Calleigh's Love Secret Reveled By Heather Pierson and Micky Drake

Calleigh sat in the waiting room curled up with her favorite book waiting for the receptionist to call her. "Dr Monroe will be with you in a moment Ms. Duquesne," she calls out to Cal.

5 mins later the receptionist comes back and says, "Ms Duquesne Dr Monroe is ready for you."

She puts her book in her bag and walks into the office and sits down. "Good morning Ms. Duquesne. How are you this morning?"

Calleigh slides herself back and crosses her arms, "honestly I'm fine. But I don't really understand why I have to come to see you, no offense."

"None taken. Well," Sandy says while picking up a piece of paper.

"According to a Rick Stetler you've been having some heated conversations with one Eric Delko and it's interfering with some of your co workers progress in their own work."

Calleigh put her head down and says, "I've had some heated conversations with him because he doesn't know that I have feelings for him and split up with my ex boyfriend Jake Berkley so Eric and I can eventually be together."

"Does this Jake know how you feel," she asks while writing down some notes.

"Yes but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it even though I know he is.

He never says that to my face but I can tell in his facial expressions and body language that it bothers him."

Sandy continues, "well by the sound of the lightness in your voice I'd say it's time to tell Eric how you feel."

Calleigh turns to her and says, "not a chance in hell."

Sandy crosses her legs and asks, "you don't want him to know?"

Calleigh puts her head in her hand and says, "I do I just don't know how he'll react. I mean I love him and all but I don't wanna mess up a good thing."

"Well at least you should try," she says while getting a cup of coffee. She holds up the pot to Cal and she shakes her head, "I know a lot of couples that have gotten together and were eventually married because one partner told the other how they felt. On the other hand some of them didn't work out and sometimes the spouse would get violent"

Calleigh put her hair in a pony tail and said smiling wide, "well I know Eric would do everything in his power not to hurt me. He cares about me too much to let anything bad happen to me."

"Well I hate to say this but our hour is up. Why don't you let me know how things work out for you next week?" Sandy said as she drank the rest of her coffee. "I will thank you,"

Cal said as she got her book, purse and left. When Calleigh arrived back at the lab she walked right into the ballistics lab, pulled out her journal, and began writing;

Dear Journal,

It's me Calleigh. This time I'm trying to figure out how to come to grips with my feeling for my co-worker Eric. You remember Eric I told you about him in earlier entries. Well I finally figured out that I've been in love with him for a long time now but the thing is that I don't know how to tell him without it leaking back to Stetler- you know how he is about enforcing departmental rules. Blah I hate him. I wish he would just go away so I can spill my heart out to Eric.

Love,

Cal

Just then H comes into the Ballistics lab and says, "Call we have a missing child crime scene to go to. A 15 yr old ran away from home for the second time."

"OK H be right there," she says as she puts her stuff away not including the journal and grabs her kit.

Just before Eric was going to run some finger prints for a prior case he runs by the Ballistics lab and saw Cal wasn't there, 'hmm I wonder where she went.'

Before he left he put a note on the table for her and noticed the open book on the table, "that's funny Cal always puts away her notes before leaving for going into the field."

He notices there is writing on the open page and sits down to read it.

Just when he gets to the part about Stetler Cal comes back, ""ERIC DELKO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

He jumps up and throws the book in the air, "Calleigh I thought you were in the field. I left you a note that I wanted to talk to you about something but you weren't here so I thought I'd wait for you."

She comes up to him, crosses her arms and says angrily, "k I'm here so talk. But that doesn't give you the right to invade my private life."

"I wanted to talk to you about the case but when I saw the notebook my stomach went crazy because I had no idea you had feelings for me."

Calleigh put her head down and stared at the floor with tears streaming down her face, "well Eric I'd give anything to have the chance to be by your side."

Eric walked up close to her and says while wiping away her tears, "Well Cal let's go to lunch together right now and talk about it."

"We can't we're on a case now," she says while wiping her nose with a tissue.

"Tough," he said while holding her hand. 'I already talked to H about my feelings for you and he said that we should go talk about it. We're off for the next 2 hrs to have lunch together."

"What about the case," Cal asks while putting her journal in a drawer.

"The rest of the team will handle it 'till we get back. Let's just go have lunch and enjoy each others company as boyfriend/girlfriend." he says while grabbing her hand and leading her to the elevator.

"I'd love that," she says while putting her head in his chest and her arms around him.

H sees them in the lobby and says, "have fun guys." Eric pushes the elevator button and puts his arm around her.
