A/N: Sorry it's so late. I was at callbacks for my play today and guess what! I GOT THE PART! I'm the new Little Red Ridinghood in Into the Woods! Yeah…me!

Confessions

Casey found Jack back at the caves. He didn't know she was there. He was busy searching through her neatly organized drawers. God, she wanted to die more than what she was going to do. Her stomach lurched a couple of times as she approached him. She took a deep breath.

"Jack?" She made sure she asked loud enough that he could hear. He turned around and his expression softened at the sight of the blonde woman.

"Did you need something Casey? Are you sick?" Jack came closer to her.

"No…I'm fine. I came to apologize for the way I acted this morning. I really am sorry." She rung her hands behind her back so Jack couldn't see how nervous she was. Why did she feel this way?

Casey watched his face very closely. There it was. Love…love was standing right in front of her. Why was she afraid to love Jack? Was it because she had had her heart broken so many times before or was it the fact that she wasn't able to come to grips with the fact that someone did actually love her? All of her…disorders and all, Jack still loved her and that scared her. If she didn't love herself how was someone else supposed to? But there it was…living, denying proof of something great. Something bigger than Casey would ever be.

"You don't have to apologize. It's okay." Jack turned around and continued on his search. Casey didn't know what to say. She didn't want to loose Jack, which is what was going to happen if she didn't say something and quick.

"You know, it was romantic." She said swiftly. He stood slowly. "The kiss. It was really romantic and…forceful." She added.

"Is that a good thing?" Jack turned around slowly.

"Yes. Yes that's a good thing." Casey came closer to him. She laughed a little at his question.

"I don't really know what's going on." He was extremely confused.

"I like you Jack…a lot. I'm just afraid to love you back. That's all."

"You don't have to be afraid." Jack took her hand and held it tightly.

"Yes…yes I do. The last time that I felt like this I lost more than just my heart. I lost part of my future. You have to understand that the last time I was in love with someone…my entire life, not to mention my marriage, was based on lies." She looked at Jack seriously. "I can't do that again." She announced softly. She shook her head and looked down.

Jack lifted her chin and looked at her lovingly. "I can promise you that I will take care of you and that there are no lies involved because on an island there are limited things to lie about." Casey smiled at his remark. She did love Jack but she didn't want to LOVE him just yet.

"Can I ask you one thing?" Casey asked meekly. Jack laughed.

"Yes, of coarse." He waited for her question.

"Can we try that first kiss thing again? It didn't work like I wanted it too the first time around." She smiled at the doctor.

"Let's." Jack laughed.

Every movement he made was very deliberate. He rapped his arms around Casey's tiny waist and she rapped her arms around his neck. Then Jack leaned in for a very deep, very passionate, very 'very' kiss. It made Casey see stars and she felt weak for a minute afterwards. Not even Andy whom she loved and adored for more than one reason couldn't kiss like Jack could. She sighed contently and nodded in satisfaction.

"Much better." She told Jack who snickered back at her. "Much, much better." Then she kissed him again.

A/N: AH! I'm stuck. I can end it here or you (my reviewers) can help me. What should happen next, but right now I'm drawing a blank! Okay, I want you to tell me in your next review what should happen and I'll see if I can't work it into the rest of the story. Thank you for your love and support! Sorry this chapter was so short.
