The next morning Michael woke up and Callie was still asleep, sleeping on her left side. Michael pulled her closer and tried not to wake her, but he did.
" What are you doing?" Callie asked looking at him.
Michael smiled and kissed her. Callie added to it.
" Last night was incredible Callie," Michael told her," It was worth the wait."
Callie grinned and sat up, but Michael pulled her back down.
" Where are you going?" Michael asked.
" To go take a shower," Callie answered," Why do you ask?"
Callie then got up and Michael still laid there looking at the ceiling.
" I would love it if we could stay in bed all day," Michael told her.
" I think that would get boring," Callie said," Last night was incredible, but don't expect it again too soon Michael."
Michael got up and stopped Callie before she walked away.
" Callie," Michael told her," I don't expect anything from you. Don't accuse me of it."
" I'm sorry," Callie said," I have work to do and so do you. Don't you?"
Michael nodded his head.
" Look," Callie said," You know I love you with all my heart, right?"
" And I love you with all of mine," Michael told her," Would you marry me?"
Callie looked at him and didn't answer, she just went into the bathroom. A little while later, Callie came out already dressed. Michael looked at her.
" Well," Michael said.
" I can't answer you now," Callie said," I don't know. I'm getting over the fact that last night we made love for the first time."
" I want to marry you," Michael said," I never want to lose you."
Callie went up to him and hugged him. Michael hugged her back as tight as he could.
" I need to think it over," Callie said," Will you let me do that?"
Michael pulled away and looked at her.
" Of course," Michael said," I have to meet Lincoln later. I wonder what he would think?"
Callie grinned.
" He would probably think you're out of your mind," Callie said.
" I don't care," Michael said," Well, actually I do. I love my brother."
" I know you do," Callie said," Afterall you risked you life to save him. I admire you for that Michael. I have to go. I'll see you later."
Michael stopped her again.
" Wait a few moments," Michael told her," I'll walk out with you."
Michael went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. While he was in there, he wondered why Callie didn't ask him to join her. Michael came back out a few moments later and went into the bedroom to get dressed. Then, he went out of the building with Callie.
" We can do this together," Michael told her," Would you come with me?"
" You know I will," Callie said.
Michael smiled at her. He was grateful to Callie, who came into his life at exactly the right time.
