Calleigh and Eric were laying in her bed, Calleigh in Eric arms just as usual.
«Hey, you never answered my question while we were in the ocean.» Calleigh raised her head up so she was watching his face.
«And what question was that?» Eric replied softly back and kissed her on her forehead.
«Was I the first one you´ve had sex with in the water?» Calleigh smiled widely at him and with a happy face.
«Ouch, that one hurt.» Eric replied with a frown on his head. Calleighs mouth opened and she gave him a slap on his abdomen.
«Oh you have! How many times?» Eric watched her face go from shock to demanding an answer.
«No I haven´t done something sexual with any other woman in the ocean other than you. But what did hurt is you saying it was just sex..» Calleigh looked at him with a frown, thinking what her answer to that should be.
«Oh, I didn´t mean just sex, that sounds so randomly, like it was a random hookup.»
«You know Calleigh, I´m never having sex with you.» Eric said softly and with a calm voice, he was about to continue his sentence but Calleigh prevented him.
«Oh you are not? Well good luck with that Mr.!» Eric turned them around so he was no on top of Calleigh.
«If you had not said anything there, it would have been very romantic.» Calleigh lifted her eyebrows waiting for him to continue.
« I´m never having sex with you Cal, because I´m making love to you. It´s so much more than just sex, it´s about pleasing the woman you love and knowing how to do it and you do it with your whole body and heart.» Calleigh felt so loved and took his hands between her palms and gave him a big kiss.
«I´m the definitely the luckiest woman on this planet.» Calleigh gave him another kiss «I love you Eric» and one more to show him just how much.
I can´t believe this is the last time I stand inside my own house for a whole year, today is the day a different chapter is beginning. I´m moving away from my home, my job, my friends but the saddest thing about it all is moving away from my man. I cant believe I´m actually doing this, why am I doing this? Because I said yes to the job offer. Calleigh stop! I don´t know how it will be over there, I can´t think bad about it, I have to stay positive! Everything will be fine, I just hope everything with Eric and myself will be okay.
«Calleigh are you ready, we have to get to the airport, everything is loaded into the trunk, so we are ready to go.» Eric called from the driveway.
«I´m coming, just a second» Calleigh called back at him. She was standing in her door, ready to close and lock it for a long time. Calleigh had her eyes on her hall and living room one last time, looking at her beautiful perfect styled living room. Her eyes landed on a picture, she couldn´t see the picture clearly but she knew what it was a picture of. Eric and herself, she ran in and looked at it before she put it in her handbag while she was walking to the door again. She closed and locked her front door, I´ll see you soon.
Eric looked at her sad face when she walked to the car and sat herself in the front passenger seat, she was hurting. He could see on her face that she didn´t want to leave, that she was afraid if things would change when she was away. Now it´s my time to be strong for her as she has been for me these couple of days.
Calleigh buckled up and looked at her garage door, after a few seconds she felt Eric take her hand in his and looking at her.
«Heeey, look at me.» Eric said with a sweet and calming voice and Calleigh looked up at his face with a sad face on her own.
«Everything will be all right; you should be happy and filled with excitement. Nothing is going to change Cal, everyone will be right here when you come back and everyone loves you, you leaving for a year won´t change that. Your house will be here, friends and family will be here and I will be here when you come back. I love you Cal and that´s not going to change» Calleigh was looking deep into Erics eyes and her smile widened, she leaned her body over to him and gave him a sweet kiss.
«Mrs. Duquesne here is your passport and boarding card, you can now go to the security control» the lady in the luggage board said with a sweet voice and smiled at Eric and her.
The couple started to walk out of the line, and Eric took his arm around her waist and Calleigh took hers around his.
«You heard what that lady called you?» Eric said with a smile and looked at her, Calleigh wrinkled her eyebrows
«Ms. Duquesne?» Eric leaned closer to her face and answered
«Mrs. Duquesne» with a grin on his face and lifting his eyebrows up and down. Calleigh looked back at him smiling and laughing a little laugh, Eric leaned in and gave her a kiss on her cheek as they were walking to the security.
Calleigh and Eric had been talking and laughing their whole time in the line, but now it was only about ten people before Calleigh. Eric looked at the speed the line was going and on Calleighs face, she was happier than she had been in the car, but he could see her face starting to change. This was their last moments together for a while, when she had walked through that metal detector she was on her own and he was behind alone. Eric took her hands in his and looked her deeply in her eyes.
«Here we are now, everything is about to change, we face tomorrow as we say goodbye to yesterday. A chapter is ending but the stories only just begun, a page is turning for everyone. I know I´ll miss you, but we´ll meet again in a few months, you and I Calleigh, we´ll never fade away. I love you sweetheart more than anything in this whole wide world» Eric was holding around Calleigh, his nose was touching hers and he smiled
«You are the one, beautiful, for me you are.» and he gave her a sweet but long-lasting kiss. Calleighs heart was melting, the words that had just left his mouth was the sweetest she had ever heard, she was so grateful for this man and for how he treated her. She kissed him back with every sweet she had in her lips, as their lips parted she was looking at him and smiling. «I love you so much» and she placed her hand on his cheek and gave him one more kiss.
«I love you too Cal»
There was only one person in front of Calleigh now, and all she wanted to do was to grab Eric and run far away. Calleigh started to take of her jacket, belt, sunglasses and lay her purse in the box, ready for security scanning.
This was their last moments together and Eric took his hands on her waist and turned her around.
«I love you beautiful and I will miss you so much!» Eric leaned in and gave her a kiss, a kiss she was giving her whole body into.
«You have a nice trip, and when you get home to your UK place, you call me and tell me all about it. Stay positive and you´ll have a great time over the big ocean.» Eric smiled and talked with his softest voice, Calleigh smiled back at him and she was so grateful for this man.
«Oh lord, I love you so much Eric! We´ll talk soon and I´ll show you everything on Skype» It was now Calleighs turn so she gave him one last kiss and a big bear hug and he whispered in her ear.
«Te amo Querida» Calleigh loved when he talked romantic to her in different languages, either Russian or Spanish.
«I´ll see you soon hot stuff» Calleigh started to walk to the metal detector and turned to look at his face, he was laughing and smiling. Right before she turned back around she heard Eric starting to talk.
«I loved those curls» He was smiling and laughing back at her, remembering how she looked that day when she first had called him '' hot stuff ''. Calleigh walked through the detector, collected her things and walked off to her gate.
