A/N: This is my newest LWD, fic. It's in Casey's POV. Uh, the first two chapters are going to be pretty short because they're kind of like a bit of a prologue in two parts. Well, I've been working on an idea for a sequel to my fic 'Mistakes We Knew We Were Making' which I got fabulous feedback for (thanks a bunch all of ya'll) and it should follow soon. The title is going to be 'Broken Pieces', so look for it! R & R! Thanks! -Mac

Chapter One

Sam

Sam, my boyfriend. He's great. Wonderful, really. At least I think he's great. I can see why anyone would think differently, though. He's got so many endearing qualities.

He's painfully adorable. His smile spans from ear to ear and I think it's so cute. When he smiles that wide, dimpled smile, I understand why some people have the urge to pinch someone's cheeks. It's so cute.

He's the absolute sweetest guy you could ever meet. He's the perfect gentleman. Always opening doors for me. Always pulling my chair out for me. Everything a girl wishes a guy would do for her, he did for me. He is so respectful to everyone he meets. He is the only sensitive guy I know. He's not concerned what other people think about him--which is kind of ironic because most people think highly of him.

We fit together well. At least I think so. We agreed on practically everything when we first started dating. Now, after months of being together, we do agree on everything. If that isn't a sign of a good relationship I don't know what is.

We never fight, ever. I don't think we've ever had a reason to. Neither of us are argumentative, by nature. It's just not in our character. I am comfortable with him because I can be myself without fearing judgement--or rejection. He accepts me in every way. It's an easy relationship. I don't worry he's going to leave me, because he cares about me. He's loyal to the people he cares about. We don't have any of those typical relationship problems that so many people gripe about. It's nice. I'm grateful. I can enjoy being in a relationship without all the stress.

We can do anything together and we usually do most of the time. It's very easy to spend time together. We don't argue over what we're going to do. Those kind of decisions are just simple for us. He isn't the insecure guy who can't be seen shopping with his girlfriend. I go to his hockey games, cheer him on. We have our everyday routine and it just flows.

We've been dating for awhile now, and I'm thankful that I didn't let Derek scare him off. I care about him. A lot. I do, I do care about him. He's a great guy. In essence, he's the perfect guy for me. That's why I'm dating him.

He's so wonderful. It's amazing how good of a guy he can be. He treats me great. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. I don't deserve him.

I'm sure a lot of people say that, without really meaning it. I really mean it. I am a horrible person. A truely horrible person. I have been lying to him. And I can't seem to find a way to stop.
