First Kiss.
When Calleigh was in her car on the way back to the lab, she couldn't get the image of her crying husband out of her head. She had never seen him like that before. He wasn't the type of man to just break down and cry, not even before her.
The taste of his rough lips was still on hers, the taste she loved so much, simply because she loved kissing him. It hadn't always been that way though as they had started off as enemies. She had really hated him, the way he had put her and the team at the spot so many times.
She however loved fighting with him, always had, it made her release some steam. She didn't know if it had always been right to snap at him the way she did as he like her was just doing his job. It was only one time she knew she had the right to yell at him or so she felt, that was when she was involved in that shooting years back.
It was actually fighting that had led to them kissing in the first place. It was two years back when she was still with Eric. Rick had called them in to talk about the situation saying that one of them would have to transfer shift. Calleigh had been furious as there was no way she would leave her team. Rick had told her it was the policy and she had told him that he could take that a certain place where the sun wouldn't shine. They were at this point only a few inches apart, face to face.
She had been looking at him with angry eyes and he glared back at her when she snarled, "Why do you have to make everything so difficult, I hate you."
He had looked at her with shocked eyes before he had told her to cool down so they could discuss the matter in a rational way. The blonde had however for once refused to listen and before he could react and she could think it though, she had pushed him against the wall and pressed her lips against his hardly.
When she had finally realized what she was doing she broke free and looked at him with confused eyes. He looked back at her asking, "What was that?"
"I…I don't know," she stuttered as she really didn't know what had come over her. In fact she had no explanation for what she had just done.
"And here I thought you were madly in love with Eric," he said, looking at her with a foolish grin.
"Oh my Gosh, Eric," she said, giving him a warning look before she ran out.
A moment later the petite blonde had found herself in the ballistics lab thinking. Had she gone completely insane now? Kissing Rick, just like that. She was after all with Eric and she despised Rick. Her tongue gently swiped over her lips, they tasted like him. She sighed as she put her head in her hands. All she knew was that she couldn't let it happen again, at least while she was with Eric….
Calleigh was at times wondering what she was doing with him. She did love him that much she knew; she just wasn't sure of what way she did love him. And the bedroom department, well that could have been better.
He loved her more than anything that much she knew. And even if he didn't always do the right things he always knew how to make it up to her. She smiled thinking about the bouquet of flowers she had received the other day just because he had been a bit sour the same morning.
Yes he was a good match to her, but if that was true, why had she just kissed Rick, she let out a groan of frustration and figured it should remain with that and better be forgotten. It was better than way. Because there was no way she would ever let herself end up with Rick.
Feedback always welcome and very much appreciated :o)
