I Love Her
A CatNip (Cath/Nick) story. Enjoy!
Nick was woken up by a phone call from Grissom telling him to meet him and Warrick at a 419, a motel in Henderson. After registering he forgot to set his alarm having so much fun last night with the woman he spent the night with noticing she already left, he quickly took a shower, got ready, picked up some breakfast on the way to the scene.
"Nick. Where were you? I called you over an hour ago." Grissom asked immediately after spotting Nick arriving.
Nick lifted up the crime scene tape and bent down under walking towards Grissom, watching him picking off some fibers on the bed sheets next to the victim. "Sorry, I… forgot to set the alarm…" Nick told him, hearing Warrick chuckle from the window collecting fingerprints. Nick turned to smile at Warrick, laughing slightly himself. Not hearing his boss say anything, "So… whataya need me to do, boss?"
"You. Help Warrick. I've got another 419 on the other side of town." He informed Nick as he stood up dropping off his evidence in Nick's hands since he just stood there, and left to his other crime scene.
Nick kneeled down by the bed to continue where Grissom left off. "So, how was that girl you went home with last night?" Warrick chuckled, turning to look at Nick. "You did go home with her right? Catherine?"
Nick laughed. "Yeah." Nick nodded, continuing with his work without turning to look at Warrick, so Warrick decided to carry on his work.
"And how was she?" Warrick asked feeling a little weird to ask about his bestfriend's first night encounter with his co-worker.
"It was good." Nick secretly smiling, as he dusted the bedside table for prints.
"Seems a lot than good. You never turn in this late, man." He snickered.
"Okay… it was a little more than good."
Warrick howled with laughter. "Yeah? So, you seeing her tonight too?" He stood up and walked to the other bedside table to help Nick out.
"I don't know. Maybe. Depends if Ed's gonna help babysit, I doubt he will though."
"I'll punch his face in if he doesn't. Can't let him blow your chances of getting yourself a nice babe, huh?" Warrick snickered, seeing Nick scowl at him.
After returning to the lab, Nick walked with Warrick while Warrick was telling him about his theory. Nick was distant; he was searching around the lab for Catherine. Wondering if she had the time tonight. "Hey, do you think she knows that I actually want to date her?" He suddenly blurted out, letting Warrick realise that Nick wasn't listening to his theory at all.
Warrick frowned at Nick. "Why do you even want to date her? That's not you, man."
I'm not even close to finishing this, I don't think I will anytime soon. Sorry. But, I will.
