DENNY'S POV:
I awoke first the next morning, squinting as my eyes adjusted to the morning sunlight streaming in through the cracks in the blinds that hung against my window. Turning to face Casey as I lay in his embrace, I watched him sleep, bringing my hand up, letting my fingertips run gently over his face and down to his neck…
"That tickles" he whispered
"Sorry" I replied, smiling as he opened his eyes, them immediately finding mine
"Don't worry. It was a nice wake up call" he admitted
My smile widened as he leant up and softly pressed his lips to mine, our foreheads resting against each others as we pulled apart…
"Before you ask, I enjoyed last night and don't regret it one little bit" I informed him
"How did you know I was going to ask?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at me
"Women's intuition" I replied, smirking at him as he moved and sat up, resting his head against my headboard, my eyes drifting down to his bare chest
"You okay there?" he asked, breaking me from my trance
"Absolutely fantastic" I informed him "breakfast?"
He nodded his head, signalling yes and I could feel his eyes on me as I climbed out of bed and pulled a pair of pyjama bottoms from my drawer and slipped a vest onto my body too, smiling at him before I left the room…
CASEY'S POV:
I walked through to the kitchen a few minutes after Denny had left her bedroom, finding her humming along to the radio…
"So, what are our plans for today?" I questioned, smirking as I saw her jump
"I don't have any plans with you" she admitted "however, I do have plans with Sash"
"But what about poor old me?" I asked as I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist
"I think you can cope without me for one day, can't you?" she inquired
"I'm going to have to, aren't I?" I asked
She nodded her head, signalling yes, her face moving closer to mine, both of us sighing and pulling apart as my phone began to ring in my suit jacket pocket…
"Hold that thought" I proclaimed, hurrying into the hallway "hello? Yeah, I'll be there in an hour. Okay, bye"
"Work?" she questioned
"Yep" I replied as I walked back into the kitchen "do you mind if I use the shower?"
She shook her head, signalling no… "Just make sure you leave the bathroom clean when you're done"
"Promise" he assured me, kissing my forehead before disappearing from the room
DENNY'S POV:
Casey had brought me to the Bay so I could see Sasha and after we'd said our goodbyes and he'd hurried off home to get organised for work, I made my way into the diner to find Sasha as she finished serving a customer…
"Give me two minutes and then I'm on a break and all yours" she informed me
Smiling at her warmly, I made my way to a vacant table in the corner, Sasha sitting down next to me less than a minute later, setting a drink down in front of me…
"Thank you" I stated
"You're welcome. Now, tell me everything" she proclaimed
"It was perfect, Sash" I sighed contentedly as I recalled the night previous
"He treated you right, didn't he?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow at me
"Of course he did" I replied "it was amazing, Sash, I still can't get over it"
"You've got that morning after glow" she admitted, smirking at me
"I have?! So you can tell I've, y'know?" I inquired
"Don't worry about it" she replied "so it was all as you wanted it to be, yeah?"
I nodded my head, signalling yes as I took a sip of my drink…
CASEY'S POV:
"Hey, handsome" Denny's voice greeted me as I helped to train a client
"Give me two seconds" I informed the client, moving across the gym to Denny "hi"
"Hi" she mirrored "what time do you knock off?"
"In about an hour-and-a-half" I informed her "how come?"
"Well, I was thinking, maybe we could go back to yours?" she suggested "pizza, gelato and a DVD, what do you say?"
"Yes" I replied "I'll text you when I'm finished?"
She nodded her head, signalling yes, leaning up on her tiptoes and pressing her lips against mine… "I'll see you soon"
So things are going from strength to strength for Casey and Denny. How about some drama soon?
