The next morning, Roxie woke up to see Warrick staring intently at her with a slight smile playing at his lips. She raised an eyebrow.
"What is it," she asked.
"Is your hair naturally blue?"
She laughed; it was the most absurd question that she had ever been asked. "No, of course not, where on earth did that question come from?"
"I have no idea, but it was in my head, so I asked."
She kissed him lightly, and then she ran her hand along his chest, tracing his muscular body. Her face became more serious. "What are we doing," she asked. "I know you said that you want this to be serious last night, but are you still sure?"
He put one hand on her face, and he said, "More than anything else, I know that I want you in my life." Then he kissed her, which she eagerly reciprocated.
When they stopped kissing she said, "I wonder if Ell is at the hotel by now, I don't want her to worry about me, I should call her cell."
"Go ahead," he replied, and then she got out of the bed. He watched her curvy form as she walked into the other room to get her purse, and after he put shorts on he followed. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her as she talked on the phone to Ellie. She leaned back into him, and though he couldn't hear most of their conversation, what he did hear was intriguing to him.
"Ellie found herself a guy," Roxie said when she hung up. She twirled herself around so that she was facing him, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Really, who?"
"Jake Michaels, apparently he's Catherine's nephew. Ell said that they met on the dance floor, and they spent the night at his place. She is totally fawning over him like I am over you, and she says that he's a school teacher."
"Well, he should be a good influence on her," he said softly as he leaned his head down towards her lips.
"Yeah, I'm just glad that she's as happy as I am," she breathed as their lips connected again. After kissing for a long time, she finally broke it and said, "I'm hungry." Before he could kiss her again she pushed him back slightly, and she said with a smile, "I meant food."
He smiled too, and he said, "Ok, I'll get you something to eat, you should probably get dressed."
"Ok, but so should you."
So after kissing again they both got dressed, and while Roxie was getting washed up in the bathroom, Warrick was making breakfast. While they were eating Warrick asked, "How did you get your name?"
She laughed and said, "You do ask the strangest questions. Have you ever seen the play, or the movie 'Chicago'?"
"Yeah."
"My parents named me after the main character. I guess they wanted me to live a life of crime or something."
Warrick just laughed. When they finished she went back to her hotel.
Warrick and Roxie spent a lot of time together in the four weeks between the Grissom and Catherine's wedding and the wedding of Greg and Lydia. They had a lot of fun together. They went to parks, casinos, clubs, and exhibits; they also spent quite a bit of time at his house. They even spent time with other couples from the lab like Nick and Sara, and Greg and Lydia. They also spent time with Jake and Ellie and Grissom and Catherine. They enjoyed every moment of the time they spent together, but after awhile she had to go back to her home in San Francisco. They parted at the airport gate, where he gave her a very passionate kiss, which caused Ellie, who was leaving with her, to laugh. Ellie also said good bye to her boyfriend Jake.
Warrick couldn't stand not being around Roxie, and the same was true of her, so when they could manage to get to one another they did. She was seeing if she could transfer to Vegas, but as it was there were already two tox analysts, which was all that were accepted on the payroll. After three months of wanting to move to Vegas Roxie was given a chance, one of the analysts retired, so they offered her the job.
Roxie accepted, and then she and Ellie moved out to the city where they had gotten jobs to be closer to their boyfriends. Roxie of course was excited to be working next to her best friend Lydia and her boyfriend Warrick.
After she had been living there for two months Roxie moved in with Warrick. Everyone thought that Warrick and Roxie were moving way too fast, after all they had only known one another for six months, but that didn't matter to the two of them. Physically, mentally, and emotionally they were perfect for one another. Their friends approved of the relationship, mainly due to the sincerity of their devotion to one another, but still they were a little leary of such a quick attachment.
Of course Warrick and Roxie fought, which isn't uncommon in relationships, and more than once they had wanted to break up, but they worked through those rough patches, and they enjoyed living together.
TBC…
For those who are curious, Lydia is the daughter of Grissom and Catherine, she is 24 and she married Greg. Roxie has dyed blue hair because I think it's cool. And I say that Warrick has blue eyes based off of a TV Guide cover from March that he was on where his eyes are blue.
PS. I am on hiatus, so this won't be updated for awhile!
