A/N: This is a story that my buddy wrote about me/ for me. Hope you like it.

The Replacement

"Kailey, Greg. Greg, this is Kailey. Kailey Jones. She's going to be your replacement, provided you pass your proficiency test and you also have the time to train her and show her around." Grissom cocked an eyebrow at the spiky-haired lab tech and waited for his reaction.

Greg nodded. "Sure!" he grinned excitedly and ran his fingers through his hair.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh. My. God.

That was the only coherent thought flying through Kailey's mind as she shook his hand and smiled back. "Nice to meet you."

"Right back at ya." Greg threw her a charming grin. "I'll show you around." He glanced pointedly at Grissom and led her out the door.


"Coffee?"

"What?" Kailey jolted back to attention at the sound of Greg's beautiful voice. "Uh, yeah, sure."

Greg's chocolate brown eyes twinkled mischievously as he reached behind a cabinet and pulled out a package of coffee grinds and a box of seashells.

"I love those!" Kailey burst out, unable to help herself.

"Good. Otherwise I might have to kill you," he joked.

"Hahahaha… give me some." She snatched the box out of his hands and plucked one out while he started the coffee maker.


"Movie?"

"Which one?"

"Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"Umm…"

"On a 64 inch flat screen; pigging out?"

"Hell yes." Kailey giggled. "Let's go."

"We can take my car, but we'll stop at your house on the way. You need to get your bathing suit."

"Why?"

"You'll see." Greg's eyes sparkled.


"This is so much fun," Kailey laughed, splashing some water in Greg's face.

He sputtered for a moment, then splashed her back. "Hey!" she protested. "That's not fair!" She sent a tidal wave in his direction and dodged the one he threw back at her.

"Is too."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Wanna start the first movie?"

"Okay."

After an hour and a half of having a blast in the hot tub, they had gotten out and were lounging on Greg's hammock on the porch watching Pirates of the Caribbean. Halfway through the movie, Greg's arm had found its way around her shoulders and he pulled her close.

"Greg?" Kailey shifted to face him.

"What is it?"

"I'm having a lot of fun."

"That's cool," Greg brushed away some hair that had fallen in her face.

Their eyes met.

Greg dipped his head slightly and kissed her. He slid an arm around her waist as she kissed him back sweetly. They broke apart after a couple of minutes, breathing heavily. "Wow," he murmured softly.

"Wow is right," Kailey agreed, grinning.

And then they sat back to watch the rest of the movie.
