So sorry for such a late post! :O -shot-
Hope this is good ^^;;
Thanks for the V&R! =)
P.S. Go Waddleduck ;)
Recap:
Hey, Horatio, can you come in and give me a hand please?
Oh crap. Was all the redhead could think as he responded against his will. Sure Cal, I ll be right in.
He watched helplessly as his body moved against his will. Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap.
Then the door opened.
Crap infinity.
Horatio gulped as the door opened. There before him was Calleigh. Yes, he knew that she was going to be there, but he expected a Calleigh with more clothing on. All she sported was a pair of bikini bottoms and her bra, her bikini top in her hand. He watched as she blinked at him and tilted her head. "Everything okay handsome?" she smiled.
That's when Horatio snapped. 'Oh, my lord.' Was all he could think he watched as her grin grew. 'She knows exactly what she's doing to me!' He was about to reply to her but she tossed her top at him.
"I can't tie it up, can you please?"
Horatio watched his hands shake. Great, now he was a teenage boy all over again.
He reached his hand out to unclip her bra when she laughed.
"I always thought you were a guy who would sleep on the second date!" Calleigh giggled.
Horatio's face paled. "I...you...um...fu...?" he mumbled back. 'Wait what!?' His mind screamed. 'Come on Caine, think of a good comeback!'
Calleigh giggled and reached around her back, which was facing Horatio. She unclipped it with ease and let it drop to the ground.
Now Horatio felt as if he would pass out. 'Breathe, Horatio....BREATHE!' he screamed mentally.
Horatio stood motionless as he watched things happen in slow motion. It reminded him of when he was a kid and watched dumb cartoons where something dramatic would happen and everything would slow down, then again his Mamma was always there with Ray with cookies.
Horatio giggled like a child. "Yes Mamma." He grinned then felt his face go pale.
"What?" Calleigh asked, glancing over her shoulder, keeping her arms against her chest.
"Um, nothing ma'am." Horatio responded quickly.
Shrugging, Calleigh waited for him to tie up the strings. Once he finally did she turned and grinned.
"Well, what do you think?"
"Pshh-Agent Waddleduck, where are you? This is Agent McHottie, I repeat where are you-psh-over."
Ryan blinked from his awesome crouching duck pose, which was right beside the Mall's only gaming store. Said store chose this day to release their new Rock Hero game today, causing a huge mob to form right in front of him.
"What's a Psh?" Ryan grinned happily into his cell, the one Eric had been so persistent on calling a Walki-talkie. Why they didn't go grab their normal talkies, or go buy some cheap ones he wasn't sure.
"You idiot, it is static sound effects." Eric snapped from his normal pose, which was simply walking. He was to lazy to crouch or hide behind some fake plant again.
"Well couldn't we use other sound effects or music?"
"No, and we don't use music 'till we find Red and Bullet Girl, over."
"You make it sound like Horatio and Calleigh are committing a felony." Wolfe then remembered Eric had said something after he was done talking. "Oh yeah! Under!"
"Listen Waddleduck. We need to find them, and it is over not under."
"Fine, well they are in that bikini store on the second floor if you must know."
"Okay meet me by the big tree, over."
Ryan blinked and glanced around, there were MANY big trees, since the mall had decided to have a tree convention as well. "Ugh, which big tree?"
"You dumbass, the one near the big puddle, over and out." Delko snapped before closing his phone and walking off.
Now Ryan was confused there were many ponds and trees in the mall, but no big puddles. Sighing he nodded softly to himself. "This is why I deserve to be the leader." He grumbled.
Twenty minutes later Ryan found Eric in the food court. He glanced around urgently.
"Okay, where is that fucking tree and puddle?" He snapped throwing himself down in the seat across from he Cuban.
Said Cuban was happily slurping on a Froster, ignoring his co-worker. "Well let's get going!" he grinned, hopping up. He glanced at his watch and realised it was only 11:30.
"Great now lets get them!" He boomed as he rushed up the stairs, full of energy. Leaving a sad, hungry, tired Waddleduck behind.
They eventually found that stupid Bikini store, after fighting off people coming up to them claiming they could beat them in 'Sticksaber' fights and that they should go watch 'Leaf Wars' when they get home.
"Okay, they are both in there." Eric mumbled as he turned to Ryan.
The younger man nodded as they both glared at the entrance. "Okay, we get in beat up H, then grab Cal and get out, got it?"
Ryan nodded. 'But what if Cal is changing....' he thought, then blushed immensely at the thought.
Grinning, Delko grabbed his phone and play the 'Mission Impossible Theme'.
They took two steps forwards before feeling a small hand on both of their shirt's collars and were yanked back. They turned and froze as they saw their worse nightmare....Alexx.
"Now you two better tell me what you think you are doing to my babies." The small woman snapped.
"Aww but Alexx, I thought I was your baby." Eric smiled softly, trying to charm his way out.
"Don't give me that Mister, I know for a fact that Calleigh and Horatio are in there and you two shall not mess this up!"
"How do you know they are in there?" Eric asked simply.
"I set them up on this, well forced Calleigh to ask him. And like I said you will not mess this up for them."
"B-But Al-exx!" Ryan stuttered.
"No buts mister, unless you want me to kick both of yours."
Eric froze, he had seen what had happened when Speed had gotten Alexx ticked. It was not pretty....poor Speed. He lost a ball that day, and he didn't have enough money for a replacement....he was really getting good at juggling too.
Alexx had let both men go when she turned her back to lecture Ryan. At that moment Eric had taken the chance to get away and into the store.
________________________________________
Horatio stared wide eyed at the skimpy bikini. The material was black and shiny, making it look almost like leather.
"You look so damn beautiful Cal, though anything could, this just has more exposure and....oh god." His face was as bright as his hair as he blurted out how he felt at her, or almost.
He was about to say more when they heard someone yell out Calleigh's name after they yelled 'OH MY GOD'. Both froze when they realised the door was still open. They both turned their heads ever so slightly to see a flushed Eric standing at the door, panting wide eyed and fists clenched.
"E-Eric!?" Calleigh shrieked as she blushed.
Horatio turned back to Calleigh and hid her body with his own. "What is it, Delko?"
All Eric could do was point at the flushed Calleigh and the seemingly unfazed Horatio.
"Wa-h, -w-ah WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HER!?" He screamed, holding his head as if he was in agony.
Both Calleigh and Horatio froze and looked at each other. "Helping Calleigh with her bathing suit?" The Lt. responded honestly.
His response was greeted with another. 'oh my g-' but it never finished as they saw two small hands throw him to another set of arms.
Alexx glared at Eric in Ryan's arms, they kept staring at Alexx and Horatio, who had stuck his head out to see what was going on.
"You two lover boys can get going." She smiled softly as they yelped and broke apart.
That's when the manager walked over calmly and asked what happened.
Alexx smiled and explained how she was shopping with her newly engaged friends when these two dumbasses came over and tried to get a sneak peek at Horatio...even though he wasn't changing.
Horatio was a deadly white while Calleigh's face matched her 'fiance's' hair.
Alexx waved goodbye to the manager and the 'happy couple' as she dragged Eric and Ryan away.
The two 'love-birds' turned back to each other while they smiled softly.
"Are you alright sweetheart?" he asked softly, closing the stall door this time.
Calleigh nodded softly before wrapping her arms around Horatio.
Horatio never expected this kind of response as he wrapped his arms around Calleigh tightly.
"Thank you." Was audible in little more than a whisper.
"Anytime Sweetheart, anytime."
They held each other for a long time, though it was only minutes it felt more like hours, days possibly even years.
"Calleigh..."he sighed as he nuzzled his face into her hair.
"Hmm..." The blonde beauty responded, still caught up in her own emotions.
"I love you."
That was the moment where Calleigh felt her heart literally stop beating.
"W-Wa-what?" She stuttered, raising her head, eyes wide with shock.
"Nothing." Horatio whispered.
Calleigh sighed softly as a smile graced her face as she snuggled back into his embrace. She had heard him say it.
'I love you.'
The three words she had always hopped and dreamed of hearing, but never in her wildest dreams believe he would ever say.
She smiled and pushed him out of the changing room.
Horatio blinked, stunned by the movement. "Cal did I-" he was cut off with a laugh.
"I'm sorry Lieutenant Caine but I don't give peepshows till at least the second date, that is before I sleep with my date." Calleigh drawled as she closed the door.
Horatio gasped, but recovered by coughing over it. His stupid grin once again returned to his face and he tried to frown, but he couldn't.
Calleigh giggled as she emerged a few minutes later, four bathing suits in her hands.
"I thought you only tried on three of them?" He asked softly as he grabbed them and placed them on the counter, which he quickly paid for, earning a blush of approval from his blonde angel.
"I did." Calleigh smirked as the walked out of the store, arms linked.
"The fourth is for you."
Horatio froze and turned to Calleigh.
Calleigh was in a fit of giggles as she shook her head. "Nah, it is for me handsome."
Horatio chuckled as they exited the mall and into the parking lot, that's when they saw Eric and Ryan being beaten by Alexx's 8 year old daughter with her own little hand purse.
"I told you they were wimps." Calleigh giggled as they entered the hummer.
"I was thinking of another word." Horatio smirked as he started up the vehicle and started back for Calleigh s house.
"And that would be?"
"Puerile."
Calleigh blinked at the word. "Excuse me?"
Horatio laughed softly. "Childish Calleigh, childish."
Biting her lip, the ballistics expert glared out the window, embarrassed for not know such a simple word.
"Hey now, I didn't know it until I Googled the word 'stupid'." Horatio grinned.
Calleigh turned back around quickly and gasped loudly. "HORATIO CAINE!" she giggled. The thought of Horatio Googling the word stupid was enough to send her into a fit of laughter.
"Okay, okay. That's enough we're here."
"Aw darn, and I really wanted to figure out if you tweet yet." She smirked as she grabbed the bag at her feet.
"Tweet? Like a bird?" Horatio responded.
Calleigh laughed as she shook her head. "Thank you for everything! I'll see you in-" She paused and glanced at the clock. "In about 40 minutes handsome!"
Horatio nodded and smiled. "'Till then, beautiful."
He blinked as Calleigh leaned over and pecked him on the lips softly with a soft blush covering her cheeks. "Thank you again Horatio."
With that Calleigh hopped out of the car, went to her door and unlocked it before entering. She paused before closing the entrance and turned and waved, before blowing him a kiss.
Horatio smiled softly as he ducked his head, just in time to catch the blown kiss.
So there Mr. Caine sat, his face the colour of his hair, sunglasses fumbled in his hands and stupid smile plastered on his face.
He sighed as he raised his head with confidence as he slipped his sunglasses on. "No problem, Calleigh." He whispered to no one before pulling out of the driveway and heading home.
Things were going to get interesting around here.
Eric and Ryan continued to cry out as he small Woods child beat them with a tiny bag. "Please!" Ryan shrieked for the umpteenth time. "We're sorry!"
Alexx returned to her daughter and took her hand. "Let's go baby, we need to go get ready for Calleigh's party." She smiled.
"You're bringing THAT monster to the party!" Eric cried out as he hid behind Ryan.
Alexx smirked. "Come on Angel, were going home."
The two CSIs watched as the two African-American women left before sinking down.
"Holy crap." Ryan whispered as he trembled.
"I swear to god that after this I am going to get-"
"DON'T TELL ME YOU WANNA GET FIXED!"
Eric froze and slapped his partner across the face. "Get a hold of yourself man! I was going to say ice cream, but now I have a better idea!" He grinned evilly.
"And that is? "Ryan snapped. This plan had gone wonderfully.
"We need to go buy many water balloons and other water junk. It is war with Caine."
"Is that really a smart idea Delko? This is the man who goes up against felons everyday, he might turn and fight back, but with everyone else on his side."
"Not everyone." Eric smirked as he rose from against the wall. "We have a secret weapon that he will not be able rendered useless against."
"And who would that be?" Ryan replied, copying his friends movements.
"Yelina."
TBC
Dun dun dun, lol Yelina always did kinda scare me, she always looked ready to kill anyone around. =)
Let's see if Horatio's feelings are true to Calleigh, and if Calleigh can keep her hands off of Eric ;)
**Next post will not be as stretched as this one was, again I am very sorry for that**
I also heard Adam Rodriguez(Delko) might be leaving CSI to do other things, which would really suck considering he is such an eye candy ;) lmao
