DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it.
Chapter 5.
ONE WEEK LATER...
"But I want you now... I'm so...," Calleigh whispered into the phone.
"I know you are, but we can't have fun all the time. We actually need to work as well," said Julia calmly.
"If you were right here, I would kiss you all over," Calleigh whispered huskily.
"Ohhhhh," Julia let out at the other end of the phone.
"You want me, too, don't you?" Calleigh whispered.
"Uhm," Calleigh heard Eric say from behind her, and whispered: "I've got to go. I'll talk to you later." before ending the conversation with her lover.
"And I thought you stated you were still single," said Eric. Calleigh blushed. "Well, if I may say so, it makes you look great," he said and smiled at her.
"Thanks. What about you then, are you and Dr. Price?" she wondered.
"No comment at this point," he said and smiled at her.
"That's what I thought. Just be aware of the fraternization rule," she said.
"Does that still really apply now that Rick and H...," he stopped and wrinkled his nose.
"It does, but they are in different departments, so...," she said.
"And so are you and-" he stopped before he added: "How could you even think about sleeping with her?"
Calleigh froze and said: "I-"
"Do you even love her? Or are you girls just screwing each other?" he said.
"I don't like the way you're talking to me, so I suggest you just zip it!" she said, annoyed. "My personal life is nunna your concern!" she snapped.
"You don't have to be so defensive about it," he said and shook his head before he walked out.
"I want my Julia," Calleigh whispered to herself.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'I want my Calleigh,' Julia thought as she was showing some people a house. They didn't seem all too interested and frankly, she was getting a little bored.
"The bathroom isn't bigger?" said the man surprised.
"No," said Julia honestly. She really liked this house. In fact, she loved most of the houses she showed, but this one in particular... Why she didn't know, and the funny thing was none of the buyers looking at it seemed to want it.
"I guess we can tear down a wall and make it bigger if you like it," he said to his wife.
"Can't we think about it a little longer?" she said.
"Sure," the man nodded to her. "We'll give you a call, Miss Winston," he said and headed out as she walked downstairs and sank down on the floor next to the fire place in the living room.
Julia looked at the empty space. The kitchen and the living room were huge. The house also had four bedrooms and two bathrooms, next to an attic, which was quite unusual in Miami, and a big garden.
Julia thought about living in this house with Calleigh. One of the bedrooms upstairs would be Kyle's and the other two could be for future children. She pictured Calleigh's gun vault in the master bedroom and how the living room would be and smiled. Living together would be the next step in their relationship. They already did most of the time, actually. Calleigh's home popped out with Julia's stuff, just like Julia's did with Calleigh's belongings. They mostly slept at Julia's, though. Why she didn't know.
She also knew she could easily afford the house if she really wanted it. She didn't like her old house that much anymore. This was just perfect, so on a split of a second, she effectively made the decision of just buying it and sell her other one. It would after all be a nice change to live there instead. Julia smiled the whole ride back to her office, thinking about Calleigh's face as she told her she had bought them a love nest, and already imagining her self and Calleigh making sweet love in one of the bedrooms on the night of their move. Already hearing Calleigh's screams bouncing off the walls, which would soon be decorated by the happy couple.

"Enter," said Horatio and quickly broke away from Rick, hearing a knock on his office door.
"Hey dad! Oh, you're busy. I'll come back later," said Kyle, looking at Rick.
"No, no. He was just about to leave, weren't you, Rick," said Horatio.
"I- Yes, yes. See you later then," he said, winking at Horatio before closing the door.
"Dad! You heard what mum just did?" Kyle asked frustrated.
"No, what did she do this time?" asked Horatio knowing that Julia had a tendency to do things Kyle wasn't always happy about.
"She bought a new house and put the one we have up for sale without consulting me first," he exploded.
"She did- What? Why?" said Horatio a bit shocked himself.
"She says it's her dream house and the one we've got in present is too old-fashioned," he replied.
"Well, she's allowed to buy any house she wants if she feels like it," said Horatio honestly.
"I don't like living with her anymore," said Kyle.
"How come?" Horatio asked.
"Come on! Her banging that blond ballistics chick of yours? Disgusting," he said.
"Sorry?" Horatio replied.
"She and Calleigh? They've been together for weeks! I walked in on them the other day, and ever since mum's all girly whispers, sweet nothing and other stuff. They aren't exactly loud, but for her to buy a house wouldn't that imply that she isn't just messing around?" said Kyle frustrated. He was not happy with his mother being with a girl.
Calleigh just came into the office, as Horatio swallowed his words.
"So I heard the two of you're buying a new house?" he snarled, sarcastically.
"WHAT?" Calleigh yelled. She didn't know about anything.
"You heard me rightly! If you hadn't come along, she might have been with dad again," said Kyle.
"I'm sorry to burst that bubble, Kyle. But I wouldn't count on that, since your father is already sleeping with Stetler," said Calleigh with a triumphant smile.
"WHAT?" Kyle yelled and turned to face Horatio.
"Whatever-" started Horatio.
"Have you and mum completely lost it?" Kyle yelled at him as hard as his voice allowed.
"Calm down, son," said Horatio in a warning tone.
"The hell with that! I've had it!" said Kyle, and stormed out.
"You just had to do that, didn't you?" Horatio yelled at her.
Calleigh knew for herself that she wasn't supposed to go after Horatio for being with Stetler, since she and Julia were sleeping together as well, but... She threw the case file at him before disappearing, crying.
"You're just a bloody idiot, aren't you, Horatio?" the redhead thought to himself, hands snarled in his own hair.
