" Excuse me, Eric" she said, pointing towards the phone.
***
He just nodded, got up from the couch and went to the kitchen to give her some privacy and to also get himself something to drink. When he returned, he saw she was standing and was putting her cellphone in her bag. It looked like she was about to leave.
" Everything ok?" he asked from behind her.
" yeah yeah, I got go though, I forgot I have a appointment in about 20 minutes." she said laughing.
" Oh ok. Sorry about...you know and thank you" he said waving his hands around the room.
" No worry Eric." she said smiling. " If you need anything call me alright? "
" of course, thank you." he said walking towards her. " let me walk you to the door."
He opened it, and stood there..." alright, out you go." he said.
She laughed because she remember seeing with him, this guy saying this to a girl in a movie. They laughed the entire night, thinking of what kind of guy would say that to a girl. The guy said he was trying to kick the girl out in a nice way, even though it didn't sound like that.
Her laugh and her nearness made Eric's pulse race.
" you kicking me out Delko?" she asked playfully.
" hum yeah, only because i know you have to leave anyway. Plus I always wanted to say that." he replied smiling.
she looked at him as if he was crazy. "Don't ask" he replied laughing.
" Well I'm out, since I'm not welcomed here." she said rolling her eyes, he mirrored her.
She started walking towards her car and as she got in, she waved towards him. He did the same.
About two hours later as he was sitting in the living room eating pizza and watching TV, remembered that he had to attend this pool party at his parents house the next day. So he called his mom to make sure the event was still on and what time he needed to be there.
" hey ma, it's me."
" hi Eric, you coming tomorrow?"
" that's why I'm calling, wanted to know if the thing is still on?"
" of course, everyone is coming."
" sounds fun, what time you want me there?" he asked while flipping some channels.
" Anytime son, just don't get here to late. Be good if you were here before noon."
" yeah ok then, I'll set my alarm."
" make sure you do, so you don't over sleep" she said laughing, she knew Eric never wakes up if he doesn't set an alarm.
" yeah yeah, don't worry ma."
" you bringing Calleigh?" she asked, even though she knew they had broken up. But something told her that whatever they had going on wasn't over yet.
His heart started racing a little when she mentioned Calleigh's name. " Ma, you know..." before he could finish his mom cut him off.
" I know Eric, but you guys are still friends, i think you should."
" we are ma, but it's just not the same."
" what you mean Eric?"
" in a way we both hurt each other mom. I probably more then her..." he replied honestly.
" make it up to her." Gosh, his mom made everything sound so simple.
" it's not that simple, plus things changed."
" you sure?" she asked.
" I got to go ma, but I'll see you tomorrow, promise." he said
" ok son, Te amo."
" tambien. bye."
He sat there in his living room, wondering about what his mom had said. She made things sound so simple. "make it up to her." It wasn't that easy, if he could he would. She also hurt him, but he knew it was his fault, he lead her to do it. He wondered if he should ask her if she wanted to join him to the pool party tomorrow, like his mom said he should. They both had the day off, since Horatio called him, saying to not come in the next day, just take the day to do whatever he wanted. This was probably his chance to really apologize to her, make her understand what had been going on his life and that his intentions were never to hurt her. He thought back about what his mom said when he told her things had changed. " You sure?". He didn't know what to reply, because honestly he didn't know. He knew things between them changed, but today he realized that his most of his feelings towards her hadn't. The question was, had hers?...
His phone beeped again and when he checked that the text was from calleigh he smiled.
" This girl always has perfect timing." he said out loud, while reading the text.
" Is your headache gone? I forgot to ask" - calleigh
" It went away, I'm feeling better. thank you." - Eric
" Alright, ttyl." - calleigh.
He took a deep breath and texted her back. " What you doing tomorrow?" - Eric
" Hum nothing, I have tomorrow off, almost forgot LOL." - calleigh
" would you hum, be willing to join me to a pool party?." - Eric
" at your parents? " - calleigh. She knew it was probably at his parents, because she had been to many of those in the years she has known him. His family was amazing, and when they found out they finally started dating, they treated her like she was one of their own.
" Yeah, my mom asked me to invite you. you know how she loves you LOL " - Eric
" they know about us?" - calleigh. She wasn't sure if he told them. She didn't want to show up and for them to think they were still together, or for them to be mad at her because they had broken up and feel unwelcomed at their house.
" They know, but we're still friends right? and your always welcomed there" - Eric. He was getting nervous, maybe she didn't want to go.
" Alright then, I'll go." - calleigh
He was surprised when he read her text. " you don't have to, if you don't want to calleigh." - Eric
" You said your mom told you to invited me. But i want to know...do you want me there?" - calleigh.
He took a little while to reply, he knew the answer to it. But something about telling her, made him nervous. But he wanted to be honest, something he sometimes hadn't done towards the end of their relationship.
" Of course" - Eric
" see you tomorrow then." - calleigh
" pick you up at 10:00. Goodnight " - Eric
" goodnight Eric. " - calleigh.
Translation:
te amo : I love you
Tambien: Me too.
