"Done!"

Catherine sighed with an exhausted tone and closed the file, one she thought she would never finish.

Grissom couldn't help but smirk at Catherine's action. He knew how much she hated the paperwork. He hated it as much as she did.

"I still have some unfinished files, want to help?"

Giving him a dirty look, Catherine pouted but a smile came to her face.

"Over my dead body."

Grissom chucked.

"Help an old man, please?" The famous Grissom "puppy-dog eyes" made Catherine giggle.

"Sorry, bugman, your puppy eyes won't work this time. I have done enough paperwork. It's time for me to go home and get some rest, and maybe a bubble bath."

The image of Catherine wears nothing, her creamy body covered in bubbles bath was too much for Grissom. He felt the temperature in his office suddenly rise 120 degrees as his pants became tight and uncomfortable because of his arousal. Grissom coughed trying to cover his embarrassment.

"Fine. Go home. I'll do the paperwork alone. By myself."

"Oh, poor you. You know you can always go home and finish it another time. After all, you're the boss."

Catherine winked at her best friend.

"And have more paperwork on my desk? No, thank you very much."

Grissom's sarcasm made Catherine laugh out loud.

"Fine, suit yourself, I'm going my sweet home now. See you next shift, boss."

Catherine got up to leave the office.

"A beautiful woman like you going home alone on Friday night? Pity."

Surprised by Grissom's words, Catherine turned around to face her boss, whose face redden by his own unexpected comments. Catherine raised her eyebrows but then a grin spread on her face.

"Who said I'll be alone?"

"Don't tell me that Lindsey will be home waiting for you, because I remember someone was upset that few days ago because her butterfly daughter dumped her for going to camp and won't be home until Sunday."

"I will never tell you anything about my life again, Gil Grissom, and wipe the smirk off of your face."

But the smirk was still there and it annoyed Catherine little.

"So who will be home with you tonight? The big TV screen, your favorite screwdriver and what else? Pizza?"

Now it was Catherine's turn to smile mysteriously.

"Well...I won't say it's not true, the part of screwdriver and pizza, but I also have my Imzadi with me tonight..."

The frown on Grissom's face made her smile wider. She really enjoyed teasing him like this.

"Who's your..."

"See you next shift, Gil."

Not letting him finish the question, Catherine cut him and left with a grin.

"...Imzadi?"

*Imzadi? Who is Imzadi? Is he her date or new boyfriend? Why didn't Catherine tell me about him?*

And the idea of a boyfriend caused Grissom's chest to tighten with jealous.

*Why didn't she mention him to me? Am I not her friend anymore?*

*Yup, right, that's the problem. Friend. You're her friend, and you fell in love with your friend. Pull yourself together, Grissom.*

Grissom was so focused on the questions and thoughts in his mind that he didn't realize that Greg had rushed into his office, waving the test results in his hand.

"I got it! I got it! I've got the result for you, boss! I'm the MAN! Woooohaaaa!!!"

"What?! Greg! When did you get in here?! Don't you know you should knock before you walk in?!"

Grissom jumped up and snapped at the young man. Seeing his boss' unusual manner, Greg smirked little, "Hmm, woman problem."

"Are you daydreaming or something, Boss? Did I disturb you..."

Not wanting to let Greg finish his thought, Grissom quickly cut him off...

"No! I'm fine! I'm just thinking... Never mind, just give me the result, Greg."

The young man threw Grissom a funny look just to annoy him.

*Wait! Maybe Greg knows who Cath's Imzadi is...*

Grissom cleaned his throat.

"Ah...Greg, did you have any clue as to who Catherine's new boyfriend is?"

"What?! Who?! When?! How?! When did it happen?! Where did you get the news before me?!"

Greg was shocked by his boss' question. Right now, he wanted to know every detail of the juicy news as much as a kid wanted to eat all the candy in the candy store.

*Greg will always be Greg.*

"I don't know...that's why I'm asking you. But Catherine did mention a name...Imzadi? Does it ring any bells for you?"

Hearing Grissom's *key word* to Catherine's mysterious boyfriend, Greg did something that confused the older man more.

He laughed.

"What?! What's so funny about it?! You know that guy?"

Grissom could hear the jealousy in his own voice and he was sure it was strong enough for Greg to hear it, too.

"Of course, Boss."

It was gonna be so much fun to tease his bug Boss, Greg decided.

"So, are you going to share this information or not?"

"Well...I don't think you're a big fan for Star Trek, are you, Boss?"

"Never seen it before, I only remember it's a TV-series, but what does it have to do with Catherine's new boyfriend?"

"Ah...actually, Imzadi is *not* the name of a person. It is a name for a couple on Star Trek : The Next generation series, Will Riker and Deanna Troi. They had known each other for twenty years, they had feelings for each other for so long..."

"Thank you for the information, Greg. But let me stop you here. Now give me the results and go back to the lab before I throw you out of my office."

Grissom never felt so relieved in his life. So it's not a new date or boyfriend, good, good....hmm...maybe I can use the information for...

"But Boss, you haven't heard the best part..."

"Greg, leave now, please."

Knowing it's the end of this teasing conversation, Greg shrugged and turned to leave.

"Your loss..."

Grissom shook his head at Greg then quickly searched for more *Imzadi* information on his computer.

*Hmmm...so that's what Imzadi means...*

Then an idea popped up in his mind and decided to pay his best friend a visit.

###

Later that night, in her home, wearing a casual blouse and jeans, Catherine lazily lay down in the sofa, watching TV and enjoying her free time.

Catherine couldn't remember how long ago it was when she felt so relax. It felt like heaven, well almost. If only Gil was here with her, too...

*Ding-dong*

The abrupt door-bell ringing brought Catherine back from her daydream. She looked at the clock and frowned.

*who could that be? It's late...*

"Gil?! What are you doing here?"

"Is that how you welcome your guests, especially an *old friend*?"

"of course not! I mean, I think, you..."

"You think a poor old man like me should still do his own paperwork in his office because his best friend didn't want to help him."

"Hey! I told you that you can do it another day!" Catherine defended herself.

"Besides, you will never be old to me..."

"It's always nice to hear a beautiful lady like you to say it."

The quick blush on Catherine's face made Grissom's heart skip a beat. Pull yourself together, Grissom, he thought to himself.

"I know it's late and I know you want to have a quiet night with your Imzadi..."

Catherine couldn't help smiling at Grissom's words.

"You know about *Imzadi*?"

"A boss knows everything..."

"And I guess it didn't happen to be a lab boy who told you what it means?"

"How did you know?"

"Come on, Gil, how long have we known each other? I can read you like a book!"

"Fine, you're the only person except my mom who knows me better than me. Anyway, I brought something for you..."

"Ice cream! And it's chocolate! I love you!"

Now it was Grissom's turn to blush. He laughed but he was melting on the inside because of Catherine's words. God, how much he loved the way she smiled.

"So...are you going to let me in or not?"

"Come in and if you are good to me, maybe I'll share my ice cream with you."

"Your ice cream? I thought that's mine..."

"Shut up and get your cute butt in here!"

###

"Hey! Drink your own beer, don't steal my screwdriver!"

Catherine grabbed the glass from Grissom's hand before she elbowed him.

"Ouch! Don't forget who bring the ice cream, catwoman!"

"Shhh...be quite! My favorite part of Imzadi in this movie is coming! They were on a planet and it's environment influenced them to admit they've had feelings for each other for so long, aww...they're going to kiss!"

It's not every day you can see Catherine Willows, the Queen of the lab, the intelligent, beautiful and strong CSI, being excited for a fictional couple. But at this very moment, Grissom just watched his best friend become a fangirl. Women, he thought. Grissom could do nothing but shut up and enjoy it.

###

"Cath?"

It was almost two in the morning and though this movie had Catherine's favorite couple in it, Catherine fell asleep on Grissom's shoulder. The peaceful beautiful face of hers was just an inch away from him. Grissom didn't have the heart to wake Catherine, but she needed to be in her bed where she could be more comfortable.

"Gil...?"

Catherine's voice sounded both sleepy and sexy to Grissom's ears.

"I don't want to wake you, but you need to be in your bed and get some real sleep."

"Hmm...what time is it? How long did I sleep?"

Catherine tried to move back to her own side.

"Well, it's almost two..."

"WHAT?! I can't believe I fell asleep during my Imzadi movie!"

"Technically, it's NOT an Imzadi movie, it's a Star Trek movie. And it's..."

"You think you're clever, bugman..."

"I am clever, I brought your favorite ice cream, didn't I?"

"You did, but I haven't forgave you for stealing my screwdriver...yet."

"hmm...it's late, and I also think your body is trying to tell you that you should get some rest after a long shift..."

"So now you want to get rid of me."

"Don't pick on me, woman, I watched your *Imzadi* with you."

"Sorry, can't help it. You're right, thank you for the ice cream and company, Gil, I had a great time."

"Me, too."

Grissom stood up and tried to find his jacket to get ready to leave.

"Gil?"

"Yes, Cath?"

"Ah, would you like to watch other Imzadi episodes with in other night?"

The bashfulness on Catherine's face made Grisoom grin.

"Is that a date, Ms Willows?"

"Well...if you want it to be."

"Then I think my answer will depend on one condition..."

"On what condition?"

"Will you be my Imzadi?"

There was a long silence. Grissom held his breath waiting for Catherine's answer.

And her answer was a soft kiss on his lips.

"I think I'm starting to like Imzadi and Star Trek..."

"If you want to be my Imzadi, you should concentrate on kissing me when I kiss you, bugman."

And he kissed her back.
