the midmorning sun shining through the soft linen curtains of cass's room woke her up. as she regained consciousness, she realized that she was tangled with a warm body under her. she laid her head on the chest of ...alex? she barely remembered. cass sighed, hearing the beat of his heart as the small headache in her temple pulsed along with it.

cass liked waking up to someone in her bed. although it didn't happen often, sadly sometimes not even at all, having that heartbeat, that warmth, that touch next to her was something that she craved constantly, and something that she found comfort in. touch, sexual or non-sexual, simple or full of intention, made her feel like herself.

she kept her head on his chest, not caring if he woke up and pushed her off for the sole purpose of not getting attached to a one night stand, and tried to piece together the events of last night. as she remembered, not even she could believe how jealous she'd gotten over pedro and the girl he was with, or the fact that she asked one of her best friends what guy she should sleep with. cass twisted her mind into a frown, weaving everything back together, and a waking sigh from alex took her attention.

cass felt his arm lift from over her, reaching over to gently tuck back a strand of hair that was covering her face. she looked up, displaying a soft smile. "bonjour" morning after niceties she said to herself, it's nothing.

"bonjour, tout bien?"

"oui, tout bien." she replied, her stomach growing cold as she came into realization of their nakedness. she sat up, looking around the sheets for any sort of indication of protection being used the previous night.

"don't worry." he mumbled, still laying down. "i used a condom, i promise."

cass huffed, laying back down next to him. he got up and out of the bed, starting to collect his clothes and putting them on. cass sat up again, checking the clock on the bedside table beside her. 10:15 am.

"veux-tu dejeuner avant que tu partes?" she asks him, starting to get up as well and getting a clean dress to put on.

alex shrugs, nodding. "d'accord, merci."

they headed downstairs, a bit of comfortable small talk between them, and as they got to the bottom of the stairs, they heard girlish giggles and kissing sounds. they looked at each other, amused confusion painting their faces and they kept on going in curiosity. cass inferred it was pedro with the girl, and as they peered out of the front doorway, it proved her right. there were pedro and the girl, and she was giggling as he kissed her jaw, smiling and laughing as well. alex snorted, and cass hit him in the arm playfully as she chuckled at the childish pair. the girl noticed, and stopped giggling, standing up straighter and covering her mouth. pedro stood up too, looking back into the house and noticing cass and alex on the stairs.

cass pulled alex away as she realized they were spotted, both of them laughing. he sat down on the kitchen table, and she started looking through the fridge to see what she would make. she decided on putting on some toast and making some over-easy eggs. as the eggs sizzled on the pan, alex asked. "isn't your father here?"

"no, he went to a friend's house for the night." she replied, waiting for the covered egg, and turning to him, leaning back on the counter. "he doesn't like seeing me after parties, you know. all the drinking. and if he does, he's also coming back from drinking and is drunk himself." cass says, chuckling to herself. "ignorance is bliss..."
