Ok I'm Back! Sorry for the delayed updates but I've been super busy with school and family. I also know this chapter is somewhat short but hopefully there will be another one coming in the next week or two. Hope you enjoy!

Stupid.

Stupid and somewhat regretful is all Casey can feel right now. It's been a week since she took the opportunity to kicked Fin out and now she feels stupid. To be fair he hasn't tried to contact to her since Friday morning but after that one call he never tried again. She doesn't know what she was hoping for. Was it for him to fight? To continue to call or text? NO! that would've only made her angrier and Fin most likely knew that. So why the hell was she feel guilty? "Maybe it's because you yelled at him for something he didn't do?" "Maybe it's because you just possibly ruined a good friendship just for being paranoid?" said a voice in her head. It also didn't help Fin must've talked to Liv or something because she text and called practically telling her to get her shit together. Did she listen? No! She just ignored the warning because who was she kidding, Fin could do so much better. Maybe he didn't want to do better! There goes that damn voice again but hey she can't be mad for it speaking common sense into her.

Casey sat in her office Thursday afternoon contemplating everything that has happened. She has basically avoided going over to the precinct because she scared to see his face. She's scared to see the anger on his face when she walks in to talk about business but can't talk about them. She's scared to show any emotion and make herself seem weak if he doesn't show any emotion at all. She's scared of what his eyes might scream when she glances his way because that's the only person she would want to look at. She's scared of every possibly wrong thing that might happen because maybe he realized she wasn't worth it. Gosh! Why did she have to jump into bed with a close friend! This isn't the first time her vagina has made her life complicated but it just so happened that it wasn't her vagina that ended up making him walk out. It was her stupid insecurities! It also didn't help that everytime Liv came to her office she would ask how's everyone doing and she didn't bother to hide the look in her eyes when she mention her man. Well he's not your man anymore asshole! Casey couldn't even be mad at the voice this time.

She tells herself she need to stop thinking about what happened and try to erase what only two people knew about. But between the voice and Liv telling her she screwed up and how she screwed up, she couldn't help but to think about all of this. Plus it's been a WEEK! It's not like she could call him now and if she did what would she say. Knowing what a man Fin was, there has probably been woman throwing themselves at him and she couldn't blame him for accepting some offers. She had seen the hurt on his face when she practically called him a man whore and she honestly wishes she could take it back. But NOOOO she had to open her big mouth and say things that were meaningless and hurtful causing the one man she knew to arrive at work when he had the day off. Liv had told her everything Fin had said and every emotion he showed when he said it. Honestly she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't burn the sheets from that night and hung up a dart board of her face. Now you're being really overdramatic! She wonders if she is going crazy because she doubt any sane person has voice in their head.

Looking at the clock she realizes it's seven and she has been sitting here for the past two hours staring in space. Wow man I really got to get a life! Gathering her things to leave for the day, Casey makes the decision to try and reach out to him in hopes of at least keeping their friendship.

When she arrives at her apartment she goes into her plans that she made on the drive over. She had decided to take a bubble bath to calm her nerves before her conversation with Fin. Walking into the master bathroom, Casey stands in front of the mirror and sheds herself of her clothes. Looking in the mirror she can still faintly see some love marks that remind her of the one wonderful night she had. Closing her eyes she can easily travel back to that night and feel his lips on her body sparking her every nerve. Quickly opening her eyes, she has to remind herself that those thoughts won't help her right now and that they will only frustrate her more. She runs the bath as hot as she can take it and the room floods with the smell of jasmine with honey. Slowly soaking her body into the water, she allows a moan to slip as the stress from the past week surrenders to the soothing bubbles. The feeling that conquers her body gives her the courage to call him right now while she is in pure bliss. She hesitates to grab her phone that rest beside the tub but, grabs it anyway before the nerves settle in.

Ring!

Ring!

She starts to the think that maybe this is a bad idea as the phone rings for the third time. Why would he want to talk to me after a week of being ignored?

Ring!

As she is racking her mind coming up with reasons why this is a stupid idea, she fails to hear the man on the other end of the phone.

"Hello…. Heelloo…. Casey, I know it's you"

His voice is so husky and smooth. Just hearing it reminds her of the way he said her name while carrying her to paradise.

"Look Casey I don't know what kind of games you're playing but.." Casey could hear a touch of annoyance and what sound like hurt..maybe? She knew that now was the time to speak up or there wouldn't be another. "Sorry, I just...nvm" God, why couldn't she just speak? "Umm, I'm just surprised you answered."

"I'm surprised you called" She couldn't tell if that was meant to hurt her, break her heart, or to make her angry and if that was the case he checked all the boxes above.

"I know I'm the last person you want to talk to right now, I'll just hang up"

"So you're running for the second time, God Casey if that's the case why'd you even call?" He knew he wasn't going easy on her but she had to realize how this was making him feel.

"I'm sorry Fin, I really am. I just" Why did her emotions have to get the best of her? "I've been wanting to call or see you but I thought you probably hated my guts right now" Just the thought of her statement coming true made a tear roll down her face.

"Well Casey you wouldn't have known because you didn't try to reach out." She knew he had a point but "It's not like I didn't think about it, I tried" Casey practically pleaded to him.

" I just didn't know how to speak to you, I'll admit I said some things in mist of the moment and I should've talked to you about my feelings" she took a moment to breathe, " This whole time I've been struggling to come up with the right words to say and Fin I.. I" he hears a faint sob come through the phone and it broke his heart.

"Casey…. Case, listen don't cry please" he didn't want to hear her cry. God Why does he have to be so caring "Listen, maybe we should have the conversation in person at least so we both can get a better understanding of what the other person is feeling" after a long pause, Fin was starting to regret asking the question " I mean unless you don't want to meet which is fine I.." He was interrupted with he heard her say " Oh God Fin that's fine, More than fine actually, I would like to see you" Both lovers could hear a sigh of relief through each end of the phone. Fin was about to give a place when he heard a quiet I miss you come through the phone and his heart soared. " I miss you to Case, but we can talk about it more when we meet ok?"

"Ok… would you like to come over to my place and talk? It can be whenever, I know it has been pretty hectic at the station lately." Casey honestly couldn't stop smiling, she just hoped that the conversation would go great.

"Um yeah, it has been but the only night I have free lately has been tonight."

"Well you could come now if it isn't a bother to you"

" Yeah that'll be great if you don't mind"

"No just let me finish my bath and I'll be good." So shocked by Fin actually answering, Casey forgot about being in the bathtub and she couldn't help but chuckled when she heard a covered grown that came through the phone. "Fin just call me when you get here"

"Trust me I will Casey, see you in a hour"
