Authors Note: How to make time pass on a plane and returning to life back in Miami.
Chapter 7.
"Do you have a ride home or a car on the airport?" Julia asked two days later as they were on the plane back.
"Well Eric was supposed to pick me up, but I guess that's out of the question, so I'll just find another way," she answered leaning in to mark her neck a bit better.
Julia moaned softly saying, "Is it a sign that you got in the seat next to me or did you request it?"
"I did request it or else this plane ride would be very boring, I mean over thirty-three hours," said Calleigh sliding a hand between Julia's legs rubbing on the outside of her pants.
"I'm very glad you did and pleeeease don't," she moaned very low, so people wouldn't turn to look at them.
"Why you seem to like it," Calleigh whispered, kissing her lips so another moan wouldn't escape them.
Julia let her hands slide under Calleigh's top to scratch on her back to somehow control herself from screaming out, as Calleigh opened Julia's zipper and let her hand go pass her panties and gently stroke her.
"My, someone is very wet," she whispered, as she panted a little into her ear while sucking on it.
"You're driving me crazy," Julia whispered as she arched a little from the chair.
"Oh am I now," said Calleigh and went just a little bit harder and faster so Julia could get her release.
When Julia had calmed down a few moments later she bent over and said, "Thank you I really needed that."
"You are welcome, take it as payback for what you did to me earlier," Calleigh whispered, as Julia had done the same to her a few hours back.
"Mhm, so wanna watch a couple of movies now?" she asked.
"Yeah, old or new?" Calleigh asked back.
"Classic, do they have pretty woman?" Julia wanted to know.
"Mhm," said Calleigh and put it on, as her hand lay itself to rest on top of Julia's as they started to watch.
"Would you come save me like that?" asked Julia, when the movie was over.
"I would yes, I could even do it on a horse if you like," said Calleigh with a little smile.
"Really you can ride?" Julia asked a bit surprised.
"Thought you learned that I could already," said Calleigh with a slight giggle.
"Funny, I meant on horseback," said Julia rolling her eyes lightly.
"I know what you meant and yes I can, learned that when I was very young," Calleigh answered.
"Do you do it often?" Julia asked.
"Not so much now, every once in a while," said Calleigh honestly.
"I'd love to see that once," said Julia.
"That can be arranged, do you ride?" asked Calleigh.
"Never tried, but always wanted to," said Julia.
"I can always try teaching you how to do it," Calleigh.
Julia nodded and asked, "Did a man ever make you feel like that?"
"In a way yes," said Calleigh looking down, meaning it was in a way off topic.
"Jake?" Julia asked.
"No, not Jake, someone long before him," Calleigh answered, wondering how Julia knew about her and Jake.
"I saw you outside the crime lab once or twice when I came to see Horatio and put the pieces together," she said, when she saw the puzzled look on Calleigh's face.
"Do you know if Horatio knew?" Calleigh asked
"I would think so as he's not stupid, but as it was a matter between you two he would not interfere," she answered.
"And when he finds out about us?" she asked.
"I don't know," Julia answered.
"Are you sure this is a good idea," said Calleigh, as she started to bite her bottom lip.
"No, but it still feels right and will you strop wrecking that beautiful lip of yours," said Julia in a soft tone.
"I'm scared," Calleigh whispered looking down.
"I know sweetheart, but we are in this together," said Julia and kissed her gently before she dragged her closer to let her hide within her.
"Calleigh," Julia whispered as she was shivering hardly.
But there was no answer as the other blonde was fast asleep.
"Calleigh, please," she whispered a bit louder, gently shaking her.
"What's wrong," Calleigh asked as she got out from her soft slumber noticing it was dark in the cabin, so it would most likely be night and everyone was sleeping. For how long she had slept and what time it was she didn't care. What she cared about was Julia that was shivering like a leaf next to her.
"Cold, scared," she whispered.
"Shhh easy, come here," said Calleigh as she unbuttoned the blouse she was wearing and removed her bra to led Julia's hands to her belly and lips to her breast. Julia by instinct started to suck on her nipple and warm her hands on her belly as Calleigh's skin was as always amazingly hot
Calleigh gently stroke her back to calm her more as she let out some soft moans for being sucked at until again falling asleep, as did in the end Julia feeling safe and a little bit warmer than before. She was glad Calleigh never got upset for waking her spite the fact she was a morning person. Although she has learned that she could be up quite long at night as well.
Calleigh woke up later feeling a bit chilly herself so dragged her jacket so it covered her and Julia a little in case the light came on and people should see them.
Julia still had her nipple in her mouth and was gently suckling on it, something Calleigh found very cute and she didn't mind it at all.
And not the fact that she had woken her up earlier either, she was just glad she had managed to calm her down and that she now was sleeping. Calleigh wondered how long they had left, but it was impossible to find out as it was to dark to tell time. She only knew they would land in Miami round ten at night. Meaning it was right to bed as she had to work the next morning no matter how jetlagged she was.
Work. She sighed by the thought of seeing Eric again, that would be hard, not to mention explaining her new jewelry set as he probably would ask her about that and start drawing conclusions. Not that she could blame him as the thing with Julia had happened really sudden.
Then again she didn't exactly planned that. It was probably one of the few things in Calleigh's life she hadn't planned or counted on happening. Not in a million years.
She was however glad that it did as for right now it wasn't anyone she wanted to be with than her Julia.
Her Julia. She thought about it for a second. In a way she was, their matching jewelry was sign of that, yet she was still married to Ron. It might have been willingly at first, but it didn't seem that way now as Julia seemed terrified by the mere mention of his name.
The thing he had done to her face, oh how Calleigh wanted him to pay for that and get her out of Julia's life forever to make her feel sage. But first she had to find him. And to her knowledge there was only one that could possibly do so. Horatio.
She also needed a valid reason for finding him to not have too many questions asked, a reason to wanting to help out Julia. She sighed hoping she could find a good way to ask him to help.
As she continued to think about this her hand was gently caressing Julia's hair, it was so soft, and it was then it occurred to Calleigh that no matter what it took she had to save her princess from the evil man that was haunting her.
Julia looked at Calleigh, she was sleeping peacefully. Her chest that she was still resting on was moving slowly up and down. She didn't know for how long she had been sleeping for or herself for that matter.
She could tell by her breath that she was sleeping deeply. Julia loved sleeping with her, it made her feel so peaceful, like all her troubles drifted away. Like she had nothing to fear and she was completely safe. Safe. That word was something that Julia wasn't used to feeling. Instead she usually felt panic, deep fear and depression.
Yet somehow Calleigh had managed to turn that around and allow her to dream again, dream of a future with her and hope of times of happiness.
Then her smile suddenly faded as she knew for that to happen she would have to get Ron to sign the papers. Something she doubted very much that he would do. And now she was afraid he might harm her darling, when she tried to track him down to get him to do just that. She didn't want any of the parties near each other knowing it could lead to disaster.
"I don't want to loose you not now not ever," she whispered again letting Calleigh's soft nipple slide between her lips suckling on it hard so Calleigh even in her deep sleep moaned. Julia slowly let a hand slide down to feel her wet area and as she suspected it was wet, yet she didn't do anything as she found it wrong when Calleigh was asleep, she just lay herself to rest again suckling on her as that made most sense to her, everything else to her at that moment seemed unimportant so she choose to leave it be.
And as she suckled the other blonde tightened her grip as to shield her from the world making a shiver of joy run down Julia's spine before again drifting off holding onto the one that made her feel safe.
"Your turn," said Calleigh as they were playing a travellers edition of chess.
"I know, but not sure what move to make," said Julia thinking, she felt trapped.
"You're so slow," said Calleigh, rolling her eyes lightly.
"And you have way too much energy right now," said Julia with a tiny smile.
"I cannot help that I am starting to get restless," said Calleigh.
"Starting to, you were that already after one hour," Julia corrected.
"Well it's a long flight al right and I don't like being trapped in a tin can up in the air. I mean there is so much other stuff I could do," she said with a dreamy sigh.
"Like?" Julia asked.
"Well for one I would be able to pleasure you without the risk of getting caught," she said.
"And?" Julia wanted to know.
"Have better food than we have here, go running, sleep in my bed," said Calleigh.
"You don't wanna sleep in mine?" said Julia, a bit surprised.
"You know I do, either bed will do just fine as long as you are in it, but what I meant it's better than to sleep in these chairs," said Calleigh impatient.
"I know sweetheart, but we don't have long left now," said Julia moving her knight.
"I know that, but ohhhh," Calleigh said with a frustrated huff.
"You are worse than a child you know that?" Said Julia, with a tiny giggle.
"So does that mean you're not gonna travel with me again?" Calleigh asked, pretending to be hurt.
"I will, but maybe on a shorter journey the next time," said Julia.
"Awww and here I though you wanted to show me Paris," said Calleigh looking at her with very sad eyes.
"I do and I will I promise," said Julia giving her a reassuring kiss.
"Good, now where were we, ohh my move," said Calleigh excitedly moving a farmer while Julia just shook her head.
In the end Calleigh ended up falling asleep again, probably do to her energy running out and Julia ended up reading one of her gun magazines, probably to try to understand her fascination for them.
She was also wondering how many guns the younger blonde in fact did have, and which ones in case she would ever considering buying one for her.
Julia never particularly liked guns, but she wasn't all against them either, so she of course didn't mind that Calleigh liked them, it was after all a big part of her. And she did really love the tattooed gun on her hip. It was very well done and very sexy. Julia however did suspect she didn't only have it done because she loved guns, but to always have one with her at all points as it made her feel stronger. Not to mention that it drove her crazy if she kissed or caressed it.
Julia smiled a little as the fight attendant announced they were landing. Not that Calleigh even seemed to notice, she was still sleeping, so the older woman bent in to gently nibble a little on her neck before whispering, "Sweetie, you gotto wake up, we're in Miami."
And just like that she was wide awake and overexcited again. In fact she could hardly wait to the remove seat belts sign was turned on. Julia just smiled as she found the overenthusiasm very cute.
It was about two hours later that Julia parked outside Calleigh's house. Calleigh looked at her and said, "Thank you for the ride and everything, so do you want to come inside or…?"
"I should probably go home to unpack," Julia answered.
"I understand," said Calleigh looking down, she really wanted her to come with her.
"I guess I could come with you for a little while," said Julia with a little smile.
"Really you would," said Calleigh.
"Why not," said Julia as she slowly opened the car door and got out.
Calleigh smiled happily until she reached the door, and it suddenly came clear to her that she for the first time Julia would see her place and it was messy after packing before she left.
"Calleigh, what's wrong?" Julia asked as Calleigh were nervously biting her lower lip.
"It's just that right now my house looks really messy because I threw everything up and about before packing, but I don't want you to think that I am always like that, because I'm not," she said looking down.
Julia gently raised her head again saying, "I can imagine that is not so as your hotel room was always in perfect order and if it's any comfort my house looks like a warzone too at the moment."
"That does helps just a little," said Calleigh before bending in to give her a thankful kiss before opening the door to let her in.
It was early the next morning that Calleigh came into work as usual, although she was still a bit tired do to the time difference and the long travel the days before. She smiled a little by seeing Natalia in DNA and poked her head in and said, "Hey."
"Oh my God, you're back," said Natalia and hugged her excitedly.
"Easy and yes I am," said Calleigh with a little giggle.
"So how was it, did you have fun, lots of handsome Greeks?" asked Natalia.
"It was the best vacation I ever had," said Calleigh, with a dreamy sigh as it was true.
"Yeah I can tell as you look fantastic and I must say very nice brandings," said Natalia referring to the hikeys on her neck.
"It's that visible," said Calleigh with a sigh, as she had tried to cover it up with makeup the same morning.
"Just a little yes, so can I assume those were made by the same person that gave you the jewelry you are now wearing?" Natalia asked.
"You can and it was," she answered with a smile.
"So who is he, a Greek or…?" Natalia wanted to know.
Calleigh was just about to answer when Eric came into the room and asked, "Who's who?"
The blonde gave Natalia a warning look and said, "Witness old case we were discussing."
Eric looked at her, she was looking really good, in fact great, something he wouldn't have expected since he dumped her a little over a week prior. Her otherwise milky white skin had gotten a golden tan, her cheeks were rosy red and her eyes were sparkling more than usual.
It was then he saw it the necklace, the earrings and what looked like vague hickeys and put it together as he had heard Natalia's question coming inside.
"Yes Calleigh, please tell us who he is," he said in a very cold tone.
"I don't see why I should tell you that Eric, you did after all break up with me and whom I choose to see or not is up to you," she said.
"So did you meet him before or after the break?" he asked.
"Before I suppose, but if you think I would do anything when I was still with you you are sadly mistaken," she said in a very annoyed tone.
"How can I know that when I wasn't there," he said.
"If you had been, this might nor have happen, but you were not. You just let me go without even trying to come after," she said, her eyes suddenly looked sad.
"You know I couldn't, someone had to work," he answered back.
"No, you could have taken time off if you really wanted to, but sadly I was not important enough for you to do that," she said.
"You know that's not true," he said, knowing she had a valid point.
"It is and you know it, even Jake managed to get time of, why couldn't you?" she whispered, struggling to hold her tears back.
"You know as well as I that it's not that easy," he said.
"You know what Eric, screw you," she said and left the room in a hurry.
Eric looked over to Natalia hoping that she would give him a little sympathy, but she just said, "You brought this one on yourself and now you have to live with it."
Eric sighed, leaving DNA wondering if he didn't have any impact on her at all if she had found someone new that fast.
It was only a few moments later that Calleigh was sitting in firearms trying to catch up when she heard Horatio say, "So you are back."
"Yes," she said as she turned to face him.
"So did you get the rewinding you needed?" he asked with one of his typical smiles.
"I did yes, how has things been around here?" she asked him back.
"Very hectic, people seem to go crazy in this heat," he answered.
"Don't they always," she said with a half-smile.
"Yes," he said, returning it.
"Any chance I can start with these," she asked showing him a pile of cases including bullets and fragments from them.
"Of course, I was going to ask if you would," he said and flashed her another smile.
She giggled saying, "Horatio, do you by any chance know what happened to Ron Saris?"
"Why do you want to know?" he wondered.
"I have some business with him," she answered.
"You have business with Ron Saris," he said a bit surprised.
"Well kind off yes," she said which was true.
Horatio looked at her with wondering eyes as I could not find an answer to what she wanted to him and said, "I am sure I can track him down if it is that important to you, but may I suggest you do not see him alone."
"Horatio with all the respect I know you mean well, but this I have to do on my own, as it's not work related but personal," she said with as sigh.
"I understand, but if I help you, promise me you will be careful and don't do anything stupid," he said.
"I promise," she said looking deeply into his eyes.
"Good, I will let you know when I find him, don't pursue this on your own, leave it to me," he said.
She nodded before saying, "Thank you so much for doing this."
He was on his way out when he turned to her and said, "I like that jewelry set, it suits you."
She blushed shyly and said, "Thank you, it was given to me by something that is very dear to me."
"I assumed as much," he said and gave her a smile before leaving her to her work.
Horatio could not at all get why Calleigh would need to find Ron and what he business with him would be, but as he had agreed on finding him he quickly started at the task.
He slowly started to search for possible leads when it was a knock on his door.
"Come in," he answered without looking up.
"Busy?" he heard Julia's voice from the door.
He looked up at her; all tanned with perfect makeup, wearing a black dress and said, "A little, so you are back."
"Yes came back late last night," she said and smiled at him.
He nodded asking, "So how was your trip?"
"Paris is always great, I really love it there and on Crete the most wonderful thing happened," she answered with a dreamy sigh.
"Let me guess you found a handsome Greek man?" he said and smiled a little.
"Not exactly, but I did meet someone and I think I fell in love with the most wonderful person in the world," she said smiling back at him.
"That's wonderful news, so if not Greek where is he from?" asked Horatio.
"Right here in Miami, well not original," she answered not correcting him in thinking it was a guy.
"Really so you went all the way there to find someone from here," he said a bit surprised.
"Yes, I didn't plan to fall in love at first, it just happened," she said.
"It usually does, so have you seen Kyle yet?" he asked.
"No, but I talked to him and he's coming over for dinner tonight, I can hardly wait to see him, I missed him so much," she said.
"To be honest I think he missed you too, so did you buy him anything?" Horatio asked.
"I did yes, so how has things been while I was gone?" she asked.
"Busy at work, Kyle is actually getting better here and he started an evening class last week," said Horatio.
"Really in what?" she wanted to know.
"Believe it or not firearms, said he want to learn to understand it better," said Horatio with a little smile.
"Really firearms, do you think that is a good idea?" she asked doubting it a little.
"I think so yes, if he wants to have a gun, he should learn how to master it first," he said.
"I suppose," she said thoughtfully.
It was then he saw the necklace she had on and asked, "Is that new?"
"It is, got it from the one I meet over there," she said letting her finger stroke over it.
"It's really beautiful," he nodded.
"It really is, but I have to go, so I will call you later, just wanted you to know that I gotten back al right," she said.
"I'm glad you had a great time and we will talk later yes," he agreed as she left. It was first after she had left he came to think of the necklace she was wearing had a striking resemblance to Calleigh's jewelry and started to wonder if Julia was the reason why Calleigh needed to talk to Ron. But he shook it off, Calleigh and Julia that was just no way.
Feedback always welcome and very much appreciated :o)
