DENNY'S POV:
I made my way into the kitchen early on the morning of Casey's birthday, Ricky quickly covering whatever she was doing with a towel…
"Phew, it's only you" she sighed with relief, removing the towel from the birthday cake
"Did you make that?" I questioned
She nodded her head, signalling yes… "Do you like it?"
"It looks too good to eat" I proclaimed
"Well unfortunately it's going to be" she informed me "how long do you think it'll be before Casey wakes up?"
"I can go and get him up now if you like?" I suggested
"No, no, don't worry" she replied "I'm gonna make a start on breakfast as soon as Brax is back with the supplies needed"
"Here he is" I informed her as the front door opened, Brax making his way through to the kitchen, hands laden with bags
"What are you two talking about?" he asked as he set the bags down on the worktop
"Just when I should get Casey up" I informed him
"Now" he replied "we're gonna go for an early morning surf"
"Do you mind waiting an hour?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at him
"Why?" he asked
"The present I've got him is a new, engraved surfboard" I informed him "I want him to take it out"
"That's lovely" Ricky proclaimed, smiling at me warmly
"Do you think he'll like it?" I questioned
"Who'll like what?" Casey's voice asked, myself, Brax and Ricky all turning to him
"Nothing to do with you" I informed him "how about we go back to bed?"
"Do I not get a birthday kiss first?" he questioned
"You can get more than just a birthday kiss if you follow me" I replied
"Behave, kids!" Brax proclaimed as we hurried into the bedroom
CASEY'S POV:
An hour later Denny and I made our way back through to the kitchen having gotten showered and dressed, both of us seeing a birthday breakfast set up on the table…
"Thanks, Ric" I stated, kissing her cheek softly
"It wasn't all her, y'know…" Brax informed me
"Oh, thanks, Brax" I replied, moving to kiss his cheek too
"Don't you dare!" he proclaimed
"Where's the birthday boy?" Heath's voice questioned as he and Bianca walked inside
"Happy Birthday, Casey" Bianca greeted me, handing me a card and a bag
"Thank you" I replied, kissing her cheek softly as I took both things from her
DENNY'S POV:
The birthday breakfast had been devoured and now Casey was in the middle of opening all his presents. Thanking Brax and Ricky for the watch they'd bought him, he arrived at mine, smiling at me warmly as he read the tag…
"Thank you!" he proclaimed as he tore off the wrapping paper
"Do you like it?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him
"I love it" he informed me, pulling me closer to him and kissing me softly "thank you"
"Case, what does that say?" Bianca asked, motioning to the engraving at the bottom of the board
"To Casey, happy birthday, I love you, love, Denny xx" he informed her
"Denny, that's adorable!" she proclaimed
"This must've cost you a fortune" he sighed as he turned to me
"Mr. Stewart had a contact in Yabbie Creek who did it for cheap" I informed him
"Thank you" he replied, kissing me once again
"You're welcome" I stated, smiling at him warmly as we pulled apart
Happy Birthday, Casey! What else do you think is in store for Casey's birthday?
