STATUS: Complete
CATEGORY: D/J, uh...maybe another, but no-one's online for me to ask so you'll have to make do :)
RATING: PG-13 for a few bad words I think
SEASON/SEQUEL: Cassie's mentioned so after the ep she appears in, but other then that you can make up whatever season/ep you want :)
There probably won't be a sequel unless I get really inspired, but there may :)
SPOILERS: uh...not unless you count the ep Cassie turns up in
SUMMARY: Daniel being a total idiot, and Janet with red wine and vanilla essential oil burning.
DISCLAIMER: They aren't mine, I'm only playing and I'll give them back soon, k? Please don't sue me...

I light the tea light candle and carefully blow out the match. I’m feeling in a melancholy mood and the gentle scent of vanilla will be just what I need.

I settle down on my couch with my glass of wine and stare into space, letting my mind wander wherever it wants.

Guys are stupid. End of story.

I nod my head slightly, in agreement to what my mind has just told me.

Have you any idea what that asshole did today? That asshole that I’ve somehow fallen in love with.

I asked him if he wanted to come see Cassie tonight since it’s her birthday soon…and what does he say?

“Oh uh…I’m sorry…I have a lot of work to do…”

I smack the glass down hard, spilling a little of the warm, red colored liquid onto the glass coffee table in the center of the room. I glare at the rapidly-spreading red stain in anger. But I can’t hold my anger for long. How can I stay mad for long at such an adorable, huggable man? Trust me…from long experience, it’s impossible.

I sigh and the soft vanilla scent drifts over to me, softly caressing my nose and I smile at the familiar scent. Most people say that chocolate makes them feel better about guy problems. But I’m pretty sure vanilla does a better job at making you forget.

Guys may be stupid…but this one is possibly the nicest one I’ve ever met, even if he does get so absorbed in work all the time. Just once…I’d love for him to get that absorbed in me. But it’ll never happen.

He’s so cute and adorable. Totally huggable and most definitely kissable.

My ex-husband…now he was a totally different type of person. He treated woman like possessions to be used and thrown aside like an old rag. I knew it from the start of course, but I was young, and foolishly thought that marriage would change that.

For a while, I lived in a blissful state, thinking that he had really changed and that I now had everything I needed and could possibly ever want. A husband, a career, children hopefully on the way…but then I caught him in bed, cheating on me with my best friend.

I walked out, filed for divorce and I haven’t seen him since.

I also never fell in love again, until now that is.

I notice that my wine has mysteriously disappeared, and that the tea light candle has burnt out, long ago. Time to go to bed, and sink into dreams where I’m with him, and everything is the way it should be.

Hey, a girl can dream, right?
