Chapter 2…

Twenty minutes pass, twenty-five and she get the strength to go to her door, opening and there he was, sitting on the step of the stairs, waiting for her.

She met his red eyes just like hers from being crying "Why?" a little roughness "why Eric?? From all people, why you? Why lying?" she take a breath and almost like a whisper "You told me once that from now on would be you and me, us…" she said almost crying

"Cal, please let me in… let's talk…" she let him in and sit on the couch.

A minute or two pass and the elephant on the room was getting bigger and bigger until he breaks the silence "Cal…" he turned to her "… I need you to promises me that tomorrow you'll be safe"

"Eric, what are you talking about?"

"Please Cal, promises me…" he gets up and started to pace in the room, he was too nervous to stay sit and she knew it.

Suddenly he kneed in front of her, take her hands in his and look in her eyes "… I need you to be safe tomorrow, I don't know…staying on the lab or if you go out, go with H or Ryan but please don't be alone, please…"

"Eric…" she sigh "…please Cal, promises me"

" ok." she said looking in his eyes, she always find love, happiness but right now she saw darkness, fear, pain… "promises me…"

"I promises you, Eric, but why?" …he had lost this fight; she wouldn't give up, he need to tell her, he won't lie again. "tomorrow I have to do something to Sharova… that's all I can tell you…"

"what!?!? What do you have to do?"

"Calleigh, please I can't tell you more"

"but Eric…"

He close his eyes, leaned on the couch and rub his forehead, a headache was coming in full strength; he was tired, tired of running, tired of lies, of hiding things from her, of fight…then he release a deep breath. She didn't say anything just wait for him to say something and almost as a whisper he told her, hurting evident in his voice " he told me that if I tell anyone about tomorrow I would… I would never see you again…"

Suddenly he hug her so tight like if he released her, he would lost her and a minute after she felt her shoulder getting wet, he was crying and that broke her heart. She never saw him like that before neither in Speed's funeral nor in Marisol's.

"I… I can't lose you Cal, I… I won't lose you…" he said sobbing. He had lie to her because he was threatening for his fat- , for Sharova; he was trying to let her safe.

" Eric you won't lose me…" she said catching, with both hands, his face and look into his eyes "but he told me and we both know what he is capable of" he said

" Calleigh I can't and I won't let anything happen to you… I rather die than live without you"

" No, that's not going to happen… no one will die"

" I love you Cal, I love you more than my life itself, more than words can say… I'll do anything for you, you know that, right?"

" I know and I love you too… more than you can imagine and I'm not willing to live without you either…" she caresses his cheek " but you have to do something… I don't know, talk to H ..."

"no Cal, I need to do this alone, I can't risk. I know what I'm doing"

" but Eric…"

" please Cal, please let's not talk about it anymore ok? I wish… I just want to wake up from this nightmare" he took a deep breath "I'm sorry to put you into this"

" hey… don't ok!?" she pulls him to her and kisses him reassuring, loving, forgiving

" am I forgive?" he break the kiss "always" she kiss him again more deeply let him know her intentions.

He take her in his arms and go to their bedroom, this night they make love slowly, exploring every part of their body without rush, like they never done before, like it was their first time but their last night together. Tomorrow would be the day that could change their lives forever but right now it doesn't matter. Right now was only them, only this and their love.

In the morning…

Today was the day… he was nervous, afraid of what would happen, afraid of never see her again… he couldn't sleep. He just stays awake, holding her, memorizing her, printing every detail of her in his heart. If he dies today, he…

"Hey…" she breaks his thoughts, voice hoarse from sleep

"Hey…" he bent down and kiss her "I love you, never forget that…" he turn his head not letting her see his eyes tearful " Eric… promises me to be careful, please…"

"I promise" he kissed her again and clears his throat " how about breakfast??" They take shower together, changed and get down for breakfast.

The day was only starting and it was too far to end…
