I know I haven't written anything in a while, but I'm working on it. My little inspiration bunny has finally returned.
No beta.
Milestones
At first it was just a look, a series of flirtatious visages. But that was before we had worked our first case together; when we had just been introduced.
"I'm glad you chose the night shift. We could use the extra pair of hands," Gil Grissom's slightly monotone voice spoke to me as we walked down the halls of the lab. "I apologize on Jim's part; he's stuck in a meeting."
"No problem, man. It comes with the job, I guess. My younger years proceeded my present time attitude.
"Politics," Grissom shrugged. We turned another corner before he spoke again.
"I have someone I'd like you to meet. She's a good friend of mine, who is also on the team." I didn't smile, I'd seen plenty of women in this line of work, most of which were so emotionally drawn from the job that it took away from their personality. Man was I wrong.
Grissom pushed a door open, revealing an amazing shock. She was bent over a metal table, placing a bag of evidence on the far corner. Everything about her was attractive, and drastically different from the ones before: body, hair, face, makeup, clothes; and I didn't even know her name.
"Hey Gil," her velvet smooth voice greeted her colleague. "Who's this?" she flashed her pearly whites at me.
"Warrick Brown." I extended my hand towards her.
"Catherine Willows," she retorted, my grin matching hers. Our hands were still connected when Grissom broke the moment.
"Great, now for the grand tour." He looked at his watch, "which will have to be fast; tonight's a busy one."
After that I would only pass her in the halls or briefly in the break room, because I was the rookie and could only work under Grissom or Brass. Then one night, when the case work-unlike the paperwork-was light, I was assigned an easy case, or, what started as one.
I know it's short. I'm sticking to my view of many small chapters is better than one SUPER long one-shot. Drop me a review?
