AN: This is the last chapter, I MIGHT do a sequel later on, depends if people actually want the story to continue.

Nick brought Sara to a restaurant rear Sara's apartment building that she had never been to. It was a tiny, growing restaurant with a beautiful view of the sunset. It was a warm night, the kind that you didn't need to wear a coat of any sort. Nick was being the biggest gentleman Sara had ever seen him act before. He'd open doors for her, pull out chairs, he even took her order for her before she could even look at the menu. He said it was because he had the entire night planned out right down to the food. Sara was glad, it was nice to be treated to something instead of having to chase after it herself. She took comfort in the fact that she won't always have to fight against someone for his or her relationship but to see that Nick was right there with her.

After about 10 minutes after they arrived waiters brought out various kinds of vegetable entry from lasagna to stir fry to fresh vegetable salad. They eat and talked and enjoyed each other's company. Finally after they both had had way too much to eat Nick said, "You wanna walk back to your place? It's close enough."

Staring to get up Sara answered with, "Yeah that sounds really nice."

They both got up and started walking to the front when Nick stopped to pay for their dinner. After he paid they continued their journey back to Sara's apartment. Once they walked out the door Nick put his arm over Sara's shoulder and kissed her forehead. Leaving his head lying onto of Sara's Nick started talking. "You know Sara, I wanna talk to you about something."

Sara putting her arm around the small of Nick's back asked, "What about?"

"I just wanted you to know, that I know how hard relationships have been for you, you know with Hank and Grissom. I just need you to understand I'm not like them. I would never cheat on you and Grissom doesn't know what he turned away. I know that we only dated for a little while the first time but Sara I've liked you since I met you. I just wish I took the risk of telling you sooner." Nick was saying not moving anything but just mouth and legs.

Sara doing the same said, "Nick, I knew from the start you're not like them- you're not like most guys even. You actually know how to treat a woman right and with respect without them losing respect for you. I've always had you in the back of my mind, like the friend that was always there. I didn't want to ruin that friendship. That would have killed me."

"Sara I love you and I don't care who else is out there. I only want you now and probably no one else for a very long time. Wow, we're back at your apartment already." Nick said realized he was walking up to her door. He finally let go of her and looked her in the face.

Staring back at Nick's deep, dark brown eyes Sara said, "I love you too Nick, I'm not going anywhere this time," than kissed him full of passion and love. Nick kissed her back with the same emotions showing through. Sra started to open her door, still kissing Nick, when she finally did they both walked through and shut the door behind them.

After work for Greg and Catherine, they decided to go out for dinner. They both needed to unwind after that case. Turned out the father did do it after all in his own bedroom. They chose a mellow café that served more than coffee. They took a seat at a small table only light by a candle. There was some man playing guitar and singing low. They ordered a drink and than their food. They sat and talked for a little while. While they were waiting Greg brought up the case again.

"How you feeling Catherine? Honestly."

Catherine shifting in her seat and looking at her drink than back at Greg said, "Yeah, no matter how hard I try those cases always get to me."

Greg not keeping his eyes on anything else but Catherine said, "I know what you mean. Those kinds of cases get to me too. I mean how can hurt a kid. They are so innocent and pure. That and husbands hitting their wives."

"God, how could a man do that? Can he at least have a little self-control and take it out in his job or hobby? These kinds of cases disgust me." Catherine said to him in response.

Greg nodded in agreement when the food came and they changed their conversation into something happier. They ate in pretty good moods and got up and danced to the guy playing on the stage in the back of the café. Greg noticed how good it felt to have someone else in his arms weather it is for a couple seconds or a couple minutes. He wasn't fully getting over Sara but being able to infatuate over someone new, someone like Catherine. The music stopped and they had this moment where Catherine had just twirled into Greg's arms and was about to twirl back out when the music stopped and she stood there in Greg's arms and felt comfortable. They stared at each other for a moment or two than walked back to the table with Greg's arm over Catherine. Greg and Catherine both couldn't stop thinking about that one moment where it seems that you should have kissed that person instead of passing it by. That for that moment it was as if they actually liked you, weather it be true or not.

They finished their coffees and paid for their dinner. They headed out Greg looked at Catherine standing their looking for her car. Greg stayed like that for a moment, still starting at Catherine, when she turned and saw the look in his eye. It was something she'd only saw him give Sara. The kind of look like a teenage infatuated with their first love and they can't get enough of them- they can't stare at them long enough. Finally Greg stepped forward and put his lips on hers in one quick easy motion. Before Catherine knew what was happening Greg was massaging her bottom lip than she kissed him back. Shocked that she actually kissed him back after being so forward Greg was in awe. They finally broke apart from each other to get some breath when Greg said still holding her shoulders, "I've been wanting to do that all night."

"I've been wanting to do that for a couple weeks now Greg," Catherine said herself in awe. Greg had never seen her like this before, but why would he have seen her with someone? It's not like Catherine's the type of person to broadcast a lover.

"But Greg, I should really get home to Lindsey." Catherine said with a little disappointment in her voice.

Greg understandingly said, "Alright, you should go see her, but I'm walking you to your car."

Greg healed onto the small of her back while she laid her head on his shoulders. They finally reached her car and Greg put Catherine up against her car door and kissed her a very passionate kiss for goodbye. When they parted Catherine said to Greg while looking straight into his eyes with a kind of lust that can't be described in words, "Bye Greg."

Looking back at her he said, "Bye Catherine."
