Just Desserts

Chapter 28

Hey guys... so I realize that I dragged this bowling thing out a lot, but I needed them to be in the same area for longer than an hour so that they have to talk. I promise this is the last bowling thing they are going to do for a while, maybe ever. Help please if you can. Enjoy. -Captain

Cas and I patiently waited. We waited as the two of them talked, as they argued, as they whispered to one another, and finally as they shook hands.

I could tell that coming to the bowling alley tonight was a great idea. It was just what they needed to start talking to one another and I couldn't help but hope that they reached something farther than just friends, because that's what it seemed like they wanted as well.

I turned to smile at Cas, glad that they were talking because lunch would finally go back to normal. There would be no more awkward silences for the entire hour, it would just be... normal.

Sam smiled as he strutted up to the lane and got a strike.

I couldn't help but sit there, mouth wide open in shock because all night he had been getting gutters. I was thinking that I would finally beat him, but alas, that didn't seem to be the case.

I watched happily as he sat back down next to Gabriel who clapped for him and gave him a high five. "So... where do we start?"

"The beginning I suppose. It seems like a great place to start, considering we didn't really know much about one another before any of this happened," Gabe muttered, gesturing between him and Sam.

"Sure. Let's skip the names though." Gabe nodded, chuckling as he thought about what to say to Sam.

I jumped when Cas nudged my shoulder. I wasn't expecting him to do so.

"Sorry," he apologized, "didn't mean to frighten you."

"I just forgot that we were actually here, ya know." Cas just nodded in understanding, resting his hand on my shoulder.

"Let's leave them be to figure it out on their own. Besides, it's our turn. Do you wanna go first?"

I turned to look at him, his beautiful blue eyes watching me intently. I felt my face heat up and I cleared my throat. "S-sure."

I grabbed the ball, looking back at Sam and Gabe one last time, glad that they were okay again.

I walked up to the lane, awkwardly shuffling the ball back in forth in my hands. There were butterflies fluttering around my stomach and I felt like I was going to be sick. I couldn't help but think back tot he conversation I had with Gabriel a couple minutes ago. He had said that I was in the same boat as him, and to some degree, although we aren't fighting, I was.

I was dating Lisa, but I had feelings for Cas and I didn't know what to do about any of it. I sighed, shaking my head slightly, focusing on knocking down the pins.

With a deep breath, I threw the ball. I watched as it made it almost to the end...

and then it went into the gutter.

I growled, turning to grab another ball, suddenly very glad that Sam wasn't paying me any attention.

I grabbed another ball and stalked up to the lane, nervously. Then Cas was suddenly behind me, whispering in my ear and I felt my face flush.

I chuckled as I got all the pins down, resulting in a spare, and high-fived Cas happily.

When I turned back towards Sam and Gabe, I saw them both looking at me, huge smiles on their faces and I flushed again, quickly looking away.
