Kasey & Valdera By: Lydia Capleton
"Where are you going?!" Kasey tried to hold the brunette's arm only to have it shrugged off as the shorter girl continued to pack her duffle bag.
"Val, PLEASE talk to me! What is happening?" Valdera turned to the shoulder length blonde haired girl and took a deep breath and exhaled before answering.
"I found an apartment downtown it's closer to my job. It just makes sense." Valdera's voice trembled as she threw her duffle bag around her shoulder. "I can't- I love you but I can't be with you. Kasey it hurts too damned much to be here with you."
"NOTHING happened Val why won't you believe me? I love YOU I don't want anyone else." Kasey grabbed her hands and this time Valdera didn't pull away but tears were now flowing from her eyes. "Please don't leave me."
Valdera shook her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeve and cursed when she realized her eyeliner and mascara was now smudged and she knew she looked like a mess. She didn't want to leave in tears. She wanted Kasey to know how angry she was and to leave with her head held high. No she didn't want to leave like this. "You left me!" She told the taller girl and turned around to head for the door.
Kasey grabbed her duffle bag strap to stop her. "It's the Army Val, I can't just not show up you know this and Jasmine...I was just carpooling with her."
Valdera turned around and held her hand up gestured for the other girl to stop. "I needed you and you weren't here. I was hurting and I found this." She turned to the counter grabbed a piece of paper and handed it to Kasey. "I will grab the rest of my things later in the week some time." Valdera turned around and hugged the taller girl. Confused Kasey hugged her back. Embraced Valdera continued to say next to her ear, "we are on two different paths now. You've got your obligations and I need to find my own." She kissed her cheek and with that she left. Kasey opened the letter and instantly recognized it.
"Fuck!" ------------------------- 6 Months earlier
"Two people per box please I do not want to see anyone get hurt today it's too beautiful out!" The head volunteer announced as all the volunteers helped empty the 18-wheeler truck filled with food.
"Do you want to help me with the next one?" The brunette asked the blonde haired girl next to her.
"Yeah sure let's do it." The crate was handed to them and together they moved it to the other side of the parking lot. Forty-five minutes later they sat down and drank from their water bottles. "I'm Kasey" the taller girl introduced herself. "I'm Valdera" they shook hands, "Do you do this often?" Valdera asked. "No, this is my first time just trying to stay busy I guess." Kasey said as she took another sip from her bottle, "What about you?" Valdera took off her hoodie and tied it around her waist. "This is my first time too I just moved here about a month ago. I saw an ad online for this volunteer opportunity and thought why not?" Kasey smiled at her and they were interrupted when someone shouted that they needed more volunteers to help inside. Without saying a word the two made a silent agreement that they were going to volunteer together.
"OK thank you everyone for your help today we really appreciate it! If you need proof that you volunteered today please come back inside and we'll give you a note and don't forget to sign out." The head volunteer shouted.
"Would you like to grab some lunch?" Kasey asked. "Yeah! Oh but I can't I have an interview at 3 today," said Valdera, "But take my number and let's get together some time this week?" Kasey nodded and took out her cell phone. "I will text you so you can have my number as well."
Valdera pulled up to her apartment and walked inside to be greeted by a foul odor evidently coming from the kitchen. "Justine?" Her roommate poked her head around the corner. "Yeah I know I'm sorry I'm trying to salvage the situation here I forgot I was baking this casserole. Sorry!" Valdera opened the windows and the patio door. "Oh good idea" Justine said as she tied the trash bag and left to go outside to the dumpster. Valdera sat down on the built in seating area on the patio when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She looked down to see a text message from a phone number she didn't recognize.
Hey Val, this is Kasey. Let me know if you want to grab coffee or something some time. It was great meeting you.
Valdera smiled as she texted her back. After checking her emails she decided to return inside to get ready for her job interview.
Kasey pulled up into her parking spot and grabbed the bags of groceries from the trunk before heading inside to her apartment. After putting the food away she sat down on the couch and checked her phone.
Valdera: I'm going to the dog park in a few. Would you like to meet?
Kasey: I didn't know you had a dog.
Valdera: I don't, I'm dog sitting for my roommate. It's such a nice day out. I'm going to the one off of Johnson Street if you'd like to join us.
Kasey: Sounds fun. See you there.
Valdera threw the ball towards the other side of the park and the energetic German Shepard/lab mixed dog ran and happily fetched for it. "Drop it. Paw? Good boy Meeko!" She praised him and gave him a treat.
"He's really smart!" A voice said behind her.
"Kasey hi!" Valdera noticed that she was holding two Styrofoam cups. "For me?"
Kasey smiled and handed her one of them. "Yeah it's a bit on the cooler side today even with the sun out. Hot chocolate sounded kind of perfect."
Valdera reached out and wrapped her fingers around the cup and touched Kasey's fingers. Kasey let her hand linger for a few seconds as Valdera said thank you. "You're welcome." She smiled and let go as they began to walk and make small talk.
A few dog owners came into the park and Meeko was now running around with a poodle and boxer. Chasing each other as if they were playing tag or something. "They're like children aren't they?" Kasey commented. "It's quite amusing to watch." They both discarded their empty cups at a near by rubbish bin, sat down on a bench and their knees touched. Valdera looked towards Kasey and noted how pretty the other girl was with her nose slightly pink due to the cool air. The dimples on her face were so adorable to her and she felt her heart skip a bit when Kasey made eye contact with her. "I have a question for you" Valdera stated as she brushed some of Kasey's hair from her face letting the tip of her finger slide against her smooth forehead and side of her face. "OK" Kasey said just above a whisper. Valdera smiled, leaned in and placed her lips against hers. Kasey returned the pressure of her lips and they took turns gently tugging one another's lower lips. Kasey grinned and asked, "What was your question?" Valdera let out a beautiful laugh and said, "I was wondering if you would mind if I did that." Kasey's face got serious and she stood up. Confused Valdera stood up as well. Kasey pulled her body against hers and pressed their lips together again. After a while she smiled against Valdera's face and just above a whisper said, "I didn't mind that at all."
"How did you know?" Kasey asked as they stopped in front of Meeko to let Valdera put on his leash. "What, that I should kiss you?" Valdera asked as she rubbed the dog's belly as he lay on the ground. "Yeah." Kasey confirmed as she crouched down and started rubbing Meeko's head. Valdera shrugged and grabbed Kasey's hand as she stood up leash in the other hand. "It just felt right I guess." Kasey smiled and just nodded in agreement. They continued to walk around the park. "What do you do for work?" Valdera asked. Kasey replied, "I've got a job at an insurance company pretty easy work. I just came back from training for the Army a few months ago." Valdera smiled, "So that it explains that." Kasey looked at her, "explains what?" Valdera gripped her hand a little tighter "Why you're in such great shape." Kasey blushed. "How did your job interview go?" Valdera grabbed her hand with her free one and Kasey intertwined her fingers in hers. "It went really well, I start Monday." They stopped in front of Valdera's car and she let Meeko into the backseat. Woof! He barked. "Hang on, Meeko let me say bye." Valdera laughed and closed the door. "So what are you going to do this weekend?" Kasey asked not really wanting this outing to end. "Well..." Valdera took her hands in hers, "I was hoping we could meet again and get to know each other a little more." Kasey blushed again. You are so damned cute. Valdera thought to herself. Kasey placed her hands on Valdera's head and neck pulled her close as she pressed her warm lips against hers. Valdera complied and decided to rest here hands on the taller girl's waist. Kasey pulled back and gently rubbed her thumb softly against Valdera's lower lip. "I'd like that."
