Chapter 5
Calleigh headed down out of Eric's apartment building and called a cab on her way down, she had forgotten she got a cab to Eric's last night, he would have to go pick his car up from the bar from last night too. She called the cab and gave the cabby the address to the bar from last night to pick up her car. While she was in the cab she gave herself the chance to think. Did she love John, or was she just with him because he wanted her to be, why had she slept with Eric last night, was it because she secretly liked Eric, or because she was really drunk, the more she thought about it the more she realised she did find Eric attractive, she really did like him that way, Calleigh gasped as she realised this causing the cabby to give her an odd look. She didn't notice and carried on with her thoughts. If she found Eric attractive, and he said last night was something they had both wanted, does that mean he found her attractive too? She pondered this until the cabby pulled up and stopped outside the bar they were all at last night. She thanked the cabby, paid him and went to find her car.
Eric shut the door behind Calleigh and slowly wandered to the shower. She had let him kiss her cheek, no! it was just a friendly kiss goodbye he reprimanded himself. He undressed for a shower, turned the water on and stepped under the hot running water. His mind entertained thoughts it shouldn't be, he started to remember last night more and more. He let the hot water pour over him as images from the night before flooded back to him. He remembered her pushing him down on to the bed and quickly pulling his shirt off, he remembered she was stronger than he thought, for being such a small person, he chuckled to himself. He remembered lifting her shirt off over her head, kissing her neck, her hair smelt of vanilla and she smelt of strawberries. Her skin was soft and silky, her touch was gentle and loving, Eric sighed and closed his eyes as he remembered her touch. He knew he shouldn't be thinking about her like this, she was his co-worker and friend. His sexy co-worker and friend he thought shaking his head gently, it could never happen again, and they had agreed it never happened. Which meant she couldn't possibly feel the way about him as he did for her, he suddenly realised, he really liked her, he was attracted to her a lot. He opened his eyes in realisation, when did that happen, when did he start being attracted to Calleigh as more than a friend?. He shook his head again, he couldn't allow himself to think of her as more than his friend, it wasn't possible, she wanted to be with John. He finished his shower, climbed out and headed to his bedroom to dress for work. He spotted the bed and was hit with more memories of last night. Her screaming his name as they had sex on his bed, him kissing her chest, her stomach, undressing her slowly, teasing her as she moaned and softly called his name. Eric felt like turning around and getting in the shower again, except a cold one, but he didn't have time. He sighed and turned away from the bed, he would push it out of his mind, it never happened after all.
'yeah right', he muttered shoving his wardrobe door closed and heavily sitting down on the edge of his bed, 'like I could forget her', he muttered to himself, looking in the mirror from the edge of his bed on his wardrobe door. You have to, a voice inside his head told him. He knew there would be awkwardness if he didn't let it go, he was lucky Calleigh excepted it and agreed it never happened rather than kill him for last night. He new she felt guilty because of John more than anything, does that mean she didn't regret having sex with him, just that she did it while she was dating John, he wondered, he got dressed and finished getting ready for work, thinking about it. He couldn't ask her that, it would just upset her and bring up the subject she really wanted to drop, didn't she?.
