Eric and Calleigh had been together for a little over a year now . It had been a shock to everyone at work , mostly because they didn't figure it out themselves .
But this was probably one of the best relationships he had ever been in . It was more than just a fling , he really wanted to be with Calleigh , he had decided that she was the one . She had personality , brains , and her looks were just icing on the cake . Eric loved her , and he hoped she feels the same way . Especially since he was going to propose tomorrow .
Surprisingly Calleigh had no idea . Eric had almost expected Calliegh to find out with all the people he'd told .
" Hey Natalia . Eric's been acting so strange lately , any idea why ? "
" PMS ? "
Both girls giggled at that but Calleigh said " Really though . I haven't seen him at home the past few nights , I told him no sex , before we get married and he agreed he didn't want it to be that kind of relationship . And , well it wouldn't be a good thing to get pregnant right now . But ... I don't know . "
With that Natalia immediately stopped her giggles and put on a serious face . "Calleigh , Eric loves you more than anything in the World , and he would never ever leave you . "
" I know . I am just being stupid . Thanks . "
" Sometimes you just need to talk about it . "
" I know . Talk to you later ? "
" Of Course ! "
Calleigh called Eric on her way home from work . It was his day off and she expected him to be home , but he didn't answer their phone . She hung up and called his cell phone . He answered after two rings .
" Hey Baby . "
" Hey . What are you doing ? "
" I'm at the store . "
" Buying anything for me ? "
" Maybe . "
Eric was actually buying everything he needed to cook a fancy dinner for them tonight . He wanted everything to be perfect when he proposed .
" OK . Gonna be home soon ? "
" Yeah , probably in about an hour . You ? "
" On my way now . "
" Maybe you should go do something with Natalia tonight , I mean , until like 7:00 . "
" Eric ! It's only 3:00 ! Are you trying to get rid of me ? "
" Is it working ? "
" ERIC ! "
" It's a surprise , OK ? I can't get ready unless you aren't home . You can do anything you like, just don't be home when I get there , but be back by 7:00 ."
" It better be worth it . I wanted to go home to sleep . But if you really want me to , I'll go out shopping with Natalia . "
" Thank You honey . Love You . "
" Love you more . "
" Not possible . "
She loved the little game they played . It always made her feel special and loved .
She hung up and called Natalia .
" Hello ? "
" Hey . I am feeling so much better . Eric is planning a surprise for me . "
" Good . Any clue what ? "
Natalia already knew and Eric had asked her to keep Calleigh busy .
" Nope . "
" Good , all the better for a surprise . Want to come shopping ? "
" Yeah , I was just going to ask you . "
" Cool . Lets meet at the mall in about an hour . "
