Title: Wonderful Tonight
Author: xoxobabe (olivia)
Rating: T (could be changed later)
Disclaimer: CSI does not belong to me and sadly will never will. Warrick and Catherine don't belong to me. If Warrick did, he would still be alive on CSI. I've decided to add other people from CSI into my story, however, I'm not sure who exactly but whoever I do use, they don't belong to me.
Summary: After Nick is buried alive and saved, Warrick takes time to think about everything in his life and what he wants in his life in the present and further down the road.

Responses to Reviews:

Jane: Glad you like it or are at least interested in reading more to see if it really is your type of story. You'll find out soon who he called.
Twiggy: It's good I caught your attention. I was hoping it would come off that way rather than a boring start with just a description and a very small beginning. And I'm not offended that you wouldn't read my story just because of the pairings. I don't read stories, no matter how good people say they are, if they're not my preferred couple. I just don't see the Nick/Sara or Nick/Greg pairing. Oh well. Hopefully you'll continue to think I'm doing a good job.
Reela4ever: Glad you liked the beginning. Warrick and Catherine are one of those couples the writers wouldn't put together for some reason yet there's always something between them. Luckily you're not the only one who notices this and others are willing to write something for the fans of them.

Chapter 2

The next morning Warrick woke up and remembered he had finally gave in and made the call. Thankfully, due to the call, he was able to get an uninterrupted sleep that night. He got himself out of bed, took a shower, and grabbed his keys and his cellphone. He wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast. For one, he was going to Starbucks and if he was that hungry, he knew he could get something in there. Sure it wouldn't be anything big but it was something. And secondly, he wasn't in the mood to eat. He had something bigger on his mind and until he settled it, he knew he wouldn't be the same as he had been in the past. Those same thoughts would continue to plague his mind like an annoying mosquito bite.

He drove for what seemed like an eternity until he arrived at his destination. With the engine turned off, he sat there for a few moments making sure this was what he really wanted. After this next conversation he would be having, he knew there would be no turning back. At least not for her even if he wanted to take it all back. He sighed deeply and got out of his car.

He looked around and noticed the street was kind of empty, which surprised him. Normally it was busy at this time of morning. People were just getting up and heading into work for the day or stopping at a coffee shop or bagel shop on their way to work. He walked into the coffee shop and looked around until he saw who he was looking for. He found her at one of the tables along the wall and walked over to her.

The girl smiled and got up. "Warrick. I got you a cup of coffee." She offered

Warrick smiled back, even though he didn't feel the same as she did. "Hi Tina. Thanks." He took a seat across from her after she sat down. He took a quick sip of the hot coffee in front of him and looked at her seriously. "We need to talk."

"Okay. That's why you called me late last night, or rather early this morning. Is everything okay?" She asked, starting to worry about him.

Warrick sighed, not knowing where to start. "You remember that Nick was abducted a week ago right and we rescued him right?"

Tina just nodded her head, not sure where this was going. Had he wanted to talk about his feelings about Nick? If he did, she would listen and help him out. Afterall, they were dating now. "He's okay now though isn't he?" She asked, just to make sure. Maybe something else had happened and he needed to talk to her about it and be comforted.

Warrick quickly shook his head. "No he's fine now. Well what could be expected anyway. He's taking some time off though."

"That's good."

Warrick felt like he was going around what he came here to say. He started off the way he wanted to but then Tina started asking him questions. "The reason why I came here, Tina, was because I needed to talk to you about our relationship." Tina was about to speak but stopped when he put his hand out. "Just listen to me for a second." When she nodded, he continued. "Sorry. I don't mean to be rude. These past few days I've been thinking about the present and future. I was thinking about how I wanted to see myself and who I want to spend the rest of my life with."

At those last few words, Tina smiled, and even though she was told to let him talk, she did anyway. "Warrick is this going where I think it's going?"

Warrick looked down, not able to look her in the eyes. "Probably not." He looked up at her in time to see her smile turn into a frown. "We're going out now but I just can't seem to see you in my future. I just think that there's someone else who is supposed to be there with me instead of you."

Tina felt as if she was about to cry, but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She didn't know if Warrick wanted her to or not by saying there was someone else. He could have just told her she wasn't the right fit for him.

"I'm really sorry. I really don't think you want to here this but I want to be completely honest with you. This other person I've known for awhile now and throughout those years I've never done anything about how I felt. I think the whole ordeal with Nick just put things into perspective for me. You're a great girl, don't get me wrong. If I met you awhile ago before I met her, I'm sure things would be different."

Tina nodded. "So you're breaking up with me then?"

Warrick nodded. "I'm sorry. It's for the better."

Tina stood up, grabbed her purse and looked down at him. "We've only been going out for a small amount of time but in that time I felt like we really had something. Guess I was wrong." With that she walked out of the coffee shop, leaving Warrick sitting there.

Author's Note: Hope you liked that chapter. It's longer than the other one but not the longest chapter there is out there in other stories. But look at it this way, there's more of a cliffhanger, hopefully making you want more. And more updates and chapters. And he called Tina instead of Catherine. Technically I own and don't own Tina. Confusing I know. They only mentioned her a few times and I don't remember her being on the show at all. I'm glad I actually took time to write the story. I had this idea for about a week or two but I wasn't sure how to start it and how long I wanted it to be. At first I thought it sounded more like a oneshot but as I was writing that first chapter I guess more chapters just kind of came to me. Anyway hopefully you'll update. Reviews make me want to update faster.
