A/N: I'm sorry, I know I promised no more cliffhangers, but it's who I am. I'll try to stop. Anyway thanks for the reviews, keep em coming.

As Calleigh turned her head, she couldn't help but be speechless. She saw Eric, running out of the car, topless. His tanned muscular body was shinning in the morning's sun. Calleigh was amused, but confused at the same time.

"...Calleigh...", Eric said panting as he reached her.His hands resting on his knees.

"Um, Eric where's your top?" Calleigh asked, muffling a giggle. Eric took a deep breath, in and out.

"Well I left the top H gave us at work so I spent the morning looking for something red to wear but I couldn't find anything", Eric answered standing up, then feeling awkward as all eyes were on him and asladies giggled and whistled. Eric let out an embarrassed chuckle and walked to isolated tent where the spare t-shirts were.

"So you just drove here naked?" Calleigh asked amused. Eric nodded his head and grabbed the red t-shirt, pulling it over his head.

"Well as much as I love seeing your chest, if I were you, I'd just have worn something else. But that's just my opinion", Calleigh laughed.

Eric stepped in close to Calleigh.

"Oh what a shame, I think the whole world would have preferred you choose my option", Eric said with a cheeky grin.

Calleigh gave him a playful punch in the arm.

"C'mon, lets go win this thing", Calleigh said as she gently grabbed Eric's arm and pulled him out of the tent.

Tim looked over his shoulder to see Eric and Calleigh coming out of the tent with Eric's top ruffled up and Calleigh grabbing him by the hand giggling.

"Bout time", Tim snickered picking up his bag and throwing it over his shoulder.

"What was that Timmy?" Alexx asked, looking up from her program.

"Uh ,nothing", He replied quickly, "What's first?"

Alexx flipped through her program and replied, "Pink team, us, Vs. Blue team,Nick and Amy, in tug-o-war. Lets go"

Alexx and Tim picked up their bags and went to find the dirt oval.

Eric picked up the baseball bat and stretched his arms to get ready. He looked across the field to see his opponents, Warrick and Susie, also getting ready.

Calleigh hesitated before picking up her bat.

"Ok Cal this will be easy. All you have to do is hit itand they will calculate the points by distance," Eric explained tying up his shoelaces as he spoke, "You ready"

"Umm, I don't exactly know how to do this", Calleigh said insecurely, as she tried to swing the bat but lost her grip and dropped iton the ground.

Eric let out a little laugh.

"Hey it's not funny, I hate baseball", Calleigh protested in a whiney voive, crossing her arms as she sat on the bench, "I quit"

"Hey, this is our first game and you're already quitting", Eric said in a sweet voice.

He looked at her face and saw a hint of amusement in her blue eyes.

"Ok, I'll teach you", Eric said pulling Calleigh up by the hand. Eric pulled Calleigh up a bit faster than anticipated pulling her onto his chest. For a second they were just staring into each others eyes, not moving, until Eric pulled away saying, "Let's teach you the basics.

Eric handed Calleigh the bat and hugged her from behind, showing her how to swing. Calleigh wasn't paying any attention to what he was saying, she could only feel his body pressed up against her. She closed her eyes and let out a content sigh. She could feel her blood racing through her veins and her heat rapidly beating. Calleigh lost all feeling in her legs and if it weren't for Eric leaning in on her, she would fall.

She took in a deep breath; he was wearing that new cologne again. Her eyes were still closed. She could hear him asking questions but only heard half the words so she just nodded. In a sudden movement Eric stepped back. Calleigh opened her eyes immediately and stumbled back. Eric, who was only a metre or so away, caught her from behind and steadied her.

She stood up and blushed.

"You ok?" Eric asked in a worried tone. She looked up into his eyes, full or worry and concern.

"Yeah, fine. Let's go", Calleigh said as she walked away. Eric ran to catch up with her and they walked over to their opponents.

At 3 o'clock, everyone found somewhere to sit, rest and eat. There were only 4 teams left in the competition, which meant only 2 games left.

The teams left were Calleigh and Eric, Tyler and Valera, Sara and Greg, and Nick and Amy.

Calleigh led Eric to a shady tree and they sat down. Eric stretched and lay down on the cool grass. Calleigh took a drink from her drink bottle and rested her head on the tree.

Calleigh saw two shadows standing over her. She looked up to see Valera and Tyler. They sat down to join them.

"Hey, maybe it will come down to us against you", Tyler said with a cheeky grin, "Two co-workers against two lovers"

Calleigh looked up in surprise. "You two are dating?" she asked confused.

"No", Tyler smirked. Just as Calleigh was about to open her mouth in defence, Valera interrupted her.

"I think we'll be going now, see you guys later", Valera said as she pulled Tyler up and walked off.

"What was that about?" Eric asked, lifting his head off the ground.

"Not sure", Calleigh replied innocently.

Calleigh was at the front of the rope while Eric was pulling at the back. Tug-o-war againstSara andGreg was proving to be harder than Eric expected. With one final tug,Greg fell into the mud making Eric and Calleigh the winners.

Eric ran up to Calleigh and hugged her for the victory. Calleigh couldn't help but blush as his arms wrapped around her body. She was loving this day. They had been getting so close, and sometimes she just wished he'd plant his lips in hers.

Eric was in too good a mood too notice Calleigh blushing. There was only one event left, and whoever won that would be the champion team.

After congratulating the other team for a good game, Eric and Calleigh walked back to their bags. As Calleigh got her drink, Eric flipped through the program.

"I heard that in the last event, you can share the job or make the other person do it all", Calleigh said with a pleading grin, "Eric I'm so tired"

As Eric was scanning over the program his eyes lit up.

"The last event", Eric said with his eyes glowing, "Is swimming"

Calleigh smiled and replied, "I think I'll leave that event up to you"

After the event, which Eric had obviously won, Eric and Calleigh were presented with a little trophy and congratulated.

After they were left alone Eric gave Calleigh a friendly hug. It was one of those friendly- not so friendly hugs. It would have been completely perfect if Eric wasn't still wet from the last event.

"What was that for?" Calleigh asked as she pulled back.

"You did great today. We wouldn't have won half of those events if it weren't for you", Eric complimented.

"Thanks", Calleigh thanked. She pulled her eyes away from Erics loving gaze and lookedat her watch. It was only 5 but she was to tired.

"Tired?" Eric asked in a teasing tone.

Calleigh gave him a daring smile and he walked away looking for a towel.

All of a sudden Horatio walked into the room with a serious look on his face.

"Horatio?" Calleigh asked in a concerned tone.

"We got a murder", Horatio replied.
