chapter 3

Can we pretend that airplanes
in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now?
(Wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
in the night sky…
(Gillian's cell phone ringing inside her purse)

"Hey love!" Cal sounded from the other side of the line.

"Cal, were are you? It's eight thirty …" Gillian shouts him a little heatedly than she expected. She was upset with his delay plus she was starving to death.

"Sorry, love but … Gillian you need to come bail me out." Cal puts out troubled.

"What did you do this time? Are you ok?" Concern was evident in her voice. Some regret for shouting at him in the first place.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll explain you later!" He replied pleasantly.

Gillian arrived at the police station. Once inside she talked to the policeman who got him arrested. After some paperwork they were free to leave the place. Her head was pounding with so many questions and the lack of food wasn't helping either.

"Sorry Gill." His eyes traveling from her brows to her mouth, in deep analyzes.

"It looks like you have a lot of explaining to do!" Gillian points out giving him a comforting smile.

"Yeah, I know but first we need to eat!"

"Chinese?"

"Maybe next time love. I have a surprise for you, if I hadn't been locked up… "

Gillian drove him back to his car. Then they drove to Cal's house. They parked outside and Cal got a wicker basket from the back of his car. Gillian studied his face and finally realized they were supposed to be having a picnic or something similar.

"Oh Cal, should I say you're a hopeless romantic?" She asked laughing.

"Yeah, that's right." He placed the basket in the floor, circled her around the waist pushing her closer. His hands moved to her shoulders and then rear to the small in her back again. "But that doesn't mean I won't like an incentive?" Gillian gave him her best naughty smile. "Just now and then…" She didn't let him finish the sentence swiftly holding their lips together. "Hmm…" Cal sounded delighted. And Gillian was amused. Then she pulled back a little, just enough to articulate a few words. "As much as I like kissing you and I really do, I guess we should move inside and eat." He didn't let her go at first instead he graze their noises and kissed her again biting softly her lip. After that they moved inside.

"If this was supposed to be a picnic we couldn't possibly eat on the kitchen Cal."

"We could eat in my bed." Cal suggests smirking.

"You're joking, right? Bring the table-cloth!" Gillian demands him

"Your wishes are orders!" Cal declares theatrically.

They moved the table in the living room and laid the table-cloth in the floor with all the food and wine. Then Cal moved to the stereo and a warm song filled the air. At first they eat in silence then Cal looked to her and she gave him a reassuring smile.

They put the things back in the basket and sit back quietly in the floor drinking their wine.

"What do you want to talk first?" Cal asked her.

"Sure you got a good reason to get in jail!" She answered him promptly.

"You're right. Well… Remember this morning when Loker and I left the Group?"

She nodded.

"The FBI called me this morning when we were together and I leave in a hurry and left you a note." He sighs at her disbelieving face.

"I thought I'd been crystal clear about our involvement with the FBI Cal. It's over!" She point frantically.

He moved closer to her and held her hand. "I know Gill, but Ben needed me and you know I couldn't possible say no to him."

"Ben?" She asked confused.

"Yeah, he needed me to watch some footage that he couldn't bring to us. So I took Loker and we did what he wanted. But when we're going out the building some other detectives catch me before I could say anything."

"And why did you call me to bail you out? Why didn't Ben help you on that? What about Loker? Did you leave him in jail?" She asked so many questions that Cal was a bit confused.

"Calm yourself woman! I couldn't possible implicate Ben on that. He was moving on his own in this case and that would mean I would screw him with the FBI. And Loker is fine he managed to run before the detective could catch him. He's such a sprinter."

"We need to call him! Ask if everything's right!" Gillian worried.

"No need, I've send him a text and his fine. Probably with Torres you know?"

"Yeah, they're together. She said something about it this evening, it was about time!"

"That remembers me about someone else!"

"Who's?"

"It was about time for us too!" Cal smirked and kissed her hair tenderly.

"About that… We definitely need to talk!" Gillian said while lifting her head to face him. Cal sipped his wine again and looked at her in wonder.

"Sure. But, can I have a kiss first?" Gillian rolls her eyes making clear before they had the talk won't be any kissing.

"No, we need to talk! Please!" She was begging, Gillian was begging him to have the talk. And he loves when she begged him. Last nigh she begged him to be inside her, she begged him to kiss her and she begged him to be hers. A pleasure smile ghosted over his face.

Then Gillian spoke stirring him from those beautiful thoughts. "Last night you told me that this morning we will regret it. Did you regret what we did, Cal?" She was asking him innocently and those eyes are just pure delight. Oh, those eyes.

"Are you joking? I'll do it again right now and right here! If you let me…" He moved closer smelling her neck and whispering in her ear about how he felt about doing it right now. She put a hand between them and pulled them apart again.

"Cal." Her voice barely a whisper, her pupils dilated, Cal was changing her ideas. But before anything else they needed to talk.

"Gillian… I love you!" Cal said surprising her. She wasn't expecting a confession like this so sooner. And it only takes that to break the last strings in her heart. She kissed him impatiently and moved to his lap remembering last night sensations. The ways they've made love last night. His hazel eyes, his tender touch, and his lips in her body. She shivers just with the thought of it. She needed him, right now.

"Aren't we talking? Not that I'm complaining …" Cal attempted. She kissed him again and whispered in his ear about the ways she needed him. Cal was in complete ecstasy.

"Cal, I love you too! I've always loved you and I will always love you…" She whispers again in his ear "Forever!"

He studies her face, and he could see it. All her love, she really cares for him in a deeper way that he never thought she would. He pines her down to the floor and stays on top. He kisses her with all the passion inside him and she moans while pleasure waves in her body like electricity.
