Casey made it to the KT house in record time. When she reached Cappie’s room she suddenly realized what she had come there for. As if it hadn’t occurred to her before. She began to think of all the ways she could start the conversation. ‘So you know how you said that you loved me and you haven’t said it since, what’s up with that?’ ‘I love you, do you love me too?’ ‘Why won’t you just say you love me?!?’

But all those thoughts left her mind as she walked into Cappie’s room to find him half asleep on his bed. He squinted at her as he heard her enter the room. “Hey you” he said lifting up the covers in invitation. Casey smiled “Hi” as she toed off her shoes and climbed in.

Before she even had time to really even get in she found herself pulled tightly into Cappie’s arms. It felt so nice, just being with him. Everything with him was so easy. “I missed you” he told her kissing her neck. “So you didn’t really have plans with Ashleigh today did you?” he asked in a knowing voice.

“No” she said looking down at his arm that way currently wrapped around her. She felt it tighten, and she snuggled into him more with a sigh of contentment. “So why’d you rush outta here in such a hurry?” he asked her sounding a little hurt.

“I’m sorry” she said turning in his arms, “I’m just confused about some stuff and I thought I needed to be away from you to figure it out.” “Oh” he said loosening his grip a little. “No it’s nothing you did,” reading his mind and gripping him tighter. “It’s more like, something you didn’t do.”

“What?” he asked searching her eyes she could see the worry written all over his face. He was so worried that he had done something wrong and that he was going to lose her again. “It’s really not a big deal” she assured him. “Well it must be if you’re rushing outta here and away from the pie you were looking so forward to.”

“I’m sorry Cap, I didn’t mean to just leave you like that. I have to ask you something.” She told him looking away from his eyes. “You know you can ask me anything Case.” He said tilting her chin and imploring her with his eyes.

“This is going to sound really stupid and you’re probably going to think that I’m a whiny brat or a little girl or-“ “What is it?” “Why haven’t you told me that you love me since the night with the tow truck?” “What? Is that what this is all about? You’re upset cause you don’t think I love you?” he asked leaning away from her to get a better look at her face.

“No I- well maybe-I don’t know.” “Ca-“ “No wait, I know that you love me, I just don’t know why you aren’t telling me. And I know it’s stupid and immature and so unlike me but I just-“ “You just need to hear it sometimes?” he asked looking at her with a knowing smile.

“Well ya it would be nice.” She told him with a timid smile. He pulled away once more and moved an imaginary stray hair out of her face. “Casey Cartwright, I love you, I love you more then I ever thought possible, I love you not because of who you are but because of who I am when I’m with you. I love the way you smile. I love the way you bite your lip when your thinking really hard, I love-“

“Okay okay” she said laughing, “I get it, not need to go over board.” Cappie laughed with her, “Are you sure? Cause I got a million more.” He said kissing her hand. Casey rolled her eyes, “Alright, I get it, you love me.” “I meant all of those things though Case, they may be corny and used in WAY too many hallmark cards, but they’re all true.”

Casey smiled at him. “I know that you love me” she said kissing him. “Just remember to tell me sometimes okay? You don’t have to get all elaborate and crazy, just tell me.” “How about I show you?” giving her a look that made her heart skip a beat. “And just so you know it could be a long night, ‘cause I love you a lot.”

All that could be heard down the hall the rest of the night was Casey’s giggles and sighs and Cappie’s laughs and “I love you’s.” Sometimes it’s just nice to hear the one you love say it back to you even if you already know that they love you. It’s even nicer when they show you how much.
