Jaime and Bart sat dumbfounded while Cassie's expression turned from disbelief to anger. "Umm, should we run?" Bart asked fear in his voice. "Maybe you could. I would never be able to get away in time." Jaime told him automatically. His head snapped up to look at Bart "NO." Bart got his usual pleading look on, the one Jaime couldn't resist "Comeon hermano, pleaseeeeee..." He drew out the e until Jaime pinched the bridge of his nose. "Fine," he snapped "but you owe me." Bart quickly jumped up heading toward the bathroom so he could phase through the wall there "Deal! See you at the cave, hopefully." Jaime sighed. He was so in for it.

Less than a minute later, Jaime was facing down the enraged demigod who was now sitting across from him. "What are you doing here?" Oh yeah, she was livid. Jaime gave her a sheepish smile, "Oh you know, just getting diner with my best buddy." Cassie made a face. "So, you just happened to go to the same town as me to get dinner, and you just happened to go to the diner right across from the one I was in, and you just happened to take the only seat where you would be able to see my table and the entrance!" Jaime frowned "Well, when you put it like that, it kinda makes us sound like stalkers, chica." Thats when Cassie blew up "Are you kidding me! Thats exactly what you guys are! You followed me from the cave and spied on my date!"

Jaime was getting annoyed now, "Sorry if we were worried about you. Sorry if I was worried. Sorry if I actually care about yo- what happens to you." He flushed a little when he almost slipped up and quickly paid the bill before grabbing his jacket off the back of his chair and storming out the diner door. He felt bad for yelling at her, but was also angry at her. Even so, he couldn't just leave her to go home alone. So he waited for outside for her, sitting on the nearby curb.

It took a little longer than he expected for her to come out of the diner. When she did though, she came over to the curb and sat next to him in the cold spring night. He saw her shiver in the corner of his eye and removed his jacket, draping it over her arms. She smiled at him gratefully, "Thanks Jaime, for...everything." He felt his cheeks redden a little, but smiled at her nonetheless, "Anytime." They sat there together on the curb until Cassie piped up with a small smile on her face, "You were really worried about me?" Jaime felt the blush again and tried his best to hide it from her, "Well, of course. It's not like any of us knew this guy. I mean there is no way a guy can be as perfect as you described him to be. Its just not possible." Cassie smiled at Jaime, "Yes it is." He looked at her with disbelief, "Really? Then who is?" He saw a light pink blush spread throughout her face, but faced him anyway, crystal blue lost in puppy dog brown. "Well, I think you're pretty great."

Her blush deepened when he just started at her completely shocked. Did she just call him great? He shook his head, hoping to clear his mind. It didn't. "Me?" he asked, disbelief obvious in his voice. She gave him a small smile, "Yeah, you. You're smart, funny, nice, you're always there for your friends, you're brave, loyal, caring, Jaime... you're amazing." Jaime blushed and looked away. When he was pretty sure his blush was almost gone, he faced her again staring her straight in the eyes. "You're amazing too, even more so than me, chica." Cassie stared at him, blue eyes wide with wonder before something changed within them. The next thing Jaime knew, Cassie's ruby lips were pressed against his. He felt himself melt into the kiss and Cassie smile against his lips. They pulled back after a while both catching their breath. Jaime gave her an embarrassed smile, "Now that was amazing." She laughed her mesmerizing beautiful laugh, "Jaime?" He looked at, "Yeah?" She smiled at him, nice and wide. "Just kiss me." He was happy to oblige.
