Cassie wakes up on Volkov's chest, but he's already awake.
"Hey! Why'd you sleep with me? I told you not to!" Cassie complains, not wanting him to get sick on his birthday.
He holds his hand over his heart in a dramatic way, "Oh how you wound me, baby."
Cassie giggles, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you, I was assuming you forgot."
"Of course not."
"Can I get you anything? You still sound awful and you're incredibly hot."
Cassie sighs and rolls off of him, "I don't want you serving me on your birthday. If I need anything I'll get it myself or I'll ask Magnus. Shouldn't you go out? Spend the day doing something fun?"

"Wanna get rid of me or something?"
"No! No I just-"
"I know, I was just kidding. What if I want to spend today with you though?"
"But I don't want you to get sick..."
"I'll be fine," Volkov pulls Cassie close again, "Does it ever bother you?"
"What?" Cassie looks up at him.

"Being in a relationship with two men pretty much 8 years older than you."
Cassie shrugs, "I don't mind, I can't help who I fall in love with."
"You love me?" Volkov asks sitting up and looking at her.

Shit, does he not love me? Should I have kept my mouth shut? What if he gets mad? What if I make it worse? Cassie thinks, sitting up to face him.

"Um, well... um..." She stutters.
Volkov interrupts her by kissing her. He lays her down gently without breaking. He trails kisses down her neck and then back up. He kisses her jaw before going back to her lips. He pulls away and looks at her lovingly.
"I love you, Cassandra."

She blushes, "I love you Volkov."
Volkov stays in bed with her for about another hour before getting up to shower. Cassie finds the strength to get up and get changed. She meets Magnus down in the kitchen.
"Good morning kitten, how'd you sleep?" He asks kissing her.

"Mmm really well. You?" She responds keeping her distance.
"Meh, could have been better."
"How?"
"If I was sleeping with you."
Cassie giggles, "I don't want to get you guys sick. I'm already a little mad Volkov decided to risk it..."

Magnus smiles, "Did you enjoy your morning?"
"Yes, why didn't you come in to get us?"
"I didn't want to interrupt his birthday morning."
"Do you have a plan for today?"
"I do, we're going to throw a small party here."
"But I'm sick!"
"Just a few people, his friends."
"Okay..."

Magnus smiles to reassure her. Volkov walks in, hair wet but no shirt. Cassie's cheeks heat up and the guys grin.
"You really did a number on her, Volkov," Magnus chuckles as Cassie blatantly stares at his muscular torso.
Volkov grins, "I see that."

Cassie swallows and quickly looks away, "Um water please..." She says even more red now.
Magnus hands her a glass and feels her forehead again. Volkov sneezes.
"Oh no, you too?" Magnus grumbles with a smile, "Did you really kiss him on his birthday?" Magnus says now turning to Cassie.

"Mmm, actually he kissed me," She points to him then holds her hands up in surrender.
"You expect me to believe that he willingly kissed you, even though you were sick and he could get sick, on his own birthday?"
"Umm yes," She giggles and the guys smile.
"Uh-huh."

Do I look childish to them? I must look so pathetic... I want to act more my age but there's just something about being around them that brings out this teenage girl in me. More the pre-teen girl that's crushing on them... What if they want someone more mature? What if they're just putting up with me because I have no one left... Okay, I'll start acting 19. She gets lost in though, not hearing to the conversation anymore.

"Cassandra?" Volkov's voice snaps her back to reality.
"Hm?" She hums in response.
"I asked if you were feeling okay. Do you want to go lay down again?"
"No, no, I'm fine. Are you okay? Do you feel sick?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Okay good."
