…..
Eric drove back home and both him and Calleigh entered Calleigh's house where Natalia, Maxine and Tim were watching a movie.
"Hey there, what do you got in the bags?" Valera greeted.
"Empanadas." Eric answered showing it to her.
"Hi, what are you watching?" Calleigh questioned putting her coat on the table.
"Chucky." Speed said putting a mouthful of popcorns in his mouth.
"Really?"
"Yes Calleigh, really." Natalia rolled her eyes
The blond chuckled sitting and opening the bag of empanadas.
"You may eat as many as you want to."
"Thank you" Speedle said fishing one from the bag.
"So, how was dinner?"
"Cool."
"Yeah, mum keeps saying that we shouldn't ride the bike."
"God, she has being saying that for almost a year now."
"I know."
"Who else was there?"
"Marisol, Isabella, Rosalina and my dad."
"Hum, how's the devil?"
"She's great, wants Cal to teach her some moves on football."
"I bet your sister said no."
"At least 5 times."
"That's just like her."
"Yeah, apparently Mari and mum are trying to make her go to the cheerleading team, if you call that a team."
"You don't."
"Whatever."
"Isn't she like 13?" Natalia asked confused.
"Yes."
"And isn't cheerleading a high school thing?"
"And college, but apparently in her school there is a football team so, to girls not to feel excluded they made a cheerleading group too, it's nothing serious, mostly dancing."
"I bet she hates it."
"Yep, she thinks those girls are slutty because all they want is to show off to boys."
"She actually said those words?" Valera asked taking a sip of beer.
"Not slutty."
"Oh."
"Anyway, she's in the soccer team and she has a game on Saturday and mum's making a lunch for everyone so she wanted us to go and then watch the game."
"We have practice on Saturday."
"I know, the game's at two and practice at four so we have time to go watch the game and go to the practice."
"Hum, o.k."
"Speaking of which, how did the practice go?"
"o.k., Marty had some problems accepting Calleigh on the team at first but then it was just fine."
"Except that Eric did not trained the tackles." Calleigh said smiling widely as she bit an empanada.
"Why not?" Valera teased with a smile.
"They were training on which other."
"Well, that's how a game works."
"Even so."
"shh, I want to hear the movie you know?" Valera frowned waving her hand.
" hey Cal, didn't you have to call you grandmother or something?
"Oh my god, I forgot! She squeaked getting up to grab the phone."
"Grandma?"
"Yep."
"o.k., she's crazy."
"Oh yeah."
"I can here you four."
"Ups."
"Hi seanmháthair."
"Hi what?" Valera mouthed getting three shrugs back.

Yes, everything's fine… your parents asked where you were again…they did?...yes I din't told them…thank you…anytime sweetheart, so, you had dinner with Eric's family didn't you?...yes, it was great, they're all very nice… they didn't ask where your parents were?...no…o.k., sorry to talk about it, I know you don't like to…it's o.k… if you need to talk call me o.k.?...sure…so, that boy has gotten you in be yet?... no!... really? Not once?... no! please stop now… you never had sex? I don't buy it… we didn't had sex o.k.?!
Eric blushed deeply as the others started to laugh making Calleigh look at them blushing too.
Do you like him or not?...Yes… then what's the problem? Is it him?...it's not like that… whatever you say seetheart… o.k., how's opa?... great, he says he misses you… I miss him too… we both miss you Calleigh bean… I know, I'll try to go there on aster…No, you have to save money to you, we'll go there… No, don't worry, I'll go…No, I don't want you mum or dad to lay an eye on you, we'll go there and that's it… seanmháthair… don't even start, Vern says the same thing so you'll have us there visiting you at the easter o.k.?... like if I could say no… that's right you can't, now go to bed, it's late… it's not even eleven!...did you drank coffee?... no, I didn't drink any coffee, why do you ask that?...You look a bit too excited, that's all…I do not…it's the phone then… probably…well, me and your opa are going to bed, so good bye, I'll call you tomorrow…o.k., bye, love you... love you to; oh, and Calleigh, get Eric laid…Bye!
Calleigh turned off the phone smiling as she shook her head, hat woman had no remedy.
"So?"
"So what?"
"What's with you and Eric never having sex?"
"Nothing! Drop it!"
"Oh no, Eric who gets every girl laid in the third date is dating you for a month and nothing happened…"
"Valera that's enough." Eric spat.
"What?"
She looked at Calleigh noticing her biting her lip.
"Sorry."
"Drop it o.k." Eric pressed.
"Got it." Maxine muttered.
Calleigh walked to her room with Eric following her closing the door and laying besides her in the bed, feet hanging and looking to the ceiling.
"Cal?"
"Is that true? What Maxine said?"
"n-yes, it is." Eric admitted looking to the opposite side of the room.
"So why haven't you done it with me?"
"Because I love you, really love you."
"And you didn't loved those other girls?"
"A couple ones yes, maybe."
"You know Eric, I hate boys who are with a girl just to get her laid, boys who play with a girl's feelings and then just dump them, like a toy."
"Cal…"
"No, listen. I got a name for those boys, and it's pig, but I won't call you that, because I'm sure you'll explain it to me in a way that that word won't suit you."
"I'm not like that. I had sex with them, yes."
"But?"
"I never dumped them, if they wanted to dump me then they would, but I never did."
"It's still playing with people's feelings."
"No, because we never got to know which other, and the girls that came with me, they knew what they were doing, and trust me, none of them wanted anything but get me laid and add me to the list of boys who had done it with her."
"Eric…"
"I was the one who had a crush for some of those girls, I was playing with my own feelings, not theirs."
"Why don't you have sex with me?"
"I told you, I love you, and as much as I know, you love me too. I don't want to take a step where there's no turning back that easily. Not with you, I don't want to hurt you, if this goes wrong, then I'm happy o know that we never did something we could regret."
"So, if we did have sex, and we did break up, you would regret it?"
"It depends on how good you are in bed." Eric teased rolling over Calleigh who gasped lightly.
"I don't know, you would have to tell me."
"I bet you're great." Eric whispered at her hear feeling her shiver underneath his body.
"I bet you're not that bad yourself."
"Want to go to my house and try it out?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to take a step where there's no turning back that easily." Calleigh teased smiling.
Eric chuckled getting up.
"C'mon, let's go."
"No, I want to stay here."
"Alone?"
"What, you won't stay with me?"
"Sure, if you want to."
"I do."
Calleigh pulled Eric down and snuggled into him with a smile and a sigh.
"What did you said, when you called your grandma?"
"Seanmháthair?"
"Yes."
"It 's Irish to grandma, she's Irish so she thought me a few things." Calleigh explained as Eric traced pardons in her back.
"Hum. What else did she taught you?"
"Seanathair, it's grandpa, beannacht, it's bye, dia duit, hello, and grá agat, it's I love you."
"Do you?"
"What?"
"Love me?"
"Yes, grá agat."
"Grá agat?" Eric tried stumbling a bit in the foreign words.
"Yes."
"How do you say good night?"
"Goodnight."
"In Irish Cal." Eric said rolling his eyes.
"Goodnight." Calleigh repeated smiling.
He looked at her squinting.
"You're kidding."
"No, you can also say oíche mhaith." Calleigh added her smile growing.
"Tell me, how is she?"
"My grandma?"
"Yes."
"Sweet, she's about my high, thing, red hair, wrinkles, she's obstinate, always wins an argument so we gave up on trying too much."
"Is she more stubborn than you?"
"Sometimes. She wise, she won't argue for a stupid thing. She's a great cooker, she taught me actually…"
…
Natalia turned off the T.V as Speedle and Maxine got ready to leave.
"Are those two still in the room?"
"Yes."
"What are they doing there?"
"Well, they sure aren't doing any noise."
"Should we get in?"
"I don't know."
"Well, you're the girls, get in."
"What, why?!"
"What if Calleigh is naked?!"
"What if Eric is naked?!"
"He's a boy, he won't mind."
"We will!"
"Yeah!"
"Ugh, fine, close your eyes then."
"You own us!"
"Sure sure."
Natalia knocked at the door and at the lack of an answer she and Maxine go in the room eyes closed.
"Calleigh, are you naked?"
"I don't think they heard you."
"You don't say."
"Should we open our eyes?"
"No."
"Eric, Calleigh whatever you're doing get dressed and answer!" Valera shouted making Natalia jump.
"Maxine!"
In the bed Calleigh frowned lightly in her sleep, moving closer to her boyfriend who was curled with his legs tangled with Calleigh's.
"I think that it's safe to open our eyes now."
"You think?"
"Yeah."
"o.k."
The girls opened their eyes slowly smiling when they saw the scene before them.
"Get a camera." Natalia whispered to a Maxine that already had her cell phone ready to take a picture.
They chuckled as the flash enlightens the room making Calleigh mutter something.
"Light sleeper this one."
"What in the world are you doing?" Speed questioned peeking in the room.
"They're asleep."
"Naked?"
"No."
"The boy got in shaking his head in disbelief."
"You thought of waking them up?"
"No."
"Well, then do it."
"Why?"
"Yeah, they look super cute."
"Won't be when they oversleep tomorrow and Calleigh freaks because she got late to school."
"They won't oversleep."
"Yeah, sure they won't."
"Calleigh wakes up at six a.m. every morning, no alarm clocks needed."
"At six? The classes only start at 9."
"I know, she wakes up, get's dressed, takes breakfast, goes for a run until seven and an half, takes a bath, dresses for school, chec's her homework, god knows why, and eats again."
"Why does she run?"
"She says it clears her mind, and, at the same time, keeps her healthy, and then it's easier to run at gym class or in the football games because she's used to do it already."
"Hum."
"I have to start going with her." Maxine muttered with a dreamy look.
"I thought Eric ran too."
"He does, at five and an half, because he has swimming practice at seven and everything.
"Hum.
"But he needs the alarm, the world could burst in a third world war and he still wouldn't wake up."
"Would you shut up? I'm trying t sleep here." Calleigh complained raising her body a little bit.
"Oh, sorry.
They saw the teen's face blush as she looked at the camera in Valera's hands and Eric laying next to her, or better saying, curled in her.
"You didn't."
"What?" Maxine asked innocently moving the camera away of Calleigh's sight.
"Get me that camera!"
"Shh, Eric's asleep."
"Give me that camera." Calleigh repeated in a low but equally deathly voice.
"No, I'll give you a copy of the picture."
"Maxine, give me that!"
"Cal?" Eric muttered waking up.
"Go back to sleep, this is all just a dream. Valera said waving her hands in circles making four pairs of eyes laying in her."
"Are you o.k. Maxine?"
"What, it works in my cousin."
"How old is she?"
"3."
It happens that I'm 14 years older than her. Eric complained laying again putting the pillow over his head only to shoot up alarmed a second later.
"Wait, what are you doing here?!"
"They took us a picture."
"Give us that!"
"No, we'll get you a copy, bye."
Maxine left before they could even react.
"If she shows that to someone I'll kill her." Eric warned.
"Go back to sleep, you looked cute." Natalia teased making Calleigh roll her eyes.
"Get out of here! Why are you even still here!" Eric shouted at them.
"Hum, you got to go home Eric." Speedle remembered like if he was talking to a kid.
"No I don't, now go, shoo." Eric replied laying again.
"Are you going to stay here then?" Speed asked sighing.
"Yes, go, we want to sleep." Calleigh supported waving them away.
"Okayyy, you two are crazy."
Tim just shrugged going home.
"Good night."
"Yeah, good night, now go."
"Geeze, I'm going."
