Sorry about the wait! Most of this story is done now and there's smut coming within the next 2 or 3 chapters for sure! Bare with me please, i'm trying!


"Hello, are you guys the couple staying in room 342?" He asked them.

"Yes we are sir." Calleigh answered with her sweet southern accent and a smile.

"Okay, I'll be driving you guys to your room. Is this your luggage?"

"Yes, all of this is our luggage." Calleigh answered again. Eric was noticing the flirty tone between Calleigh and this Danny kid.

"Okay, you guys can have a seat in the car and I'll load up your luggage."

Danny loaded the entire luggage into the small car and began driving them out of the lobby and down the little stone pathway to the resort rooms. Not even 2 minutes later, they arrived at a set of rooms, when Danny killed the engine, and began unloading their luggage for them.

"Your room is actually on the upper floor." Danny told them. Eric and Calleigh both raced up the flight of steps while Danny lugged the bags onto the small elevator. By the time Danny got up to the room, Eric and Calleigh were already exploring the room.

"Oh my God, Eric this room is gorgeous, it has a kitchenette, and look at the cute furniture in the living room, and we have a balcony!" Calleigh went on and on and on and Eric stood there laughing at how excited she was.

"Eric, where are the beds at?"

"I don't know Calleigh; I thought you'd point it out while you were making your list of things in here." He said laughing.

"Oh whatever Eric, just help me find them."

"What if we don't have beds Calleigh?" Eric said teasing with her.

"Yeah right Eric, I doubt Horatio would book us a room without a beds Eric."

"Maybe he thinks that if we got a bed we'd have sex in it. And you know that policy about relationships in the lab Cal."

"Eric…who needs a bed for sex? You could do me in the shower or, on that little kitchen table or, the couch or the floor, we could even fuck on the beach." Calleigh said nonchalantly and Eric's jaw dropped, it had been a long time since he heard Calleigh talk like that and the thing that she was talking about involved both of them having sex with each other, all over the place and Eric's mouth watered at the thought of it.

"Hey, what's this?" Eric asked out loud as he came to a door that was slightly open. He pushed it open all the way and reached for a light switch on the wall, when he found it, he flicked it up. He was met with 1 huge bed!

"Calleigh I found our bed." He said with slight laughter in his voice realizing that they would have to sleep in the same bed.

"1 bed Eric?"

"Yes Calleigh. Problem?"

"No problem at all. This bed is big enough for the both of us." Calleigh acted like it wasn't a big deal but deep down inside she wasn't sure if she'd be able to control herself sleeping in the same bed as Eric.

"I know and it looks so comfortable Cal and look the bell boy put our bags right over there like he said he would."

"So Eric? How would you like to spend the rest of this lovely day?" Calleigh asked him.

"Well, I figured we should probably go down to the lobby again to see what kind of attractions there are for the rest of the weekend. But if there's nothing going on today I think we should go to the beach, y'know chill for a few hours. Go to dinner and maybe we can hit that little club that I saw later. But only if that's what you want to do to Cal."

"Sounds good to me Eric."

"Great, I'll call the front desk to see if there's anything going on tonight?"

"Okay." Calleigh said as she went in her suitcase and began digging some of her outfits out.

"Hello." Eric said.

"Hi." She answered back

"Hi... it's Meredith right?"

"Yes, is this Mr. Delko?" She asked flirtation obvious in her voice

"It sure is and you don't have to call me Mr. Delko. Eric is fine." He assured her.

"Is something wrong with your room Eric?" She giggled emphasizing the Eric part.

"No not at all everything is perfect. I was calling to see if there were any excursions for Calleigh and me to go on tonight, even though it's short notice."

"Um yeah let me check on a few things." She said and gave him a few short moments of silence.

"Okay Eric, are you still there?"

"Yes I'm here." He chuckled and Calleigh rolled her eyes from her suitcase.

"Okay well we have a tour bus leaving at 2:15 for a tour of the island. Would you be interested?"

"Um, can you hold on for a minute let me ask Cal?"

"Okay."

"Calleigh!" He called. Calleigh decided she didn't want to hear Eric flirting with Meredith anymore so she went into the "living room".

"Yeah?"

"Meredith says there's a tour of the islands at 2:15. What do you think?"

"Let's do it Eric!"

"Okay, Meredith?" He turned his attention back to the phone.

"Yeah?"

"We'll go. What's the cost?"

"The cost is $80 per person, and the tour will last for about 2 ½ hours, you guys should be in the lobby by 2:10 at the latest." Meredith explained.

"Okay, that sounds great Meredith, thank you."

"No problem Eric."

"See ya."

"Bye." Eric said hanging up the phone.

"So Can we go?" Calleigh asked him.

"Definitely Cal, it's $80 per person and we have to be in the lobby around 2 and it's not even 12:30 yet. So I think I'm gunna shower and change my clothes."

"Do you think I should change too?"

"No, I really like your dress Cal!"

"Are you sure?" She said examining herself in the mirror.

"Calleigh, you look beautiful."

"Thanks." She said as she blushed from his compliment.

"Okay, but I'm putting on some heels, and I'd like to flatten my hair a little more, the humidity is killing me."

"That's Calleigh for you, always perfection, no matter what it is."

"You wouldn't have it any other way Delko." She said flashing him a bright smile, accent sweet.

"I mean I could Calleigh."

"What does that mean?" She asked, slightly offended and confused as to what he meant.

"I mean that those times that you swear up and down that you're a mess, you're still impossibly perfect in my eyes Cal. I just wish sometimes that'd you be able to let your guard down and let me see that side of you more often…I don't bite you know."

"Eric." She whispered "Just know that I've been working on it for the past couple of months. I've had this guard up for years…decades even and I do think you and only you are worthy of invading that guard."

"I promise I won't hurt you or push you Cal. And don't worry, we won't have that other conversation that we've both been avoiding yet…not today anyway but I won't make any promises about tomorrow."

She smiled up at him, "Okay, that's fine Eric. I really want us to talk about that…and soon too, but not today soon like you said."

"Alright Calleigh. I think I'll go take that shower now, so we're not late for our tour."

"Don't be a hog Eric, I still need to do my hair remember."

"I'll be out in 20 Cal." He called as he shut the bathroom door, 2 minutes later Calleigh heard the shower turn on and decided to take this time to call Natalia and let her know they were settled in, as they had already touched basis with H.

"Nat?" Calleigh greeted Natalia over the phone.

"Hey Calleigh, H told us that you guys made it safely already! How was the plane ride over there?"

"The ride was long, but good! I slept most of the way and the turbulence we hit wasn't as bad as expected, and the parts of the island that we've seen are just gorgeous Natalia. I'm going to send you so many pictures!"

"God I'm so jealous of you right now Calleigh but where's Delko?" Natalia asked being nosey.

"He's in the shower; we're actually getting a tour of the islands at 2 so he's getting ready for that."

"So how is everything?"

"I told you, everything's great!" Calleigh said chuckling at her friends questions but missing the ulterior meaning.

"No…I mean how is everything?" Natalia asked dropping her voice a pitch for Calleigh to understand what she meant.

"Oh Gosh Nat! We're working on it okay!"

"How so?" She asked nosily.

"Well we just got done talking about how I need to tear my walls down for him and we both agreed that we didn't want to get too deep in conversation before our tour, but it's definitely a conversation that we're both more than ready to have."

"Oh my God! You guys are going to profess your love for each other Cal! I'm so happy for you two!"

"Thanks Natalia, but you're happy and technically nothing has even happened yet, and besides I don't think he's in love with me!"

"Oh please Calleigh, have you seen the way that man looks at you? He's totally in love with you…and whether you admit it or not, you're in love with him too and you need to let him know Calleigh. He won't hurt you, all he wants to do is love you Cal, I'm sure of it!"

"Thank you Natalia, that really sounds like music to my ears!"

"You're welcome Cal, and meant everything. So you better make your move Cal!"

"Okay Nat."

"I'll talk to you later babe."

"Alright bye honey!" They hung up the phone and Calleigh went to her suitcase to get the shoes she planned on wearing, and the flat iron she was going to use for her hair. She hoped that everything would go well with Eric and their "conversation".

10 minutes later Eric walked out of the shower wrapped in nothing but a towel on his lower half. Calleigh turned around expecting to see a fully clothed Eric and her breath caught in her throat. Eric's chest was tanned, damp, glistening and chiseled to the maximum.

"He looks SO good!" She thought to herself, as he walked by her nonchalantly as if it were normal for him to be half naked.

"My how I long to rub my hands all over that chest of his." She thought.

"You can use the bathroom now Cal, I'll be dressed by the time you get done in there."

"Um, what? I mean okay!" She stumbled over her words still taken aback by his beautiful body.

Eric just laughed because he knew exactly what she was looking at...


"Hey Eric." Meredith damn near shouted from the other side of the lobby.

"Oh here we go." Calleigh said under her breath just loud enough for Eric to hear.

"C'mon Cal chill!" Eric said to her.

"I am very chill Eric, but you might want to check up on your little friend over there."

"Is Calleigh Duquesne jealous?"

"Hell no I'm not jealous Eric! I'm way cuter then her anyway."

"You've never lied there Calleigh!" Eric said as they approached Meredith and Calleigh smirked knowing that Ms. Meredith was no competition to her.

"Hi Eric."

"Hello Meredith."

"Um hi…it's Kelly right?"

"No it's not, it's Calleigh!"

"Oops, sorry Kayleigh." Meredith said being a smart ass.

"It's okay, Eric's 4 year old niece can't say my name right either, I mean I guess it is pretty hard for a 4 year old to pronounce you know." Calleigh said openly insulting the girl's intelligence.

"So um Meredith where can I pay at?" Delko said breaking the conversation that was headed south between the girls

"Cash or credit?"

"Credit."

"Come up to the front desk with me and we'll take care of it. Kayleigh you can go over to that bus over there and begin signing you and Eric's name in with the tour guide." Meredith said trying to get rid of Calleigh.

"It's Calleigh!" Calleigh yelled at the girl as they turned in opposite directions.

"I don't think your friend likes me too much Eric." Meredith said to him as they approached the desk and she walked behind it.

"Yeah, um don't mind her she's just a tough cookie sometimes Meredith." He said as he swiped the company credit card that Horatio gave him to use for all of their expenses.

"Eric!" Calleigh yelled from across the lobby.

"I'm coming Cal! See ya Meredith!" Eric said jogging off to get on the bus, as Calleigh stepped on right before him.

"Eric can I have the window seat?"

"You can have whatever you like Calleigh!" He said making her blush.

"You know…I have a small beef with you!" Cal said not loud enough for the other passengers to hear.

"What's wrong?" Eric asked puzzled.

She paused for a moment, and cupped his ear with her small hands to whisper in his ear, "Meredith likes you Eric."

"I know, but I like you!" He whispered back and a small smile crept across her face.

"Really?"

"Calleigh, you're delusional if you didn't know that already, come on CSI: Duquesne."

"Guess what though CSI: Delko."

"What?"

"I think I like you too!" She whispered in his ear again and bit her lip after the words escaped.

"I guess we're in business then huh?"

"I guess so." She replied as he casually threw his arm around her shoulder and she snuggled into his embrace, making herself comfortable. Her heart was beating 1000 beats per minute, because everything was happening so fast…well maybe not so fast, but still they were making great progress this week.
