Chapter twenty-four

Back in Vegas the night shift guys were just awaking from their slumber.

Greg was with his girlfriend Nikki, at his place.

Nick was at his place, on the couch, surrounded by last night's Chinese and cheesy DVDs.

Catherine and Warrick still lay in each others arms, gazing into each others eyes. Warrick gently stroked Catherine's beautiful strawberry blonde hair. While Catherine enjoyed the comfort, she pulled herself closer to him, to let him know that she was greatful for the comfort.

Warrick knew that Catherine hadn't been herself since she started receiving letters from Adam Trent, but at that very moment, he could see the happiness in her eyes. He was more than happy to be with her. Nothing in the world would make him change that moment.

"Warrick?"

"Yeah?"

"Join me in the shower?"

"Cat... I-I..." Warrick was thrown back by the invite. Yeah, sure he'd dreamed about it from time to time, but he never thought that she would actually ask him.

"Please. 'Rick." Catherine loved the man she was with, and she never wanted to be separated from him. But, she couldn't tell him that though. Could she?

"Okay." Warrick slid out of the sheets, holding Catherine's hand and dragging her with him.

The shower was the biggest Catherine had ever seen! And she's seen a lot of showers in her time (even Grissom's at some point).

Warrick stripped down, then helped the beauty in front of him.

Catherine melted in Warrick's arms as they stepped into the warm water, that poured from above them.

Ecklie trying to get comfy on his leather couch, his hardened man hood was proving it near on impossible. Thinking about the beautiful strawberry blonde, did things to him that he thought no-one could do anymore.

I can't go on like this...

I have to tell her...

I'll tell her tonight, during shift.
