Conquences: The Trial

Horatio got serious now, "You couldn't find that here, with me? Calleigh, what did I do to push you away like that?" He wiped his mouth with his napkin and set his plate on the small table next to the phone and phone book. He positioned himself so that he was laying down on his side, facing her. His left hand holding up his head, and his right one resting limply in front of him.
 
Stella smiled, "Lindsay, You know I'm here for you anytime you need me"

She grabbed one of her cd cases out of the glove department and handed it to her, "Here take your pick"
 
"You lost my trust. When you didn't show me the phone, you made me think something else was going on. I was so...insecure."

She turned away from him and felt tears start to roll down her cheek.

"I felt so...betrayed. And hurt."
 
She narrows her eyes and mumbles to herself, flicking thrhough it unitl she gasps - Stella has Pink's new album? wow is she crazy. but in a good way. She pulls it out and says "I love Pink. Me and Danny made a joke once that my theme was her song 'stupid girls'" She cracked a smile but it fades away just as quick. Why did she have to mention him?
 
Stella saw the smile on her face and then the saddness and touches her arm, "Lindsay, you'll get him back, Danny's just being Danny right now, Don't worry it'll be fine" and winked at her, "I'll make sure of it"
 
Lindsay cocks her head slightly and smiles a little through the sadness.

"I guess you're right, Stell. How come you have one of my favorite CD's in your album?" She asks as she slips it in the player.
 
"Calleigh, if I ever don't share something, it's not because I don't want to, it's that I have to figure things out myself first. I needed to ponder what was discussed in the call, and take time to let the weight of my decision settle. I apologize that I hurt you, but I really wish you would trust me. I was hurt when you tried to take my phone, Cal, I didn't, and still don't, understand why you did that. Have I ever made a move before, that you didn't trust? Help me understand where you're coming from Cal," Horatio said softly.
 
"I'm coming from the standpoint of an abused woman. All of my boyfriends before you have cheated on me. It's made me insecure. I just need comfort in the fact of knowing that you aren't cheating on me, but when you wouldn't show me the phone, I swore you were just another number in my list of cheating boyfriends."
 
"Oh, Cal... you know me better than that, at least, I really hope you do. You know that I would never hurt you, or anyone for that matter. Well, except Stetler... I would really like to hurt Stetler," Horatio said with a smirk and a small chuckle. He leaned over and gently kissed his beautiful angel softly on the lips.
 
Stella laughed and shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows, I'm just glad I finally got a bigger cd case to hold them all, Usually I find a CD, get it, and most of the time Flack steals them"
 
He mouth drops open in mock horror, figures Flack would do something like that.

"That cheeky little bugger, oh my god Stella....We should steal something of his to get even. Or at least raid his desk to see what we can find..." She grins mischeiously at Stella and wriggles her eyebrows.
 
She pulled away.

"Horatio. I'm doing the best I can to trust you, but you have to understand how I feel. I need some closure on this. I would love to be with you forever, but I need total honesty from you. Who knows? Maybe I can help you with this problem you seem to be having with whomever the phone call was from. But for me to trust you..."

She grabs his chin and forces him to look into her eyes.

"You have to trust me."
 
Stella smirked, "I really think thats a good idea Linds, He's been stealing my stuff for years, Little meanass, I say we steal something out of his desk, something he loves, oh, that little black notepad he carries all the time, I say we take it"
 
"You are evil Stella. You know he loves that thing."

Lindsay laughs a little, her mood easily lifting with thoughts of torturing flack like this.

"That book is like his baby, my god he'll be mopy unitl we give it back....if we give it back at all"
 
"Calleigh, dear, I do trust you, with all of my heart and with every fiber of my being. It's just difficult for me to discuss things that I don't know all of the answers to. The person on the phone was Eric Delko," he paused. Calleigh gasped upon hearing the name. Horatio continued, "He asked me if I would provide a cover for him if he and Alyssa went to Italy and in return, he would never get in touch with either of us again. I agreed. I didn't want to see you hurt again. I love you. Please, tell me I did the right thing."
