I wasn't gonna add this until tomorrow, but i have just finished so i thought I would let you have it a bit early :-) enjoy x x x

Aaliyah had finally finished her first day back at work, after dropping Riley off at Heath's, she was now on her way to Angelo's to meet Bianca for tea and a 'proper chat'. Aaliyah wasn't exactly sure Bianca had meant by 'proper chat' but she was about to find out. Taking a deep breath she made her way over to the table her friend was sat at "Hello you" Bianca smiled as she watched Aaliyah sit down. Aaliyah couldn't help noticing how nice Bianca looked "Wow you look hot" she commented. "Why thank-you" Bianca giggled blushing a little "I'm meeting Liam later" she added as she had a sip of her wine. Aaliyah nodded "You know what?" Bianca sang maybe a little louder than she expected. "What" Aaliyah replied as she had a sip of her drink that Bianca had kindly ordered for her. "It dawned on me today, you didn't tell me how your date with Heath went" Aaliyah just stared before regaining her thoughts. "Yeah, it was OK?" Aaliyah really didn't want to think about her night with Heath. I had been a huge mistake. "Just OK?" Bianca pushed.

"We went for pizza, then went home, that's it" Aaliyah snapped a little.

"What so you didn't sleep with him?" Aaliyah flashed a look of disgust at Bianca, how could she just drop into the conversation, didn't she realize that night…that stupid night had nearly lost her Casey. "Oh my god you did didn't you" Bianca gasped. "No wonder Casey says he's been spending a lot of time at your house, poor kid I bet you have him baby sitting every chance you get" Bianca teased, little did she know she had just given Aaliyah and Casey the perfect cover story. Who would ask questions about them if they thought she was seeing Heath. Obviously she wasn't going to start seeing him, she couldn't do that to Casey but she wasn't about to correct Bianca's assumption. And if Bianca chose to tell people then that was fine. It wasn't like Aaliyah was lying to anyone.

After another hour of chatting Aaliyah said her good-bye's to Bianca, as she stood up to leave she accidentally knocked Bianca's bag on the floor, spilling the contents of it everywhere. "Oh my god, B, I'm so sorry" Aaliyah bent down to help Bianca pick up the things, as she looked up she noticed something under the chair. It was a white and blue stick. As Aaliyah reached for the stick she noticed the two blue lines. "Oh my god you're" Aaliyah gasped "Shh, we don't want anyone to know yet" Bianca replied smiling. Aaliyah couldn't believe it. She didn't even have time to stay and talk about it. She apologized and told Bianca she would make another date with her, before rushing off.

Aaliyah called into the Braxton's on the way home to collect Riley. After she had put him to bed and read him a story it was 7.30. Casey was sat at the table working on his assignment. Aaliyah leant over him and kissed him "Are you coming to bed?" she moaned resting her chin on his shoulder. "Ali, it's too early to go to sleep…look its only 7.30" Casey said showing her his watch. "Who said anything about sleep" Aaliyah whispered seductively in his ear. Casey smirked "Let me just finished this" he smiled. Aaliyah reached over and snatched the pen out of Casey hand while distracting him with a kiss. She ran towards the bedroom door. "Oh yeah, very mature Aaliyah" Casey grinned getting up and walking over to her "Give me it back" he asked reaching out his hand. "Make me" Aaliyah smiled cheekily putting the pen behind her back. Casey laughed and shook his head "You're going to regret that" he said as he bent down and put her over his shoulder carrying her into the bedroom. Aaliyah let out a squeal before shutting the bedroom door.

Neither Casey nor Aaliyah welcomed the alarm. "MMM" Aaliyah groaned before turning it off. She slowly climbed out of bed, as she walked towards the door Casey pulled her onto him "Don't leave me" he sulked kissing her face and neck. "Casey I have to get up" she smiled trying to get away. She finally managed to break free; she hopped in the shower and got dressed for work. Casey decided to go for a surf before school. They had agreed to meet at home for lunch.

Riley was up later than usual and Aaliyah for some reason was now running late. She was trying to rush Riley's breakfast down him before leaving for school. She quickly grabbed her bag and keys and Iphone before locking the door and practically dragging him to the car. "Mum I've left my PE kit" he stammered as he was rushing beside his mum. Aaliyah pointed her key at the car and unlocked it. "Get in" she demanded before foraging for her keys and rushing back to the house. She found Riley's PE kit just inside the door. She grabbed it, locked the door again and made her way back to the car. As she looked up she was horrified, stood leaning against her car was Dylan, he was talking to Riley. Aaliyah's heart pounded as she practically ran over to them. "Hey, mum this is Scott the man I told you about, he was in prison with dad" Riley muttered cheerfully. "Riley get in the car sweetie" she said as calmly as she could.

Heath was also running late for the school run. He locked the door and made his way over to his Ute. "Dad, who's that talking to Riley's mum" Darcy asked curiously. Heath looked over and saw Aaliyah talking to a guy dressed in dark jeans, trainers and a blue hoody. He couldn't help but notice the worry and frustration on Aaliyah's face. "Wait here" he told his daughter who did as she was told. Heath sauntered over to the pair and casually put his hands on her waist and kissed her gently. Aaliyah was stunned but went along with it. Dylan whose face was confident and cocky had now gone to being anxious. "I thought we were taking my car this morning" he smiled "Sorry babe I forgot" she replied. Heath pursed his lips looking at Dylan. Aaliyah told Riley to get out of the car. "Who's your friend" Heath nodded towards Dylan. "His name is Scott, he was in prison with my dad" Riley informed him. "Well it was nice to meet you Aaliyah, I will have to pop round again sometime" Dylan smirked. Heath pulled Aaliyah in close and rested his arm around her shoulders. He could feel her shaking. As Dylan left Aaliyah and Riley climbed in the Ute with Heath and Darcy. Heath put his hand on the worried mum's arm as he reversed off the drive onto the main road. "He can't hurt you now" he whispered softly, not wanting the children to hear. Aaliyah just nodded silently. She had not been aware that a certain Braxton Brother had witnessed the whole scene between Aaliyah and Heath. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and then he noticed Dylan getting into a black car. Maybe he was reading too much into it.

Aaliyah finally arrived at school she had managed to get there 10 minutes early. This had given her chance to check her phone. She had 2 messages. As she looked at them she noticed they were both from Casey. Message 1- Hey you, well I'm sat listening to Ruby and April bang on about the school prom, and all I can think about is you. C u at home x x this message made Aaliyah's heart skip a beat, she had butterflies. After the incident with Dylan she had almost forgotten about her lunch time date with Casey. She went on to read the next one- What the hell was all that about with Heath? This message soon sank Aaliyah's stomach; he must have seen us this morning. He knew it was Dylan surely he realised Heath was just acting. She frantically tapped at the keys- Case what you saw this morning is not what you think. Heath was just warning Dylan off. I promise I'll make it up to you at lunchtime. xxx As she hit the send button the bell rang for her first lesson, another double lesson with year 11. Wow she thought the lunchtime bell was never going to ring.

Aaliyah was that keen to get home to see Casey she had forgotten to lock the door. She didn't even get chance to say hello before he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Aaliyah finally emerged from the bedroom wearing Casey's school shirt. She went into the fridge to get some juice. Casey then emerged wearing just his jeans, he walked up to Aaliyah and kissed her lightly on her lips "I'm gonna need my shirt back" he said pointing at the shirt Aaliyah was wearing. "Oh what you mean this one" Aaliyah teased. Casey smiled and nodded "Yeah" Aaliyah shrugged before undoing the few buttons she had fastened and slipping the shirt off, dropping it to the floor, revealing her naked body. Casey took a deep breath "You just had to do that to me didn't you" he groaned. Aaliyah smiled biting her lip cheekily "yep". Aaliyah and Casey decided this time to take the heat into the shower. They both came out of the bathroom wearing towels. Suddenly there was a knock at the door "It's only me" a voice yelled. It was Marilyn. Aaliyah quickly pushed Casey back into the bathroom, before walking into the lounge to greet her. "Oh there you are, sorry is this a bad time?" Marilyn felt a little embarrassed she had obviously interrupted something. "No it's fine, I was just freshening up" Aaliyah replied "Oh well I won't keep you, I just wanted to drop this shampoo off, it's the one I told you about" Marilyn spoke quickly. "Shall I put it in the bathroom for you" she walked over to the bathroom and was about to open the door. "NO. No its fine, I like to keep my shampoos in the bedroom, otherwise Riley uses them to make soap mountains" Marilyn blushed. "Oh the joys of children, well I'd better let you get back to your shower" she quickly added before making a sharp exit. Aaliyah sighed as she watched Casey walk out of the bathroom "That was too close" she frowned. Casey nodded. "Yeah, I can't believe we nearly got busted over a bottle of shampoo" Aaliyah let out a laugh at Casey's comment. They had both agreed they didn't want another close call like that one and headed back to school, separately of course

Aaliyah had never been more grateful to hear the end of day bell. She just wanted to get home; she got in her car and went to collect Riley from school. As she walked towards the school she spotted Heath, she smiled as she wandered over to him "Hey" Aaliyah smiled. Heath grinned "Hiya". As all the kids came out Heath could see Darcy walking next to the teacher. Darcy spotted her Dad; she ran and gave him a hug. Heath was a little concerned as he noticed the teachers face dropped when she saw Aaliyah. "Miss Henderson" the teacher said shakily. Aaliyah sighed.

"Has he forgotten his PE kit again?"

"No, Riley's gone" the teacher replied nervously.

"He's what?" Aaliyah snapped. Heath stood closer to them. "Gone where?" Aaliyah's tone had changed completely.

"Riley's father came to collect him about an hour ago" the teacher explained. Aaliyah felt her legs collapse from under her, Heath caught her quickly, and her legs regained their strength as Heath's arms held her. "He can't have. Riley's Dads in jail" Aaliyah exclaimed. Heath could see the colour had drained from Aaliyah's face. "I'm sorry, he said he was Riley's father and you were ill and he had to collect him"

Aaliyah's strength has returned completely, she was now stood upright "What and you didn't think I'd call to let you know that, after what I told you the other day?" she spat angrily. The teacher just shook her head "I…"

"You stupid bitch, do you have any idea what you've done…I swear if anything happens to him I'll…" Aaliyah launched herself at the now scared teacher. Heath grabbed her quickly and restrained her. "Call the police" he yelled at one of the other teacher's.
