Chapter 2
Everyone was sitting in the booth at the diner just down the street from the lab. The only person they were waiting on was of course Gil Grissom. They were starting to wonder if they should just order their food but Catherine told them that he will show. Catherine knew that he would show because he knew that if he didn't he would have a very upset Catherine Willows on his hands and that was something that he didn't like. They have been sitting there for almost 20 minutes when he finally showed up and took a seat next to Catherine. "Sorry I'm late guys" The rest of the team nodded and Greg spoke up "We were fixing to order with out you." The team nodded their heads in agreement. "Well I'm here now so let's order" Everyone picked up their menus and started flipping through them. Gil glanced at Catherine and Catherine shot him a glance saying he will explain later. Gil nodded his head and went back to his menu. It only took them 5 minutes for all of them to decide what they wanted to eat. Nick motioned the waitress over. Greg started "I'll take the Grand Slam with an English muffin and my eggs scrambled." The waitress wrote it down along with everyone else's orders. Nick and Warrick ordered Eggs Benedict Sara ordered a veggie wrap and Gil and Catherine ordered pancakes. They talked as they waited for their food. Nick gave Sara a look and Sara nodded. "You guy's me and Sara have something that we want to tell you." Nick smiled at Sara then looked back at everyone else. Sara and Nick entwined their fingers together. "Me and Nick have been dating for 3 months now" They both smiled brightly and the rest of the table erupted in congrats and smiles. "Congrats you too it's about time" Warrick said to the couple making both Sara and Nick laugh. "Yeah you guys congrats" Catherine smiled and Gil nodded his head. "It's about time you guys said something. You know how hard it was to keep that to myself?" Gil, Catherine, and Warrick looked at Greg with looks on their face saying "and you didn't say anything' Greg shrugged. "They told me not to say anything"
Right as their food came Nick's cell phone went off. "Stokes. Hey mom. Umm why? Oh. Ok ill get right on it. Love you too bye." Nick hung up and sighed. "Sorry ya'll I have to go buy a present for my sister now if I want it to get there in time. "The nodded and said goodbye and Nick got up and left smiling to him self. A minute later Sara's cell phone went off. "Sidle" she answered. "Oh my god Stephanie! How are you? Really? Well I'm busy but… ok bye" She hung up. "He guys a friend of mine I haven't seen in forever I sin Vegas and this is the only time I can see her. I'll see you later" Sara got up in left saying goodbye. 2 down 2 to go. Greg's cell phone was the next to ring. He took his cell from his pocket and smiled when he looked at the collar ID. He flipped it open and smiled again. "Hey baby. What's wrong? Ok yeah ill be there soon. Love you too" He hangs up and sighs. "Guys Jamie needs me. Something happened today. I have to go I'm sorry" He stood up and put his jacket on and walked out of the diner. Warrick was the only left. He was looking through his phone and mumbled. "Shit. I totally forgot." He looked at Gil and Catherine "Me and Tina have a meeting with our marriage counselor and I was supposed to be there 10 minutes ago" "Its ok Warrick go ahead" Gil said understanding.
Now it was only Gil and Catherine left. Catherine smiled and Gil smiled back. Catherine was telling herself over and over that she needed to tell him how she felt. Gil was also doing the same thing. 'Gil you have to tell her. Now do it now. She looks so beautiful. But she always looks beautiful. Even in sweats and an old t-shirt. Her lips. God I love those lips. They look so soft and smooth.' 'Catherine tell him. Just open your mouth and let the words come out. That man and the affects he has on me. He looks so good just sitting there. And his beard is a big bonus. His boyish features, those lips, God how I would love to kiss those lips.' "Catherine… I have something I have to tell you." Gil looks down at his hands then back at Catherine "Catherine we have been friends for so long. I love and value our friend ship. But I don't want us to be friends anymore. I..." "I'm sorry Gil you don't want to be friends anymore?" "Catherine let me finish" He held a hand up and then put it back down. "I don't want us to be friends because I want us to be more then friends. I love you Catherine. I have for a while now I can't take us not being more then friends. It's driving me crazy." Catherine had tears in her eyes but she fought them back and listened to Gil's every word. He hearts was skipping beats and the urge to kiss him was becoming stronger. "I love you Catherine Willows and I want to be with you." He looked at her his palms sweating and his heart racing. After a few seconds and Catherine took everything in a big smile broke out on her face "Gil you have no idea how long I have been waiting to hear you say that. I have wanted us to be more then friends with you for a while now. I love you Gil. I love you so much." Gil smiled brightly. The next thing they heard was the entire diner clapping and cheering for them. They blushed and smiled. They finished eating and went back to Catherine's house.
Catherine walked to the couch with 2 cups of coffee in hand. She handed one to Gil and kept the other one for her self. She took a seat next to him and smiled setting her cup down on the coffee table. "Gil I had a nice time at breakfast. A really nice time." Gil smiled and set his coffee cup next to hers. "I did to Catherine." He smiled and cupped her cheek with his hand. He closed the space between their faces kissing her softly and with care. Soon Catherine had her arms wrapped around him and his her. The kiss started to heat up and they soon started removing each others clothes. This was both something that they have wanted for a while. 2 hours later Catherine was laying in Gils arms the comforter on the ground and they tangled up in the sheets both sweaty and smiling. "That was amazing" Catherine smiled at him and kissed him softly. Gil smiled and kissed her back "It was amazing." Neither one of them have ever been happier. Catherine felt like she could walk on water if she wanted to and Gil felt like he was god himself. They lay there in silence listening to each others breathing. It wasn't until the phone rang that Catherine moved. She reached across Gil and picked up the phone. "Hello." It was Brass. They had a scene and she did not want to go. She fake coughed but it sounded really. She grounded slightly and sniffled. "Sorry Brass I think that I got food poisoning from breakfast. Ok bye" She hung up and smiled "Am I a genius or what?" She laughed and so did Gil "That's so true baby." He smiled and kissed her deeply but sighed when his cell phone started ringing. It was in the living room so he got up still and walked to the living room naked. He used the same excuse as Catherine and hung up. He went back to Catherine's bed and lay down and pulled her into his arms. "So beautiful what do you want to do sense we don have to work?" She smiled and nuzzled her head into his neck and mumbled "Lay here with you and kiss you." He smiled and she laughed softly. "I think we can manage that." He began to kiss her neck and she giggled.
