Chapter 1: Dear, Dear Diary:
-Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets.
Cuz you're the only one, that I know who'll keep them.-
Sara slipped out of his bed, padding through the bedroom's soft carpet, sheet draped around her into the cold tile bathroom. As she dressed, she was mentally kicking herself and celebrating at the same time. She realized how long it'd really been. But of course nothing was as easy as sex. This one night could have destroyed her whole career. Along with her lovers.
She tied her shoes and snuck out of his small townhouse through the front door, but not before catching a glimpse at the beautiful man as he slept. She wanted to kiss his forehead so bad she ached but she didn't want to wake him. She went outside to her black Tahoe, got in, and drove away as quietly as possible trying to remain unnoticed.
She arrived to her quiet, small apartment at an ungodly hour of six AM. It was Sunday so the last thing she wanted to do was wake someone in her building and get asked a ton of questions as to where she was. She slipped into some PJs and got into bed. She picked up her diary from its drawer along with her pen, and began to write.
"What was I thinking, sleeping with him? The one time I really let my emotions get the better of me. Get the better of us. Our escapades may have cost both of us our careers if this gets out. He spent his whole life building up his career and despite our emotionally turbulant past he's managed to keep me out of his bed. Except for last night. What a night."
Sara closed her diary and set it back in the drawer. She leaned back in the plush pillows and tried to sleep.
Hours later she growls in frustration. "Yea so much for sleeping Sidle." she scorned herself outloud, grumbling to herself..
This is the first and last time you sleep with a co-worker. No more. One time is bad enough. If this gets out you're toast. Both of you. She sighed, trying to reason with herself. She'd been in love with him for a long time. Years of her life she spent pining after a man she wasn't sure she'd ever have. Now that she did, part of her wished she could take it back. She knew the consequences would be bad if they were discovered.
Sarah pulled into the crime lab parking lot a bit faster than she should have, tires squaking on the fresh blacktop. She was running late.
She'd caught her nap but unfortunatly it was a bit too late. Her nap had caused her to not wake up at the low drone of her crappy alarm.
As she parked, gathering her things quickly trying not to drop her coffee. She jogged to the door and opened it juggling her back pack, coffee, and lunch bag. She rushed to her locker, quickly dropped her stuff off and walks into the breakroom where the others were.
They all look up and Grissom stops mid sentance. He looked over at her from his stack of papers. "Miss Sidle, you're late."
Sara took a long drink of her coffee."Yea about that. Sorry, didn't get much sleep."
Yea me either. He thought with a mental smirk. Gris nodded and went back to handing out assignments trying not to have flashbacks.
"Nick and Warrick, you two can take that Jane Doe down at UNLV. Brass and Sofia are waiting." He handed them their papers. He looked over at Greg. "You go with the boys. You may learn something."
After the boys left her glanced over at Sara and Catherine. "As for you two ladies, you can take the John Doe bathroom scene down at the Tangiers." He watched them all shuffle out of the room and then had a free moment to smile to himself.
He watched her go for a second, then kept going in the direction he was originally headed.
After assignments were handed out Catherine caught Sara in the hallway, "Withdrawl finally got to you huh?"
Sara looked up from her papers, "I'm not sure I know what you mean."
Catherine smiled, "Are you kidding? It's written all over your face! Your glowing. You got some."
Sara looked over pretending to be oblivious. "I don't know what you mean Cath. I had one dinner date that was all."
Catherine smile, "Yea sure. I believe you. Not." Then she dissappeared into her office.
Sara smiled to herself and headed back out to the parking lot after slipping her hat and vest on.
Several hours later the teams came back to the lab to hand in their evidence to the correct departments.
Sara was on her way to drop off some stuff for Hodges in trace, when she ran into Grissom, who was going the other way. "Oh, sorry." She apologized, moving out of the way.
He looked at her eyes sparkling. "We always seem to be bumping into eachother."
Before Sara could stop herself she replied, "In more ways than one." She quickly changed the subject after she realized she was outwardly flirting in full view of the whole lab. "I've gotta get this stuff to Hodges. We found what we believe to be key evidence in this case but we're not sure what it is."
Gris raised his eyebrow turning his head slightly to the right, eyes still locked on hers. "It's important, yet you don't know how?"
Sara nodded and escaped as quickly as possible.
