Chapter 2

The next Morning Casey woke up in her bed with a pounding headache. The almost venomous rays from the sun that streamed through the slightly close curtains made her attempt to actually open her eyes even more of an obstacle. Opting for just getting out of bed with her eyes closed, Casey start to wonder 'how in the hell did I get home last night and how in the hell did she end up in just a t-shirt.' She knows she had a little too much to drink last night, ok maybe that was an understatement, but she always seems to remember what happens even if just a little. Making her way to the bathroom, she turns on the lights and tenses a little. 'I just need some pain reliever and some coffee.' Looking up to grab the pills from the cabinet she noticed that either she smeared her makeup off of her pillow really well or it was actually washed off. 'Who help me home last night, I know I couldn't have done it.' With that thought Casey starts to freak out which really doesn't help the hangover that just happens to make her head feel like a damn rock band is going on tour.

She makes her way to her kitchen and to her surprise there is coffee in the pot already brewing.

"What the Hell" Casey silently yells to herself. Flashback from her attack starts run through her mind and Casey grabs the nearest knife. She takes in her surroundings and noticing that everything actually looks alright in the livingroom. As she start walking down her hall, passing her bedroom, she notices the guest bedrooms door is open. 'Someone actually stayed here?' On her way back to the kitchen she hears the sound of the guest bathroom shower turning off. 'How in the hell did I not hear the shower running and who in the Hell has the ardasity to stay at a one night stands house and shower' Casey thought as her fear of someone actually being hear heightens. With the pounding headache and her constant thought running back and forth in her head, Casey doesn't notice the door to the bathroom open.

"Oh Shit", screams the Fin making Casey also scream. Fin grabs his chest trying to calm down his heart rate at the image of a panicked/fear-laced Casey holding a knife standing in defense mode.

"What the Hell Fin"

"Casey just put the knife down ok, I didn't mean to scare you. I just thought that maybe you would actually sleep in from the amount of alcohol you consumed last night"

"Well my head was hurting" says Casey completely forgetting the pain pills that was laying on the counter. "That still doesn't justify what you are doing here"

"Well I assume you don't remember anything, but I brought you home last night after you got shitfaced"

"Oh my god Fin I'm sorry you had to take care of me but thank you" say Casey. 'He actually did protect the merchandise' though Casey while making her way back to the kitchen for her coffee and pills " You didn't have to stay here you know, your protective job ended at the club" she said with a smirk.

"Actually I did leave and go home but you called me back here because as I remember you something along the lines of 'You can't leave the merchandise unattended by itself knowing that I'm drunk' and 'That you was scared to be here alone and having to wake up in the morning not knowing if the merchandise had been manhandled or not' stated Fin with a small laugh.

Casey's face turned a light shade of pink at the fact that she actually called him back to her house. 'Thank god I didn't say anything else, I already pretty much manhandled him with my foot at the bar.' Casey turned around and finally took in the sight before her. Fin stood in front of her in a muscle shirt, that actually lived out the meaning of its name, along with some sweats the hung little low but not low enough to show off anything. 'Oh God If only they actually did hang low?' Why did she just think that? She want to believe that maybe it's just the fact that he actually helped her home and stayed that makes him attractive, but that wouldn't be a total lie. Fin is an attractive man. I mean who could deny him that and the he carries himself gives her that certain bad cop vibe that just adds on the man. But it is not like he actually finds her attractive even though he did say the merchandise was in good shape, It was just a compliment, Right?

Slowly raising her head to look at his face, she notices him looking at her. Had she just been caught checking him out? She quickly averts her eyes back to her hands that is resting on her coffee mug. "Thank you for continuing your job even when you didn't need to"

"It wasn't a problem really it's not like I had anything to actually do, besides it was fun spending time with drunk Casey" Fin chuckled while watch the pinkish color come back to Casey's face. Seeing her get all flustered actually made him smile and the fact the he just caught her checking him out didn't help either. Fin knew Casey was a very attractive woman, any man would find her attractive, but to actually have her checking him out just seemed to boost his ego a bit. 'Wonder if it's actual attraction or just the fact that he stayed with her' Fin thought. For all he knows she probably don't even like to date other races, let along street cop but what she did sitting at the booth couldn't have been just the alcohol. Deciding just to let it ride out Fin ask, " Well I was actually going to go get some breakfast, I can actually wait until you get ready if you want to go"

"Sure just let me take a quick shower and I'll be right out" Casey stated while walking to her bedroom. Grabbing a pair of leggings and a loose fitting top that hung low at the breast, she walked in the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror she gives herself a pep talk " Get it together Casey, you can't be staring the whole time during breakfast" and with the hopped in the shower.

By the time they actually got to the diner it was time for lunch. After sitting down and getting their food, the two actually held up a decent conversation talking about work, learning some other things, and even joking around with the waitress from time to time until Fins phone started ringing the familiar ringtone.

"Sorry we gotta end this early Casey" Fin stated sadly

"It's ok, I understand you have to work and beside I have to do some stuff around my apartment"

"Ah man you and your girlfriend leaving me already. To think I was actually making you guys laugh instead of running you away" laughed the waitress.

Casey practically froze at the word girlfriend and almost died when Fin said "We have to cut our little lunch date short, I gotta call from work. If I could stay I would cause who would want to end this evening." Did he really just say 'date'? 'Casey stop overthinking it he was going along for the waitresses sake' Casey still couldn't help the smile that came across her face at the thought of looking like his girlfriend.

"Well don't be afraid to come back, it's not often that I get a good looking couple like you to come through this place"

"Alrighty then, we'll see you soon." and with that Fin grabbed her hand and they were gone.

Fin parked right outside Casey apartment on their way back from the diner. " So according to the waitress this is my girlfriends stop so the good looking couple must split" chuckled Fin. The thought about him and Casey actually being a couple kept running through his mind. Had they really looked like a couple? Why did neither of them correct the lady? 'Maybe she ,or you, didn't say anything for the waitresses sake'

"Yeah I can't believe she actually thought that but she was so cute and happy at the thought of it" said cause with a smile that caused Fin to smile.

Neither one of them noticed how long they both were staring at each other until Fin's phone ding with a text. Casey opened the door and stepped out and closed the door, making her way up the steps.

"See you Later Casey , keep the merch safe" said Fin waving at Casey while easing out into the road and with that he was gone.

Casey doesn't know why but after cleaning the entire apartment, stocking up the kitchen, and having herself some me time she still couldn't shake the feeling of being called Tutuola's girlfriend. Yeah maybe it was just a misunderstanding but neither of them bother to correct the woman and to be honest she feels as if they didn't really want too. Sitting on her couch she starts to think about their time together and she can honestly say she has never smiled that much. Speaking of that night before, Fin never told her what actually happened when she got shitfaced.

Picking up her phone, not noticing the time stated 11:35, she sent him a quick text asking him about it, all while hoping that he wasn't busy so she could get some answers soon.

No later than 10 minutes, Casey phone starts ringing. She picks it up and answers it "Hello"

"Well hello my good looking other half, I was just on my way out the precinct when I got you text. So you wanna know how shitfaced you got last night?"

"Yeah well we never really talked about what happened at the club"

"Well I'm actually not that far, I can come over and we can talk about it" There was a long pause and Fin was starting to get worried that he asked a little too much until she finally answered with the ok.

Standing outside her apartment door Fin was getting a little nervous and not understanding why. 'Man calm down, You are a detective for christ sakes and it's just a conversation with Casey about the other night' Fin stated to himself as he knocked on the door. The conversation didn't help because he would have to tell Casey how touchy she actually gets when alcohol is involved. And at that thought Casey opened the door.

Walking in and taking a seat on the couch, Fin takes his jacket off and slightly throws it on the chair in the corner. "Well where do you want me to start?" asked Fin looking towards Casey who is coming back with the beers.

"Um the last thing I sort of remember is the conversation about the whole merchandise thing when we returned" lied Casey. She fully remember running her foot up his leg while showing him as much of the jugs as possible.

"Well I see why you barely remember that part because that's where you downed multiple shots as if it was water" chuckled Fin. He started sweating a little at the thought of just mentioned the entire situation. "Well you were drunk and thanked me for protecting the 'merchandise' but do you know you actually get very touchy when drunk"

'OH SHIT' Casey thought out loud making Fin laugh.

"Well Oh Shit is corrected because you practically stayed close to me the entire night until you, Olivia, and Alex wanted to go dancing. Me and Elliot really didn't want you guys to go by yourselves knowing all you off could barely walk so we sent Munch home in a cab and went to the dancefloor." Fin started to fidget in his sit making Casey get worried a little." Umm well while we were on the floor of course you told me that I was your personal bodyguard so I couldn't leave you alone ,which I wasn't planning on doing anyway. After a couple you songs- and more shots- you started to dance with Alex. Elliot and Olivia were doing their own thing but before I realize there was some dude trying to grab you and Alex so I stop. Then you and alex grab and started dancing with me, after that I brought you home because dancing was something you could no longer accomplish" Fin laughed. He purposely forgot to mention the part about her practically humping him on the dance floor because that could be saved for another time.

Casey just sat their shocked at how much happened that she really didn't remember."Oh My God Fin I'm so sorry. I know how I can get sometimes. I am suprised I didn't practically dry hump you on the floor" Casey stated before she realized it and turned to see Fin with a smirk on his face

"SHIT, I did it didn't I." Fin shook his head yeah. Casey doesn't know why but she could feel the tears swelling up in her eyes. She quickly turned from Fin trying to avoid his stare but was the fortunate.

"Casey, Why are you crying? There is nothing to cry for. You weren't that bad I mean i have delt with a drunk Munch before." Fin stated slowly take Casey in his arms for a hug.

Casey made a mistake lifting her head because with the way her head was positioned on his chest, their lips were barely touching. "Fin"

"Yeah Case" Fin said all licking his full lips.

"Thank…" She couldn't finish her sentence because Fins lips softly caressed hers. It was something about his lips that made a fire burn within Casey. She never felt lips so soft and warm yet demanding all in one. Not really thinking of her action, Casey opened her mouth to allow his tongue access while lifting her leg up to straddle him.

Fin let out a low growl from within when he felt Casey starting to rock against his arousal. When air became and necessity, Fin let her bottom lip go with a pop and made his way down to Casey's pulse point below her ear earning a moan. Casey couldn't help the rush that was going through body with the things that Fin was doing to it, but she felt the need t rock faster against him. Fins hands left her side and slowly made his way up to her breast and squeezed them through her shirt.

"Oh Fin! That Feel So…" Was the last thing that Casey moaned before the ear screeching sound of Fin's phone sounded off the his caption ringtone.

"Damnit" both of them said in unison.
