Nike Stokes, Sara Sidle, Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Gil Grissom

Nick

Like I said: the more the merrier. I am really looking forward to it. In my hopes of meeting new people I asked a few of my "friends" to come and required them to bring at least one person with them. That turned into this dinner party that I can't wait for.
Dinner is at 7 at Café Royale. The rest of the party will be in my suite. I didn't set any attire requirements but I am guessing that most will be wearing semi-casual (ie: slacks, semi dress shirts, casual skirts, etc.)
Take Care~

It took Nick a lot of work to convince his co-workers to go with him. He couldn't go alone. He wouldn't know anyone and Paige would be busy mingling so he had to bring someone. Catherine was actually quick to agree. Warrick was a reluctant to party at a casino due to past problems at the blackjack tables. Sara needed clarification on whether is would be a date or not. Grissom was a whole different story. Nick really didn't care whether Grissom went with them. He assumed that he wouldn't, however, when the whole group was going Catherine made it her personal mission to convince him to go.
By Friday Grissom had finally agreed. Nick believed that it was just to get Catherine to leave him alone.
The team met at the lab on Friday night so that they ride together. Nick and Warrick rode together since they had the entire night off and could stay late. Sara, Catherine and Grissom rode together so they could leave earlier to get to work.
The group had impressed Nick. He was surprised to see them fairly dressed up. He noticed that Sara looked amazing. She was wearing a red satin dress with a cute black sweater. He hadn't noticed Sara's beauty in a long time. He got used to seeing her as a CSI and not as a woman. Could that have caused his problems with them dating? He just didn't see her as dating material.
On the way to the Royale Warrick finally had time to play 20 questions with Nick and find out more details about this woman from his past.
"So Nicky, is she what you remembered?"
"Well, being that I really didn't remember her at all, I guess so. I didn't recognize her. She walked right up to me and I still didn't know who she was."
"What is this little shindig for? You said that she was just trying to get people together but why the Royale? It seems a bit much. Who has a "social hour" at one of Vegas's most sophisticated not to mentioned expensive casinos?"
"I thought I told you, she works there. She also lives there. She has a suite somewhere in the hotel."
"She lives at the Royale. Damn! Nicky. Why didn't you tell me this girl was rollin' in it. If I would've known that, I would've worn a suit or something."
"I didn't think that was important. She does work there also so I am sure that she gets a great rate."
"Whatever, the only way someone can live in a place like the Royale is if they are part of Fortune's 500. So is she smokin'?"
"She's pretty."
"That's all your gonna give me?"
"You'll see for yourself soon enough."
They were pulling up the Royale's Valet. Nick noticed that his palms were starting to get a bit clammy. He thought Paige was attractive but seeing Sara as something other than a co-worker confused him. After their lunch, Nick thought for sure that he could see himself with Paige. She was everything he was looking for in the special someone. He wasn't sure how that compared to the feelings he had for Sara.
