Eric, wait up!" called out Caitlin as she ran to catch up with him as he left the school.
"What's up?" he inquired as the turned and smiled at her.
"Um...nothing." replied Caitlin chickening out.
"Oh, okay." said a very confused Eric as he started to walk away again.
"No wait!" exclaimed Caitlin. "I was wondering if you could come over to my house later. To talk."
"Well I guess I could." replied an even more confused Eric.
"Okay. I'll see you about Five then?"
"Yeah sure. Bye." With that Eric walked off thinking that Caitlin was one weird chick.
*I am such a dork! 'Um..nothing. No wait!' What was that? Now he probably thinks I'm retarded or something. Ugh. Oh well, at least he's coming over.*
Cut to: Five O'clock Caitlin's Room
"Are you sure that Jim and Dorie won't kill me for being up here?" questioned Eric as he sat down cross-legged on the end of Caitlin's bed.
"For the hundredth time No. Beside they're not even here and neither is Griffin. He's out doing something with Brett. So it's fine."
"Why exactly am I here?" asked Eric looking Caitlin in the eye.
"Oh, um well ya see," began Caitlin as she got up off her bed and started pacing around the room. "I need to tell you something. And I didn't want to tell you at school or in front of anybody. It's kinda private and,"
"Caitlin," interrupted Eric, "You know that you can tell me anything."
"But it's about you!" blurted out Caitlin.
"I see." he replied not really seeing at all. "Are you sure I'm the best person to tell it to then?"
"Yes Eric you are the only one I need to tell this to."
"Are you sure? Because you seem to be doing everything but telling me."
Blushing at that Caitlin replied, "I'm sorry. I'm just really nervous."
Getting up and walking over to her he said, "There's nothing to be nervous about Caitlin."
"Yes there is because I like you and I don't know if you like me?" exploded Caitlin.
After several seconds of silence Eric said, "You sure don't sound to happy about it."
"I'm new at this okay. So sue me." And so saying she plopped herself back down on the bed.
"What about Will?" question Eric who for some reason was still entirely calm.
"Will was different."
"How so?" asked Eric once more setting and looking her in the eyes.
Squirming under his gaze she sighed and said, "I never felt like this with Will."
"Like what?"
"He never gave me butterflies or made my skin tingle when he just looked at me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! What is this 20 questions?"
"No. But I've liked you for a long time now Caitlin and I want to make sure that you really like me." replied Eric
"Really?"
"Yes really. Why do you think I let you hang around me so much? It isn't because of your great cattle skills."
"Shut up!" laughed Caitlin.
"Make me." said Eric only half teasing.
Looking into his eyes Caitlin felt her breath catch. *Nope, I never felt anything like this with Will.*
"Caitlin." breathed out Eric as he reached out and cupped her face in his hands.
*God, please let me kiss him back right.*
Eric's lips touched hers gently at first and then with more pressure when he felt her respond. After a few seconds he pulled back and looked at her flushed face.
Opening her eyes she smiled at him. A sweet sexy smile that Eric didn't know she had.
He smiled back at her and leaned in to kiss her once more. As her hands tangeled themselves in his hair he wrapped his arms around her drawing her closer.
They were so wrapped up in each other that they never even heard the door open or Griffin and Brett walk in.
Seeing Caitlin and Eric making out on her bed Griffin exclaimed, "What's going on in here?"
