DENNY'S POV:
Casey and I left the diner an hour later and decided to take a walk on the beach, making our way to the quieter side so we could act more like a couple. Jumping onto his back, locking my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, he turned his head to me…
"Alright up there?" he questioned
"Aha" I replied, pressing a kiss to his cheek "thanks"
"No problem" he chuckled, continuing to walk along the beach
"Case, stop" I proclaimed a few minutes later
"What?" he asked as I climbed off of his back
Motioning up at the rocks, we saw Matt sat on one… "Do you mind if I…?"
He shook his head, signalling no… "I'll see you for your surf lesson later, yeah?
"Yeah" I replied, kissing him quickly before we said goodbye and walked off in opposite directions
I made my way across the beach and up to the rocks, not saying a word as I reached Matt, sitting down next to him…
"You and Casey looked all buddy again?" he inquired
"He's explained things to me, and I forgive him" I admitted
"Yet he couldn't come up here with you to do the same thing to me" he scoffed
"I think he was worried you might punch him again" I informed him
"I might have done" he admitted
"And violence is gonna solve this messed up situation, is it?" I questioned
"How am I meant to forgive her?" he asked
"Same way she's forgiven you for bringing alcohol to the prom" I replied
"The situations aren't the same though, are they?" he inquired
"No, but Sasha's forgiven you for being an idiot, can't you do the same for her?" I asked
Matt stayed silent for a while and I glanced at him… "Matt?"
"I don't know" he admitted "maybe given time, yeah"
"I'm gonna go and leave you to think about things" I informed him, placing my hand on his shoulder as I stood up "don't do anything stupid, okay?"
"What, like throw myself off of here?" he questioned
"Matt" I sighed, running my hands through my hair
"Joking" he assured me "thanks for the chat though, I appreciate it. And as for you and Casey…"
"What about me and Casey?" I inquired
"It's about time" he replied, smiling at me warmly
"About time for what?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him
"That you two got together" he informed me "and don't try and tell me you're not because I saw the way you two were together, and I saw you kiss him"
"We're keeping it quiet for now" I admitted
"I thought Casey would wanna shout it from the rooftops" he replied
"He does, and so do I, but aren't relationships so much better when they're not out in the open for everyone to judge?" I inquired
He nodded his head, signalling yes…
"I'll see you soon" I informed him, bending down to kiss his cheek before making my way off the rocks and back down to the beach
CASEY'S POV:
"I thought we were meant to be meeting at the beach?" I questioned as I opened the door to Denny a while later
"I can always go…?" she suggested
"No, no, no" I replied, pulling her back to the doorway as she went to walk back down the drive "what are you doing here anyway?"
"It's about Matt…" she admitted
"What are you planning?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her
"I think you need to speak to him about you and Sash" she informed me "and he knows about us by the way"
"Do you think me talking to him is gonna help? And how?" I inquired
"It might help him work things out in his head" she replied "and because he saw us together whilst he was sat on the rocks, but he knows and understands we're keeping it quiet"
I smiled at her warmly… "Okay, I'll go and see him"
"Thank you" she proclaimed, wrapping her arms around my neck
"What do I get as a thank you?" I questioned, wrapping my arms around her waist
She smiled at me warmly and pressed her lips against mine, someone clearing their throat pulling us apart…
"Sorry" I admitted as Brax stood in the doorway
"Yeah, sorry" Denny mirrored as we moved to the side
"No problem" he replied, making his way into the house "so when did this happen then?"
"Yesterday" I informed him
"So it's too soon to invite you to a barbecue, is it?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at Denny
I glanced at Denny and raised an eyebrow at her…
"If that's okay with you?" she asked
I nodded my head, signalling yes…
"Is that a yes then?" Brax inquired
"Yeah" I informed him
"Great" he replied, making his way out to the back yard
So Casey's going to speak to Matt about his kiss with Sasha; how do you think that's going to go? And Denny's been invited to a Braxton barbecue, how do you think that's going to go?
