Calleigh was walking down the halls of the Crime Scene Investigations floor in the MDPD building when she heard someone call her name. She quickly turned to see who it was. There Ryan was walking fast towards her while breathing heavily.
«Hey Calleigh, are you going home?» He managed to ask her between his breathing.
«Yeah I am just getting my stuff in my locker. What´s up?» Calleigh smiled cheerfully back at him.
«I was just wondering if I could get a ride home with you?» Calleigh's mind was screaming no, but she politely and happy answered Ryan yes.
«Okay, thanks. I´ll just give this to Natalia and then I´ll meet you in the locker room.»
Calleigh bowed her head turned and walked into the locker room. There she found her way to the ladies room and after she found her way to her own locker. Just as she opened her locker Eric walked down the aisles of lockers and straight to Calleigh. One thing Eric loved about her was that every time he walked into a room she was in or when she saw him was that her face lit up every single time. Her beautiful smile and piercing emerald eyes stared right back into his deep brown ones. As Calleigh was standing face front to her locker, she heard someone coming and there she saw him, her smile blossomed and her emerald green eyes sparkled.
«Hey Babe.» Eric whispered in her ears as he folded his arms around her. Calleigh smiled widely before reality hit her and her eyes widened in fear.
«Eric not here!» She whispered to him a little frightened to be seen by someone.
«Cal relax there is nobody here, just you and me. I checked the aisles before I came here.» Eric replied to calm her down while he held her by her waist.
«Oh well, that´s good. But you, we, can´t do anything here that will make anyone suspicious. You know, work is work even though we are off the clock and nobody´s here.» Eric just smiled at her widely.
«Why are you smiling?» Calleigh chuckled.
«Because you are so hot when you are a little worried.» He said while he pulled her closer to himself.
«That´s not funny at all mister.» Calleigh smiled and hit him gently in the upper arm while she pulled herself longer apart from him so he lost his hands on her waist.
«Hey, why did you do that?»
«Because you needed it.» Eric stepped one step forward and grabbed her around her waist, pulled her body close to his and lowered his head down to hers before he whispered playfully and happy «kiss me and we are even.»
She smiled back at him and bit her lower lip and leaned her head so close to his that their lips were only a few millimeters from each other's. But then they heard the locker room door open and slam shut, both of them panicked and Eric released Calleigh from his arms ad turned himself in front of his own locker, which was right next to Calleigh´s. Calleigh did the same thing and pulled down her shirt, which had gotten a little bit up.
«Hey man!» Ryan smiled to Eric.
«Hey» Eric replied back and tried to hide his nervousness.
«Calleigh I am sorry it took so long, Natalia asked me to lock in the evidence box from the case today. But I just need to grab my jacket and then I am good to go.»
«That´s fine Ryan, I´ll wait for you and my car is out front of the building.»
«Okay, just give me one minute.»
Eric was confused, Ryan driving home with Calleigh? Why was he driving with her home? Did they have plans? Had she forgot about our plans for the day? What was going on? Eric got more and more questions as the clock ticked, so he had to ask.
«Where are you guys going?» He asked curious and pretended it was the most natural thing.
«I am getting a ride home from Calleigh, because mine is at the car shop getting a new alarm system. It was supposed to get finished by the end of my shift, but it has not so I need a ride home.»
«Oh, okay man. Have a nice day and I´ll see both of you tomorrow.» Eric smiled at them both and headed out of the locker room and into the elevator.
The ride to Ryan´s place was very quiet from Calleigh´s side, Ryan was talking about the case and what he thought about it. All Calleigh could think about was Eric and that they almost got busted by Ryan like Ryan had almost managed several times before. But this time she didn´t have the feeling that she was angry with Eric because of it. This time she wished that Ryan had busted them or that they had or could tell everybody about their relationship. Calleigh was amazed by her new feelings about it, because everybody knew that Calleigh was a girl who held her private life private and that was really the way she liked it the most. But now she felt like they deserved to know it and she really just wanted to scream it out to the world that Eric was hers.
Suddenly her phone snapped her out from her thoughts, she grabbed her phone and read the caller ID, Eric.
«Duquesne» She answered joyfully.
«Beautiful, you are still coming over to my place after you have driven home Wolf?»
«Yeah I am on my way over to your place now and I´ll be there in ten minutes top.» She replied with a huge smile on her face.
«That´s fantastic, because I am almost done making spaghetti for us and after we have eaten we or I am going to finish what we or I barely started with in the locker room.» Eric replied with a sexy voice and a huge grin on his face.
«Mmm, that´s something to look forward to I am starving.» Calleigh replied with a tricky voice.
«Both of them better be, but then I´ll see you soon babe.»
Eric was cooking the spaghetti when he heard the key unlock his apartment door and his beautiful girlfriends voice say «Hey Babe» Eric´s face brightened up at the sound of her voice and walked out of his kitchen and towards his front door.
«Hey beautiful» Eric replied to her as he folded his arms around her waist and gave her a few kisses.
«Now we´re even Mr.» Calleigh replied smiling. Eric let out a soft laugh and kissed her one more time.
«I have made spaghetti, meatballs and salad for dinner and for desert I was thinking….» Eric smiled and lifted his eyebrows up and down.
«Hahaha, we´ll see how dinner turns out and then..» Calleigh finished her sentence with a quick kiss on Eric´s lips and walked into the kitchen while Eric stood there for a minute amazed by his girlfriend.
The dinner went by with small talks about the LAB, the cases they had worked on earlier and what they wanted to do this weekend. When they were done eating their meal Eric took their plates and put them in the dishwasher, when he turned around he saw Calleigh putting the pots on the stove and took his opportunity to sneak up behind her. He folded his arms around her waist and started kissing her on her neck and under her ear.
«So how about that desert?» he asked playfully.
Calleigh let out a soft laugh, «hmm..» before she turned around in his arms.
«I was thinking…» Calleigh said slowly and stopped before she finished her sentence «we could watch American Guns on Discovery channel»
Eric looked closely at her face, looking for any smiles or indications that this was a joke. There.. Eric saw a little grin on her face and he felt relived, Thank God.
«Hahaha, you are very funny.» He smiled took a step back and lifted her up in his arms.
«I don´t think so Babe.» « But I am really funny though.» Calleigh smiled and started kissing Eric on his neck while he carried her to her bedroom.
