"Dinner was great Tim thank you." said Calleigh as he walked her to her door.
"Not a problem."
Calleigh smiled and turned as she reached her door. "So I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
Tim nodded. "Yeah...bright and early if Horatio has anything to say about it."
Calleigh smiled and went to go put her key in her lock when Tim stopped her. "Calleigh..."
"Yeah Tim?"
Tim sighed. "Never mind. See ya tomorrow."
Calleigh smiled. "Ok see ya."
Tim got half way to his car door when he realized he was making the biggest mistake in his life. He reached her door and didn't have enough guts to knock on it. He didn't know what it was but when he was with Calleigh he never wanted to leave. He felt good. He felt complete. He felt safe. And when he wasn't around Calleigh he was always thinking about her.
Calleigh stood slumped against her front door. 'Calleigh don't let him get away you idiot. Go after him.' Calleigh closed her eyes tightly as she continued the mental battle with herself. 'But what If he doesn't like you?' 'How could he not like you? Just ask him in for a drink. Its cool...co workers have drinks together all the time.' Calleigh groaned and opened the front door just as Tim was about to walk away.
"Tim..."
Tim turned around. "Yeah."
"Would you like to come in for a drink...or something?"
Tim nodded. "I"d like that." 'What are you doing. You go in there and you won't be able to control yourself.'
Tim smiled as Calleigh closed the door. "I think I have some wine. Or...there's some beer."
"No alcohol for me thanks. I'm driving."
Calleigh smiled. "Awwww...how cute."
"Well...95 percent of the time the drunk driver gets off with minor injuries while the person he/she hits gets off much worse...most of the time death."
Calleigh nodded. "We've worked one to many of those scenes." Tim nodded in agreement. "Well Mr. I don't drink what can I get you?"
Tim didn't know what it was but he had the strong erge to kiss her. Tim closed the fridge door that she had opened and backed her slowly to the counter. "Tim..."
Tim put a finger to her lips. "Can I kiss you?"
Calleigh sighed. She had wanted this for so long. And now she was scared out of her mind. Her heart was racing. Calleigh took a deep breath. "If you know what's good for you, you will."
Tim smiled lightly and met Calleigh half way.

Tim walked into the breakroom that morning a smile on his face which was immeidatley recognized by Alexx. "Your in a good mood Timmy."
"Well I feel good Alexx."
Alexx was about to say something when Calleigh walked in. "Good morning Alexx...how are you this morning?"
"I'm fine. I take it your in a good mood?"
Calleigh nodded. "Yep." Calleihg reached into the cabinet were Tim was standing for a coffee cup.
"Hi." whispered Tim.
Calleigh smiled. "Hi."
"Well...I have a body waiting for me...excuse me...i'm sure I will be seeing you to later." But Tim and Calleigh didn't hear any of it. They were to wrapped up in eachother.
"I had a good time last night."
"Me too."
"So you wanna come back over after shift tonight...I could um...make dinner and we could rent a movie or something?"
Tim nodded. "I"d like that."
Calleigh smiled and nodded. "Speedle." Tim tore his eyes away from Calleigh and looked at Eric.
"What's up Delko?"
"You...me...second row Miami heat what do you say?"
"Sorry man I got plans."
"But you never have plans."
"Well I do tonight."
"Calleigh...Cal...come on you'll go with me right?"
"Sorry Eric I got a date."
Eric sighed. "Fine be that way...I'll just ask Valera to go with me."
"Ask me to go where?" asked Valera as she walked into the breakroom.

"You know I still can't get that look off of Eric's face when you told him that you had plans."
Tim smiled. "He'll get over it."
Calleigh smiled as she sat down with Tim on the couch. "What movie did you rent?"
Calleigh smiled. "Your going to hate me."
"Why its not a chick flick is it?"
Calleigh smiled. "No."
'Then what is it?"
"Its a cartoon movie."
"A cartoon movie?"
Calleigh nodded. "It's my favortite."
Tim smiled. "What is it?"
"Hercules."
"Hercules? I don't believe you."
Calleigh smacked Tim lightly. "What's your favorite tough guy?"
Tim shook his head. "I don't want to say."
"Oh come on. I told you. Now its only fair."
Tim sighed and muttered. " The Lion King."
"What was that?"
"The Lion King ok."
"Awww...that's cute."
"Its not cute. It's just a movie Cal."
"Do you cry?"
"What?"
"When Simba's dad dies do you cry?"
"Are you sure you didn't have any wine tonight?"
Calleigh sighed and put the movie in. She then settled back down next to Tim. And he put his arms around her protectively. This is how life was supposed to be. Just him, Calleigh the t.v. and her dog Bailey. Tim looked down at Calleigh and she looked back and he smiled. Tim pulled her closer. Yep, this was definatley how it was supposed to be.
