Well at first I thought you had introduced Yelina so early in the story that I didn't believe for one minute the surprise guest was going to be her.......started to change my mind a bit after the chapter prior to this one but, was still not certain. Really had me fooled here didn't you young lady. OK....I am an H and Yelina fan so I am happy anyway. But, are they going to get it together or not?

I was actually a bit surprised to see Yelina at the door. Glad to see that she and Ray are quickly getting back into the groove of living in Miami so quickly. So, now, Ray is off at a friend's house, and Yelina and H are going to have Chinese for dinner. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Great chapter Sam.
Your friend NV Oracle

“don’t worry, I’ll just add some more hot water. Come in.” Sounds like an invitation............ ;D Sandra only you could think of something like that sandra! ;D okay heres the next chap for you to read! this is where you'll see horatio as you've never seen him before! luv sam x As the evening drew on, Horatio and Yelina had finished their takeaway and had gone through a bottle of wine between them. Horatio poured the last of the second bottle of wine into their glasses. Yelina picked hers up. “I really need to go home soon. I should really be home for when Ray gets back.” Horatio picked up his glass, “if you’re driving, you really shouldn’t drive. You’ve had quite a bit to drink.” “And what do you suppose I do?” “You can stay here, stay in my room.” “Excuse me!” Horatio quickly had to dig himself out of the hole he had started to dig for him self, “I’ll sleep on the couch.” “Hmm, I think that’s a good idea. I’ll just have to make sure I’m back early for Ray.” “That’s not a problem, I have to get up early for work. I’m sure I can find something for you to wear in bed.” Horatio stood up, a little uneasy due to the alcohol, “I think I’ve had enough wine for one night. I’ll be drunk-driving to work in the morning at this rate.” Yelina giggled, “well that wouldn’t set a good example now would it?” Horatio smiled and tilted his head forward slightly, “no it wouldn’t. If you follow me, I’ll show you where my room and the bathroom are.” Yelina stood up and stumbled onto Horatio who caught her in his strong arms, “steady, I think you’ve had enough as well.” Yelina stood up, steadied herself using Horatio’s arm and looked up straight into a pair of ocean blue eyes, “I… erm… I think you’re right.” The pair of them helped each other up the stairs, in fits of giggles. When they finally reached the top, Horatio opened a door, “this is the bathroom,” he looked in the bath, “and there’s my cold bath from earlier. I think I’ll empty it,” he proceeded to lean over and pulled out the plug. Normally this would have been a straight forward job but the alcohol caused him to be a bit unsteady. So Horatio wobbled around a bit whilst Yelina was giggling at him. Horatio stood up and looked at her, “what’s so funny?” “Lieutenant Caine, I don’t think I have ever seen you drunk before,” Yelina playfully put her hand on his chest, “you’re quite funny when you’ve had a few.” Horatio tried to hide his shy smile, “well don’t say anything to the guys at the lab, they may take me for an alcoholic rather than a workaholic. I think I’d prefer to be called the latter.” Horatio looked at Yelina’s hand that was still on his chest. She quickly removed her hand and looked away rather embarrassed. Horatio squeezed past her, back onto the landing and opened another door, “this is my room, well, your room for the night.” Yelina walked in followed by Horatio who went straight over to his chest of drawers and opened one. He took out a pair of jogging pants and an old blue t-shirt. “Will these do?” “They’ll be great thanks,” Yelina took them from him and went into the bathroom. Horatio rubbed his hands over his face, the lady of his desires was sleeping in his bed tonight and he was sleeping on the couch. If he was going to tell her how he felt, tonight would be the night. They will probably not have any time alone in the near future, plus the alcohol would give the courage he wouldn’t have normally if he was sober.

so will horatio admit his undying love for yelina?? how will she react if he does?? we will see! heres the next chap! luv sam x
Yelina came back into the room and gave Horatio a twirl, “what do you think?” “Wonderful,” Horatio had just put the alarm clock back on the bed-side table after setting it, “its set for 5 o’clock. You okay with that?” Yelina leapt on the bed next to Horatio, “that’s fine, what about you? How are you going to get up?” “I’m a light sleeper so I’ll hear it from downstairs, just leave the door open so I can hear it, okay?” Yelina nodded and started to climb under the covers. Horatio turned to look at her, Yelina looked back at him, “Horatio, what the matter?” He looked away form her, “it doesn’t matter you sleep well,” Horatio went to get up as Yelina grabbed his hand and gently pulled him back onto the bed, “oh c’mon Horatio, I know when something’s up. What is it?” “It’s just silly things, don’t need to worry,” Horatio didn’t look at her as he spoke to her which Yelina noticed. She knew something wasn’t quite right as this was a bit out of character for him. “Horatio, what is it? You can’t say that to me then leave it. Maybe I can help you.” Horatio bowed his head and grinned, “I don’t think you can help me with this. It’s a little bit too personal.” Yelina grinned, “it’s a woman, isn’t it?” Horatio looked rather shocked at her remark, “how did you…?” “I’m a woman, I know these things. So c’mon, tell me, who is she?” Horatio’s thoughts were all over the place. He’d been caught between a rock and a hard place and couldn’t break free. He debated whether to tell her the truth or try and wrangle his way out of it. But he knew that he wouldn’t be able get away from her that easily. Why did he have to do this to himself?
“Horatio? I’m waiting. You should know better than to keep a woman waiting,” Yelina smiled. Horatio took a deep breath, “you really want to know?” Yelina nodded, “I wouldn’t have asked otherwise, would I?” “Well she’s someone that I have known for a long time. I have actually worked with her for a while,” Horatio paused to catch his breath. He was sweating bullets by this point. “So is that it? You not going to tell me anymore?” “What else is there to tell? I like her but I don’t think she reciprocates my feelings.” Yelina smiled, “if you don’t talk to her, then you’ll never know. I’m sure Calleigh will be flattered. I know I would be.” “Calleigh?” “Yeah, I thought that was who you were talking about.” “No, it’s not Calleigh.” “If it’s not Calleigh then it must be Natalia or Alexx. But Alexx is married.” “No it’s not either of them two either.” “Well who is it?” Horatio hesitated, “this lady doesn’t work with me anymore, we used to work together but she moved away and has only recently come back to Miami.” Yelina looked at Horatio in shock, “it’s me isn’t it?” Horatio slowly nodded.
