Alex gently cupped Casey's face, moaning softly into her lips. Casey drew Alex nearer to her. Both, taking shallow breaths here and there. A rough kiss, transforming to a loving, kind one. Tongues, battling for power.
"I love you." Alex mumbled through the kiss. Alex somehow found her way to Casey's shirt and slowly unbuttoned every button and slid the blouse off. She leaned to let her lips trail down Casey's jawbone, and then to her neck, slowly delivering shivers all across Casey's body.
Casey's thoughts were clouded, all of her morals and decisions she had before she entered Alex's apartment were now thrown out the window. It was as if Alex cast a spell over her and she could not think clearly.
Alex moved back up to Casey's lips. The kiss was possessive and heated and Casey wrapped her arms tightly around Alex's supple frame.
Alex paused the kiss and gazed into Casey's eyes questioningly, "You didn't-"
Casey crashed her lips on Alex's to shut her up. A pause would mean Casey would think about her actions and right now she just wanted to live in the moment and oh, it felt so good. However, Alex broke the kiss once again.
Casey rolled her eyes, "Fuck, Alex. You really know how to ruin a moment." Casey's hands fell to her sides.
"You didn't say I love you back…" Alex voice faltered. She stifled a cry.
"Wow, are you serious?" Casey said, with an ounce of disbelief. She reached down and grabbed her shirt.
"We were just about to…I would think that..."
"This was a mistake. Alex, did you really expect me to forgive you in a matter of seconds, just because we were about to..." Casey trailed off and moved away from Alex and immediately began to pace.
Casey could not help but think, what the fuck was she about to get herself into?
"I meant, it hurts that we are not a couple…It hurts that you cannot even tell me that you love me…because I love you so much Case, even more than life itself… and if you just give us a chance just one more time, just one more time, I swear I will make sure of it, I will make sure that …you and I will always be on my mind. Not my job, not myself, just us." Alex pleaded and took Casey's hand. "Please, this one last chance…even you know its three strikes you're out…" Alex attempted to joke.
Casey smiled, "You are making my life harder than it should be," she began, "I don't think there is anything to be fixed…but you have to tell me, are you still leaving to Florida?" Casey asked hesitantly.
Alex smiled, "If you take me back, baby, I will tell them to ship everything back here, to this apartment."
This is what Casey wanted all along, however, she has a girlfriend, a loving one at that. "I want to, but I am with Abbie now and I want to see where we go together as a couple…I am afraid of getting hurt by you again Alex. This is not the first time I got hurt by you and –"
"You are going for the safe pick…" Alex interrupted. "What can I do? What do I have to do so you can trust me and love me again enough to tell me?" Alex replied with hurt inflected in her voice.
"You be you…you said you'd fight for me? Then fight for me, Alex. Show me that you were the Alex I fell in love with…and with that, do not fight dirty, and if I see another scratch on Abbie, I will call this all off." Casey acquiesced.
Alex smirked and nodded, "That is fair." She disagreed, but if agreeing takes her one step closer to Casey well be it.
"I must tend to my girlfriend…" Casey smiled and pulled out her phone, oblivious to Alex's suddenly disappointed expression.
The whole ride to her apartment, Casey thought of the ways to break it to Abbie about the events that occurred in Alex's apartment.
She strolled into her apartment, only to see Abbie asleep, on the couch. A smile slowly forming at her lips as she revered Abbie's glowing features and soft snore as she slept.
Gaining an overwhelming feeling that someone was watching her, Abbie stirred a little and slowly opened her eyes, confused as to where she was.
Taking in her surroundings, she noticed Casey by her. "You know… it is kind of creepy to wake up to someone staring at you?"
Casey chuckled, "You were beautiful…I could not help myself."
Abbie slowly sat up and brought Casey to lean on her shoulder. "Well thank you."
Casey sat upright, "I need to tell you something..."
Worried, Abbie quickly asked, "What?"
"I went to Alex's apartment, and I told her if she goes near you again I will teach her a lesson, but we ended up kissing… I told her I still feel something for her and she just crashed her lips on me…I kissed back and she ended it…um, she isn't going to Florida anymore, but I told her I want to be with you. I also told her if she wants me she has to work harder than that…and I told her to be true to her word and fight for me." Casey breathed.
"Wow…ok, so you still have feelings for her?" Abbie asked a distraught.
"Yes, but, I do not think they are even that strong, or else I would have ended us, and I do not want that. I want you and I want to see where we go…I am sorry for the kiss…I thought maybe Alex and I were not in a bad place after all, but the kiss just confirmed it." Casey answered. It felt right to be with Alex and It felt even better to be with Abbie. She needs something new in her life and something lasting.
"So, does this mean I will have to fight for your love too, because, I just want to say that, I will fight as hard to keep you happy and that means you aren't getting hurt, by me or anyone else who tries." Abbie smiled. If Casey decided to stay with her over Alex, that spoke for something.
Casey chuckled, "I love you." Casey moved forward to kiss her lover.
"I love you, too." Abbie smiled through the kiss.
AN: Sorry for the long time no update, but really busy and school, and writers block combined is a deadly poison. I will try to start updating this week. What do you think? Abbie? Alex and Casey's kiss? Who will win Casey's heart?
