Natalie smiled leaving Mr. Grissom. She did it. She was Natalie Kate Crime Scene Investigator. Giggling Natalie reached into her purse taking out her keys. Passing the reception desk, pushing open the door into the bright sunshine.
Natalie was in her own world. She had done it. Nothing could make her happier than this. Inhaling the air deeply, Natalie snapped back. Hunk was there on his cell phone standing on the curb near her car. So what… who cares? I do..God! What was wrong with her?! She was never like this…jeez. Ok get a grip. You've had a great day; just go to your car…
Natalie started to pass Hunk wow he smelt good.
AHHHHHHHNatalie tripped over the curb landing face first on the asphalt…no someone caught her….
Natalie looked up blinking into the eyes of Hunk.
" You ok," Hunk smiled at her through the sunlight.
" Uhhh yeah." Natalie smiled back, then blushed realizing he was still holding her.
" Here," Hunk helped her to her fee and bent down to help her retrieve the escaped contents of her purse.
Natalie squatted picking up her things " Thanks, I'm Natalie Kate," putting the last item away.
Hunk stood up reaching his hand to her "Nick Stokes." Taking it Natalie stood up.
Nice
" So, you were talking to Gil Grissom today weren't you?"
"Yeah. I had an interview."
" An interview?" Nick asked questioning in a mock- mysterious voice, his eyes laughing.
Natalie smirked " Yes, a job interview."
"Ahh," Nick laughed " and how did that go for you…" Nick glanced at her ring finger, " Miss. Kate?"
" Great, Mr. Stokes, " Natalie said laughter seeping into her suppose-to-be-serious tone.
" Nick," his voice gentle and sweet.
" Natalie."
" So Natalie does great mean you got the job?"
" Yeah I've got it," Natalie felt quite proud of her achievement.
"Congrats. So what are you?" Nick asked more seriously.
" An investigator." Natalie smiled, mock holding her head up high.
"CSI." Nick raised his eyebrows, "When do you start?"
" Tomorrow."
" Nervous?"
"Psyched actually. But ya I guess nervous too."
" So you're a rookie," Nick grinned at her, his eyes laughing again.
" Just out of school," Nick's eyes seemed to question for a second " I started late." She added. " So what level are you?" Nick gave her a confused look. " Your vest."
" Oh yeah this thing. Three."
" Impressive. I guess you're not to high and mighty to help a rookie, or are you?" Natalie sent him on of her charming, flirtatious looks.
Nick shrugged " I guess I can make an exception. I do have a thing for damsels in distress," Nick smiled at her.
Natalie smiled glancing at her feet and back up to his eyes. He had the most gorgeous eyes she had ever seen.
Nick's phone went off. Nick glanced at the screen.
" I gotta take this."
" I 've gotta go anyway."
" Well see ya later Rookie." Nick smiled at her once again, answering his phone.
" Bye Nick." Natalie smiled and took out her keys again.
