Things were going great, they
had been together for three weeks now and life couldn't be better.
Casey had practically moved into the KT house and when she wasn't
there she was with Cappie in her bed back at the ZBZ house.
Everything seemed to being going perfectly, she had even noticed that
Cappie and Evan were getting along again. She did notice
however, that everytime she would try to show Cappie "some love"
as he put it, when they were around Evan he would act weird and get
away from her as quickly as he could. She hadn't spoken with him
about it yet, she just chalked it up to male bonding time. Until recently she thought nothing of it really, that is until Cappie
started sneaking around and lying to her. She was concerned that
Evan's behavior might be rubbing off on him. 'That's something
I never thought I would say' she thought to herself. For
the last couple of weeks Cappie would tell her that he had homework
to do and when she would offer to help he would tell her no he
studied better with out her. Which didn't hurt her feelings any,
she knew it was true. He was acting so un-Cappie-like,
calling to tell her he'd be late, not answering his phone when they
were apart. When they were together it was great, it was like nothing
could come between them. But he would tell her he was going out "with
the guys" and come home sober as a bird. And he always smelled
funny, like a perfume-y smell or something. She had known
when they were together before that Cappie had always been faithful.
She knew he would never cheat on her. He was always telling her how
he had everything that he could ever want with her. That's why she
couldn't understand his odd behavior. She would get so
confused and hurt, and he would come home and smile that smile of his
and she would forget why she was mad in the first place. But some
nights recently he would be so tired that he wouldn't even want to
have sex. That's when she really started to worry. She was
trying to figure out how to bring it up. She didn't want to accuse
him of something when she didn't have any proof. She would ask him
what he had done with the guys and how his night had went and his
reply was always the same. "You know, guys stuff and it was
alright. I missed you though." "Hey I'm going out
with the guys again, don't wait up for me, I'll be back as soon
as I can. I love you." Cappie told her bringing her out of her
thoughts. "Can't you stay home with me tonight? We could get pie
and celebrate" she told him seductively. "Celebrate what?" he
asked smiling down at her. "I dunno, I'll think of something,
please." She asked her voice making her sound like a four year old
begging her daddy not to go to work. "I'll be back
before you know it, why don't you call up Ash and go do something
with her." He told her as he kissed her on the cheek. And with that
he was out the door before she could protest anymore. Casey sighed and looked at her phone. Just then it hit her, she had a
great plan. She picked up her phone and dialed Ashleigh's number.
"Hello?" "Hey what're you doing?" "Just havin' a night
in by myself I guess, I thought you were dead I haven't heard more
then two words from you in a few weeks." Casey felt bad,
she had totally forgotten about her best friend in all of this. "Ash,
I'm so sorry, why don't you come over and we'll hang out
tonight." "Cappie gone out with the guys again," "Ash, that's
not why I'm calling you, but yes." Ashleigh laughed. "Alright
I'll be there in a few." Casey was so glad that Ashleigh
wasn't the type to hold grudges for very long. And she was also
glad that she was coming over because she was going to play a very
vital role in Casey's plan. Casey could feel the butterflies
building in her tummy as she thought about what would be taking place
tonight.
