A/N: So, it's time to meet Alex's sister and Casey's brother :) Let's see what happens.


Casey walked into Alex's office. "So, I called Chris and he's coming over this Friday evening."

"Nice, Taylor's coming too. I invited her over to my place. If your brother wants to, he can stay too, but I have just one guest room, so.."

"I'll ask if he's willing to sleep on the couch." Casey smiled. "I think he is. When we're little, he slept on the couch like a million times."

"I can't wait till Friday." Alex smiled while she gave Casey a quick peck on the cheek.

"Me neither. It will be fun, I'm sure."


And Friday came soon. Alex and Casey were waiting on the airport to pick up Taylor and Chris. They would arrive on almost the same time, so they didn't have to wait that long. The first to arrive was Alex's sister Taylor. They saw her approach. Casey could tell it was Alex's sister, because she was like the younger version of her.

"Hey, I'm Casey." she extended her hand. Taylor shook it cheerfully.

"Hi, nice to meet you." she smiled. At first sight, she looked like Alex, but Taylor's nose was different and she had green eyes instead of blue ones like Alex. Also, her whole attitude was different from Alex's. Casey could tell she would like Taylor a lot.

"How was your flight?" Casey asked, interested in the other blonde.

"Oh, it was great, but.." she didn't finish her sentence, because her eyes strayed off and got track of something, or better said, someone who was approaching. Casey looked too and saw her brother.

"Chris!" she ran across the hall and hugged her brother.

"Casey!" he lifted her up and circled her around. "Oh, I missed you so much. It must have been like a lifetime we didn't see each other."

"Yeah, we live too far away from each other."

"Seriously, Case.. you need to come over a lot more. Our mom and dad miss you too. And you understand I have to report everything about Alex. I'm sure they're excited to know about her." he smiled. "So, now I want to meet her."

Alex and Taylor came over to their spot.

"Hey, I'm Alex." Alex said while she extended her hand. Chris shook it, but pulled her into a hug. Casey could see Alex didn't see that coming, but that she didn't mind, although she was not the hugging type.

"I'm Chris. We spoke on the phone. That was great." he smiled friendly. "In my opinion, my sister couldn't do better."

"I'm honored to be her girlfriend." Alex said while she grabbed Casey's hand.

Chris extended his hand to Taylor. "Chris." he smiled.

"Taylor.." she said, while she flushed. Casey could tell Taylor liked Chris. Chris was a handsome guy. He wasn't a redhead, but had dark hair. He had the same eyes as Casey.

"You're from Seattle, right? Washington? Then we don't live that far apart. I'm from San Francisco, California." Chris said to Taylor.

"Yeah, that's only like 800 miles." she giggled. Chris started to laugh too.

"Compared to where these two live, it's just a walk to the 7-eleven on the corner. It's like what? 3000 miles?"

"Yeah, I guess. I think they don't like us enough to live closer to us." Taylor grinned.

"Hey!" Casey and Alex said in unison.

"Oh, they are offended." Chris teased.

"Yeah, I'm very well offended." Alex said.

"Chris, are you sleeping at a hotel or do you stay at Alex's?" Casey asked.

"I'll sleep on the couch. Depends on the quality do. I may make up my mind about it." he grinned. "Maybe I want some break from all the women I'm staying with."

"Always nagging about the quality of couches. You don't care about them. You can sleep on a pile of rubbish if you want." Casey teased.

"Hey! That's not true!" Chris exclaimed. "Rubbish doesn't smell well."

"Let's walk to the car." Taylor suggested. "I'm tired of the flight and I'm hungry like a wolf."

"Are you gonna eat a moose?" Chris teased.

"Yeah, of course. Don't you do that every day?" Taylor grinned.

"Nah, sometimes. But I never now what to do with the antlers. I got a whole bunch of them in my backyard, but they're just laying there.." Chris grinned.

Casey and Alex walked behind Chris and Taylor, watching the two get along very much.

"They're kind of cute, don't you think?" Casey asked.

"Yeah. They're flirting. Taylor is single. Chris?"

"Also single. This could be interesting." Casey told Alex.


After dinner they were playing cards. It was a game, made up by Chris and Casey's grandparents, called ten-to-one. You first deal ten cards each. First you have to guess how many tricks you're going to get, but you have to take the trump into account. Then you're gonna play clockwise each person have to lay down a card from the same suit. If not, then you can trump or throw away cards. When you guess the number of tricks right, you get ten points in addition to the number of tricks you took. Otherwise you just get the number of tricks as score. First deal ten cards, then nine, then eight, and so on, till you're at one. Then you go other way round. So the idea is simple, the realization isn't.

"Damnit, Chris. I thought you were family. Now I got my guess wrong again!" Casey exclaimed.

"I know you can't take to lose, sis." Chris grinned. "That makes it so fun."

"Case.. you have to think. You cannot lose. You have me." Alex smirked.

"Yeah, easy to say for you. You're first right now." Casey said.


They continued to play the game until far after midnight. Chris won once, Alex twice and even Taylor won once, but Casey lost every game.

"I think we should go to sleep." she suggested when she lost again.

"You're a bad loser, Case." Chris kissed her cheek. "But I love you anyway. Let's get my couch ready."

"I'll show you your room." Alex said to Taylor. They left the room to do that and Casey and Chris stayed in the living room.

"So, I got this blanket. There are more when you're cold, but I don't think you will." she said. "Do you like Alex?"

"Yeah. She's the right one for you. I figured that out on the phone." he smiled. "You finally found the one?"

"I don't know that yet! We're just a few months together now." Casey said.

"Well, our parents knew each other half a year when they got married, so.." he grinned.

"I don't care!" Casey felt hunted.

"So amazing how I can rise out of you so easily." Chris grinned.

"You're mean." but she hugged Chris while saying that. "I love you, though."

"So, tell me. How's the sex?"

"Pervert! That's always been a dream of yours, the girl-on-girl action."

"Yeah, girl-on-girl, but I don't want to know the details about you and Alex."

"You don't get to know anything." Casey grinned. "But let's say.. it's the best I've ever had. So.. pretty good?"

"Lucky bastard. If I have someone who's good, I don't like them and other way round. Mom and dad ask me when I'm going to commit to someone, but I just haven't found the right one yet."

"You'll find her one day. And if not, I'm sure you'll make a wonderful old spinster."

"Hey!" Chris exclaimed, but he grinned.


A few hours later Casey woke up. She had to go to the bathroom. She got up and walked to the bathroom. When she was ready she decided to go get something to drink in the kitchen. While she walked through the living room, she noticed Chris wasn't on the couch anymore..
