In The Heat Of Miami

Chapter 7: When you're not trying too

Horatio put down his cell phone on his desk as he picks up a few papers that were laying there from the night shift from the cases over the weekend.

He reaches into his coat jacket that was hanging on the back of his chair for his pen. As he picked his pen a peice of paper slips from his hand, he reaches down on the floor and picks it up.

The peice of paper is folded with no name written on front. Horatio looks around to see if there was anyone near by and opens it.

It reads "horatio,my place 8:30 tonight,love Calliegh" he looks around once more and puts in is pocket smiling. He was hoping no one had seen her do that.

A thought crossed his mind on what the conversation they had had the morning after.

-Horatio's flashback-

The sun was shining and horatio got up from the table and walked over to the patio door. The breeze came through as the door opened sending the red silk robe he had on blowing. He pulled the rope a little bit tighter.

"come on lets go sit outside" he waved Calliegh over taking their coffee mugs. as horatio walked across the patio, the light breeze took his robe blowing showing what was underneath, Calliegh smiled. She could see his white legs a bit of his white bum stuck in his dark blue briefs.

They both sat down on the bench enjoying the sun. Horatio covered himself with the robe , Calliegh sat down close to him handing back his coffee.

"So I was wondering to ask you about last night" Calliegh asked trailing her fingers down the front of his chest.

"what about it?" he responded holding one of her hands.

"i didn't say anything that i should regret did i?" she asked him.

"what do you think you said" he said with a grin on his face.

"well i don't know, something i wouldn't usually would say to you or anyone else"

"you said" he started to say but trailed off and became silent.

"what?" she asked looking up at him.

"you said everything i needed to hear sweetheart" he grinned kissing the top of her head.

"thanks for coming out to get me, if i would have called eric or ryan they would have never let me live it down" she said with a giggle thinking about the things they would tease her about.

"you know you can always count on me honey, i'll always have your back" he whispered to her.
