AN: Finally an update. I'm sorry I don't have the time to update so much lately. I just started University and it's just crazy. I hope everything will be back to normal soon so I have more time to write and update this story. Thanks to all of you who reviewed. Your reviews make me really happy and I'm glad you like my story.


Eric woke up the next morning and felt a light tickle on his face. As he wiped his face, he recognized long blonde hair. With a smile, Eric reached out to pull Calleigh closer. She wiggled a little in his arms but then snuggled up against his body. Eric smiled and placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.

"Cal," he whispered. She wiggled again in his arms and refused to open her eyes, causing Eric to laugh. "Hey baby, wake up."

Calleigh groaned lightly and then opened her eyes. She looked up at him, a light smile playing around her lips. "Morning," she murmured and placed her head back on his shoulder.

Eric chuckled. "Not really a morning person, huh?"

Calleigh smiled and placed a soft kiss on his shoulder. "Depends on how one wakes me up."

Eric smirked and pushed Calleigh lightly onto her back. "So, how do you want me to wake you up then?" He softly ran a hand down her arm but gave her enough space to pull away if she wanted to.

Calleigh grinned. "Oh, I guess you'll figure it out," she said, then pushed Eric onto his back and got up. "I'll take a shower. You make coffee."

Eric shook his head but smiled to himself. "I guess making coffee is one of the good ways," he called after her.

While Calleigh was in the shower, Eric went into the kitchen and made coffee, like Calleigh had asked him. He leaned casual against the counter and waited for her to exit the bathroom. Every once in a while, he took a sip from the coffee mug he held in his right hand. A few moments later Calleigh appeared in the doorway.

"Coffee, please?" she asked. She wore the same clothes as the day before and as she walked towards him, he could smell his shower gel. He held out a cup of coffee.

"Thanks," she replied, and then took a sip. Calleigh stood in front of him and looked Eric in the eyes.

He ran his index finger softly down her nose and, "I'm gonna take a shower now." He placed his cup on the counter and walked into the bathroom.

Eric heard Calleigh laugh behind him. He still couldn't believe his luck, that he could call Calleigh Duquesne his girlfriend. He was even a little proud of her that she didn't run when it came to talking about her feelings.

When Eric came out of the bathroom and walked back into the kitchen, Calleigh was sitting on his counter, with a dreamy smile on her face. She held her now empty coffee cup in one hand and her legs hung over the edge of the counter. He walked over to her and stood in front of her.

"What?" he asked with an amused look.

"Nothing," she replied and set the cup down beside her so that her arms were free to wrap them around Eric's neck.

He smiled. "Must be something. What were you thinking about? You had a very dreamy look on your face and I'd love to know what put it there," Eric said with a wink.

Calleigh gave him a sweet smile. "Oh come on, you probably know what I was thinking about and just wanna hear that you put the look on my face."

Eric smiled sheepish. "Am I that easy to see through?"

She laughed and ran her fingers lightly through his hair. "No, I just know you way too well."

Eric placed his hands on either side of Calleigh's body and stepped between her legs. He leaned closer but just before their lips met, she pulled away and said, "We should leave if we wanna go to my apartment before the shift starts. And we don't wanna be late, do we?"

Eric groaned. "Am I ever going to get that kiss?"

Calleigh smiled triumphantly. "That depends."

"On?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"On what you are cooking me tonight," she said as the smile on her face widened.

"You can't be serious," Eric replied and tried to sound shocked but the smile that tugged at the corner of his lips gave it away.

Calleigh pushed Eric away gently and gave him an apologetic look before she hopped off the counter. She grabbed his hand and guided him to the door.

They made their way over to Calleigh's apartment and chatted over casual things. When Eric pulled into the parking lot in front of her building, Calleigh asked, "Wanna come up?"

"Sure," he replied. Eric got out of the car and followed Calleigh into her apartment.

"You want something to drink?" Calleigh asked as she entered her kitchen.

Eric approached her. "I wouldn't say no to a coffee," he replied.

Calleigh grinned wickedly at him. "Feel free to make some."

Eric chuckled. "So, I'm making the coffee and you're making … what exactly?"

She stepped a little closer to Eric and laid her hands on his chest. "I," she said. "Am gonna go change. 'Cos again, we don't wanna be late for work, do we?"

"Sometimes I could kill you for your professionalism," he said and tugged a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

She smiled. "You wouldn't want me any other way and you know it. But just so you know," she added. "Sometimes I hate it myself." With a wink she disappeared into her bedroom.

While Calleigh changed to fresh clothes, Eric made some fresh coffee for the two of them. He was looking through her cupboards when she came back in the kitchen.

"What are you looking for?" she asked.

Eric shrugged. "Just looking around."

"So, you're making yourself familiar with my kitchen. Are you planning on cooking me dinner here? So that I can kick you out if it doesn't taste well?"

Eric turned to face her. "Are you questioning my cooking skills?" he asked and raised his eyebrows.

"No, I'd never dare to do that," she teased.

"Calleigh Duquesne," Eric said and made a few steps towards her. "Stop making fun of me or I will not make you dinner. "

"Then you'd break one of the ground rules I set for this relationship."

Eric took another step towards her and a wide grin showed up on his face.

"What?" Calleigh asked, slightly confused.

"You're still not as tall as I am, although you've got your favorite shoes on," he noticed.

Calleigh rolled her eyes. "Shut up or you'll never get to kiss me!"

"Now that," Eric took a few steps toward Calleigh and closed the gap that separated them. "That would just be mean."

Calleigh smirked. "Who said I'm a nice girl?" She walked around Eric to pick up a cup of coffee from the counter and then leaned casually against it.

Eric turned around to her. "Oh, I don't know. Somebody told me once that you'd be a nice girl. I guess they were wrong."

Calleigh laughed lightly. "Yup, whoever told you that was totally wrong."

"Then I guess I have to live with that fact that you're an evil person."

She shook her head, wanting to look serious but a smile tugged at her mouth and she took a sip from her coffee. Eric walked over to her and stepped right in front of her. He leaned down so that their faces were even and he placed his hands on the counter, trapping Calleigh.

"Now we're gonna see how mean you really are," Eric whispered and leaned in.

He closed the remaining space between them and pressed his lips softly to hers. She sighed softly making Eric smile against her lips. He nibbled lightly at her bottom lip, asking for permission to deepen the kiss. Calleigh opened her mouth a little and gave him access. He slid his tongue inside and softly explored her mouth. She teased him by gentle biting his tongue and then pulled him closer and deepened the kiss. Eric slipped his arms around her waist, pulling her body as close as he could.

They shared a sweet kiss until they ran out of air and Calleigh pulled away. She smiled up at him and rested her hand on his chest, her forehead touching his. Eric's fingers played lightly with the waistband of Calleigh's shirt and he placed a soft kiss on her nose.

"Not as evil as you just said," he said and grinned.

Calleigh laughed and wrapped her arms around Eric. She rested her head on his chest and Eric rested his chin on her head.

"Thanks for letting me in," Eric whispered after a while.

Calleigh looked up at him. "I'm assuming that you don't mean my apartment…" she teased.

Eric laughed lightly. "No, I'm not talking about your apartment."

They stayed a few more minutes like that until Calleigh spoke again. "We should leave or we'll be late for work," she said.

Eric nodded. "Okay," he said. "But before we leave, I get another kiss." He leaned in and kissed Calleigh again. The kiss was more passionate then the first was, but it was equally soft and tender.

When they broke apart, Calleigh took Eric's hand and guided him out of the apartment.
