AN UNDENIABLE CONNECTION
When Casey was just a little girl, she dreamed of falling in love with a prince and having a fairy tale wedding. The more she thought about it, the more she imagined how it would be. She imagine that they would have a lot in common, that they would know and get each other so well. That their first kiss would be magical, have this undeniable chemistry. She imagined that he would be the perfect guy and everyday with him, would feel special. When she turned fifteen she was slapped in the face by reality. None of the man or woman measured up to her ideals, they had one but didn't have the other...I mean she didn't think that she was asking for too much, she wanted someone to love her and only her and to mean it. When he said he loved her and is devoted to her, to actually mean that.
For some people, that was too hard for them to follow. Sam didn't seem to feel the Sam way she did, the coach was a pig , max didn't seem as invested as she was. Now that she looks back, she thinks that he was just using her. Truman was a huge mistake! She was just trying to fill some void that she couldn't feel, she thought that he was different but he turned out to be the worst. Truman was a waste of time, A "learning experience" that she would skip if given the chance too.
Along the way she meet some great girls that started off as friends, that's all she wanted nut it transferred into something more. Allison was so sweet, kind and understanding but she had her own baggage that she wasn't able to deal with. Baggage that she didn't want or need from me. James was the first guy I slept with and Michelle was the first I slept with, those were the two people I actually thought I was in love with.
They both broke my heart in different ways, with James it was a mutual thing we just weren't in love anymore. Even though it was a mutual thing, doesn't mean it hurt any less when we said goodbye. Michelle and I were two people moving in two different directions...ok, long story short She said " I met someone better, someone more like me." That one stung straight to the heart. My third encounter I will admit, it was a sex with benefits kind of thing that ended horribly.
Over the years I realized that I didn't know what love was. There was something missing from the definition of the word and the feelings your feel when your with someone. How do you know its love? How do you know there the one and its not just another heartbreak? I'm not an expert when it comes to love and I've been smacked in the face too many times by love, to claim that I do.
Derek (is in an all black suit with a white shirt and red time, he has a gold Rolex on his wrist and a smile on his face as he stands up to shakes the guys hand. Derek walks out with the guy.) It is the perfect place to take your husband for his anniversary, then you wine and dine him and wait for the dessert and then just ease it in that you want a baby. Now, you don't want to make him feel like your manipulating him, you just want him to understand your side of the argument.
Alex: Thank you .
Derek: please, were practically best friends now, call me Derek.
The guy leaves and Derek closes the door.
Casey: so, what's the verdict Mr. Venture? Do you think our client will get what he wants?
Derek (closes the door and smirks,he spins around so that his facing her.) I have never had an unsatisfied client.
Casey: true. You were amazing in there, I still can't how great you are in there.
Derek: its a natural given talent, I almost forgot congratulations to you as well counselor... Because of you, we got another win.
Casey: please, you did all the work in there... I hardly did anything in there, you won the case.
Derek: Don't sell yourself short case, it was a team effort. The work was split 50/50, also you gathered a lot of the information that we used to close the case.
caSsey: well, since you put it that way...thank you.
Derek: shouldn't you be putting this moment in your book of wins? Another keener success for the history books.
Casey laughs
Derek: lets celebrate!
Casey: I don't know, I have work early in the morning.
Derek: so do i! Come on! We just won a case, lets celebrate!
Casey: fine! But don't get mad when your doing all of the work and your taking care of me.
Derek: I don't mind, besides I like taking care of you.
Casey (laughs)
Derek: what's so funny?
Casey: since the moment we met we hated each other, we couldn't even fool our parents into thinking we were getting along.
Derek laughs
Derek: you did not appreciate my prank, it was classic.
Casey: it was not classic and it will never be a classic.
Derek: you need to work on that sense of humor of yours, princess.
Casey: I do have a sense of humor, your just not funny..
Derek: ha ha ha your so funny.
Casey: one of us has to be.
Derek: yeah! And its me!
Casey: your mistaken being obnoxious for being funny.
Derek: pot meet kettle.
Casey: ( rolls her Eyes) whatever lets just go to the bar
Derek: not to night! Tonight we get the fancy shit!
Casey: from where?
Derek: where else? restaurant. Ill get the steak, you'll get the chicken seared chicken smothered in red and green pepper, lemon sauce with a side of diced seaoned red potatoes and a small salad with a side of white wine.
Casey smiles impressed with the fact that Derek remembered her order perfectly. Derek sees her staring
Derek: what!? You only order it every time.
Casey: oh shut up!
Derek: your like a book case and I already read every page.
Casey: please, when have you ever read a book voluntarily!
Derek: come on lets go to the restaurant.
Casey: that's what I thought.
They both get in their cars and drive to the restaurant, they walk in and wait for a table.
Casey: if someone would habe told me that in the future, not only do we go to college together but we also work at the same firm and that we get along...I would laugh in their face and walk off.
Derek: yeah. I mean all I wanted from you was to run far away, now I tolerate you ( he laughs)
Casey pokes him with her elbow and he laughs again.
Derek: hey! Watch it!
Casey: you watch it!
The greeter gestures at us
Casey: great! Were getting kicked out because of you, this is just like when we were kids.
Derek: because of me? you were right there with me, princess.
Casey: Der-ek! ( crosses her arms) I hate it when you call me that!
Derek: I know that's why I do it, to irk your nerves.
They both reach the counter at the same time
Greeter: we have a table for you ready.
Casey: good! I'm starving!
Derek: I haven't had anything to eat since one o clock!
Casey: Derek! That's not good, that was over seven hours ago!
Derek: I know, I was just so busy. When was the last time you ate.
Casey: I had a salad at three
Derek: I've seen the salads you bring into work, there too small.
Casey: well, were here now. So, that doesn't matter.
Derek(they sit at their table and look at the menu, Derek orders a big steak mashed potatoes and mac and cheese.) We need to talk about our nutritional habits ( Casey smiles) oh my gosh I sound like you!
Casey: ( gets a chicken and shrimp pasta with salad and bread sticks. To prove to Derek that she's not predictable and she even ordered red wine.) Your right, we need to do better. Speaking of doing better, how is the romance going on your side.
Derek: we are not talking about my love life! ( he waves his hand and shakes his head.)
Casey:(smiles) oh yeah, you hate that stuff.
Derek: no, we signed .
Casey: right! You hate when girls cry and any form of emotion.
Derek: right. I did but I'm not that immature kid any more.
Casey: I know but it was so funny.
Their food comes and they eat and drink wine. After their food is done, they order dessert. Casey had a strawberry cheesecake and Derek had a double fudge chocolate cake sprinkled with walnuts.
Derek: ( mmm, hmmm) oh my gosh! ( he fills his fork with another bite and holds it in front of casey face.) You got to try this, its so good
Casey: eats the cake off his fork (mmm) that is so great! How do the make the cake so melt in your mouth
Derek: ( Derek raises his eyebrows and puts his tongue against his cheek) want another piece?
Casey: no, wanna try some of mine. ( she takes her fork and gives him some, he just smiles and looks at her as he slowly cheesecake off of the fork.)
Derek: mmm...they are both so great.
They finish their dessert they both call uber's and say goodbye to each other. When they both get in their uber rides they text one another.
Casey: that was fun!😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉
Derek: do it again sometime.
Casey: if we can.
Derek: we have to always make time for fun, because if we don't well go insane or turn into robots.
Casey: beep hoop bop!
Derek: now that I think about it, you always did act like a robot and when you fail, you always acted like you were gonna malfunction.

Derek: damn!
Casey: your right!
Derek: I'm sorry what did you say?
Casey: I said your right!
Derek: oh my gosh you said it twice, I have to take a snap shot of this and send it to everyone.
Casey: I will deny it!
Derek: how are you going to lie, when I have evidence?
Casey: that text could have been altered, there are so many apps out there that can do this now.
Derek: so, are you saying that you would lie?
Casey: I said no such thing.
Derek: did you or did you not state, that you would deny it if I told anyone. The statement is clearly right there in the picture.
Casey: I never said I would deny what you said, I just said that I will deny it but I not alluded to what.
Derek: so, your suggesting that the text is from you, which means the text is in fact! Not altered!
Casey: its only half of the conversation, you could have said anything. You could have told me to text that and I compiled
Derek: that's want the statement, the statement you claimed was that I altered the photo but yet you defended twice, that this is in face your text.
Casey: ok! I'm guilty ok
Derek: I always find the clues to nail the bad guys, this case is officially, closed!
