Chapter 4

Eric sat up and opened his eyes as something soft and fluffy hit him from across the sofa.

'What?', he asked confused, Calleigh gave him an even sterner look as if to say 'what the hell do you mean 'what' ?', Eric looked down sheepishly and then he grinned. He saw Calleigh's jaw drop as she couldn't believe he was grinning in this situation.

Calleigh saw as Eric looked sheepish under her glare then grinned. Her jaw dropped as he grinned, why would he be grinning, this wasn't funny, she thought, confused. She looked at him shocked and he just shrugged. Calleigh couldn't believe him,

'Eric, what is so funny?', she asked him sternly, Eric shook his head,

'this Cal, we got so drunk, and I brought you home with me, and we ended up in my bed, it was obviously something we both wanted', he told her, Calleigh eyes went wide, and flared up,

'how can you say that Eric, I'm supposed to be with John',

'well yeah, I can see how much you love him, you love him enough to sleep with me', Eric shot back sarcastically, Calleigh looked down at the floor, what had she done, did she really not love John, tears began to fall again. Eric saw her begin to cry again and moved over to her, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her,

'I'm sorry Cal, I didn't mean it', he told her softly,

'no, but its true, how can I love John if I was willing to sleep with you?', she replied through her tears, 'this is gonna kill him Eric, break his heart', she held on to Eric tighter,

'so don't tell him', Eric suggested, Calleigh looked up to him and Eric wiped her tears, 'I won't say anything if you don't, it'll be like this never happened, ok?', Calleigh managed a weak smile,

'thanks Eric, but that's not the point, I could not tell him, but I'd know I cheated, and we'd just fall apart from the lie', Eric pulled her to him again tightly,

'was he expecting you home last night?' Eric asked,

'no', Calleigh answered, 'he knew I was going out with you guys',

'so maybe he wont ask, if he does tell him the truth up to the part where you got a cab home', Eric suggested,

'lie?', Calleigh asked,

'if you need to', Eric told her, 'to save your relationship Cal, I'm so sorry Calleigh, last night shouldn't have happened', he told her, 'but', he started, then stopped, Calleigh looked up at him again,

'but what?' she asked,

'nothing', Eric told her, she continued to look at him until he gave in, 'alright', he conceded, 'last night shouldn't have happened but, I wouldn't change it', he told her with a sheepish smile, Calleigh's jaw dropped again, she smacked his chest playfully and giggled. Eric grinned and hugged her again, 'so, are we ok?', he asked her seriously, Calleigh smiled,

'yeah, I think we are', she told him,

'and we're agreed, this never happened?', Eric asked, Calleigh nodded,

'this never happened', she smiled,

'ok', Eric replied, he hugged her and kissed her forehead before releasing her, 'well I need to get ready for work and I'm sure you want to get home and change', Eric told her, Calleigh nodded and stood with him, 'so I'll see you at work?', Eric asked, Calleigh nodded again,

'yeah, see you at work', she answered cheerier than before, Eric smiled happy she was now happy, he walked her to the door and kissed her cheek goodbye before going to the shower.
