Hey guys! Please Read and Review! Thanks
Chapter 7: The First Kiss
They found him. They found him and Horatio Caine was going to tear the man to pieces. Tripp started talking to him about conducting himself in an appropriate manner, but that didn't stop him, he walked right past his friend and right into the interrogation room. He slammed his hands down on the table and the hate was evident in his eyes.
"So, you really think I was just gonna let you hurt Becca like that?" Horatio said in a low deep voice.
"I was actually hoping you'd be there, kill two birds with one stone you know." He had his hands clasped behind his head, god this guy was an arrogant jerk.
"Well, right now my officers and I are racking up all the charges we can. We aren't gonna let you get away with anything this time."
"Yeah well, I'll be out in a few months on good behavior," He said as Eric Delko walked in.
"I highly doubt that sir," Horatio said.
"Well don't doubt it, and just so you know, Becca will turn on you just like she did me. She started to act like she hated me."
"I think she had a good reason to," Eric said, he could see the suspect was really pissing his boss off, everybody in the department knew to never mess with a pissed of Horatio Caine.
"Well, then she started sleeping around, got tied up in work all the time, never wanted to be home with me."
"Nobody believes you were actually the victim in the situation," Eric said.
"Well I was-," Horatio grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him into the wall.
"H, back off man," Horatio heard Eric say, he was not backing down.
"You listen, and you listen well. You are going to jail for a long time. If you get out before you die, you are not to come anywhere near Rebecca Kailey, if I find out you call her, or contact her in any way, shape or form, I will come after you, and it will be your last standing day on Earth." And with that, one very pissed off Horatio Caine left the crime lab.
Horatio walked into Becca's Store where he was greeted by Chris. Chris was quite the weird guy, but Horatio had kind of taken a liking to him.
"Hey chief, she's in the back with a customer." Chris said.
"They are talking about compatible fish to go in this guy's tank," Conner said as he came around the corner. "Morning Lieutenant," Conner said.
"Morning guys, where's Todd, I haven't seen him in awhile?" Horatio asked.
The two boys looked at each other, and then Becca came walking around the corner with a bag of two clownfish, "Hey guys, what's up?" Becca rang her customer up, and looked at Horatio's face. He was not a happy camper this morning. When Becca got him into her office, they sat in silence next to each other.
"I'm gonna take a few days off I think," Horatio said.
"Is everything alright? It isn't like you to just take time off Horatio. Do you want me to take some time off as well?"
"Everything is fine, I just need a break, and you can take time off if you want. It's your choice."
Rebecca knew something wasn't right, she held his hand and looked at him. She was trying to see if maybe he'd let her in. Horatio was trying to do better with telling her things, and so far it was great, but something had really bothered him.
"Was it the interrogation?" Becca asked.
"I really don't want to talk about that right now," Horatio was angry, not at Becca, but the way that man just degraded Becca, like she wasn't even human.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-," Becca started.
"No, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that sweetheart, I'm sorry."
That night, after the interrogation, Horatio was glad to be home with Rebecca. He liked to know she was safe. It was a week after Becca told him about her marriage, and since then, she had been staying at Horatio's house. Both weren't ready to move in together, but they didn't want to be apart either.
Becca's POV
Well, going home will be a relief. Staying at Horatio's home is still foreign to me, but I've had a great time, and that's all that matters. I need to get that tank set up for that customer tomorrow. I'll be busy even if I'm working from home, and I need to go grocery shopping.
Horatio's POV
It's been great having Becca here. I don't want her to leave. I miss her already. Should I just hug her bye tonight? Is she ready for something more though? How do you know? Marisol was always forward with me, so I never really needed to worry about reading women, and since I haven't been with anyone in a long time, I guess I'm a little rusty at it.
The two were doing dishes after dinner, and Horatio would wash, and Becca would dry.
"Hey, you missed a spot," Becca laughed.
"I did? That usually doesn't happen." Horatio tried to inspect the plate but before he knew it Becca was tickling him. Ok, this was weird. Horatio Caine, the redheaded badass who doesn't let anyone get in his way or bother anyone on his team or anyone he cared about, was almost crying with laughter at Becca tickled him. They laughed for like ten minutes straight.
"That was mean." Horatio laughed.
"I couldn't help it, it was great. I would have been super mad if you weren't ticklish. That would have been a total bummer." Becca said as they were laughing.
After finally finishing dishes, Becca went up and got her bag. Horatio wished she was still tickling him. Hell, she could tickle him all night if it meant she'd stay, but she had to go.
"Ok, well I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow." Becca said.
Horatio nodded, "Yeah,"
Becca grabbed Horatio's hand; she knew he didn't want her to leave. She walked a little closer to him and licked her lips. She searched in Horatio's eyes. She didn't want to do anything that would mess this up, or mess their future up, but Becca wanted to do this. She wanted to kiss Horatio Caine.
Becca's POV
We kissed gently, our lips just brushing. I've been kissed before, and I had kissed before, but it never felt like this. The softness of his lips on mine, his hand on my lower back, the other intertwined with mine, his tongue running along my lips and into my mouth. It was amazing.
Horatio's POV
Why did we never do this before? She's good at it, very good at it. Her hand is still intertwined with mine, and her other on my shoulder.
They didn't pull apart until their lungs were screaming with air. There they were, standing on Horatio's porch, and they didn't care. They smiled at each other, and shared a smaller sweet kiss, and Becca was on her way.
This was gonna be one hell of a lonely night.
Thanks, I hope you all liked. More chapters to come! Please read and review.
