Like China

 

Lyrics

 

 

 

Grissom absently stroked Sara’s slightly damp hair as a bright smile found its way to his mouth. Her fingertips caressed his side as she rested comfortably in his arms, her head on his chest.

 

Hearing her soft mumble against his skin, he looked down at her. “What?”

 

She chuckled softly and raised her head to gaze into his eyes. “I said…you have nothing to worry about.”

 

He narrowed his eyes in confusion and silently questioned her. She yawned as she pushed herself up and sat beside of him.

 

“Earlier…you said you were worried about being able to satisfy me.” She watched him as he registered her meaning, a blush forming on his cheeks. “I’m telling you, Griss…you have absolutely nothing to worry about.”

 

He chuckled in embarrassment and sat up, resting his back against the headboard of his bed. “It…uh…it had been awhile…for me.”

 

She snuggled into his side and yawned again. “How old were you?”

 

“Huh?”

 

She laughed lightly. “I guess it would help if I finished the question, wouldn’t it?”

 

He joined in with her laughter as he wrapped his arm around her. “That might help me, Sara…”

 

“When you lost your virginity…how old were you?”

 

She felt his body stiffen and then, just as quickly, begin to relax. She looked into his eyes and offered him a gentle smile. “I’m just curious…”

 

He nodded slowly and took a deep breath. “Nineteen…”

 

“Was she nice?”

 

His brow furrowed. “Yes. At the time.” He licked his lips and smiled back at her. “How old were you?”

 

“Me?”

 

He laughed as she began to blush. “Yes. You. How old were you?”

 

“Uh…seventeen…”

 

“You were still in high school?”

 

“No. It was the summer after I graduated high school.”

 

He bit his bottom lip nervously, unsure if he should continue the discussion. A wistful smile tugged at her lips as she remembered that warm summer night.

 

“His name was Jeff. We had dated all through high school. Our friends were convinced we’d get married…”

 

“What happened?” His question was softly spoken.

 

She sighed lightly as she turned to look at him. “We went to college. I was in Harvard, he went to UCLA.”

 

“Was he nice?”

 

She chuckled softly. “I wouldn’t have dated him for four years if he wasn’t. He was my first…everything. First crush, first date, first kiss, first love…”

 

“Lucky boy…”

 

She grinned as she felt his fingertips glide across her bare arm. “I think my parents were actually happy that he decided to stay in California…”

 

“Why do you say that?”

 

“They never really liked him.” Her grin faded into a smirk as the memories flooded her mind. “His goal was to be active in politics. My parents…Jeff. No, not a good mixture. But, they did respect that he treated me well…and that he loved me.”

 

“Tell me about that night…”

 

Her eyes snapped to his. “What makes you think it was night?”

 

He shrugged his shoulders as he kissed her temple. “Didn’t all high school sexual escapades take place at night?”

 

She chuckled, shaking her head slowly. “You really want to hear about that?”

 

“I wanted to hear about your induction into the mile-high club, didn’t I?”

 

“That was different. You were trying to distract me from grilling you on your knowledge of…”

 

“Sara…would I really do that?”

 

She laughed as she poked her finger into his chest. “You just did it again. I will get the truth out of you…one day…”

 

Grissom grinned and lifted her finger to press a kiss into the palm. “Tell me…”

 

“What’s to tell? The time was right for us that night and we decided to give each other the one gift that…”

 

Her voice trailed off as she saw his arched eyebrow.

 

“Okay…okay…”

 

He chuckled lightly and pushed her hair behind her ear. “Was it…romantic?”

 

She thought for a moment, inhaling deeply. “As romantic as it possibly could be for two awkward teenagers…”

 

“So, no back seat of the car experience?”

 

She smacked his chest playfully. “No! I’ll have you know that it happened at his house, when his parents were away for the weekend.”

 

“Really?” He winked at her as he licked his lips. “And?”

 

“You know, you’re getting far too much enjoyment out of this…”

 

His eyes twinkled as he looked at her. “Maybe, but keep going…”

 

“Let’s just say that it was an enjoyable experience…and that I wouldn’t change it if I could.”

 

“Sara…”

 

She grinned at him as he narrowed his eyes. “I’m not giving out details, Griss.”

 

He muttered incoherently under his breath and inhaled softly. “Was that the only time?”

 

She shook her head slowly. “No…but I had to leave a couple of weeks later.”

 

“And that was the end of Sara and Jeff?”

 

She shrugged her shoulders and tilted her head. “Not exactly. We tried to make it work for a while, but the distance between us was just too much. We both agreed to see other people.”

 

Grissom nodded in understanding and bent his head to place a tender kiss on her lips. “When was the last time you saw him?”

 

“Four years ago…at his wedding.”

 

“Oh…”

 

She smiled at his sudden loss of words. “It’s okay, you know. I was so happy for him. And Lynette is a wonderful woman. Besides…it’s not like our break-up was bitter. It was a mutual decision and we were able to remain very good friends…”

 

“I, for one, am very glad that you went to Harvard. Even though Jeff seems like he was a very decent young man.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

He sighed as he felt her lips caress his chest. “Yeah.”

 

Her hand slid down his body as she continued to pepper his torso with kisses. “Why’s that?”

 

His eyes closed as her warm hand encircled his quickly hardening flesh. “If you…hadn’t…you might not of…God, Sara…”

 

“Go on…” She smiled wickedly as she tightened her grip on his erection. “I might not of what?”

 

“Mm…gone to one of my…oh…one of my lectures…and…”

 

Hm. But, I did…” She heard his sharp gasp as she flicked her tongue against the glans.

 

“Yes…yes, you did. Sara…”

 

She smiled inwardly as she quickly engulfed him, relishing his loud moan.
