More than that to me

Cassidy's P.O.V.

I was currently on my way home to my small house from my job as a secretary in an office building down town, I didn't really enjoy it, but I didn't mind much it paid the bills and helped me get me my car, a Kia soul! My house was a small one story that I rented with my boyfriend, who just moved in. I pulled into the driveway and entered into the house and made my way into the kitchen after I slipped my flats off.

"Hey babe!" I called knowing my boyfriend was somewhere in the house.
"So I was thinking chicken and mixed veggies for dinner!" I didn't receive an answer but heard footsteps down the hall. I turned around and saw my boyfriend walking out of the bedroom with a suite case.

"Cassidy, I think we need to talk." He said softly, as I nodded my head knowing what was coming next, but I was hopeful I was wrong. We both headed down the hall toward the living room next to the front door, where he sat his suite case. He sat down on the couch and patted the spot next to him, I sat down next to him, already dreading the conversation coming.

"What is it Keith?" I said gently sighing.

"Cassidy, I know you love me,"

"But, you love me to right?"

"Yes, but not that way," He said looking down as if this was hard for him to say.

"I do love you Cassidy, but I'm now in love with you like you are with me." As he said this tears began to fall from my eyes when he looked over to me and gasped.

"Oh no please don't cry Cassidy, I know this is hard but you are still the most beautiful girl in the entire world, but you deserve to be happy and I can't give that to you as much as I want to." he said softly and honestly as tears began to fall from his eyes as well.

"It's okay," I said nodding and sniffling.

"You're honest, and everyone deserves someone like that in their life, and I know one day you'll find someone." I said smiling softly while my last few words cracked.

"One day someone will be lucky enough, to be with you, I love you Cassidy," and with that he lent in and gave me one final kiss and hug. I returned the hug while saying I love you to, and with that he got up and went out the door with a final nod with eyes still full of tears as he turned and walked out with a suite case, closing the door gently behind him. A moment later I heard his car pulling out the driveway and going down the road, as I began weeping. I wept for hours and hours that day, just thinking of all the pain that had gone through me, I was in love with Keith but he wasn't with me. The next day I called in sick at work, just weeping for most of the day until around noon, where me eyes were red and puffy and had blackish blue bags under me eyes due to the lack of sleep. Then I decided to cheer myself up, by going out and having a one night stand, sure it's not a good answer, and would only take the pain away until the morning, but anything that could, I would take. I waited until dark and dressed up in the most revealing outfit I had, with a pair of matching heels. I put on makeup and especially put it on under my eyes, no guy would really care what a girl looked like if it was one night stand, but I don't think they'd want a girl who looked a total mess. I went out to the local club, even though I shouldn't be driving and going to have a drink due to the lack of food in my body, but I didn't care. I waited in line for a minute or two when I was let in and immediately went over to the bar. I ordered the strongest thing the bartender had to offer, he nodded as he came back over handing me my drink while I payed him the money, when he told me everything I ordered would be on the house, I don't think he was hitting on me but somehow understood my pain, as he offered a weak smile, I nodded returning the smile as a thank you. I felt eyes on me from different people for the next hour as I just drank and drank, not forgetting my intentions for coming but no longer caring, anyone who hit on me first would be the lucky one to take the heartbroken girl at the bar home. I felt one pair of particular eyes looking at me for a lengthy a period of time, so I turned to face whoever it was. I turned my head to see the most beautiful green eyes I'd ever seen, when my mouth began to hang open slightly while this viewer with green eyes repeated my actions, all at the same time. I quickly shook my head turning my head back to face the wall of lights that held drinks and glasses, I want going to fall in love again. It wasn't really a love at first sort of thing with Keith, but I felt like this was, although I was mentally praying I was wrong. I kept drinking until the viewer came over, sloppily might I add.

"Hey, you're pretty," he said slurring his words with his British accent.

"You're not do bad yourself, *hiccup* handsome", so I did what I needed to do next, I reached up and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled his lips against mine. He didn't seem to mind as he kissed me with just as much passion as I did, into the kiss. But I'll admit one thing, I felt like sparks sure, things with Keith felt like sparks, that was when I was just in love with him but now the feeling feels mutual between the stranger and I, or so I thought seeing as how I was piss drunk, and didnt care about feelings, but instead I only cared about a booty call.
"let's take this back to my place love," I nodded my head as he lead us out to his car in the dark street full of golden lit street lamps. I didn't worry about my car, just about getting into bed with this stranger. He drove quickly to his house, it was a small but decent apartment, I jumped up to him wrapping my legs around his waste, as he whispered between kisses,

"My name's Harry love."

"Mine's Cassidy," well one thing led to another as he slipped a condom on and we got down to business.

I woke up with the sun gleaming through an unfamiliar window. I closed my eyes hoping for more sleep, until I remembered last nights events and the heartbreak came back to me. I sat up gasping, but quickly covered my mouth with my hand, and to hide the groan of pain that roamed through my body, also to make sure I didn't wake up to the possible sleeping stranger next to me. With my hand still over my mouth I turned my head to the right to see a guy about my age sleeping, with small snores coming out of his mouth, facing towards me. Hmmm, I thought, he's not so bad looking, he's actually pretty gorgeous, I looked to my left and saw a small nightstand I grabbed my purse and pulled out an index card, which I always kept in case I needed to write something down, along with a pen, now, what was this guy's name? I'm pretty sure it started with an H, hmmm..., I think it was Henry maybe? No no no, it was more along the lines of Hale or Hayden, maybe Harold? Ah! That's it! Harry, now I'm sure of it, and if that's wrong, it wouldn't matter, I doubt he would care, I mean it wasn't like we were dating, we probably both knew by the time we'd wake up the real events of last night and that it was nothing more than one night.

"Dear Harry, thanks for last night." And with that, I rose up quietly and dressed, grabbed my purse, sat the note on the pillow my head rested on right next to his, found the front door, and left.
