When he turned around Casey had already made herself at home sitting on the edge of his bed. He thought she looked a little fidgety though, wringing her hands the way she was and looking at everything in the room but him. "So what did you wanna talk about?" he asked walking over to his computer desk and sitting in the chair there. He didn't want to make this even more uncomfortable then it already was. "I thought you wanted to try to be friends. Eveytime we see eachother you stay for like 5 minutes and then you do the disappearing Cappie act." Well there it was she got it out on the table. Now she wasn't sure if she even wanted to know the answer. What if he decided he couldn't be friends with her but he didn't want to be with her either and he was trying to figure out how to let her down easy. Cappie was staring at the ground very intently. "Well?" She prompted. "You're right Case, I have been acting kinda weird lately. I'm sorry. I've just been really busy planning the party and all." He lied. "Okay well I can help. I just want to hang out like we used too. I'm tired of things being weird. Don't you want to try and make this friend thing work?" 'NO!!!' he thought, "all I wanna do is grab you and kiss you until you can't breathe." But he said "Of course I want to be friends, it was my idea wasn't it?" 'Stupid' he thought in his head. "Well then let me help you with the party planning. I'm a party planning machine. Casey the party planner, that's me." She said awkwardly. "Yeah" Cappie replied scratching the back of his head. 'How am I gonna come up with party plans in the next 5 seconds?' "You know I'm kinda sick of planning for the party. I think I might take a nap." "Oh" she said trying not to show the sadness she felt at his reply. "OR or we could watch a movie or something." He watched as her face lit up. "That would be great. What movie do you want to see?" Great Casey and I alone, watching a movie. Nice job you idiot.
When they finally returned from the movie store, after fighting about which movie to rent for an hour, the KT house was filled with the usual drunk guys hanging out. Since they couldn't have a party they were all just drinking beer playing ps3 games, occupying the tv. "So I guess were watching these in your room then huh?" Casey said as she began walking up the stairs towards Cappies room. "Ya, I guess so." He said walking behind her up the stairs. 'Great just wonderful, this is almost worse then when she was dating Max and I couldn't have her.' Knowing he could have her but holding himself back was killing him.
Casey placed blankets and pillows on the floor and angled the tv just right so they could see it from their place on the floor. Cappie gave her a questioning look. "I figured the floor was a safer friends zone then the bed." 'Thank God' he thought silently to himself. He popped the movie in and took a seat next to Casey putting the large bag of popcorn between them that he had purchased at the movie place. The movie began and everything was going great. They were laughing together like friends watching a great movie. Until they both reached for the popcorn at the same time. "Oh" "Oh sorry, you go ahead" "Thanks," Casey replied awkwardly and began to munch on her popcorn. "Casey" "Ya?" she said not looking away from the movie not wanting to see the look on his face. 'Please don't say this isn't working and I need to go home.' "This isn't working," "Oh right" she said standing up and gathering her things, "I'll just go this was a bad idea." Cappie grabbed her hand stilling her movements and pulling her back down to the floor. "No I mean me and you acting all weird everytime we accidently touch or our legs brush against eachother." She looked up at him from under her long lashes. "So what do we do then?" "Well I think that friends can cuddle while they watch a movie right?" he said as he put his arm around her and pulled her close. She melted into him immediately and sighed. "Ya this is nice, friends do this."
The next morning Casey woke up to find herself wrapped in Cappies warm arms snuggled against his chest on the floor. She had the worst kink in her neck and she had to pee but there was no way she was moving. She smiled and snuggled further into his chest. Cappie began to stir a little so she started to pull away. "Hey mornin'" she says smiling at him as she continued to sit up. "Mornin' beautiful." He said and pulled her back into his chest. "And where do you think you're going?" "Well I just thought-" "Friends can fall asleep and wake up in eachothers arms right?" she laughed a little at this. "Well I've never done that with a friend until now but I guess there's a first time for everything right?" "Ya just another first that we've be shared together" he said looking into her eyes and leaning closer to her. Casey closed her eyes waiting for the kiss she was sure was coming but never did. Instead he pulled back like he had burned her and stood up quickly. "I uh I gotta pee." He said leaving the room as quickly as he could. Casey just sighed.
