I heard this song a while back… finally knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Hope you like it be warned its kinda flippy – but that's just how my brain works…

They met in a hurricane

Well, I mean I guess you could call it that… he was underwater-recovery, I had just transferred to MDPD as their new ballistics-expert for NOPD. The case was rather complicated. A floater, tossed in from the previous hurricane. He brought up the body and went back under (not even looking at me); apparently the victim's shirt had torn and he didn't want any evidence to be lost.

…hiphuggers…hiphuggers…hiphuggers…

After I came out of the water, she smiled and approached me. "Can I help you Ms…" I said letting her fill in the "blank".

"Duquesne. CSI Calleigh Duquesne; but you can call me Calleigh. I work with Lieutenant Horatio Caine." She was even more beautiful up-close. I hadn't acted like it, but I had seen her, she was definitely hard to miss. "He's building his team from scratch – I guess you could say – and he noticed you are interested in working for CSI…"

Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand

After work, my place. Movie night.
CD xoxo
P.S. bring an over-night bag…

We had only been together for a while, that was the first note that had been passed between us. I had gone that night, and gone to work dressed in a clean shirt, with a big grin on my face that not even a serial killer could wipe off.

Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are

Our first date had ended on the beach. Hand in hand we walked down the beach, our shoes in the other, the tide lapping at our feet, while our toes curled in the sand. Him in a thin linen shirt, and dark washed jeans; me in a white summer-dress with black daisies lining the hem-line.

As the dusk approached and we turned to watch the sun dive into the water, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me back into his broad chest and whispered, "This feels right." After the sun had disappeared, I turned in his arms, stood on my tip-toes, and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.


He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand

As we walked back to where I had parked the car, I stopped her and told her to stay put. She laughed at me and told me that she wasn't going anywhere – since I had the car keys. I found a relatively flat patch of sand on the beach and picked up a nearby stick.

"What are you doing, Eric?" she said slowly approaching.

"You'll see," I smiled back at her. "Now stay there." I continued to write in the sand using my body to block her line of sight. As I finished I turned to her and asked her, "Read it out loud."

"My name is Eric Delko and I have recently become the boyfriend of the most intelligent, athletic, and most beautiful woman in the world. It took plenty of time and coaxing, but it was worth it. And I just wanted to let the world know, I love her… and nothing can change that," she finished.

"What do you think?" I whispered in her ear.

"I love you too," she turned to me, with tears in her eyes.


Somehow they stayed that way
For those 5 days in May
Made all the stars around them shine

The night had been clear, stars twinkling brighter than usual. Even though the city lights caused their brightness to dull, it was still perfect as he walked me to my front door.

"Well, I guess this is it," he sighed contently, looking me in the eye as we reached the door.

"It doesn't have to be," I said. "I could put on a pot of coffee and we could watch the stars for a bit?" I smiled, knowing that there was no way he would say otherwise.

Funny how you can look in vain
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
The loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

We had always been best friends, nothing more, nothing less. I had seen her face at least a thousand times. Yet here I was laying in this hospital bed staring at her sleeping figure, only then realizing how in love with her I was.

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
And ohh it wipes the tears from your eyes

He had been the one to wipe my tears after Jake left. My best friend, forever and always. Though in the past little while that fine line was becoming more and more blurred, and I didn't have a problem with it, I had even danced over it a few times. The kiss on the cheek… although at the time I had argued it was merely friendship based, looking back, I couldn't been more off.

How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Oh it's going to hit you by surprise

When we first met, I had thought it was a crush. So did everyone else… minus Speedle, of course. Over time it grew into trust, the a liking-to, to a protectiveness, to a want, to a need, and finally to a love…

But I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Through thick and thin, he had been here. Through Speedle, Hagen, Elliot, and most of all Jake; yet he had always been there. If not beside me, then right behind me with his hand on my shoulder.

Looking back its hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading South
Ohh she loved the lines around his mouth

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
And ohh it wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Ohh its going to hit you by surprise
But I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

FIN. Plz Rnr, it makes me happy
