Casey stayed quiet the rest of the night and every once and a while Justin would try to make conversation, but she’d just use one word answers or make them very brief. She could see his hands ball up in fists when that happened, and that scared her, but she didn’t really want him to know her entire life anymore. She wanted him to realize that she was a human too, and that he shouldn’t push her around. It was a privilege to have a significant other, and he was abusing his privilege.
“Casey, did you think about going public?”
“Not really, J.” She said in a snooty kind of voice, but she caught herself. “No, not really. Like its not like I’m going to want to do it tomorrow!”
“How about we make a statement on Friday?”
“Friday? Justin, that’s two days away! Are you insane? You have to clear stuff up with… oh my god. I can’t believe you just asked me that….”
“What?!” He asked angrily.
“No, no. Justin, I’m sorry.” She put her hand on his knee. “I’m just saying that you have to “end it” with Britney, and tell Johnny, tell jive… J, this is a huge thing. It’s not like you can just decided that we’re going public… you have to clear it up with other people too. This isn’t just up to me.” Casey explained. “Plus, I’m not sure if I even want to still-” She stopped herself. “I don’t know if I want to.”
“Night, Casey.” Justin said shortly, and rolled over to his side of the bed and faced the opposite way as Casey.
“Oh, ok. Night, J.”
***
The next morning, Casey woke up with Justin gone. Instead of going downstairs first, she hopped in the shower and then got dressed. She wore a light pink skirt that went just past her knees, and a white tee shirt. She did her hair, put on her make up, and brushed her teeth. Finally she went downstairs. She saw a blue post-it note stuck to the pantry, and took it off and read it.
Casey,
When you’ve decided about going public call me… I’ll talk to Johnny about it today.
Love,
J.
Casey picked up the cordless phone that sat on the counter by the post-it note and dialed his phone number. When she got his voice mail the first time, she tried again. This time he answered.
“Yeah?”
“J, it’s Casey, um… don’t talk to Johnny about it.” She said. “You can’t talk about it until I’ve decided. What if I don’t want to go public?”
“Fine, I won’t, but I have to go because Brit’s here.”
Casey sighed. Even though she knew that Britney was just a distraction, she couldn’t help but feel jealous. He was always with her. That wasn’t fair. “Bye.”
“Bye.”
Casey threw the post-it note away, and then went to the front door. She grabbed her purse, and keys and she was gone.
When she got to the coffee shop she saw Belle’s car. She saw Tonya’s car, and Ruby’s car too. They had a lot of people working today. She saw other cars, but she couldn’t remember whose they were.
“Ok, Ruby’s saying that Casey will totally reject the date…” Belle said as she wrote it down on a piece of paper. “For ten bucks.”
“And Ton, you’re saying that she’ll resist at first, but then cave because she always does that. She can’t say no.” Michael said, telling Belle. “And for how much?”
“I’ll say ten too.”
“How about you Mike?”
“I’ll say ten bucks for a right away yes.”
“All right, pleasure doing business with all of you.” Belle said and stood up. She professionally shook everyone’s hand, except for Michael who pulled her into a hug. “Mornin’ Case!”
“Hi everyone…” she said cautiously. “Why aren’t we behind the counter?”
“We’re just hangin’ out, chillin’ like normal, non-crazy coffee shop people, and non-betting people!” Ruby said.
“Ruby!” Tonya yelped.
“Sorry.”
“So anyways, Casey, I talked to JC last night.”
“Did you?” Casey said, picking up straws and spoons off of the table they were sitting at and then walked behind the counter.
“Yeah, I told him that I wanted to set the two of you up.”
“And…”
“And, well….” Belle said disappointedly, “He said that he’d love to, but….”
“Oh good!” Casey said normally, well actually quite happily, but deep down she was a little hurt.
“Oh no you don’t. The two of you Are going out, but he said that he couldn’t do it tonight because he has to go to the s-t-d-u-o… oops… I mean, Studio. I won’t try that spelling thing again.”
“Good.” Mike smiled.
“So what do you say? He said that you could pick a day… but he told me to mention to you that he gets out of the studio tomorrow by six so he could pick you up at seven… but if you don’t wanna do it tomorrow just let him know. I told him that he could pick you up tomorrow at seven at my house since it could be a little awkward for your ex-boyfriend to watch a new guy pick you up.”
Casey giggled uncomfortably. “Uh, yeah tomorrow’s fine.”
“Yes!” Mike shouted as a new customer walked in, letting the bell ring. “Uh, yeah. I get to go make some coffee.” He said confidently to Casey who gave him a weird look for getting excited. “Hi, what can I get you?”
“Really? Just a yes like that? You don’t wanna think about it? You don’t just wanna say no right away?” Belle asked.
“No, I’ll go.” She smiled.
“Damn it!” Ruby and Tonya said quietly.
“ What is going on?”
“Nothing.”
***
Justin walked quietly into the house at eleven that night. He saw Casey sleeping on the couch with the TV on, and the people on the TV were talking quietly. She had the volume down low. He was in a terrible mood. They hadn’t recorded all of the songs they had wanted to that night, and everyone was getting cranky and hard to work with. JC finally decided that he was going to go home and they’d do some songs tomorrow. Justin picked up the remote from her hand and shut the TV off. She woke up with a start, “Justin!”
“Yeah.” He stated, not asking a question, just announcing his presence.
“You’re home.” She said with a sweet smile, and she stood up from the couch. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. “Mmm…” she murmured between kisses, “I’ve missed you.” Justin pushed her away from him and she nearly fell backwards onto the couch. “Did I do something wrong?”
“No. I just don’t want to be touched right now.” He sat down next to her about a foot away. She grinned again and scooted closer to him. She continued to kiss him. She placed feather-like kisses along his jaw line up to his ear. She gently sucked on his earlobe, and waited for a response as she did so.
“J?” She asked him as she moved back down his jaw line to his lips.
“Case?”
“Nothing.” She whispered and kissed his neck. “J?”
“What?” He asked, less taken in by the moment.
“Why won’t you kiss me?”
“I told you, Casey.” He said. “I don’t really want to be touched right now.”
Casey seemed to be ignoring him. She he started to play with the hem of his shirt. “Then maybe you could touch me….” She said seductively and let her voice linger in the air around him. She kissed his neck and gently sucked a little bit. Then she made a trail of kisses back up to his lips where she brushed her tongue ever-so-lightly across his bottom lip.
“Casey? Did something happen to make you this way? What’s going on?”
“Fine!” She erupted in anger. “I just wanted to spend one night together with no fighting or anything! That’s all I wanted…. But I guess that’s not what you want. So Justin, don’t even bother coming upstairs tonight.” She flared in fury and stood up from the couch. She was just about to take her first step when Justin pulled her wrist causing her to fall back into him. He caught her in his arms and she was on a slight slant when she felt his lips come crashing down on to hers. She felt his tongue brush across her lips, sort of asking permission to enter, and she spread her lips lightly so his tongue could enter her mouth. Her tongue met his and they started dancing to the most passionate routine ever.
“Like that?”
“Mmmhmmm….” she murmured again. “Exactly like that.” She said, “Come on.” She took his hand and led him up the stairs. His hands re-explored her body that seemed so foreign to him. It was like he was discovering a whole new planet. He hadn’t touched her like this in a long time. His hands roamed her body, and every time he make contact with her skin, it made him feel more and more at home. He kissed the back of her neck and wrapped his arms around her waist as they made their way up the steps. He couldn’t keep his hands off of her. She was almost addicting. Every touch made him want her more than before. He could hardly stand it. When they reached the bedroom, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. He dropped her onto the bed and she was laughing; actually laughing. He laid down beside her and looked at her.
“Case?”
“What now J?” She answered impatiently. She had started to unbuckle her belt since she had changed into jeans when she got home from the coffee shop. She was vigorously trying to get her belt off and through the belt loops. Her shirt had gone up a little bit, exposing her navel. He had to fight the urge to just envelope her in his arms and have his way with her right then. She had her belt almost off when he put his hand on top of hers to get her to stop moving; she was distracting. He felt the heat of her skin under his fingertips. He wished he could’ve smiled at his control over her, but he had other things on his mind. Casey looked up into his crystal blue eyes and half smiled. She sat up just enough for their lips to make contact again. When he too got caught up in the moment he let her lay back down on the bed with her arms around her neck and his hands only half supporting him. His other hand was now up her shirt, teasing her. “Mmmm… Jus….”
“Oh, Case… Casey….” He said breathlessly as he pulled away from her. She propped herself up with her elbows and watched as he licked his lips. She was about to lean up again, but he stopped her.
“What?”
“I’m just not sure why you want to do this….”
“J, do you not want to?”
“Of course I want to! Who wouldn’t?” He said, eyeing her beautiful body. “but I thought since I… you know… you wouldn’t want to.”
“Justin, I want to have us back to the way we were before. I want us to just have fun like we used to. Minus all of the games we played with each other, though. Those aren’t always fun, because you always win. You get me right where you want to and you go and go and go and then you just stop. You stop right when I’m about to cave and you know it, but no. You have to continue the game. Come on J…. Please? For me? Just one more spectacular night….”
“Casey believe me, I want to do this so bad, but I’m just not sure.”
“Justin, forget everything. Just leave the world for just one night, and then when we’re done, you can come back, but just one night. Mostly, J, forget about Britney.”
“Its not Britney who is making me do this.” He said shortly. “I want you so bad right now… you have to believe me.”
“Justin, we’re the couple. Not you and her. Sometimes she makes me so jealous! She sees you all the time and she controls you. She has you wrapped so far around her finger that she has you right in the palm of her hand. Justin, please? Forget about her?”
“I’m sorry, Casey.” He said. “I didn’t know you felt that way…” He started leaving a trail of kisses on her neck. “And Case? There will be many more spectacular nights….” His lips came down and crashed upon hers again. He lifted he arms into the air and pulled at the bottom of her shirt. He lifted it over her head to see what a beautiful body she did have. He hadn’t seen it in a while. “Oh Casey.” He whispered. Casey smiled and tugged at his shirt, and he gladly held his arms in the air so she could expose his naked chest. Their lips met again, and his hands ran over her body hungrily. He sat her up again and unclasped her bra in the back with one hand. “Still got it.” She said against her lips. She smiled and ran her fingernails along his abs. She remembered how he loved it. He said it felt tickly, and made him shiver. He did, in fact, shiver. He pulled her bra straps down her shoulders, following it with kisses.
“J…” Casey half moaned. “We gotta lose the pants.” She laid down on the bed on her back and Justin straddled her. She went straight for his belt. She unbuckled it and started to unbutton his pants. He went from kissing her shoulders to kissing further south. He kissed down her chest until he reached one of her lightly tanned, round breasts. He took one of her nipples in his mouth and swirled his tongue around it, flicking it once and a while. With his other hand, he expertly massaged the other one, and he would periodically flick it too just enough to send her over the edge. “I’m serious, J.” He got off from being on top of her and shimmied out of his pants. She kneeled on the bed and started to peel off her pants.
Justin went back to massaging her breasts with one hand, and the other with his skilled mouth. His other hand made its way down to the rim of her panties. “You have an amazing body.” he whispered sexily.
“Yeah?” Casey asked running her fingertips up and down his back as she was fighting the urge to just scream. He was driving her wild.
“Yeah” He said quietly. “Just looking at it can make me want you So bad.” He murmured as he sucked on her neck and his hand teased her by not going further into her panties. His fingers softly touched her, but not as far down as she would’ve liked, and he knew that. He wanted to make her beg.
“Then go, J. Have me.” She whimpered.
“And when you’re close to me… like you are right now… oh my god. Mmm” He left kisses up her neck, to her jawbone and up to her ear. He started to suck her earlobe. “My mind goes completely wild. And when you touch me… I feel…” He dragged on, “I feel so-”
“So what?” She asked, eagerly running her fingers through his short curls.
“I feel so hot.” He finished.
“J,” she breathed, “Quit playin’.”
“What?” He asked innocently.
“Come on, J.” She urged him to keep going.
“Are you ready?”
“Yeah.” She cried.
“Sure you are…” She scooted further up on the bed. He used both hands to slowly strip off of her pink panties. When they were all the way off he stuck his index finger into her folds to see if she truly was ready. She was. He pulled his finger out of her and put it in his mouth. “Perfect.”
“I hate it when you do that.” She whined. “Its just so mean.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.” He said sarcastically.
He inserted his index finger back inside of her. He started to tease her, when she moaned, “Oh my god.” He knew he was doing well when she made that kind of response. He decided to take it up a notch so he inserted another finger and she threw her head back in ecstasy and screamed. “Oh my God!” She gripped his curls tightly and pushed his head down. He took his fingers out and replaced them with his tongue. She jumped backwards, almost away from him, but he grabbed her hip and held her closer to him. He twisted his tongue all around and teased her, but when he’d get excited and speed up he knew that he should slow down a little. He didn’t want her to climax too soon. “Justin! Yes! Oh my god!” She screamed out. He smiled, but there was no way he would stop yet. They were just starting. “Justin” she moaned loudly. “Now. Right now!”
“All right.” He mumbled. She did, indeed, climax. He knew she would. She trembled and he lapped up all of her juices. He eventually licked her clean.
“Oh my god.” She breathed deeply. “Wow.”
“Had fun, did you?” he asked smugly.
“Mmmhmmm…” She rolled over on her side and looked into his eyes. He pulled her closer to him. Her fully naked body was pressed up against his mostly naked body. She felt his penis harden against her leg. She giggled softly. “What?”
“You’re so sweet.”
“How?”
“You get so excited.” She giggled again. “Did I cause that?” She asked innocently.
“I’m afraid so.” He said. “Let’s go.”
“Go where?”
“At it.”
“Oh.” She smiled wickedly, and tugged at the rim of his boxers. She pulled downward and watched as he rose even more to the occasion. “I haven’t seen this in a while.” She said. Casey straddled Justin, and brought his penis to herself. She guided the head almost in, but then took it back out. He cringed, and she giggled. “I’m evil.” She whispered and planted a kiss on his chest.
“Come on, Case. Just go.” He begged.
“Say something sexy to me.”
“Something sexy to me.” He said quickly and pulled her closer to his penis again.
“I’m serious Justin.” She stated. “Say something really sexy. Get me all hot and stuff. Make me beg.”
“Come on, Casey….”
“Justin.” She pouted.
“Casey, you drive me absolutely insane. You’re so intoxicating that I think that if I’m away from you too long I’ll die. I’m craving for your touch.”
“Good boy.” She said and kissed his forehead.
He flipped her over, and he was on top now. He guided himself inside of her slowly. “Oh my god!” She screamed again. Justin’s lips smashed into hers once again, and his tongue darted into her mouth. Their tongues danced to a rhythmic pattern again, but Casey broke away. Justin started to pick up the pace, and Casey matched his every thrust. “Jesus Christ!” She moaned loudly. Justin loved to hear her scream. It was an ego boost for himself, and he just loved the way she screamed his name. She bucked her hips, trying to get him to go deeper into her. “Justin! Oh my god! Yes. Go faster!” Justin quickened his pace once again, and she still matched it. “Now, J. I’m gonna cum.” She always warned him to let him know what was about to happen. He slowed down a little bit because he wanted to experience the orgasm together. Casey wrapped her arms around his neck and dug her nails into her back. “Oh my god! Justin!”
“ready?” he panted. She nodded eagerly. He felt her muscles contract around himself, and knew that that was enough to send him over the edge too. Both of them shook, and Justin fell on top of her. “Wow.”
“Yeah.” Justin rolled off of her, and they crawled under the covers. “that was great.”
“Yeah it was.” Justin agreed and took her in his arms. He held her close to him. He kissed her forehead gently. “I love you.”
“Mmmhhmmm…” She murmured. “I love you too.”
Both of them fell asleep in each other’s arms and didn’t wake up until morning.
