A scream erupted from Gil's office in the CSI building in Las Vergas.

Everyone stared in shock, and Gil ran towards his office, he recognised her scream, it was Catherine Willows.

The others followed, all with their guns cocked.

Gil arrived first to find a hysterical Catherine Willows standing on his desk and a tarantula in the middle of the floor.

He laughed, "That made you scream?"

Catherine scowled at him, "Gil Grissom, Don't you dare laugh at me! Help me!"

The rest of the team came in and looked confused, "What's wrong?" Nick asked.

Gil shook his head, "Nothing, get back to work"

They left and Gil shut the door and put the spider away before moving to Catherine and putting his hands gently on here waist, and lifted her down.

"My hero", she said smiling.

He smirked with his hands still on her waist, "You know, the hero usually gets a kiss"

She smiled sadly, and shook her head before looking down, "I can't do that Gil, I'm sorry"

Gil looked hurt, but covered it quickly, "Why not?"

She pulled back to sit down with her head in her hands and her strawberry blonde locks covering her face, "Because I would want more than a kiss, and I know you don't feel the same way, so it would just make it hurt more"

He looked worried when she said the word 'hurt', "And how do you feel?"

She shook her head, "Like you don't already know, Ive felt this way for 25 years now Gil"

Gil sat down beside her, "Terll me, maybe I feel the same way", he said as he took her hand in his.

Cath held his hand like a lifeline, "I love you Gil, I've always loved you"

Gil cupped her cheek to make her look at him, "I love you to Catherine"

She smiled, "Really?"

He nodded and whispered, "Really?" as he leant forward and kissed her lovingly, "I've always loved you, and I always will"
