Rating: PG-13, language

Summary: Marisol has news for Horatio, but with obstacles in her way will she be able to tell him in time.

Disclaimer: The song used is 'You had me from Hello' by Kenny Chesney. I do not own anything or anyone from CSI Miami. I am only a fan who enjoys writing stories that take an interest in the show.

Authors Note: This is my take on what should happen after the episode 'Drive'. Spoilers included. I am a H/C fan, but H/M makes for an interesting story line. H/C later on...possibly.

Suddenly the carriage came to a stop, "Mam, if you wouldn't mind putting the blind fold on. I have orders", smiling Calleigh picked up the blindfold that she had thrown beside her and began to tie it behind her head. Once again she suddenly felt the carriage stop. "Thank you, I'll take it from here" a voice said. "No problem sir, glad I could help", said the driver. "Come with me" the voice said as he took Calleigh's hands in his and helped her down. Calleigh wanted to rip the blind fold off to see if it was Horatio, but something made her resist from doing so as she felt the blind fold start to come off and was replaced by a pair of hands overing her face.

One word, that's all you said
Something' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me
And you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will

"We're here" Horatio said as she gently took his hands away from Calleigh's eyes. Opening her eyes, Calleigh was in shock. Seeing rose pedals all over the floor, the lights were dimmed and a song no more perfect was heard. She had no idea where she was but she didn't care as she turned around to see Horatio standing in front of her. Before she could say anything, Horatio pulled her into his arms, as they began to sway to the music.

Well you, had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heartAnd now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from "Hello"

"Did you get the flowers" Horatio asked, looking down into Calleigh's eyes. "I did, they were beautiful, although I'm still wondering about the card", she said. Smiling Horatio let out a slight chuckle, "Calleigh, just listen".

Inside, I built the walls
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time, I let someone in

"I let you walk away again. I didn't know what I wanted, but the more I thought about it the more I realized, that the one thing that I have always wanted already had me. Calleigh, I've loved you from the first time I met you. It's never changed, I was just to stubborn to admit it. I never want to lose you. I love you, and I only want to be with you" he whispered as he lowered his lips down to hers only to be stopped by a finger, "My turn." she said.

But you, had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had the chance you know
You had me from "Hello"

"You asked me to answer a question, you asked me if I loved you...I didn't answer because it was me who was scared. But Horatio, I love you too. You may think that I've always had you, but it's you who's always had me. Funny neither one of us realized it", she said as she looked into his blue eyes. "Life has it's reasons for everything, throwing obstacles in our way, for us to finally find each other. As hard as it was...it was worth the wait" whispered Horatio, as he lowered his lips to Calleigh's. First it was slow and sweet, but than began to be more passionate. "I love you Calleigh" whispered Horatio between kisses. "I love you too handsome" she moaned. Finally the two released each other and held each other as the song finished. "So how'd you know where to find me?"asked Calleigh. Smiling Horatio turned away, "Alex. She was tired of me being stupid and well so was I. I just needed a little boast" he answered. "Well when we get back, remind me to thank her for it". "I will" he said as he pulled Calleigh closer into his arms.

That's all you said
Something' in your voice caused me to, turn my head
You had me from "Hello"
You had me from "Hello"
Girl I've loved you from "Hello"
