Hey (: Sorry I haven't updated in ahwile, last week was hectic to say the least. Well here you go, chapter four. It's kinda short, sorry 'bout that. Read and Review S'il Vous Plaît.
Chapter Title- Love Story (Taylor Swift)
She was glowing. That's the only way she could think to explain it. She had been going out with Eric for a little over three months, and they were some of the best months she had had in her whole entire life.
Briskly walking through the halls of the Miami-Dade Crime Lab, Calleigh couldn't wipe off the smile that had been adorning her face for the last three months. Even the most gruesome crime scenes couldn't bring her down. Not when everyday she got to go home to her wonderful, loving, devastatingly handsome boyfriend. That was another thing, Eric had since moved in with her. Some might have said that it was sudden, but they felt seven years of foreplay was a long enough wait. She smiled to herself, and continued down the hallway to Eric's fingerprint lab.
"Hey handsome," she greeted as she wrapped her arms around Eric from behind.
"Hey beautiful," he countered, spinning around and giving her a quick peck on the lips.
"Eric, we're at work." She was blushing now; checking over her shoulder to make sure no one had seen them.
"I don't care; I want the whole world to know how much I love you." Her heart melted, he always knew what to say. She couldn't resist another quick kiss. He smiled; he so loved this carefree Calleigh.
"Did you run the print through AFIS?"
"Yup. Horatio and Tripp are in interrogation right now. With luck we'll be able to call it today in about an hour or so.
"My hero."
"So Ms. Duquesne, I was thinking we could have dinner on the beach tonight. Sound good?"
"You know me, I go with the flow." He snorted.
"Since when?"
"Since right now." She smiled. Nothing could be more perfect about their relationship, unless… Her thoughts were cut short by her phone vibrating at her hip.
"Duquesne"
"Calleigh, its Horatio. We have a signed confession and a murderer up in booking. You may end your shift now if you would like."
"That's great Horatio. Alright well I'll see you tomorrow."
"You and Eric have a nice evening, ma'am." And with that he was gone.
Calleigh stood there staring at her phone, dumbfounded. The only people that she and Eric had told about their relationship were Ryan and Natalia. Other than that she didn't think that anyone else knew. She shook her head, of course Horatio knew. That man seemed to know everything.
"That H?"
"Mhhm. We got our guy, and he said we can go ahead and leave. You want to go get the car and I'll go get my stuff out of my locker?"
"As you wish my lady." He smiled at her, and she rolled her eyes.
"And they say chivalry is dead."
….
As they sat on the beach Eric knew that this is what he wanted for the rest of his life, he wanted Calleigh. He hadn't been lying when he said he wished that he and Calleigh could settle down. Although it was cliché, he had always dreamt about the white picket fence American dream.
"Calleigh?"
" Hmm?" She hummed from her place between his legs.
"I love you." She turned to face him; unshed tears making her green eyes sparkle.
"Oh Eric, I love you too." He never got tired of hearing it. No matter how bad his day was, those three words made him melt every time he heard them. She kissed him, slow and sweet. They didn't have to rush; they had all the time in the world. He broke the kiss to catch his breath, leaning down to whisper in her ear.
"Marry me." She pulled back to look in his eyes.
"What?" She searched his eyes to see if he was joking, she found nothing but sincerity.
"Marry me," he repeated. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out the ring that he had kept hidden for the past month. He waited for her reaction.
"Oh my god, Eric," she breathed. "Of course I'll marry you."
Nothing could be better than this.
A/N: Hmm... well that was better in my head. Oh well, I'll make up for it with the next chapter. Read and Review.
