She closed the door and sat next to Eric on the couch.
"So Cal, what movie do you want to watch and what kind of pizza do you want to get?" He asked while putting his legs on her coffee table.
"Well, I was kinda hoping to watch a romantic comedy to lift my spirits. The pizza can be visitor's choice, if you'd like."
"Sure, I'll get a pepperoni pizza. Then I expect to know why you're not in a good mood when I come back." He said seriously. She nodded and went over to her stack of movies in the corner. Eric got up and dialed the pizza place, then placed their order.
Once that was finished he sat back down and watched Calleigh search through her DVDs. She was kneeling on the floor scanning her choices. Skipping over sappy sad movies that would have her balling her eyes out, she settled on the movie "Failure to Launch". She loved Sarah Jessica Parker and that Matthew McConaughey was a sexy, sexy man.
She grasped the movie and inserted it into the player.
Sitting down she turned to Eric, "So what have you been doing for the past couple of hours?" she asked while the beginning credits rolled though.
"Nothing much, just hanging around my place. Oh hey how was your dat-"
"Ooo, hush up! It's starting!" She quickly said before he could finish his sentence.
'Always knows how to change the subject.' Eric thought.
When the movie ended Calleigh got up and started to throw away the pizza box and empty soda cans. He watched her as she kept herself busy with many unimportant tasks trying to avoid any questions pertaining to her date.
"Umm Cal can I help with something?" Eric asked kindly.
"No you're the guest I can handle it, you just relax." She quickly closed the trash compactor and walked back over to Eric. She bent down and picked up the paper plates. When she went to leave but Eric took her by both hands and pulled her down on to his lap. Their lips were centimeters apart; she could feel his breath on her, and she could smell his irresistible scent.
Calleigh looked deep into his eyes and only saw love. That scared her, she felt like she was loosing control and she did not like that feeling. If he loved her she wanted to be the first person to tell him that, she wanted to show him just how much she loved him. She was finally coming to her senses and noticing the fact that she was completely and utterly in love with Eric Delko. She had been pushing these feelings towards Eric away for years and at last she gave in.
"How did your date go?" The question went unanswered.
She lowered her lips to his. The kiss, at first, was tentative then it grew into something more passionate and the need to be closer to him developed. She turned herself so that she was now straddling Eric. She put one hand in his hair and the other on his chest grabbing his shirt.
The kiss started to slow down when the need for air became too great. They parted and Calleigh placed her forehead on his.
"Wow Cal you sure know how to avoid a question." He smirked.
She took a deep breath, "Eric, there's something I need to tell you. This might take a minuet or so because I'm not good at these things. I have noticed that in the past years we have become closer. We went from being co-workers to friends to, this may sound almost childish, but we have become best friends. I value our friendship and that's why it's really hard to say something as important as this because I don't want to ruin what we have. I have watched you go from one gorgeous woman to another and I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I always wondered, why them? Why do you go for woman who use you and don't treat you the way you should be treated?" She needed space from him, so she got up and moved to the other side of the couch. "You could do so much better than them, you deserve better. I know I seem a little bit forward but I will end this with on more thing and if you don't feel the same way then I understand but this is something I need to say, I-" Before she could finish her cell phone rang.
She sighed and reluctantly got up to answer it, "Duquesne. Yes, I'll be right there." With that she hung up her phone and went back to Eric. "I'm sorry I have to go, Horatio needs my expertise. I'll be right back I have to change." He nodded.
A few minutes later she came out in a green long sleeved shirt and dark blue pants with her usual black stilettos.
"You can stay if you want I shouldn't be that long."
"Thanks Cal. Hey when you come back we can finish our conversation." She nodded in agreement. "You promise?" She nodded once again. "Cal can I have an actual answer or…" Eric asked with a hint of humor in his voice.
"Yes, we'll finish this when I come back." She picked up her bag and left. She picked up her bag and left.
Eric sat there almost hoping that she was going to say 'I love you.' Calleigh Duquesne was going to say those three heavenly words to him. He would wait there until she came back, it didn't matter how long she took or even if she was tired, he wanted, he needed to hear those words come out of her mouth.
In the car Calleigh's heart was starting to return to normal. Part of her was proud of herself for talking to Eric but the other half thought that she was just being silly and naive. She definitely knew that she loved Eric but just the fact of her feeling vulnerable she felt scared. She made a promise to herself that when she got back from helping Horatio she would finish telling Eric that she loved him and she would not back out.
