Summary: A flasback in time.. to when Gil and Catherine first met, and the events that led them to where they are today.
It's be done before..but I'm doing it again! (heheh)
"Hey Sexy!" A voice came from the hallway.
Gil looked up from the book he was reading, as Catherine walked into his office.
"How is my fellow supervisor today?"
Gil smiled " I was good" he paused " Now I'm even better."
Catherine smiled and sat down on his couch. " Whatcha doin?"
Gil closed the book and tossed it toward her "Thinking" she at back " Remembering."
Catherine knew what he was talking about instantly when she saw the book.
"Wow!" she exclaimed " I didn't even know you had this. I don't think I even kept my grade twelve year book."
Gil smiled to himself and sat next to her.
"Oh gosh!" she flipped through the pages " Spring Fling princess, Prom Queen, head cheerleader..god was I that pathetic?"
Gil shook his head " Not pathetic, Popular, well liked and respected, insanely friendly."
Catherine chuckled to herself " Your so full of it"
Gil couldn't help but smile
Catherine flipped through a few more pages and stopped " Oh now that guy right there was amazing!" she held up the book revealing a picture of Gil " damn you were cute!"
Now it was Gil's turn to chuckle. " You know I was just thinking about the day we first met..."
FLASHBACK
Catherine Victoria Grey stood outside her high school staring up at the building.
"Last year" she whispered to herself as she gripped her books " This year your going to make something of it."
As she stood locked in her trance, life continued around her.
A small grey station wagon pulled up to the side walk.
"Don't screw around, your at school to learn not to mingle and don't forget to bring home your study books!" a voice blurted out behind her.
A young man climbed out of the car his books in his hand instead of in his bag, and the car drove away.
Catherine turned back to the school after taking a quick glance at him, and headed toward it when she felt her body falling to the ground.
Catherine's books scattered across the front lawn along with the boy's that had accidentally knocked into her.
"I'm sorry" he whispered putting his glasses back on his face. " I can be such a klutz some times."
Catherine sat up and with his help they began sorting out their books.
" I don't recognize you" she smiled " You're new?"
"Yes" the boy replied, not looking up at her.
"Where are you from?" she kept talking
"California." he replied plainly
"Cool" Catherine exclaimed picking up a book " Not much of a talker?"
The boy shrugged
"I'm Catherine!" she reached out her hand " Catherine Victoria Grey."
For the first time he looked up at her and he was speechless. " I.." he stammered " pretty" he muttered
"What?" Catherine wasn't sure what he was saying.
His face started to turn red and he broke the contact. "nice to meet you." he whispered reaching for another book "I'm Gil..Grissom"
Catherine smiled " By the looks of it your planning on taking biology."
Gil nodded " Yeah" he grabbed a book that wasn't his " Looks like you are too"
Catherine nodded " So what do you want to major in?"
Gil looked up at her again. " You really want to know?"
Catherine raised an eyebrow " Of course, if I didn't I wouldn't have asked."
"Well" Gil began " I was.."
"Catherine!" a voice called from behind.
Gil and Catherine looked up " Hey Ed!" she waved to him and then quickly turned back to her books and to Gil.
"You were saying?"
Gil shook his head as Eddie came up beside them.
"Come on babe." Eddie bent down and grabbed some of her books " Lets go!"
Catherine made a face " Hang on a sec."
She turned back to Gil. " Gil this is my boy..this is Eddie. Eddie Willows" she introduced them " Ed, this is Gil, he's new here, all the way from Calif..."
"Yeah, yeah" Eddie interrupted her " Let's go"
Catherine sighed and looked around the ground. She spotted one more book at the same time as Gil and they both reached for it. As they came in contact with the book their hands came together. Gil's just over Catherine's both gripping the spine of the hardcover textbook.
They looked up at each other and they were instantly locked in a dreamlike gaze.
Eddie stood over watching what was going on and it bothered him. He cleared his throat letting them know he was there.
"Oh" Gil snapped out " That's yours" he whispered as he stood up and quickly ran into the school.
Catherine watched as he disappeared and grabbed up the book. " Eddie could you give me a hand with these?"
Eddie rolled his eyes. " What is all this for anyway, It's the first freaking day! Biology?" he grabbed her schedule " I thought you were taking auto shop with me?"
Catherine shook her head " Why would I, I don't want to be a mechanic and neither do you. And I can't screw around this year, not if I want to get into university, besides biology is more important. ."
Eddie scoffed " Yeah if you're a loser."
Catherine punched his shoulder " You're such an ass sometimes" she snapped grabbing her books and storming past him.
Catherine headed down the hall and found her locker to put her books away.
As she went through the pile she noticed one she had never seen before." Forensic Entomology" she read the title aloud " That's not mine."
"What are you reading?" Eddie came up behind her and snaked his arms around her waist and nibbled on her ear.
"Gil's book got mixed up with mine." she turned to face him.
Eddie grabbed the book " Oh you mean that weirdo?"
"He's not weird Eddie, you just don't know him!"
"And you do?" Eddie snapped
Catherine shook her head " That's not what I meant!" she snapped back, grabbing the book from his hands and slipping it into her bag.
Eddie took the bag from her hands and pressed up against her. " SO, what are we going to do during your spare period?" he kissed her.
Catherine pushed him away " Were at school Eddie knock it off. And As for spare it is going to be my study period."
Eddie made a face " And when is there going to be time for us?" he leaned in again."
"There will be plenty of time!" she replied as she saw Gil coming down the hall over his shoulder. " GIL!" she called to him.
"Got to go Eddie, the bell is going to ring. see you at lunch. " She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and ran to catch up with Gil.
"Wow!" Eddie's friend Mark came and slapped his shoulder " Looks like she's getting tired of you."
Eddie slapped his hand away " No she isn't" he watched as he disappeared down the hall with Gil
"Come on let's go out for a smoke."
