CASEY'S POV:
I was busy at Angelo's helping Brax set up for Caitilyn's birthday party when I heard footsteps. Turning to the entrance, I saw Ben making his way over to me…
"What are you doing here? I told you, my brother said no." I informed him
"What are you doing here?" Brax questioned as he made his way back through from the kitchen
"Just wondered if Casey had time for a little chat?" Ben inquired, raising an eyebrow at Brax
"Well he doesn't." Brax informed him "we've got too much to do. Now if you don't mind…"
Ben held his hands up in defence and made his way to the exit… "I'll be seeing you, Case."
Sighing heavily, I turned back to the bar…
"What was that?" Brax questioned
"He just wanted a chat, like he said." I replied
"About what?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at me
"Don't know, do I? Seeing as though you got rid of him…" I informed him
"Less of the lip," he warned "now let's get back to it. There's a lot to be done."
Nodding my head in agreement, I made my way to set up the tables…
RICKY'S POV:
I made my way into Angelo's with Irene, Bianca, Aaron and Caitilyn later that afternoon, gasping as I saw the restaurant had been transformed into a Princess's castle, just like Brax and I had arranged. Handing Caitilyn to Irene as Brax walked out of the kitchen, I made my way over to him and leant up on my tiptoes to kiss him softly…
"What was that for?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me
"No reason." I replied, kissing him once again before moving back to Irene and Bianca
BRAX'S POV:
It was halfway through Caitilyn's present time when I noticed Casey slip out of the restaurant. Kissing Ricky's cheek, I stood up and slipped out too, following him out of the surf club, watching from afar as he made his way over to Ben…
CASEY'S POV:
"We've got another job…" Ben informed me as I reached him
"What is it?" I questioned
He motioned to the surf club and Angelo's… "Your brother's restaurant."
"What? No way!" I proclaimed
"Casey, Casey, Casey," he chuckled "it's a non-negotiable deal. Monday night, 11pm. Be here or face the consequences."
Slapping my cheek, he walked away and I sighed heavily, kicking the wooden barrier as I ran my hands over my face…
"Case?" Denny's voice inquired
"Hey." I greeted her, forcing a smile onto my face
"Sorry I'm late. Mum's car wouldn't start." she informed me
"Don't worry, the party's only just begun. Let's get in there." I replied
RICKY'S POV:
Brax made his way back into the restaurant, closely followed by Casey and Denny, the three of them making their way to the bar. Handing Caitilyn to Bianca, I made my way over to them too…
"Hey, we didn't think you were coming." I admitted as I reached Denny
"Mum's car wouldn't start," she informed me "I bought Caitilyn this."
"You didn't have to," I replied as I took the gift bag from her and took a look inside at the dress she'd bought her and smiled warmly "thank you."
"Do you like it? If not, I've got the receipt so you can change it." she questioned
"I love it, and Katie's gonna look gorgeous in it." I informed her "Shall we get you a drink?"
She nodded her head, signalling yes…
BRAX'S POV:
"What were you and Ben talking about?" I questioned as Ricky and Denny made their way to the drinks table
"What?" he inquired
"When you went outside and walked over to him," I informed him "I saw it all, Case. You looked pretty worried. What was he saying to you?"
"He wants me to help him rob somewhere." he admitted
"Casey, please tell me you said no?" I begged
"Of course I did!" I replied "I'm not that stupid. But he's still gonna go ahead with it…"
"Then on his head be it," I stated "and from now on, stay away from him. He's bad news.
"I will." he assured me
RICKY'S POV:
"I think we wore our little people out…" I chuckled as Brax and I pulled into the driveway as the sun set on the Bay, glancing back at Aaron and Caitilyn who were both fast asleep in their car seats
"Do you think we can get them both into their pyjamas and into bed without waking them?" he questioned
I nodded my head, signalling yes, unbuckling my seatbelt and climbing out of the car, moving to Caitilyn's side of the car, Brax doing the same and moving to Aaron's side of the car…
BRAX'S POV:
"That's everything," I informed Ricky as I brought the last load of presents we'd loaded into the car boot earlier that afternoon as I set them down on the floor and moved to sit next to her on the sofa "it's official, our little lady has been spoilt."
She smiled at me warmly as she moved closer to me and glanced at all the bags… "Yes she has. I better get started on finding a place for it all."
"How about we leave it till Heath and Bianca take her and Aaron to the zoo tomorrow? Have a clear out of all their old stuff to make way for the new?" I suggested
"Are you just trying to get me into bed?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow at me
"Is it working?" I questioned
She nodded her head, signalling yes, standing up from the sofa, holding her hand out to me…
So Caitilyn's birthday party went off with only a couple of hitches, and now Casey's in the know about Ben planning to rob Angelo's, what will he do?
