After their celebration out, Michael took Callie back home. Callie sat on the sofa and Michael sat next to her.
" You have another busy day tomorrow?" Callie asked.
Michael looked at her.
" I don't want to think about tomorrow yet, but if you want an answer, yes. I have to see about unfreezing my assets and working on my resume. Right now, I just want to enjoy being with you."
Callie put her head on his shoulder and yawned.
" Do you want me to leave now?"
" No. I want to wake up in your arms."
Michael looked down on her.
" So you do want me to stay?"
Callie nodded her head and Michael just kissed her, which got more intense. He moved his lips from hers and left a gentle trail down her neck and further.
" This feels so incredible," Callie said," Who knew that this would be so perfect."
Michael stopped and looked at her.
" I'm not perfect, but I love hearing it."
Callie sat back up.
" Do you believe in fate?" Callie asked.
" I never have before. There was a time, now don't hate me for this, I did think I belonged with Sara."
Callie shoved him and Michael pulled her to him.
" That is until I met you. Callie, I mean every word I said. I love you and when it comes to the time when we first make love, it'll be worth the wait."
" Michael, I don't know when I'll be ready. I do want to know something though."
" What's that?"
" What's with all the tattoos?"
Michael laughed.
" They don't matter now, as much now."
" But they do have meaning?"
" Very much. I hid the blueprints to Fox River in them."
Callie sat up.
" You mean that's how you got out?"
Michael nodded his head.
" That's unbelievable. They're amazing. I would've never expected it."
Michael grinned at her.
" So you did look at them when I was sick?" Michael asked.
" Some of them," Callie admitted.
Michael then got up.
" What are you doing?"
Callie got the shock of her life when Michael took his shirt off.
" Michael, you mean there's more?"
" Does this frighten you?"
Callie didn't know what to say.
" I didn't look at those. I swear to you."
Michael nodded his head.
" I believe you Callie. I also want you to know that I'm here for you."
" I know you are. I know you will be. If I ever ran away, would you come looking for me?"
" Yes."
" If I ran away from you, would you come after me."
" Depends on the situation."
Callie smiled at him.
" How fast can you run?"
Michael sat down next to her.
" You want to know the answer to that?"
" Someday I do, but I would like to know something else."
" What else do you need to know?"
Callie didn't say a word and it made Michael wonder what was on Callie's mind at that very moment.
