A/N: Sorry there's been so few updates this week. I started my yearly
holiday job at Toys R Us, and you can just imagine how I've felt after
working there. I'll try and post at least another chapter this weekend.
Until next time-A very tired PCGirl.

The ringing phone woke him out of a dead slumber, and he had to slowly try and release Alison's grip around him as he got up out the bed-his eyes still closed as he felt for the phone, "Hello?" he grumbled.
"Are you still asleep?" laughed Casey on the other end.
"What time is it?" he asked as he finally opened his eyes to see Alison lying on her stomach, the sheet covering only the lower half of her back.
"Ten o'clock."
"Yeah, I guess I slept in a little late," he grinned, remembering the night before. "So what's up, Casey?"
"I was just wondering, if you weren't busy, if you could meet me in about an hour."
"Yeah, let me get a shower, and I'll meet you. Where though?"
"The overlook is fine. See ya later."
"I'll be there," he said hanging up the phone. He would leave Alison a note, and then be back before she knew it.
--------
She slowly rolled over and then came to the realization of where she was, "Chris," she said looking up and not seeing him around. "Chris!" she yelled louder, thinking he may be in the kitchen.
"Hey, you're awake," he said as he came in with a cup of coffee.
"For me?" she asked as she took it from his hands.
"Well, actually no-it was for me, but you can have it. I'm running late for work anyways. Let yourself out, ok?" he said as he turned to leave.
"Chris, wait. You aren't leaving because of last night, are you?"
---------
Yesterday three people, including her mom in a dream, told her to give up getting the truth out of Caleb and go back to him. Maybe they were right- fine they were all right. So she got up from Jack's couch, and went to get a cup of tea. Jack had left for a few errands, and would be back later. When he did, they were going to get Caleb out of the loft, and take out the cameras down. She went to unplug the monitor when her eye caught Caleb. He looked so sexy, and she definitely missed him. He was walking over to the door and opened it, "Busted," she said as she watched him bring Karissa inside. She grabbed her jacket and was out the door-leaving the monitor on.
----------
"So what's going on?" asked Rafe as he walked up behind Casey. She seemed to be taking note of the city pretty diligently. "Is there something you know about what Caleb's up to?"
"No, this has nothing do with Caleb. Ricky and I have decided to leave this town."
"Really? That's great. I mean you have nothing to hold you back this time, no guardian angel job, no trying to figure out who the fifth chair was. Go for it."
"Thanks," she smiled. "We spent most of the night packing stuff up, we'll probably be leaving later this afternoon. But you know me and you-we'll always have that angel bond."
"Oh yeah, of course we will. But we shouldn't see each other up there for at least seventy years."
"Why not one hundred?" she shrugged.
"But we can still stay in touch down here. If you ever need someone to talk to."
"You're my man."
-----
"No, last night was wonderful. I'm just really late for work," he said looking at his watch again.
"Ok, good. Because I was worried that after everything from last night that our friendship would change, and you are a really good friend, Chris."
"You are a good friend too Elizabeth. Now can I please get to work?" he begged.
"I suppose so," she sighed as he began to walk out of the room, and then did a 180 in the hall and returned again.
"What is it?" he said with frustration in his voice.
"I'm just worried that you don't like me now."
--------
"What brings you here, again?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. This was getting old, and he hadn't heard anything about Rafe and Alison getting further apart-actually he thought that they might have got through everything, with no help to her.
"I just wanted to say I missed you," she said walking towards him. "I figured that you and Livvie hadn't been together in quiet sometime, and if you ask nicely then maybe I'll help you relieve that stress," she finished by placing her lips against him.
"Ahem," said Livvie as she stood at the door, watching her husband kissing this tramp.
-------
"Hey, remember that question you asked me at the barn? The one where you asked would I have stayed up there if I had known what was going to happen this past year?"
"Yeah?"
"You knew the answer already, didn't you?"
"Of course," she said as they hugged.
"Never forget why you got your second chance, Casey," he said in the embrace.
"I won't," she said as they pulled out and just looked at each other. "Peace out," she said as she started to walk backwards with a smile.
"Bye, Casey," he said as he watched her leave. He thought about going back home, but then decided to stop by Ian's and pick up the picture he left there the night before.
---------
"Listen to me Elizabeth. I am not leaving right now because I don't like you. I'm leaving because I have a job-and have to be there in five minutes. It takes me fifteen minutes to get to the hospital, get a parking spot, and get in the building. So can you PLEASE let me leave?"
"Someone didn't have their coffee this morning," she said as she took a sip of his.
"Because you are drinking it. I'll see you tonight, ok?"
"Fine," she said as she continued to sit in his bed as he left. "I'll just have to go and see what Iris is up to later," she smiled.
--------
"Olivia," said Caleb as he pulled away from Karissa. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, it is my home also, dear husband. I've got a better question though, but it's for our little tramp here," she said walking over to where Karissa was standing. "What are you doing here with my husband?"
"It wasn't anything, Livvie. I swear it wasn't," she begged, knowing the truth was just the opposite. When they finally realized what she was up to it would be too late.
"Looked like something from the door when I walked in." Her emotions were running away, and she wasn't sure what to do just then. She looked over at Caleb, and though there was regret in his eyes, it didn't seem like he completely hated that kiss. She started to think what else the kiss may have led to, and it caused her to start crying. With tears in her eyes, she turned and ran, slamming the door behind her.
Caleb sighed, he should go running after her. "You-out of my place-NOW!" he ordered Karissa, as she decided to obey his command and leave.
