Ok - well it took a long time but finally the next part is here - I just
had a really tough time choosing a song for this part - I just couldn't
decide!
So here you go!
Hope you like it!
Mystery
*
each time you'd pull down the driveway
I wasn't sure when i would see you again
yours was a twisted blind-sided highway
no matter which road you took then
*
Erik entered the building that day at a brisk pace, some new found confidence guiding him. The night before he lay awake almost half the night and right before dawn he came to a new decision - he was going to make his move! It took him two more hours after that to figure out what his move was going to be.
It wasn't like he could just go up and ask her out on a date - it was more complicated then that. After all they have been co-workers and friends for so long that just going right up and saying it would seem inappropriate. Instead he decided to go with a more subtle approach - let her know how he feels and wait to see if she would respond.
He made his way up to the lab hoping to catch a few moments with Calleigh before everyone else arrives but when he got to the lab he stopped dead in his tracks.
There she was - Calleigh, beautifull as ever, already working at her lab table.
And there was John Hagen, standing right beside her.
Making her laugh again.
*
you set up your place in my thoughts
moved in and made my thinking crowded
now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
my heart the red sun your heart the moon clouded
*
"John you know this isn't going to go any faster if you keep looking over my shoulder." Calleigh said with a smile
"How do you know? We haven't tried it before - maybe it would work!" He teased, taking a seat at the other end of the lab table.
"Don't you have somewhere to go? Something to do?"
"Not a thing!" He laughed, stretching himself on the chair for emphasis
She laughed slightly and reached for a the solution she needed to desolve the charcoile for a piece of paper they found at the burnt car - as she did she noticed from the corner of her eye that Erik was standing outside, looking intently at her and Hagen.
For a second she wished he would stop acting weird and return to just being her good friend Erik - but she had to admit the another part of her was beginning to like the attention.
She turned around to see the Hagen had moved from his seat and was pearing down at her lab tests again.
"John why don't you go get some coffee or something" she sighed as she pushed him out of the way "Just get out of here ok? Before you brake something."
"Have dinner with me."
Calleigh blinked with surprise. That was not the reaction she was expecting!!!
"Excuse me?"
"I asked if you would have dinner with me" He smiled at her - enjoying the look of surprise on her face. Not many men could throw Calleigh off her game - and he kind of nejoyed being able to do that.
Calleigh looked at him and weighed her options, from the corner of her eye she could still see Erik out there - trying to pretend he was busy. Suddenly a devilish thought came to her mind
# It wouldn't hurt to make Erik just a little bit jelouse # She tought # And it's not like I even know what he has in mind.John was as cute as hell and interested - so why the hell not?#
*
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
when summer's beginning to give up her fight
and every thought's a possibility
and voices are heard but nothing is seen
why do you spend this time with me
maybe an equal mystery
*
The night was indeed magical - that was the only way Calleigh could describe it. They had dinner at a small restaurant just off the shore where they could actually hear the waves crashing as they ate. He placed his jacket on her shoulders as they left the restaurant and started walking down the beach.
He watched with amusment as she took off her shoes and walked barefoot in the sand, amazed at how different she looked out of the office, away from her work, relaxed.
"What are you looking at?" she laughed
"Nothing" He shrugged "It's just that you look really beautifull tonight"
"thank you" She smiled at him, suddenly wondering if she was blushing. She had to admit that he looked even better like this - outside work, in the dim moonlight.
Her thought was interrupted as he leaned in a kissed her softly
*
so what is love then is it dictated or chosen
does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years or is it just pop emotion
and if it ever was here and it left
does it mean it was never true and to exist it must elude
is that why i think these things of you
*
Erik spent the night at home, in front of the TV, mentally kicking himself.
He was replaying the day in his mind.
After John Hagen left he joined Calleigh in the lab and they worked side by side in silence. By lunch time the entire building knew about Calleigh's big date - it was a small building and news traveled fast. He had to avoid flinching everytime he came into a room to hear someone talking to Calleigh about where they were going to have dinner or what was she planning to wear.
What bothered him the most though was that she actually seemed happier - she was making jokes and humming to herself constantly - it made him feel even more guilty for wishing she wasn't going on that date. He was her friend after all - and he was supposed to be happy for her.
So why dd he feel like stealing Hagen's car keys to make sure he wouldn't make the date that night?
*
oh but you like the taste of danger
it shines like sugar on your lips
and you like to stand in the line of fire
just to show you can shoot straight from your hip
there must be a 1000 things you would die for
i can hardly think of two
but not everything is better spoken aloud
not when i'm talking to you
*
The soft kiss on the beach quickly turned more passionate and more hungry. For the longest time they just stood there - exploring eachother's mouth.
Calleigh could feel the heat radiating from John's body as he pressed her to him. She wanted to stop herself from doing something she would later regret - but somehow she couldn't bring herself to brake away from him. It felt so good.
He was exactly the man she was looking for - smart, strong, a total gentelman - and he was her type phisically as well - tall, handsome, well built. The attraction she felt for him was undeniable.
He suddenly broke away from her - as if feeling her hesitations "Call, trust me there is nothing I would like more then to continue this." he smiled down at her and brushed a stray of blond hair from her face"But I think I should take you home right now."
"Afraid I wouldn't respect you in the morning:?" She teased, still standing close to his body - refusing to completely let go of the feeling
"Afraid you wouldn't want to do this again" he said seriously, looking straight into her eyes with a look the simply melted her heart.
She reached for him again, planting a soft kiss on his lips "I had a great time tonight John" She whispered "And I would love to do this again."
*
and maybe that's all that we need
is to meet in the middle of impossibility
standing at opposite poles
equal partners in a mystery
we're standing at opposite poles
equal partners in a mystery
So here you go!
Hope you like it!
