Chapter 2
Chapter 2.
21st of February
The ice front was growing between Calleigh and Horatio, and the whole lab was expecting a war could brake out any second. Until now there had only been a silent war with no talking and hateful and angry looks, and they were both great at it.
Calleigh was walking out of the break room with a coop of coffee while Horatio was walking in, eyes in some documents not seeing where he was going and walked right into her causing the coffee to spill out on her light blue blouse.
"Horatio, what the hell, I have to be in court in less then a hour, and thanks to you now I got nothing to wear" said Calleigh angrily.
"It's not like I was the only one that wasn't looking" Horatio defended him self.
"Are you blaming this on me?" she asked.
"On us both" he said and added: So how are you?
"Nunna ya bloody business" she said still angry about the blouse.
"Jeez I was just asking" he said.
"Just stay away from me ok" she said and walked towards her office.
Horatio was watching her from behind, he got shocked when she said in a sharp tone "Will ya please stop staring at me.
Horatio just sighed, he missed his happy, cheerful Calleigh, since he really hated to argue with her.
Calleigh got back from court, her head was aching like it always did when she had been in court and she hated it. She walked into her office and sat down and sat down by her desk when she saw the box of aspirin on it. She smiled since she knew the only one that could have put it there was Horatio. Even if she was still mad at him it was kinda sweet. She swallowed a few and turned on her laptop and saw the background picture, it was her and Horatio.
How come she could miss him so bad, even though she was mad at him. She even felt she needed him badly. She closed her eyes and wondered if he would ever remember about the forgotten anniversary and if he was going to forget about her birthday to. She sighed, rubbed her neck before she started to work.
Later that night Horatio was walking into the wardrobe to change before he went home. Then he spotted Calleigh changing, and getting her self all pretty.
He was wondering who she was getting all dressed up for and went over and asked: So where are you going?
"A dinner date" she said and combed her hair.
"With whom?" he asked curiously and with a bit of jealousy, wondering who was taking his girl out for dinner.
"I don't see why that is any of you concern" she said and closed the locker before she locked it.
"As long as you're my girl I think I have the right to know who you're seeing" he said.
"I have the right to see whomever I want without your permission" she said a bit annoyed.
"As long as it is not another man" he said.
"As a matter a fact it is" she replied.
"So you're seeing a another man behind my back, that's nice" said Horatio angrily.
"How can you accuse me of that, you know I'm NOT like THAT" she said both hurt and frustrated that he would even think that.
"But you just said that you're having a dinner date with another man, what am I supposed to think" said Horatio.
"You know I thought you both loved and trusted me, I guess I was wrong, and for the record I'm having dinner with my dad" she said and left, tears were coming from her eyes as she run towards her car.
"Don't I feel like a bloody idiot" he thought.
Horatio felt like he all he did was messing up more and more. For a short moment he wondered if he was going to follow her, but he figured if he did that she would be right in he not trusting her so he sighed and went home instead.
Calleigh found her father at the restaurant, gave him a peck the check and sat down.
Kendall looked at his daughter, she looked both sad and tired, and her face looked grimy like she had been crying so he asked: Lamb-chop are you ok?
"Yes daddy" she said in a girlish tone.
But he can see that she was lying so he said: Young lady, you know you can't lie to me so tell me what's wrong.
"It's Horatio, he forgot our anniversary" she said sadly.
Kendall know how important these things were for wimen and asked: Did he at least make up for it?
"No, he doesn't even know what he did wrong, and he hurt me right before I came here to" said Calleigh.
"What did he do?" Kendall asked and Calleigh explained.
"I see" said Kendall as they ordered their food and drinks.
"Daddy, do you think he will make it right" Calleigh asked.
"Yes lamb-chop I do" said Kendall and added: He probably feeling like a fool right now.
Calleigh smiled, somehow her father always made her cheer up, even the times he had mad a mess of things.
"Thanks dad" she said.
"You really love him, don't ya?" Kendall asked.
"I do, I really do" she said.
"He's a great man" said Kendall since he always thought so.
"But" said Calleigh.
"But why did you have to fall for a an that is twice as old as you?" he asked.
"Since he's the greatest man in the world, and even if I'm angry at him at the moment, I really love him, and to me his age don't matter" she said dreamily.
Kendall just shook his head and sighed, when Calleigh fell in love with someone her head was always in the clouds, he just hope that Horatio would make up for what he did so she wouldn't end up with a broken heart again. Then the dinner was served so they put the talking away for a while to talk.
That night Calleigh lay in bed thinking as the soft, cold wind from outside caressed her breasts. It felt so good. But she still wished Horatio was there kissing her breasts. Kissing his way down to her belly, then take her as a wild storm, before he would gently kiss her and tell her how much he loved her before they both fell a sleep in each others arms.
Calleigh missed not having him there, feeling his warmth and his strong arms around her to feel safe. She felt so alone, sad, and like a piece of her heart was missing without him there. She shivered from the cold and because she was crying since he was not there.
Calleigh pulled the quilt around her self to feel warmer, but it was not the same, something was missing and that something was him.
Calleigh startled when her phone on the nightstand was vibrating because of a message, she opened it and read: Sweetheart, I know you're probably still mad at me, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry for that thing earlier today. Hope the aspirin got ride of your headache. Just wanted to wish you sweet dreams my love. See you bright and early. Horatio.
Calleigh smiled and wondered how he could always remember how she got a headache in court, but not their anniversary. But on the other hand the aspirin showed how well he actually knew her and the gesture was kinda sweet, so she wrote back: Horatio, thanks for the aspirin, my head is much better, but don't take this message as any sigh that I have forgiven you, since I'm still angry and hurt by your actions. Calleigh.
Horatio read the message with a little smile, at least she was replaying, that was a start, but she was still angry. He looked at the nicely wrapped birthday presents for her. He figured that he'd be better of if he bough her something, she couldn't shoot him for that, well technically she could, but he still wanted to give it a shoot it couldn't hurt. Besides a lot could happen in a week, she might forgive him.
Well that depended of course if he could remember what he had forgotten in the first place. Then he looked at the picture of the two of them and at the calendar next to it and then the pieces suddenly fell to place. He wondered of all the stupid things he could forget, why did he have to forget about the anniversary of their first date, specially since it was on Valentines day. No wonder she was upset and hurt. What an idiot he had been.
He had to make this right by her, and it had to be something big, something she didn't expect. Then he knew what it had to be, but he decided to wait until the birthday to surprise her.
"Oh my beloved Calleigh how could I forget when I love you so much" he thought and went to sleep.
