Chapter 1:
FLASHBACK
Wow is all I could remember thinking to myself. I had just graduated from UGA (University of Georgia) and had received my doctorate. I decided to go against my parents and pursue a career other than law…but I am getting to far ahead of myself I'll start towards the beginning.
Growing up I guess you could say I lived well off. My parents owned their own huge company and my first car was a Bentley so I guess that said it all. But with my family there was something that I found hard to tell people…my parents hated me. I had two older brothers and two younger brothers and two younger sisters but I was the unwanted kid. When I was born you could say I was an accident and when I was older I found out something that would change my life and how I viewed my family. I was always treated differently and my maid/nurse was the person that became my mom.
PRESENT
"God I am an idiot. All I can think about is my past when here I came to Vegas to move on with my life." I had just graduated and I moved to the one and only Las Vegas and got a job at the number 2 crime lab in the country…I was going to be a CSI. I had worked in a lab before and I was already a CSI level 3 so I knew what I was doing but walking into that building for the first time I was nervous. My new boss…Gilbert Grissom sent me on an errand or a bunch of errands before I got here and my hands were full of all this stuff supposedly for a case but whatever. I had a hard time getting through the doors since my hands were full but when I finally did I had to wander down the halls to find my new boss. But suddenly I heard loud voices and before I knew it a door came swinging open and nailed me right in the face and two angry people came out and walked right past me without even acknowledging me.
"Great can my day get any better?" My strange and weird boss had just sent me out on errands making me two hours late and now all this crap is all over the floor and I ran into a door like an idiot then suddenly I hear someone talking.
"Excuse me, but are you okay? You look like you could use a hand."
Then I slowly looked slowly seeing, feet, legs, a very "large" mid section [if you know what I mean] a strong eight pack chest, two deep brown puppy-dog eyes that all added up to the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.
I looked up sheepishly and muttered a few words about being fine. Then he reached out and took my hand but it took me a few seconds to realize it was to help me up and I took it but as he was pulling me up I lost my footing and I fell flat onto my ass once again and I took him with me this time.
Quickly I jumped up and try to help him up blushing a bit when he starts laughing.
"I am so sorry. I should have warned you, I am a disaster warning."
The guy quickly took my hand and got up though he didn't use it obliviously afraid of me not being able to support him.
"Now that can't be true, a pretty thing like you." He puts out his hand. "Hi I'm Nick Stokes."
I take his hand. "Hi, I'm um, I'm Jessica, Jessica Anderson"
"Well hi Jessica let me help you with these." He gestures to the pile of junk all over the floor.
"Um thanks. I guess they should put warning signs by these doors."
He laughs. "Yeah well that was Catherine and Ecklie and they should just have warning signs on them."
I laugh and then blush as our hands touch picking up the stuff on the floor. "Could you tell me where I could find a Gilbert Grissom?"
I reach out my hand to take the stuff but he keeps it and says he'll help me.
"No thanks. I think he would rather have me do it just point me in the right direction."
"Are you sure you can handle this?" He points to the stuff.
"Yeah as long as I don't face plant into any more doors."
He Chuckles. "Ok, go down this hall, take a left, and then it is the third door on the right. You can't miss it, it has all this weird bug crap and stuff like that all over it."
"Thanks, um…uh…Nick right?" He nods and I turn and walk away knowing that he is checking out my rear thank God I wore my sexy slightly too tight jeans today.
"You're welcome Jessica Anderson." Damn she is fine. I should have gotten her number.
WHAT DO YOU THINK SO FAR? Shall I continue?
