Calleigh woke up to a brand new day, today was not another drag of dead bodies, crime scenes and endless hours in the lab. Even though it was her passion sometimes it just got to hard. Especially lately, being in the lab had gotten chemically tense between her and Eric. She remembered how embarrassed she was yesterday when she tripped over a cord and rolled her ankle, falling into Eric's arms. Calleigh reminisced the hot, tense and very romantic moment between her and Eric. It made her skin tingle just thinking about it.

Squinting her eyes as she let the Miami sun beam through her curtains, Calleigh grinned. It was the most perfect summer's day for a stroll down to Miami's South Beach. She slipped on her blue and brown patterned bikini and did up the little silver buckle that held the front of the bikini together. She then tossed her white cotton dress over her, wiggled her body so it sat comfortably and gathered her bag ready to go. She grabbed a peach out of her fruit bowel and locked up, as she started her walk down to the beach.

As she strolled down the side path she thought about Eric, it was his day off today as well and he was only a couple of blocks down the road from her. She contemplated going down and seeing if her wanted to join her. Her heart said yes, but her head said no. She remembered the hard time Stetler had given them after sensing a tense romantic atmosphere between herself and Eric. Calleigh loved working with Eric he taught and told her so many interesting things. If she was stuck with someone else it wouldn't be the same.

During all of Calleigh's thinking she realised that she was already half way up the beach. She chuckled to herself and found herself a beautiful stop at the other end of the beach. The thing she loved about getting days of during the week was that everything was so empty, well compared to the weekend it was. She slipped out of her dress and took a deep breath of the sea breeze. Her emerald eyes glistened in the sunlight as she trotted down to the water. Calleigh plunged into the waves and felt the cold refreshing sea water rush through her body.

Meanwhile Eric pulled out his iPod and stepped into the hot golden sand. He pulled of his shirt to reveal his olive brown skin. As he sat down into a spot, he watched the surf and the few swimmers that where in the water. As he scanned the beach for the best swimming spot he noticed a beautiful blonde heading out of the water. As she approached him closer Eric's chin dropped to the ground, it was Calleigh! She had a beautiful smile of satisfaction of her face, her porcelain skin was glowing, her perfectly toned body was sparking with beads of water running down her, and the bikini sat on her curves and hugged her breasts flawlessly. He quickly recovered himself as he realised that he had his mouth wide open.

Calleigh felt great, she really needed a swim. She was at the shore when she realised Eric was standing there with a cheeky grin on his face. Calleigh was shocked she felt her face go red. She contemplated running and grabbing her towel but it was too late. Eric was getting closer and closer to her, skill with the grin on his face. She had never seen that grin before let alone Eric without a t-shirt!

"Hey, wow! I didn't expect you to be here!" Eric said in an overjoyed tone.
Calleigh still stunned replied back a jumble of words.
"Uurrmmm...well...urrmmm...beach...water...urmmm...swim...eehhhhaha."


Eric gave her a funny look. "You ok, you seem a bit dazzled?"
Calleigh recovered from her stutter and smiled. "Ohh, haha. It must have been all that sea water!"

They both chuckled.

"Well were both here, so let's make the most of it! Want to come in for another swim?"
Eric gave Calleigh a cute little 'please' smile as he asked her.
Calleigh smiled and walked back to the water with Eric.

Hours passed and both Eric and Calleigh's skin was starting to shrivel like prunes.
"Hey Cal, wanna come back to mine for a coffee and some lunch? I'm going to sink if i don't get out soon!" He started into Calleigh's eyes making it impossible for her to say no.
"I'd love to, thanks!" she tried not to sound too desperate to spend time with him, but Calleigh had always just wanted to hang and talk about non-work related things with Eric. She had tried but it was never the right moment.

As they were walking back to Eric's house Calleigh was getting nervous. They where definitely going to start talking about everything, like the look her gave her when he pulled the glass shard out of her finger, and how he helped her so kindly after the fire. Eric is lovely Calleigh thought, but he doesn't care for any of his work friends like he does for her. Calleigh's thinking was interrupted when she felt Eric's hand touch hers. She lost her breath and just as she was about to look up at him she felt a strong tug and the beep of a car horn.
"Calleigh, watch out! You nearly crossed in front of that car!" Eric looked extremely worried.
"Ohh, haha. Sorry! I was on a complete different brain wave!"
Calleigh pulled an awkward smile.
That was the second time she had embarrassed herself in front of him today.
I'm never like this, she thought to herself.
Calleigh realised that she really like Eric, that's what everything had been so tense at work. She has feelings for him; she just never wanted to admit it.

They walked up Eric's driveway. His house was lovely. Modern day design, with a pool and palm trees placed neatly out the front of his house. She had never been inside, only outside when she was carpooling with him. His garden was perfectly manicured and left hers for dead. Calleigh hated gardening, ever since she dug though and ants nest.
"Your garden is lovely Eric! Beats mine."
"Ahh, thanks Cal. You have an excuse not to garden though so it's ok. Not many people can say that have a phobia of ants." Eric joked.
"Ahhh, i'll fix it one day! I got in that tank to find the lotto ticket that time, that was pretty brave of me!" Calleigh could feel herself relaxing.
"True that." Eric opened the front door to his house. As Calleigh stepped inside she was shocked, it was spotless, cleaner then hers. Everything was arranged neatly, and the house was beautifully designed with colour coded and themed furniture and designs.
"Oh my god Eric, this is beautiful. Did you design this yourself. I know you had renovations, but wow, 

this is great!" Calleigh continued to inspect his house.
"Yeah I did most of it, the designer was lovely and helpful, and included me in the process so I thought I would give it ago. My favourite is the lounge room perfect for a major DVD sesh. He picked up a wiggled the 'I am Legend' DVD case."
"You and your crazy action packed movies Eric!" Calleigh smiled.

Eric swung open the fridge and called out to Calleigh "what will it be? Pina Colada or a Sex on the Beach?" He had the grin on his face again.
"I'm sorry?" Calleigh just heard the word sex and it confused her alot.
"Cocktails? We don't have work tomorrow, may as well have a good time!" The grin now morphed into a cheeky smile.
"Ohh, right. Well why not. I'll have a Martini!" Calleigh sent him a quick but flirtatious wink.
"ooooo, nice decision. I'll have you happen to know that during my College years I worked as a bartender, and I'm very good at what I do." Eric grabbed the remote and flicked the CD player on.
Calleigh smiled when she heard the funky grooves of Eric's R n' B music glide out of the speakers.

As they sat down and got comfortable Eric started the conversation.
"I wonder how H is doing with the drug case?" Eric took a sip of his drink.
"When I left last night, he hadn't gotten very far. They are still waiting and searching for a location to where Caldo is shipping the drugs from. He also needed a few more warrants. I think we will be working on the case when we get back." Calleigh leaned back into the chair and relaxed as her skin caught the rays of the sun.
"I think your right there Cal, I don't wanna miss the barstard get arrested anyway after what him and his gang did to that innocent girl." Eric looked upset, Calleigh thought of a different subject to change and said something without even thinking.
"Stetler is getting on my nerves."
Eric looked surprised. He asked Calleigh if she wanted to speak about it the other day and she went off the subject.
"Don't worry about him Calleigh. I know you and I have feelings for each other, and that's just how things have worked out. It's not our fault we have fallen for each other. H will back us up, i know you're worried about not being able to work together, but it will sort though ok."
Calleigh was shocked; Eric just casually said that he liked her and that he knows she likes him. She felt the awkward tense feeling again and squirmed in her seat, she went to say something but the stuttering came out again.
"Eric, umm...well...umm..." Her heart was beating at a thousand beats per minute. She felt herself going red, and as she looked up at Eric she noticed he was starting her in the eyes. They just sat there staring at each other for 10 secs until Calleigh leant over and pressed her lips against Eric's'. Her head was spinning with pleasure and confusion. But then she felt Eric starting to kiss her back. It was amazing, and her skin tingled. He put his arm around her ribs and gently glided her closer to his chair. Calleigh caressed his skin with her soft angel like hands, and felt Eric's hand rustle though her hair. Eric picked her up and laid her on the soft outdoor chair, and started kissing her neck working his way up to her lips again. This continued for about 30mins until Calleigh stoped.
"Eric, are you sure? After all that your gone though are you sure your ready."
"Calleigh i could ask the same question to you. It's ok he touched her cheek. Want another drink?" Eric smiled.


"Yes, that would be lovely. I'll just go to the bathroom." Calleigh smiled back.

As Calleigh looked at her reflection in the mirror she smiled at the thought that Eric had thought she looked so nice with hair that looked like a birds next and water damaged make up. She wiped the mascara off from under her eyes and neatened up her ruffled hair. She also noticed that her dress was completely see though from her wet hair, and all you could see was her skin and bikini.
"Nice look." Calleigh said to herself as she walked out of the bathroom.
Eric greeted her with more drinks.
After four more martinis, two sex on the beaches, five albums and six hours had pasted things had gotten a little hot and romantic. Calleigh found herself tipsy making out with Eric in his spa tub. The sun had gone down and the garden lights where beaming. It was romantic and Calleigh was loving every minute of it. She felt Eric starting to kiss harder, and was getting a vibe that he wanted to go further. Calleigh didn't want to seem desperate by having sex on their first night together, but everything in her body was screaming at her to do it, and this time even her head. She felt his hand slide up her body and make its way for her neck and breasts, but he stopped.
"Your cold, do you want to go inside. I don't want you getting sick, especially after those couple of weeks ago when you got meningitis!" Eric's voice was so caring and soft.
"Ohh, your right. Do you mind if we went inside?" Calleigh glanced at him softly.
"Not a problem Cal, I'll put the heater on, go have a warm shower. You can use my robe, it's hanging over the shower and it's clean." He winked at her.

As Calleigh stepped out of the shower she put on her spare panties and bra that she had in her bag and put on Eric's robe. She walked out of his bathroom and found him standing there in his boxers, she looked around the other way.
"Sorry Eric!"
"It's ok Cal, they are just my boxers!" Eric laughed.
"In that case..." Calleigh let his robe roll over her shoulders to reveal her sexy lingerie.
Eric smiled and walked up to her grabbing her in a scoop and tossing her on the bed.
"You don't know how much and how long I've wanted this Calleigh, I love you." Eric kissed Calleigh.
"The feeling is mutual Eric." And Calleigh kissed him back.

Calleigh woke to the piercing ring of a mobile phone. She was cloth less and by the feel of it so was Eric. She jumped up and pulled the sheet round her body. She snapped a glance at the clock 7.08am.
"Hello?" she answered groggily.
"Calleigh its Horatio, I'm so sorry to ring so early but I need you down here. I've had a big lead and we have found Carldo's shipment location. I'm going to need you an Eric for some back up."
"Ohh right, I'll be down as soon as I can. Don't worry about ringing Eric I can tell him for you."
"Thank you Calleigh!"
"No worries Horatio, we will...I mean I will see you soon."
