This is CSI Miami HoratioCaine and Calleigh Duquesne fanfiction

I don't own any of the characters I am only borrowing them and running with a story the way I see it happening. This story will be from both Calleigh and Horatio's point of view. I will switch between the two points of views in a chapter. I might also tell a particular part of a chapter in a third person point of view.

Plot: Horatio has just returned from Rio after avenging Marisol's death I always thought we would have seen more of the CSI team visit Horatio to see how he is doing my story will start with Calleigh visiting him at his home the night he returned. This will be a Horatio and Calleigh pairing. Since this is a season 5 fanfiction I am not sure if I will include Jake or not. I don't know what day of the week this would have ended on with Ray Jr being found but for my story it will be a Friday.

Chapter One

Horatio's point of view

I had on my blue and white striped shirt and black pants from the day. It had been a trying few days watching my brother Ray die, avenging Marisol and then having Ray Jr. going missing. I felt that I had been on emotional roller coaster. I had hung up my suit coat and had untucked my dress shirt from my pants as I wanted to go and take a long soaking bath. Suddenly I heard a knock at the door I hoped that this was not a door to door sales man as I was not in the mood. When I opened the door there stood Calleigh she had changed from work and had on black jeans and light blue blouse. In her hands where bags from one of my favorite restaurants she must have brought dinner how did she know where I liked to eat. When she opened her mouth she said "Hi H I wanted to bring some food and see how you are really." I opened the door to my house wider and let her pass me she walked into the kitchen with the food bags and then came back and stood a few inches from me. She was trying to search my eyes to see if she could tell if I wanted a hug or if I needed space as she had done when Speedle had died. She knew I was not one that liked my personal space invaded when it came to people I worked with. Before I could open my mouth to thank her for stopping by and to tell her as I usually tell people that I was ok even if I was not she had me pulled into her arms as tight as two people could hug. I felt my arms come up around her and then I felt the dam break. The tears were coming before I could even try to fight them off she was not judgmental all she did was rub my back up and down. As she was doing this I felt something for this woman though I was crying on her shoulder about my brother and my wife I felt feelings for Calleigh. Not that this surprised me I knew that I had felt attracted to her the first day she was in Miami her spirit as well as her good looks had made my body respond to her but as I got to know her she was an awesome woman and a few times I had considered throwing the rules to the wind and asking her out. But this never happened I had met Marisol and then she had been diagnosed with cancer and asked me to help her have a life and I liked Marisol but I never really forgot Calleigh. Sadly I never did ask her out as I am her boss and I never really got a vibe of her thinking of me as more than a coworker and friend. I felt mad and angry at myself that I could feel these things for someone so soon after the burial of my wife. While I was thinking about these things Calleigh had lead us from where we were standing to the couch and was seated next to me still with her arms around me and mine around her. She was still rubbing my back but gravity was no longer our friend and as she had been rubbing my back up and down my shirt had ridden up and now her fingers were grazing my lower back flesh and it felt good but this was so wrong to feel this. Slowly I moved away from Calleigh what must she think of me she came here to check on me and here I am crying on her shoulder but all the while I was thinking about how my body responded and reacted to her and how mad and angry I was at myself for this betrayal of Marisol. At least Calleigh does not know my thoughts cause that would make for an awkward Monday.

Calleigh's Point of view

I had left work and had seen Horatio and knew that the rest of the team would leave him alone and not check up on him. Also I was aware that he had lost his brother and his wife within a very short time and then had the scare that his nephew might also die. I went to my apartment after work and changed clothes and went over to a restaurant that I had seen Horatio eat from to go containers before and so I ordered a few items that I thought that he would enjoy and then took a final long breathe in and out to steady my nerves and headed to Horatio's house. Knocking on the door I waited for him to answer expecting him to still be in the clothes from work or not at home at all. When he answered the door I noticed that his normal suit coat was missing and that the top 4 buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned I was able to see his neck and a bit of his chest I had to bite back a moan. Horatio had always stirred in me a sense that he was "the man" for me. But sadly he had never shown interest. As I looked at him I could almost in vision running my hands over his milky chest that would be peppered with small red hewed hairs. "Hi H I wanted to bring some food and see how you are really." When he opened the door I walked past him to the kitchen. I needed to get myself under control I was not here to seduce the boss as I had thought about doing so many times in the past. I was here to be a friend considering how much had been thru. I placed the to go bag on his kitchen counter and walked back to where Horatio was standing and found myself searching his eyes trying to decide if I should just hug him to get him to really open up and not just tell me he was fine cause that was what he always did. Taking a bit of a chance that the hug would work better than words I stepped close to him and pulled him close to her hugging him. When at first I did not feel him hugging back I became nervous until I felt his arms encircle me, I remember I always felt safe in his strong arms. Before he had married Eric's sister I had hoped that he would have asked me out. I would have loved waking in his arms. As I took a minute to think about the thoughts I was having I was mad at myself how could I call myself a friend bring food and want to tell Horatio how sorry I am that he lost a brother and a wife and here I am thinking about being with Horatio. I felt him begin to sob and then I realized that my blouse was wet on my shoulder and it dawned on me that he was crying. I knew that his strength would not hold long if he cried so I moved us to the couch and seated us down not letting go of him. I had been running my hand up and down his back as I had been moving us to the couch to try and sooth him. I continued to run my hand up and down his back in hopes that he would feel better and feel like someone cared. As I was only concentrating on rubbing his back I was surprised when I felt flesh under my finger tips. Then I realized that his shirt had ridden up and I was embarrassed I hope that he does not think I did that on propose. I felt him begin to pull away and I did the only thing that I could think to do was to smile at him hoping that it reassured him that I cared about him and felt bad about his losses. When in reality all I wanted to do was to get him naked and make him my lover. Too bad I never told him what I had been thinking all these years maybe then I would be waking in his arms and not alone.
