A/N : I'm SOOOOOOO sorry it took this long for me to update , but i was kinda at a writer's block and i had alot of papers & projects due for school and stuff .
This chapter starts off as being cute and happy , but it ends kinda sadly and on a cliffhanger !
I've already started on the next chapter so READ AND REVIEW .
"Good morning everybody!" Calleigh greeted as she got in the car with the Delko family.
"Hey Calleigh." Analia said.
"'Morning Calleigh." Dom said.
"Hey babe." Eric told her wanting to kiss her badly, but he knew that wouldn't happen as long as they were in the car with his parents.
"Hey you."
Eric was in his warm up suit and flip flops, and under he wore his swim trunks. He was kind of nervous because this would be the first time he would be competing in front of Calleigh. But he had faith in himself and he knew he would do just fine.
Calleigh wore ERIC'S t-shirt that had Delko written on the back. She also sported a pair of slightly ripped jeans and white sneakers. Her hair, unlike normal was high up in a ponytail because she knew the humidity from the pool would make it frizzier than normal.
They pulled up at the school parking lot and everyone got out of the car. Eric's parents and Calleigh started walking to the door, but Eric grabbed Calleigh around her waist from behind and she slowed her walking pace.
"Babe, I didn't get a kiss from you yet." Eric whispered in her ear.
She turned around in his arms, so they were still around her waist. She stood on her tip toes and kissed him passionately.
"Hey there's Andre and Dontae." Eric told Calleigh as he walked with her towards the bleachers.
"Oh . . . is Wyatt with them?"
"It doesn't look like it, but if he is, you sure as hell aren't sitting with them."
"I wouldn't want to sit with them if Wyatt was here. If he comes, I'm gunna leave and sit with your parents."
"Yeah, because I don't want you anywhere near that shit head."
"Eric, you're getting mad all over again. You need to relax and prepare for your competition!"
"You're right Cal." Eric exhaled deeply. "See . . . I'm calm. I'm calm."
"Hey Delko." Dontae said
"Hey guys. 'Yall remember Calleigh right?"
"How could we forget her?" Andre answered
"Is Wyatt coming?"
"Hell no! I can't stand him!" Andre told him.
"Good me either. And I don't want Calleigh to be around him!" Eric said and Calleigh rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry Delko. We'll take good care of your girl!" Dontae said.
"You better!" Eric playfully threatened. "Alright you guys, I have to go meet up with coach and the rest of the guys."
"Good luck Delko!" Dontae yelled.
"Make us proud!" Andre yelled.
"If you lose, I'm taking this "Delko" shirt off." Calleigh yelled making the guys laugh.
"So Calleigh…how's it been going with Eric?" Andre asked.
"It's been going pretty good."
"I hope you know Delko is completely whipped for you!"
"You guys really think so?" Calleigh asked acting shocked as if she didn't know how Eric felt about her even though they hadn't really said I love you yet.
"Hell yeah we think so. As a matter of fact, we know so!" Dontae told Calleigh.
"I've never seen Delko so willing to do anything for one of his girlfriends. That boy would jump off of a bridge for you Calleigh! I just hope you're prepared for school. . .half of the girls at DHS has been trying to get with him since like kindergarten."
"Girls like Marissa?" Calleigh asked.
"Yup. You know her?" Andre asked
"We've met and she's made it very clear that she wants Eric."
"I don't like her." Andre confessed
"Me neither, she's a stalker!" said Dontae.
"From my understanding, she's been spreading rumors about me and Eric already. So once we start school a lot of people will already have ideas in their heads about me."
"It's cool Calleigh me and Andre will always have you and Delko's back!"
"Yeah, don't worry about that girl." Andre said.
"I'm not. She just works on my nerves. I'll probably wind up whooping her ass before the end of the year."
"I didn't know you were a fighter Calleigh." Dontae said.
"I'm not, but after a while…I'll crack like any other person. And I always defend what's mine!"
"Yours…meaning Eric. Right?"
"Of course." Calleigh said adding a slight tone of sex in her voice
"Eric, I'm so proud of you babe!" Calleigh told him as they walked back to the car.
"Thanks. I told you that you were my good luck charm." Calleigh smiled at him.
"Calleigh, we're gunna have a victory dinner at our house. I hope you're staying."
"Of course I am Mrs. Delko. You know I never pass up your cooking."
"Great. Eric text Andre and Dontae and tell them they're invited too."
"Okay."
"Um Eric am I allowed in your room?"
"Why wouldn't you be allowed in Cal?" Eric asked her laughing.
"Well, last time I was here, me and you weren't dating; I just wasn't sure how your parents felt about it."
"Cal my parent's love you and they know we wouldn't be doing anything too explicit while they're anywhere near the house."
When they got upstairs Calleigh laid out on Eric's bed, her head resting on his pillow.
"You know, I really like the way you look on my bed Calleigh."
"Thanks, you know I really like the whole feeling of it." She said her southern accent loud and clear. Calleigh looked up from her phone and Eric was down in his drawers searching for a shirt change into, as the one he had on was a bit damp. Calleigh was in heaven as she looked at his bare chest.
"Eric come down here." They heard his mom call from downstairs, as Calleigh's little daydream was interrupted.
"C'mon babe." Eric told Calleigh to come with him as he out a shirt on.
They went downstairs and Calleigh saw a beautiful young girl who looked to be about 18 or 19 standing in the embrace of Eric's father. Eric ran up to the girl and hugged her tightly! Calleigh was somewhat confused as to who the girl was and why she and Eric were so close.
"Damn, little brother you got even bigger since the last time I saw you!" The girl said.
Little brother? This must be the big sister he's been telling me about?
"Nah Mari, I think you just shrunk while you were away with all of your little friends in college. You always were on the short side anyway!"
"Oh shut up Eric! And introduce me to your friend!"
"If you give me a chance Mari!" Eric said as he turned around and pulled Calleigh to him by her waist.
"Marisol this is my girlfriend Calleigh Duquesne…Cal, this is my big sister Marisol!" Eric introduced.
"Hi Calleigh, how are you?" Marisol asked as they shook hands.
"Hi Marisol, I'm good, thank you." Calleigh answered.
Eric took Marisol's bags up to her room.
"Why don't you two girls go in the living room and get to know each other a bit before the others get here." Dom suggested.
"Sure Daddy." Marisol agreed.
"So, how long have you and my brother been dating Calleigh?" Mari asked Calleigh.
"Last week made a month."
"Wow, that's pretty impressive for my brother. He hasn't had the best luck when comes to relationships."
"Me neither, I think that's why we became friends in the first place."
"Well…I can already tell he really likes you."
"Y'know everyone keeps telling me that, but how can you tell?"
"My little brother never tried to introduce any of his girlfriends to any of us before, we always had to find out by one of his little friends or something, because he knew we wouldn't approve. My parents tell me you're great and from what I've heard, you already met some of extended family."
"Yeah, I really like your brother a lot too Marisol and I'm so happy that your parents approve of our relationship because the last thing I needed was a great boyfriend with an angry family!"
"Well, you have nothing to worry about…but enough talking about you and Eric and tell me about yourself."
"Well…I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana up until about a month and a half ago…and then my dad and I moved here."
"How did you meet Eric if school hasn't started yet?" Marisol asked.
"Eric and your mom came over to welcome us into the neighborhood."
"That sounds just like my mom." Marisol chuckled.
"What are you two talking about?" Eric asked as he came in the living room and sat down next to Calleigh, wrapping his arm around her neck.
"We were talking about how I moved here and how we met." Calleigh told him.
"Oh. So Mari how's school going and stuff?"
"Everything is great little brother. My grades are fantastic, my teachers are fantastic, and my friends are fantastic!"
"I'm glad everything is just so damn fantastic!" Eric said.
"Have mom and dad been running you ragged since I've been gone?"
"Hell yeah!" Eric responded quickly and the girls laughed.
"Well no, they've been pretty good but I can already tell that they're gunna be riding me about my grades this entire school year!"
"Good someone needs too! I'm sorry little brother but, Calleigh is too gorgeous and smart to have a boyfriend that has terrible grades, that'll bring her image down."
"Your right Marisol, but I have a feeling that Eric's gunna be doing really good in school this year."
"I sure hope so Calleigh."
"Watch Mari, I'm gunna show all of you up this year!" Eric said determination evident in his tone of voice.
"Alright little brother!" Marisol said.
"Hey guys." Eric said as Dontae and Andre came into his house.
"What's up Delko?"
"Hey bro."
"Hey Marisol, we haven't seen you in forever!" Andre said.
"I know! I actually kinda missed you guys a little bit."
"Awe Marisol missed us." Dontae turned to Andre and said.
"Yeah, but I still think you guys are annoying…but it's all out of love."
"Awe we love you too Marisol!" Andre said.
"Yayyyyyyy!" Marisol says sarcastically.
"Alright you guys, dinner is ready I thought you guys would all want to eat outside at the patio table."
"Alright, that's cool mom!" Eric told her as everyone walked outside to the table.
They saw this huge feast that was prepared for them at the table, everyone sat and ate in a comfortable silence with some funny, light conversation occasionally. After a while, Andre and Dontae left separately, Marisol went out to go catch up with some of her friends, Dom and Analia were both tired and went to bed, that left Eric and Calleigh by themselves downstairs cuddled up on the couch watching a movie.
Eric's was laid out and his back was pressed up against the couch's back and Calleigh was settled in front of him in the same position except her back was pressed against his chest. Eric's arms were snaked around her waist and their hands were joined. They also had a light blanket thrown over top of them.
"So Calleigh how'd you like my sister?" Eric asked her knowing that his sister was still a big part of his life even if she went to college out of state.
"I think she's great Eric." Calleigh answered.
"I think she likes you a lot too babe." He told her kissing her cheekbone lightly.
"Thank God."
"I don't know why you were even nervous…ALL of my family likes you Calleigh!"
"It wouldn't really make a difference to me, but you know relationships can be made harder without the approval of family."
"Well…when will I get to meet your dad Calleigh?"
"…I don't know Eric. It's really not that necessary for you to meet him."
"I feel like it is Calleigh! You've met all the important people in my life and I feel like I deserve to meet the important people in yours. It's not like I'm some scumbag boyfriend Calleigh…" Eric said stating to get annoyed!
"Eric, I didn't say you were a scumbag boyfriend, I just don't feel that it should make a difference in our relationship whether you meet my dad or not!" Calleigh said returning the anger.
"I think you're hiding something from me and Calleigh. If we're together ALL of our dirty laundry should be aired out from the beginning that includes family Calleigh!" Eric said getting louder.
"Keep your voice down, your parents are trying to sleep! Eric, what the hell could I possibly be hiding from you? I already told you that my dad is a recovering alcoholic it was hard enough for me to do that, what else do you need to know?"
"Calleigh…what does your dad think about you having a boyfriend?" Eric asked, but Calleigh never answered.
"Your dad doesn't even know about me Calleigh does he?"
"Eric…" She said trying to calm him down.
"Does he Calleigh?" Eric yelled staring her dead in the eyes so he would know if she was lying or not.
"….No, he doesn't know Eric."
Eric gave her one last look in the eyes, before he stalked up the stairs and went into his bedroom where he slammed the door shut, leaving Calleigh sitting on the couch cold and alone, with her face in her cupped hands silently crying to herself.
