Chapter 10: The Right Girl
"Come on let's get inside before we're drenched." said Eric opening Calleigh's door, the rain was pouring down by now, with no sign of stopping.
"Wait," said Calleigh holding on to Eric's wrist. "Let's just stay out here for a while."
"Cal, it's raining," said Eric confused but understood when Calleigh put a finger to his lips then her hands found their familiar place at his hips, but accompanied by a most unfamiliar seductive smile. "How did I get this lucky?"
"Hmm, what do you mean?" asked Calleigh her head on his chest.
"Well I might be getting soaked but right now I really don't care." said Eric his arms by now wrapped around Calleigh's body. Then lowering his mouth to her ear whispered something in Russian that she couldn't understand.
"Am I allowed to know what you just said?" asked Calleigh wishing she understood but still appreciating how his voice flowed through the words sadly unrecognizable to her.
"Stay here tonight and find out." said Eric kissing her forehead.
"Alright," said Calleigh. "Besides it's time for you to pay up on that rain check."
"I'm looking forward to it". said Eric grinning. "Let's head in."
When they entered his condo Eric instantly became aware that everything was out and very messy. "Sorry about the mess, when I moved back in I never really got things in order."
"Don't worry about it, this is nothing compared to my dad's place." said Calleigh, and it really didn't matter Eric was a guy after all. Living comfortably didn't bother her. While Eric cleared up his living room, Calleigh took the liberty of checking out some of his photos. There were some of when Eric was growing up with girls she guessed were his three sisters. Then she noticed a few of the team, him and Speed and most surprising for Calleigh was a picture of herself and Eric from an evening out when everyone was celebrating Natalia's birthday. Calleigh was brought back to the present when Eric turned on a Life house CD and pulled her close. For a few minutes the danced together in a comfortable silence.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Calleigh breaking though into his thoughts.
"The first time I met you." said Eric his mind still frozen in that day. "You were beautiful then to."
"I'm not sure I remember." said Calleigh in an attempt to recall the day Eric Delko entered he life. "It must've been in the lab."
"It was at the lab, it was with Speed, my first time at the lab after I transferred from under water recovery." said Eric grinning. "After you left I asked him if you were seeing anyone. He told me I wasn't ready for someone who specialized in ballistics."
"And here we are now." said Calleigh. "After being friends for what, over seven years?"
"Seven years, a few near death experiences and many, many ex's later we end up here." said Eric spinning Calleigh around then drawing her in again. "Not to mention me changing quite a bit. Compared to the way I used to be."
"Oh, come on Eric you were umm a."
"Cal, the word you searching for Dog." said Eric with a chuckle. "Let's face it that is what I used to be."
"Well that may be what some people saw, me I could tell something different." said Calleigh running a finger down his jaw line. "I saw the sweet strong guy who does what's right no matter what the cost, the guy I've always trusted with my life."
"I'll tell you what I've seen since day one." said Eric. "An amazing girl, who's tough, smart, beautiful, and, knows her way around a 9mm. Have I told how much I love you?"
"Yes but your more than welcome to continue." said Calleigh thoroughly enjoying the compliments from Eric she couldn't receive at work. "But if you'd prefer to show me instead."
"I like the way you think Calleigh Duquesne." said Eric hoping he wasn't hallucinating because of his gunshot wound again, but something told him this was the real deal.
After Eric turned off, the music the two moved half-walking half-dancing two his bedroom. Eric undoing the buttons of his shirt and Calleigh pulling hers off over her head. After their cloths were discarded and the couple was under a blanket the rush was so strong that it made every dream Eric ever had about making love with Calleigh pale in comparison. To hear moan as his lips grazed her skin was almost too good to be true. While it was true both Eric and Calleigh have had sex with several people this was the first time either one had truly understood the phrase make love, granted they hadn't been in love with anyone else before it was clear to Eric and Calleigh time of hiding and avoiding the subject was over after tonight there was no going back.
"Hey, before what was it you saying?" asked Calleigh her head on Eric's bare chest. "The Russian I mean."
"I was saying I'm here with my right girl, you." said Eric pressing a soft kiss through her hair.
"To bad I don't speak the language," said Calleigh in a seductive voice. "Course it gives you an excuse to flirt with me more."
"This is true." said Eric squeezing her shoulder lightly. "Hey Cal, you happy?"
"Yeah, I'm happy." Said Calleigh smiling.
"Good that means I'm doing this right."
