1. They always smell good even if it's just shampoo.

It's not hard to love someone like Stella Bonasera. For starters, she's boldly gorgeous. Her golden curls fall perfectly just below her shoulders framing her goddess-like face. And when she smiles, it's not just her lips that do the smiling but also those perfect emerald-green orbs of hers. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that she was beautiful, least of all Don Flack's. He lost count of how many perps, suspects, witness and even just by-standers who have tried their luck flirting with the lovely detective. He also lost count of the number of times he had to suppress the desire to hurt those who look at her the wrong way and beat the hell out of those who sweet talk her hoping to get her to notice them. She definitely had a face to turn heads.

But she is so much more than a pretty face for beneath her stunning features is a clever mind and a radiant personality that, if possible, is more dazzling than her outside appearance. Determined, tenacious and exceptional. She always fights for what she believes in and never gives up without a fight. A woman harder to forget than remember for she always never fails to make a first impression and make you want to delve deeper and unravel the mystery that is Stella Bonasera.

Among these things, there is one thing that lingers to Don Flack and even just a drift of it never ceased to remind him of her and makes sure that she is in his mind all-day long. Her scent. The first time he noticed it was the first time they were introduced to each other. It was intoxicating but in a good way. It may come off a bit too strong but when you can't smell it anymore you unconsciously look for and the scent lingers in your nose wanting to smell it again. It was something new to him. He never smelled that combination before. At first, he didn't give much notice to the combination of lily, cinnamon, freesia, and a smell he couldn't quite give a name and just thought that it was one of those concoctions placed in a pretty bottle and sold at a very high price but he couldn't deny that the scent suited her.

Her scent is one of the main reasons, apart from her face because he is after all still a man, what got Don Flack's interested to get to know the striking Greek detective. And he grew more intrigued on their 25th encounter.

"There you are! I thought I might have missed you." Don said heading towards her a case file in hand.

"What?" she replied as she made her way out of the locker room.

"Mac asked me if I can ask you to pull a double shift and take this case." He said gesturing to the folder at his hand. He noticed that her hair was still slightly wet. It doesn't take a CSI to figure out that she just finished taking a shower and was about to head home.

"No, its okay. I'll take it." She said going closer to him as she reached for the case file.

"He said that he wouldn't ask but there's another body at Central Park and he could really use your…" Don lost track of what he was saying for as she approached him, her scent reached his nose and once again brought the variety of scents. Then that's when the scent he couldn't quite name found one. Lily, cinnamon, freesia and her. It wasn't some expensive perfume she used. It was just her. He can still smell the cheap shampoo that the department places in their locker rooms but amidst that is the combination that piqued his curiosity on her. No wonder the scent suited her, it was perfect for her.

"Okay, I'll just get my kit." She said as she closed the folder which she apparently took from his hand but he couldn't quite remember due to his 'epiphany' and turned around to head to the lab. "Meet you in the car in 10."

"…help." He finished his sentence watching her retreating figure. He ran a hand to his hair. His mind trying to make sense of his realization. He wondered what activities she does to smell like that. He knows that her job doesn't give her the luxury of time to do the activities that he thought can make a woman smell like that.

He stood there in the spot she left her in, her scent still lingering in his nose just like the first time. He just remembered that he needed to meet her at the car when an lab tech bumped into him and made him aware that he hadn't moved from his spot. He headed to the parking lot with her scent and the though of her accompanying him. Unknown to him, that was the moment he started falling in love with her.

He had worked with a lot of others who do the same job as she does but none could compare to the natural scent that is uniquely Stella Bonasera.
