I don't own any characters. Raiting would be... T? I KNOW this story plot was taken and has already been written, but... eh... I wanted to put my own twist to it.

Catherine and Gil meet in Catherine's stripping days, they fall in love, get torn apart, and Catherine finds Gil a few years after ... engaged and soon marrying no one else but the ... (eeeekkkk) Sara Homisidle. (OOPS. I MEAN ... SARA SIDLE!) XD LOL. Er .. yeah. Hope you guys like. And GRR. I know Catherine had a different last name, but I can't remeber it.

Catherine Willows sighed as she put on her make-up for her show that was about to take place. It was the same thing every night. She danced ... for men who came from the strangest places. If they were married or not, they still came to watch. She finished putting on her make-up and walked to the end of the stage. She congragulated her friends as they passed her to get back stage and change their outfits. She closed her eyes and wished that tonight wouldn't be as bad as the others. She wished that something good would come out of this whole thing.

"Give it up for ... Kitty Cat!" She sighed as she heard her nickname being announced and as the large number of men sitting in the front row screamed and yelled like a bunch of idiots. She did her best to look like she was happy, but nothing or no one could ever make her feel such a thing.

Gil Grissom couldn't BELIEVE he let his friend talk him into going to a strip club. Usually, Gil wasn't one for the whole scene. He was the type of guy that you would find in his apartment every night after work, watching tv or doing a crossword puzzle. They sat at the bar and just talked. He wasn't intrested in watching the dancers. He did, however, notice the loud noises and screams the men were making when one certain dancer was called on stage. He turned his head to see what was going on and suddenly stopped thinking about everything else that was happening.

The most beautiful woman had walked out on stage and looked right his way. He couldn't stop staring at her. She wasn't like the rest. She had the most amazing blue eyes. She had beautiful, blonde hair. But her eyes ... it was her eyes that he couldn't stop staring at.

Catherine walked out on to the stage and saw the most good looking guy there. He was staring right back at her. Instead of clapping and whistling like the idiots infront of her, he was just sitting there, watching her. He was focused on her eyes. This made her smile because he wasn't like the rest who just came to watch her take her clothes off. She started dancing, but this time it was different. She actually WANTED to dance. She wanted to be there alone with him and ask him so many questions.

Gil's friend, Ryan, looked back at the two. He noticed they were staring at each other. Nothing else seemed to matter at the moment. It was all about her.

"Hey ... Gil? I can hook you guys up if you want?" Gil's concentration was broken and he looked at Ryan.

"Huh?"

"You ... and Kitty Cat... together?"

"I'm sure she has a name..."

"You're right. You wanna find out?"

"I... um..."

"Great. It's settled. After the show. You two ... one room?"

"I..." Ryan had already gotten up from the table and went talk to his friend, the owner of the place. Gil sighed and took a sip of his drink. He looked back over at Catherine and just as the music was fading out, she winked at him and walked off the stage. Gil's attention was torn away from the stage and was now focused on two men walking towards him. One of them, Ryan, and the other ... Gil had no idea who.

"So ... Mr. Gil Grissom is it?"

"Ugh... yeah. Nice to meet you." Gil stuck out his hand and shook the mangers hand for a second.

"So ... Ryan here tells me you're interested in one of my dancers?"

"Well... not really interested. Just ..."

"Well, I could get a private dance? Or maybe just a talk with her..."

"A talk. A talk with her is fine. I don't need anything else."

Catherine walked back stage and smiled as she passed all of her friends who were cheering for her on yet another well done show. She sat down on her chair and looked in the mirror. She saw the owner, Tony, walking up to her. She turned around in her seat and smiled sweetly.

"You did great, Cath."

"Thanks."

"Well ... I have a man out there who would like to talk to you."

"Oh. Another private dance?" Catherine sighed. Sure, it was her job and she chose to do it, but she wish she wouldn't have.

"No. No. Unless that's what you want it to be. He just wants to talk."

"Well... bring him in here."

"He's outside waiting for you." Catherine smiled as Tony walked off with Ryan, put on some jeans , shirt, a jacket, and walked outside where the same man who was watching her earlier was standing.

"Hey there." Catherine said smiling. Gil looked at her and was at a lost for words. He quickly snapped back to reality and smiled.

"Hi. I'm ugh ... Gil. Gil Grissom."

"Well Gil, I'm Catherine. Catherine Willows."

"Beautiful name..."

"Thank you..." A slow smile formed on Catherine's lips. She looked around and then at her friends back stage. "It's um... it's getting late..."

"Um. Would you like to go to dinner with me?"

"Thanks. I'd love to." Gil held out his arm and waited for Catherine to take it. She smiled as they walked out of the door. Gil drove to an expensive resturuant and parked. Catherine was stunned by all the beautiful lights and decorations. Gil went to open the door but she sat there.

"Catherine? You coming?"

"I can't go in there like this..." Catherine looked down at her clothes and frowned. Gil smirked, walked over to her side of the car, and opened the door.

"Catherine... you look fine." She smiled and got out of the car. No one was ever this nice to her. She began to question his motives. Did he really mean what he say? Or was he just like the rest? They were seated in a nice booth over looking the strip. Catherine stared out of the window and smiled as she saw the lights flash and blink infront of her eyes.

"Gil, this place is beautiful."

"Isn't it? Have you ever been here before?"

"Me? Oh no. No one's ever taken me out to a place this nice before..."

"I can't see why." Gil said softly. Catherine looked at him and smiled.

"So Mr. Grissom..."

"Please. Call me Gil."

"Okay Gil... tell me a little about yourself."

"Well, I work for the Las Vegas Crime Lab... I'm not married, if that's what you were thinking..." Catherine giggled.

"No. I can assure you, I wasn't thinking that..."

"I live a few minutes away from here actually, in my townhouse."

"Hmm. Must be a nice place."

"It is. It is. Very relaxing, but my job keeps me away from it."

"Your job? You said you work at the Las Vegas Crime Lab?" Gil nodded his head. "What do you do?"

"I'm a Crime Scene Investigator. Known to most as a 'CSI'." Catherine's face lit up with excitement and joy. Gil watched as she began to get excitted.

"Really? That's what I'm going to school for!"

"Seriously? Wow. That's great, Catherine."

"Oh. Call me Cath, Gil." Catherine said smiling.

"When you graduate... come stop by and I'll get you a job interview."

"Would you? Really?"

"Of course. I can't see why. You look like the CSI type. And we need more members on our team."

"Gil... really. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!" Catherine just couldn't believe he was doing all of this for her. She smiled for the whole coversation. She could tell right away, he wasn't like the others. He was someone she could trust.

"So Cath... it's your turn. Tell me a little about YOURSELF." Catherine sighed and blew the bangs out of her eyes. She looked up at Gil and hoped he was ready to learn about the Catherine Willows that was sitting infront of him.

TBC... how do you guys like it so far?
