Chapter 3
She lay awake, unable to sleep, she got up and decided to go get a glass of water, quietly she tiptoed through the living room where Horatio was and into the kitchen, he heard her go through as he wasn't asleep, he couldn't sleep either.
She got herself the glass of water and was heading back to her room with it,
'Calleigh?', Horatio called, sitting up,
'Oh, sorry Horatio, did I wake you?'
'No, I couldn't sleep,'
'Me either,' she walked over and sat on the end of the sofa, he shuffled his feet up to give her some room,
'You want some water,' she asked, handing him the glass,
'Sure,' he answered, taking a sip and handing it back to her, she placed it on the table only then realising the wine glasses were still there, she'd clear them in the morning, she figured.
Horatio sat up completely and took hold of Calleigh's hand, she looked at him surprised but his expression hadn't changed,
'Why can't you sleep?', he asked her, softly,
'I don't know, just not tired any more,' she smiled,
'Me neither,' he replied, smiling back, Calleigh leaned back against the back of the couch. Horatio squeezed her hand as he got up.
'Be right back,' he said, as he headed towards the bathroom, she nodded and smiled, she leaned her head back and closed her eyes but still couldn't sleep. She looked up as Horatio came back in.
He walked over to her cd player and put on some slow music. He turned back to Calleigh and offered her his hand,
'Would you like to dance?', he asked her in a suave voice, Calleigh smiled and replied,
'But you have no trousers on,' she looked at him confused expression on her face,
'Well neither do you,' he replied taking in her silk night gown that stopped an inch or two above the knee, she looked down at herself, and smiled, then she smiled at him,
'I believe your right handsome,' she took his hand and he pulled her close to him, her heart began to beat faster and she was sure he would hear it if the music wasn't on.
He could also feel his heart beating faster from being in such close proximity to Calleigh Duquesne.
He slowly slipped his hands around her waist, and she slipped her hands up his chest to his shoulders and around his neck.
She couldn't help but notice how muscular his chest was, she looked up into his deep blue eyes again and was lost in them, as Horatio looked back into her gorgeous, dark green eyes, he thought to himself that he could stay here like this forever and just stare into her eyes, he pulled her closer to him still looking into her eyes, he glanced down at her lips, her beautiful red lips, he thought, and back to her eyes, she noticed him look and she did the same, glancing down at his lips, then back to his amazing blue eyes.
