Picture Perfect
Chapter 24
By Katie

Casey woke up slowly and looked around. She was in the kitchen, although she was surprised she knew that considering the amount of liquor bottles that were strewn all around the room.

She tried to roll over but groaned as a pain her legs started to form from falling asleep with them wrapped around Nick. She also couldn't get up because Nick's arms were wrapped tightly around her.

"Nick. Get up." She whispered but he didn't move. She slapped his face, he stirred a little but still didn't open his eyes. "Carter I swear to God, if you don't wake up..." She said to herself but then quickly got an idea.

"NIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCKKKKKYYYYPPPOOOOO!" She yelled and Nick woke up startled.

"Dammit Casey. My head fucken hurts." Casey rolled her eyes at him.

"And mine doesn't?" She looked around

"Where's AJ? He was here last night wasn't he?" She slowly crawled off of Nick and jumped off the counter. Nick watched her as she pranced around the kitchen in only her black lace bra and small black thong.

"Ah ha!" She yelled but then stopped after the headache she gave herself. She picked up the note on the fridge.

"Casey and Nick~

I had to leave...promised Brian that I'd go to a movie with him today. I didn't wake you because you two looked so cute in your underwear, sleeping together. I had fun last night..lets try to get together tonight. I'll call you later Casey.

-Aj"

"Sleeping in our underwear?" She asked herself but then looked up at Nick, who was clad in only his boxers. He was still staring at her. Casey looked down and saw what she was wearing and her face colored.

"Nick!! Are you staring at me?!" She yelled. Nick grimaced and looked up from staring at her body.

"Please don't yell Casey. My head hurts."

"You still didn't answer me. Were you staring at me?" It was now Nick who blushed.

"Pervert." Casey mumbled and walked out of the room to go wash her sticky body, which was covered in salt, tequila, and lime juice.

Later in the day, Casey walked down the stairs to go pick up the kitchen. When she got there she sucked in her breath. "How the hell did we drink that much alcohol last night?" She grumbled to herself and began to pick up the bottles and stuff them in the trash bag she was carrying.

"Want some help?" Casey looked up to see Nick standing in the doorway.

"No, I'm doing perfectly fine without you."

"I helped make the mess, just let me help." Casey shrugged and handed him a bag. They worked in silence until Nick spoke up.

"Casey...about last night..."

"What about it? It was fun."

"Yeah, the game was but about me and Vanessa..."

"Nick, you don't have to explain anything."

"But I want to."

"Why? I understand, you needed a fuck so you had Vanessa come over."

"No, it's not that at all!" Nick sorta yelled and Casey looked up at him.

"Why are you getting so defensive Nick?"

"I'm not. I'm just saying that that wasn't what happened last night."

"Nick, I don't care. You don't have to explain anything to me."

"Well, you and Aj fucked eachother last night right?"

"No."

"You didn't? I thought for sure...."

"Well, stop thinking cause we DIDN'T!"

"Now who's getting defensive?" Nick teased and Casey just scowled at him.

"Nick? Can we just clean up this mess?"

"Fine."

They continued picking up the bottles, once again, in silence. Casey quietly humming to herself and Nick just picking up the bottles without doing anything.
