CHAPTER 2

Undeniable Bound

Casey wakes into the pod happily

Casey: (voice distortion) hey!

Derek: (voice distortion) I love the energy, you had a good morning?

Casey:(voice distortion) no, not really.

Derek: (voice distortion) why? What's been going on.

Casey: (voice distortion) nothing, I have just been in my head lately.

Derek: (voice distortion) in your head about what? You worried that I might be ugly?

Casey: (voice distortion giggle) no.

Derek: (voice distortion)you don't sound too convinced to me. Everyone cares about looks, they don't like to admit it but they do and I get it were on camera and were live but it's ok to admit.

Casey: (voice distortion) not me.

Derek: (voice distortion) that's woman speak for you don't want to sound mean, that's ok, I'll change the subject. Do you like video games?

Casey: (voice distortion) I used to think I didn't, but I can understand why people like them.

Derek: (voice distortion) please tell me that you're not one of those.

Casey: (voice distortion) one of what?!

Derek: (voice distortion) the kind of person who feels like everything they do has to be something productive, the kind of person who can't have fun or get out of their head?

Casey: (voice distortion) wow! That sounded like a call-out!

Derek: (voice distortion) only if it's true (smirks)

Casey: (voice distortion) stop being smug.

Derek:(voice distortion) i've dated girls like you and they are all boring, uptight and incapable of having fun.

Casey: (voice distortion scoff) excuse! I'll have you know that i have a lot of fun!

Derek: (voice distortion) have a lot of fun doing what? Writing poetry and doing homework?!

Casey: (voice distortion) noooo!

Derek: (voice distorted laugh) your a terrible liar.

Casey: (voice distortion) I dance! And I was a cheerleader in high school!

Derek: (voice distortion) i doubt a keener like you actually enjoyed that, so who did you do it for? My guess is a guy.

Casey: (voice distortion) you don't know me!

Derek: (voice distortion) but I've been right so far, right?

Casey: (voice distortion: I have played video games, and I was the top scorer! And I've been to hockey games.

Derek: (voice distortion) you like hockey? I play hockey!

Casey: (voice distortion) I'm a fan of hockey, my step-brother and his family lived and breathe hockey. So they occupied a lot of the TV time and I never got to watch the stuff I wanted.

Derek: (voice distorted) what did you want to watch? Ballerina? Romantic movies? Geez even your taste are boring. I'm clearly going to show you a few things.

Casey: (voice distortion) so you're calling me boring?! I bet I can beat you in any game, just watch!

Derek: (voice distortion) and we can go to a hockey game, I mean you clearly like hockey… so, lets go to a game. I mean sure we can watch a game together too.

Casey: (voice distortion) what about doing stuff that I want to do?

Derek: (voice distortion) what?! Read a book together?

Casey: (voice distortion) no ( she laughs) ice skating or we can play hockey.

Derek: (voice distortion laugh) you want to play me in hockey, that's any win.

Casey: (voice distortion) don't be too sure about that.

Derek: (voice distortion) ice skating is far from hockey.

Casey: (voice distortion) I've played hockey too.

Derek: (voice distortion) prove it! (smirks)

Casey: (voice distortion) ok! Let's play when we see each other!

Derek: (voice distortion) hmmm what i'm I going to want when I win.

Casey: (voice distortion) I was thinking of what punishment I was going to make you do when you lose.

Derek: (voice distortion) what? What you do ballet.

Casey: (voice distortion) nice try, i said punishment… not give you a show, you perv.

Derek: (voice distortion) hey, that's where your mind went. Your the one with the dirty mind but I like that (smirks)

Casey: (voice distortion) I do not!

Derek: (voice distortion) it's ok, this is a safe place. Oh yeah I forgot were on tv. Well, we can talk about it when were alone.

Casey: (voice distortion) oh my gosh!

Derek: (voice distortion) enough said, changing the subject. What's your favorite food?

Casey: (voice distortion) anything vegetarian.

Derek: (voice distortion, exhales sharply) could you get any more boring! Is there any aspect of your life that isn't boring.

Casey: (voice distortion) yes! When I dance! And I don't dance ballet. I bet you won't be able to get enough of my moves.

Derek: (voice distortion) I might take you up on that offer.

Casey: (voice distortion) now who has the dirty mind.

Derek: (voice distortion) who's the one that phrased it that way? It's ok, we both have a dirty mind, it just means that we're a match.

Casey: (voice distortion) we'd drive each other crazy.

Derek: (voice distortion) just means we are passionate.

Casey: (voice distortion) that I can agree with.

Derek: (voice distortion) just wait until we see each other, we're going to be agreeing a lot more.

Casey: (voice distortion) someone a little conceited

Derek: (voice distortion) no, I just know what I want, and I go for it. The question is, can you let loose and do the same?

Casey: (voice distortion) I'm still talking too, aren't I?

Derek: (voice distortion) does that mean that you've made your choice?

Casey: (voice distortion) did you really have any doubt?

Derek: (voice distortion) no, but I don't like to assume.

Casey: (voice distortion) go with your first instinct, it's usually the right one.

Derek: (voice distortion) which is what?

Casey: (voice distortion) that I want you, isn't that obvious.

Derek: (voice distortion) I just wanted to hear you say it.

Casey: (voice distortion) so, I guess that means we're the only locked in couple.

Derek: (voice distortion) I don't play games when it comes to something I want…. And I always get what I want.

Casey: (voice distortion) well, I rarely go after what I want, but this time I'm not afraid.

Derek: (voice distortion) good. You have no reason to be.

Casey (talking to the camera) we have a lot of differences, but that's an obstacle that we can easily overcome.

Derek: (talking to the camera) she's a little rough around the edges, but I can easily smooth those out. She just needs to learn to relax, and I think with me, I can help her do that, I have to admit I love pushing her buttons and seeing her freak out.

Ralph: (watching from home) I knew it!

In Emily's house, she has a huge smile on her face

Back to the episode

Casey: (talking to the camera) I know it seems too quick to say, but I will say that there was an instant connection that I never had with anyone.

Next time on love is blind, we hear from the other couples and

The big reveal that will change everything

The silhouette disappears and if they are revealed to one another

Casey: (shocked) Derek!

Derek: Casey?

Casey: (storms off) I can't do this!

Derek: I knew the entire time, you guys just had to fuck everything up. I'm done (takes the microphone and storms off)

The host: whose responsible for this! It's your fault that they are gone! Go get them or you're fired!
