"Have I told you that you looked beautiful tonight?" Alex asked Casey, gently running her thumb over the back of Casey's hand.
Casey blushed and nodded her head, "A few times."
"And I've meant it every time," Alex smiled. "Did you know this was going to happen?"
Casey shook her head, "Not until I sat down and Rena told me. I thought I was going to kill her."
Alex furrowed her brows, almost dropping Casey's hand, "Why?"
Casey shook her head quickly, "Nothing about you, I am so glad it happened. I wanted to kill her because I thought you wouldn't show up, or that you'd leave when they knew what they planned. If I was going to be rejected, I wanted it to be on my own terms, you know?"
Upon seeing Alex nod, Casey continued. "Alex, this was the best night of my life, hands down. Having dinner with you was the best thing I've ever experienced."
Alex smiled and leaned into Casey, "This was definitely the best night of my life too, Case."
Dinner had gone well, Alex stayed. She flirted with Casey, the latter flirted back. To Alex, it felt as if it was only her and Casey in the restaurant. Casey was the only thing she saw. Alex had insisted on walking Casey home from the restaurant, passing her want for a kiss off as her wanting to make sure Casey got home safe, although both were true. The two walked hand-in-hand for two blocks, observing the beauty of the city. Alex, on the other hand, was enjoying Casey's beauty, which, in her opinion, was much more beautiful than the city. To Alex, Casey was perfect. There was nothing she could ever do that was imperfect, Alex was sure.
Alex's gazing was cut short when the two arrived at Casey's apartment. Casey leaned in, and before she knew it, Alex was kissing the redhead, pressed against the brick of Casey's apartment. Alex wrapped her arms around Casey's waist and pulled her closer.
"I love you," Casey whispered against Alex's lips.
"I'm in love with you, Casey Novak," Alex whispered back, barely audible.
