I do not own this characters or the song. "Why Can't I" by Liz Phair
Catherine and Gil walked up to the lab and waited for Greg. Catherine looked at her watch," Hey Gil it is almost end of shift, do you mind if I get a ride with you when you go home, I know it's out of the way... But" Catherine made a face "Well I could just call a cab, if you can't." Gil smiled " You know I will, let me get some things out of my office and let Brass know, and I will meet you outside. Catherine smiled and walked down to the locker room. Gil ran to his office and then to the break room to find Warrick. " Hey Warrick" he called as he poked his head into the break room. "I am going to tell her" he smiled and walked out.
Gil walked out to his Tahoe and smiled at the sight of Catherine who was leaning against the Tahoe, the wind blowing in her hair. " Hey" he smiled "sorry I took so long I had to talk to Warrick about some things."
Catherine and Gil climbed into the vehicle and began driving. At first the f=ride was quite until Gil broke the silence. " SO how is Lindsey doing?" Catherine smiled at the fact that no matter what he always cared about Lindsey, and she really liked that in a man. That is what she wanted someone who would lover her, and someone hoe would love Lindsey and so are in her life the only someone that was, was Gil Grissom.
"She is doing okay, I mean she still really misses her dad but she has stopped fighting at school and she talks to me again and we don't fight as much so everything is great." Gil was about to ask another question when Catherine cut him off " Oh, Lindsey and I love this song" she reached for the radio and turned up the volume as the song "Why Can't I" by Liz Phair started to play and Catherine began to sing along.
"Get a load of me, get a load of you, Walking' down the street, and I hardly know you It's just like we were meant to be"
Gil smiled to himself as he watched how happy Catherine was. Pulling up to a red light Gil took this time to stare at the beauty beside him. When Catherine realized he was staring she began to blush.
"Sorry" she smiled " I really do like this song. It' kind of reminds me of us."
Gil began to really listen to the Lyrics as the song played "Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you, Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you, It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it So tell me, Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you"
Gil was in shock, what had she just said to him, what had it meant. He looked over at Catherine, who was smiling back at him " Gil it's green" Gil looked at her funny "What do you mean?" Catherine chuckled " the stop light, is green Gil green means go."
Gil finally clued in and stepped on the gas, " I am sorry" he smiled " I just, you, I was confused." Gil looked at Catherine as they pulled into her driveway. " Thank you Gil" she smiled " Do you want to come in for a b little bit?" Gil smiled " Sure, just for a while, we both could use a nap." Gil turned off the ignition and jumped out of the vehicle, they both headed for the house when they heard the squeal of tires and a black van drove up on the sidewalk and on to Catherine 's front lawn. Two men jumped out and reached for Catherine being successful in grabbing her they pulled her to the van, Catherine started to scream and claw at the man who was dragging her. The other man ran to Gil and restrained him from helping her. After Catherine was in the van, the man holding Gil down threw videotape at him and ran back to the van.
