Can't Hurry Love
Author: Scarlette O'Hara Summary: Casey can't wait to find someone who can give her comfort and love. Who will she turn to to find her love? Note: Please review...but no flames, please...oh yeah, and I don't own anything but the plot line.
God, when will I find someone? When will I have my chance to find someone who loves me the way I love him? I'm freaking 31 years old and I'm not married, I don't even have a boyfriend. I just wish that you would give me a guy who isn't a freak and likes me. I want to be in love. Please. Thank you. Amen.
Casey lay in her bed just thinking about her past loves. She so desperately wanted to find someone to hold her at night. Someone to kiss her cheek when she needed it. There was a man who Casey took a particular liking to when she was 25. His name was Matt Kinsley. He was tall, had short brown hair. He was perfect for Casey and she was so in wonderland when she was with Matt. Everyday, Casey regrets her decision to turn Matt down when he asked her for a relationship. No one loved her like Matt did. He literally worshiped the ground she walked on.

"Hey. How are you this morning," Matt said as he wrapped his arms around Casey's shoulders. She was going through some files at her office when he surprised her with a bouquet of Lilies of the Valley. These were Casey's favorite flower of all time. Their scent alone reminded her of Matt's touch and the way he kissed her.
"What are you doing here? I thought you had some hard work to do at the office," she told him. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, savoring the smell of his cologne, "You smell really good."
"Do I usually stink?"
"No, I just love your smell. It's comforting."
By this time the two were sitting across each other at Casey's desk. She was always thinking about Matt and he about her. Anyone with eyes could see they were in love. They stared into each other's eyes for about five minutes. Both were studying and memorizing each other's face as if it would be the last time they would see it.
"So, what brings you down here," Casey broke the silence.
"Am I not allowed to come say hello to a friend every once in a while?"
Casey hated it when he called her a friend. She wanted him to call her his girlfriend or just something other than "a friend."
"I didn't say you weren't allowed; I just thought you would be too busy to see a friend."
"Are you mad at me or something?"
Casey looked at him for a moment and was almost ready to tell him her feelings when the phone rang.
"I—Hello? Yes, this is she."
"This is Mandy Carlson. I'm Harrison Burke's defense attorney. This is regarding Mr. Burke's case against him...you know the one about attempted rape and murder? Could you come to my office with your attorney and we could discuss the case that you mistakenly have against my ever so innocent client."
The sound of Harrison Burke's name tore Casey inside. She hated that man with a passion. Her eyes went downcast and swallowed and fought back the tears.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked.
A/N: I know this is a rocky start, but I hope that it will meet your approval when I get into the next chapter.
