“Look who decided to come out” Alex declares immediately he sees Cassie walking towards them“Perfect timing” Aaron exclaims, placing the pizza carefully in front of themCassie notices that the two boys had their shirts almost totally unbuttoned, Alex’s hair still in a mess and Aaron’s lips burning red, begging to be kissed again. A smile creeps on her face as she recalls images of what she had just witnessed. “What’s on that naughty mind of yours?” Aaron quizzes, as he catches her smiling“Me? Oh nothing” Cassie lies, shaking the thoughts off, not like it was working“I’ll let you believe that” Aaron tells her, as he walks over to the cupboards, emerging three wine glasses“I’ll go get the wine” Alex says quickly, before standing up, leaving Aaron and Cassie alone“So…” Aaron begins, getting Cassie’s full attention“Yes?” Cassie replies, taking a piece of mushroom that laid perfectly on the pizza“Thank you for taking all of this in nicely” Aaron begins“All of what?” Cas
Brother bear wasn’t exactly the best cartoon to see, considering how it always made Cassie cry, but Alex had insisted they saw it and went on and on about how it was a classic“Are you crying?” Alex teases Cassie as he hears her sniffShe had tried her best to hide it, but it was now overwhelming“No” she lies, turning away quickly“I can clearly hear you, you’re literally sobbing” Alex says with a chuckle“It’s a really sad episode to watch, you can’t blame me” Cassie finally gives in“I know, alright. Come here” Alex tells her, opening his armsCassie stares at him with his grin, before slowly getting up and walking towards him. She slowly enters his embrace and places her frame in between his arms, resting her head on his chest, and taking in all of his scent“Is this better?” Alex asks, gently stroking her hair“It is” Cassie replies, with a smile“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Aaron about how you wept over brother bear” Alex whispers, instantly making Cassie giggle“I didn
It had been a few days since Cassie and the boys got back to Mr. Adam’s residence from the club house; they had gone deep into work, it was almost impossible to see them for more than a few minutes, mostly when they were on their way out again. Cassie had tried starting a new book, but for some reason, the only thing she found herself thinking about was what Aaron had spoken to her about, moving in with them.“Daddy” Cassie calls out as she shuts her room door“Down here!” he responds, trying his best to keep his voice down as he hated anyone shouting on top of their voiceCassie finds her way downstairs, meeting her dad in the living room, where he sis focused on the television“Hey” she says, getting his attention as she walks towards him“Hey pumpkin, you heading out?” her dad asks, surveying her outfit“Yes, I am. Are you okay?” Cassie asks, noticing that he had a look of worry written all over his face“Yes, I am. Where are you heading to?” her dad quizzes, curiously“Bra
The dining table had been silent for a while now; Cassie had her eyes wide open, staring at both her dad and Alexander, while Alex and Aaron ate their dinner, their expressions indifferent about what their dad and Cassie’s dad had just told themCassie finally blinks and takes in a deep breath, she had not seen this coming, and she didn’t even know what to say. She had not spent any holiday away from her dad and even though that was the least of her worries, she decided to think about just that“You guys have to say something” Alexander finally breaks the silence“Something like what?” Aaron asks, not even looking up to face who he was replyingAaron and Alex had not said anything other than replies to questions all through dinner, they had not even given a glance to Cassie since dinner started and she wondered what she had done wrong. Something told her it was all Brandon’s fault for eating her face and kissing her like a psycho, but then again, that couldn’t be why they were giving
“We took it too far” Alex says to Aaron as they watch Cassie slowly climb up the stairs“I know Alex, I know” Aaron replies, rubbing his palms over his face“We should clean up here” Alex tells him, indicating the broken plates on the floor“Yea we should” Aaron replies as he bends down and joins Alex in picking the large pieces of the broken glassAfter a few more minutes of cleaning and clearing the mess, Aaron and Alex finally head upstairs to meet Cassie. The both walk silently towards her door, each of them preoccupied with thoughts of how to go about apologizing“Cassie, can we come in?” Aaron calls out, as he gently knocks on her door“Cass, we’re sorry” Alex adds after a few moments of silence“Cassie” Aaron calls again, knocking even more subtly this timeWith no forthcoming reply, they decide to head back to their room and call it a night; they would try again tomorrow for sure.*****************************************************Cassie lays on her bed, facing the ceiling,
As usual, Cassie had gotten up really early to get breakfast ready for her dad and Alexander. She spends the whole time thinking of what it would be like living with just Aaron and Alex as she made some scrambled eggs and readied their coffee. Aaron’s words keep ringing in her head? What did he mean by that anyway? She struggled with making sense of it logically “No breakfast for us?” Aaron’s demands jokingly, bringing Cassie out of her thoughts “What?” she asks startled “There are only two plates on the dining table love” Aaron replies smiling cheekily What was it with him and suits? Cassie asks herself as she mentally scans his outfit. How did he look like the perfect bad boy and a gentleman all at the same time? Why was his suit sitting perfectly on his body like that? Was he purposely teasing her? Because there was no way he was looking this good not to tease her? “I look way better with it don’t I?” Aaron adds, a mischievous grin across his face “Don’t you have work?” Cassie
“Hey” Cassie says into the phoneShe had been so nervous since she spoke to Aaron, so calling Brandon felt like the only thing that could help calm her down. She would’ve have preferred talking to the boys, but she knew they were probably working already“Hey stupid” Brandon replies from the other side of the phone, making Cassie giggle and roll her eyes“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” Cassie asks, already feeling her nerves calm down“Who said I wasn’t?” Brandon enquires“You’re on your bed aren’t you” Cassie asks again, this time giggling a little louder, knowing her best friend way too well“What gave me away?” Brandon quizzes. There was no lying to Cassie, and he had learnt that the hard way over the years“I will never tell” Cassie replies, sounding mysterious“Of course you won’t. Gotten to the office yet?” Brandon replies“Nope, still driving there”“Nervous?”“Of course, why do you think I called?”“Oh! I really thought its cause you missed me, but that’s alright, it’s no
Alex was right, he wasn’t wrong about anything, in fact, he underrated it. Cassie froze at the sight of Aaron shouting into his phone. He had not even noticed when they both walked into the office, he was going on and on about some arrangements for an opening. Cassie couldn’t quite understand or even hear half of everything he was saying, her eyes had glued her whole being to the sight of an angry Aaron, who in Alex’s words, was in his sexiest moment.“You’re drooling again little one” Alex whispers into her ears, chuckling at the end of that obvious statement just to tease her even more“No, I’m not. I’m just trying not to interfere” Cassie lies, wondering where that excuse even came from“Can it be called lying when you’re a great author?” Alex calmly asks, sipping his coffeeCassie wondered how her brain could do two things at the same time. She was certain she was still mentally hooked on Aaron who was still scolding the poor human on the other side of the phone, but at the same t
