I woke up in bed and heard someone talking quietly. suddenly the door and i turned my head to see casey standing there. i started with the most obvious question,

"what happened?"

"you tripped over...something or another, and hit your head on the wall, then you fainted." he answered. everything came flooding back to me...lawrence...greg... my theory...everything. casey walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, he helped me sit up, then kissed me on the lips.

"are you ok? you look really pale." he asked when he pulled away.

"im fine...actually im kinda hungry." i started to get up but casey lightly pushed me back down.

"what do you want to eat? ill make it for you." he promised.

"casey i can get it myself...did you guys clean up that huge mess?"

"no its fine ill get it. ya. its all clean."

"ok if you insist..." i looked up at him, "do we have any mac-n-cheese? and salsa?" he smirked,

"ya. lemme guess...mac-n-salsa? im on it."

"thanks case." i said with a smile.

"of course ma'am," he said with a deep bow, which made me laugh. as soon as he left the room, i quietly slipped out of bed, and tip-toed into lawrences room where i found a green folder on his bed. i flipped it open...it had numerous names of jewlery stores and banks all over the USA.

"yes!" i whispered to myself. i snuck out of the guest room and into mine and caseys, where i slipped the folder into my work bag. i smiled to myself and casually walked into the kitchen where i wrapped my arms around caseys waist from behind. he sorta jumped and turned around. when he saw it was me, he laughed and put down the spoon he was using. my hands traveled up and around his neck and his traveled around my waist. i stood on my tip-toes and kissed him. the kiss got deeper and deeper until we heard someone clear their throat. we broke away and turned around to find lawrence standing there.

"there are 2 people at the door to see you." i looked at casey, who shrugged.

"watch the water, its gonna boil soon. ill go get the door." i kissed him lightly once more and headed towrads the door. there at the door stood caseys dad, warren, and his stepmom, anna. anna was wonderful, casey and i both loved her.

"anna! warren!" i exclaimed.

"sammy! how nice to see you again!" anna exclaimed squeezing me in a hug, when she released me i hugged warren and stepped aside to let them come in. i took their suitcases and put them aside.

"sammy!" casey called, "whos at the door?"

"come and see for yourself!" i called back. i heard him groan and he asked lawrence to watch my mac-n-cheese.

"ugh sammy why cant you just- dad! anna!" he exclaimed as anna squeezed him in a hug.

"goodness casey! do you ever eat? your stomach is as hard as a rock!" she exclaimed. i laughed. warren and casey sorta just waved at each other, which made anna and me roll our eyes. behind me, someone cleared their throat, we turned to see lawrence standing about a yard away from me akwardly.

"so does anyone want to enlighten me on who these 2 people are?" lawrence asked. not really. i thought. aparently casey didnt mind 'enlightening' him.

"this is my dad, warren acosta, and my stepmom, anna acosta. this is lawrence cantel...hes preforming a speech at my college tomorrow night but his hotel reservations expired or something, so hes staying with us for now." hes also a theif. i thought, of course i didnt say that outloud...

"oh! should we reserve a hotel and stay there then?" anna asked.

"you can stay in sammys apartment." casey volunteered.

"case, marissas there remember?"

"oh ya...cant she stay with holly or dot? its your apartment after all..."

"i can ask." i called marissa, who said it was fine, that shed go stay with holly and dot. i hung up the phone, and was about say that itd be fine when casey handed me a bowl of mac-n-salsa.

"finally! thanks. oh! and marissa said it'd be fine." so while i ate my mac-n-salsa casey introduced them to my apartment (which was a few floors down) and lawrence claimed that his hotel called and said that they had a room open. i texted casey and told them they could stay with us now, but casey texted me back saying that theyd already unpacked and that theyd just stay here. lawrence left before casey got back, i watched him go out the door, i felt much more relieved now that he was gone.

when i finished my lunch/dinner, i began washing dishes till suddenly i felt someones arms around my waist. i smirked, turned off the water, and dryed my hands. then i spun around and put my hands around caseys neck and we kissed. when we pulled apart, he whispered in gasps,

"hi sammy." i smiled and replied,

"hi." before kissing him again. we forgot about the dishes and went to bed, and even though id only woken up about 2 hours ago, i was exhausted, and we both fell asleep quickly.
