YOU DON'T SCARE ME
YOU DON'T SCARE ME.
Chapter 1.
It was a dark and storm full night in Miami, the thunder was making noise in the distance and the lighting was striking across the sky and everyone was sound asleep except for Calleigh.
She was tossing and turning in her bed, trying to sleep only she couldn't, there were to many thoughts in her mind and she didn't like thunder.
Calleigh looked at the man sleeping peacefully next to her and wondered why he wasn't bothered by the weather or other issues at all and how he ended up there in the first place.
Right now she wanted to be alone even if she was scared, but she didn't wanto kick him out either, she sighed and turned again.
Calleigh gave up and walked over to the window and looked out at the lightning when the man said: Honey what are you doing up?
"Can't sleep, don't like the thunder" she said honest.
"It's nothing to be afraid of, now get back in bed, we have to get up early" he said.
"I'm just not tired" she said although it was a lie, she just didn't want to lay down tossing and turning next to him, she wanted the bed to her self for a change.
"Come on Calleigh, I can see you're tired, just come back to bed and I'll protect you from the big bad thunder" he said and smiled at her.
"Well ok" she said thinking "why did he have to be so damn handsome".
Calleigh got back into bed and crept close to him so he could protect her with his strong arms.
"Better" he said and kissed the top of her head.
"Much better, thank you John" she said with a sigh.
"So what do you say shall we try to sleep" he said.
"Yes we shall" she said with a yawn.
"Now that's attractive" he said.
"Oh shut up" she snapped.
"I was joking" he said.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to" she started when he said: It's ok Calleigh, just relax.
"Mmm" she said as she closed her eyes and slowly fell a sleep.
It was around 8am the next morning and Calleigh got woken up by her phone and said: Hello.
"Hello, Calleigh why aren't you at work yet?" she heard Horatio say in the other end.
"What time is it?" she asked.
"8am are you sick?" he asked concerned.
"Shit" she thought and looked at her alarm clock, it was blinking like crazy so she said: The weather last night made sure my alarm isn't working, I'm so sorry Horatio, I'll be right in just give me fifth-teen minutes or so.
"Calleigh relax, the world doesn't end if you oversleep once, I was just worried since you weren't here, take your time" he said.
"No, no, I'll be there, ouch, oh hell" she said since she managed to trap over some weights John left on the floor.
"Calleigh you ok?" Horatio asked.
"Fine, see you in a bit" she said and hang up before she yelled: Hell John, did you have to put your stupid weighs right there and now I'm late damn it.
"Would you relax, it's not the end of the world, so you're a little late big deal" he said.
"You know I hate being late, now would ya get outta bed and get dressed while I'm in the bathroom I can't afford to be any later than I already am" she said and ran to her bathroom, locked the door and turned on the shower.
About thirty minutes later Calleigh parked the car in the garage and took the elevator up to the lab where she found Horatio and said: I'm so sorry, really, I didn't mean to be this late.
He looked at her, she was wearing a pair of beige pants and a light blue top, her hair was hold back with a couple of blue hair cliffs, her hands were on her sides and her eyes looked tired, not awake and curious like they used to.
Horatio smiled at her and said: No worries, but would you sit down and take a look at this file, since I can't make heads or tails of it.
Calleigh took the file and sat down in the chair opposite the desk, she looked at him for a second, he was wearing one of his dark suits with a light blue shirt, his blue eyes were focused on her.
Calleigh sighed and looked down at the case file and asked: What are you having trouble with?
"I can't get the time frames to fit with the suspects statements" he said with a sigh.
Calleigh yawed and opened the file to find out what her was talking about.
"Everything ok with you and John?" he asked.
Calleigh looked shocked at him and replied: I didn't know anyone knew.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked" he said.
"No worries and we're just fine, I just sleep badly during thunder I never liked it all that much" she admitted while she looked down in the paper again and added: I agree something by this timeline is of.
"If it's any comfort I'm not to crazy about thunder storms either so you think she's lying about killing her husband" he said.
"No I think she's lying about something else, and you're afraid of thunder" she said surprised.
"What do you think she's lying about then and I am" he said.
"No sure, but I bet I can figure out if you let me talk to her" said Calleigh.
"She's in hold up, but I can take you to her at once" said Horatio and got up of the chair and started to walk towards the door with her when she said: Imagine the big Horatio Caine afraid of thunder.
"Very funny" he said as he opened the door for her.
"I find it a bit funny" she said with a giggle.
Horatio just smiled at her as they walked down the stairs.
"Hey Calleigh" said John when he saw her and Horatio coming into the station.
"Hey John, will you give me a second" she said to Horatio.
"Yeah sure" he said and looked at the two of them as they stepped aside.
"So I'm sorry bout this morning, I should have checked that the alarm was back on before we went back to sleep" said John.
"I could have done it to it was as much my fault" she said.
"So you didn't get in any trouble" he said looking over at Horatio.
"No, no, I'm good as long as it don't happen again" she said.
John bent his head to kiss her, but she backed away and said: Not here and not in front of my boss.
"When are you of?" he asked.
"When I'm done, dunno if I'll be working overtime or not, I have lots of cases and at the moment I' helping Horatio with a suspect" she said.
"You're taking on his" said John shocked.
"Of course he's my boss I have to do it if he asks" she said.
"You can tell him that you have enough to do and let one of the others do it" he said a bit annoyed.
"It's really no trouble at all besides it will probably not take to long" she said and put a hand on his arm to calm him down a little.
John snorted and said: If you say so.
"John we talked about this before, it's my job and you know that, you know I rather be with you, but really I have to work to" she said, it was at least half true.
"I'm sorry, it's just I wanna spend more time with you since you're my girl" he said.
"I know you do" she said and stretched a little to give him a peck on the check.
John blushed a bit and said: What was that for?
"For being such a patient boyfriend, but really I have to go, I'll see you home later" she said.
"We're staying at your place again, can't we stay at my place just once" he said.
"We can stay at your place tomorrow promise" she said and gave him a long deep kiss.
"Uhm ok" he said with a little growl before she went over to Horatio.
"I can't believe you did that in public" he said.
"What he's my boyfriend I can do what I want with him where and wherever I want" she said with a sigh, only Horatio could tell all to well she didn't mean what she just said.
"You don't have to, you know that right" he said and let his hand caress her back.
Calleigh let out a soft moan and said: Please don't he can get real mad for that.
"He's not hurting you is he" said Horatio and withdraw his hand fastly.
"No, no, don't worry" Calleigh said and smiled at him.
"Then I won't" he said and smiled back.
"So let me see if I can crack this suspect of yours" she said as they walked into the interrogation room.
Later that day Calleigh was sitting on the floor in her firearms lab between piles of papers, normally her office would be a lot more organized than this, but right now she had a lot of cases that was in the process of being solved so she hadn't bothered using her system.
Calleigh put the last papers in one of the files and said more to her self than anyone else "One down a dozen to go".
"Just a dozen I got way more than you then" she heard Eric say behind her.
"Oh hi Eric, what can I do for you" said Calleigh and smiled at him.
"I was wondering if you got the results on my bullet" said Eric.
"Yeah right here" said Calleigh and gave him the papers.
"Thanks, oh yeah bunch of us is going out for drinks after work, you wanna come" he said.
"I can't I still have lots to do and I promised my boyfriend to meet him when I was done" she said.
"Speaking of when are you letting us meeting him?" Eric asked.
"Dunno, I like having him for my self" Calleigh replied, she was worried how the others would react if they found out she was dating John.
"Oh come on I wanna meet this guy to see if he's any good" said Eric and smiled at her.
"I'll think about it" she said and without thinking she managed to knock a glass of water over her paper, she turned and gasped and though "No, no, no, now I have to do it all again and I'll be twice as late and John will get real mad".
Eric looked at her worried face and asked: You need help sorting it out, I may have doubles of some of them want me to have a look?
"That would have been great, thanks, I need to speak to Horatio" she said with a sigh and followed him upstairs.
"John I'm really sorry it wasn't like I did on purpose, I have no desire to be here all night working" said Calleigh in the phone.
"Is he there to?" John asked.
"Him who?" Calleigh replied confused.
"Horatio, I saw how he acted at the station" said John angrily thinking no way his girl should be with another man than him.
"John, he's my boss nothing more" said Calleigh tiredly since the clock was now 7Pm and she had been working for almost eleven hours non stop.
"Sure seemed like he was hitting on you" said John.
"What the heck are you talking about" said Calleigh.
"Are you sure you are working" said John.
"Of course I am come and check if you don't believe me" she said.
"I might do just that" he said.
"Do whatever you like I have to work call you back later sugar" said Calleigh and hung up and started to rub her temple while she was looking through the case file.
"Headache?" Horatio asked from the door.
Calleigh started and said: Yes a bad one hurts like hell, and how long have you been standing there for?
"Not long, trouble with John?" he asked.
"Just a little, I'll be fine" she said with a heavy sigh as Horatio walked closer.
"Getting anywhere?" he asked.
"Almost back to where I was amazingly enough, thanks to you Eric and the rest" she said.
"That's good and you did most by your self, your shoulders sure are tense" he said as his hands rested on them.
"I know, to much stress lately and" she stopped she didn't feel like bothering him with her problems.
Horatio gently started to rub her shoulders and neck to loosen her up while the moans she let out became louder as it felt so good, even if she knew it was wrong since she was with John and Horatio was her boss.
"Ohhhhhhh that feels sooooo good" she let out.
Horatio just looked at her from behind and said: There now you're all better.
"Thank you" she said gratefully.
"You're welcome, are you by any chance hungry because I though of ordering some food" he said.
"I'm starving so I'll join in on that" she said since she was.
"Ok then we'll eat in my office in thirty minutes" he said and left her to her work.
"You're so not doing that" Calleigh giggled in Horatio's office and hour later.
"It's really fun" said Horatio and picked up his phone.
"And Stetler and the rest dunno" she said.
"No, just listen" said Horatio and dialed a number and put the speaker on so she could hear.
"Rick Stetler" it said in the other end.
"Hi Rick this is Angelo, just wanted to thank you for the last day" said Horatio in a very light tone with Spanish accent.
"Will you stop calling me" said Rick annoyed.
"Oh come on you know you like it" Horatio said.
"Would you stop it or I'll" said Rick.
"Or you'll do what teach me a lesson, I sure would like that" said Horatio.
"Oh go to hell" said Rick angrily and hung up.
Calleigh dropped to the floor laughing and said: I can't believe you did that, but really you're not into that kinda stuff.
"Lord no, I only like wimen" he assured her.
"Anyone caught your eye lately?" she asked curiously.
"No" he said and looked down.
"So who is she?" asked Calleigh.
"Wouldn't matter, she don't like me" he said.
"Why not, you're not a bad bloke" said Calleigh and smiled at him.
"It's complicated" he said.
"It's not Yelina is it?" Calleigh asked.
"No, she's not my type" he said.
"Why don't you just ask her out then, sure she would be happy to date you" said Calleigh.
"She's taken already" he said with a sigh.
"Oh I'm sorry" she said feeling badly for him.
"No don't be as long as she's happy that's what matter, but I'm not sure she is though" he said.
"Have you tried asking her about it" said Calleigh.
"She says she's happy but I find it hard to believe" he said.
"How so?" Calleigh asked.
"Cause I know her" said Horatio and looked deep into her eyes.
"Don't look at me like that" she said and backed away quickly.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to" he said embarrassed.
"It's ok, no harm" she said.
"You sure" he said.
"I am but I better leave, I've let him wait long enough, and you should really try to talk to that girl of yours" she said and left.
"Believe me I've tried" he thought with a sigh.
