Before Casica opens her eyes she's awake. She enjoys waking like this; it usually means that the night before got pretty hot and heavy. She's afraid to open her eyes, because she'll lose the last semblance of that hotness and heaviness.
Her brow furrows a bit – she's not in her bed. Oh yeah, she's in Australia.
Realizing this, her brows lax once more. Wait, what about the hot and heaviness?
One eye rises nervously to reveal a ruddy gold hued form lying next to her. Slowly the other eye follows suit. She rouses quickly leaning back on elbows and clutching the sheet over her bosom. Memories of all the events of the night before flood her senses. Heat rises from her body with the V between her legs being the boiler room. She looks at the sack of muscles as if Jesus himself is in his place. She can't see his face because his chiseled arm obstructs most of her view as he lies slightly on his side. No real need to because there's no way she can forget these stormy grays. Her stare travels down from his arm to his broad chest. She can see the creases in his physique and she wonders,
'Christ, he must flex in his dreams!'
The assessment follows further down to his narrow waist. Just as she thinks she'll be rewarded with a cock shot, the crisp white linen almost purposely hides her heart's desire. He stirs causing her eyes to scan back up to his face. He has his head lying lopsidedly on his arm and he's staring at her much like she just did to him. He has a Cheshire cat grin and she reciprocates with embarrassment.
He leans up and turns to get out of bed. Confusion and anticipation mar her face as he strides across the bedroom to the bathroom and closes the door. With the soft click, she blinks to realization that maybe she's over staying her welcome. She covers her face with her hands, trying to figure where her clothes and purse are. She scans the room through cracks in her fingers but nothing is familiar. Nothing but the gold foiled wrappers from the night before, looking like the night after Halloween when the kid sneaks their trick or treat bag to their room in the middle of the night. She swings her legs over the side of the bed and lands with a thud. Her feet skitter across the floor and out the door. She gets halfway down the staircase before she realizes she's running in effort to not let anyone catch her in her birthday suit. Her pace slows when she remembers they're in the maze like house alone.
Once on the ground floor, she immediately spots her dress lying of the back of the couch. Cassie scans the room for the rest of her garments but spots her purse first. She blows a sigh of relief before rushing to the clutch. She retrieves the phone and sees seven missed calls. The first five are from her
ahem
ex-fiancé. She snorts to herself appreciatively. She knows she has to talk to him sooner or later, later is rising on her list. The last two are from Carina, the newest and brightest pop star out according to some reeny bopper magazine the studio pays for press. Too bad you can't say much about her I.Q. or attitude. A bit of regret stirs in her stomach but just as she pinpoints the emotion, she squelches it; adventures don't last forever. Cassie doesn't want to be that girl getting the 'you knew what this was before we started' bit.
She pushes send on Carina's name and tucks the phone under her chin to her shoulder when she sees her panties. She listens to the call ring back of Carina's new song that she has to choreograph and instinctively starts to move to the beats. She didn't bother with the words yet; she lets the beat catch her first. All the while she is putting her dress on. Cassie stops at the small of her back with the zipper and hooks the closure. She goes to voicemail with Carina's snide voice saying, "Make me care to call you back." She straightens and catches the phone with her other hand as she rolls her eyes. While waiting for the beep, she shrugs her hair to one side and it becomes a disheveled representation of the style from the night before.
"Hey C… Sorry I missed your call. I lost my phone last night and I've
just
found it. Anyway, I'll be back at my hotel soon, so hopefully I'll just meet up with you when I get there."
She snaps the phone closed and turns to her shoes under the coffee table.
