A/N: WOOHOO, 100 reviews :) A personal milestone. Really great of you, guys! I'm one happy girl right now. :)
Chris and Taylor are going home. Enjoy this one :)
Sunday went very fast. Far too fast, in Casey's opinion. It was already time for Chris and Taylor to leave again. They were at the airport to say goodbye. They'd become really close the last couple of days. Taylor was really nice and Casey was glad with this kind of 'sister-in-law'. She really respected their choice in sexuality and she loved Alex, what Casey really loved. Inception. However, all good things came to an end.
"I'll call you." Casey said while she hugged Chris tightly.
"Take care, Case." he added whispering. "Don't let Alex go, she's a keeper." he winked and kissed her cheek. "See you."
They waved Taylor and Chris goodbye and Alex and Casey went back to the car.
"I'll miss them." Casey said sadly.
"Me too. It was really great, them being here." Alex added. She wrapped her arm around Casey's waist and pulled her into her. "Let's go home."
Alex and Casey had just eaten a bit, that means, the leftovers. They weren't really hungry, though. Now they were hanging out on the couch, just talking a bit about pretty much nothing. Casey laid her head into Alex's lap and Alex started to stroke her hair.
"Maybe it's weird, but I kind of had the feelings that Chris and Taylor would hook-up. Luckily that didn't happen, but I thought it would." Casey said.
"Yeah, I don't know. I kind of got the feeling that you didn't talk to Chris just about the weather when you took him apart in the hospital." Alex grinned. "You're a meddler."
"Hey!" Casey sat up straight.
"You are. And you have to admit that you told Chris to stay away." she narrowed her eyes, but she was grinning.
"Yeah, alright, I did. But sometimes he's such a man whore. I figured Taylor wouldn't like that and I wanted to keep peace." Casey explained.
"I get it. I would have done the same, I guess." Alex pushed Casey down to the couch again and traced her finger across Casey's lips. "Just to protect my little sister."
"You're so cute when you talk about your sister. You really love her. I like that." Casey smiled.
"I'm not cute." Alex tried to look bad-ass.
"Why not?"
"People call me Ice Queen. You noticed that, right?" Alex frowned.
"Oh, I might have heard something. But still.. you're cute. To me." Casey grinned. She reached out her hand and stroked her finger across Alex's nose. "Kiss me.." she sighed.
Alex leaned in and kissed Casey softly on the lips. Casey sat up and ran her tongue across Alex's bottom lip. Alex parted her lips Casey slid her tongue into Alex's mouth. They fought for dominance while Casey straddled Alex's thighs and ran her hand up in her hair, massaging Alex's scalp with her fingers. Alex had put her hands on Casey's sides, stroking her hips with her thumbs under her shirt. Alex had almost worked up Casey's shirt, when Casey pulled away.
"We're not going to have sex right now." she decided.
"Why not?" Alex pouted. "It's been two days."
"I know, but I have to go home to get some stuff. I don't have fresh underwear and clean clothes. I smell weird. That annoys me. I have to go home for at least a few hours. I cannot show up at work in the morning with the same clothes, smelling funny." she shook her head.
Alex's pout changed into a grin. "Yeah, that's true. But I don't want you to go." she kissed Casey's neck.
"I know that, Ms. Cabot, but I have to. I'm not gonna explain again." she pretended to be stern.
"Ah, please, stay here. You can borrow my clothes." Alex pouted again.
Casey thought it was worth considering, but it was really alarming that she couldn't get her own stuff. "No, I will go home." she decided.
But Alex grabbed Casey's wrists and pinned her to the couch. "Stay, please. I don't want you to leave my apartment. Stay.." she looked so serious when she said that.
Casey thought she meant something else. "You mean-?"
"Move in with me, please?" Alex looked so cute when she begged. She really wanted this.
"We are just a few months together. Don't you think it's a bit soon?" Casey pointed out.
"No. We know each other for years. Not that well, though, but I'm pretty sure we can do this. I don't want to leave you. And I don't want you to leave me anymore. I wish you could just stay the nights." Alex said.
"You realize that we've been sleeping at each other's apartments for almost every night the past couple of months?" Casey smirked.
"Yeah, so, what's the deal? The only difference is that you don't have to go home to get your stuff." Alex smiled. She had a point in that.
"Well, it's not that it doesn't feel right. It's just.. my parents didn't met you and we know each other not that long and.." but Alex laid her finger on her lips to silence her.
"Believe me, I'm not the kind of person that just asks after a few months to move in. I've never lived with girlfriends. I either didn't spend so much time with one of them, only you. I'm sure we can do this. I'm addicted to you, Case. I want to know everything about you. Above all, I really love you. I can't image feeling this for someone else." Alex's voice was really soft.
"I don't think I can call you the Ice Queen anymore, right? You're so soft right now." Casey smirked, but she thought it was really adorable. She never thought Alex had this kind of side.
"You're a tease." she nudged Casey's side. "You make fun of me. I'm putting my feelings on table and you just-"
"Sssh, I don't mean it. I think it's great you say all those things, but no one ever said those things before, so I don't know how to handle that. The idea of you and me living together scares the crap out of me, but I also love the idea, because I want to be with you. But I don't know. On the other hand I want to do nothing more than just move in with you, but from the other I'm so scared. I don't know Alex."
"I know. Just say yes. You have to look the other way. What do you have to lose?"
"A nice apartment."
"You always tell me you don't have a connection with it, so please don't be silly." Alex smiled.
"That's true. I don't know what holds me back. I'm just a control freak and this seems so out of control. Too impulsive or something." Casey admitted.
"You really think it's impulsive? I'm thinking about this for a while now, I can't believe you weren't. We practically live together. Stop being so scared to commit."
"You're right, I was thinking about it.." Casey said, looking down, fidgeting with her nails. Alex didn't say a word anymore. She just looked at Casey. After a long time of silence, Casey decided..
