Well, this is my first attempt of a CSI fanfic. Please, don't be too hard on me! It's about a Christmas Party and karaoke. Mainly GSR (a bit Sara's pov), also yobling. AU, because Grissom and Sara aren't together yet, but Warrick's already married. Oh, yeah: I don't own anyone/anything. A CHRISTMAS CAROL Sara eyed her reflection in the mirror suspiciously. She just wasn’t that type of people who loved to go out. But Grissom had made them promise to show up on their internal Christmas Party. “And...” Sara thought “...maybe it would be even fun.” She hadn’t heard of the restaurant they were supposed to meet, so her boss had agreed to pick her up. A smile spread on her face as she glanced out of the window seeing Grissom approaching. It would take him a while to climb up the stairs to the fifth level, so she slowly adjusted her dress. It was red with golden embroidery and her lipstick matched its colour perfectly. She showed the parts of her body she was a bit proud of. Sara knew she didn’t have to hide her legs, so there was a slit which went up to the middle of the thighs. She put on a few drops of her favourite parfume and winked at herself in the mirror. As she had expected it took Grissom more than five minutes to reach her door. When he rang the bell, all Sara had to do was grab her coat and the purse and step outside. “Sara...you look absolutely stunning.” Grissom’s mouth fell slightly open and she grinned inwardly. “Nothing compared to my everyday clothes, huh?” she joked and closed the door behind her without taking her eyes from him. “Nope, definitely not.”, he returned and leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. “Glad you found time to join us.”, Grissom smiled and offered her an arm to lead her. Now it was Sara’s turn to be stunned. Had he just...? No, it must’ve been imagination...but the spot where he had touched her skin with his lips was still tingling. She followed his lead, unconsciously rubbing the spot on her cheek. He noticed, but remained silent and allowed himself a satisfied smile. “Where is this place, anyway?” Sara asked as Grissom started the engine. “It’s not far from my place. We’ll be there in less than twenty minutes.” She nodded and started looking out of the window – her favourite activity during being driven. “Still maintaining your old habit, then?”, he stated after a few minutes. Sara startled and turned her head to look at him quizzically. “Looking out of the window while I’m driving, although it’s dark outside.”, he explained. “Ah, well...yes. I love to see everything at night.”, she returned vaguely. He smiled at her. “It’s good that some things don’t change.” Immediately Sara froze in her seat. What the heck did he mean with this sentence? It went with so many situations...habits, places and even...relationships. As always Sara didn’t know what he was wanting to say. So she just sighed and shrugged hoping the rest of the drive would pass quickly.

They entered the restaurant arm in arm. Sara thought they must have looked like a couple, but it didn’t give her a bad feeling. The others were already there, sitting at a table in an extra room, chatting. Even Warrick and Catherine, who hadn’t seemed to come along lately, were laughing and beaming. “Woah, Sara. You really look hot.” Nick greeted her, standing up to kiss her on the cheeks. She smiled at them, extricating her arm from Grissom’s grip. The fact that he didn’t want to let her go made her grin even more broadly. Greg was next. He copied Nick’s behaviour. “You think we could share a dance tonight?”, he asked wiggling his eyebrows and ignoring a threatening look of his boss. “We’ll see.”, she returned cocky just to hear Grissom inhaling sharply. Warrick also got up to greet her, as did Catherine. The blonde woman was wearing a short black dress with laced stilettos. “Gosh, Catherine. What’s in your mind? Wanna break Warrick’s will?” she whispered into her co-workers ear and winked at her. “Today every second marriage ends in divorce.” Catherine retorted, smiling sheepishly.
Finally they all sat down. The waiter brought a cocktail for each of them and took their orders. They all were enjoying their time. Warrick and Catherine were flirting openly, while Grissom and Sara held themselves back. But they shared smiles, so that Greg and Nick shot each other irritated looks and rolled their eyes. “So, where’s Tina?”, Grissom asked when there was silence once, just to earn a nearly killing look from Sara, who was sitting opposite to him. “What?”, he mouthed back defensively. “Has to work.” was the short reply he got. Then there was silence again. Diner was excellent and afterwards they were chatting vividly again, exchanging news and ideas for presents. “Lindsay absolutely wants a nose piercing.”, Catherine moaned. “She’s only 15.” “I think it would look sexy.” Warrick said. Catherine cocked an eyebrow the way she always did. “She’s my daughter. She’s not supposed to be sexy.”, she shot back. “Unlikely, if she takes after you.”, Warrick returned and smiled his “didn’t-mean-it-smile”. Sara wasn’t sure but she thought she saw Catherine blush.
The Christmas Spirit was spread even more as some music started to play. When Sara looked around to find the source of it, she discovered a strange thing. It looked like a oversized computer with large speakers and two microphones. “Hey guys. Look, what I’ve found. A karaoke machine.” Her eyes were glittering when five faces spun around to watch her. “Fancy some songs?” “Yeah...let’s sing something.”, Catherine supported her eagerly. Greg was looking at her puzzled. “You want us to sind? Sure...so you’ve never been to my shower, then...”, he grinned. Nick nodded his head, as did Warrick. “I’m okay with it. As long as everyone’s singing.” Grissom was the only one who remained silent. “C’mon Grissom. Don’t be a kill-joy...”, Sara begged looking at him directly. He sighed. “If that’s what you all want...”, he didn’t put up a hard fight. While the others were starting the machine, picking a song, she leaned over the table to whisper in his ear. “I’m sure you’ll be rewarded for your courage...” When she pulled back she saw a hungry look in his eyes which vanished immediately. But it had been enough for her to tell how much he wanted her. “I don’t think I deserve your price.”, he returned a bit harsher than he had meant it. Sara’s face fell. She spun around quickly to join the others gathered around the machine. She could have cried. One moment he behaved as if all he wanted was her and the other one he ruined everything again.
“So, who’s beginning?”, she asked to distract herself. “We’ve just drawn by lot. Nick’s gonna start, then you, Grissom, me, Warrick and Greggo’s last one. Already picked a song? They’ve got everything...”, Catherine answered, eager to begin. Sara closed her eyes to feel inside of her and suddenly it struck her like a flash of lightning. Opening her eyes to let a single drop of tear flow she nodded her head. But Catherine had already turned around to announce the order of singing. “You know what you’ll perform?”, Greg shouted back to the table, where Grissom was still sitting. He only tiltet his head lightly. They took it as a “yes”

“C’mon, Nicky, rock us.”, Catherine growled and started clapping. The others followed her example. They all took their places again, when Nick put up his hands pacifying. “All right, all right. I’m going.” He pressed some buttons and then took the microphone. “Well, I, uhm, chose this song because I think it perfectly matches the spirit of the evening.”, he stated simply as the first tones of music started to play.
[Can you feel the love tonight?]
There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When Nick started to sing the song in his smooth manly voice, everyone fell silent and they looked at him in admiration.
When the heat of a rolling world can be turned away An enchanted moment, and it sees me through It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone if they only learn That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
At this line Sara nearly started to cry. To her surprise Grissom took her hand, which was lying in front of her on the table in his and started to strike her fingers softly. She closed her eyes.
And can you feel the love tonight It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best

When the last word was finished everyone broke into applause. Nick bowed a bit embarrassed and rushed back to his place. “Hey, Nicky.Wonderful.” “Didn’t know you could bewitch us with your voice.” “Fantastic, just fantastic.”, they were all talking mixed up. When they had calmed down Catherine called Sara to the microphone. “Ladies and gentleman, now you can admire Sara Sidle.” she announced her colleague playfully. Determined Sara stepped forward. She chose the song which perfectly fitted with her, well, love-life situation. And she knew that she didn’t sing that bad...so what did she have to lose?
[Poison]
Your cruel device Your blood like ice One look could kill My pain, your thrill
As soon as the music had started Sara had felt it flow inside her. She even moved a bit, expressing herself with her free arm. But one thing she always maintained was the eye-contact to Grissom. She knew this song by heart and he should really know he she felt.
I wanna love you, but I better not touch I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins You’re poison I don't wanna break these chains.
Your mouth so hot Your web, I'm caught Your skin, so wet Black lace, on sweat
I hear you calling and it's needles and pins I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison.
You're poison running through my veins, I don't wanna break these chains.
One look could kill my pain, your thrill
I wanna love you, but I better not touch I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison.
I don't wanna break these chains Poison Running deep inside my veins Running deep inside my veins Poison I don't wanna break these chains
{Shall I continue?}

When Sara had finished noone was clapping, but they were staring at her with their mouths wide open. “Well, I thought telling you was cheaper than a therapist.”, she tried to ease the tension that was now nearly visible in the room. She shook her head when noone responded, shrugged and returned to her seat. Finally, Nick woke from his rigour and started applauding. The others followed, except Grissom. He was looking at her dumbstruck. When he passed her on his way forward he whispered: “I didn’t know you were feeling like this...sorry.” Sara closed her eyes to stop tears from falling. What else could she do? It was hopeless. Now she had confessed her love to him in public and all he could say was sorry. Grissom had already taken position, the microphone in his hand. A soft melody started playing. Sara knew this song. It was one of her favourites. When she raised her gaze she noticed that he was looking directly at her. “I dedicate this song to a very special woman.”
[Only fools rush in]
Wise men say Only fools rush in But I can't help Falling in love with you
“His deep voice matches the song perfectly...” Sara thought fascinated.
Wise men say Only fools rush in But I can’t help Falling in love with you
Shall I stay Would it be a sin I can't help Falling in love with you
Like river flows Gently to the sea Darling so we go- Something's were meant to be
Take my hand Take my whole life too I can't help Falling in love with you
When Sara had finally understood the meanings of the words that were leaving his mouth, her heart started beating rapidly. Was he just saying that he was in love with her? He never broke their eye-contact. She smiled as he beamed at her. In his eyes and this song she could find all the truth he had never dared to say.
Like a river flows Gently to the sea Darling so we go- Something's were meant to be
Take my hand Take my whole life too I can't help Falling in love with you
Cos I can't help falling in love with you Cos I can't help falling in love with you Cos I can't help falling in love with you

As soon as the song was over, he put down the microphone and slowly walked over to the table. Sara had risen for standing ovations, but as he approached her, her knees felt as wobbly as if they would bend the next moment. She knew everyone was looking at them. What did they expect her to do? Smile, talk, run? But Grissom saved her from the misery by pulling her close into a deep kiss. Everything around her went black as she felt those perfect lips on hers. Instantly she made their kiss intenser clinging to him as if she would never let him go anymore. When she heard someone say “Finally, they made it.”, her surroundings returned to her focus and her eyes flew open. She looked at him confused, happy and aroused at the same time. Grissom beamed at her and let go. “I’m sorry I hurt you so much.”, he whispered into her ear. “It’s okay. You will have to make it up...”, she said cockily before they took their seats still holding hands. “Well, we thought you two’d never pair up.”, Nick sighed. “Greggo, you owe me twenty bucks.”, he added hushed. Catherine smiled at them happily. “Well, now that you two figured your relationship out, it’s my turn no-...” But someone interrupted her. “Why isn’t anybody singing a duet?”, Sara said, smiling at her idea. “Well...”, Catherine tried to figure out an answer, but Sara had already continued: “What about you and Warrick? Your voices just fit together perfectly.” “Oh, yeah.”, Greg supported her, getting the idea behind. Catherine shrugged. “You okay with it?”, she asked Warrick. He nodded. So they stepped up together to the machine. While they were debating about their choice, Sara couldn’t help but look at Grissom all of the time. She knew if wouldn’t be safe to ask him why...now. Maybe later he would be able to explain, but at the moment she was all too happy that he had finally bitten the bullet. He held her eye contact and smiled. Finally, they were interrupted by music.
[Dilemma]
Cath: I love you and I need you Warrick, I love you, I do Need you
Sara felt kind of dumbstruck, when Catherine actually changed the name from the song into Warrick’s. But he didn’t seem to mind, nor did anyone else. But then, it was no secret neither, that she wanted him...
No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
Catherine was walking around Warrick making eyes at him. He smiled and seemed to enjoy her moves.
No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo You know I'm crazy over you
Warrick: I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me And she got the hots for me, the finest thing I need to see But oh, no, no, she got a man and a daughter, oh-oh, but that's okay ‘Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my position Like a shortstop, pick up e'rything mami hittin' And in no time I better make this friend mine and that's for sure ‘Cause I-I never been the type to break up a happy home But there's something ‘bout baby girl, I just can't leave her ‘lone So tell me, ma, what's it gonna be She said, "You don't know what you mean to me," come on
Cath: No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo You know I'm crazy over you
Warrick: I see a lot in your look and I never say a word I know how n****s start actin' trippin' , and hate up all the girls And there's no way Warrick go for it Ain't no dame, as you could see But I-I like your steeze, your style, your whole demeanor
By now, Catherine was standing in front of Warrick, swinging her hips to the music. He didn’t hesitate and put his free hand on her belly to pull her close. Grissom frowned, but said nothing.
The way you come through and holler, and swoop me in his two-seater Now that's gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya, don't you forget it But it ain't that easy for you to back up and leave him But you and me we got ties for different reasons I respect that and right before I turned to leave She said, "You don't know what you mean to me," come on
Cath: No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo You know I'm crazy over you
Warrick: Sing it for me, C
Cath: I love you and I need you Warrick, I love you, I do And it's more than you'll ever know Boy, it's for sure You can always count on my love Forever more, yeah, yeah
Warrick: East coast, I know you're shakin' right Down south, I know you're bouncin' right West coast, I know you're walkin' right Midwest, I see you swingin' right
They were moving together. Catherine leant her head back to rest it on Warrick’s shoulder. She even closed her eyes when she sung the last verse. Either the two of them were putting up a great show or they, too, got swepped over by Christmas emotions.
Cath: No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do All I think about is you Even when I'm with my Boo You know I'm crazy over you

At her last line, Catherine had turned around to face Warrick. Now his hand was resting on her butt and, to her delight, he didn’t made any effort to move it away. When the song had ended, Warrick bent down to her and they kissed. Sara stared at them disbelieving – the other ones did so, too. Only Grissom frowned even harder. Their kiss deepened, Catherine had put her hands around his neck, while Warrick held her close with only one hand. They didn’t make any move to part – their kiss only got hotter. So, Grissom cleared his throat loudly causing them to jump apart. Again, noone was clapping. Catherine turned a very dark shade of red, when Greg decided to save the situation. “Hey, great show, you two!”, he said, hoping to sound admirely, and started to applaud. The others followed, except Grissom, who was looking at them sternly. But Sara squeezed his hand lightly, pleading with her eyes not to have a go at them. He understood and nodded shortly. Flustered, Catherine took her seat again, pulling Warrick with her. His face was full of lipstick, but he was smiling slightly. Before anyone could ask any awkward questions, Greg had stormed to the machine, only to announce seconds later: “This song is the last one...and it fits the spirit now. Ah...and why don’t you two hotties give me some backup?” He wiggled his eyebrows at Sara and Catherine. Eagerly they jumped up and listened to Greg’s explanations. Then they nodded and waited for the music to start.
[Hot in here]
Cath and Sara: Hot in..... So hot in herre..... So hot in.....
Sara got flustered as Catherine managed to nearly moan those words into the microphone.
Greg: I was like, good gracious ass bodacious Flirtatcious, tryin to show faces Lookin for the right time to shoot my steam (you know) Lookin for the right time to flash them G's Then um I'm leavin, please believin Me and the rest of my heathens Check it, got it locked at the top of the four seasons Penthouse, roof top, birds I feedin No deceivin, nothin up my sleeve, no teasin I need you to get up up on the dance floor Give that man what he askin for Cuz I feel like bustin loose and I feel like touchin you And cant nobody stop the juice so baby tell me whats the use
Cath and Sara: (I said) Its gettin hot in here (so hot) So take off all your clothes I am gettin so hot I wanna take my clothes off
They were both circling Greg trying to make him feel uncomfortable with her moves. Sara even dared to losen his tie. He only commented her action with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Catherine even took off his jacket.
Greg: Why you at the bar if you aint poppin the bottles What good is all the fame if you aint fuckin the models I see you drivin, sportscar, aint hittin the throttle And I be down, and do a hundred, top down and goggles Get off the freeway, exit 106 and parked it Ash tray, flip gate, time to spark it Gucci collar for dollar, got out and walked it I spit game cuz baby I cant talk it Warm, sweatin its hot up in this joint VOKAL tanktop, all on at this point Your with a winner so baby you cant loose I got secrets cant leave Cancun So take it off like your home alone You know dance in front your mirror while your on the phone Checkin your reflection and tellin your best friend, like "girl I think my butt gettin big"
Catherine had been working on his shirt during his verse. Now she finally opened the last button and let it slip down his body. Sara had to admit, that he didn’t look bad. His upper arms were very muscular, as was the upper part of his body in general. She could also make out six-pack and stroke it admiringly.
Cath and Sara: (I said) Its gettin hot in here (so hot) So take off all your clothes I am gettin so hot I wanna take my clothes off
Greg: Stop placin, time wastin I gotta a friend with a bone in the basement (What?) I'm just kiddin like Jason (Oh) Unless you gon' do it Extra, extra eh, spread the news Greggo took a trip from the Luna to Neptunes Came back with somethin thicker than fittin in sasoons Say she like to think about cuttin in restrooms
Cath and Sara: (I said) Its gettin hot in here (so hot) So take off all your clothes I am gettin so hot I wanna take my clothes off
Now they were dancing around him, Catherine doing some acrobatic moves she had surely learned during her career as a dancer. Even Sara started to losen herself. She was swinging her hips. Noticing the hungry looks of Warrick and Grissom only made her raise her efforts.
(Greggo hang all out) Mix a little bit of ah, ah With a little bit of ah, ah (Greggo just fall out) Give a little bit of ah, ah With a little bit of ah, ah (Greggo hang all out) With a little bit of ah, ah And a sprinkle of that ah, ah (Greggo just fall out) I like it when ya ah, ah Girl, Baby make it ah, ah
They ended their song with Catherine having one of her legs wrapped around his hip and Sara standing behind him grabbing his chest. She thought she had seen a flash of jealousy in Grissom’s eyes, which aroused her even more. After the applaus had faded away, they went to the table again. Sara and Catherine gulped down a glass of water, while Greg was fumbling with his clothes. “Well...”, Grissom rose to speak. “...I think this is the perfect time to leave. You should stop at your best, shouldn’t you?” He winked. “It’s been a very nice evening – night actually.”, he corrected himself after a glance at his watch. “Let’s head home. Merry Christmas, everyone.” “Merry Christmas.”, the others responded together, smiling and enjoying the very moment. Grissom got Sara’s coat and led her to the car. “Shall I bring you home?”, he asked her when he opened the door for her. “Nope, you gotta keep your promise.”, Sara retorted. When he looked at her quizzically, she added: “Making it up to me for all you did to me.” His face fell into a smile. “I strongly hope you’re not tired yet.”, he said in a deep voice and pulled her closer. Her eyes were glittering, when she leant in for a kiss. When their lips parted, they could see Warrick and Catherine walking away. Grissom frowned again, but then shook off all thoughts about those two. This night was about Sara and him – and noone else.

yeah, well, I did this all by myself and first I only had the piece about Sara, then Grissom's song (I absolutely wanted to make it about the two of them...) and then when I wrote I somehow came up with the rest of it... it's difficult to say, but once I've started, it's flowing ;D and sometimes my brain surprises me with rather good ideas...then it's my turn to bring them down to paper...
