Black Love - Fantastic Beasts

Part 45

Tarius wants to meet you.
Would that be alright?

-Casey-

Credence feels his heart tightened at the content of Casey's letter. He doesn't know the exact reason why Terry wants to meet him.

Will Tarius force him to stay away from Casey?

Will Casey finally choose Tarius over him?

Although Casey had told him before that she would never leave him, but Credence still feels a bit scared.

What if Casey made up her mind to finally accept Terry as his fiance?

Such questions keep on lingering on Credence mind. He reluctantly use Newt's parchment and quill to write a reply.

Why?

-Credence-

Credence didn't have to wait long for Casey's reply. It seems as if Casey has been waiting for him to write back.

I don't really know.
He simply told me that 
he wanted to meet you.

-Casey-

Credence sighs heavily.

Truthfully, he feels rather inferior as compared to Terry. He has seen Terry before so he had to admit, Terry is a far better looking compared to him. Terry has the confidence to be with Casey unlike him whom always cause troubles for Casey.

Most importantly, Terry is a pure blood wizard. He will be well accepted by Casey's family unlike Credence. By any means, Terry is a rather better choice than him.

Credence unknowingly sobs at the thought. He slowly wipes his tears with the back of his hand. Again he grabs a new parchment from Newt's desk and hesitantly writes a reply.

Alright.
See you Casey.
I miss you.

-Credence-

Casey smiles at Credence reply. She writes back an 'I miss you too' to Credence before she went out to meet Terry to tell him about the plan.

******************************

As soon as they apparated to Newt's place, Terry is dumbfounded by the great view surrounding the cozy house. The  house is surrounded by greeneries and chrystal clear lake while the blue mountain can be seen from afar.

Terry gapes in astonishment. Casey simply smiles at Terry's reaction before they both are welcomed by Newt who is smiling brightly.

"Welcome Casey... And you must be Tarius..."

Newt said simply before holding out his hand to shake Terry's hand. Terry however is unable to shake back Newt's hand as he is so stunned to see him.

Casey that senses Terry's excitement quickly nudges Terry's arm, causing him to jump a little and awkwardly shakes Newt's hand.

"I... I'm your fan sir... I heard a lot about your great journey in America..."

Newt blushes a little when he heard Terry's praises. He nods before ushering both of them into his house.

Credence feels his heart tightened at the sight of Casey and Terry. He feels rather reckless so he stands up from the couch, wanted to enter the kitchen but before he could step away, Terry quickly stops him.

"We haven't properly introduced... My name's Tarius Potter, but you can call me Terry..."

Terry said with a smirk, while holding out his hand. Credence feels rather anxious at the time, he casts a single glance towards Casey who is standing besides Terry before hesitantly shakes Terry's hand.

"Credence..."

Casey sighs slowly at the sight. She notices Credence's anxiety but she chooses to do nothing at the time. She wanted Credence to try and befriend with Terry. She wanted Credence to try going out from his protective shell.

So when Casey sees Newt entering the kitchen, she quickly follows, ignoring the pleading glance from Credence, leaving both Credence and Terry to forcefully spend some time together.
