Good Luck Charm 1/?
“Mom, can you put the soda in the middle so I can have some?” Lindsey asked.
“Well, stop hogging all the popcorn, and I might think about it,” Catherine said reaching for the tub.
“That’s not a fair trade. I’m hungry,” Lindsey whined pulling the bucket of popcorn further away from her mother.
“I’ll tell you what isn’t fair. I let my daughter take the day off of school, take her to breakfast, buy her some new clothes and take her to a movie, and I can’t even get a little popcorn,” she said tickling Lindsey’s side.
“Mom………..stop…………okay………Mom!” she tried between giggles.
“Well, are you gonna share?”
“Yes, Mom. Here,” she said catching her breath.
Catherine reached into the bucket and grabbed a handful of popcorn. She happily munched away and then kissed Lindsey on the cheek.
“I’ve had fun today, Mom. Thanks for letting me stay home.”
“I’ve had fun too, Linds. Besides, it was a half day at school anyway.”
“Do you think that’s the reason we’re the only two people in the theater?”
“Probably Linds. But, that just means we get the whole back row to ourselves,” she said reaching for more popcorn
Just then, the door to the theater opened and a little red headed girl about Lindsey’s age ran into the theater.
“Candace Owens, you get back up here right this second!,” a voice by the door said.
Catherine and Lindsey watched as the little girl slowly walked with her head down, back up the stairs to the door.
“Sweetheart, what have I told you about staying next to me? I don’t want something bad to happen to you,” the female voice said softly but sternly.
Catherine thought that she recognized the voice. She turned to try and see the woman, but was met by part of the wall blocking her view around the corner.
“I’m sorry, Sara,” the little voice replied.
“Sara?” Catherine said, barely above a whisper.
No it couldn’t be Sara. Sara doesn’t have a child.
“It’s okay honey, I’m not mad at you. Just stay next to me from now on okay?”
“Okay, I love you Sara-Bear”
“I love you too Panda-Canda. Now come on, lets go find a seat!”
“Can we sit in the middle?”
“Wherever you want honey.”
At that moment, the lights dimmed and the previews started. Catherine watched as the woman walked with the little girl, hand in hand, down the steps of the theater. The twosome grabbed a row smack dab in the middle of the theater.
Catherine leaned forward in her seat trying to get a better look at the woman. She sounded so much like Sara, and she was the right build. Then an idea occurred to her. She pulled out her cell phone and began typing a message. She hit send and waited.
A few minutes later, the woman in front of her pulled a phone from her purse and checked a message. The woman looked like she was typing a response and then Catherine saw her put her phone back in her purse. A moment later Catherine’s phone vibrated alerting her she had a text.
“I’m in a movie. Talk to ya later --Sara”
It was Sara! But who was the little girl? Sara always said that she wasn’t good with children, but Catherine knew better. Whenever Lindsey was around, Sara treated her daughter like she was the only person in the world at that moment. Catherine put her phone away and relaxed back in her seat, content on watching Sara rather than the movie.
Sara placed her soda off to the side and offered the little girl some popcorn. She whispered something in Sara’s ear and as Sara giggled, she placed a kiss on the little girl’s cheek. She moved the arm rest up that was between them, and the girl scooted closer to Sara, as she put her arm around the little one’s shoulders.
Catherine smiled as she watched Sara interact with the girl. It had been a few months now since Catherine realized that her feelings for Sara went from that of friendship, to something more. They would work cases together, socialized outside of work on several occasions, and she would even come over just to hang out with Lindsey. The more time Catherine spent with Sara, the more her feelings for the younger CSI grew.
Catherine wasn’t afraid to be in a relationship with Sara, but she wasn’t going to make a fool out of herself asking a straight woman on a date, especially, a co-worker. So, much like in the theater today, she sat back and watched Sara from a distance.
Throughout the movie, Catherine saw Sara place and occasional kiss on the top of the girls head. Catherine would giggle slightly as the little girl always patted her head to make sure her hair wasn’t messed up. She glanced over at Lindsey, who was totally engrossed in the movie and placed a kiss on her head.
“What was that for?” Lindsey whispered.
“Nothing, I just love you Lindsey.”
“I love you too Mommy,” Lindsey said turning back to the movie.
About 30 minutes later, the credits began to roll and the lights in the theater came up.
“That was the best movie ever Mom!” Lindsey smiled.
“You say that about every movie honey,” Catherine replied, grabbing their stuff.
“Mom, isn’t that Sara?”
“Um………I don’t know sweetheart.”
“HEY SARA?!!” Lindsey yelled.
“Lindsey! Where are your manners? You don’t yell in a theater!”
Sara turned around at the sound of her name and waved at the two in the back row.
“Mom, incase you didn’t notice, we are the only four people in here,” she stated before running down the aisle to Sara.
Catherine grabbed her purse and made her way down to her daughter. Lindsey was releasing Sara from a hug when Catherine made it down to them.
“How ya doing Lindsey?”
“Mom, let me stay home today and we went to breakfast, and shopping and……well….. a movie…..duh,” she said throwing her hands in the air.
“I’m sorry Sara, I told her not to yell,” Catherine said resting her hands on Lindsey’s shoulders.
“It’s okay Catherine. Besides, there is no one else in here but us!”
“That’s what I said!” Lindsey replied triumphantly.
“Well, great minds think alike,” Sara added winking at Lindsey.
“Ewwwwwwww!” came a voice from behind Sara.
“What is it honey?” Sara asked.
“I reached under the seat to get your purse………and……….and…….I brushed my arm on the seat and I touched something gooey!”
“Oh, Candace, honey come on. We gotta get you cleaned up.”
“Mommy, I have to go to the bathroom,” Lindsey added.
“Tell ya what Catherine,” Sara said placing her hand on Catherine’s arm, “I’ll take the girls to the restroom, if you can grab our stuff.”
Catherine stilled when Sara touched her arm. Her hand was so soft and gentle, it sent shivers down her spine.
“What?……….um….yeah…..okay…….I’ll meet you guys in the lobby,” Catherine stuttered.
Sara gave Catherine’s arms a slight squeeze, “Thanks Cath,” she said taking the girls to the restroom.
Catherine watched until Sara and the girls left the theater and then collapsed in a seat. A simple touch from Sara made her fumble words and act like a teenager. She sighed at her love sick self, as she picked up Sara and Candace’s stuff.
She walked out of the theater and made her way to the lobby . She couldn’t contain her smile when she saw Sara holding Candace’s and her daughter’s hand, as they swung around in a circle. When Lindsey noticed Catherine walking towards them, she ran over to her Mom.
“Mom guess what? Guess what?”
“What honey?”
“Candace invited me to go get ice cream with her and Sara. Can I go?”
“Well, honey, you know you can’t go out with strangers.”
“Candace isn’t a stranger!”
“She is to me,” Catherine said eying Sara.
“Oh, Catherine, I’m sorry,” she said moving Candace in front of her, “Catherine this is Candace. Candace this is my friend Catherine. She works with me.”
“Very nice to meet you Miss Catherine,” she said extending her hand.
“You too Candace,” Catherine smiled shaking her hand.
“Candace is my ex’s daughter. They are in town for a conference, so I just had to spend time with my Panda-Canda,” Sara finished scuffing Candace’s hair.
“Whatever Sara-Bear!” Candace said getting a little embarrassed.
“Okay Mom, now you know her. Can I go?” Lindsey begged.
“I guess so,” Catherine said.
“Now, wait a minute Lindsey. We invited you and your mom,” Sara added.
“Does she have to come?”
“Lindsey!” Catherine said in shock.
“I’m just kidding Mom!” she said taking Candace’s hand and skipped towards the exit of the theater.
“Well, don’t I feel loved,” Catherine muttered walking with her hands on her hips.
Sara looped her arm through Catherine’s, linking them as they walked, following the girls outside the theater.
“Oh, believe me Catherine. You’re loved,” she smiled at the blonde.
Catherine’s head snapped to the side as she met Sara’s eyes. Catherine saw something that almost looked like desire reflected in Sara’s brown pools.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Catherine asked playfully
“That’s for me to know and you to never find out,” Sara replied
“If I didn’t know any better Sara, I’d say you were flirting with me,” Catherine teased, gently bumping her hips against Sara,” Oh, wait, let me guess your next line, ‘In my dreams’ right?” she smiled.
Sara leaned into Catherine and whispered “Sometimes dreams can come true.”
