Chapter 7

"Casey? You two know each other?" Beaumont asked as she turned to the gentleman who had just walked through the door.

"Um yeah…" Casey asked confused as Beaumont was addressing Davis and not her. "Wait, how do you two…"

"I'm actually here to pick up Allison." Davis said awkwardly. "What are you doing here Casey?"

"You're picking up Beaumont? I didn't even know you knew Beaumont."

"And I didn't know he knew you either. I thought he didn't know anybody in town." Beaumont looked accusingly at Davis.

"I know her from work. I manage her trust fund and…"

"And we use to date." Casey finished the sentence for him.

"Oh great…one more person who is in love with Casey." Beaumont looked at Jason who until that moment was silently watching the group of people with interest. His face turned red and he turned around to tend to the already burning bacon.

"What are you talking about?" Casey asked as Davis quickly replied, "I'm not in love with her."

"Yeah I didn't mean anything by it…forget I said anything. I will leave you two to talk… I need to talk to Jason for a minute anyway." Beaumont walked back behind the counter where Jason was staring at the burnt breakfast.

"Casey turned to Davis, "So what are you doing here?"

"I'm going on a date with Allison. How do you two know each other?"

"A date? I thought she was with Walsh? And how do you two know each other?" Casey began asking question after question, finally pausing to give Davis enough time to respond.

"Apparently they broke up. I just moved into her building and we started talking. Since I don't know anybody, she asked me if I wanted to go hang out with her. Since you were always ditching me, I thought a little social interaction outside of work would be nice. How do you know her?"

"We work together." Casey said flatly.

"Please don't tell me she's a cop. I can't date another cop."

"Yes, she is a cop. Detective Beaumont. I know I have mentioned her before."

"Wait, she's the one who was dating your partner right? And this is your partner's diner which is why you are here." Recognition dawned on his face as he finally put two and two together.

Casey just nodded.

"So he's the guy who was in love with someone else and that's why she dumped him."

"Jason is in love with someone else?" Casey asked, an awful feeling settling in her stomach. She had been almost happy to know he was no longer with Beaumont but to know it was because he was in love with someone else made her feel uneasy. How could he have fallen in love with someone else? When would he have even met someone else? Why does it bother me anyway?

"Uh hello?" Davis asked, pulling her out of her musing.

"Yeah?" Casey felt the tears rise in her eyes as she looked at Davis.

"Oh my gosh. You're in love with him."

"What?" She asked, feigning ignorance, "I'm in love with who?"

"You're in love with your partner. I should have seen this a long time ago. Maybe all those times you 'had' to leave were just because you wanted to be with him instead of me."

"I really don't know what you are talking about Davis." Casey replied, blinking her eyes to keep her unshed tears from spilling over.

"Don't even try to deny it Casey. Look at you, I mention that the guy is in love with someone else and you start acting all weird and don't act like you aren't. You are practically crying for goodness sake and you don't cry. I know you Casey, better than you want to believe. If you like the guy you should tell him before its too late. I know what it's like to be in love with someone who isn't in love with you and it sucks. So if you want a chance with this dude then you have got to put it all on the line and tell him what you think. If you don't, you will regret it."

Casey looked over to see Beaumont with her hand on Walsh's shoulder as she whispered something in his ear.

The epiphany hit her like a ton of bricks. She didn't just like the guy or care about him. He wasn't just her partner or a really good buddy. He didn't just look after her on the job. She was in love with him. I am majorly, totally, butt-crazy, head-over-hills in love with Jason Walsh.

She wanted to be the one with her hand on his shoulder and leaning into him to whisper in his ear. She wanted to be the one he made breakfast for in the mornings and the one that helped in close the diner at night before they went back into his little apartment. She wanted to wear his Yankee's baseball t-shirt with nothing on underneath and have him look at her like she was the most beautiful thing on earth. She wanted for him to look at her the way he had been earlier and feel comforted by it instead of weird-ed out. She wanted to be the one who had dumb number games to play with him while they were at work about how many times she had thought about sleeping with him that day. Truthfully, she just wanted him.

Maybe that was why she had pushed Davis away and ran out on him every chance she got. She didn't want to be with him, but he was biding her time while Jason was dating Beaumont. Now was her chance though. If Walsh and Beaumont had really broken up she had to act now. Even if he was in love with someone else and had no feelings for her, she had to risk it or she would always wonder what could have been.

She was in a trace as she stared at the pair, oblivious to Davis whispering something in her own ear. All she seemed to be able to focus on was the man laughing across the room from her. He looked happy and maybe even excited and she wondered what he was thinking and if he and Beaumont truly were over.

She noticed Walsh glance at her for a second before turning his attention back to Beaumont who had just started walking towards them.

Beaumont had left Casey and Davis to go speak with Jason. "I'm sorry about that, it just kind of slipped out."

"Yeah thanks. I want to be the one to tell her." Jason sneered.

"I'm pretty sure she didn't know I was talking about her. If there is one thing that Casey is, she's clueless when it comes to you. She has no idea you're in love with her."

"How do you know that?"

"Because she clueless to the fact that she's in love with you too. What other woman would give a guy advise about another girl if she was in love with him."

"That makes it worse. She doesn't love me or she wouldn't have."

"It's that she doesn't know she's in love with you Jas. She's going to figure it out though; I guarantee it. Everyone down at the precinct sees the way you two look at each other. I was an idiot to ignore it for so long and think that it could or would just go away."

Beaumont leaned in while placing her hand on his shoulder and whispered, "It's her isn't it? That you think about on the stand. Better than the world series?"

Walsh smiled and nodded, "How'd you know?"

"Are you kidding me? The way both of your faces lit up today in court. I could no longer deny anything after I saw that."

"Hers lit up too?" Jason was getting excited about the thought that maybe Casey had been thinking about him in court.

Beaumont laughed at his giddiness, "Yeah, hers lit up too. The whole damn placed noticed. Look I should get going. Tell her how you feel before you miss your chance."

Walsh nodded and looked over to see Casey watching him. He smiled at her then looked back to Beaumont as she turned to leave.

"We should get going." Beaumont said, addressing Davis.

"Yeah. I will see you next week Casey." Davis nodded goodbye towards Jason and met Beaumont at the door.

"Bye." Casey replied, still staring in the direction of Jason Walsh.

"Well that was interesting." Beaumont replied as she stepped through the door that Davis had held open for her. "I didn't realize you were Casey's ex-boyfriend."

"Yeah, I had no idea that you were a cop." Davis replied.

"Do you still want to have dinner?" Allison asked, a little unsure how she felt about the situation now. She didn't want to go out with Casey's ex-boyfriend but she knew Davis seemed like a good guy.

"Yeah, but I have to be honest. The cop thing might be a deal breaker for me. With Casey running out on me all the time, I don't think I want to go back down that road."

"I know what you mean. How about we just have a friendly dinner and take it from there."

"Okay. But please don't run out on me. I hate being left by myself right as the food is delivered."

Beaumont laughed, "She run out on you a lot?"

"Basically every time we went to eat."

"Well I'm not on call or anything so we should be good for the evening."

"I've heard that one before." Davis rolled his eyes.

"I won't leave. I promise." Beaumont smiled as the two made their way towards the SUV parked down the street from the diner.

Back inside the diner Jason cleared his throat, "I guess I burned your breakfast."

"It's okay," Casey said a little awkwardly. "How about we order pizza?"

"Sounds good." Jason picked up the phone and began dialing the number as he went to switch the sign on the front door to closed. "Pepperoni?"

"Sounds perfect." Casey's stomach did a little flip at the smile Walsh was giving her.

So there it is. At least it was up a little bit quicker than the last one. I hope to update at least once a week now. Please review!
