PS: A bit of bad language in this chapter, so if you don't want to be reading things like that- don't.

"Well what do you think about this?" AJ shot back.

"Hey, take it easy man…" Eric warned, but he was scared as hell.

Teah and Calleigh stood frozen in place as AJ's fist connected with Eric's face and he nearly fell over. Eric stood up and took a step back. "Yeah, that's what I thought." AJ said to Eric.

"That's what you thought?" Eric responded, "Well this is what I think. I think you're drunk, and I'm a lot stronger than you are and I don't want you to get hurt here. I think you should leave."

"Oh, sorry tough guy. Maybe I should leave, or maybe you should leave." AJ slurred.

"Intelligent." Calleigh muttered under her breath. She was glad that Eric hadn't started a fight with AJ because he did look much stronger, and had a good few inches on AJ, and it wasn't a smart idea to start a fight while surrounded by drunks.

"What was that?" AJ acknowledged Calleigh for the first time in the conversation.

"Nothing." Calleigh answered, and quickly diverted her gaze.

"No I think it was something," AJ took a step towards her and Calleigh saw Eric tense right up, fists balled, in the corner of her eye. She quickly shot him a look that made him think of the last time he had "undermined" her in front of a suspect. She had been furious with him, and he didn't want that right now. He'd let her handle things until they got out of control…

"I don't." Calleigh told him smugly.

"Hey bitch," AJ's voice got harsher now, and a bit louder. "I think you should tell me what you said, because unlike pretty boy over there, I'm much bigger than you."

"Is this your take on the saying 'pick on someone your own size'? Calleigh snickered.

"So what if it is?" AJ stepped closer yet, and Calleigh could see the fury in his eyes. She knew from experience that it wasn't the smartest idea to anger a drunken man, but she did it anyways.

"Then I'd say you need to learn how to interpret sayings in a less violent environment." Calleigh smirked at him. It was then that Teah passed out, thankfully Eric had quick reflexes and was able to catch her and luckily AJ seemed disinterested in Teah now, but had taken up an interest in Calleigh.

"I'd say that you should shut your mouth," AJ leaned right in so his face was merely inches from Calleigh's, "And follow me out of this room, right now." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun. "Or something bad could happen."

"That's not even loaded." Calleigh all but laughed in his face, leaving him perplexed. How the hell was she able to notice that?

"Lose the self confident act. You're just a pretty blonde girl who has a pretty boyfriend and I'd guess lives in a pretty little house on your rich daddy's credit cards." AJ rolled his eyes. "Let's go."

"Actually," Calleigh pulled her arm out of his grasp, "I'm a CSI from Miami who specializes in ballistics, one of the best in the country actually." And with that she brought her elbow, which he attempted to grab once again, with his nose, sending him reeling backwards. Seeing him taking a step towards her again, she rolled her eyes and muttered, "Some people just don't know when to give up." She connected her leg with the area in which she knew would hurt him most and gave him a light punch in the arm for good measure. "Here's another saying for you to interpret," She smirked as she bent over above his face, on which he was sporting a bloody nose, "Big things come in small packages. Let's go Eric." By this point, they had attracted the attention of most everyone in the bar, who were having a grand time laughing at the guy who had gotten the shit beat our of him by the pretty blonde girl, as he had so nicely put it. Eric was amazed by Calleigh's show of self defense, and with Teah passed out over his shoulder, made his way out of the dance.

"Calleigh, that was…" Eric trailed off, not sure of what to say when they exited the room.

"Surprising?" She guessed, with a smirk.

"Sure." He nodded, shifting Teah. "Let's get back to our room, alright?"

"Can't carry all that dead weight?" Calleigh joked, knowing he'd carried much heavier 'dead weights' than that.

"Funny girl." Eric smirked as they headed down the hallway.

Ten minutes later they were situated in their hotel room, Teah was still passed out and was presently laying on couch. "Uh, Eric what happens when she wakes up?" Calleigh wondered.

"What do you mean?" Eric asked, brow furrowed.

"Well, she's met us what, once? And she was probably pretty drunk at the time, considering her state now. She'll have no idea who we are…" Calleigh trailed off, figuring the rest was pretty self explanatory.

"Right, that." Eric shrugged. "We'll just explain what happened, I guess. She seems like she's a pretty easy going girl, going out with some guy she just met on vacation and getting wasted? Besides, I know I don't have the energy to go find Eli and Lena and explain it all to them now, do you?"

"Definitely not." Calleigh shook her head. "That was a crazy dance."

"Are you referring to the dancing part, or the fight you were in?" Eric asked, jokingly.

"The fight." Calleigh laughed. Again with that intoxicating laugh, Eric thought, proud he had been the source of it that time.

"And you still look perfect, even after fighting some guy." Eric said seriously. He hadn't meant to, sure he'd been thinking it since she'd first hit the guy… but he hadn't meant to tell her.

"Thanks." Calleigh was trying to keep herself calm. He thought she looked perfect? That wasn't something she heard from Eric Delko everyday! He was probably still joking, she told herself.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Eric wondered, collapsing on the bed. "I guess I'll get my pajamas on in the bathroom first, then you can if you want."

"Sure." Calleigh nodded as Eric headed towards the bathroom. She went to her suitcase and instantly smacked herself in the head. Shit. She had not been planning on sharing a room with Eric when she packed that suitcase, was the only thought running through her mind as she located her pajamas. She normally wasn't a self conscious person, but when she was going to be wearing her favourite silky, lacy pajamas in front of Eric… suddenly she was.

"Bathroom's all yours." Eric told her as he stepped out, wearing only pajama pants, making Calleigh even more self conscious than she already had been as she couldn't take her eyes off his amazing, muscular chest.

"Thanks." She managed to get out before grabbing her pajamas and heading into the bathroom. It was now Eric's turn to think as Calleigh changed. He couldn't help but notice the lace he was sure he'd seen on her pajamas and the lack of material she'd been holding, at that. Then he realized that she probably hadn't planned on anyone but herself seeing her pajamas on the trip. He took a deep breath. If she was wearing lacy pajamas that lacked in material, he'd have to be wearing a lot of self control. That was the last thought that crossed his mind as Calleigh stepped out of the bathroom.

A/N: Hahahhahahaha okay. So that was a bit… different. But I think that if some guy insulted Calleigh and then pretty much assaulted her, grabbing her arm etc, she'd have beaten him up hahahaha. So anyhow, please review! Thanks a lot for reading!

Wow I just twitched. I think it's time for bed!
