A/N: So, I'm also writing another A/C story, so I don't know how much I'm gonna update both stories. Maybe by turns or something, maybe both each day. I don't know. The next week and a half I'm not able to do both each day, so I'm sorry if that bothers you. (I'm not even sure if I can update one each day XD). Well, I'm doing my best ^^ Enjoy this one!

Edit: I'm so sorry about that writing in first person. XD I wrote like a long time straight at my other story, which is in first person and I was really tired (I fell asleep writing it XD) I got it changed now. It's pretty weird. When I read it back, I couldn't even remember writing it ^^ Guess means this is something new for me too, lol. XD Weird, cause sometimes I used third person (that's the parts I remember) and the parts I use first person, I can't remember. XD Silly me. Well, enjoy.

Casey silently cursed herself when the alarm went off at eight in the morning. She rolled over to turn it off. She rolled back to wake up Alex with a kiss. She was a less light sleeper than Casey was. She slowly opened her eyes when she stretched her arms and wrapped them around Casey.

"Hey beautiful." she said.

"Hey, yourself, roomy." Casey teased.

"Well, soon-to-be-roomy." Alex corrected her. She looked a bit better at Casey. "You know. I don't want to be mean or something, and I think you're fabulous and all kinds of stuff, Case.. but you look terrible. You look like you haven't slept in days or something." she ran her finger across Casey's eyelids.

"Yeah, I didn't have much sleep last night. Jet-lag I guess. I think I fell asleep just a few hours ago. Too bad. But, I will survive." Casey shrugged and pulled Alex in for a kiss.

Alex started giggling like a teenage schoolgirl. "What are you laughing at?" Casey asked her.

"Oh, no, it's just that you sounded so much like the Pointer Sisters." She giggled. Casey started grinning.

"You're such a weirdo."

"I know. But I'm your weirdo." Alex placed a soft kiss on Casey's nose. Casey smiled. "You seem happy, Case."

"I am. I really am. I could look at you all day and be happy."

"You're so cheesy. I would never think that of you, Novak." Alex grinned.

"Clearly you don't know me too well then." Casey put her tongue out to Alex. Alex caught it between her lips and sucked on it.

"Awex. Swop." Casey murmured. Alex parted her lips and Casey kissed Alex. She took Alex's lip between her teeth and bit on it, but not too hard.

"Is this what they call revenge?" Alex asked, trying to get her lip back.

"I guess it is." Casey smiled, releasing her lip. "I don't want to go back to work." Casey whined.

"You have to. We were off for a week now." But Alex also pouted. She didn't seem to feel like working either.

An hour later, Casey was at work. She missed Alex, which was pretty concerning since they were each other's company for one full week and she was a few feet away from her. If she wanted, she could walk to Alex and talk, but she decided it was best to get out of the habit of being together that much. She stopped worrying about moving in together. In fact, they were planning on picking furniture of Casey's place and moving over the rest of her stuff. Maybe sell a bunch of stuff.

It was really nice to have a plan in life. Casey never thought she was the kind of woman who would commit herself to someone and decided to live together with that same woman. Living together seemed so huge. But it wasn't huge at all. Well, of course it was, but it didn't feel that huge anymore. It was just another step in their growing relationship. Casey trusted Alex and wanted to come home to her everyday. It was nice to have someone to talk to at night. Not to mention sleeping together.

Last week, she promised her brother Chris that she would call him more often, so when she needed a break from the cases she was working on, she decided to call him. She dialed his number and after a few rings someone answered.

"Hello?" It wasn't Chris, she could tell, because the voice was female. Although, the voice sounded very familiar, like she had heard it before. But she didn't know it so well, that she could guess who was at the other side of the line.

"It's Casey Novak, Chris's brother. I'm sorry, but you sound really familiar. Do I know you?" She asked, just wanting to know who she was talking to.

"Ehm. I can get him if you want?" She asked. She tried to put a finger on it. She clearly avoided my question, so she knew her.

"Yeah, that would be great." she decided to ask my brother himself.

"He's in the shower, though." Huh, why would he shower when he has company. Unless it's a sleepover or something. Maybe this was the girlfriend he was talking to when we were at Casey's parents' home.

"Are you his girlfriend?" Casey just asked. She wanted to know. Her inner prosecutor wanted the truth.

"Ehm. Yeah. Well, this is awkward. I will ask Chris if he calls you back, okay?" She was about to hang up, when Casey stopped her.

"Wait! Who are you? I want to know. He's clearly happy with you, if you're his girlfriend, so I would love to meet his girlfriend. And that would be you. But you sound really familiar." Casey just stated. She heard the other woman hesitated at the other side of the line.

"Well. You know me. That's why I sound familiar. But I don't know if Chris wants to tell me who I am. Maybe he wants to tell you himself."

"I can't imagine. He didn't want to say your name when we were at my parents' home, so.. I guess he's not gonna say." Casey pouted, although she couldn't see that. Suddenly she had an inkling. She knew where she had heard that voice. The overusing of the word 'well'. It's Alex's sister, Taylor. Casey knew it. She fell for him. "Taylor?"

"Yeah. I think you just guessed who I am." She sounded like she smiled.

"What are you doing in San Francisco when you live in Seattle? Isn't that too far?"

"Well, it's a few-hour flight and it's even doable by car. We visit each other as much as possible." Taylor sounded hesitantly, as if she didn't knew if she had to say something or just drop it.

"The golden question. How are you two doing?" Casey asked with a grin.

"Fine. I mean, he's great. I thought he was the kind of man whore I would never date, but he turned out to be sweet and kind and generous. I really like him." Casey heard her smiling when she said those things.

She heard her door opening and Alex entered her office. She gestured something about hanging up the phone, so Casey thought it would be best if she ended the conversation.

"I talk to you later. We have to catch up some time. By the way, tell Chris he has to call me back when he's done. I have free time left." She told Taylor.

We both hung up the phone, and Casey looked with 'I've been bad'-eyes at Alex.

"Guess who are together?" Casey asked.

A/N: I'm sorry, I'm just too tired to write, right now, but I wanted to update this story. XD So, here it is. I've been planning on writing this 'coming-out' for weeks.
