2. Chapter 2

"To Many Fairy Tale Endings..." Chapter 2

''Eric, thank you.''

''For what?''

''For another chance.''

''It was damn worth it.'' He smiled and pulled her to a sitting position. She smiled at him and stood up.

''Time to go'' Eric asked.

''Yeah, we have work tomorrow.''

''Alright, get in the love boat.'' Eric said jokingly.

''Eric?''

''Yeah'' Eric responded as he mounted her back into the boat.

''Your'e my ride home.''

''And?''

''Just letting you know. I'm gonna go lie down over there, on that comfy looking couch...'' Celine yawned and fell a sleep.

Celine woke up to the morning sun shining threw her window. It was seven in the morning and Celine felt great, not tired at all. She headed to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and cleaned her face. She took a quick shower and got dressed in a orange blouse with the two top buttons undone tucked into pair white slacks and rounded toe, white heels. She walked into her kitchen and smelled coffee brewing. She didn't remeber turning on the coffee pit that morning or popping toast in the toaster. She looked around her kitchen confused at what she saw and smelled.

''What the hell is going on?!''

''I thought you would want some.'' The voices scared her and she turned around to face him.

''Why do you always do that?'' she said more of a statement then a questions.

''Because I love sound you make when it scares you.'' The man smirked. ''Its cutest damn squeel I've ever heard.''

''Eric Carlos Delko! I swear, your gonna have a fork stuck in your forehead next time you scare me.''

''What if were not in the kitchen?''

''ERIC!'' she said chassing him around the kitchenette island with a bottle of water. They both laughed and Celine finally cornered him and soaked him in water.

''Oh your gonna get it, Oliver!'' Eric ran to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle and ran after her. He chased her to where he got soaked with water and she slipped and fell to the ground right on her back. Eric ran to her and knelt down to her. He saw the smile she was trying to hold and they both burst out laughing. Eric leaned over her and kissed her, when she felt wet near her hips.

''Eric, could you move for a second.'' And thats when they both noticed that Eric forgot to put the cap back on the bottle and it poored al over her when he leaned over.

''Great now we noth have to change.'' Celine said trying stand up but Eric was all over her, kissing the nap of her colarbone. So she laid back down and enjoyed his company. The Radio suddenly started playing their song. The one that played the night they had a fire on the beach and declared it their song.

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

''Eric, listen.''

''Yeah, it's our song.''

''It most definatly is.'' And Celine continued kissing him.

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?

Eric stopped kissing her and started singing with the song

'' 'She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal
'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen' '' Eric sang to her and she smiled back at him. And Eric kept on singing.

'' 'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me' ''

''Eric, you might not have the nicest voice in the world, but that sounded so great.'' And she kissed him. Celine and Eric's cell's went off at the same time and they read their text messages : please report to my office, H.

They knew exactly why Horatio wanted to talk them, they were an hour late for work. They changed their dripping wet clothes. Eric changed into a pair of white slacks cand a orange cotton shirt and added a white leather jacket. Celine changed into a pair of jean capris, a formal black and white plaid tube top and a gold, pin striped, white suit jacket. She added big gold hoop earing and black, open toe heels. They got into their cars and drove to the lab. they met in the elevator and pressed the button.

''Eric, we can't tell Horatio whats going on; it's against the policy what were doing.''

''I know, I know.''

''Well what do we do?''

''Tell him we don't have an excuse and that we won't do it again... I guess.''

''Alright. We're going to have to make it work.''

They exited the elevator on the right floor and walked down the corridors to Horatio's office. Eric stepped foward and knocked on the door. Horatio signaled them to enter and to sit down. They both sat in chairs beside each other.

''You two are late, infact your an hour and a half late. Am I correct?'' Horatio asked them and they both nodded.

''Well, why is that?'' Eric looked back at Celine and she smiled.

''Horatio, we have no explination.''

''Well, if this happens again, I'm going to have to update Rick on whats going on and he's going to have to make some changes. And you two might not like it.''

''Understood.'' Eric said and Celine nodded.

They both exited Horatio's office and walked back to their post; Celine to DNA and Eric in the brake room. Celine had made it infront on the lab, but stoped. What's Natalia going to say? What if she gives me extra paper work. Wait, I'm not afraid of her, if I get more work it's because I did npt respect the rules and not because Natalia is too lazy to do it herself. Celine thought. Celine put her hand in the door and pulled it open. She closed her eyes and took a step into the room. Celine opened her eyes in suprise; no Natalia yelling or talking to her. In fact there was no Natalia at all. But there was a note on Celine stack of paper work. Natalia may be gone but she still got extra work. She picked up the note and read it.

Celine,
I'm leaving. I'm joining the night shift.
I'm not a partner type person, especially if my partner is you.
Anyway, I'm telling Horatio around lunch time, but I'm coming to pick up my stuff tomorrow.
The night shift lab is on another floor.
Oh and I gave you my paper work to do.
Bye now,
Natalia.
PS Good luck, NOT!

''Well, thanks Natalia. It's really, really short notice but I can handle. NOT.'' Celine said to herself.

''Who are you talking to?'' Celine jumped at the voice coming from the door way into the room. Eric was leaning against the side of the door, watching Celine smiling.

''Eric! Stop it!'' She said, trying to keep her face serious. But Eric knew how to make it a smile.

''I don't see a fork near by?''

''Are you sure?'' She smiled. ''What's up?''

''Well, I'm trying to find Ryan; he's got the case file and I need to read it. What about yourself?''

''Well I'm your full DNA tech. Natalia quit and joined the night shift.''

''What are you talking about?''

''Yeah, she's letting Horatio know at noon.'' Celine passed to note over to Eric. ''Oh, and she's picking up her stuff tomorrow, the night shift's DNA lab is on another floor.''

''Did you tell Horatio?''

''No, she wrote on the note that she's going to tell him.''

''I know but we need a DNA analist to replace her for the cases being worked on today.''

''Well, should I go tell him?''

''Yes, go!''

''But I-''

''Just go!'' with that Celine left and headed towards Horatio's office. After this morning's accident she didn't feel up to talking to the man giving her warnings. It's for the team, for Ryan... for Eric. She knocked on the doorand Horatio asked her to sit down.

''So, what brings you here, Ms Oliver?''

''Horatio...Umm... It's that...''' Celine took out the note from her pocket and handed it over to Horatio. Horatio too it and read it. ''Natalia quit.''

''Is that the reason? You know she is one of our top DNA analist.''

''I know. I'll go pack my things. There isn't much so it won't take me long.'' Celine stood up and headed for the door.

''Celine, I would like you to stay, permanently.''

''What?'' Celine turned back to face Horatio and saw the honesty in his eyes, he was asking her if she wanted to join the team. ''Oh, I would be honored to. Does that mean I start today?''

''Would that be an inconvenience?''

''No, of course not.''

''Alright, the lab is all yours.''

''Wow, thank you Horatio. You won't regret it!'' said walking quickly down the hall to her lab.

Ryan was no where to be found so Eric decided to just call him.

''Wolfe.''

''Wolfe, where are you?''

''Eric? Oh, I'm down at the crime scene.''

''Well where is it? I need to work.''

''I was put on this case alone. Horatio said you had some diving to do.''

''Great. Thanks.'' Eric hung up and went back to Horatio's office. He go there and knocked on the door waiting for Horatio's approval.

''Horatio, you never told me I had some diving to do.''

''It must have slipped my mind. Here are the cases,'' Horatio gave him a couple of folders and he read over them. ''They are pretty big cases, you might need to get a partner to do these.''

''I have someone in mind.''

''Well, who ever you chose is none of my concern. You've been on the dive team and I'm pretty sure anyone there is willing to go with you.''

''I was thinking more of someone in the lab.''

''Who?''

''Celine. Horatio, she has dive experience and maybe getting her out of the lab will prove something else.''

''I don't know Eric, she has many DNA cases to handle. Unless you can find someone short notice.''

''I'll let you know Horatio.'' Eric left Horatio's office and went over to the DNA lab. once there he pulled out his cellphone and called a friend. As Eric enterred the room Celine said Hi then tocied he was on the phone and just watched him.

''Grutelli''

''Hey Al. How is night shift?'' Eric said into his phone.

''Well Natalia is trying to replace me. Apparently when you turn sixty-five you have to retire.''

''I heard that too, well I have a job for you. Its not permanent but its a days work, Natalia free!''

''Well, I guess that sounds nice. What do I have to do?''

''Can you make it to the lab as soon as possible. Theres a load of paperwork just for you.''

''Great, I can't wait. I'll call you once I get to the lab.''

''Thanks man.'' Eric hung up and took Celine's hand and pulled her to the elevator. As he was walking he called Horatio.

''H, it's all set up. Al's coming in, Natalia is trying to replace him, he's retiring now and doesn't want to. He's a great guy and a terrific analist.''

''Alright. Well done Eric. Celine can join you.''

''Thanks.'' Eric hung up and entered the elevator and pulled Celine in with him.

''Eric what's going on?''

''I have a suprise.''

''Not another one.''

''No your gonna love this one too. Trust me.'' He leaned her againts a wall and kissed her neck to her jaw line and followed threw to her lips. She moaned hapilly.

''Eric. The elevator doors are open.

''Shit!''

''There's no one there.''

''Good! Come on.'' He took her hand and pulled to the locker room.

''I need you to bring your phone, wallet and badge.''

''I already got it.''

''Yeah, well I don't.'' Eric smiled at her.

Eric lead her to one of the deparment's Hummer's and told her to get in.

''Eric, where are we going?''

''You'll see when we get there.'' Celine looked out the window and Eric made some phone calls. About a half hour later, they were on Nikki beach. There were two police boats in the water and some cops on the beach and in the boat. Eric told Celine to get out and follow him.

''Eric, what's going on?'' Celine asked him nervously.

''Celine I decided to get you out of the lab. I have a couple of under water searches I have to do and I need some help.'' Eric took both her hands and gave them a squeeze. ''Will you dive with me?''

''Eric,'' Celine smiled at him. ''Yes, I'll dive with you.'' Celine giggled and followed Eric over to one of the boats.

''Hey, Eric.'' One of the officers said.

''Hey, Daniel. This is Celine, she's is going ot be diving with me.''

''Well we got plenty of suits.'' Daniel told Celine. ''Do you have any dive experience?''

''Yup.''

''Who was I kidding, if you know Eric, you can dive. Come on over and let's get you two suited up.''

The officer brought them bellow deck and gave them a swim suit each. Eric changed into his then Celine. They went back to the deck and geared up. When they finished Celine and Eic were sitting on the edge of the boat. Eric quickly checked Celine equipment to make sure everything was fine.

''Eric, don't worry. If anything happens, I know you'll be there.'' Celine gave him a peck on the cheak and they both put there mask on and fell in.
Celine looked around the beautiful ocean. She hadn't done this since the last time she saw Eric eleven years ago. Eric was smiling to himself. Celine looked extremely happy in his eyes. This was not only his domain but now hers and he loved sharnig it with her. He watched her glide threw the water enjoying herself. They searched the bottom of the ocean for the amount of time worth of oxygen in there tanks. after about two hours. They resurfaced and mounted on the boat. They put down there evidence and look off they're equipment, except fo the suits.

''So what did you find?'' Daniel asked the two divers.

''We found a two guns.'' Eric said.

''A shoe and a bikini.'' Celine added.

''How was the dive?'' when Daniel asked them, Celine had a big smiled plastered on her face.

''It was extremly boring.'' Celine said.

''Yeah, nothing exciting.'' Eric said.

''Well, I guess we can bring you to the next beach.'' Daniel insisted.

''No, it's ok. We'll drive.'' They grabbed there clothes and headed for the Hummer. They go in and drove to the next beach.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Ryan was processing a whole house. A father, M. Watson, was found dead by his sixteen year old twins. Alice and Broady. They called the police right away and said they touched nothing, which makes some what of Ryan's job a bit easier. Alexx said at first glance, he was stabbed in his chest which punctured his lung and he stopped breathing and bleed to death. He was in the basement, the last room he had left. He collected prints, he collected a foot print and some DNA from a glass of rum and coke half gone. M. Watson obviously had someone over. He was taking a last look over the room when he saw something shine in one of the holes of the pool table. He got closer and took out a knife, covered in blood. He took a cool and finger printed it. He found a finger print with enought ridge detail to get a match back at the lab. He packaged the knife, grabbed all his evidence and headed back to the main floor. He gathered everything he recovered and brought to the Hummer. He loaded his stuff and left to the lab.

Ryan arrived at the lab shortly and unloaded his stuff. He rode the elevator to the right floor and brought all the finger prints to Joseph in the Print lab, all the trace to Eric in the Trace lab and walked over to give Natalia all the DNA. Ryan opened the door and saw an old man going threw paper work and processing DNA.

''Excuse me, but can I help you?'' Wolfe asked the man.

''Nope. I'm fine thanks.''

''Where's Natalia?''

''Taking over my job.''

''Excuse me?''

''I'm Al Grutelli. DNA analist. Natalia quit the day shift, got me retired from DNA analisist and replaced me on the night shift. Natalia's job was given to Celine, I think that's her name. I'm doing her work because she's out with Eric doing something.'' Ryan just stared at Al in desbeleif for a minute or two.

''Ok, you guys got me. You can come out now.'' Ryan said looking around the room smiling.

''Who are you talking to?'' Al asked him.

''Eric and Celine and Natalia are playing some funny joke and your in on it, right Al?''

''Nope. No joke. Look I'm quite busy, do you have any DNA for me?''

''Yeah, sorry to keep you waiting.'' Ryan gave Al his collections of DNA and left for the brake room.

When Ryan reached the brake room he walked over to the sofa and sat. He flipped his phone open and called Celine.

''Oliver.'' Celnie said when she answered her phone.

''Hey, Celine, it's Ryan.''

''Oh, hey you.''

''There is this old guy in the DNA lab that said that Natalia quit, you took her place and your out diving with Eric. What the hell is going on?''

''Well the old guy is Al, he used to be on the night shift but because he's sixty-five he has to retire. Natalia doesn't like working with me so she quit and replaced Al on the night shift. Al is doing DNA for the day because Eric needs help diving and I can dive, so I went with him.''

''Oh, ok. Well I guess I owe Al an apologie.''

''What did you do?''

''I didn't beleive him and scared him.'' Celine burst out laughing and then calmed down.

''Look I have some prints to check out. Don't go crazy over Delko ok?''

''You know it.''

''I'll see you around lunch?''

''Ya I'll be back, don't worry.''

''Alright.''

''Bye.''

Ryan shut it phone andleft the break room. Hewalked over to the Print lab and sat besie Joseph. Joseph was the finger print wizard. He was Ryan's hight, 5'11 maybe. He was average build, African-American, graduated University with many Major's and Masters and had very profind vocabulary. Sometimes, Ryan had no clue what some of the words coming out of his mouth meant.

''Hey Joseph.''

''Well, hello Ryan and yes I am done with the finger prints.''

''Alright, so what have you got for me?''

''Well most of the prints were from the family living in the house.''

''What about the other ones, not in the 'most' category?''

''There's is only one other. It's the one on the knife. Doesn't belong to any of the family members. I ran it threw AFIS and there was no match. Are guy isn't in the system.''

''Alright, is there anyway of getting DNA off of the fingerprint on the knife, sweat or skin cells?''

''Ya I can swab it, give me a minute.'' Joseph took a swap and swabed the finger print on the knife and gave it to Ryan. ''You know, if he's not in AFIS, there's a small chance he'll be in CODIS.''

''I know but its worth the try. Maybe it will match an unsolved.''

Ryan thanked Joseph and went back to the DNA lab. He walked up to Al and handed him the swab.

''Hi, Al. I'm sorry about earlier, I was just confused. No one tells me anything around here.''

''It's fine. I've finished with your DNA. The blood on the knife does match your vic, it also matches the DNA found on the glass of rum and coke.
I haven't searched for a match yet, but I'm just about to.''

''Could you see if this swab matches the DNA of our mystery guy.''

''Ya sure. Where's this from?''

''A finger print.''

Al cut the swab and placed it in the a tube, he added some chemicals and put it into the mixer. The machine mixed up the chemicals and DNA, Then Al extracted some of the liquid form the tube into another tube and place the second tube into a analysis machine. Al used the computer to compare the swab to the mystery blood on the knife.

''It's a match.'' Al told Ryan.

''Alright, that's what I wanted to hear. Now could you run the DNA threw CODIS, see what comes up?''

''Sure thing.'' Al pressed a few keys and the database started searching. They waited a while when the screen popped up.

''No match. Your guy is either new to the crime world or never caught.''

''Great. I got a killer on the loose who I can't find because he is unknown. Thanks Al.'' Ryan said walking out of the lab towards the elevator.

''No problem.''

Ryan reached the elevator and rode it down to the ground floor. He saw Detective Frank Tripp and said his hellos.

''Hey Frank. How was the vacation?''

''Hey kid, It was good. I tanned.'' Ryan raised an eyebrow.

''You mean you burned and your as red as tomato.''

''Ya but later it will change color, to a nice tan.'' Frank patted the side of his head with hid finger and mouthed smart.

''Ya well, I hope it works out.''

''What's with you?''

''Nothing. It's just that Horatio hire a temp. for DNA analysis to help out Boa Vista and then Natalia quit because she didn't like the temp. and replaced the DNA analist of the night shift. The temp. became a permanent, but she's helping out Eric with some under water searches. So now the retired DNA analist is doing the temp., well, perm.'s work.''

''Wow. You can really miss a lot in a week.''

''Ya, you sure can.'' Ryan muttured and stomped off to the Hummer. He went and picked up the to kids of the victim.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Eric and Celine had just finished a second water search and found nothing. They were on there way to their last one. Eric hadn't told Celine which beach, but Celine figured it out once they passed over the ocean to Key Biscayne. It was the beach they first met on and did everything togther, eleven years ago. Celine knew Eric had brought her because of the beach. She knew there was no underwater search and if there was, it wasn't that important. He had told the Daniel and teh rest of the cops and marine partol that he could handle this last search. They got out and Eric geared her and himself up. They walked into the ocean and went from there. They swam looking for anything they could till they hit the rock. Once they go to the big rock, they piled everything they found onto it and got on the rock.

''I found a pair of boxers. Gross. Goggles and a fishing rod.'' Celine said.

''I found a peice of fiberglass - which probably belongs to a boat, and some chain. Oh, and I found this.'' Eric took celine hand and placed a gold bracelet with a gold dangling dolphin with a diamond in he middle of the head, around her wrist.

''ERIC. That's the bracelete that you gave me and I lost it swiming. Its been there all that time?''

''No accualy. I found it swiming to the rock a couple weeks after you left me back then.''

''And you kept it.''

''Celine, I never forgot about you.''

''Not once?''

''No.''

''I've heard that your a slick guy, with the girls, I mean.''

''Doesn't mean I stopped thinking about you. The only reason none of those girls and I were in a serious relationship is because none of them compared to you.''

''Oh, Eric. Thank you.'' Celine and Eric just observed each other carfully. Celine saw passion in Eric's eyes and Eric saw tenderness in her's.

Celine leaned back, not realizing that she was on the edge of the rock and fell into the the water. Eric saw her resurface and gave a her a mocking grin.

''Shut up.'' Celine told him angrily.

''I didn't even say anything.'' She glared at him with eyes that were burning with fury.

''Get your ass in the water.''

''No.'' He smiled at her.

''Well, then,'' Celine said giving him an evil smile and tugged his suit and he then fell in too. He resurfaced. ''I guess I had to convince you.'' And then she laughed at him.

''Oh, Oliver you better swim fast!'' Celine started swiming around the rock but Eric is and always has been a better swimmer and caught up to her real fast. He pulled her under water and she smiled in amazement at how strong he can be. She laughed and bubbled float to the surface. Eric twirled her around slowly and she flowed to his actions. Celine had to resurface, she was out of breath. and when she did, Eric did too, never taking his hands off of her. His head poped out of the water and smiled. They gathered their objects off the rock and swam back to the beach. They got to the beach stripped from their equipment and placed all the evidence in bags in the back of the Hummer. They got in and sat down drenched in water.

''So are we headed back, or do you have more suprises?'' Celine asked Eric.

''Unless you have something in mind.''

''No, not really.'' Celine sighed and buckled her seat belt and they drove back to the lab.

Once at the lab, they left for the locker rooma nd they changed into some dry clothes and Eric put the wet suits in his locker to give to the coast guard next time they met. She some bags with object from the searches to the Evidence locker and Eric borught the rest. they loaded them in boxes and stored the boxes on a shelf.

''Alright, that's done.''

''Pretty simple. Why did you need me?''

''Well, it would have taken twice as long and I love being around you.''

''Aww, Eric.'' Celine gave him a quick but lovely kiss and walked out the door. Eric headed to Finish the rest of the case.

Ryan was interrogating the Watson twins.

''Was your dad with anyone before you left the house?'' Ryan asked them.

''No.'' Alice told him.

''But he was hanging around alot with this guy from his work. Not the day he died, but for weeks he's been coming over talking to my dad.'' Broady said.

''Do you know his name?''

''No but he's one of my dad's partners.''

''And there's only three of them.'' Alice added.

''Are you sure?'' Ryan asked them. they both nodded. ''Alright, well could you describe the man?''

''He was really tall, maybe 6'4.'' Broady mentioned.

''He had blond hair and he was always dressed in the same suit. It was white dress pants, white shoes, white shirt, white tie and a white jacket. I've never seen so much white on one person.'' Alice told Ryan.

''Anything else?''

''He brought a dog one. A Cocker Spaniel. It was white with brown spots.''

''Alright, thanks you two. Your mom is right over there. You can join her now.''

The two teenagers move towards the door and to their mother.

I need a brake. Ryan told himself. And it was almost lunch. Celine promised to meet him in the brake room so he hurried to the elevator and rode the elevator the right floor. Once the doors open he saw Celine walking towards the brake room and ran up to her. They walked together and Ryan politely opened the door and she politely thanked him. Ceilne grabbed her mug and poored herself some coffee and offered some to Ryan and he accepted.

''Here you are.'' Celine said handing him a cup of coffee. ''Be careful.''

''Oh, your a funny one aren't you.''

''That reminds me: How's your hand?''

''I'm a man, I can handle a little burn like that. Fine.'' Ryan said loud and proud. Celine just smiled and raised an eyebrow. ''Don't give me that look.'' but she continued giving him that same look.

''So what was this meeting for?'' Celine asked him.

''I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed last night, even though we had to rush.''

''I'm sorry about that. I will never plan on top of plans ever again. I ruined your plans, that was so rude of me.''

''I don't mind. We all do that sometimes. Plus I got to spend some time with you and you seemed happy. That's all that matters to me.'' He smiled and took her hand.

''Oh, Ryan.'' She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him gently. She turned it into a hug and she stayed glued to him for that for while.

''As much as I'm enjoying this,'' Ryan tells her pulling her away. '' This isn't supposed to be happening, not in the lab. If we get caught, we're in big trouble.'' He smiled at her apologetically.

''I know. Your just so damn sweet.'' Celine told him. He glanced at his watch then back at her.

''Are you really that hungry?'' he asked her.

''Nah. I drank so much ocean water that I won't be hungry for at least another week.''

''Good, because i know exactly where to spend our lunch.''

They ran to the elevator and Ryan pressed the ground floor button more then ten times and turned to Celine.

''Do you like to dance?''

''Ya, it's fun. Like a latin or ballroom dance or just dancing aorund?''

''Fun dancing.''

''My favourite. Why?''

''My friend, he plans big events in Miami. He invited me to one of the events going on today, he gave me to passes.''

''What kind of event.'' The doors to the elevator chimed and Ryan pulled Celine out and ran to hi car. They got in and Ryan started the car and drove down to South Beach.

''It's a big concert thing. A whole bunch of popular rappers, singers, funny people-''

''Comediens?''

''Ya and stuff perform. It only happens once a year. I thought it would be fun.''

''Your the best.'' She smiled and gently placed her hand on his. She looked out the window and spotted the big white tents and a stage with some one performing. Lights in all colors were moving around the performer and so was the paperazzi and TV stations.
Ryan rushed Celine out of the car and they ran up to a gate and flashed their passes to a security guard and ran backstage. Celine was into the who gossip in magazines and watched the Gossib TV shows. She recognized almost every star there. She was so thrilled and glad Ryan brought her. They wen tup closer the the stage and a singer, Celine adored her song, passed them and walked on stage. Celine squeeled and the singer satrted singing.

''Oh my god! That's Lady Gaga!''

''Who?'' Ryan asked her.

''Just listen.'' Celine sang to the song. She started dancing Ryan thought she was a very good singer a a pretty good dancer. He let her be till the song was over.

''You have a terrific voice.'' Ryan told her.

''I sang to myself half all my life - I sang to all music, for. I guess I got better over the years.''

She then saw another singer. It was Rihanna, she didn't really like Rihanna but she had a beautiful voice. Rihanna mounted the stage and started singing Disturbia. Celine, like she did before, sand along. After that song was over, They watched one last act. HelloGoodbye moved on stage and they started singing Here in Your Arms.

I like,
Where we are,
When we drive,
In your car.
I like,
Where we are;
here.

Cause our lips,
Can touch,
And our cheeks,
Can brush.
Our lips,
Can touch;
here.

Celine sang along - like it was her singing in front off everyone. Ryan watched her. She was singing to him with all her heart. He knew it meant this song meant something her.

When you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
That there's no place else I could be but here in your arms.

Celine looked over at Ryan and wrapped her arms around his waist. She looked up at him and sang to him.

I like,
Where you sleep,
When you sleep,
Next to me.
I like,
Where you sleep;
Here.

Cause our lips,
Can touch,
And our cheeks,
Can brush.
Our lips,
Can touch;
here

A guy with a headset and a clip board walked up to them.

''What are you two still doing here, your cue was about,'' He glanced at his watch. ''NOW!'' He pushed them onto the stage and they saw two other couples scattred around the stage holding tight, arms wrapped around each other. Ryan looked at her and did the same. The world suddenly stopped and everyone dissapeared in their eyes.

When you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
That there's no place else I could be but here in your arms.

A guitar player pushed them to the front of the stage and the were still oblivious to everything. They stood there arms around each other, holding tight.

Our lips,
Can touch...
Our lips,
Can touch;
here.

As the singer sang that one part, Celine kissed Ryan and everyone clapped. But the couple still couldn't hear them. Once their lips seperated, Celine cupped his face and they both smiled.

When you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
That there's no place else I could be but here in your arms.

When you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I´ve missed you, I've missed you."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
That there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

Here in your arms
Here in your arms

During the last of the song, Ryan pulled Celine in and hugged her tight. Celine rested her head on his chest and cloed her eyes. They both wished that it would never end. That the song would last forever. But it did and they stayed on there spot. They were wakened from their fantasy by the clapping and wistling. Even the band members were wistling. They waited a few minutes and got off stage.

''Ryan...''

''That's our song, and only ours.'' He said hugging her tighly and then kissing her like there was no tomorrow.

''Celine, I think its time we go.''

''Alright.'' Celine smiled and lead their way out. They walked back to the car and Ryan started the car and drove off.

''That was a blast Ryan!''

''I'm glad you had fun.'' She grinned.

''You really do care about me.''

''Of course I do.''

''If I ever left you, not that I am, would you be able to move on? Pretend nothing ever happen. AND don't give me some sappy junk.''

''Celine, why are you asking me this?''

''Just answer the question.'' Celine said softly.

''I would kinda have to move on. I wouldn't be able to get over you though. Your a dream to be with. I would do anything so that you wouldn't leave me.''

''That's so kind. For some reason I feel like I've heard that before.'' Celine looked at him. ''Oh, ya that's what Eric said.'' Celine mumbled to herself.

''What?''

''Nothing.''

''Well, that's how I feel. Celine, I don't want you to ever leave me. It would break my heart and nothing or no one would be able to fix it.'' Ryan continued.

She looked at him. She saw that he was being truthful to her and she beleived him. I can't keep doing this to him, its gooing to hurt him bad in he end. But I'm to afraid to do anything. Celine thought.

They arrived at their destination and walked over. They enterred and they rode up to the lab and Celine left Ryan to her lab. She saw Al working about and entered.

''Hey Al.''

''Hi Celine.''

''So how's the work coming along?''

''Very good, accualy.''

''Well that's good to know. Can I help?''

''Well, you could sart with that little pile there. Once your done, You could head home early.''

''That's all that's left?''

''Yes sir, or, m'am.''

''Well, your a fast one.'' Celine said giving Al a friendly smile.

''When you have worked this long in the same domain, you get better at it.''

''Of course.'' Celine agreed and nodded.

Eric was walking towards the locker room to get his things and punch his card. He was done for the day and was headed home. He was tired and hungry. He was emptying his locker when a body walked past his row of lockers and oppened a locker door on the other side. He quitely snuck around the row of lockers. He placed his hands on the body's hips.

''ERIC!'' He laughed and kissed her right as she turned around.

''Eric.'' Celine said calmly as she broke the kiss.

''What are you doing here?''

''I'm going home, what about you?''

''Same.'' Celine grabbed her purse and jacket and shut her locker. Looked back at him.

''I know this great place.'' Celine mentioned.

''Oh yeah, where's that?''

''I can't tell you, but it does have food in the fridge and a great big couch.'' She said and winked at him.

''I'm there!''

Eric pushed her all the way out the building and followed her car to her place. Celine got out, locked her car and unlocked her house door. She let both herself and Eric in and shut the door.

''I'm gonna go change into some comfier clothes, I'll be right back.'' She left for about two minutes. When she came back to the living room, Eric was sitting on the the couch just waiting. He turned around and saw her in such plain clothes: A pair of short, white, cotton shorts and a blue sleeved, white baseball shirt. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she was wearing a white headband and a pair of glasses. On her feet, she had big, whitem, fuzzy slippers. Eric looked at her with a grin. She looked just as amazing in her lazy girl clothes as she looks flowing threw the water.

''My turn?''

''If you want.'' Celine said teasingly.

Eric left bumping her hips with his and left into her room and changed. He came out of the room wearing a pair of navy trackpants and no shirt.

''Hey hot shot, you gonna' put a shirt on or what?'' Celine asked Eric.

''Why, is it,'' Eric smiled and deepend his voice ''Distracting?'' She gave him a sexy look and walked up to him. she glided her finger from his hips to his lips slowly.

''More then you even think.'' Eric pulled her to him and they made out, like a couple of teenagers. They ran into the island in the kitchen and Eric lifted Celine up onto it, then layed her down. He then got on and kept kissing her, leaning over her. Eric was passing his hand all over hips and her stomach. Celine was passing her hands from his hair to his face, and then down to his back.

''Do you hear that.'' Celine stopped and said.

''What?'' They they both turn their heads towards Eric's stomach when they realize the noise Celine heard was Erics stomach begging for food.

''Not a very good time.'' Eric told his stamch.

''Let's fill it up. It will leave us alone later.'' She said runing her finger threw the pant waist band. She pulled then let it go, making a clap sound against his skin.

''Pizza ok with you?'' She asked.

''Sounds great.''

''Alright, what kind?''

''Any is fine with me.''

''Alright, I'll go make the call.'' Celine walked away and ordered one large pizza and they said it would be delivered in less then a half hour.
About twenty minutes of arguing over which movie to watch, the doorbell rang and Eric payed for the pizza.

''I still think we should watch some funny movie.'' Telling Eric while bringing the pizza box to the kitchen and putting down on the counter.

''I'm not saying we shouldn't watch a funny movie. I'm saying that we should watch a funny movie that doesn't involve chicks blabbering about some guy who they want revenge on because he sleeping with all of them.''

''Well I don't want to watch a moving thats all shooting and fighting with a guy that says some catchy phrase and a girl in a bra and a tiny skirt that almost doesn't even cover her ass, wearing platform high heels appears as his side-kick.''

''Those are the best.'' She gave him a smile and hit him lightly in the stomach.

''Well, what about this one?'' she said picking up the movie Unbreakable. Eric examined the back of the DVD and read the story.

''Alright, I think we could watch that.'' She smiled and hugged him.

''Your the best. And I get to see Bruce Willis!''

''You know, I'm better then Bruce Willis.''

''How's that?''

''I have great arms, great job and a wonderful girl.'' He said kissing Celine on the forehead.

Eric got up and put the DVD in and Celine got the food and they both sat back on the couch and ate their food. Celine was done first. She had two slices of pizza and she was stuffed. Eric had about five and then he started getting. As they watched the movie, Celine got closer to Eric every minute. Next thing Eric knows, her butt's on his lap, her legs are stretch out almost touching the other side of the couch her head is resting on his arm. His arm was on the arm rest of the couch.
Two hours later, the movie was over and they were just watching some television. Celine was now lying down on her side and Eric behind her holding her close and playing with her hair. They stayed like that till midnight when Celine shut the TV off and turned to him.

''Celine, I love you.''

''What?!''

''I said, I love you. I think I do.''

''You think? I want you to know if you do or not.''

''I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach everytime I kiss you. I'm always happy when I see you, you make me smile when you say my name or if someone talks about you. You're beautiful and full of surprises. And just the way you look at me when I've done something right. I feel like I conquerd the world.''

Celine just cupped his face with her hands and looked into his eyes. She found truthfulness and kissed him.

''Celine, do you love me?'' Celine was still looking into his eyes. She didn't answer and she saw worry grow into his face.

''I...I d-''

''Celine, just tell me.''

''I'm not sure, Eric. I'm still learning about you and what I want.'' She rubbed his cheek with her thumb and kissed him barely. '' When I'm ready. I will tell you.'' Eric smiled and kissed her back.

''I'll be waiting.''

''I know.'' she rolled on top of him and kissed him. She was gently but Eric was feeling passionate he got his tonguw demanding an entrance to her luscious lips which we allowed to continue and he did. Eric's hand roamed her body, getting to know enery curve and every area. Her hands were hugging his neck and passing her fingers threw the little hair he had. They were like that for what seemd a century to them, really an hour. Eric started yawning.

''I'm getting tired.''

''So am I. I'm gonna head to bed.''

''Well, goodnight.''

''You know, my bed is a lot more comfortable then the couch.''

''Are you bragging or are you inviting me in?'' Eric said.

''Oh hurry up!'' Eric got up from the couch and walked in. Celine was lying on her bed very seductively. On her side, one arm holding her hed up and one leg bent over the other. Eric smiled and Celine told him to 'come here' with her finger. Eric pointed a finger at himdelf like 'Who me?' and Celine sent a kiss. Eric stoped messing around and shut the door.
