The Notes We Write

10.

Casey and I woke up still tangled up with each other. Although I was still wearing my bra, I had never slept so good.

"Good morning" Casey said with a groggy morning voice. I smiled up at him not moving out of his grip. "Good morning, slept well?" "Hmm" he hummed. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, still feeling a bit sleepy. I already thought he looked adorable in the morning, and this only increased it.

As Casey took a quick shower, I changed out of last nights clothes. They felt tight to my body and looking at them made me feel mixed feelings. It reminded me of what happened with Ashton. But it also reminded me of Casey, and specifically his arms around me.

"Hey honey, slept well?" Mum asked me when I came down. "Where's Casey?" "Oh, he's just having a shower"

"I made breakfast for you guys, nodding her head to the eggs and bacon on the counter." I smiled, "thanks mum"

She grabbed her phone from the counter and put it in my face. "You looked so cute, I just couldn't help myself" She showed me a picture of Casey and I last night. Both sound asleep, I'm laying on his chest and he's got his arms around me. "Mum!" I exclaimed. "What?" She said laughing, "Do you want me to send it to you?" I wanted to object, but then I realised that I kinda wanted her to. "Yes please" I said defeated. She shook her head still laughing.

"Thank you for the breakfast mrs Meyer" Casey said when he came down after his shower. "How many times have I told you to just call me Liz?" Mum said chuckling. "But you're very welcome."

"Tonight is the performance night remember?" I did not remember. I got so caught up in the drama of yesterday, I forgot about the performance night. "Ms Summers always hosts it in her brother bar. Only mocktails of course. Everyone who takes music just bring a couple of their friends, and it's always really cozy and fun. I already invited the rest."

I had to face Ashton today. I don't want yesterday to influence the group. I just want us to all get along. I hope he can forgive me.

"Want to go to mine for the day? We have to be at the bar at seven so we have some time left." "Sure" I told him grabbing my bag.

"I'm at Casey's for the day, we have something for music class tonight. I love you" I told my mum, hugging her.

Nova came running to us. "Hug Casey?" She said stretching out her arms to him. Nova had really taken a liking to Casey. I found it so sweet that Casey actually took his time to play with her. He lifted her off the ground and hugged her tightly. He put her down and she walked away again.

"Hey what about me?" I said with a pout. "No, you're leaving us" she said sassily. Casey looked at me chuckling, "She's getting sassy, eh?" "Bye Nibbit, I love you too" I shouted to her, before I walked out of the door.

"Hailey!" Casey's mum, Ally exclaimed when we arrived at his house. She pulled me in to a hug. Ally was so nice, she always told me all kinds of things when I was here. She told me that she finds it nice to talk to a girl when her house is full of men.

"Your mum just sent me the picture of you." She was smiling so brightly, almost glimmering. "What picture?" Casey asked when we made our way to his room. "Don't ask, it's just our mums being stupid." He actually accepted that answer, I expected that I actually had to keep him from seeing it.

"Casey?" We were laying on his bed, with our feet up to the wall for some reason. I don't actually know how we ended up in this position, but I stopped questioning it a long time ago.

He turned his head to look at me, "hmm?" "What's your favourite flavour gummy bear?" He looked at me weirdly, "I don't know, why are you asking?" I sat up straight and grabbed my bag from the ground. "Because I brought some" Throwing the bag of candy on his face.
