This is my first CSI Miami fanfic, so read and review!
Jake Berkeley sighed and glanced at his watch. It was past 4 AM and he still hadn't slept a wink. Her couldn't stop thinking about her.
Her, and her stupid new Cuban boyfriend. He thought bitterly.
Eric Delko. Even his name brought a knot of rage into his stomach.
I knew I didn't like him. There was always something about that guy. Just the way he looked at Calleigh.
Calleigh. He missed her so much. He had stuck his neck out for her and gotten her evidence in a big case, blowing his cover. Then when he told her his reason for doing so, she blew him off. She knew he did it for her! She said she couldn't deal with him being undercover.
So he had waited. Waited for his opportunity to be a detective again so he and Calleigh could be together. That time had finally come, and he happily sought out Calleigh at the police station to tell her the good news.
And what had he seen when he got there? Calleigh, with her arms wrapped around DELKO. Calleigh kissing DELKO. Telling DELKO she would see him that night. Delko. Not him. Not the one who had risked his life for her. But Delko.
So, this Cuban CSI though he could take Calleigh away, huh? He thought he was better than him. I'll show him just how wrong he is. I'll show him AND Calleigh. I'll show them all.
Calleigh opened her eyes and smiled. Eric was two inches away, his eyes still closed. Her arm lay draped across his bare chest, and their legs were tangled together.
At first she was confused by the feeling that spread through her body. It was warm and tingly and she wasn't used to that. I feel so... Calm.
The thought was strange to her. With the stresses of her job and all the responsibilities that came with it, she hardly ever got to relax.
But with Eric it was different. It was like some tense knot in her automatically unraveled whenever he flashed that signature smile.
Beep beep beep
The alarm clock snapped Calleigh out of her reverie. Beside her, Eric's eyes fluttered open.
"Time for work," Calleigh said, smiling and sliding out from the warmth of the covers.
Eric flashed back a grin and said " I'll make coffee."
"Ryan, where have you been?" Natalia whisper-shouted. "H has bee looking everywhere for you, you were supposed to meet him in his office 15 minutes ago!"
Ryan just smiled and handed her a Starbucks cup. "I was busy picking something up for a special someone."
Natalia felt herself blush, but ignored it along with the tingly feeling racing through her body. She took a sip of the coffee and beamed.
"How on earth did you know my favorite was a vanilla bean latte?" She took another sip, "You even got me extra whip!"
Ryan laughed. "A little birdie told me." He glanced past her shoulder and rolled his eyes. "and speaking of whipped..."
Natalia looked back to where Eric and Calleigh were just getting out of the elevator and laughed. "Oh come on, they are not together!"
Ryan shrugged. "I wouldn't be so sure. You know Eric is totally in love with Calleigh!"
"Well, yeah, but I'm not so sure she returns the feelings." Natalia said.
"Alright, look at Calleigh." Ryan instructed. "Look at how she's looking at Delko. When have you seen her look at someone like that?"
Natalia blinked, looking surprised. "Actually... Never. Not even with Jake! Wow. She must really like him."
"Uhhh- huh." Ryan smirked, looking very impressed with himself.
"Hey, that doesn't mean they're together! You know how they are. Neither of them can ever admit their feelings about anything!" Natalia said.
"Wanna bet?" Ryan challenged.
"It's on," Natalia said, smiling. After they shook hand she looked at her watch. "Now go! You're late!"
"Oh yeah!" Ryan said, suddenly remembering. "Nat, what would I do without you?" Kissing her cheek, he ran off in the direction of Horatio's office.
Natalia, shocked, put her hand to her cheek and smiled happily at his retreating back.
