came face to face with those beautiful blue eyes, the same blue eyes she knew by heart now, and heard his calming voice. "Sara are you ok?"
Sara shook her head and looked around. She realized she walked two blocks without realizing it. Then she thought. 'wow, he can consume my thoughts even when he isn't around.' She looks back at Grissom and he was holding a grocery bag,
she said. "yeah, I was just taking a walk."
He raised an eyebrow and asked "you don't have a car?" After he said that they both felt a little rain drop but ignored it for the time being.
Sara replied back. "well yes, but not tonight, I was out with my friends and I got a ride from Greg and I didn't want to ruin their fun so I decided to take a walk before I got a cab."
Grissom nodded and said. "How about I take you home? it's getting late."
She could read between the lines he didn't want her to take a cab in Vegas at night-time, she smiles and thinks. 'aww he's concerned about me.' she nods and says. "are you sure?"
He nods back, both feeling a little more rain then replied. "Yeah but I have to stop my place I just got some ice cream and I don't want it to melt and make a mess."
She nods and as they started to walk it started to rain heavier, so they started to run and even though he was getting poured on he was a gentlemen, he opened the door for her and when she was in he shut it then went to the driver's side, side put the bag in the back seat, shut the door, got in the driver's seat and when he shut the door he looked at Sara and said. "well that came out of nowhere."
Sara nodded with a small chuckle, looked at him and said. "I know and thank god you were there or else I would be trying to get a cab in the rain, so thank you."
Grissom nodded and started the car and got them out of the parking lot and on the road heading to his place.
The ride was silent but it wasn't uncomfortable, they both thought that if this happened two months ago it could have been but now it wasn't, it felt right but neither one wanted to mention that.
Five minutes later he pulls into the driveway of his two bedroom rented house it wasn't very big but why have a big house when it was just him.
He stops the car and turns it off, he pulls the keys out of the ignition and said. "I'll unlock the front door first and then you come in ok?"
It was still raining and since he didn't have a cover over his front door, he was trying to make it so she didn't get wet more then necessary. Sara nodded, smiled and thought. 'again so sweet.' he opens the door then shuts it, grabbed the bag that he sat on the back seat and after he shut that door, he ran to his house and unlocked the front door.
When he stepped in Sara got out of the car and after shutting the door, she ran to the house and right inside, when she was safety in he shut the front door and said. "I'll get you something so you can dry, ok?"
"That would be nice, thank you." Grissom nodded, puts the wet sack on the counter and told her he would be right back. She looks around at his butterfly displays and smiles.
A few minutes later, after he had changed into jeans and a t-shirt, he came out with an old pair of gray sweatpants and a blue UCLA sweatshirt. He handed them to her and said. "you may have to roll up the sleeves on the sweatshirt and I don't know how the sweatpants will be but they are the smallest and oldest pair I have."
Sara nodded and grabbed the clothes and after he told her she could use the bathroom that was attached to his bedroom she left the living room.
While she was getting dressed he put up his groceries.
Once that was done, he goes back to his living room and sat down on the couch to think on what he just did. He shouldn't have done this, he should have just taken her home and cleaned up the ice cream mess later, least that will be an easier mess to clean up then the one he just put himself in.
All of his thoughts were interrupted with Sara's voice. "can I put these in the dryer?" Grissom looks back at her and couldn't help but smile, the sweatshirt was very big for her and she did in-fact had to roll up the sleeves and the pants were a little big too but with Sara's touch she made them fit and she still looked cute, he shook his head and got up from the couch, takes the clothes from her and said. "sure no problem, you can sit down if you want."
Sara smiles at him and goes to his couch while he puts the clothes in the dryer.
When he got back to the living room he said. "Do you want anything to drink?"
She turns her head to look at him and asked. "Do you have water?" He nodded, goes and gets two bottles of water from the refrigerator, comes back into the living room and handed her one of them then sits down.
After they took their first drink Sara closes bottle and puts it on the coffee table, then gets comfortable on the couch and says. "well you can't really take me home with me wearing your clothes so how about we talk?"
Grissom just closed his water and puts his drink on the end table and gets comfortable on the other side of couch, nodded his head, She did have a point so he said. "What do you want to talk about?"
"well how about let's start simple how was your spring break?"
That seemed to break the ice and he told her that he went to his hometown in California to visit his mother and didn't get back until earlier today that's why he went to the store.
He asked how her spring break was and she told him she did a lot of studying which that was nothing new, then she told him about Catherine's birthday party and talked about how Catherine was good for Nick.
Then she started talking about her other friends, And since he already knew that Greg was her foster brother she got to refer to him as that and not only as her best friend. Then she told him why she left the club.
After a few minutes their subject changed to his childhood and she listened to everything even when he talked about collecting bugs and dissected dead animals for autopsy's. He talked about his dad and told her that he taught him about botany and that he died when he was nine. She told him how sorry she was and he said thanks and then right when he was about to talk a little of his college days he heard the dryer stop, he cleared his throat and said. "I'll get your clothes so I can take you home."
He starts to stand up but felt a warm spark shot through him, he looked down at her hand touching his and her voice spoke through the fog his brain was currently in. "why can't I stay longer?"
He finally looks from their hands to her brown eyes and after a few more seconds with their hands still touching, she removes it and puts it in her lap, it still feeling the shock herself.
He sits back down on his side of the couch, looks back at her and she was looking down but he still replied. "you know why Sara, I shouldn't have even brought you here."
She looks up at him and commented "Why? we aren't doing anything wrong we're just talking."
He sighs and replied. "We may see it that way but what about if my boss, your principle finds out or the school board I am not worried about me, but if they find out that you're here you could…."
She stops his rambling. "Are you planning on having them over here for a drink?" She smirks, she knew he was a private person and didn't like a lot of people in his place,
When he saw that smirk he couldn't help but give her a small smile and said. "well no but…"
Again she cuts him off. "Then how will they find out it's just you and me talking, what is wrong with that?"
AN: I know I leave you hanging sorry. Next Chapter should be longer. So is Grissom going to continue this bonding secession? or Step away from it? Review and find out please! I will update soon!
