Chapter 3: Forever and For Always
A few hours later at a motel somewhere in Idaho.
Catherine enters the room and puts her bag on the bed.
"So you wanna go to bed right now or shell we eat something before?"
"We should definitely eat before and I'm not that tired right now, you?"
"Not really, so let's go"
She grabs her purse and they leave the room.
"I saw there's a diner down the street"
"Sounds nice"
Few minutes later they walk into the diner.
"We'd like to have two turkey club sandwiches without bacon, and a bottle of orange juice for take-away please"
"That's 6,95$, Sir"
Gil gives the money to the waitress.
"Thanks"
A few minutes later they leave the diner.
"Why don't we eat there, Gil?"
"Well take-away is cheaper and I have a bottle of vodka in my car and I thought we could eat outside near the motel, I mean it's pretty warm, isn't it?"
"Sounds great, so where from did you know I like turkey club sandwiches without bacon?"
"I just assumed it, you are like the turkey without bacon person."
"How so?"
"Well you told me you don't like bacon, earlier today"
"But I didn't tell you I like turkey"
"Everyone from Montana likes turkey and if you wouldn't like it I could have eaten it"
"Don't you dare just think about that", she pinches him in his arm.
"But I am right"
"Yea, you are"
They eat in silence until Cath starts laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing it's just, well, boy and girl, outside on a warm summer night, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, moonlight shining bright, if we where in a movie you'd say something romantically now"
He stands up, turns on the radio in his car, he walks back to her and holds his hand out for her, "May I have this dance?"
Again laughing she stands up and puts her hand on his back.
She rests her head on his chest.
Slowly they sway to the music filling the air with love.
"Penny for you thoughts Cath"
"I was just thinking how perfect today is"
"It definitely is."
He puts a hand under her chin and turns her face to him and looks deep in her blue eyes.
Only a few inches apart from her face he asks her, "May I kiss you?"
She seriously says, "You don't need to ask that, do you?"
Just then he brushes her lips with his and they share their first long passionate kiss.
Right after the kiss he sees tears streaming down her face.
"What did I do wrong Cath?", he asks her, his arms still around her waist.
"Nothing, that's what's wrong, it's just perfect"
"Then what's the problem Cath?"
"We have nothing more than four weeks and well…I..I.."
"Don't Cath, please don't cry, everything's fine, I told you I'll come down to Vegas as soon as I can"
"It's just that I don't know how long I won't see you then"
"I promised you that and for now I'm here with you, so let's make it the best twenty-eight days of our life"
He wipes away her tears and a smile forms on her lips,
"K, promise me I won't ever loose you"
"You'll never loose me, Cath"
"Good, where were we?", she asks before kissing him again.
"I love you Gil Grissom", she says.
"I love you Catherine Grissom", he says and sees her puzzled expression. He then explains to her,
"Promise me that someday you'll be mine forever, not now, but someday"
"I promise, I will, Gil, I really like the sound of Catherine Grissom, but let's not tell anyone else"
"K, then I'm the only one aloud to call you Mrs. Grissom for now."
"I really like the sound of it."
"So every year on this day we'll celebrate the anniversary of the marriage of our minds, k?"
"And someday I'll promise I'll be all yours, officially"
"So may I have this kiss Mrs. Catherine Grissom?"
"I think you can have this kiss forever, Mr. Grissom"
Surrounded by the moonlight those two stand there slowly swaying into the night.
Two glasses filled with vodka and orange-juice long forgotten on the sidewalk next to his car.
