A/N: Hello all, I am back! This one's a CSI: Las Vegas. Now I have to warn everyone this is completely AU! I have a whole backstory for what has been going on. The basic deal is: Catherine is 26. Nick is 28. Sara is working with the crime lab. Greg is around as a DNA tech. Grissom is in his late 30's and Sara is 27. I don't know how much of Warrick we're going to see because I really never liked his character. I might introduce Riley Adams later on. If anyone wants more details about what I have planned, please PM me. If you have any story ideas you would like to see PM me. I have a general idea as to where this story is going but, I can always change things or add things I always can. Now, on to the story. :)
Twenty-six year old Catherine Willows smiled as she snuggled into her boyfriend's warm side. Nick and Catherine had just returned to Nick's home after a date. Nick smiled down at Catherine when she sighed into his side.
"Hey Cath, you know I'll always be here for you right?" Catherine poked her head up and leaned on one elbow,
"Course I do, Nicky." Catherine got a mischievous look on her face. She abruptly stood, wrapping the sheets around her thin form.
"Ay, Cath I'm cold over here. Way to take all my covers." Nick mock scowled. Catherine laughed and threw the sheets back at the muscular Texan.
"Happy now? You are such a baby." Catherine began to rummage in the desk next to the door for a pen.
"What are you looking for?" Nick leaned up on one elbow to see what Catherine was doing. Catherine hurried back into the bed with a black ballpoint pen.
"Turn onto your back." Catherine commanded and Nick obeyed, slightly confused as to what was happening. Catherine took her pen and signed her signature onto Nick's hipbone.
"Ouch, do you have to press so hard?" Nick complained just as Catherine finished the final swirl on her name. Catherine smiled,
"Well, now you are officially mine. I bought you and I'm not returning you." Catherine leaned down and gave Nick a big kiss on the lips and then proceeded to squeal when Nick flipped her over and grabbed the pen out of her hand. Catherine began squirming and Nick held her down so he could sign him name onto her hipbone. She giggled when the pen tickled her skin.
"Nicky, stop that!" She giggled and Nick put the pen down.
"Hah, now you're mine. I bought you." Catherine mock glared at him and pulled Nick down next to her. Nick leaned up next to her,
"Cath, do you ever think about gettin' married?" Nick knew about Catherine's quickie marriage when she was 20 but, he wasn't sure what her stance was now. Catherine gave this question some thought. In the end, her answer was,
"If I found the right guy then I wouldn't even need to hesitate." Nick smiled,
"Good." He rolled off the bed and picked the pen up off the floor. Grabbing Catherine's hand he said,
"Catherine Willows I really hope I'm the right guy. Will you marry me?" Catherine, in lieu of an answer, kissed Nick square on the lips.
"Did you plan this?" Catherine asked when they broke apart for air. Nick began to write on her hand,
"Nah, spur of the moment kind of thing. That's why I don't have a ring for you." Nick finished writing and Catherine looked at her hand. In Nick's handwriting there were four words:
ENGAGED TO NICK STOKES!
Catherine smiled.
"You are absolutely nuts, but I love you to pieces." Nick leaned over to kiss his new fiancée.
"Yeah, you're crazy too Mrs. Stokes-to-be."
"I like the sound of that Nick." Catherine pulled the covers over hers and Nick's heads and they didn't go to sleep for quite a while.
