Chapter 11
None of them have the guts to go and face the other one, however both had a lot of questions and explanations about what had happened that night at Coney Island; nonetheless they kept avoiding each other, and Casey started to feel bitter about the whole situation; even though it has been a short kiss, she had poured her soul in it, and it had left her feeling exposed and vulnerable.
The whole week went like that, Alex avoiding almost hiding from Casey; and the latter being selfish, nonchalant, not even caring about the blonde; however sooner or later they unavoidably would bump into each other.
On Friday just as Casey was leaving the DA's office she found herself face to face with the blue eyed woman who had taken sleep away for her the past days; when the blonde noticed the other woman standing right in front of her, she could see Casey' eyes filled with rage; in that moment she had no idea of what to say, so she just turned to leave; however she felt a strong grasp on her wrist, and before she was able to cast a word, she heard the red head's voice lingering with disdain "So, you're leaving again without saying a single word?"; she immediately got upset by the remark "Judging for your attitude all week long, I thought the last person you want to hear about is me"; "Well you owe me, you know? You don't do something like what you did and run away like a coward", said the green-eyed almost yelling, even though she knew she had been a coward too that one time at prom; "Not here, let's go to somewhere else", was Alex's reply as she freed her arm from the attorney's harsh grasp.
Just when they were out of the building Casey started ranting again, "I want an explanation Alexandra, come on you don't go like that kissing people and running away afterwards, I mean we aren't kids playing around anymore", she made a short pause to catch her breath, "I don't know how you feel, but at least I started to consider you a friend for a while, you are the only person I've been honest in a really long time, but suddenly you kissed me out of nowhere, so please Alex tell me what the hell is going on between us?"; Alex froze at the harshness of those words, however she got the nerve to answer "I don't really know what you want me to say, but I can assure you that what happened on Sunday was nothing but a moment of weakness, I know how you feel 'cause you are also the only one I've trusted in years, I let emotions overcame me, and that kiss was only an impulse, as I already told you it was nothing but weakness".
When the blonde's words struck in, Casey felt something shattering deep inside, "So that's it, just an impulse" she stopped only to cautiously choose her next words "I'm glad you had that urge to kissed me, it's really comprehensible…" Alex could notice the sarcasm clawing on Casey's words "… but I won't lie to you, I wished you would have had the sudden impulse of fucking me, instead of toying around with childish kisses and silly caresses, you know to cut all the fucking crap and get straight to the point, but you preferred to waste time with me playing friends, kissing and all that fucking bullshit".
The blonde was getting sharply hurt by the attorney's tantrum, however she wouldn't stand there and just listen to Casey's nonsense, she knew she hadn't done anything wrong, and kissing Casey haven't been a mistake until now; she had thought about the red head only as a friend but that day something stirred inside herself so she kissed her, however she never knew Casey would react on such a rude way about the kiss and mostly about her confused emotions, but right now she had had enough of the ADA's rudeness; "So you think all those sorties together were just to get into your pants? Well counselor don't be so haughty about yourself, has it crossed your mind I might just needed a friend? You should stop acting like a little brat, and stop complaining about things when they don't go the way you wish…" now it was Alex who was talking with disdain "… every single time things doesn't turn out the way you like, you just start acting hard and stupid, be a real woman and grow up a little, stop hiding behind irony and foolishness, it's time for you to face reality".
"OK" was all the red head could answer, before turning to leave; "See, who's running away now?" shouted the blue eyed attorney still euphoric for the moment before.
Casey was taken aback by the blonde's words, mostly because she was alright, when she heard Alex saying that kiss was only an impulse, she felt broken, even though she didn't allow herself to accept it, the hope had grown inside her that maybe Alex had other kind of feeling for Casey beyond friendship; however when Alex shut down that possibility, she felt alone; inexplicably that kiss had raised all kind of feelings and sensations in Casey, it made her realize that she had fallen in love with the other attorney; just at that moment she could understand what meant all those moments whit Alex; all the little happening, the giggles, the sorties, the hugs, and of course the kiss; nonetheless any of that matter anymore, it had only been an illusion. When she felt tears spilling from her eyes, she started walking faster she couldn't allow anyone to see her in that shattered state but that didn't matter any longer because finally her true inner feelings had overwhelmed her façade of pride.
Alex stood there, seeing the red head's slender figure fading into the crowd; as much as she had come to care for the other woman, now she was hurt; hurt by Casey's display of bigotry, hurt by her lack of support, but mainly hurt by her absence; in the last weeks she had bonded with Casey, she started feeling alive again, she trusted and cared for her; but today she had threw all away, not caring about Alex's emotions, accusing her of feigning everything they lived together for the past few weeks, all just to fuck her. But Alex was upset about something else; she was upset for not daring to tell Casey the truth that she was falling hard for her; none of that is relevant any longer though, for Alex it had only been a fantasy. So she was alone again, only this time her heart was broken.
