CHAPTER 4

"Hello." said Calleigh as she answered her phone. "Oh hey Valera...mmmhmm...um...I don't know Maggie has a little bit of a cold and I don't think I should leave Eric home alone with her."

"Hey you can trust me."

Calleigh gave him a smile. "Please Cal...I really don't feel like going alone."

Calleigh sighed and looked at Eric for permission. He nodded. "Ok Maxxie...I give in. Where is it you wanna go?"

"The Sun Spot."

"Alright i'll meet you there in twenty."

"See you there."

Calleigh sighed and hung up the phone. "You sure your going to be ok by yourself?"

Eric nodded. "Honey...I'll be fine. Besides I went out with Tyler last night you deserve atleast one night of fun."

Calleigh smiled and kissed him on his cheek. "Thanks."

"Not a big deal and go already before I change my mind."

"Yes master."

"Hello."

"Hey Timmy."

"Hi Valera what can I do for you this evening?"

"Would you like to come to The Sun Spot with me?"

"Uh...Val I don't do clubs anymore. Not after Descent."

Valera sighed heavily. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

"Because I can."

"Timothy James Speedle."

Tim gasped. "How did you know my full name?"

"You'd be suprised what a password can get you in the department files."

"I'm scared."

Valera laughed. "Please Timmy?"

"Ok fine."

"Great. I'll come pick you up in 20 minutes?"

"Great see you then."

Valera smiled as she hung up the phone. Maybe her little plan was going to work.

Tim sighed and opened the door as the constant knocking continued.

"Knock much?" asked Tim sarcastically.

"Always so sarcastic."

Tim shrugged. "Your car or mine."

Valera looked over at his Ducati parked in the driveway and then back at him. "I'm up for a little joy ride."

Tim smiled and locked the door. "Let's go then."

"Can I get you anything?" asked the bartender to Tim.

"Yeah...a beer please."

"Bottle or glass?"

"Bottle's fine."

"Comin right up. Anything for you Valera?"

"You know what I like Joe." Tim roleld his eyes he wasn't suprised. Tim's eyes glanced over at the door and saw Calleigh. He ducked slightly.

"Valera...what in the hell do you think your doing?"

"I"m uh...sitting here."

"You know what I mean."

Valera glanced at the door and saw Calleigh walking over to them. "Calleigh...hey glad you could make it."

"Hey Valer...a." said Calleigh as she spotted Tim. "Did you come here with Tim?"

"Nope.. he was here when I got here."

Calleigh nodded. "Can I get you anything?" asked the bartender.

"Um...Martini please."

"You got it. Here's your beer...Maxie here's your rum and coke."

"Thanks Joe."

Joe winked at Valera and walked off to get Calleigh her order.

As the hours went by Tim had drank countless beers, Calleigh had about 7 martini's but Valera seemed to be drinking the same rum and coke. Valera's head snapped up as her favorite song began to play.

"I love this song." Valera noticed a guy walking towards her.

"You wanna dance?"

"I'd love to." stated Valera. "See you guys later."

Calleigh opened her mouth to say something but wasn't able to say anything as Valera had already run off.

"You wanna dance?" asked Tim.

"No thanks."

Tim nodded and took another drink of his beer. Tim could barely make out the music as his head pounded.

To the window...to the wall...to the wall...

Tim rolled his eyes. Lil' John great. As soon as Tim finished his eighth beer a slow song came on and he felt Calleigh grab his arm and pull him towards the dance floor.

"I love this song." said Calleigh as she put her arms around Tim's neck.

Tim hesitated but just the feel of her arms around his neck drove him crazy so he gave in and pulled her closer to his body. Calleigh shivered lightly.

"Tim..."

"Yeah..."

"I..."

"What?"

Calleigh stared at him. He never looked more attractive to her right now. The next thing Tim new Calleigh was pulling him towards the bathrooms.

"Calleigh are you sure you wanna do this?"

Calleigh nodded and pulled Tim closer to her. "I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

Tim didn't have tim to say anything because Calleigh practically threw him on the couch and began to kiss him. "Calleigh...I don't."

"Please Tim...I need you."

Tim sighed. Fully knowing what he was going to be getting himself into nodded and kissed her back. A younger couple had come into the bathroom but quickly left as the couch was already taken.

Eric glanced at the clock. 4:00 a.m. where was she. He tried her cell phone but was once again still getting voice mail so he tried Valera's.

"Hello?"

"Val."

"Eric...hey...what's up?"

"Um...is Calleigh with you she hasn't come home yet."

Valera grinned but then sighed lightly at Eric's hurt voice. "Yeah...she's kinda had to much. She's crashing over at my place tonight. We kinda just walked into the door."

"Ok...well...I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"You got it."

Valera sighed and hung up the phone then re opened it and dialed Tim's number.

"Tim..." Calleigh moaned lightly as he kissed her neck.

"I'm right here."

"I've missed this...I've missed us."

"Me to."

Calleigh smiled and went to kiss him when his phone rang. Tim sighed. "Let the machine get it."

Tim nodded but the rigning was killing his head. "Hello?"

"Tim its Maxie is Calleigh there."

Tim looked over at Calleigh. "Yeah you wanna talk to her? Ok..." said Tim and handed her his phone.

"Hello?"

"Cal?"

"What's up?"

"Listen Eric just called me. I told him you spent the night at my place. So I'll need to pick you up in the morning."

"Ok.."

"K...um have fun."

Valera hung up the phone. She felt a little guilty for destroying a marriage but she wondered if she had a secret motive for doing this?

"What did Valera want?"

"It was nothing."

Tim nodded and began to kiss Calleigh again. Suddenly the ring on her finger didn't matter.

TBC...Mmmmhmm...what does Valera really want?
