-Finding Happiness

Catherine got out of her thoughts due to the annoying sound of the alarm clock sitting in her nightstand table. She groaned and hit the stop button.

She got up and walked to the bathroom. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, she looked older, the few wrinkles in her porcelain skin looked more marked that they had the day before and her eyes were red an puffy with tears. Tears HE had caused.

Her mind wandered back to the crime scene were she find out Warrick was now a married man. Married. She couldn't believe it! The one man she had always loved was married. And there was nothing she can do about it.

She thought about when she told him about her fantasy, he had looked kinda shocked and like he didn't knew what to say, so he didn't say anything just stared back at her.

Cath got in the shower, got dressed and headed for work. "This is going to be a hell of a long day" She thought.

Warrick sat in the break room's couch with Sara, Nick and Greg. They were talking about something but he wasn't listening. His mind was on Catherine and what she had said to him yesterday. He didn't really responded to her, I mean, how could he? What was he supposed to say? That he loved her? That he felt the same way? That his heart skips a beat when she talks to him, smiles at him, touches him…? No way, he couldn't. Even if all that was true, he was a married man now. And no, he didn't love Tina the way he does Catherine but she was a nice girl and he just couldn't do that to her.

Warrick snapped out of his thoughts when Catherine walked into the room.

"Hey guys" Cath said with a smile.

"Hey Cath" Greg, Sara and Nick said back in unison.

Then Catherine spotted Warrick. She managed an awkward smile. "Hey Rick" She said and sat down next to him. "Hey Cath" he returned the smile not looking directly to her eyes.

Greg, Sara and Nicky exchanged glances. But decided to shrugged it off when Grissom walked in with their assignments.

"Okay you guys. Sara, Nick and Greg, you have a double murder in a hotel room on the strip, both female victims. Warrick, Catherine, you guys have a body inside a dumpster in the alley behind ¨Fred's Dinner"

Warrick glanced at Catherine for a second who was looking at the floor and then looked back at Grissom. "Okay, what about you Griss?"

"Paperwork" he simply stated and left the room.

"You drive" Cath said. Warrick just followed her to the parking lot. They got into their Tahoe. Neither of them saying a word, just occasionally stealing glances at each other.

They arrived to the scene and started processing it. Two hours and a half later they finished and decided to head back to the lab. Yet again the ride to the lab consisted of an awkward silence.

They walked into the lab and bumped into Nick. "Hey guys!" Nick said cheerily. "Hey Nicky" Cath said not too enthusiastic. Warrick just nodded at him.

"So, I'll take this samples to DNA then. Excuse me guys" Catherine said and walked away.

Nick looked at his best friend and said "Warrick, dude. What's going on between you two?" Warrick looked at him and tried to act like he had no idea what he was talking about. And started to walk into the break room where he poured himself a cup of coffee and sat at the table. "Aww come on man. You're not gonna fool me." He said and sat down across from him at the table " I'm smarter than that. The great Nick remember?. I know something's up. I know you. Both of you. You've been acting weird around each other since yesterday. What's up?"

Warrick looked up from his mug to see his friend's concerned face. "Nothing, it's just… Cath is in love with me"

Nick chuckled "And you figured that out just now?" Warrick looked at him in shock. "Come on dude! Even a blind person can see how much the two of you love each other. I don't know why you never said anything" Warrick looked down and started playing with his cup. "I don't know….I mean, I never said anything couse I never thought she felt the same way. But now, I'm married man. I mean, she could've said something before and she decides to say it now? The day after I got married? I just don't know what to do" Warrick buried his head in his hands. "Do you love her? Do you want to be with her? Do you love her more than you love Tina?" Asked Nick. Warrick looked up at him. "Yes. I do. I love her more than anything, more than anyone."

"Then just go for it dude! What the hell are you waiting?! You two waited enough already! Go and tell her. You already know how she feels, now you just have to let her know how you feel."

"You think?" Warrick said. Nick nodded. "But what about Tina?. I mean I don't love her, but I don't want to hurt her. She's a really great girl."

"I know man. But you have to be happy. With the woman you really love. And if that's not Tina, then you have to move on. Talk to Cath, and then explain everything to Tina. You are gonna hurt her dude. But you have to think about yourself too. You deserve to be happy. And Tina will be fine with time. The right man for her is out there somewhere. Sooner or later she will find him and be happy with him too".

"You're right" Warrick said and got up. "Thanks Buddy" he said and patted Nick on the shoulder. "No problem bro." Said Nick "Now go, go after her damn it!"

Warrick laughed and walked away leaving a smiling Nick behind.

Warrick saw Catherine getting out of Grissom´s office. They just had solved the case and she was going to inform Griss and give him all the paperwork.

"Yo Cath! Wait up!" Catherine turned around on her heel and looked at Warrick directly into his eyes where she saw something she couldn't quite read. "Uhm…can we…can we talk?" he looked at her pleading. "About what? Us? I think you made it pretty clear yesterday Warrick. When I told you how I felt and you didn't say anything back" She said, her voice thickening at the end and her eyes full of tears that threaten to spill.

"Let's talk about it somewhere else okay? " Warrick said gently. Catherine just nodded and followed him outside the lab and into the parking lot where there was no one to interrupt them and they could talk about it calmly.

Catherine leaned against the hood of Warrick´s car and looked at him. "So…you wanna talk, talk" She said coldly.

Warrick move to stand in front of her, hand on his jean pockets, head down. "Cath…I….I….I just don't want to hurt Tina. I mean she's a great girl and she doesn't deserve it but you and me, we've been friends for so long and…" Catherine cut him off "Warrick I get it okay? You don't feel the same way and it's fine and…."

"Cath it's not…" She cut him off again. "No, really Warrick I get it you don't love me like that, just like your best friend but I just thought that maybe you…"

"DAMN IT CATH!! You just don't get it do you?" Cath just stood there with a puzzled look on her face. Confusion, hope and love flashing in her blue eyes. Warrick got closer to her almost pinning her to the car. "Cath…" he whispered to her. She could feel his warm breath in her face. "I do Cath. I do feel the same, I do love you back. I do get goose bumps whenever I'm around you and I do want to be with you. But I just have to deal with Tina first. I can't be with you if I'm still married. Even if I really want to. That wouldn't be fair to her. I didn't married her because I loved her, I did it because I thought that I was running out of time to have a family. But I care about her and I don't want to hurt her by cheating on her" Catherine just looked shocked at him. "You, you love me too?" she said her lips slowly curving into a small smile. "Yes, I really do. A lot" He said with a matching smile. He got close to her and slowly close the small gap between their bodies. His lips were on her and the kiss was soft, tender and full of love. They broke apart and gazed into each others eyes. Both, his green and her blue were sparking and also shining with happy tears and they stood there staring into each others soul. Warrick pushed a strand of her strawberry-blonde hair behind her ear and whispered "I love you so much Cath. More than you would ever now. If I knew before that you felt the same I wouldn't have thought twice to tell you how I feel" She put her arms around his neck "I know, but it was definitely worth the wait" she said smiling at him. She leaned in and kiss him again. This time with much more passion. They put all the passion, desire and love they've been feeling for all these years into that one kiss. When they finally broke apart they were both gasping for air. They rested their foreheads against each other "Wow" Warrick said smiling. "Yeah" agreed Catherine with a matching smile.

"So I guess I should head home and talk to Tina" Warrick said giving a breath. "Yeah…I guess you should" Said Cath.

They stepped apart but hold into each others hands. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?" Warrick asked. "Of course" Catherine smiled. "Good luck with Tina" She said genuinely. "Thanks babe. I love you" He said and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you too" She said and watched him walk to his car.

She stayed there looking at the stars after he had disappeared around the corner. "I love you Warrick" she whispered with a smile on her face. And headed to her own car.
