Stephen felt bad that he'd obviously embarrassed her, but nothing that happened between them when it was just the two of them was ever told. Usually, that is. He wouldn't tell a soul what had happened today unless Caylee had for some reason told him to. He watched her as she put her jacket back on, and he wondered what was going through her head. He knew that he'd hurt her so many times, and yet she still wanted him. Wanted him more than anything, so she'd said. It's amazing how when someone says something like that about another person, the other person gets the news within an hour. That was one thing that Stephen hated about living in a town where everyone was friends with everyone else and someone was always watching you. It was beyond annoying when it came to girlfriends.
As she spoke, Stephen's heart sank and he stared at the wall behind her. "Caylee..." he started to interrupt after she asked if there was someone else. And why would it matter if there was? They weren't dating or anything. He waited in a patient annoyance until she was done speaking. "Caylee, I love you, I really do, but honestly. There's more in the world than just me and you. We should just relax and have fun... With each other and with other people." He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts. "I could never forget you, and I'd never purposely hurt you, but you can't help what your heart wants, and my heart doesn't want to be with you yet. It wants to play around a bit, and maybe get broken a few times before I can send it to you. Because I know you'll take good care of it," he stared into her eyes, his blue ones pleading with her chocolaty brown ones to understand. His speech had been a little cheesy, but heartfelt, and he prayed his friend would be able to see where he was coming from.

Caylee's heart felt worse than ever. The very reason why she came back and why she wanted to stay is almost gone. Her head's spinning, she closed her eyes to somehow fight back the tears that is about to fall. She sighed heavily and wondered what went wrong. "I thought..." she paused. She'es not sure wether to tell him how she feels. "Never mind. It's..no use anyway. I know you Stephen, you're dating someone.." she tried to fight it as she said those words.
Caylee stood up and looked at him. Is this goodbye?... she thought and that idea hurted even more. "I know I made a lot of mistakes before, but one thing's for sure. I never cheated on you nor dated other guy while I was there in New York. Few attempted, but during my stay there..away from you. I realized one thing, and that is how I really love you. I c-can't imagine life without you. But I've matured a lot too, and I'm not here to play and fool around like we usually do before. The reaso why I came back, is to show you that I'm serious about you and I wanted for things between us to be serious too. I can't hold you if you don't want to be with me.." she turned away just in case she won't no longer be able to hold her tears. "I came back for you Stephen..because I love you.." she said as she slowly walked to the door. Cay had no idea that he can get over her just like that. At least that's what she thought. She's not really sure what's running in his mind now.

Stephen dropped his gaze. He wasn't dating someone else, though he would have liked to. He just wanted to see who was out there besides Caylee, he just wanted to be able to have different experiences. Was that so wrong? Apparently, Cay hadn't seen his point of view, and he wished that she would have. But you can't always have anything. He knew that she was upset with him, but he also knew that she would come around. "Caylee, I'm not dating anyone right now." He said the words, but he didn't think that she'd believe them, though they had been true.
As she turned away from him, he wondered why she couldn't look at him. Was it because he couldn't be in a relationship with her? Or was it because she knew he wasn't going to believe her when she said she'd never cheated in the past? Whatever her reasoning was, Stephen was surprised to hear her say that she loved him in such seriousness. She'd never said the words like such a fact since the first time they'd had sex. "You know I'll always love you, but nows not the time." His heart was starting to ache, pulled and twisted by the mess he was making of his life. But that was all part of it. You had to live through every emotion and every stupid mistake. But Stephen was so stubborn he wouldn't turn back on his speech now. He wasn't going to let her win.

Those words of Stephen made her feel better. At least she's not a complete nobody to him. She looked at him and felt another jolt on the head as the idea of him no longer with her came to her him. "I wish I've been like mature earlier about us. I'm no longer playing games Steph and I'll wait til you tell that you're letting me go." She meant every word to him. She has never been this sure before and she'll do whatever it takes to prove it to him.
She slumped back to his bed. Her head's not reallt feeling well with jet lag and all the pressure that's coming to her. She shook her head hoping it would feel good. "Can I still sleep here with you. Just like before..I-I think I'm gonna.." she paused and placed her head in her hands. She felt like a helpless little child.

Stephen just stared at her, amazed by the fact that he basically just told her that he didn't want to be more than friends and she wasn't screaming and throwing things at him like most girls did. One of the many reasons he loved Caylee. She never overreacted when it came to him, or at least she normally held it in until he was out of the room. But he knew that girls were sneaky, always talking in tones that hid the bitchiness to such a level that it could be detected only by other girls, and always doing things in secret. It bugged him that Cay was like that, but he didn't mind it too badly.
"Of course you can, Cay," he said as he grabbed the semi-melted ice cream from his night stand to take it back to the freezer before it made a huge mess all over. He opened the door, and then said, "Come on, we can hang out on the couch and watch Mean Girls until you fall asleep, just like always." Stephen strode out of his room and back into the kitchen, housing the ice cream and then going over to the cabinet that held the public domain drugs like Advil. He pulled out a bottle of Advil and dumped three out into his palm, opened the fridge to get a bottle of water, and then came back out to find Cay. "You look like you have a migraine," he added before plopping down on the couch and going through the list of recorded items on the living room's plasma T.V.

Stephen's sincerity really amazed her. The way he cares about her is one of the reasons why she fell in love with him. She stared on the ceiling, stared at it blankly. Cay doesn't know what else to do and where to go. She's so helpless and weak with all these troubles that came to her all at the same time. She felt Stephen left the room but was still filled with deep thoughts, so deep that she didn't even noticed him came back. Cay wanted to cry but somewhere, she tried to fight it. She's no longer the Cay that he knew and she'll prove it. That she's a mature and grown up lady and definitely serious about him.
She heard him telling things but catch just a few of it. She doesn't want to look so dumb and stupid. She nodded pretending she understood everything he said. Her body's feeling numb. "Uh, yeah sure. I don't think I need this meds Stephen. You know I'm not a fan of medicines. I-I don't think I'll go for Mean Girls today. I wanted something like City of Angels." Caylee's not really into sad movies and too romantic but she thought she needed it now. To at least make her feel that she's not the only sad person in the world.
