Authors note 1: So this story came to me one day when I was wathing the movie the Iceprincess since I always liked figure skating, but I didn't know much about it so I had to learn it while I wrote which was kind of fun.
Athors note 2: Thanks to my friend Emily that helped me picking a lot of the songs and outfits for Calleigh's numbers during the way, this one is for you :o)
DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it
The Iceprincess
The Iceprincess.
Chapter 1.
Calleigh had her lunch break so she was doing what she liked the most skating at the ice rink. The music was playing loudly from the speakers as she was dancing on the ice. It made her feel free, happy and full of life, and it was so much fun and a great way to relax and get her minds of things.
Calleigh had started to figure skate when she was around 8 years old and her trainer had told her parents that might even had a chance of winning the Olympics only her father had put a stop to that and she had in ruled at the police academy instead, not that she ever regretted that, but she was wondering what it would be like if she had actually won the Olympics.
Calleigh sighed since she knew she had to put the skates away and go back to work before Horatio noticed she was gone.
Horatio watched as Calleigh came through the front door, he checks were rose red like she had been out in the cold, which he didn't get since it was hot in Miami, not that he cared since it made her look even cuter than she already was.
He walked up to her and asked: Where have you been?
"Oh you know just out" she replied with a smile.
"Yeah, but where?" he asked curiously.
"Since when did you start to care where your employees were in their lunch break?" she asked with a giggle.
"Have you been with Jake" he asked avoiding her question.
"Heavens No, why would you think that, you know we broke up and are only friends" she said.
"You just seemed so happy that's all" he replied.
"And that is a bad thing" she said.
"No, not at all it's just, never mind" he said.
"You wanted to know why I'm happy" she tried, amused by his curiosity.
"Yes" he said.
"Maybe I will tell you one day, I can only tell you it's not a guy" she said.
Their eyes locked and for the first time in her life she wondered what it would be like to kiss him, and how he would react if she did that. Was it worth a try or would he fire her if she did. Probably not. So without thinking it further thought and caring who was watching she did just that, she reached up kissed him and then she backed away.
Horatio locked shocked at her and asked: Calleigh why did you do that?
"I dunno, an impulse, just wanted to see what it was like, I'm sorry Horatio, please don't be mad" she said a bit scared.
"I'm not, but don't do it again since" he said, he really couldn't thing of a good reason to why not, since if it was just an impulse he had always wondered what it would be like to kiss her soft lips, he just never dared to do so.
"I won't really, I didn't, I'm really sorry, I don't know what" she said.
"I know, and I know you didn't mean to do it and that you're sorry, as you said it was just an impulse, and relax Calleigh we're fine, now run along, I want the results on my bullet" he said and smiled at her.
Calleigh blushed and smiled back, as she run along she wondered why he had let her go so easy.
Horatio smiled to him self and thought "Just an impulse", then he walked back up to his office.
One moment later Natalia came down to Calleighs firearms lab and asked: What were you doing kissing Horatio?
"I just felt like it" she said, which was true.
"Calli, he's you boss, he can fire you for that" Natalia said in a serious tone.
"Nah, he won't, he never do that" said Calleigh.
"How can you be so sure" said Natalia.
"Just a feeling, plus he didn't get mad" she said.
"You think he likes you" said Natalia.
"Nah, he couldn't" said Calleigh, not interlay sure.
¨Just don't do it again" said Natalia.
"I won't" said Calleigh thinking "unless he kiss me first".
Natalia just sighed and left Calleigh to her work.
"Can you believe Calleigh just kissed H" said Eric.
"I can" said Valera.
"What do you mean?" asked Eric.
"They have been working together for 12 years or more, she's cute, and he handsome, it was bound to happen sooner or later" said Valera.
"Are you saying that Calleigh love H, he's so old" said Eric shocked.
"I dunno if she loves him or not, but is it that impossible that she's attracted to him" said Valera.
"Apparently not" said Natalia who just returned.
"Did she have and explanation?" said Valera.
"She just felt like it" said Natalia.
"Just felt like it" said Eric.
"Apparently, but she kissed you once to, remember" said Natalia.
"One it was on the check, two she run of with Jake, three Horatio is her boss, it's just wrong" said Eric and left.
"What do you think?" said Valera.
"That he has feelings for her and she's not sure yet and that time will show" said Natalia.
"In deed it will" said Valera and they both got back to work.
Eric went up to Horatio's office and asked: Horatio do you have a minute?
"Yes, what is it?" Horatio asked.
"What the heck are you doing letting Calleigh kiss you" said Eric.
"I wasn't letting her do anything" said Horatio.
"You weren't pushing her away either" said Eric.
"Eric, it lasted less than a second, there wasn't time" said Horatio a bit annoyed.
"You could have backed away, you're her boss and it's not like you have feelings for her" said Eric.
"How the hell do you know I don't" Horatio yelled.
"The only reason you're interested in her is because she's younger, you only wanto use her" Eric yelled.
Horatio couldn't believe his own ears and yelled back "What the hell is your problem Eric, is it the fact that you can never get her and that she kissed me? And I would never treat her less than an equal".
"You are my problem" said Eric and took a swing at him. He hit Horatio in the jaw and Horatio hit him back and pretty soon they were in a fight, which ended in Horatio throwing Eric out of his office and yelling: And stay out.
Calleigh and Natalia who were out in the hallway locked shocked at Eric, his nose were bleeding, his lip swollen and his clothes was in disorder.
"Eric what happened?" Calleigh asked concerned.
"Just go to hell" said Eric and headed for the men's room.
Calleigh gasped and said: Say to Horatio that I need time to be alone.
As she walked out Natalia could hear her soft sobs thinking "Eric Delco this time you have gone too far.
