AN: Standard Disclaimer. Because you asked so nicely here is another chapter. I had tons of reviews on the first chapter and I'm asking so sweetly "Please keep reviewing!"

Thanks to Dikent, suedesigns101, Margaret Fowler, and BeautifulBabeForever for ideas on the continuance. All of you came up with some wonderful ideas that I intend to use. I hope you continue to let me know of any ideas that you have.

My grandpa passed away yesterday morning and his funeral is Thursday, I will say that I hope to be able to post at least two chapters a week and once things are settled I will start posting again daily throughout the week.

Please continue to review, the first chapter had many reviews but it appears I'm not getting many reviews for the continuing chapters.

It was Sunday and Cal had came over last night and asked me out again. He said it was a surprise as to where we were going but dress comfortably. It was a nice day to day with the high in the 70's, I dressed in khaki Capri's, a pink v neck shirt, and pink flip flops.

I was to be ready to leave at 10 am and plan to be gone all day. I had called my mom to let her know I wouldn't be making it to dinner that I had a date. She seemed somewhat pleased with that news but still wished I was with Morelli.

I double checked to make sure I had everything before Cal arrived. He knocked on the door just before 10 and I opened it. He looked amazing in dark wash jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and brown Doc Marten's. He smiled down at me before leaning in and giving me a soft tender kiss.

"So, where are we going?" I asked as soon as he stopped kissing me.

"It's a surprise but I know you will enjoy it. Are you ready?" I grabbed my purse which held everything I might need and locked the door before walking to the elevator with Cal on my heels.

We got to his truck and once again he helped me in before going around getting in on the driver's side. I noticed after he had driven for about twenty minutes that we were heading to Point Pleasant.

"Are we going to Point Pleasant?" I wondered aloud.

"We are." Was his vague response.

We held hands the whole way to Point Pleasant and it was very comforting. He had soft rock playing quietly on the radio as we drove and we were in a comfortable silence. I had never truly realized how comfortable I was with him until now.

We didn't need to talk to be comfortable around each other, we didn't need the mindless chit chat, it was enough just being together. I couldn't help but wonder when that had happened, when had I become so comfortable with Cal. There were many instances where it could have happened but I couldn't seem to pinpoint one.

It was a strange feeling to know that I was so completely comfortable with him and not know when it became that way. There had never been any doubt in my mind that Cal was a good man but I felt that way about all of the Merry Men. Cal and I always got along even though he was embarrassed about passing out when my sister's water broke on him but in all honesty I probably would have passed out too.

I glanced over at him and noticed he was deep in thought, I could tell by the way his brow was furrowed as if he was trying to figure something out.

"Deep thoughts?" I questioned.

"Just thinking about how things came about between us." He replied.

"Great minds must think alike because I had been thinking about something similar."

"Really?" He asked.

"Yep!" I noticed we were pulling into the parking lot of Jenkinson's Aquarium.

I had wanted to visit Jenkinson's but any time I was in Point Pleasant I was either thinking or wallowing in self pity. I was excited that he'd thought to bring me here and realized this was going to be a fun date and I could definitely use some fun. We walked in and Cal paid for our tour and pulled a camera out of his pocket and handing it to me.

We walked through numerous exhibits but my favorite was the penguins, some of them posed when I went to take their picture. I know it sounds crazy but I swear they were posing. We spent a while walking through the aquarium and looking at the different animals.

After we had seen all the exhibits Cal took me to an area where you could adopt an animal.

"Do you want to adopt an animal?" He asked me.

"I would love to." He picked up the list of animals that we could adopt and we chose to adopt a penguin. It was a younger female penguin named Dassen.

We filled out the required paperwork and Cal paid the adoption fee. By adopting a penguin we got a plush penguin, an id band that matched the beads on the penguin, animal adoption certificate, a fact sheet about Dassen, a picture of Dassen, two aquarium passes, an animal art print and a biography sheet on Dassen.

After we had finished that and got all of our things we walked back to the truck and loaded the stuff in before he walked me to the boardwalk where they had different rides. Cal paid for wrist passes so we could ride whatever we wanted without having to worry about tickets.

We rode the Boardwalk Bounce, Wave Swinger, Moby Dick, Super Himalaya, Twister, Tornado, and Flitzer. After we rode Flitzer we stopped at the photo booth and got a souvenir picture. After that we went to Jenkinson's Pavilion Restaurant. We were seated at a table outside and Cal ordered a bottle of Twisted Cabernet Wine and Lobster Bruschetta for an appetizer.

We looked over our menus silently and the choices all sounded delicious. Our waiter came back with our wine and appetizer and we ordered our dinner. I ordered Chicken Neapolitan with roasted potatoes and corn, Cal ordered Black Angus Bone in Strip Steak with roasted potatoes and a side salad.

"Cal, thank you for a wonderful day." I told him before I took a bite of Bruschetta.

"Angel, I'm just glad you were willing to go out with me. You always looked at me as a person and not some scary bad ass with a tattoo on his forehead."

"If you judge people, you have not time to love them. My grandma Mazur told me that all growing up and so I tend not to judge people. I would rather wait to get to know them before I make a judgment on them." He reached across the table and smiled at me.

"And that Angel is what makes you so wonderful." I couldn't help but smile back.

"What about you Cal, most people see me as a bumbling idiot that needs to quit her job since all I'm good for is entertainment and stalkers."

"You are such a strong person; you are determined, stubborn, strong – willed, and passionate. That's part of what makes you intriguing, you are not a bumbling idiot I don't care what anyone says. You always get your man and maybe a lot of it is luck but if you got training you would be truly unstoppable."

"You sure know how to make a girl feel good about herself." He chuckled at me.

"I'm only speaking the truth." Our dinner was finally being brought to us.

I dug in moaning appreciatively since it was amazing. I noticed Cal staring at me. I smiled after I swallowed my bite.

"Sorry."

"Angel, it's a part of you to moan while you eat and enjoy your food. I'm okay with that I would even say I love that you are like that." I continued eating.

We finished out meal and the waiter brought the ticket which Cal paid before taking me down the boardwalk and buying me an ice cream cone. Surprisingly he ate one too. We continued walking down the boardwalk and people watching before we decided it was time to head back to Trenton.

It was the best Sunday I'd had in a long time. He helped me in the truck and then got in on the driver's side and started it. We were both silent and apparently lost in our own thoughts until halfway back to Trenton and then Cal broke the silence. Shocking I know.

"Angel, I would like to take you someplace special to me if you will allow it."

"I'd love to go somewhere special to you."

He drove for a while until we were just outside of Trenton in a wooded area and he pulled into a small brick house. I looked at him questioningly and he just smiled.

"This is my house Angel."

"Your house, I thought you lived at Rangeman?" I asked him.

"I do when I'm on duty but anytime I'm off work I stay here. I stay there simply because it's close to work and I don't want to make a 45 minute drive into work every day." I nodded.

"That makes sense." He got out of the truck and walked around helping me out.

We walked into the house it was a fairly small house consisting of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, and dining area.

The living room was done in a dark green and tan with a tan couch, loveseat, and recliner with tan carpet but there were hunter green curtains hanging on the windows. The kitchen had all stainless steel appliances and was done in black and white with a matching dining area.

He showed me the master bedroom and bathroom which were both done in a light blue and seemed to be calming. The bathroom had a separate shower and tub and double sinks. He showed me the other two bedrooms, one had been turned into an office and the other was done in just plain white with a blue and green comforter.

The office was stark white with a mahogany desk and a leather computer chair. There was a small leather sofa in dark brown sitting across from the desk. The extra bathroom was also plain in white with a clear shower curtain.

The house was quaint and comfortable. He led me back into the living room and seated us on the couch turning on the TV and putting it on a movie I had never heard of.

He sat sideways on the couch with one leg off the couch and his back leaned on the arm rest. He pulled me in between his legs and wrapped his arms around my waist. It was comfortable and felt right, a feeling I had never truly felt before.

I tilted my head and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Cal for being such an amazing man and caring about me for me."

"You make it easy Angel." I smiled and curled into him before falling asleep.

I woke a few hours later still curled up in Cal's arms. I turned to look at him and noticed he had fallen asleep too.

"Cal." I said semi loudly. He opened his beautiful eyes and looked at me.

"I guess I should get you home." He said looking at me.

I know a disappointed look must have crossed my face because he smiled at me.

"Or you could stay here; you can sleep in the master bedroom with me or the guest bedroom."

"I think I'd like to sleep in your arms tonight."

"I'd like that." He said before pushing me up and grabbing my hand and walking me to his bedroom.

He came out of the closet in a pair of basketball shorts and handed me one of his t shirts and boxers. I smiled at how well he knew me to even know what I slept in. I walked in the bathroom and changed clothes before walking into the bedroom and laying down in bed with him.

The bed was amazingly comfortable and I was asleep quickly wrapped in Cal's arms.
