The alarm went off on Allie's watch, but was barely hearable over the music "Shit, we have to go" she called to Nikki. They were both still dancing with the boys, though this time it was a slow song.
Nikki nodded "Ok, I don't want to get into trouble with your sister" she looked at Brice. Allie was right, he had been nicer than TJ, but he still was a little much for Nikki "Thanks for a great night. I had a blast"
Brice smiled "Me too. We can do it again soon. There's another party on Wednesday night, you in?"
She smiled too "I'll see if I can pencil you in" she said teasingly Did I just say that? She asked herself I've never been a tease before!
Brice leaned over and kissed her sweetly on the lips before he let her go "A preview of coming attractions" he said
Nikki laughed a little "Interesting. See ya around"
Allie laughed as she walked up to Nikki "Damn, nice line! You're going to fit in with them, and Brice likes ya, I can totally tell" she winked as they started walking down the beach toward the house.
The two laughed as they noticed Bradin and Cassi weren't back from their date yet "Bradin would kill me if he knew I did this tonight" Nikki said laughing
Allie smirked "That's the fun of this life, it's the quiet things that no one ever knows. Now come on, we need to change into different clothes before they show up" The two ran upstairs to change, knowing their siblings would be home soon
"So, I have to ask" Bradin said, looking at Cassi "Was the response 'I suppose' the yes to the will you be my girlfriend question?"
Cassi smiled and her eyes seemed to glisten in the light "Yes, it was, is that alright with you?" she said
Bradin smiled too "Yeah, its perfect" She leaned her head on his shoulder as he pulled into the driveway "I don't want it to end so soon, but I do have a 12:00 curfew"
Cassi nodded "I totally understand, plus your sister needs to get home too. Maybe you can sleep over one night" she said winking as she climbed out of the car.
He laughed as he ran around the other end, and before she had a chance to stop him, picked her up off her feet "To save my beautiful girl the trouble of walking" he said simply
Cassi kicked her feet "Bradin, put me down!" she squeaked, trying to wiggle out of his grip
He laughed "If you keep doing that, I'm going to drop you and you'll break yourself. I'll put you down in a minute, relax baby"
"I don't want to, put me down!" she whined as he made his way up to her front stairs.
He laughed and kissed her sweetly as he stopped at the top of the stairs "I had so much fun tonight with you Cassi"
She cuddled into his chest "I had fun too" they stood there, just looking at each other for a while before she spoke again "My house keys are in my pocket, either you have to put me down so I can get them or can you get them."
Bradin laughed "I don't want to put you down, so I'll get them, where are they?"
She rolled her eyes "My back left pocket" She noticed him smile and begin to shift her weight so he could get them "Maybe I should do it" she said hesitantly
He laughed "No, I'm quite capable" he said, slowly sliding his hand down her back and into her pocket, pulling out the keys "Now was that so bad?" he asked mockingly
She bit her lip "No, I guess not" He opened the door and set her down just inside the house. The two walked into the house to hear the theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean and see the glow of the TV, they heard the girls fighting over who was hotter, Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom "Hey, you two, we're home!" Cassi called
"Hey sis" Allie said, looking over the couch "You're home earier than expected"
"Bradin has a curfew and I couldn't just let Nikki stay up all night with you" She laughed "I don't believe in cruel and unusual punishment for people who aren't in my control"
Allie glared at her "We had fun tonight, though, no matter what she says, I think Johnny Depp is so much hotter in this movie than Orlando Bloom" Both girls laughed
"We had a blast" Nikki said, smiling "I think we're going to be good friends, but enough about us, what about you two?"
"Nicole Westerly" Bradin said, shocked this was coming out of his sister's mouth "None of your business." All four of them laughed "Come on Nikki, aunt Ava will freak if I'm past curfew"
Nikki got up and grabbed her stuff "Ok Brae" she said sweetly as he rolled his eyes "Bye Allie, see ya soon"
"Bye Nikki" Allie said as they walked out the door. "Sooo Cass, what's the 411. I saw the look in your eye, I want all the details!"
Cassi laughed and sat next to her sister on the couch "Maybe when you're older" she said jokingly "No, it was nice, we walked on the beach, and he had this whole picnic planned in one of the coves, it was really nice. It's good to be with a good guy, and he's everything Callie said he was, I just hope he doesn't turn into my nightmare like he did for Cal, dreams apparently fade into nightmares"
Allie nodded "I get it Cass, but let him try to be the dream, you never know, he might be Prince Charming in disguise, I mean, we never knew about his past in the moves" They both laughed
"Thanks AL, maybe I will, I'm just not so sure I like the new label I made for myself 'Bradin's Girlfriend', I don't know I don't like the sound of it"
Allie smiled "Try it on for size, you might like it" she hugged her sister tightly, then the two lay on the couch, turning on the movie again (Or so Cassi thought)
"So Bradin, what's the deal, is she your new trophy?" Nikki asked as they drove home
"NIKKI" Bradin replied quickly "I wouldn't do that. Don't even go there. I know I was like that before, but Karma has a way of kicking you in the ass, and I'm done with that pain. Yes, she is my girlfriend, but we're going to go much slower, on our own terms"
Nikki smiled "Good, because I think Cassi is perfect for you, and I really like Allie, we're getting to be good friends. I think we both came out winners tonight"
Bradin nodded "I think so too" he kissed his sister lightly on the head "I think it's going to be a good summer"
