Okay so originally I was going to make this a one-shot. But I kinda wanted to continue it since I hate it when authors leave me hanging like that. I know that some ppl like to make the rest up in their head. So if you want it to end here then don't read the rest.
Casey opened the door to the ZBZ house, she was going over to Cappie's to figure this whole thing out. She was going to tell him that it had been six weeks and she still felt the same way. How long did he want her to wait anyways?
"Case, hey" she heard a voice infront of her say. She looked up to see Cappie standing there awkwardly. "Hey Cap, what're you-" "I was just in the neighborhood and thought 'hey wonder what Casey is doing, I should stop by and say hi'." He told her looking at the ground.
"You were just in the neighborhood?" she asked looking at him with a smirk. "The neighborhood that you've been purposely avoiding for three weeks, you just happened to be wondering it?" she said looking not at all convinced.
"Yeah well, I just happened to be walking by and thought I would stop by and see how my friend was doing." He told her glancing at her face before looking down. "Friend huh?" she asked never looking away from his face. "Well if you're busy then I'll just-" he said turning to walk away. "No" she said a little too loudly making him turn to face her again. "I mean since you're in the neighborhood, you wanna go for a walk or something?" she asked blushing and looking away from the intensity of his eyes. "Sure" he said gesturing for her to go first, "ladies first."
Casey was a bundle of nerves, she had never felt this way with Cappie. Even on their first official date she wasn't this nervous. Everything had always come so easy between them. She chanced a quick look at him only to find him staring back at her. They both look away quickly.
"So how's life been?" she heard Cappie say a few moments later. "Um, okay I guess." She said rubbing her hand up her arm nervously. "How bout you?" she asked glancing at his face but he was staring straight ahead. "About the same," he said and then changing the subject, "we missed you at the party this weekend. "It wasn't the same without the ZBZ gals there." He said smiling at her slightly. "Yeah, I heard about that," she told him looking anywhere but him.
After a few more minutes of awkward silence and weird glances Cappie finally broke the silence. "So I wasn't just in the neighborhood," Casey looked at him giving him her patented 'no duh' look. "I came to see you." He said stopping and grabbing her arm. "I wanted to talk to you about what happened." He said looking into her eyes as if he were searching for something. Casey glanced down at her arm where his hand was now resting. Cappie moved his eyes to where she was looking and took his hand away as if he had been burned. "Sorry" he mumbled.
He walked over to a nearby bench and sat down, gesturing for her to sit next to him, she did. "So word on the street is you broke up with Max." he said looking at her profile as she stared down at her hands in her lap. "Yeah, he wasn't the guy I wanted to be with," she told him looking straight ahead before turning and looking at him boring holes into his eyes.
Cappie's breath caught in his throat before he recovered. "Case-" he started to say but she cut him off, "No if you're just gonna tell me that it's a post-traumatic whatever, then I don't want to hear it." She told him starting to stand only to find herself being pulled back down by Cappie's hand. "I wasn't going to say that," he told her not letting go of her arm and looking into her eyes. "I don't want to be the one to screw up your plans Case, I don't want you to look back and wish that you had stayed with Max." he told her looking away from the intensity of her eyes once more.
"Cappie" she said placing her hand on his cheek and making him look at her, "I told you three weeks ago that I wanted to be with you and I meant it." She searched his eyes trying to make him understand. "I meant it then and I mean it now and I'll mean it in ten years. I want you, you are the guy that I want to be with. Max was perfect," he tried to look away but she held his eyes, "but he wasn't perfect for me. You are the only guy in the world that knows me."
"No one in this world compares to you" she told him stealing his line. "I want to be with you in ten years, it's fate, it's meant to be so I know that it's going to be." "Look I know that you're scared and you have no reason to trust me, and I'm willing to wait for you, I just want you to know that I lov-"
The rest of what she was about to say was cut off by Cappie's lips. Before she could even finish her sentence he was kissing her, leaning into her and holding her close. It took her a moment to respond out of pure shock. And then she was kissing him back with just as much vigor.
They finally pulled away for breath and she rest her forehead on Cappie's. "Stupid" he said panting slightly. "What?" she asked pulling back a little. "I was an idiot Case, I should have just told you how much I wanted you and loved you that night in the closet. I was just scared and stupid and-" "Shut up and just kiss me, we'll talk later" she told him as she pulled him in for another kiss.
Cappie wasn't going to argue with her, feeling her mouth on his again, he would never turn that away again. He didn't know why he had done it before. He was just glad that she was here now and that they were together. This felt right, this was where they belonged. She was his soulmate and he was hers. They would work out the details later, right now they had some lost time to make up for.
