Okay, I know I am a loser. I promised an update 3 weeks ago and am just now giving you a very short one. I was sick that weekend I promised an update and then I have been super busy with school since I'm graduating in May (hopefully). College sucks! I started this chapter forever ago and just kinda wrote more so I could get something up. It took me some place I wasn't expecting to go so who knows where we will go from here. I am really going to try to update soon but it will probably be at least a few weeks before I can. Please stay with me... I'm not going to abandon this I promise. Thanks for reading!!!

Chapter 10

Jason pulled Casey closer to him and smelled her hair, still not quite believing she was here, in his bed, with him. He had had the greatest night of his life and wasn't ready for it to end just yet.

Casey was still asleep, wearing only the Yankee's t-shirt she had borrowed the previous night and Jason was mesmerized by how cute she looked while sleeping. Her mouth was barely open and a drop of drool glistened at the corner of her top lip.

Casey could almost feel someone staring at her and was brought back to reality when she felt someone beside her move. She had been having the most wonderful dream. Her and Jason had finally gotten together and she didn't want to wake up to the dreaded actuality of her life.

Then it dawned on her that no one should be beside her and she opened her eyes as she quickly sat up. The dream she had been having suddenly expanded into her reality and she remembered what had happened the previous night. She and Jason had gotten together; four times if her memory served her correctly.

"Morning." Jason smiled at her.

"Morning." Casey replied, sleep still evident in her raspy voice.

"Sleep well?"

Casey nodded, "better than I have in a long time."

"It's you ya know." Jason said, pulling Casey even closer.

"It's me? What's me?" Casey questioned, confused as to what Jason was talking about.

"That I think about while I'm on the witness stand. You make me feel calm, like I can face anything."

Casey grinned, "I'm better than the Yankees?"

"Much, much better, especially now that I can do this." He leaned forward and kissed her. "Now I can think about memories instead of just fantasies." Jason ran his hands under the Yankee's t-shirt and squeezed her bare bottom.

Casey laughed and pulled him on top of her, stealing his lips again.

Two hours later the couple was showered and Jason was dressed. Casey had no clean clothes and was not about to wear the few clothes of Beaumont's that were left in the closet.

"I'll just wear my dirty clothes home. I'm glad we don't have to go into work till later." Casey began putting her jeans on but decided to wear Jason's Yankee's tee instead of her orange juice covered one.

"Or you could just wear my shirt in and we could have some more time here." Jason walked up behind Casey and put his arms around her, kissing her neck.

"Yeah, because no one would wonder why I'm wearing your clothes. I don't think so. Let's go by my place so I can change then grab lunch at Apollo, I'm starving."

After Casey once again turned down Jason's advances at her apartment, the couple went to Apollo for lunch. This was something they normally did but for some reason both were feeling anxious at the prospect of being around their co-workers now that they were together.

They were seated right away with no signs of co-workers in sight. They ate in an amicable silence, only chatting from time to time about a case or something that Banks had done to prevent from being killed before he turned 43.

Everything was fine until the check came and they both reached for it at the same time. Jason got to it first and Casey looked at him dismayed. "But it's my turn to pay."

Jason smirked, "you're cute when you make that face. But, I'm gonna pay today."

"But it's my turn to pay. Give me the check Walsh." Casey reached for the paper in his hand.

"Sorry, no can do. I'm the guy and I'm not going to make you pay for our first meal together as a couple." He held the white and green ticket out of her reach.

"Nope, we are about to go into work. We are at Apollo this isn't a date. This is partners having lunch together, therefore It's my turn to pay and I'm going to. You however, can pay when we go out to dinner tomorrow night." She smiled sweetly at him and finally managed to grab the ticket.

"Alright, fair enough."

"Plus, I've seen your bank account." She made a frightened face, "no way you can afford to pay all the time."

"Haha…very funny Shraeger." Casey just shrugged. "I do okay. I don't have a trust fund or anything but I try to save some money here and there. I do own my own business."

Casey grinned, "Right, a business that serves M&M and bacon pancakes for dinner. It's okay though. That's one of the things I love the most about you."

"That I'm poor?"

"No, that you are real. You have worked hard for everything you have. Nothing was just handed to you. I respect that."

"Thanks." Jason grinned and leaned across the table to give her a simple peck on the lips.

Casey grabbed a couple bills out of her pocket and grin at Jason, "we better get going. Don't want to be late for work."

Jason nodded and walked towards the door with Casey by his side, both of them to busy to notice the group of people in the corner that were watching the entire scene play out.

Who do you think was watching them? Please review...makes me wanna update quicker! Thanks again!
