It was lunchtime when Aaliyah arrived at the apartment in the city. As she swung open the door the familiarity hit her. She went into the bedroom and put her suitcase on the floor in front of the bed. Aaliyah looked around the room; she noticed Aden had made some changes. He had changed the furniture; well she didn't give him much choice. Aaliyah took her furniture when she moved out. She traced the top of the headboard on the bed with her fingertips as she remembered all the good times her and Aden had, had in this room.

Aaliyah's thoughts were disturbed by a knock at the door. As she opened it her face lit up, standing in front of her was Casey. Aaliyah threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately, Casey put his arms around her and lifted her off the floor a little "I'm so glad you could come" Aaliyah exclaimed, as Casey gently returned her feet to the floor.

"This place is awesome" Casey grinned as he looked around the apartment.

"Yeh it is pretty special" Aaliyah smiled as she followed him into the bedroom. Aaliyah seductively put her arms around Casey. "Do you know what else is awesome?" she grinned cheekily.

"What's that?" Casey replied as he pulled Aaliyah closer to him.

"We can do what we want with no interruptions" She smiled as she started to pull at Casey's belt. Casey kissed Aaliyah passionately and reached round to undo the Black summer dress she was wearing. As the dress slipped to the floor Casey picked Aaliyah up so she now had her legs wrapped around his waist. He walked over to the bed and laid her down gently. Aaliyah continued to kiss him passionately, as he moved her hands above her head and locked them in place with his own. Aaliyah was close to screaming as Casey finally came inside her.

After a few hours Aaliyah eventually came out of the bedroom and headed into the kitchen, she was wearing the t-shirt Casey had on previously. As she looked in the cupboards it was then she realised they didn't have anything to eat. "Hey Case, get dressed we're going out" she yelled into he bedroom. Casey suddenly came up behind her and put his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind "Can't we just stay here" Casey said as he kissed her neck gently causing Aaliyah to giggle.

"As much as I'd love to say yes, we have nothing to eat" Aaliyah replied as she turned to face Casey.

"Who needs food?" Casey said as he stared to kiss her neck from the front this time.

"Your bub for a start" Aaliyah protested.

"Fine" Casey sulked as he walked into the bedroom. Aaliyah chuckled as she followed him.

It didn't take long for Casey to get ready. He got changed into a pair of dark jeans and a light blue short sleeved shirt. He sat on the sofa and waited for Aaliyah to get ready. And boy it was worth the wait. Aaliyah looked hot; she was wearing a yellow short flowing dress that fell just below her bum, with a black belt just under the bust line. She was also wearing black sling back stilettos and a black clutch bag. Her hair was in a messy bun with her fringe sweeping across her face. "Wow, you look hot" Casey gasped as she approached him. Aaliyah smiled "Why thank you Mr Braxton" Aaliyah grinned as she kissed him.

"Hey come on do you really wanna go back in there again!" Casey smiled cheekily as he pointed towards the bedroom. Aaliyah hit his arm playfully before grabbing her keys. They headed out the.

It seemed strange not having to hide their feelings from everyone. Casey and Aaliyah walked boldly down the high street hand in hand. They picked out a nice looking little restaurant to have dinner in.

Aaliyah had gone to the toilet for the 100th time (slight exaggeration) leaving Casey sat by himself.

Summer couldn't believe her luck when she saw Casey sat at the table in the restaurant, this had to be fate she thought to herself as she got up to walk over to him. Summer was staying with her dad for a few days.

Summer adjusted her dress and had a quick look at her make up in her little compact mirror before walking towards. Before she got near him she stopped dead as she saw a blond walking towards him smiling. Summer watched in shock as she saw the blond woman lean over the table and kiss Casey. She was even more stunned when she realised the blond woman was Miss Henderson, her's and Casey's English teacher.

Summer quickly took a few steps back and hid behind a white pillar, she watched as the pair chatted and held hands and kissed a bit more. Casey and Aaliyah finally got up to leave, Summer followed them. The couple were completely oblivious to the fact they were being stalked. In fact it was almost like no-one else in the world existed. Casey had his arm around Aaliyah as they walked back up the high street and towards the apartment. Summer couldn't believe what she was witnessing, and neither would her friends back in the Bay so Summer quickly took her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of the couple.

"I'm stuffed" Casey said as he slumped on the sofa, Aaliyah fell into him, Casey put his arm around her and she snuggled up to him. "I wish we could be like this back at home" Casey moaned as he traced her arm with his fingers. "I know babe, not long now only a few more months and you will have finished the HSC" Aaliyah smiled as she put her hand on his chest. They sat up until late watching a film and talking, before finally going to bed.

The next morning came quickly. Aaliyah woke early to be sick. Casey woke instantly when he heard her "You ok baby?" he asked as he came into the bathroom. "MMM" Aaliyah managed before being sick again. Casey instinctively held her hair away from her face. After Aaliyah was confident she wasn't going to be sick anymore she finally managed to walk in to the kitchen. "I'm sorry you had to see that" Aaliyah apologized as she sat at the kitchen table. Casey sat beside her "Hey how can I complain it's partly my fault?" Casey smiled before pulling her into a hug. Aaliyah smiled at him before kissing him gently. "I'm so glad you brushed you're teeth before you did that" Casey teased.

"Hey" Aaliyah exclaimed before hitting him playfully on the chest.

Casey laughed as he pulled her towards him again "So what do you want to do today?"

Before Aaliyah had chance to answer they were disturbed by Casey's phone vibrating. "It's Brax" he said as he answered it.

"Hey, what's up?" Casey said as he held his phone to his ear, he listened for a few moments as Brax spoke, then got up and headed into the lounge. Aaliyah watched curiously as Casey's expression changed. "I'll tell her" he said grimly before hanging up the phone. He walked back over to Aaliyah and knelt down in front of her.

"We need to go back" Casey started; Aaliyah frowned as she waited for him to finish his sentence.

"Something's happened…it's Riley" Casey explained bluntly.
