Chapter 9
Finally Sunday had arrived, she had been looking forward to it, most of the times weekends and especially Sundays were the only days she could relax and have fun with her coworker and now friend Casey Novak; however this Sunday they planned on going out to Coney Island.
When the red head arrive she already was ready to go, after greetings they went out on their way to the amusement park; it's been years since none of them went to one and this somehow felt like being teenagers one more time.
After arriving to the park, Alex paid for the tickets, she said it was her treat; and with that their day just got started.
It was a completely unexpected experience, and every little happening allowed the women to knew a little bit more about each of them; Casey was terrified of hunting houses and to make thing worse Alex obliged her into every of them, on the other side the blonde attorney suffer a terrible fear of heights however that didn't stop Casey from taking her to The Cyclone, that sacred Alex to death; nonetheless they had a great time together.
When they went into the bumper cars, Alex witnessed how competitive Casey is; bumping into everyone and everything it crossed her path; by the way Casey also got to notice how skilled Alex is at playing games, and by the end of the day they got like four small stuffed animal; two frogs, one dog, one panda; but they also got a huge duck, all of those courtesy of ADA Cabot.
At the moment the night fell on New York City they were sat on a bench, they had already eaten dinner, and right now they were just looking over the ocean, none of them was talking, nonetheless they were enjoying that silent company.
For Casey this moment suddenly felt familiar, just like prom at high school, seated along her best friend; but in this moment she wasn't only seated with her best friend but rather her only friend, unlike that time at high school she doesn't felt nervous or scared, she felt grateful for having a friend like Alex.
While Casey was thinking, the blonde rested her head on her shoulder; the green-eyed only hugged her friend with one arm, and turned her head to kiss her friend on her head's top; coming from Casey that was an unthinkable display of fondness.
At the feeling of Casey's lips touching her, something snapped inside her, it was as if a thunderbolt had went through her body; but none of that mattered in that moment, 'cause she was happy.
The minutes passed, and they were on the same spot both unwillingly to move, but it was Alex who lifted her head from Casey's shoulder, watched the red head and smiled just as Casey turned to look at her; they locked eyes, and blue met green; and suddenly Alex crashed her lips against Casey's, and just like that red met gold.
It was a simple short lasting chaste kiss, all the same time expressive and sincere; Casey could feel her lips slightly brushing Alex's, touching them, tendering them, caressing them; she could felt her soul coming to surface by that kiss, she thought that moment would last forever, or at least she wanted it to last forever; nonetheless it ended, and they opened their eyes, the red head couldn't stop smiling, this time it was not like high school, tonight she was the one being kissed instead of being the one kissing; on the other side Alex felt ashamed, sure it felt good, but also she wasn't so sure about what she felt, so she just rose up and went away, not even saying Casey goodbye.
The green-eyed was left bewildered, this time that was different too, this time she wasn't the one running away; she was left behind alone, well not alone if she could count the stuffed animals as company.
Even though Alex had been gone for a while, Casey continued seated in that bench, trying to figure out what had happened, but mostly thinking about what to do, sadly that wasn't upon to her. It was getting really late, she better hurry up home.
Most people might have called it any given Sunday; for them it was the day their world change.
