A/N: I know I'm terrible! I keep saying I'll try and update soon, and never do, and I'm very sorry for that, so hopefully this chapter will make up for it. I've decided to leave the script for a chapter or two and try and do my own thing, let me know what you think!

Hidden Emotions

Chapter seventeen

Weeks went by, and they didn't get any closer, he had wanted to do something about his feelings but two things were getting in the way: He couldn't bring himself to do it, and he knew that he, no... They, would be in deep water if they did have a relationship. He was too attached to his job, he loved his job. But he also loved her. Didn't he? Yeah, he did.

Sitting in his office he smiled to himself, yes, he did love her, he was sure of it, if he loved her, why shouldn't he tell her? He had always told himself that if two people loved each other, they shouldn't let anything get in the way. Then again, she didn't love him, did she? Well, she hadn't shown any love towards him, yeah she had touched his cheek, but that was only because she was wiping chalk from his face. Well, that's what she had told him. He sighed; so many things were going around in his head he didn't know what to make of anything. Pinching the bridge of his nose he closed his eyes and sat back in his chair. Hearing someone sit down in the chair opposite him he opened his eyes.

"What's bothering you?"

"Jim... Why would something be bothering me?" He knew his voice gave away the fact that something, was indeed bothering him.

"Come on Gil, how long have we known each other?"

He nodded, looking down at his desk, and sighed.

"I know that look; you had the same one six years ago when you came back from your seminar, in San Francisco. You didn't know whether to call a certain girl or not." Jim chuckled. "Who would've thought that Gil Grissom, forensic entomologist, workaholic, and a baseball fanatic, would come back from a seminar crazy about a girl?"

Grissom sighed hopelessly. "What do I do, Jim?"

Jim gave him a sympathetic look. "Well, from my own experience, if you don't tell her soon, she'll move on. How long you have depends on the girl, and I know that this girl won't give up on you easily."

He realised what Jim had said, she won't give up on him? "Wait, what do you mean, she won't give up on me?"

He chuckled again. "You don't know? Gil, she's mad about you, everybody around here knows. You are one blind man." Jim sighed, and leaned towards him. "We both know what trouble you'll get in if anything comes out of this, and if anything does come out of it, you know my mouth will be kept shut." He winked at the still confused man and left him to think.

A/N: Okay, yeah, short chapter, but I hope to update again tonight... Or, today... Wherever you are :P Anyway, let me know what you thought!
