AN: Thank you to my faithful reviewers, you brighten my day and give me inspiration to continue. Now on with the chapter.
At 8 o'clock in the morning Sara's cell phone started ringing. She opened her eyes at the sound of it and when she became fully conscious she realized Grissom's arms were around her and she knew she had the best sleep in her life.
She lefts her head up and looked at him, he had his head to the side facing the cushions, he looked so peaceful. She could look at him all day like this but as she thought that she would love to see those blue eyes, now those she could look at all day.
She smiles and just as she was going to put her head back down on his chest she heard him. "Are you going to get your phone?"
She lefts her head up again and he was looking at her with his eyes open now with a small smile she smiled back and said. "do I have to?"
As much as Grissom wanted to shake his head no and stay in this position forever he knew they couldn't. This time he went against his heart, nodded and said. "I think you should. Whoever is calling is probably wondering were you are."
She nods, sighs then says. "your right." He nodded again, they stare at each other soaking up the this feeling for just a minute longer they knew the moment Sara gets up their little world won't be just theirs anymore and they have to go back to the way it was.
She sighs again, he releases the hold he has on her, then they moved and she got up, got her purse that was on the end table, took out her phone as it started to ring again.
She watches Grissom get up and head in the direction of his room, then she looks down at her phone, then answers it, puts it to her ear and said. "yes Greg?"
Greg sighs in relief and said. "were the hell are you? do you know how many times I called you? when the phone rings you answer it."
Sara rolled her eyes and said. "I know what to do if my phone rings thank you very much and as you can tell I am alright, thanks for calling Greg I will see you later." She was kind of irritated that he ruined her lovely moment.
She was going to hang up but Greg's voice stopped her. "that's not all your going to tell me, you know I had to cover for you."
"I appreciate you covering for me and I promise that you won't have to do it again, but you shouldn't get mad at me because I always have to cover for you."
Greg sighed and said. "I am not mad Sara I was just worried, I had forgotten that I am the one that took you to the club yesterday and when I remembered I checked your room and you weren't there I thought something had happened to you."
Sara smiles a little she couldn't help it he can be a sweet younger brother sometimes. Then she speaks with a different tone of voice. "well like I said I am fine, you don't have to worry anymore."
"ok, so where did you stay last night?"
Sara saw Grissom come back in the living room and she gets back to the conversation with Greg. "I'll talk to you later, bye Greg."
"But S…." He was cut off when Sara hung up the phone and puts it back in her purse.
She sets her purse back on the end table Grissom asked. "So that was Greg?"
Sara nodded and said. "yes." Not really wanting to talk about him, she changed the subject after sitting down on the couch. "Thanks for last night, I haven't had any nightmares since I moved in with the Sanders."
He sits down on his side of the couch and said. "you're welcome. If I dreaded up any of those memories I am sorry."
She shook her head, looks at him and said. "I don't blame you, I guess it was just one of those nights, were it came." Then she thinks. 'I didn't regret the end result though.' she mentally smiled but her thoughts were interrupted.
"I am glad that it wasn't my fault." They smile at each other and he said. "Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me."
"You're welcome and it was the least I could do since you told me about you." She sighed and continued. "Besides a select few, you are the only person who knows the whole truth, my friends think that both my parents died in some kind of accident."
Grissom nodded in understanding and said. "well then your secret is safe with me."
She gives him a small smile and nod. After a few minutes she cleared her throat and said. "I better get changed so you can take me home."
He nods and replied. "right."
They didn't want to get up, they wanted to stay in his house and shut out the world but they knew they couldn't do that so she gets up grabs her clothes from the coffee table, and shoes from the floor and walked to the direction of the bathroom.
When she came back into the living room, minutes later, Grissom already had his shoes on and standing by the door.
She grabs her purse, walks to the front door and by then Grissom had opened it so she stepped out on the front porch. He shuts and locks the door and as they were walking to his car, she said. "Thanks for lending me the clothes."
"No problem."
They get to the vehicle and he opens the door for her and once she was in he gets to the driver's side, once he shut the door he started the vehicle and headed to her place when she told him were to go and that was the only talking being done, both comfortable with no other words.
When they get to her driveway, he stops the car they look at each other one more time they both knew that after last night they were emotionally connected and nothing was going to change that but they also knew that nothing more could happen between them now. And they were telling each other that silently, finally she looked away and said. "I will see you tomorrow at school?"
He nodded and looked away from her and said. "yeah see you tomorrow."
She looks at him and said her final words to him. "Thank you Grissom."
He looks at back her and said. "you're welcome Sara."
They give each other one more small smile then she gets out of the vehicle and without looking back, knowing that if she looked, she would want to stay with him. She walked right into the house.
When the front door shuts Grissom sighs and pulls out of the drive way, he will remember last night for the rest of his life.
The moment Sara shut the door she heard Greg. "Sara is that you?"
"yes Greg it's me."
As she was walking to her room Greg meets her in the middle of the hallway and crosses his arms over his chest and said. "well now are you going to tell me were you were."
Sara shook her head and said. "no because the last time I checked you weren't my father." She walks past him and into her room.
He turns and follows her and asked. "you were with him weren't you?"
She sits on her bed and said. "him who?"
Greg sighs and said. "you know who I am talking about."
Sara shook her head and said. "no Greg I wasn't with Travis."
Greg throws up his hands and sat down on her bed next to her and said. "that's not who I am talking about and you know it."
Sara sighed again and said. "why do you want to know? Nick told me that you weren't going to be all protective brother on me you were going to just let me be happy."
He puts a hand on her hand and said. "I am all for you being happy don't get me wrong but Mr. Grissom is still our teacher and if the school board and the principle finds out then it could be trouble and I just don't want you to get hurt."
She smiles and puts her free hand on his and said. "Greg I know that your worried but you don't need to be, nothing happened and as long as he is our teacher nothing ever will because I know he won't cross that line and I won't either, I may be falling for him but I can control myself you know."
"I know."
"Good." She smiled again, pushed his shoulder a little and said. "now get out so I can study."
He smiles, nods, then he takes his hand off of hers, stands up and looks down at her and said. "so nothing happened?"
She looks up at him and makes a joke. "oh you know us, we were going at like crazy animals then when we got tired of doing that we invited the school board and principle Robbins to come over and played strip poker till dawn." She smirked again.
He shook his head and said. "ha ha very funny." Then he got Serous again. "just be careful alright?"
Sara nodded and said. "I will Greg, I take your concern to heart and you are the sweetest little brother anybody could ever hope for but like I keep telling you, you don't have to worry we are all under control."
He nods smiles and says. "ok, have fun studying."
She smiles and nods, he rolls his eyes, he could never understand what it was with Sara and studying, he then walks out of her room and shuts the door.
When the door was shut she lost her smile and sighed she may have her body in control but her heart wasn't, her heart was his now and it will probably always be, she shook her head, got off the bed and put her mind to school work, and tried not to think of the man who knows all her secrets now and held her heart in the palm of his hand.
