About Last Night

Chapter 13

My mother always gave me strong advice that I took very seriously, I smiled looking down at my hands. Wondering what my life would have been not having my mom by my side, I would have been lost, confused living a life a lot differently then right now. I stare at my mom who is putting the sweater back into the container "Mom, I love you" she turns around surprised. She stands up straight and begins to walk towards me "Oh, sweetie I love you too" she kisses me on the cheek and I grab her hugging her tightly. 

After our mother and daughter moment we decide to head downstair were everyone is waiting to eat. I walk downstairs with my mom right behind me, I spot Rebecca near the hallway putting meadow to sleep. I give her a slight smile and continue walking to the living room where Paul is sitting on the couch talking to my brother. He turns his head slightly spotting me forming a smile on his face he gets up and walks towards me. "So, what did your mom say" he whispers silently so no one else can hear "She wont say anything" I smile. He turns to look at me with a smile, we knew that we wanted to be sure about us before anyone found out. We didn't want to pull people in and then leaving each other again. We wanted this time to be right and not rushed, we walk together to the kitchen. I pull a chair out sitting near Ashlie who turns to me and smiles, "You surprised us all when you showed up" she said smiling "Im happy your here" I smile rubbing her arm. "Ive missed you guys" I reply she smiles and turns back around facing forward smiling at my brother. He smiles back and notice that Ashlie begins to blush I raise my eyebrow and smile. I hear my mom coming into the dining room with my turkey "Before we eat lets just say what we are thankful for this year" everyone take a turn and then suddenly it goes to Paul, he smiles making eye contact with me "Im thankful for my family, for always being there even through out my worst days when I was pushing you guys away. Im also thankful for my amazing friends who are supporting me through my acting career, I also give thanks to God for giving such a beautiful baby girl meadow, he turns to Rebecca. I know that there's been a lot between us but without you I wouldn't be holding this baby girl right here." Everyone turns to Rebecca who has a tear coming down her face, then suddenly he turn to me "Finally Im thankful for my best friend someone that I don't deserve she had been there constantly even after I hurt her badly she was still there when I needed her...I even fell in love with her I fell deeply in love with her and I apologize for taking so long to figure this out but I love you so much Cassie." I stay in shock, everyone turns to me 

I look at my family who is staring deep into my eyes shocked at what Paul was saying, I turn back to face Paul "What are you doing" I say 

He gets up slowly walking towards me placing his hands on mine "I don't want to hide us anymore, I want us to be able to be together without hiding what we are..I want to be with you" I look at him not knowing what to say but suddenly a smile forms on my face.

 I grab his face gently and kiss him softly, he smiles returning the kiss. This is all I ever wanted someone to be happy with someone that would be there always. I know me and Paul had our up and downs be I knew we would always find our way back to each other. Im just so happy that I wont have to hide the affection I have for Paul anymore. A few hours passed me and Paul were sitting on the couch, I had meadow in my arms as she slept. Paul turns to me placing his arm around my shoulder, I place my head on his and I look up suddenly seeing Rebecca staring at the both of us. She looked kind of lost in thought but I could quite seem to figure out what she was thinking.
