Disclaimer: Not mine, never has been, never will be.
A/N: I have great trouble writing Catherine's POV, so this is very short, but I needed to get it out of my brain.
Pairing: N/S
Beauty versus Brains or both........
She thought she would never admit it, but she envies Sara. She can't help having these thoughts while she observes the way Nick Stokes looks at her. No man has ever looked at her like that.
Yes, she knows she is beautiful. The men in her life have told that her so many times. One time a suspect even requested her to investigate his case, because she was the pretty one. Contrary to what people may think she wasn't pleased by those events. She remembers asking Sara if her father ever told her she was beautiful. Sara answered positively after hesitating for a second, but she answered her immediately when she asked her if her father ever told her she was smart. No man has ever told her she is smart, not on their own anyway.
Almost all men at the lab, who belong to the smartest in the US maybe even the world, seem to have a crush on Sara. That says it all.
She wonders if Sara knows how lucky she is. She knows that everyone has their dark painful secrets Sara included, probably especially Sara, but at least Sara has someone to share them with while she is left all alone, alone with her secrets.
Sara may not know it, but she has it all and even though she knows jealousy is not a great feature to have she can't help herself being jealous of the fact that men also notice the brains while observing Sara and only observe her beauty while observing her. Her beauty which is fading fast with age.
Jealousy, no, it's not a great feature, but she can't help feeling just that while watching Nick Stokes look at Sara with pure adoration in his eyes before he pulls her into his arms. Something which may get him fired when discovered, but he doesn't seem to care about any of that.
