Thanks to all who reviewed! I promise that it will be interesting, in my opinion at least. Here is chapter 2.

Nick was just heading towards the lab when he saw something that made him think he was crazy. He closed his eyes for a bit and looked again. The image was still there.

„Warrick, did you see that?"

Warrick looked up from his papers and gave him a questioned look. „See what?"

„Catherine just kissed Greg in the lab."

„So? She has pecked me sometimes. Maybe he got the results she was waiting for."

„No, not in that way. I'm telling you, real passionately. With tongue."

But Warrick gave him another unbelievable look and said, „There is no way Cath is kissing Greg. I mean, look at him."

They both looked at the lab and saw what Nick had seen. Only now Catherine was also sitting in his lap.

Warrick's eyebrows raised and eyes widened. „What the..."

Just then Catherine gave Greg another quick kiss, took some papers and left.

Nick and Warrick made their way to the lab.

„Greg, what was that all about?" Warrick asked in a very curious voice.

But he didn't seem to understand, „What was what about?"

„Did you just kiss Catherine?"

„Uhuh," he answered in a real stern voice. Then he looked at their stunned expressions and added, „We're dating, didn't you know?"

The look on their faces was priceless. It was a mixture of surprise, inbelief and confusion.

„You and Cath? Catherine Willows, senior CSI and Greg Sanders? There is no way I'm believing that until..." he stopped mid-sentence realizing his mistake.

„Until you see that? I guess that's the reason you're here the first place. Besides, what's wrong with that picture?"

Nick intruded, „She is not quite your age, Greg. You could be her son."

„Hey, we are over the age issues, okay? Numbers are not what matter, feelings are. Now, if you please excuse me, I still need to work, not discuss my lovelife with you."

The two CSI-s left, not quite sure in what they had just heard.

„That is just..." Nick started.

„Yeah, exactly."

Grissom stepped out of his office and nearly stumbled on the two.

„What are you two doing standing here?"

„We just saw..." Nick started but decided to ask directly. „Do you know anything about Cath dating Greg?"

The look in Grissom's eyes was priceless. „Yes, apparently they are dating and very happy about it."

„You heard it from Greg?"

„Heard is not the right word, I saw them. And Catherine also cared to explain."

He took off but Warrick stopped him. „But isn't it wrong? I mean, they are clearly not ment for each other."

„Warrick, it's her life, she can take care of it herself. And I recommend you two stay out of it as well."

XOXOXO

„I can't believe it! What does she possibly find in him?" While in his office, Grissom didn't try to hide his anger about Greg and Catherine and lay it all out to Sara.

„Geez, I don't know, maybe there's something we're not seeing. Why does this bother you so much?"

„Because, Greg is not right for her. I mean, doesn't it bother you?"

„Not really. I couldn't care less about Catherine's lovelife than I already do," she replied but not quite honestly. She didn't care about Catherine's, but she did care of Greg. Really, what was he doing with her? she thought to herself. Who should he be with then? You? But she was with Grissom like she wanted. Or did she really?

„I just can't believe how irresponsible she can be! To date Greg who is a colleague and younger than she is."

„Well, if you think about it, then we don't actually have any right to be critizising them. I mean, we are also colleagues and we have an age difference..." her voice trailed off.

„It's not the same. Catherine tried to excuse herself the same way but you and I are different."

„Could we change the subject, please? I'm tried of talking about it." Her voice sounded a bit irritated.

„This is important to me, Sara. I don't want Greg hurting Catherine."

„Why are you so certain that Greg will hurt her? He knows how to treat someone. And why does it bug you so much? Catherine can handle herself well." Not only was she now irritated, she was getting angry and frustrated.

„Should I be sorry for caring for her?"

„No, but if you care so much, why are you with me and not her?" she asked angrily and left, slamming the door.

Catherine looked in wondering as Sara exited and continued to evidence room. There she met up with Warrick who decided to figure out the whole Greg-Catherine relationship thing.

„Hey, Cath, can I ask you something?"

„Sure. What is it?"

„What is going on between you and Greg?"

That certainly took her off-guard – she hadn't expected that.

„Well, we are dating if that's what you're asking."

„Sorry for asking like this, but why Greg?"

She looked at him in amusement and answered, „Why not? And don't dare to tell me he is too young or I'm too old. I don't want to hear it."

He raised his hands, „Okay. I'll go then."

XOXOXO

„It seems we have nailed two at once. Grissom and Sara are buying it and now Nick and Warrick as well," Greg told Catherine as they were in the break room.

„Now we just have to wait."

„For what?"

„For them to realize what is it they want."

„But what if... what if they don't realize. I mean, how long are we going to continue this? I must admit, I secretly am enjoying this – you are a good kisser – but..."

„I understand what you're trying to say. But I think they are both intelligent people and will realize."

The same moment Sara stepped in. When she saw them together she wanted to run away but willed herself to stay.

„Hey, guys. What are you doing?" she tried to speak as casual as possible.

„Just having lunch," Catherine answered, a bit amused of Sara's acting.

Greg stood and said, „But my lunch is over or Grissom will have me for lunch if I don't finish testing. See you later, Willow." He gently kissed her and left.

Sara needed even more self control to sit down next to Catherine and have her lunch. They ate in silence for awhile until Sara couldn't hold herself any more.

„Catherine, why are you doing this?" Her question came a bit of a surprise to Catherine.

„What do you mean under 'this'?" she asked cautiously.

She snorted. „Dating Greg."

„Well, why shouldn't I? We enjoy each other's company."

„How do you see this relationship going? You are two of the most different persons I can think of. I mean, how did you even start?"

„It just sort of... happened. I started to think of him differently and decided to give him a chance. And I don't know where this is going, we're taking things slow. As for different... I don't think you're the right person to say that to me."

„How come?"

Catherine gave her the you-know-what-I-mean-look. „I see nothing similar in you and Grissom but I still don't come saying that in your face."

„Our relationship is a different thing. We are very much alike and we like each other as well."

Catherine leaned forward and looked straight in her eyes. „Really? Can you honestly say you love him more than anything and you would give anything for him? If he asked you tomorrow to leave this behind and go away with him, would you then?"

She saw hesitation and question in Sara's eyes as she had thought. „Let me tell you what I think. When you came here, Grissom was sort of a father-figure to you, father you didn't have. You looked up at him and fell in love. But not with him but an ideal image you had created of him – the person that doesn't really exist. Now you're with him, you achieved your goal but – there always is a but – it isn't what you expected. Because in reality you don't know him and are just fooling yourself. Think about it."

She stood up and left Sara behind who was very astonished at what she had just heard.

In the doorway Catherine stopped. „By the way, if Grissom asked me to leave everything I would, without thinking for a second. And I am just his friend."

Give me something so I could go on tomorrow :)
