Chapter 10: Of Gossip and Mothers
Eric and Christi are at the hotel. Christi is lying in her favorite position on Eric. She has her head on his shoulder and a hand on his heart. Eric had a hand laying on her belly and is rubbing her back with his other hand. Shawn had taken them back to the hotel when he noticed Christi slowly falling asleep on Eric. Eric had carried Christi into the room as she had fallen asleep on his shoulder on the way back to the hotel. Christi's cell is ringing like mad. It wakes Eric up and he wants her to get as much sleep as she can. He picks up her cell.
"Hello, Eric Delko speaking." Eric said sleepily.
"Is Christina there and who are you?" a female voice said.
"Yes she is but she's sleeping and I'm her boyfriend."
"Well this is her mother. Wake her up and put her on. I have a bone to pick with her right now."
"Mrs. Caine…."
"Never call me that. It's Miss. Novak."
Eric got a confused look on but said, "Miss. Novak Christi………."
"Her name is Christina."
Eric sighed and said through clenched teeth, "Christina has not been feeling well lately. She needs to get as much sleep as she can. I will have her call you when she wakes up."
He heard her mom hummf and say, "Fine." Then she hung up.
Eric quietly snapped her cell shut and put it back on the bed side table. He got comfortable again and went back to sleep. The pair slept until 3 in the afternoon when Ryan and Nessie came back. What woke them up was the door closed and Nessie banging on the adjoining door.
"Just ignore her. She'll stop and get the point that we're still asleep." Christi mumbled half-asleep.
"Delko! Dude! Get your butt out of bed! Don't you want to know about what happened out there last night." Ryan called.
"Wolfe put a sock in it!" Christi called.
"Christi get up! I have juicy gossip." Nessie said.
When Nessie said that Christi was awake and getting her pajama's back on that somehow made it to the floor.
"Aw Christi! You're leaving me in bed alone for some gossip?" Eric whined like a five year old who just got his ice cream taken away as he got his boxers and pajama pants on.
"Come on babe. You're going to get your own gossip from Ryan." Christi giggled as she opened the door and Nessie grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room and pushed Ryan into the other room.
"Okay spill right now! I want to know everything. Well expect for the parts where you two did the chimy-changa." Christi said laughing.
Nessie started to tell her everything and both girls squealed and laughed so loud the guys next door heard them.
Ryan and Eric were talking and Ryan was telling Delko about Nessie's wildest fantasy.
"Okay you have to swear to keep this between us or she'll kill me." Ryan said.
"Just spill!" Eric said.
"Okay. It's me and her in the interrogation room on the fourth floor. The one that gives off that green color. She's in a trench coat and underneath is her orange teddy, and I'm processing her while she's sitting on the table. Handcuffs...her being naughty and I'm trying to resist, but we wind up making love on the table." Ryan said.
Eric tried to bite his tongue to keep from laughing but he couldn't.
Once he stopped he said, "Well that's not as crazy as Christi's!"
"Okay this I got to hear."
"In the morgue on of Alexx's autopsy tables. I have to go down there and ID her body but she's not really dead and then she scares the shit out of me like she always does and then we end up making love down there and getting caught by H." Eric said.
Ryan just fell over laughing when Eric told him that.
"Wolfe you have to keep that from her or she'll kill me."
"Promise Delko." Ryan said once he calmed down.
After Ryan said that Christi's cell rang. It was her mom again.
Christi ran in and grabbed her cell.
"Oh god! How did she get my new cell number! This is the 5th time I've changed it!" Christi said.
"What's the matter C?" Ryan asked.
"Stop calling me that and my mom is a druggie and she calls and harasses me. So I have to change my number whenever she calls me!"
"Uh Christi. She called this morning demanding to talk to you and I told her you were still sleeping. She didn't say what she wanted though. She just wanted you to call her once you woke up." Eric said looking a bit upset that he did that.
Christi mumbled something under her breath that nobody could understand.
"Christi I'm sorry." Eric said.
"Babe it's fine you didn't know." Christi said going and kissing his cheek.
