"does carol paciol work here?" i asked, he nodded, "well? can you go get her for me please? now." 10 minutes later i was sitting at one side of her desk.
"how can i help you miss keyes?"
"yes, im with the police, and i was wondering, has a tanya micheall came in recently?" she nodded,
"yes, shes about 3 months into her pregnancy."
"what else do you know about her?" i asked,
"she used to do drugs but shes recently stopped...it normally takes her a while to pay..something about finding clients to write papers for. i have her address...hold on." she dug through her desk and jotted something down. "normally i dont give out info but... well if itll help then this is what i can give you." she handed me the paper, causing me to gasp,
"have you ever met the father of the baby?"
"well...a man came with her once. his name was bryan marsun, he mightve been the father, but i dont know for sure." i nodded,
"thank you. so much." then i relized i was late for my class at the college, i drove super fast to my college, where i quietly slid into class, even though it had already started. the teacher made me stay late in class because i came late and didnt have time to complete my test. by the time i got home, it was already midnight, and the lights were off all over the apartment. i checked in our room, and found him laying in bed peacefully.
i walked back to the living room, where i began planning with isabell on the phone for how i was going to find tanya tomorrow. finally, at 3 am, casey woke up and relized i was finally home, and working,
"sammy," he rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms, "its 3 am, if youre planning on going to work tomorrow to do...whatever, then you need to come to bed," he yawned, "right now."
"caseyyyyyyyyyy..." he grabbed both my hands, after pulling me up, his lips attacked mine. a few minutes later, i broke the kiss but my hands stayed resting on his hips, he pulled me into another kiss and i murmmered against his lips, "case. i thought we were going to sleep...?" he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me even more than before,
"we were...but this... is so better." i smiled against his lips as his hands up my curves and through my hair. my hands went up from his hips, up the muscles on his arms, to his chest were i rested my hands and continued kissing my oh-so-wonderful fiance. one of my hands went through his hair as the doorbell rang.
i broke the kiss, we were both breathing heavily as i walked to the door and opened it.
"anna? warren? what are you doing here? its 3 am for petes sake!" she handed me a stack of envelopes, i yawned, "whats this? and whys its so important that you need to give it to me at 3 am?"
"the electricitys out. and the heat. and the water." she shivered, "you didnt pay the bills for this month." i groaned,
"im so sorry! ill go do it now. you guys can stay here for now if you want..." they flopped down on the couch as i went to grab my checkbook. casey appeared from the bedroom doorway wearing a shirt,
"anna? dad? ITS 3 AM!" he yelled, i rested my hand on his chest as i read the legal things,
"chill case, i just forgot to pay the bills so they dont have any lights, heat or water. which sucks." i started signing checks and putting the amounts. finally, i stuffed the checks into the envelopes and handed them (one by one) to anna, "ok...thats for heating, water and... lights. im really sorry i forgot.." she hugged me tightly,
"thank you! and its not your fault dont worry." warren gave me a quick hug goodnight as well before saying,
"night sammy. night casey." he yawned as they walked back to my apartment. casey shut the door and pulled me into our bedroom, where we actually almost went to sleep. id just curled up next to him and was about to go to sleep, when the doorbell rang...again. casey groaned,
"are we ever going to get to sleep around here?" it was anna and warren all over again, "well?" casey snapped, "whats so important that you had to wake us up again?" i elbowed him,
"casey! but really, what happened?"
"according to anna, its too cold there for a human to possibly sleep in," i grimiced, "so is it ok if we crash in the guest room?" i nodded and let them auto-walk themselves to the guest room. i closed the door and casey tsked,
"youre practically asleep. come on." he put an arm around my waist and led me to our room, where this time, i got to sleep.
why did i smell pancakes? the last time i had pancakes was like...forever ago. so how come i smell them now? i looked to my right and found casey soundly asleep, mesmerized by the smell, i walked straight towards the kitchen...to find anna making pancakes.
"oh good morning samantha! youre finally awake! you and casey sleep a lot! its already 10:30!" i jumped to,
"10:30! man! i have to go im already late for work...again! oi!" i quickly threw on a pair of jeans, a tshirt and a pair of hightops, and just as i was about to leave, casey called,
"yo sammy! you forgot all of your work stuff. and your car keys, and your cell phone. are you walking to work or what?" i did an immeadiate U turn and collected the rest of my stuff. then i kissed him on the cheek, grabbed a bite of his breakfast and after calling a quick bye to anna and warren i ran out to my car.
the first place i went was to bryan marsuns house. i parked about a block down, so that i could look into the window. sure enough, tanya was laying in bed with him. i snuck in through the back door, and crept to the bedroom.
"tanya?" i asked, startled, she woke up. he eyes widened. "thats what i thought. you need to come with me, as well as your boyfriend too." she shook bryan awake and as soon as he saw me he screamed,
"howd you get in my house?" i smirked,
"try locking your back door next time." i brought them back to the police station, and we went through all of the legal stuff until finally, tanya, bryan and her parents had an agreement. tanya would live with bryan on the weekdays, and her parents on the weekends. for the rest of the day, i cleared everything up for them. finally melissa gave me a huge 'thank you' hug, and i was free to go home.
it was 6:30 when i got home, and i hadnt eaten all day. so when i got inside, casey, anna and warren were sitting at the table eating pasta, that im guessing anna made. i tsked and grabbed a plate for myself,
"you acostas show tons of respect you know that?" anna laughed,
"i know! they can be so selfish at times right!" i noticed that she hadnt even started eating yet, i scoffed,
"you know it." i sat down next to casey and grabbed the dish of pasta,
"hey we were hungry!" warren protested, "i hadnt eaten since lunch!"
"me neither!" casey protested, i scooped some pasta onto my plate.
"at least you guys ate! i havent eaten all day! the only thing ive eaten is when i stole a bit of caseys breakfast. sheesh." immeadiatly they looked guilty, i twirled some spaghetti onto my fork and said, "thats what i thought," we finished dinner and i went to change into something much more comfortable...meaning sweats and a tanktop. casey walked into our bedroom and smiled,
"hey wuz up?" i asked, he laughed, "did you go to work today?" i tried again, he shook his head,
"nope. i got the week off." my jaw dropped,
"what!" i squealed, "thats not fair." i huffed and sat down on the bed. he sat down next to me, then he put his arms around my stomach,
"you just misssssssssss me...admit it sammy...you missssssssss me!" i pushed him off of me,
"i do not. i just think its not fair that you get a week off and i dont." he laughed and his lips attacked mine again, "did anna turn in those checks?" i asked attempting to shove him off of me. he nodded, and attacked my lips again, i let him kiss me until someone cleared their throat, anna. i shot casey a look, and he smirked at me,
"hey anna." he said after clearing his throat, she frowned,
"hello. since you payed all the bills, we'll be going back to our apartment ok?" casey nodded, before turning around, she gave casey a sharp look, "be good. understand?" he saluted,
"yes ma'am!" causing her to glare at him once again, he pulled a face, "what did i do?" he complained,
"samantha could you please watch him? he can be so childish sometimes and lose his mind. especially when hes with you."
i say, "hey!" even though shes right, "fine. ill watch the little baby." i smirked as casey called,
"DAD!" i giggled as warren came running in,
"what? what happened casey? whats wrong?" he noticed me and anna smiling, "all right. whatd you do to him?"
"do you happen to think that us girls are increadibly evil or something?" i asked, oh-so-innocently, "i mean, we wouldnt dare do anything to casey. right anna?" she nodded in agreement,
"never..."
"casey. honestly? they wouldnt do anything to you!" he sighed and lead anna out the door. casey looked at me with a look of dispair. i guess i sorta felt bad because i knew how he felt. so i laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his.
"sorry babe." i kissed him again, "but i always have to stand up for the womens side. its, like, a law." the look on his face was priceless, as i ran my fingers through his hair, i felt him press his lips harder to mine. 5 hours later, i was exahusted, casey, on the other hand, was very hyper. every time i tried to close my eyes to sleep, he'd pounce on me and say,
"come on sammy, wake up!" i groaned as he kissed my neck,
"caseyyy im tired though." he sighed,
"come on sammy. you can sleep in the morning, i looked at the clock, it was 12:08,
"time to go to sleep!" i said with a smile, he to looked at the clock, and flipped me back over,
"fine. ill let you off this once. just this once." he said as i curled up next to him, the last thing i thought was, im so lucky to have casey.
