Proposal #4?

"Forget it case. I should of just taken you to Tiffany's and let you pick the one you wanted. " He said throwing himself into his recliner.

They had just returned from proposal number four. He had hired a sky writer to write "Casey, marry me," in the sky. They were having a picnic in that park for Derek Birthday. She asked him what he wanted on his special day and he simply pointed up. When she saw it her eyes watered and of course she broke down. He sighed taking that as yet another no and decided it was time to go home.

She stared at him blankly.

"Sweet home Alabama," he muttered under his breath. He was disappointed that he actually knew that.

She smiled beaming in front of him. "You studied all those movies didn't you?" She was surprised by how much work he was putting in.

"Every sappy chick flick that ends with an I do. Because I know you're a sucker for that Case. So I worked and worked to give you the perfect proposal. I had to wait till the weather outside was perfect for the second one. I had to go through mission impossible for the third one. And you keep turning me down. There's just so many blows my ego can take Case." He stopped for a second debating whether or not he should say the rest of what was on his mind….He went for it. "Forget it… I don't wanna get married anymore. I'm not even sure if I wanna be with you. I thought we were ready. I mean we're practically married as it is but you don't want commit to me. Which is fine but…I'm sorry I can't be with you then." He said placing the now tattered velvet box on the coffee table. It has been through a lot that passed year.

"I really hope you don't mean that." She begged. He couldn't be leaving her. She was so close!

"Well I'm sorry Case- I do." He replied. He was really hopping that she'd just give in and say yes. He wasn't trying to guilt trip her but if she was really willing to break up with him that easily…it really wasn't worth the trouble.

She bit her lip and took in a big breath. "Just…Give me a month Der. That's all I'm asking for. No proposing, no rings, nothing romantic. Just wait. Give me a month's time." she explained. she sighed sadly. Maybe it was already too late…Maybe she had already lost him.

"Sure,whatever Casey," he said before walking away. He didn't know why she needed the time. He didn't even really know why he was willing to give it to her. But denying Casey was never an easy thing to do. However denying him seemed to be her second nature. It wasn't fair.

The new few days were pretty quiet with minimal conversation. He wasn't packing and he hadn't thrown her out. It seemed like he was giving her what she asked for. But if things continued the way…it was going to be a long hard month for her. Here's to hopping it all works out.

AN: DON'T KILL ME!

I'm sorry it took so long to update I really wanted to have this up yesterday but I ran into some problems.

I don't want you guys to think this is a filler chapter. I think this chapter was necessary. Casey and Derek never really actually talked to each other about it. And he's giving up - she has the right to know! And she finally admits to him that she just needs time.

I also know it was very short compared to the other chapters... but bare with me? It'll get better!

Also I'm sorry I didn't give much detail of the actual last proposal. But I didn't want it to become that repetitive. (PS. I believe that proposal was a reviewers suggestion.)

All your questions and frustrations will be answered in the next chapter I promise! And if it's not I will personally answer it for you!

Once again don't hate me!
