Well I made up my mind
Not gonna let you get away
To think that I'm the lucky guy
I've almost got it made
I have sweaty palms.
Not a very attractive prospect to greet Catherine with. 'Hi Catherine, I'm in love with you. Here, let me hold your hand with my sweaty one.'
Pathetic, Grissom. Just pathetic.
It's been a very long evening in the labs tonight. Nick and Sara are sniping at each other, but in a very peculiar way. Almost as if they were…
No. I've got enough on my plate handling my own romantic intentions. No need for me to go in that direction.
Greg has lost his mind. Well, more than usual.
Warrick is flirting with some new lab tech.
And now I'm getting a migraine.
Cause it's been so long
Since I've felt so strong
About anyone at all
I get so excited
I ain't gonna fight it
I think I might be fallin' in love
I close the door to my office, turning off all the lights and just lie down for a moment.
I should really go home, but I can't.
Because I know Catherine will be here.
I want to wait. I want to see her before I go home. Before I decide how I'm going to tell her I love her.
So come on - let's get it right
Cause you're the only one
So come on - we ain't got all night
Cause you're the only one
Last night
I thought you mighta stayed
If I'd a' had the guts
I woulda pushed my luck
But then you mighta turned away
I get paged by Greg, and I groan, getting up from my comfortable position.
As I walk down, I start to think of ways I can tell Catherine I'm in love with her.
"Hi Cath. How was your trip? I'm in love with you."
Stupid, stupid.
"You know Cath, I've always felt very strongly about our relationship…"
What relationship, Grissom?
How do I explain
I know it sounds insane
But then I've been through this before
In just a matter of time
You could change your mind
You could turn and walk right hrough that door
I think I'm just going to come out and say it.
"I'm in love with you, Cath."
"Grissom!"
The sweating increases. I look up and she's there. Right there. Standing in front of me, a soft smile gracing her delicate features. Please, oh please, say she didn't hear me.
"Welcome home, Cath," I stammer out.
She grins. "Thanks. The conference was great. The hotel not so great, but we can fix that next time, right?"
"Right," I nod, my mouth suddenly dry.
"Oh, I wanted to ask you a favour."
God, anything.
"Come for dinner tonight? Just you and me?"
I clasp my palms together. Not going to let her see I'm a teenage boy again. I push my glasses up my nose. Damn.
"Of course," I agree. "What about Lindsey?"
"Lindsey is at a sleepover tonight, can you believe it? The night I come home, she has plans." Catherine rolls her eyes. "Entering those teenage years, you know?"
Not really.
"Anyway, I'll see you tonight, okay? Bye!" She waves a hand in the air and disappears down the hallway before I can get a word out.
I think I'm in trouble.
So come on - let's get it straight
Cause you're the only one
So come on - I just can't wait
Cause you're the only one
