Chapter 1: Knocks on her door

Sitting and waiting was never easy; but, that seemed to be the main thing Sara done. The world was moving around her but, she wasn't. Everything had just stopped. She was sitting alone in here apartment listening to her iPod loudly.

She would have listened to it from her CD player but, neighbors were always complaining about it being to loud. Sara barely noticed the door being knocked on. She turned her iPod down so it was only a humming sound in the background. Sara went over to the door and she was very surprised.

"Sara?" The man asked.

"Yeah who else?" She smiled.

"I heard what happened at the lab."

"Oh," he smile faded to a frown.

"Can I come in?"

"Uh... yeah I guess." She was very surprised Grissom wanted to come into her apartment.

"Thanks." Grissom walked in after Sara. She looked around nothing seemed to be weird, nothing to scare him away. Right? She sighed.

"Something wrong Sara?"

She looked up at him; he seemed concerned about her. She hoped it didn't look like she had been crying or anything because, she hadn’t.

"Uh huh ye...yeah there's nothing wrong w...with m...me."

She slapped her forehead. 'Damn it not again!' She didn't know the reason but, she had been stuttering around him lately; she didn't understand.

"Uh okay I guess. Are you aware that you stutter around me?" He asked.

She looked down her feet; she did not really want to talk about that.

"Do I?" She decided to play dumb and pretend not to hear it.

"Yeah lately you have I never noticed it before. But, you’re sure your okay?"

"Yep I'm totally f...fine." She couldn't look at him; she knew his stare would pierce right through her.

"Sara look at me." But, she wouldn't do it. He asked again in a soft, firm tone. "Sara look up at me."

She looked up this time, "What?"
"Have I ever told you your beautiful?" He smiled and started to laugh.

"No you never have," I smiled. "Thanks."

"Well you are very beautiful."

She was confused. Why was he being compassionate? He had said anything nice about her appearance before. Sara figured the reason he had came over was to yell at her for mouthing off Catherine. But no he was standing in front of her staring at her with a smile on his face. "Again thank you. Can I get you anything?"

He smiled, "Yes you can...you Sara. I want you." He blushed.
