CHAPTER 3

Gil Grissom

Hunk laughed, Natalie resisted stealing a glance. The hardest thing she's ever had to do she might add. Natalie didn't want to get caught staring at him…especially at his butt. She was never that girl. The girl who gets caught…unless Natalie was doing it on purpose and her flirt-mode was on high. God, she sounded conceded. So she wouldn't think about it or him she'd just wait, drumming her fingers, and biting her lower lip, a bad, yet seductive habit.

Since the trying-not-to-think-about-it thing was becoming unbearable difficult, she decided to watch the people on the other side of the glassed in room.

A tall, slinky, oh and balding, man was strutting by in the hall. He seemed cocky. And she knew cocky. Her mom's boyfriends all seemed to share that unattractive trait. Which seemed odd her mom always ended up with them, since her dad was the total opposite. Or at least that's what her mom told her, seeing that she never got the chance to meet him.

Natalie felt tears panging at her eyes. Taking a deep breath, Natalie pushed her mom out of her head. Then she pushed away her dad….

"Excuse me, you must be Miss. Kate," a man with a kind but solemn face asked. Natalie had the feeling he was the type who always is thinking of a million problems at once, solving them in his head even while he spoke to her. She even did that sometimes, she would get lost in her thoughts…OH CRAP!! She was doing it now…

" Oh um yeah, sorry. Sometimes I get stuck with all the things floating around in my head…that is a horrible thing to say for an interview," Natalie kicked herself what in god's name was she thinking saying that!!!

The man laughed, "It's okay I have the same problem," Hey I was right… " Gil Grissom," Gil extended his hand to her.

Taking it Natalie again pushed something out of her head, this time her embarrassment. " Natalie Kate, It's nice to meet you."

"Pleasure. Now if you'd follow me to my office we can get started."

Smiling Natalie stood up and followed Mr. Grissom to the door.

All of a sudden Natalie's heart caught her. Or at least she thought it was her heart, maybe it was just her hormones in any case she realized Hunk was standing outside the door she was about to step through.

Without hesitation Natalie met eye contact with Hunk as she passed and CRAP!! She smiled!!! Natalie only meant to look but when he looked back she automatically gave an idiotic Oh-My-God-he-just-looked-at-me smile. UGH!!! What a doofus!!! Natalie horrified, looked up away biting her lower lip.

Natalie kept her eyes down until she had successfully followed Mr. Grissom to his office. Giving in, Natalie stole one more glance at Hunk. Crap he caught her. Actually it was too fast to be positive but she was pretty sure he did catch her. But for him to catch her, she realized, he would of have to be still watching her. What was she worrying about? She never worried about guys. Not like this. But then again she had never seen a guy as gorgeous as Hunk before either. In fact she admitted, she'd never felt like this for some guy she had just met of any other guy for that matter. Maybe she was just losing her mind.
