Cassie woke up to a pair of light blue eyes admiring her. They softly smiled at each other.
"Hi," Cassie's sweet, angelic voice greeted Jake.
"Hey," Jakes deep and raspy voice spoke up. He slid his hand onto her waist under the covers. "Last night was amazing,"
"It was," she confirmed and looked up at the stars on the ceiling. She could still feel his eyes burning through her from the side. "Stop staring, its not polite," she teased.
"Sorry, but I can't help myself. There's a beautiful and sexy girl right beside me," he watched her smile.
After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Jake spoke up. "Thank you,"
"For what?" Cassie looked at him.
"For choosing me,"
"Jake—"
Before she got a chance to answer, her phone rang. It was Adam. "Hey," she breathed out.
"Hey, Cas. Do you want to grab breakfast with me before the circle meeting?"
"Uh," Cassie looked at a scowling Jake. "I'm sorry, but I just woke up. I still have to get a shower and everything,"
"Oh," disappointment was heard in his voice. "Well, maybe another time?"
"Maybe," she lied. "Bye, Adam. I've got to go. See you later." she ended the phone call.
"Are you actually thinking about going to breakfast with him another time after what happened between us?"
"No, I just said that to wrap up the conversation," she turned to Jake. "Besides; why would I want to ruin what we have?"
"True, true," he kissed her lips.
Cassie got out of bed and went to get a shower. Two minutes later, she felt rough hands grip her hips. She turned around and found Jake smirking down at her. "I thought you were going to get a shower at your house?"
With no answer, Jake kissed her neck. She moaned in pleasure and Jake hoisted her up, around his waist.
Round two has begun.

"Wait," Cassie stopped in her tracks. "No one can know about us,"
"What?" Jake let go of her hand.
"It'll break Adam and Faye will just create a big storm,"
Jake sighed. "I guess you're right,"
"Then get away from me," she kissed his cheek and gently pushed him to the side.
Jake smiled and put his hands up in surrender.
"Wow, Barbie and Ken finally showed up," Faye exclaimed.
"What took you guys so long?" Diana asked as soon as Jake and Cassie stepped into the abandoned house. Jake gave Cassie a small look from the side of his eye.
"We stopped for gas and then stopped at the boathouse. I forgot my purse there," Cassie lied, knowing exactly what made them late.
"You could've just told me to get it for you," Adam said.
"I just remembered when we were on our way here,"
"Yeah, but—" Adam tried to continue, but Jake interrupted.
"So, what was the circle meeting for?"
Cassie internally thanked him for saving her ass before sitting down on one of the couches.
"Well, I planned it because I've been feeling like someone's following me..." Diana spoke up. "And my balcoin scar starts to itch at the weirdest times,"
"Are you sure you aren't just paranoid?" Faye bluntly asked.
"I know I'm not paranoid, Faye!" Diana stressed. "I know somethings not right," she took a seat on the couch with Cassie.
"Has anything happened to you?" Diana turned to Cassie.
"My scar gets itchy but, no one has been following me," Cassie answered. "At least it hasn't felt like it,"
"Okay, okay. This is just some weird thing going on with them. Lock your doors and put some itch cream on. I want to go shopping," Faye stood up with Melissa.
"Do you guys want to come?" Melissa asked Diana and Cassie.
"Sure, I guess it'll take my mind off this... stuff," Diana put on her jacket. "Cassie? You coming?"
Cassie looked over at Jake. His eyes silently told her to go, even though his heart didn't want her to leave.
Cassie stood up from the couch and followed the rest of the girls out of the abandoned house. Her red crop top rising up from the cold breeze, revealing the lacy pink bra that laid underneath.
"Would you look at that," Faye smirked. "And who may that be for, sweet, innocent, little Cassie?"
Cassie rolled her eyes. "No one,"
"Was it... Adam?" Faye knew she was pushing Cassie's buttons, but Cassie didn't let herself burst out.
"Faye," Diana warned. "Leave her alone,"
"Fine," she sighed. "But that's not the last of it,"
As they made their way to Diana's car, Cassie remembered something. "Can you guys wait for a minute? I left my purse in Jakes car,"
"Sure," the girls got into the car and waited for Cassie.
She jogged back to the abandoned house to find Jake. He was on his way out, locking the door, when he saw her coming. Adam had already left.
"Already coming back to me, huh?" He teased.
She smiled. "Can you unlock your car? I forgot my purse,"
They made their way to his car. "You couldn't of just unlocked it with your magic?"
"Okay, okay. Maybe I did want to come back to see you," she giggled. Jake smirked and unlocked his car for Cassie. Jake sat in the drivers seat as Cassie bent down to get her purse that was on the car floor. They shared a quick kiss in secret, before Cassie went back to Diana's car.

Cassie got a few sexy outfits, which wasn't really a big thing since she's been wearing them these past few weeks.
But right now, Cassie and Jake were at Cassie's house watching Netflix together. As Cassie passed by the front door with the buttered popcorn, she saw Adam pull up in front of her house.
She gasped. "Jake!"
"What is it?" He sat up.
"Adams here. What if he comes in and sees you?" Cassie panicked.
Jake quickly got Cassie's book of shadows off the coffee table from when they were practicing magic and opened it up to the invisibility spell.
"Quick. Read this chant," they held hands and Cassie said the chant.
When she opened her eyes, Jake was invisible and non-noticeable. The doorbell rang and that was Cassie's reminder that she has to deal with Adam.
"Oh, hey," Cassie breathed out when she opened the door. Adam smiled at her.
"Hey, Cas," he greeted. "Can I come in for a minute?"
"Uh, sure," she opened the door wider.
They took a seat on the couch, just where Jake and Cassie were a few minutes ago.
"What's wrong?" Cassie furrowed her eyebrows.
"You are what's wrong," Adam grabbed a hold of her hand. Cassie stared at their hands in confusion. "You seemed to be acting a little weird at the circle meeting. Is everything okay?"
"Everything's fine, Adam," Cassie got a bit aggravated.
"Are you sure, Cassie? You know you can tell me anything,"
"I said everything was okay," She itched her scarred palm. "Maybe you should leave," they stood up.
"Cassie," he grabbed her hand. "Maybe I should stay here for the night. Just in case you're safe from whoever's following Diana?"
"That isn't necessary. I'll be okay," Cassie tried to get him to leave. Adam shook his head. "Seriously, Adam,"
"I don't believe you,"
"You should,"
"Cas," Adam grabbed her face in both of his hands. "I know something isn't right. Just... let me relax you for a bit," he started to lean in.
Before Cassie could stop him, Jake made the front door open, which hit Adams back, hard.
"You should leave," Cassie slightly pushed him outside and shut the door in his face.
As she watched him drive off through the window, she shouted. "Jake! Meet me at the couch!"
"Are you in front of me?" She asked, seconds later.
"Yeah," his deep voice answered. He grabbed Cassie's hands and she reversed the spell.
"That was honestly so cool," Cassie grinned, widely. When she noticed Jake didn't look happy, her smile fell.
"What?"
"Adam," he said. "He doesn't know when to stop, does he?"
"He was just being concerned," she said.
"Why didn't you just tell him to leave first thing?"
"Because he is still my friend," she answered. "I had to be nice,"
Jake sighed and wrapped his arms around Cassie and she leaned into his chest. "You are way too good for me..."
