Chapter Fourteen

Casey

I’M COOKING MYSELF some toast when I hear a knock on my front door. Putting down the butter knife, I make my way to the door and find Brett on the other side.

“How are you feeling?” he asks as he steps in and gives me a peck on the cheek.

“Good, now,” I answer as I step aside and let him walk into my living room. “I’m just making breakfast. Do you want some?” I offer.

He shakes his head. “I’ve already had some.” I see him looking around and I know he’s looking for Bryson.

“What are you up to today?” I ask as I begin buttering my toast.

“I took the day off to run some errands and to come see how you are feeling and if you needed anything.”

“I feel a hell of a lot better than I was on Sunday. I don’t even remember Sunday.”

Brett’s face frowns. “You should have called me, I would have come to look after you.”

“I know, but by the time I was really sick, I didn’t have the energy to call anyone.

“How’d Bry -”

“Mornin’ babe,” Bryson says as he walks into the kitchen, in only a pair of boxers. He walks up to where I’m standing and takes a piece of my toast. “Thanks,” he mumbles around the mouthful of toast.

I could throttle him right about now.

“Mornin’” I reply while putting more bread into the toaster.

“How you goin’, Brent?” he asks cheerfully, too cheerfully.

“It’s Brett,” Brett corrects. “I’m doing just fine. I was just here to ask Casey if she needs anything.”

“I think she’s fine. I did a shop the other day, remember.” Bryson arches his eyebrow at Brett as he talks. “Do you need anything, babe?” he asks me.

I silently shake my head, while I try work out what Bryson’s deal is. My first guess is that he’s jealous, but Bryson doesn’t do jealousy. Especially not with me.

I see Brett straighten up before he talks. “Are you still up for drinks tonight?”

Drinks?

Shit, I’d forgotten about them. Carmen wanted to go out for drinks to celebrate a year since she opened the hairdresser.

“Are you feeling up to it?” Bryson questions as he stands behind me, way too close. I can feel his semi-erection poking into my hip.

“Ah, yeah, I think so.”

Brett smiles but I don’t think he’s smiling because I’m coming, I think he’s just happy that Bryson got shot down.

I have a feeling I’m standing in the middle of a pissing war.

“Did you want me to pick you up?” Brett asks.

“No, thanks, Carmen already offered to.”

“Carmen?” Bryson asks. “As in Rowan’s cousin?”

“Yes,” I reply as I look over my shoulder. My knees nearly go weak as I see him standing so close.

“So, this isn’t like a date thing?”

I shake my head as Brett’s face turns into a scowl. “So Y'all won’t mind if I come along?” Bryson asks.

“I don’t see why not,” I answer, as Brett says, “It’s Carmen’s celebration drinks, I don’t think she’ll want just anyone there.”

“Oh, don’t you worry about that,” Bryson says with a flick of his hand.
