Keep in mind Catherine, Gil, Eddie ... everyone's young in these chapters. Cause remeber. 'Back in Catherine's stripping days..' so they have to be at least... 25 or 26? 24 at the least. KAY. Just wanted to point that out. lol.

Catherine stood there in the shower and let the water pour down on her. She closed her eyes and leaned against the tiled wall. She thought that maybe things were changing. She liked Gil a lot, but he probably wasn't interested in a stripper. She thought that the only reason he could've possibly let her stay was because he felt sorry for her. She sighed and turned off the water.

Gil was standing there infront of the mirror. He had just gotten out of the shower and was drying his hair with a towel. He had on his pajama pants and no shirt. He thought that Catherine would still be in the shower so he would have time to run to his room and find a shirt. He threw the towel over his shoulder and turned off the lights.

Catherine had just finished putting on the shirt Gil had got for her. It was too big, like she said, but she kept the shirt on. The pants looked hilarious on her, so she just decided the shirt was long enough for her to sleep in. It stopped at her mid thigh and was a dark blue with FORENSICS written on the back in bold, white letters. Catherine giggled as she turned around and saw the words in the mirror. She dryed her hair with the towel, threw it in his hamper, and turned off the lights.

Gil was walking down the hall when he looked down at his pajama pants. They were dragging on the floor and sagging on his hips. He smirked at the image. Catherine was walking out of the bathroom when she ran into Gil. Catherine almost lost her balance and leaned forward. Gil reached out with both arms and wrapped them around her waist before she could fall. He brought her back up to him and smiled at her clothes. She smiled at him and noticed he didn't have a shirt on. She focused on his eyes but it was getting difficult for her.

"I guess I need to watch where I'm going, huh?"

"Oh no my dear, I'm the one who ran into YOU."

"I um ... I like this shirt." Catherine said smiling. Gil's arms were still wrapped around her waist. Neither one noticed how close they were standing.

"I thought you would." He brought her closer and she smiled.

"Gil?"

"Hmm?"

"What are we doing?" Catherine slowly rested her arms on his shoulders and smiled. They slowly rocked back and forth.

"I thought I would give you a goodnight kiss."

"Hmm. Really?"

"Well ... yeah." He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. The height difference made the sight adorable if you were there to witness. She put both of her hands on the sides of his face.

"Look at me." She whispered softly and smiled. He looked at her and lost himself. She stood on her toes and softly kissed him on the lips. His arms pulled her closer. She smiled and pulled away. "Are you sure you want this?"

"Hmm?" Gil said as he tried to concentrate. Not only did he have a beautiful woman in his arms, he was kissing her. He never got what he want. But tonight, tonight was different.

"Are you sure. About this?"

"Catherine... I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life."

"Hmm. Gil?"

"Huh?"

"Not... not tonight. It would make me feel... like a slut. Tomorrow. Okay?"

"If that's what you want... but Catherine... don't ever think that again. You're beautiful, smart, and you're NOT a slut." Catherine smiled. Gil wasn't like the others. He didn't force her to do anything she didn't want to do. Instead, he grabbed her hand and led her to his bedroom. He opened the door and led Catherine in. She stopped dead in her tracks. The room was beautiful. The window was open with the curtains blowing. The bed and sheets were light colored. The walls were painted a beautiful color and everything was right in place. He came up behind her and whispered in her ear. "What side of the bed do you want?"

"Gil? I could go in that other..."

"Oh no you don't. You're coming with me." Gil bent down and picked Catherine up. He threw her over his shoulders. She giggled and screamed.

"Gil Grissom! Put me down this instant!"

"Alrighty. If you say so..." He dropped her on the bed and smiled as she crawled to the left side. She grabbed one of the pillows behind her and snuggled up to it. She looked outside the window and stared at the sky. He slowly crawled on the bed and watched her. She turned her head and smiled as she saw how close he was. He propped himself up on the head board and grabbed her arm softly. He pulled her onto his chest and smiled as she snuggled up to him.

"Hmm. No one I've been with has ever done this..."

"Well they must of not cared about you as much as I do..." Catherine giggled. She turned around and faced him.

"Do you have to work tomorrow?"

"Nope. But I am on call, though."

"Call?"

"If a case comes in, I have to take it..."

"Oh. I knew that." Catherine said smiling into Gil's chest.

"Well what about you? Don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Are you kidding! Tomorrow's Saturday!"

"Oh yeah. I forgot. Most normal people are off on the weekends." Gil said bringing his hand to his forehead and shaking his head.

"You are normal. You're better than normal. You're unique."

"Catherine... I'm far from normal. I'm far from unique, too. I'm more..."

"Gil Grissom. Don't you dare say 'weird'."

"I'm more... weird!" Gil said smirking. Catherine rolled over and pinned him to the matress.

"Gil... you're not weird. You're just... extremely intrested in what you do. That's all..."

"Says the one who pins her boyfriend to a matress!"

"Oh. So I'm you're girlfriend now, huh?"

"Oh. Well ... I mean..."

"No. It's cute. I'm you're girlfriend. I'm Gil Grissom's girlfriend. You're MY boyfriend. You are property of Catherine Willows." Catherine said giggling.

"Cath... you feelin' okay?"

"Couldn't be better. Why you ask?"

"Babe... I think you need sleep."

"Well wait. I wanted to ask you something..." Gil looked at her and nodded. She sat on his stomach and moved the hair out of her eyes. "My friend... she's having this pool party tomorrow. And well... she's been planning it for a long time and I promised her I would go... but sense I'll be with you, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to..."

"I'd love to..."

"I didn't even ask the question!" Catherine said with a big smile.

"You didn't need to... I knew where it was going..."

"You... you ARE unique." Catherine said climbing off of him and snuggling up to his side. He wrapped and arm around her and kissed the top of her head.

"If I'm unique... then what are you?"

"Very sleeply..." Gil chucked and pulled her closer. "Goodnight, Cath."

"Goodnight, oh so wonderful boyfriend of mine." Catherine said giggling before snuggling up to his side again.

Eddie waited outside the driveway of Alison's house for the 6th time this week. It was almost 1 AM and Catherine still wasn't back from work. Alison was pulling into her driveway and sighed as she saw Eddie was parked in her driveway. She got out of her car and slammed the door. She stuck her head through his opened window.

"Eddie... go home."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know, Eddie! Damnit! I'm not her mother!" Eddie got out of his car and slammed the door.

"I've been here almost all week and she's been ignoring me!"

"Well I guess so! She caught you sleeping with someone else! That would sure nip me in the ass, Ed!"

"She's going to take me back. I know it, Alison! You wait and see!"

"Sure Eddie... sure." Alison was walking to the house when Eddie ran up to her, grabbed her by her wrists, and pinned her to the garage door. Alison's boyfriend, Brent, ran outside.

"Eddie! Damnit! Let her go!" Brent said walking towards Alison and Eddie. Eddie looked back and sighed. He let Alison go but blocked her way from Brent.

"When you see her... tell her I'm waiting..." Eddie said walking back to his car and speeding off. Alison's daughter, Lynn, ran out and pushed Brent out of the way.

"Mommy!"

"Hey baby..."

"Mommy... why was Mr. Eddie in our driveway again?"

"Cause Ms. Catherine won't take him back, baby. That's all... Ms. Catherine is just too good for him, Lynnie."

"Ms. Catherine? Ms. Catherine's nice, Mommy. Where is she, anyways?" Alison giggled and picked up her daughter.

"I don't know, baby. I don't know..."

"Is she coming to your party tomorrow, Mom?"

"Maybe. Now... get yourself back in that bed, kiddo." Lynn jumped out of her mother's arms and ran back to her room. Tomorrow ... was going to be a long day.
