Michael ended up going to clean up at Lincoln's apartment. Lincoln saw Michael come out of the bedroom with a huge smile on his face.

" The look on your face says you had a great day," Lincoln said.

" More then great," Michael said," Everything is falling into place. I have everything I want right in front of me."

Lincoln looked at his brother and smiled.

" You're going over to be with Callie, right?"

" Where else would I go Linc?"

Lincoln got up.

" Are you coming home or staying there?"

" I don't know," Michael answered," I'm not pressuring Callie into anything. We've talked about it."

Lincoln shook his head.

" What Linc?"

" You don't think I've noticed you calling out Callie's name in the middle of the night? You're having dreams about her."

" So?"

" You want her to sleep with you."

Michael sat down.

" You know what. Why is this any of your business?"

" Sorry. I'm only trying to help. I know, technically, you have slept together."

" I know where you're driving at Linc. I can't talk to you about this. What happens between Callie and I, is between us."

Michael then got up.

" Who knows what's going to happen, but I'm prepared. No need to wait up."

Michael ended up leaving and Lincoln sat down.

" Don't do anything that would hurt her," Lincoln thought," The last thing you want, is Callie hating you."

Meanwhile, Callie was working on dinner for herself and Michael. The radio was on and Callie was humming to the music. She heard a knock on the door and looked out to see Michael. When she opened the door, Michael was standing there smiling at her.

" You clean up nicely," Callie said," Does Lincoln know where you're at?"

" I don't have to tell my brother everything," Michael told her," May I come in?"

Callie nodded her head and Michael came in. Callie shut the door and Michael immediately kissed her,

" Wow," Callie said," My guess it you've been waiting all day to do that?"

" That and more, but I promise you I won't push it."

Callie went to go check on dinner and Michael simply looked at her.

" What are you looking at?" Callie asked.

" Who else am I looking at?" Michael asked sitting down," You're beautiful."

Callie went up to him and placed a kiss on him. Michael added to it and brought her closer. The kiss deepened and it kept moving forward. They ended up on the sofa.

" Wait," Callie said," I'm sorry."

" Don't be," Michael told her," I understand."

Callie sat back a little.

" When it feels right, how do you know?" Callie asked.

Michael didn't know what to say.

" I'd be lying if I said this didn't feel right now, it does Callie. I want so much to make love to you."

Callie nodded her head.

" So do I," Callie admitted," But you have to do me a few favors."

" Name it," Michael told her," I do have protection."

" I figured you would," Callie said," Will you go slow?"

Michael grinned and nodded his head.

" What other way is there?"

Callie smiled and put her head on Michael's shoulder.

" What are you doing now?" Michael asked her.

Callie looked up and him.

" Listening to the sound of your heart beating," Callie answered," It's very comforting."

" Holding you in my arms in comforting to me," Michael told her," Don't you have something cooking?"

Callie then got up and nodded her head and took out what was in the oven. Michael came up and looked at her.

" Macaroni and cheese?" Michael asked.

Callie frowned.

" You don't like it?"

Michael smiled at her.

" It looks great."

Callie put the food on the table then went to the cabinet and got some plates.

" Simple and easy," Callie said," The way I like it."

Callie sat down and Michael sat down across from her.

" What?" Callie asked.

" Nothing," Michael told her," I like things simple too."

The two of them ate, mostly in silence. In the back of her mind, Callie thought about how much she loved Michael.

" What's wrong with me?" Callie asked herself," I know what I want, but why am I so scared?"

Callie let out a sigh.

" What's wrong?" Michael asked.

Callie said nothing and got up. Michael got up and went up to her.

" Hey," Michael told her," It's me, you can talk to me about anything. You know that right?"

Callie nodded her head.

" So what is it?" Michael asked.

Callie sighed again, what she was about to say wasn't going to be easy.
