Summery: Song fic, Taylor Swift, I'd Lie, Calleigh is in love with Horatio and he dosen't see it. (really? how dense can you be with Cal around! ) ) She knows everything about him, and figures that for someone so observent 99 of the time, she can't see why he dosen't see it. She hopes that he is wrong about love...
Disclaimer: I do not own CSI Miami, in any way ( If I did there would be a whole lot of littles CSI babies running around, Tim wouldn't be dead (sniffle), Horatio and Calleigh would be married, and Maxine and Natalia would be married! (thats Valera and Boa Vista, for you people that don't know their first names, don't worry, it took me like a year after Maxine started on the show to figure out her first name, thank you Boa Vista!) I do not own Taylor Swifts songs in any way either. This song is hers in everyway.
Calleigh stood at the Hummer and the man driving it. She smiled and climbed in.
"Hey H, how was your night?" She knew he had just pulled a double.
"A triple homicide Calleigh, it was ridiculous! A drunk man walked into the wrong house and," She drowned out the rest of his explination and stared in to his eyes. They were such wonderful colors. She started mentally counting.
1, 2, 3, 4. Four different colors in Horatios eyes.
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
Calleigh heaved her evidence into the back of the Hummer and walked around to the front. She swung herself up and the bar and strapped in.
"God! Calleigh, I will never find what those couple have. I swear I will never fall in love!" He said grimly, running his fingers through his short, red, hair. Calleigh looked at him and giggled a bit, inside she was screaming. She leaned forward and pushed a CD in. STYX's song, Babe, filled the HumVee.
He looked at her with a stern look. "How'd you know I like that song Cal?" She looked at him, pretending to suprised.
"You like this song?" She said inocently. Inside she smiled as his deep, bass, voice fell into place with Dennis DeYoung. She knew every song that Horatio liked. And she loved to hear his sing and these were the only songs he would sing along to. She smiled again. She picked up at a spot she knew, and together they sang STYX songs all the way back to the lab.
I'll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
And I know all his favorite songs
Eric walked up to Calleigh, "Hey Cal, do you know when H's birthday is? We wanna get him somin," he asked her.
"Yeah, its december seventeenth and get him something green, like a shirt, its his favorite color. Nothing blue, he hates it, his fathers eyes were that color." She said swiftly. She turned and walked away, blonde hair flowing behind, Eric just looked dumbfoundedly after her.
She walked past DNA, where Horatio was getting into a heated argument with Valera and Tim. One of his favorite ast times was arguing with his techs, to kepp them on their toes. Yelina walked by. 'His beautiful sister in law,' She thought bitterly .
Alexx walked up to the daydreaming blonde. "Eric told me that you were the teams Horatio expert?" Calleigh looked at Alexx and laughed.
"No, I am no expert, Horatio is just a friend." She said, "Just a friend," She muttered, a little too sadly for Alexx not to catch. She looked longingly back at Horatio, who was now reading results from a peice of paper Tim handed him.
"Baby, do you," She thought for a moment, for some indication of what she was about to ask, there were plenty of times she should have noticed before. "Do you love Horatio?" Calleigh looked at her like she sprouted a second head.
"No." Calleigh said simply and walked away
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie
Horatio stood at the head of Calleighs table and looked around the room. Raw adoration shone in everyones eyes, but Calleighs, all that could be seen in her eyes was pure, unadulterated love. It was that plain, even Frank noticed it, but not Horatio.
She stood up and started filling everyones champane Flute. They smiled at her and raised their glasses slightly. It was December seventeenth, Horatio forty fifth birthday and evryone had gathered at Calleighs to celebrate.
After diner, Horatio excused himself and went to sit in the guest room for a few minutes. He said he wanted to be alone, Calleigh gave him a few minutes and followed.
What she saw amazed her, Horatio Caine was sitting in her bedroom (Something in itself she never thought she'd see), crying. Silent tearspoured down his face.
"Oh my god, Horatio, c'mere." She pulled him into her arms, and he wept into her chest.
"Nobody has ever done this much for me Calleigh. Thank you." He wiped his eyes and kissed her on the cheek. She blushed bright red.
"No problem boss man." He turned around.
"Do me a favor?" She nodded. " Don't, don't tell the guys I was crying. I think it would shock them, they are so used to Lieutenent Caine, none of them really know Horatio Caine, except for maybe you and Alexx." She smiled.
"No problem Horatio." once he left the room, she burst out in tears. Caine had never been that straight forward with her. She liked it.
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long
And he sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine
Calleigh walked into work the next day and smiled. Horatio walked up to her with a flower, he put it behind her ear and smiled at her. He walked away without a word.
'I wish I could tell him how I felt, that would make my life everything.' She thought, thing was, she was afraid she would lose her best friend.
He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you
Calleigh dropped her keys on the table. He still wouldn't tell the team he could play, they could use him at the company picnic, but he couldn't bring himslef to tell them that the well bred Yankee in him could play guitar. She smiled. He cracked a case that say, saw right through this guys alibi, but he couldn't see through her heart.
She woke up the net day, hopped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, she was late so she threw on her make-up and prayed Horatio wouldn't notice how bad she looked.
He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle
Horatio walked up to Calleigh, and kissed her cheek, something he was doing quite fequently, not that she complained. He ooked her in her eyes, "Would you," he cleared his throat, "Would you like to have diner with me tonight?" He asked her. She nodded furiously, not trusting her voice, he smiled and walked out.
She jumped up and down inside the autopsy theatre. Alexx snuck up behind her and poked her sides. She screamed and jumped again.
"I see that stupid grin, did Horatio just aske you on a date?" Alexx asked slyly. Calleighs smild broadend.
"Is it that obvious?" She drawled. Alexx nodded.
"Do you love him Calleigh?" Alexx asked her friend for the second time in as many weeks.
And if you asked me if I loved him...
"No, I don't Alexx." Calleigh said queitly, turning and walking out to her car.
I'd lie
