A/N : OMG I'm sooo sorry I haven't written in forever, and I've probably lost all my readers which makes everything I'm writing completely irrelevant, but, you know! Well, here's the next chapter, and I suggest that if you are starting to read this again, go back and read chapters 5 and 6, they'll get you up to date! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each C.S.I drove home slowly after a day of toiling with the case. All Morigan and Pamela thought about all night was the case, however Eryka was a different story, she spent most of her time thinking about Jake and what she was going to wear, right now she just wanted to relax and have fun. Eryka pulled up to her apartment's gate, waved to the guard at the gate as he lifted the barrier and parked in the underground parking lot. Then she headed upstairs to her apartment, it wasn't anything special, she couldn't afford it right now, she was paying off her mustang. Eryka grabbed her keys and opened the door; she dropped her briefcase with all her notes and other papers from the lab and sat down. She felt like falling asleep but she knew she had to start getting ready. Jake was going to pick her up, and take her out to dinner so Eryka decided to dress casual. Eryka peeled herself from the couch and walked towards her bedroom. She then began to put on her outfit and make-up. MEANWHILE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pamela pulled up to her small home's driveway and stepped out of her car with a sigh, she was tired from thinking of all today's happenings. Mindy, (Steven's girlfriend) didn't seem completely broken up when she and Eryka had questioned her; then again, Mr. Bates didn't even show a care in the world towards Steven's death. These were the two main suspects, and who knows who else out there could have done it, it could be anyone. By the time all these thoughts had passed Pamela's mind, she was inside the house and sitting on a chair in the living room. Then Pamela looked down and saw a piece her favorite t-shirt lying on the ground. "STORMY!!" she screamed. That was the name of Pamela's golden retriever. Stormy came running into the room with her tongue sticking out and a smile on her face. "What am I gonna do with you"? Pamela sighed and patted her on the head. Just then, a flash of lighting lit up the house and it started to pour outside. Pamela sat back in her lazy boy and closed her eyes, just to listen to the rain, and think about the case. Stormy lied beside her and fell asleep. MEANWHILE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morigan had just pulled into her townhouse garage when it started to pour. Great, Morigan thought, I'll step outside and be soaked, just another day in the life of Morigan. Tonight, instead of sitting down and looking at notes from her briefcase, Morigan decided to lie on her couch and watch some T.V. She also started to think about a C.S.I she saw walk into the lab. Morigan thought he was cute, and considered asking him if he wanted to go for a coffee or something like that, but she was shy. His name was Josh Caine, he had blonde hair and piercing green eyes. He and Morigan had talked before, but he never made a move. However, she thought that Josh might like her. Morigan sighed as she stepped into her room and sat down, it was a long day, and all she wanted to do was relax. Eryka was just finishing some touch ups on her make up when she heard a buzz at the door; she ran over and clicked the talk button. "Hello"? Eryka asked. "Hi Eryka, it's me Jake, can I come up?" he asked. "Sure, I'll buzz you in" Eryka responded. She tap the button on the left of the speaker box and then went back to fixing up her make up hoping to be ready before Jake got to her door. Just then the phone rang, what now thought Eryka. She grabbed the phone and said, "Hello?" "Hi Eryka it's me Jason, Jason stahl, remember, I met you in that night club a few weeks ago, you gave me your number and until now, I haven't been able to build up the courage to ask you out or even call you". Eryka was speechless, she wasn't sure what to say. After all Jason was also very cute, and very nice to her at the club he treated her like a princess and Pamela even approved of him. Eryka was now torn, Jake or Jason, Jason or Jake. Then she answered, "Listen Jason I'm sort of..... busy right now, but if you wanna call me again tomorrow or stop by my apartment some time, I'd love to talk to you". "Sure that would be great Eryka, what's your address?" asked Jason. Just then Eryka's doorbell rang. "It's uuuh the Springmills inn apartment. I'm in apartment 134 tell the gate guard Ica sent you, he'll let you right in, well I have to go". Said Eryka trying to get to the door while stuck to the phone. "Well, thanks Eryka I just wanted to say you're a really great person," said Jason. "Thanks" said Eryka with a grin, "well I really gotta go, bye". "Bye" responded Jason and with that Eryka hung up the phone and ran to the door. She grabbed the knob and didn't think she could turn it fast enough but she finally got it open. Jake looked very nice, and he said, "Hey Eryka, may I come in"? Asked Jake. Eryka opened the door wider, stepped aside and said, "Hey, come right in, I'll just be a second". Jake stepped in while Eryka ran into the bathroom, put away the make up she had out and turned off the lights. Then she said to Jake "Ok, I'm ready sorry about the wait I had a phone call at the last minute". Jake smiled and said, "It's no problem, and by the way, you look beautiful" complemented Jake. Eryka blushed a little and said, "Thank you for the complement I wasn't sure how to dress because I didn't know what restaurant we were going to. Where are we going?" Jake grinned, grabbed Eryka by the arms and said, "NO WHERE!!" A/N: DUN DUN DUN hahahahaha left you guys with a mega cliffhanger which I'm sure I'll be killed for by my readers. If you want to know what's going to happen, you have to read and review.
