Greek:
Chapter 7.
Casey groaned and tightened her closed eyes. Someone was knocking on her door. What time was it? Someone knocked again and Casey covered her ear.
"Ash, get that," she mumbled. The knocking continued. Annoyed, Casey opened her eyes and then snapped up to a sitting position. She wasn't home in her bed. She was in the backseat of her car. She looked to the right and she saw Cappie standing outside. He wore a smile but his blue eyes were clouded with exhaustion. For one hazy moment Casey didn't know what was happening but then the memories of an almost kiss clicked into place.
"Ow," she said as she slid over to the door. Her muscles were protesting after a night of sleeping crunched up in her back seat. Her head hurt and her stomach felt empty. All she wanted was to get home and take a hot shower.
Cappie stepped back as Casey opened the door and got out. The door banged closed behind her and she leaned against it. The sky was a pale blue and the moon was still visible in the sky.
"How do you feel?" Cappie asked cautiously, looking down at her in the pale light.
"Like hell," she said, self-consciously patting down her hair. Cappie watched her for a moment, his shoulders hunched and his hands in his pockets.
"Casey, about last night…" he started when the silence started becoming awkward.
"You were right, it would have been a mistake," Casey said cutting him off. "I meant what I said Cappie. We can't see each other anymore." She moved to walk away to the other side of the car but Cappie side stepped in front of her.
"Case, come on."
Casey looked up at him. His smile was still there and there was a hint of amusement in his voice telling her that he wasn't taking this seriously. He thought she was being silly.
"Just stay away from me," she said turning her back on him. He grabbed her arm before she could even take two steps away.
"What's this about? Yeah, we almost kissed last night but nothing happened. We've almost kissed lots of times and we actually did once, remember? Why are you taking this one so seriously?"
"Why are you not?" Casey retorted as she yanked her arm out of his grasp. True, they had almost kissed plenty of times while she was with Evan but she had never allowed herself to want it so much before. Except that one time when we actually did kiss. "Have you forgotten about Rebecca?"
"No, of course not but what does she have to do with us being friends?" Cappie asked. He was honestly confused as to why she was acting this way. Casey was trying to move on but being around him was making it entirely too difficult. She just didn't have the energy, or courage maybe, to explore the reason behind this with him so she just huffed and shook her head as she made her way to the driver's side door.
"Go home Cappie. Rebecca is probably waiting for you," she said as she yanked the door open.
"Casey," he pleaded. She locked eyes with him over the hood of the car for a moment but they were carefully neutral, showing no emotion.
Disappointed, Casey whispered a goodbye loud enough for him to hear before sliding into the car.
A/N: Hey everyone. Thanks for all the awesome reviews! I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I just thought that the moment between Casey and Cappie was too powerful to clutter it up with another scene. Casey is starting to realize her feelings for Cappie but is too scared to admit them so she runs away. Cappie doesn't understand whats going on and is hesitant about letting Casey see what he really wants. But I have a question for you guys. In this story Cappie is clearly hesitant about doing anything with Casey while he is with Rebecca, mainly because I have my own ideas about infidelity. But what about you guys? Would you hate it if Cappie cheated on Rebecca with Casey? Does it matter if its only kissing? It it okay since Casey and Cappie are clearly crazy for each other? I dunno, I'm struggling with this idea. Let me know what you think!
