Disclaimer: how I wish I owned CSI.
Lou Vartann had been working for LVPD for a little over a year now and everyday, since he had met her, he had loved her. This beautiful, amazing, sexy, fiery, stubborn woman had captured his heart and held it everyday since. There was only one problem, she didn't know she had his heart in her grasp.
He had tried numerous times to ask her out but somehow he always managed to cock it up and end up talking about some meaningless dribble, usually about a case. Well tonight he was determined that was going to change, tonight he was going to ask her out. Approaching her office at the end of shift he raised a shaky fist and took a deep breathe, he knocked on her door.
"Come in." Her voice was like music to his ears.
Walking in he wiped his sweaty palms on his pants, Catherine looked up from her paperwork.
"Detective, what can I do for you?" She asked with a sweet smile, causing his resolve to break slightly but he wouldn't let it, he had to do this.
"I was wondering if you wanted to grab a drink after shift," he held his breath as he waited for her answer.
"Sure, why don't you go round the guys up while I finish this up." She turned back to her work.
He took another deep breath, this always looked so much easier in the movies.
"Actually….I…..was kind of hoping it could be just us," he stammered.
"Oh! You mean…like a date?"
Lou shifted nervously from foot to foot "If you want it to be."
Catherine smiled as the normally hard, confident detective became a shy teenage boy asking out his first girlfriend.
"I'd like that," she beamed "Why don't I meet you outside."
Lou left her office and made his way to his car with the biggest grin on his face.
He had a date with Catherine Willows.
The woman who held his heart….
