Picture Perfect
Chapter 27
By Crystal

Nick slowly opened his eyes and looked around him. His limbs were tied up with Casey's limbs and they were both naked. He looked up at the clock and saw that it was four in the evening. He looked back down at Casey and tried to wake her up.

"Casey," he called. She just lay there. "Come on Casey get up!" he said a little louder but she still didn't wake up. He picked her up and carried her upstairs to the bathroom. He stepped into the shower, set her down on her feet and turned on the water.

"Oh my god!" she yelped when the water came rushing down on her body. She looked up at Nick and froze.

"What the hell are you doing to me?" she freaked.

"Come on Casey my parents are going to be home any minute. We slept the entire day."

"How did that hap… oh, oh fuck."

"Yeah.. Now come on, we need to get sobered up before they get here or else we're going to have shit to pay."

"You mean you're actually helping me escape yet another screaming session from mommy and daddy dearest?"

"They would disown me if they knew that I had any part in what's been going on."

Casey smiled at him slyly. "So, Wonder Boy does have a bad side."

He looked at her and smiled. "Just don't let it leak out."

"You're such a fucking hypocrite Nick."

Nick stood under the spray of the shower and looked at her. "How exactly am I a hypocrite?"

"You chewed my head off when I got my tattoos and piercings, disapproved of sneaking out late and for messing around with AJ. But then the last two nights you've gotten drunk off your ass and had sex with two different girls. Not so angelic, are we Blondie?"

"People do strange things when they're drunk and you do strange things when you're sober. There is a difference."

"Fuck you Nick," she chided, annoyed.

Nick licked his lips and smiled. "Too late. And I believed you enjoyed it."

"The pleasure was all yours," she retaliated. Nick put his hands on her hips and pulled her up against him. He ran his hands up and down her wet back. "Really? Then who was that screaming my name as she…"

"All right all right!" she interrupted.

"What's the matter Casey? Can't stand the fact that you screwed me?"

"No. I can't stand the fact that I remember."

"Just forget it happened. Like I said, I'm just going to go back to hating you again."

"Why the hell do you have any reason to hate me?!" she screamed at him. Just then there was a knock on the door. "Casey? Are you in there?" came Jane's voice.

"Yeah, I'm in the shower!" she yelled back. Her eyes went wide and looked at Nick. He put his finger over his mouth.

"We're home. Do you know where Nick is?" she asked.

Casey looked at Nick and bit her bottom lip. "He's around here somewhere Jane. I just saw him a little while ago."

"Okay well I'm sure he'll pop up somewhere. By the way, do you know what that brown stain is in front of Nick's door?"

Nick looked at Casey, bewildered. Casey thought, then remembered the night they left for Orlando. "Yeah, I accidentally spilled some Coke and I didn't know how to clean it up."

"Okay, I'll get someone out here. Thanks sweetie."

"Uh huh!"

Nick looked at Casey expectantly. "A brown stain in front of my door?" he asked. Casey laughed and nodded her head.

"That first night I was downstairs drinking soda and then I heard strange noises so I went up and heard them coming from you room. Then all of a sudden I hear, 'God Nick I'm gonna cum!'" she laughed. "I dropped my soda because I was so shocked."

"You were listening to me having sex with Vanessa?" he asked.

"Only for a minute. Sounded like you were enjoying it."

"Yeah. Vanessa is good in the sack."

Casey's face straightened. "What the hell am I? Chopped fucking liver?"

"I didn't say that."

"Well excuse me!" Casey went to open the shower door but Nick grabbed her arm before she could. He pulled her back to him and kissed her. Casey pulled away and slapped his face hard. Then she pulled his face towards her and kissed him passionately.

"Jesus Nick. You have to stop being so fucking sexy," she moaned.

"I'm not. You're just sexually deprived of anyone good, last night excluded."

"Excuse me but I have had plenty good sex in my time."

"The next time you have sex you'll be thinking about me."

"What the hell gives you the right to be so fucking cocky?" she yelled.

"One thing. You screwed me five times last night so obviously something was better than you've had it before. Plus, I happen to remember a certain drunken individual screaming out the word stallion more than once"

"This can never go on again Nick. If anyone were to find out…"

"I know. I'll keep my mouth shut."

"Good." Casey turned off the water and grabbed some towels from the towel hanger. She handed one to Nick and put the other around her body. They both stepped out of the shower and Casey went to open the door. Nick put his hand on the door to stop her. He leaned in and kissed her softly. He pulled away and she smiled at him. "See ya later… Stallion."
