----------(The Next Day)----------

"SO THAT WAS ERIC?!" Exclaimed Cerise eagerly.

"Yes Cerise that was Eric." Ryan said rolling his eyes.

"Es Lindo Lindo Lindo!" The Puerto Rican artisan said again Ryan rolling his eyes to his friend. "Yes yes I get it he's a hunk. He also wanted to have some coffee with me today also."

"He did?"

"Uh yea. Why is that a problem?"

"No but I was kind of spying on you two before I came up and well..."

"Well What?"

"He looked like he was checking you out."

Ryan looked at Cerise and blushed hard. Eric was checking him out? No that can't be. Eric was the guy that went out clubbing and grabbed a Cutie for the night. Eric was the man whore with a heart; considering that he works in CSI. Eric was the one looking for the love of his life and that love was Calliegh. No way was that Ryan. Right?

Eric was bored out of his mind at the lab. Nothing better to do then just file some stuff over the case they just finished. Calliegh walked over to Eric and sighed. "Wolfe is a lucky bastard."

Eric couldn't help but smile slightly to the remark. "Well I guess he deserves it with all the bull that we throw at him."

Calliegh just stared at Eric surprised. "Are you actually being nice about Wolfe?"

"Yep. We're cool." Eric continues to type at the computer in front of him.

"Yeesh the world is coming to an end as we know it....2012 here we come."

Eric rolled his eyes to the remark; the world isn't going to end. Just a bunch of bull.

"I wonder what that lucky bastard is doing anyway."

"Ryan told me that he was going to hang out with some friend of his."

"Wow he has a life? Wonder who that guy is."

"Actually it's a girl, her name is Cerise I saw her yesterday when I was with Ryan."

Calliegh looked at Eric and then shrugged it off and then walked away.

Ryan was with Cerise watching her carefully draw a water lily on the water with charcoal. She worked hard all her life to get this good, he loved her art.

"So are you going to hang out with Eric again?" Cerise asked out of the blue which kind caught Ryan off guard.

"Uh I dunno, maybe I mean he hasn't called or texted or anything."

"Well you are."

Ryan just stared as Cerise pulled out Ryan's phone which he thought was in his pocket and saw as her friend pointed out to a text. It read:

'Hey Ryan you still want to hang out? I'm out early and Ur friend can come along too.'

Then he watched as Cerise texted back for him saying 'Sure me nd Cers will meet u up at my place' and hit send. Cerise then grabbed Ryan and dragged him over to his place which was just a two blocks down.

"Why are you doing this to me Cers?"

"Cause I love you Ry, and you need a love life again."

"You're gunna set us up aren't you?"

Cerise just nodded happily and when the door bell rang she went to get it. Eric looked up as the door was opening and saw Cerise grinning at him; the Cuban couldn't help but think 'damn it she got here first...can't hang out with Ryan after work without her now?' Cerise's happy grin turned into a slick smile as soon as Eric got inside. She had an idea and damnit this was going to work! Eric saw that Ryan's place was nothing like his, it was unbelievably clean, were Eric's place was really messy. "RY!" A loud yell came out from the back, of course only Cerise can be that loud. "YOUR LOVER IS HERE!!!!"

"CERISE!!!!" Ryan yelled back, and Eric couldn't help but blush at the joke. As soon as Cerise and Eric were in the living room Cerise ran up the stairs and locked herself in Ryan's bedroom, only because an angry Ryan was chasing her. He headed back down the stairs.

"Sorry about that man....should remember to kill her later."

"It's alright don't worry about it, she come here often?"

"Yeah she comes to my house whenever she wants and I do the same with her. It's easy when we're like 2 blocks away from each other."

"Is it safe for me to come out now?" Cerise asked from the stairs in a little baby voice.

"NO!" Ryan yelled back.

Cerise came out about a half hour later from being bored, the three just watched movies. Of Course Cerise and her love of horror flicks almost gave Ryan a heart attack. Eric laughed every time Ryan would jump seeing the monster, he looked cute. But then in his daydreaming Cerise would pop up and then bug Ryan about something or another. They looked like two kids teasing each other, but Eric saw it another way. Eric saw it more as Cerise trying to get Ryan's attention so hopefully she will get the chance to go out with him. The death glare on his face was quite noticeable.

"So Cerise when are you going to New York again?" Eric asked, trying to hide the jealousy in his voice.

"OH YEA I JUST REMEMBERED! Well Ry baby you know that this artist will forever be one right?"

"Yes I know that Cers now get to the point!"

"Well IM STAYING IN MIAMI! I'm not going to New York any more I got a job working for a cartoon company and I'm going to start making up new ideas!"

"YOU SERIOUS?!?" Both boys exclaimed at the same time. Of Course Ryan was happy to see that his best friend had such a great opportunity. But with the fact that she will be staying from now on just made Eric cringe. And so starts the death glares!
