Hey guys, it's been a little over a month since my last update. I would have written it last weekend but I was hoping for more reviews. Come on guys, I need my reviews, it's my fix. I'm sick with a horrible cold and typing for you so you guys should appreciate it lol.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the Greek characters because if I did, it would have aired already! (hint hint, producers!)
So I realized what my writing needed. A little more detail. I never really did give a good description for any of the characters, if any. I'm going to try and incorporate that so we can get a really good visual on all the characters and how I picture them. Oh, and I don't do sex scenes anymore. I'm really bad at them and I just make it seem incredibly awkward...so just expect a lot of hints on what they do.
Enjoy!

"Wow, Jennifer, this is amazing," I said, with my mouth slowly savoring the mac and cheese.
"Thanks, Evan. It's even better when you don't have to reheat it after letting it sit out for 40 minutes," she said, winking at me before sipping at her ice tea, her brown locks falling from behind her ears. Her hazel eyes had flickered when her bangs had stung her eyes a little, but she quickly blinked them away. "So Cappie, it took you...what? A day to find this one? You should have seen the pricks he brought home before. I was 'fortunate' enough to meet some of them." She was quickly hushed by Cappie's foot kicking her knee in irritation, making the table shudder.
"So, who did you bring home before? Like, what type of guys did you like?" I said, hoping that asking him wouldn't be something I'd regret.
"Well, I was sort of attracted to really...sensitive guys," he said.
"In other words, he brought total queens home. Oh, and even a couple of girls," Jennifer said, followed by another shudder from the table. I nearly choked on the water I was drinking. Cappie liked really girly guys...AND girls? So, why me? I mean, I didn't find myself to be particularly effeminate.
"Alright, new subject," Cappie quickly said, hoping to erase whatever just happened.
"No, come on. You gotta give me more than that, Cap," I muttered, almost whispered, to him. My eyes were completely stuck on his. His green eyes on my blue ones.
"Ev, we'll talk about this later, without my big-mouthed cousin sitting right across from us," he said a little sternly.
"Ugh, spoil sport. Well, I'm finished here, you guys seem pretty much done, too. Let me get those for you," she insisted while grabbing the plates on the table.
"No, let me. You already cooked for me and Cappie, let me at least help with the dishes," I more than insisted while starting to stand up, hoping to sound like my tone hasn't completely changed since the beginning of the dinner.
"Oh, please. You're the guest, just go and make yourself comfortable. I'll pop in a movie when I'm done," she said, practically shoving me toward the couch. "You, too. Go relax and I'll do the dishes," she added to Cappie before motioning toward the couch.
As I sat on the couch, Cappie had wrapped his arm around me, flipping his chestnut hair out of his eyes. All you could hear was the sound of running water coming from the kitchen, along with plates clattering. I could feel his heartbeat beating faster underneath me. It seemed to practically burst out of his chest, pounding away like a jackhammer.
"So...what do you wanna do? It's only 8:15," Cappie asked in a vulnerable tone I've never heard him use before.
"Cappie, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, okay?" I reassured him, his eyes seeming to calm as I did.
"I mean, we should talk about it, Ev. I just don't think it's the place or time to talk about it, yet? I mean we JUST met," he said, piercing a hole in my heart. I mean, I knew that we did just meet, but I just thought we were falling so quickly that we'd be at that level by now.
"Well, yeah. You're right. Let's just forget about it. Let's pop in a movie or something. Ask Jennifer what she wants to watch," I said, a little irritable.

We ended up watching Austin Powers. I would usually be laughing hysterically, but I just wasn't in the mood. I kept thinking about Cappie's past. What, or who, did he not want to talk about? My mind was racing a mile a minute with all the different possibilities: an abusive relationship, somebody could have cheated on him, he could have cheated on...Alright, maybe we shouldn't go down this road. Thinking about all the potential flaws that he might have isn't helping anybody.
I could smell him again. It intoxicated me, making me focus on nothing but it's abundance of what could only be described as "Cappiesque." I'm going to make sure it ends up in all the modern dictionaries and encyclopedias with a little scratch and sniff right by the word. I can't keep going back and forth though. My thoughts can't go from thinking horrible possibilities about Cappie to wanting to put his smell into books everywhere. It feels like I'm in some sort of mental tug-of-war, one side pulling for perfection, the other pulling for flaws.
"Hey, Cap I'm getting kind of tired. I'm going to head to bed," I said, pretending to sound drowsy when really I was wide awake. Jennifer had already dozed off near the beginning. All that traveling must have done a number on her.
"Sure, Ev. Let's go," he said, almost sympathetic.
"No, that's alright Cappie. Finish the movie first, I'll be fine."
"You sure? You don't need your 'Sugar Daddy' to keep you warm?" he asked, a little teasingly.
"Nah, you'll be there later. I can handle getting to bed by myself, thank you," I said playfully. "Just make sure to wake up Jen so she could sleep better than having her neck craned in that angle for the rest of the night." Cappie glanced over to Jennifer and chuckled at her. Her neck was practically forming a right angle.
"Alright, Ev. Night," he said kissing me lightly on the lips before I walked to his room and closed the door behind me.

I took my shirt off and lay on his bed, resting my head so it wouldn't get a headache from all the thoughts rushing through my brain. So was Cappie gay and just date girls before he realized or was he bisexual. I know it shouldn't matter to me, but it does make somewhat of a difference. If he were bisexual, that would mean he could replace me with a guy or a girl. If he was bi, is he more attracted to males or females? Am I just a replacement to whatever he left behind from where he came from? Just some lifesize memory he could blow up and remember rather than just let it shrivel. Am I just an echo in his lovelife?
Murmurs from outside the bedroom had gotten me out of my dark trance. It was muffled but I could hear some words clearly. Cappie was having a conversation but he was the only one I heard. The phone must have rang, although I didn't hear it ring.
A clear 'bye' could be heard and tiny beep shortly following it. I got up from the bed and opened the bedroom door just enough so that I could hear what was going on.
"Hey, Jen. Wake up," Cappie demanded. I could hear Jennifer groan in frustration. "My ma and dad are coming home tomorrow night since there's no wedding to stay for...Hey! Jen...get your ass up. You don't deserve to sleep peacefully at the moment. I have to talk to you about what you did today."
"...MMUUH!...later...sfeepin..." Her speech sounded muffled, so her head must have been buried into the pillow in the armchair.
"No. Now, Jen! You can't just drop a bomb on Evan like that and not expect me to disturb your quiet slumber!" Cappie said, aggitated with Jen's mood.
"What bomb? Everybody has a past. Being bisexual is no big deal, Cappie. I mean.....it might be to Will. That's actually the real reason why I'm not getting married...he broke it off because I told him the truth about myself," she choked out, her tears streaming down her cheeks and onto the pillow.
"What? How the fuck could he do that? He's supposed to love you, the selfish prick!" Cappie said, his face turning pink with anger, but his face still holding a calm expression.
"Nope, I'm not wasting your energy or mine even plotting horrible sadistic things over him, no matter how incredibly fun that sounds at the moment..." she said, trailing off.
"Alright, but I don't want you thinking about him, Jen. You deserve better than him, J," Cappie said, comforting Jennifer with a tight hug.
"Thanks Cap-Cap. And you deserve better than that bitch Casey. She had no right to play with your emotions like that. I mean, she was your first love. The least she could have done was NOT cheat on you." Jennifer added, sniffling. My body stiffening with shock. I knew Cappie had a past but he was only so young. He seemed too young to be going through so much already.
I couldn't listen anymore. I lay back on the bed, paralyzed with all the information that had been said. Cappie's parents coming home early...Jen and Cappie being bi...Cappie falling in love with a girl and then to be savagely cheated on...it was all so overbearing that I passed out with the last words repeating over and over in my mind. 'I'll get back at that bitch if it's the last thing I do.'

So what'd you guys think? I know it's short and probably not worth the wait but it's what I could think of lol. BTW I am looking for some beta readers for this story. Although I'm not sure how it works, I would love some help with my story because I always seem to be in a slump. I promise this is leading somewhere...I just think it might take a bit to get there. And after I get the oh-so juicy conclusion to this story, I do plan on making a sequel on their college lives. I won't reveal much except that Casey will OBVIOUSLY be there and I do plan on incorporating Jennifer into the sequel, too. Maybe in small parts, maybe in big ones. We'll just have to see. And in the sequel, (I know I'm getting WAY ahead of myself, but I do plan on doing it because I REALLY don't want to discontinue I hate when authors do that, don't you?) I plan on giving parts to Franny, Ashley, and Beaver. MAYBE Rusty. But Beaver is so cute that I can't just write him off into never existing in my story....this is REALLY long and I'm getting so off-topic, so yeah...Betas are welcome to message me because I do need help...I have LOTS of writer's block (that's why I usually take a long time to update...sorry)
OKAY! That's enough! Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I plan on maybe typing up another one by Sunday...but we'll just have to see because I always say that kind of stuff, don't I? ^_^
Later! *_*
