I do not own CSI. Thanks for the reviews and ideas.
"So what now?" Catherine asked Warrick.
"What do you mean?" He inquired playfully as he held her close on the couch.
"I mean.....with us, with my job.......my Father." She looked into his eyes.
"Well, with US, let's just take it one day at a time.....although I think everything will work out just fine." He smiled and kissed her deeply, thankful her fangs were nowhere around this time. "As for your job as a CSI, I don't see why you can't still do it. I've been doing it for a while and none of you ever knew or even suspected I was a slayer."
"True..." She thought outloud, "And it would be a good way for me to kind of keep tabs on potential......meals." She said chuckling at how it sounded.
"No need to be embarassed Cath....I agree with you that it's a good idea. You do have to eat.....just like the rest of us." He said.
"I still need to think about it though....I"m not too sure I'm not....past that part of my life, you know? And I'd rather not have to explain why I'm not getting any older in ten years."
"Well, vamps have been getting around that stuff for hundreds of years, so.....we can make it work if you decide you want to.....but it's your decision...."
She sat there in his arms for a few seconds just thinking......and questioning.
"Warrick?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Are you sure.....you're ok.....with this." She said gesturing between the two of them.
"Of course! I thought you knew that already." He said surprised at where the question came from.
"I know! And I know you're ok NOW.....but......what makes you so sure that somewhere down the road you're not going to realize what a horrible idea it is to be with a vampire?"
"Because I've gotten over that.......and I know that THAT wasn't what was truly keeping me from you in the first place.....it was my fear and stubborness. I'm in love with you Catherine Willows...........fangs and all." He said and kissed her on the forehead.
She stifled a laugh.
"What?" He asked.
"You can't possibly be in love with the "fangs and all" part!" She said grinning.
"Well, then, I think I have a confession to make." He said.
"Yes?"
"When I saw you at that ball....in that dress......taking out slayer after slayer.....fangs bared......I thought it might possibly be the sexiest I've ever seen you." He said shyly.
"Really?"
"Really. When you make a decision to love someone....you can't just forget about certain parts of them, you know? So....believe me when I say that vampire Catherine is very...very attractive.............as is Catherine my friend."
She began to respond but her cell phone went off. She stood up and flipped it open, seeing it was Sam.
"Sam? Yes....yes....I'm FINE! Yes he did bring in the other one.......mm hmmm........yes, thank you. Umm.......did he make a decision about me?" She stopped and eyed Warrick, remembering he'd told her it was Sam who helped him 'see the light.'
"Yes...he did. Of course I'm happy.......I know.......I KNOW, Sam.........I remember he's a slayer......mmm-hmmm..........ok, well, listen, Sam. About that proposition you gave me the other night? Yeah......that one........I've been thinking........."
I know that was REALLY short....REVIEW!!! Let me know what you think should come next...I"m quite at a loss.....
