The next morning Cassidy woke up in her bed, not having any clue how she got there. She was in her underwear and the t shirt she had on yesterday. She groaned before sitting up completely.

"What the fuck man." She looked at her phone and pulled it off the charger to see that it was nearing 10 AM.  She also noticed she had a few text messages.

Austin☠️ (12:36AM):
I'm glad you had fun. I hope you don't hurt in the morning. Thanks for being a kick ass beer pong partner.

Austin☠️(9:48 am):
Good morning i hope youre not dying 😌

Cassidy didn't have the energy for human interaction yet. She dragged herself out of bed and made way for the shower. She saw Kelsey laying on her bed on her phone as she walked down the hall.

"Good morning sleeping beauty. How ya feelin?" She teased. "Dude you were toasted."

"Yeah I don't know what happened. I'm never like that. I feel like death though. I'm gonna take a shower." She didn't give Kelsey a chance to reply before walking into the bathroom.

The minute she was done, she felt so much better. She grabbed some Tylenol from the cabinet in the bathroom and tossed it back hoping it would help the mild headache she had going on.

Kelsey wasn't in her room when Cassidy walked back to hers, so she shut her door and got dressed. Once she was done she looked at her phone again and decided to respond to Austin.

Cassidyyy:
Good morning! I had a blast. Thank you. Sorry for being a drunken idiot. I'm not normally like that.

Her mind went back to the moment she is still convinced they almost kissed. Fuckkkk she groaned internally. Hopefully he wouldn't even acknowledge it.

Austin☠️:
Hey don't worry about it. You were fine. Just a little wobbly. 😜

Austin☠️:
So we're gonna go fuck around in the city if you would like to meet up and join. I want to go to the aquarium. Apparently it's a big deal?

This made Cassidy laugh. She forgets constantly that it is kind of a big deal. It's the National Aquarium. It just wasn't anything special to her, being that she grew up going to it all the time. She thought about her day and about how she didn't have anything going on. So she replied to Austin.

Cassidyyy:
I'd love to. Just tell me where and when. 🤓

She tossed her phone down to finish getting ready and to go find Kelsey.

Once she was good to go, she grabbed her docs and cellphone and walked down stairs. Kelsey was already dressed like she had plans as well.

"Where do you think you're going?" She spoke up from the living room.

"Austin invited me to go to the aquarium and stuff today. I guess they have an off day."

"Oooooo well guess what?" Kelsey grinned. "I was too, but by Eric."

"I knew you were droolin over him!" Cassidy teased as she put her boots on.

"Yeah, just like you were with Austin." She looked up from her phone. "Don't think I didn't see you guys talking and shit last night!" Cassidy just rolled her eyes. Her phone eventually went off, with a text from Austin telling her to meet at the aquarium at 11:30. They had a about a half hour and decided to walk and catch some scooters if they were lucky.

They stood out front of the aquarium and waited for any sign of Austin and his friends. Suddenly a white SUV pulls up and a large man in a black shirt and jeans steps out of the front and opened the back door. Austin steps out, along with Eric and another man she recognized from yesterday but didn't formally meet.

Cassidy and Kelsey walked in the direction of them and noticed the larger man in black was actually security. Alright then. Cassidy thought. Not really realizing he was this big of a deal. She now realized why he was wearing his sunglasses and the hat.

"Hey! Feeling any better?" Austin spoke up as he pulled Cassidy to a quick one armed hug.

"Yeah! Thanks." She replied sheepishly. "I much better. I had one of the 'I'm never drinking again' moments".

"I'm all too familiar." Austin smiled. "Let's get goin. You can show me around!"

"Oh so you just wanted me here as a tour guide." Cassidy quipped as she fell in step with him.

"Well that's just a perk."

The group walked to the booth and the man that Cassidy didn't recognize paid for everyone's tickets. Cassidy learned later on that this was Austin's manager Dre. She wasn't expecting it, but decided to let it go for now and made sure to thank Austin when she had a chance. They wandered the aquarium, looking at all the different exhibits.

As the day went on, Cassidy found that Austin was so easy to talk to and get along with. It was obvious that the fame didn't get to his head at all. Even when they had been stopped a few times for pictures, Austin made sure to let Cassidy finish the story she was telling.

They were near the end when it dawned on Cassidy that there was still some information she hadn't gotten from Austin. As they were looking at the shark exhibit, she spoke up.

"Ya know. You never gave me the introduction that I gave. I dont even know how old you are." She teased.

"Oh well excuse me. Austin Richard Post, nice to meet you." He held his hand out for Cassidy to shake. "I'll be 24 on the 4th of July. I have 2 brothers. One step and one half brother. They're great. This is my natural hair color."

"No way." Cassidy teased back.

"Yeah. I know I'm lucky. You don't have to remind me." Austin pretended to do a dramatic hair flip.  Cassidy noticed the rest of the group walking a head of the two of them who hadn't moved from their spot, standing in front of the tall glass.

"Hey, what are you doing later? Like tonight?" Cassidy turned her attention back to him.

"Oh uhm. Nothing, what's up?"

"Let me take you out. Just the two of us."

Cassidy smiled and answered confidently. "Okay."

"Okay. I can pick you up at 7. I have your address from Kels last night." Cassidy nodded and began to walk in the direction of the rest of the group trying to hide the huge smile plastered on her face.

A/n: I told y'all it was gonna be slow!
