i think im addicted. not to chocolate. (well i guess in a way i am because caseys eyes remind me so much of chocolate, and i love those!) anyway, im not addicted to any of the bad stuff people do, no. nothing like that. i think im addicted to casey.

when i woke up that morning, laura and zoe were watching disney channel on the flat screen in our room, while casey was watching me. he was still in a laying down position, holding me close to him. laura was sitting on top of him, her eyes glued to the tv, and zoe was sitting criss-cross at the bottom of the bed.

when he saw my eyes flutter open, he smiled, "hey sams." i returned the smile to him easily and shifted in his arms, "you sleep well?" i nodded, but most of my attention was focused on his lips, his lips-which at the moment, i had a huge desire to kiss. i pulled myself to him and kissed his lips hard, he lightly pulled back- softening the kiss.

"ew!" we both lightly pulled away to find the source of our having to stop. of course, laura.

"tell me dear cuz, am i not letting you sit on me?" casey asked, sounding very annoyed that he had to stop kissing me because of the little girl. her disgusted face morphed into a very pouty face, "i thought so." he turned back to me and i propped myself up on his chest. he pulled me down and my arms slipped around him, as did his.

laura slid off of casey and sad down next to her sister, we turned, and one of my legs swung around his. suddenly i heard the front door open. the footsteps were enough for me to pull away from casey and gain my interest. i pushed myself up from my laying down position to see anna running in,

"samantha darling! im so glad youre finally up! we need to get going!" anna seemed to be out of breath, so she took a deeeeeeep breath, "so go get some clothes on and we can leave." she said really fast, i took a minute to figure out what she said.

" a) why are you so out of breath? b) where are we going? and c) whos coming?" she took another deep breath, and out came,

"ive been doing waaaay too much stuff for catherine, were going to finalize and buy your wedding dress and catherines coming and me and your friends will meet us there," at lighting speed. i replayed it in my head...much slower, and finally got what she was trying to say.

i figured that if i even tryed to fight, id lose, so anna was about to leave the room when casey complained,

"arent you even going to try and fight, sammy?" his brown choclaty eyes had a huge amount of sadness in them, i giggled and kissed the tip of his nose.

"nope. i know ill lose." he followed me to the bathroom like a sad puppy. i changed into a pair of dark jeans, and a white elbow length v-neck tshirt.

"well what are we supposed to do?" he asked, i shrugged,

"go do some chores...go see a movie at the theatres...plan for the wedding...theres so much you can do i cant even believe youd ask that." after pocketing my phone and clipping my keys to my belt loops, i grabbed a smoothie for the road and turned to casey one last time.

"do anything that'll keep you and the kids out of trouble-"

"youre telling me this?" his voice had a hint of amusment and saracasem, i glared and continued,

" if you get warren and colby to come watch them, you can go do something, if you want." i glance out in the hallway to check if anna and catherine were there yet; the hallway was still deserted. he leaned out to see what i was looking at, then pulled me back inside, and was again inturuppted from kissing me by tony.

"whats for breakfast?" i giggled as caseys annoyed face pulled away from me, and looked at his cousin. i quickly captured his lips in a kiss,

"listen," i placed two fingers under his chin and turned his face to mine to stop him from glaring at tony. "be nice, ok?" i pleaded,

"whats that supposed to mean?" he gaped,

"you know what it means. ill be back soon later, i love you." i kissed him tenderly again, before disappearing. as i arrived at (A/N: im just going to call 'sammys' apartment, 'warren and annas' k? cool.) warren and annas apartment, anna and a very slightly happy slightly annoyed catherine emerged.

"sammy!" anna enveloped me in a hug, "goodness, this women is truly annoyed by our wearing 'revealing' clothes!" she whispered in my ear. i rolled my eyes at the dramatisim going on in there, and lead the two women to my car, i twisted my key in the egnition, and music began blaring from the sterios. i winced and glanced at catherine, she was staring at it like it was contagious. i reached over to turn it off, but from the backseat anna swatted my hand away and, using her nails, she flipped through my CDs.

she handed me a CD, it was the mix tape from marissas parties...i slid it into the slot and Jason Mraz blared from my sterio, i turned down the volume and pulled out of the parking lot. my phone immediatly began buzzing in pocket. i attempted to pull out of the parking lot while answering my phone;

"hello?" i stopped to let a little girl chase after her ball, when she hopped back on the sidewalk i succeded my attemption to pull out,

"sammy? did you guys leave yet? because i think i want to come with you." i rolled my eyes,

"we're leaving now, and no, you cant come."

"why not? i dont want to babysit! ow!" im guessing the 'ow' was the the girls hitting him for calling them babies...

"now whos the baby?" i joked, "just kidding, just kidding! anyway, we'll be back soon ok? then maybe you and i can go do something for once." i could practically see his eyes light up,

"really?"

"mhmmm..." i focused on pulling into a parking spot at the dress shop id been too just a week ago. suddenly i felt like someone was watching me, i whipped around, but only saw a man walking towards a coffee shop...how come he looked so familiar, i squinted my eyes, thinking.

"sammy?" caseys voice snapped me out of my thoughts,

"yeah im here, but i need to go- we just got here." i racked my brains again, thinking hard.

"ok babe, see you later, i love you." i smiled to myself,

"yeah, love you too. see you soon case," marissa, holly and dot pulled up and hugged me 'hi.' we went inside and the 5 of them began debating about which dress to buy, i kept glancing behind my shoulder; it felt like someone was following me...

"sammy, are you ok?" anna asked, gotta love anna, i forced a smile,

"i think so...it feels like someones following me though..." she frowned, and 15 minutes later wed finally decided on the strapless dress that wed put on hold. i pulled out my credit card and waited patiently as the woman at the desk wrapped the dress in a huge box and handed it to me.

"should i take it to my house for now, sammy?" i was really becoming paranoid now, "sammy?" i was looking behind my shoulder again,

"um, yeah sure, 'riss." she nodded,

"ok see you tonight." i turned to look at her,

"tonight?" she nodded,

"are you ok?" i nodded, "anyway, anna invited us for dinner tonight...weren't you listening?" catherine was studying me intently.

"um, yeah of course. i just forgot. ready to go?" i asked anna and catherine, i hugged my friends goodbye and drove back home to the sound of ke$has 'we r who we r.' i unlocked the door to me and caseys apartment, and heard squeals from the bedroom. catherines eyes were wide, while annas and mine were rolling.

we casually walked to the bedroom to find both girls on top of casey, warren and colby tickling them, and tony was on the floor texting. i raised my eyebrows,

"really, boys! beaten by a 10 and 2 year old."

"just...get...them...off...of...me!" he said between a fit of laughs.

"alright girls, let them breathe." anna crossed her arms from behind me. they sighed and hopped off of the boys, allowing them to breathe. they took a deep breath and glared at the innocent-looking girls. i sat down next to casey and laughed,

"what did they do to you exactly?" zoe nudged laura, and right on cue, she began to whimper,

"nothing...but they were being so mean to us...and we just wanted to play." she whimpered, acting even more innocent. i looked at the 3 men, they immediatly began protesting, i rolled my eyes.

"honestly? fighting with little girls?" they bowed their heads shamefully, "mm. thats what i thought."

"im hungryyy!" zoe complained, so everyone except me and casey filed out to get some food, agreeing with the 10 year old for once. anna gave me a wink and closed the door behind them. i lie down next to casey and interwined our fingers together,

"lets make an agreement," i turned to look at him,

"whats the agreement?" i asked,

"we wait to have kids." i laughed, then sat up and swung my leg around his stomach to sit on top of him. his fingers traced down the middle of my shirt, and mine traced his lips. i leaned down and captured his lips perfectly. perfectness- 4th of july fireworks, and a taste of sweetness so wonderful, that i needed more- sprung inside me.

his hand cupped my cheek and he deepend the kiss, pushing his tongue past my lips, he turned on his side, and pulled me closer to him. a knock on the door inturrupted us,

"time for lunch kids!" anna called from through the door, we untangled our fingers from throughout each others hair,

"casey, come on..." i tugged on his arm, "im hungry." he groaned as i pulled him into the kitchen were warren and colby were looking in the fridge, warren smiled.

"i love your guys's hair! have you guys been to pretty vegas's stylest recently?" besides the fact that we both blushed, even i had to laugh a little, "anyway, we're out of soda." i unhooked caseys keys from caseys belt loop, my hand skimmed his waist before resting on his hip. i kissed his lips hungrily,

"hey! we are still here!" colby exclaimed, caseys hand reached up the back of my shirt and kissed me harder.

"casey." warren warned, "dont make me ban you from ever kissing sammy again." we jerked away and glared at him,

"ill be back," i drove the nearest Albersons, and bought 1 liter of coke, 1 liter of Dr. Pepper, and 1 liter of pepsi. i walked to the cash register; and as the man rang up the sodas, i dug through my wallet looking for my credit card. finally, i found it and looked up...to see a man with dark brown hair, and bright blue eyes smiling at me. the same man id seen at the dress shop, i couldnt help staring as i handed over my card,

"would you like some help carrying all of those out?" he asked,

"s-sure," i stuttured, he took 2 of the bottles while i carryed the 3rd out to my car. the whole way i tried to remember if id ever dealt with him before, i unlocked my car and we loaded up the sodas. i slammed the trunk closed and turned to thank him,

"thanks for the help." he smiled,

"no need to thank me," suddenly his arm curved around my waist and he pushed his lips into mine. i was shocked, i attempted to push him away, but he was too strong, he forced his hands up my shirt and under my tanktop.

finally, i managed to use my strength to push him off,

"what are you doing?" i screamed,

"...kissing you..?"

"why?"

"because i like you?" i raised my hand, and slapped him across the face,

"you cant do that! im engaged!" i spun on my heel and pulled out of the parking lot. on the drive home, the speedometer needle never went below 50. finally i parked and sat in my seat, tired of being so furious. i calmed myself down, before texting casey to come down. i pulled myself out of the car and leaned against the door, running tired fingers through my already messy hair.

suddenly i felt my chin being tipped up, and fear overtook my eyes, i calmed down when i saw it was just casey. i sighed as he kissed me, for the first time in forever, i kissed him with fear, and guilt mixed together.

he pulled away, "whats wrong baby?" tears were spilling down my cheeks by this point,

"it wasnt my fault casey! i swear!" he cocked his head at me,

"what isnt?" tears kept spilling as i told him what happened, when i was finished, i avoided his gaze. i felt his fingers clean the tears from my eyes and face, "shh...its ok." he pulled me into a hug as he massaged my back,

"i love you, casey." i could feel his lips at my ear,

"i love you too. now lets go upstairs ok? everyones waiting for us and the sodas." i giggled and we brought the sodas up and ate our lunch. after lunch i stuck to caseys side like glue, not letting anyone else tear us apart for even a second.

that evening, i was laying my head in caseys lap reading, while casey was sitting upright in our bed reading, when suddenly he closed his book and tossed it aside. i looked up, and he grabbed my book too, then lie down next to me and began to randomly kiss me. his hands wandered around under my shirt, and mine worked at tearing his off.

one minute we were doing that, the next, we were pulling apart, and sitting up to see who had inturrupted us by opening the door.

catherine. heather came up from behind her,

"aunt catherine-"she was cut off by catherines gasp, heather looked inside our room, "whats wrong?" she asked, as she was used to opening the door on us.

"what do you mean 'whats wrong'? casey what is the meaning of this?" he glanced at me, and gulped, heather laughed,

"oh, you mean them? get used to it, they do that all the time. even before they were engaged theyd do that!" catherine was still looking at us, her eyes as wide as saucers,

"all the time," she managed to choke out, casey pulled me closer to him and i tossed him a worried glance,

"hm." that 'hm,' showed just how much she hated me. "anyway, theres a man at the door for you, sally." she looked at me suspiciously,

"sammy." i corrected, straightening my shirt, i walked to the door with casey following me like a lovesick puppy. heather was talking to the man (?) at the door, when casey and i got there, she immediatly moved and i raised my eyes from the floor to find... the stalker dude who kissed me.

i gasped, and my nostrils flared as i slammed the door closed, and stormed to my room. slamming the door closed behind me,i sprawled into my bed, and dug my face into my pillow. one door opening later,

"hey." i forced the tears not to slide down my face, "you wanna tell me whats with slamming the door in the guy that is presumibly sitting in our living room's face?" i shot up,

"hes sitting in our living room?" i practically screamed, he nodded slowly,

"sooo...?" i sighed,

"remember this afternoon? when i went to go get the soda? well remember the...incident?" he nodded slowly, luckily for his smartness, i didnt have to say another word.

"thats him?" he exclaimed, i plopped my head back down into the pillow, and pulled him down on top of me. his laugh was muffled into my shirt, he twisted himself off of me and kissed my neck lightly, "should i get the perv outta here? or do you wanna talk to him?" i turned around and pulled caseys neck down,

"I think...that you should leave him out there...and stay in here with me." i closed the gap between us with a kiss. he rolled his eyes,

"ill be back." he murmurred against my lips. i sighed as he handed me my laptop to entertain me, i opened it up, and popped up my email. a forward was sent to me by marissa, it went like this,

Don't settle for the guy that calls you HOT,

Wait for the one that calls youBeautiful.

Don't settle for the guy that makes out with youwhen you have a bad day,

Wait for the one that cuddles you and will tell you,"It's gonna be ok."

Don't settle for the guy that texts you saying, "g2g. 3 u, bye."

Wait for the one who texts you saying, "i dont want 2 stop tlking 2 u."

Don't settle for the guy that keeps you from his friends,

Wait for the one that points to you and tells them,"That's my girlfriend."

Don't settle for the guy that texts you until 3 am,

Wait for the one that really wants to talk to you, but lets you sleep.

Tonight at10:00, that very one will realize heloves you.. You may notnotice it right away, but he will let you know, trust me. This coming Thursday will be the bestday of your life, but onlyif you forward this to at least 10people! If you don't, you'll havebad luck forA LONG TIME!

If you delete this you will die in the next week, NO JOKE! THIS HAS BEEN PROVED!

0-5 People: You will have the worst life ever lived and will never be happy from this moment on!

6-10 People: You will have a lot of trouble finding the right one, and he won't come for a long time.

11-15 People: You have already found your true love, and you will live happy lives.

16-20+ People: You will be the happiest person alive and everything you've ever wanted will happen!

of course, only marissa would send me something like that. i deleted it, after all, i already had casey, i didnt need one of those stupid forwards. besides, they never even work, so why do people send them if they dont work? probably just coincedence playing its little game, and people think it totally works.

something crashed from the living room, jolting me out of my thoughts, i jumped up and ran to the living room. casey was threateningly holding up a glass- he looked ready to throw it at him.

"get out!" casey yelled, although still fuming, he stalked to the door,

"dont think this is over! cause its not!" he threatened casey, but only before slamming the door behind him. casey smirked and lowered the glass, giving a satasfactory nod, he walked into the kitchen. i quietly snuck behind him, and as he took a sip from his can of coke, i wrapped my arms around him.

the effect i got? he spit out his coke everywhere! including me, and himself, my hands flew off his waist,

"ew, casey!" i exclaimed, shaking my hands trying to get it off.

"Dingggg-Dongggg," the doorbell chimed, still laughing, i opened the door to find my friends, their fiances, anna, catherine,colby, heather and warren standing there.

"oh! i totally forgot! ugh," i shook my hands again, trying to dispose of the soda that was now drying up and becoming extremly sticky.

"what happened?" holly asked, they stepped inside, and immediatly catherine and colbys children rushed into their open arms.

"casey happened!" i exclaimed, casey casually walked out, with a clean pair of clothes on, and he had no soda covering him whatsoever.

"Hey, babe. i love your soda-covered clothes. dont you guys?" he said saracastically, he winked, then nodded towards the bedroom, "go change?"

"change?" i muttered, "ill do better then that. ill take a shower!" and i did, i took a 10 minute shower, and spent 10 more minutes deciding what to wear. you sound like marissa! well its for catherines sake! who cares what she thinks? wear what you want! my mind debated.

finally i threw on a pair of jean capris, and a short sleeved t-shirt, and emerged from my room to find them arguing over...food.

"Sammy! chinese or thai?" warren asked,

"whats the vote?" i inquired,

"split even. one undecided," he shot a glance at heather.

"thai." he jumped up happily, "but," he stopped jumping, "we can always get both." i suggested casually,

"oh. yeah...thatd work too..." suddenly marissa jumped up too,

"ha! see! you dont always get everything!" she exclaimed gleefully, i raised my eyebrows,

"what exactly happened here?" heather rolled her eyes,

"nothing much..just them being immature, now can we go? im hungry!" so dot, holly, marissa and (unfortunatly) catherine, came with me. heather, anna, kevin, andy and billy went with casey, and warren took the kids and colby (laura sat on tobys lap, much to his protest.)

caseys group covered chinese, mine covered thai, and warrens group went straight to the park where we were meeting. caseys group beat mine by a few minutes, so casey was waiting for me by his car. he helped me carry the bags to his dad, (everyone else had ran off, except catherine; but she wasnt exactly offering to help) then began to walk with me as we watched laura and zoe play on the playground.

the evening was wonderul. we got to have a perfect veiw of the sun setting as casey and i walked along the path. at around 7:00, everyone gathered up to eat, we laughed, played and talked until the sun went down.

it was only 9:30 when we got home, but i was still exhausted! as soon as we got home, casey and i dropped everything on the counter, and collapsed on the bed next to each other. i could hear the kids changing and climbing into bed. casey pulled the blankets over us, and pulled me into his embrace. we were able to fall asleep in 2 minutes.
