A/N : You guys probably didn't think i'd update this soon...well i did so haha!


The tour took them around the island, around the volcanoes letting them get great pictures. The tour guide gave them a tremendous amount of information involving the history of the people of the islands.

"This is Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation, The biggest one on the island as a matter of fact." Joe the tour guide told them his accent thick but still understandable.

"These coffee beans are distributed all over the world. You guys can get out and take a look if you'd like. The gift shop over there sells it for a pretty good price and it tastes absolutely wonderful, it's a great gift to bring home to coffee lovers." Joe said as he stopped the bus letting everyone get off.

"I bet it doesn't taste better than Café Cubano."

"Oh God Eric, it's coffee and how would you know? It probably tastes pretty similar."

"Nah Cal, this stuff doesn't look like Cubano. Look at it." Eric said as he picked a bean from the ground rolling it around in his hand.

"The consistency isn't right like Cubano."

"Yeah, I'm beginning to think your consistency isn't right." She muttered under her breathe.

"What's that supposed to mean Cal?"

"Oh nothing!" Calleigh said as she sped off in the direction of the gift shop laughing.


"God Cal, I'm starving!" Eric complained.

They were both currently sat on the tour bus on their way back to the resort.

"Me too Eric, we'll eat at 1 of the restaurants at the resort?"

"Do we have to go back to the room first?" Eric asked in a whiney voice.

"Are you that hungry Eric?"

"Yeah Cal, I really am!"

"Well no, there's not anything that I need from the room. So we'll go straight to eat once we get off of the bus!"

"Cool."

15 minutes later, the tour bus pulled up in the resort parking lot and let them off of the bus. Calleigh looked over to the front desk to where Meredith was usually stood, and noticed that she wasn't there anymore.

"Someone's shift must've ended." Calleigh said with a smirk in her voice.

"You're so cute when you're jealous Cal!" Eric laughed.

"For the last time Eric, I'm not jealous!"

"You sure?" He smirked.

"Positive."

"Whatever you say ."

"Um, hey it's Danny right?" Calleigh saw the man that moved their stuff into their room for them.

"Yeah, you need help with anything?"

"Well, I was hoping you could point me in the direction of the buffet?" She said accent sweet, and smile bright.

"You go down past the little convenience store, past the 1st restaurant and it's the 2nd one on your left, the infinity pool is right across from it, you can't miss it."

"Thank you."

"No problem at all." He said smiling after Calleigh.


"You want to go down to the beach when we're finished eating Cal? You know just walk around and stuff, no bathing suits."

"Sure, maybe we can go tomorrow morning and get in the water and stuff."

"That sounds good, we don't have to sign in at the conference until like 5pm for the meet and greet. I wonder how that's going to go."

"I just hope that it's not boring and lectures all day. Horatio said we only had to go on the days that we wanted too anyway."

"Yeah, as long as we go and show our faces and represent the team, I don't think we'll have to stay the entire time if we don't want, but there may be some interesting things for us to learn."

"I know, I wouldn't mind staying if it's new and exciting things we're being informed about."

The rest of the dinner was filled with Eric and Calleigh making small talk about everything, like their vacation, family, work and everything else they could think of.

When they were done, they exited the buffet and began walking down towards the private part of the beach owned by the resort.

"Wow, the water is so gorgeous Eric!" Calleigh said as they approached the water and she took her shoes off loving the feeling of the warm sand between her toes.

"It sure is." Eric said monotone, and Calleigh blushed as she realized he was looking at her and not the water.

"Calleigh, I know we said we'd wait to talk about things, but I don't…I can't wait any longer Cal. So can we do this now?"

"It'd be rude if I said no…so you can start." Calleigh said her heart was beating rapidly, anticipating the upcoming conversation and she didn't even know what she wanted to say to him.

Eric took a deep breathe because he now was his moment, "Calleigh, you've been my best friend, my partner, my confidant for 11 years and somewhere along the way I got lost and before I knew it, you weren't just all those things anymore…you were so much more to me. I began losing myself Calleigh…and then I found myself in you. I love you Calleigh, and no I don't just love you, I'm in love with you Calleigh Duquesne and I'm done hiding it from you, I need you to know how I feel about you and I want you to be honest with me and yourself Cal, and tell me how you feel about me too."

"Eric." She breathed softly, and looked up at his eyes, as she had tears glistening in hers. "I'm in love with you too Eric, and I've known it all along and I've been denying it but…I don't want to hide it anymore either Eric, I want to feel the love you have for me as I give you the love I have for you Eric." He reached up and wiped her tears from her cheeks.

"You know, you don't have to cry anymore Calleigh….not alone, not without me!"

"I know, because I have you here now right?" Calleigh smiled.

"I've been here all along, it just took some time for you to realize."

"Better late than never right?"

"You got it babe." He said and Calleigh's heart leapt out of her chest at the sound of Eric Ricardo Delko calling her babe. She clasped her hands around his neck and stood on her tippy toes pecking him delicately on the lips. It was the best kiss he had ever received it was so tender but full of meaning and purpose.

Without thinking, they did it again, almost as soft as the 1st time, but this time there was no letting go. Neither one could contain the joy that bubbled on the inside of them.

Eric was stood facing the water, with Calleigh standing right in front of him, her back to his chest and their arms and fingers intertwined. His chin was softly resting on her neck.

"This feels surreal."

"I know, I'm so glad this has finally happened Cal."

"Me too Eric, it was well overdue."

"I know querida." He said and pressed a line of soft kisses from her exposed shoulder to her neck.

She let a soft moan escape, soft enough for Eric to almost miss. Eric untwined their fingers and brought his strong hands to Calleigh's shoulders and he began to massage them, applying enough pressure to begin working some of the kinks out in her shoulders.

"God that feels great Eric." She whispered and he began peppering kisses along her shoulder line.

Calleigh was getting very aroused from the sensations he was giving her, it was so much at once. His kisses felt like they were melting onto her skin, and his hands made her feel like he was a pro at was he doing. Her legs were becoming weaker and weaker; hell her entire body was becoming weaker. She was in Hawaii with Eric Delko standing behind her massaging her shoulders and kissing her neck, and to make matters better or worse, depending on how you look at it, they had to go back to the same room and sleep in the same bed. Calleigh knew exactly how the night would end and she had not one problem with it.

"Would you like to go back to the room now Cal?"

"Yes please." She replied, and they began walking hand in hand from the private beach to their room at the resort.

"Was my massage really beginning to feel that good?"

"God yes Eric! I haven't had a massage that good since I spent $300 for one."

"Listen I have to get something from the convenience store Calleigh."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"No you won't, you'll go home and lay your pajamas out, but don't get in them until I get there."

"Why?" Calleigh asked squinting her eyes, wanting to know what he was up to.

"Don't worry about it. Do you trust me babe?"

"With every fiber of my being."

"You know I'd never hurt you right?"

"Yes my love."

"Good, now just get to the room and do what I said Calleigh."

"Okay." She said she leaned up and gave him a quick hard kiss. "Don't take too long, I might get lonely." She said in a seductive tone as she turned and began walking in the direction of their room.

"That fucking girl will be the death of me!" He said under his breath as he walked in the store.
