A/N: I would like to thank Cheyennemaria, Idinakirstinfan, VampirePrincess86, Alexlivilla70 and Color Esperanza for reviewing. Special thanks to:

Javalover27: I was trying to get people to see that Serena liked Casey as subtly as I could with out coming right out and saying it. I'm glad that you noticed it. Oh and I guess you don't have to read the other chapter anymore because the one you've been waiting for is finally here.

RebelByrdie: I guess it seems that Olivia does have the slowest gaydar. I had not realized that till you mentioned it. And that wouldn't be fun at all dying at work. I think I would be afraid of that as well. But only for me I would have died at school. That is just as scary.

TiggPwns: I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Chapter Eight

Only Friends?

The sun shining through the window of Serena's apartment was right on Serena's face causing her to wake up. She blinked her eyes sending away all of her sleepiness. The first thing she saw was Casey who was peacefully sleeping beside her. For a split second she panicked not knowing what to do. But after a few seconds of panic she forced herself to calm down and think rationally. She looked down and found that their body limbs were entangled. Now that she was able to think clearly she couldn't help but feel relaxed and safe. It was the safest she'd ever felt in a long time. She closed her eyes and tried to fall back to sleep. But the movement of Casey caused her to be alarmed. She opened her eyes just enough so she could see, but not enough that if Casey were up she would know she was up. She found that Casey was just getting up. A shocked expression spread across Casey's face when she was fully awake, but it was replaced by a serene expression. Did she see what she thought she saw? Was Casey feeling the way she did?

"We're only friends," Casey whispered.

Serena thought she could hear a little bit of sadness when Casey whispered that statement. Casey went to get up and Serena, who had her arms around Casey's waist, tightened her hold before she could stop herself. She watched as another shocked expression fell across Casey's face.

"Are you awake Serena?" Casey asked.

Serena couldn't help but open her eyes the rest of the way. She suddenly didn't want this opportunity to tell Casey how she felt pass her by.

"Is that all you want us to be?" Serena asked.

"You heard me?" Casey asked.

Serena nodded. She gave Casey some time to think about her question before she repeated it. Casey looked up at the ceiling and Serena gave up all her hope of having Casey feel the same way she did. So she loosened her hold on Casey so that if she wanted to she could get up. But what surprised her was that Casey didn't get up. She looked back over at Casey and she wore a smile.

"Can I have another chance to answer?" Casey asked.

Serena nodded her head. She didn't know where this was going but she hoped that wherever it went it didn't hurt her too bad. Casey bent down closing the distance between them and kissed her. When she pulled away Serena was sharing in her smile.

"Do you like my answer?" Casey asked.

"You have no idea how much I like that answer."

A/N: So that's what happens. Hope you enjoyed it. Sorry it was short, but I had to get that cleared up. Review please.
