This is my very first fanfic ever so please review (nicely)
Sara Sidle smiled as she drove to work. She tucked a stray strand of her brown hair behind her ear and though about the past few weeks. She and Nick had been together for almost 2 months now. She wondered how she could have waited as long as she did.
It had been pure accident that they discovered each others feelings. She had been bent over a microscope and he had leaned in to scare her. She quickly turned at a noise he made and their lips met. The spark of passion had startled them both. After a big of embarrassment, they went out for drinks. The feelings were mutual and they had been quietly dating ever since. At the lab, only Catherine, Warrick and Grissom knew. They were all sworn to secrecy because Ecklie would no doubt find a way to make co- worker's dating unregulation.
She turned her blue Tahoe into the parking lot and parked in her usual spot. Coincidentally, Catherine was just stepping out of her own car and the two started to chat as they walked inside.
"So how was dinner? Did you like the restaurant?" Catherine inquired.
"How did you know?" Sara asked, truly puzzled. The relationship was known, but not every date.
"Nick asked about a place to take you for dinner. I recommended it highly" Catherine replied.
"It was great. How's Lindsey?"
"She's ok. She's with Eddie this weekend so I thought I'd go shopping. You up for the trip?" Catherine asked.
"With you? My credit card would melt from over-use. You are the biggest spender I've ever heard of!"
Catherine pushed open the doors and they blinked as their eyes adjusted to the dim light.
"You need a nice outfit for your 2 month anniversary! It's coming up soon. C'mon, spice things up a bit!!" Catherine reasoned.
"Fine!" Sara conceded, "But anything you would have worn in one of the clubs you worked in is out of the question!!"
Catherine merely smiled and raised an eyebrow.
"Whatever."
They stepped into the break room where Warrick was pouring coffee in mugs and Nick was sitting on one of the couches, reading a sports magazine. Catherine grabbed a mug of coffee and Sara sank into the couch beside Nick, taking his hand and smiling as he murmured "Hello Gorgeous" into her ear. Grissom entered with a stack of files in his hand and greeted the team.
"Warrick, you and me are on an OD with suspicious circs at the Mirage. Nick, Sara, Cath, assault/homicide in the suburbs. Apparent forced entry." Grissom gave the orders but Catherine questioned.
"Hey Gris, why three of us? Two could do it," she said, questioning him.
"Because both you and Nicky have paper work to do for an hour. Sara can begin processing and you can show up as soon as you're done. Alright, to work!" Grissom stood up and left the break room.
"I'll see you at the scene sweety," Sarah whispered to Nick as she got up and headed toward her tahoe. Catherine smiled at them.
"I think Grissom just assigned me to this case to make sure you guys do your job." Catherine joked.
"Awww Cath, you're not gonna make us actually work are you!!!" Nick said, feigning surprise.
Sara laughed and walked out, leaving them to their paperwork. Yes, she thought, this is how it's supposed to be.
